American Spending.

Pleasure is limited by the time to enjoy it; in
enjoyment, time is more than money.
1t is forgetfulncss of this fact which makes
much Of our American spending banal and sterile.
With much money to spend and few hours in
concentrated, expensive pleasure. We cannot imi-
tate the placid, fruitful economy of the Teuton,
who takes his beer and music inexpensively and
at his leisure. Nor are we like that abstemious
German professor who, on his vacation, travelled
on the slowest Bummelzug because that way the
joyous trip lasted longer. The meteorc flights of
our tourists through Europe in point; the
automobile, ALSO illustrates the nervousness and
swiftness of our pleasures. Motoring is broaden
ing and delightful but we arc rushing into this
amusement with more than usual national
When pleasure becomes the vogue, conveniences
and even necessities arc sacrificed to it. We are
like those travellers of old who sold their lands
to see other men's.-Walter E. Weyl in Harpers
for March.

Of which the company has plenty.

taken up again about March Ii.
The following men reported for duty at
property inspection last Wednesday:
Sergts. Winters and Johnson. Corporsls
Davis and Peske and PriVates Cooper,

There is prospect OF the Signal Corps

pleased with the prospect. That will
mean shelter tents and blankets, with no
big canvas or cots.

l sometimes hear a man say, in presence OF his
very kind wife, "Oh, my dear, want to do that
wrong. Let me do it wrong"
| have noticed that the moment he uses those
words his wife stops interfering. Then, in his own
way, he does some trifling act like pulling down
the window shade or stirring the CRATE FIRE.
His humorous habit of defending himself from
petty interference at home has made his wife con-
scious of the little fault in her character. The
humor in it, emphasized by repetition, operates
as check and keeps her from feeling hurt.
There is very important principle in the say
ing OF that husband 1t ought to be kept in mind
by every of US.

booster and sportsman. has agreed
to straw the road from Pendleton to
Pilot Rock for the motor travel.
At a meeting Of the Roundup di-

was extended Mr.. La Dow for his
work. The work OF strawing the
Echo road has been undertaken by
Wesley ~ Matlock and VIII Wyrick.
A portion OF the work has been COM
pleted and the remainder is to be fin
ished as soon as teams are available.
Provided some other good spirited
man or men would undertake the
work of strawing the road to La
Grande as far as the foot of the
mountains all roads to Pendleton on
the main thoroughfares would be in
fine shape. From all present indica
tions Pendleton will be the mecca for
thousands of automobiles September

that the highways be in as good a
shape as possible The parking of
