MANY LIVE MEN WAITED

It takes live men to make 6
 town. Dead men are only fit to
 inhabit cemeteries. If they are really decidedly dead all over. we tenderly lay them away in the sleep of the tomb; if they are dead to all enterprise and spirit, outside the narrow lines of their own selfish interests and and yet persist in walking around, moving their callouSeG hearts and conscience where req business is wanted to push ano throb with vigor. they are only like the drore bees, in the way untiI they are stung to death, and dragged outside the hive to legitimate industry. Twelve really live men are worth more to a town generally than a round thousand of such useless materi- al that lays around like rubbish m a rushing steam that Is ach ing and foaming to run mills and factories. Live men bless and dead men curse a town,

LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES

A wise and honest man. man of ability and earnestness, is not troubled about looking for opportunities. Many and great opportunities are on a constant outlook for such men. 1t Is the numbskull and street loafer who is continually talking and com blaming about the lack of oppor- tunities. As rule his native town is too slow and small, and he feels compelled to leave his parental backyard for some hustling. busting Metropolis in order to show the world the the stuff ne is made of. Mush.
 We have several such young fellows standing around the post office, with their hands in their pantaloon pockets up to the el- bows, smo"lng cigarettes feeling confident that our home town haa no opportunity for them. It is sad fact. but every village and town has such serious par ents. Remember, TO village is so small and quiet, but is large and active enough for every hon- est man of practical ability to be happy and do something nobIe and useful.
 1t is all fal-de. rol to be ever lastingIy hankering to live in a large city because of larger opportunities. Of course a man who has really outgrown his native village has moral right to seek larger opportunities else where. but that man is as rare as a pearl in an oyster. Thou sands of our youth, however, are annually rushing to our larg- CT cities believing themselves talented and capable to become famous and financially success full in the midst of the large and dazzling opportunities of the city. Alas only to be compelled to turn the grindstone for sharp ening the tools of others. It is more satisfactory to be a promin- ent and respcctee citizen of a village than to be an insignifi- cent stranger, jostled anb ig- nored, by the hurrying mass of humanity in metropolis. We would rather be a hog on a farm than a caged lion ina menagerie

Most people probably need to be reminded that not only is beauty its own excuse for be- ing" but it pays in dollars and cents as we'll. Recently Presi- dent Barrett of the National Union told our Progressive Farmer readers about finding farms in Paradise Valley, Cali fornia, selling for $1,000 an acre chiefly because the country round adout had been made so entrancinQly beautiful. Like wise the Charleston News and Courier notes that every year al this season unnumbered visitors are attracted to that city by the far-famed beauty of the neigh boring Magnolia Gardens beauty will pay a neigh borhood. an individual, or city.

THE TIME ID ADVERTISE

There is nothing on earth so mysteriously funny as news paper advertisement. The prime, first, last, and all the time, object of an advertisement is to draw custom. It is not, was not. and never will be de- signed for any other human pur- pose So the merchant waits until the busy season comes and his store is so full of GUS toners that he can't get his hat off, and then he ruShes to the new spaper aad puts in his ad- yertisement. That is, some of them do, but occasionally q level headed merchant puts in a larg- CT one and scoops in all the business whiiehis neighbors are making mortgages to pay their gas bills
 There are times when you couldn't stop k leopIe from buying everything in the store if you planted a cannon behind the door and that's the time the advertisement is sent out on its holy mission. It makes light

Wheat Markets are Forced Lower

PORTLAND, ore, June 19.-Wheat
markets were weaker and lower all
over the worli during the slast six
days. The weakness was general and
seemed to be sort of sympathetic ac-
tion.
Considering the crop conditions
there should have been very sharp
advance in the price OF wheat at
worlds centers during the six days,
but instead of this the market every
where reflected depression
There is no doubt that the chief
cause OF the present weakness In the
wheat trade is the huge supplies now
held by Eglish interests Reports
from London and Liverpool indicate
that stocks are the heaviest known
for many years ana that warehouse
room Is at a premium owing to the
needs of the government for storage
space for. ammunition, the trade can.
not secure additional space for wheat.
one of the noticeable features OF
the trade during week was the in
sistent cry of italy for supplies. II
was also noticeable that despite all
the "hot air" recently blown regarding
the extreme weakness OF the English
trade and the efforts or the trade
there TO resell some OF its holdings ltal-
ian interests were unable to purchase
single cargo IN Great Britain. This
leaves the impression quite clearly
that the Engliah are trying 10 depress
the market foT the coming season.
There is no deniai OF the fact that
the carryover OF wheat into the 1916
II season by the worlds trade will be
one OF the heaviest known, but again
il must be remembered that the
worlds crop IL going to be one Of the
smallest known. In comparison with
the record yields of the 1915 season
this seasons out put is going to look
very small. For that reason there Is
rot the slightest doubt that every
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1916-06-19

bushel will be needed 70 make up for
the deficiency in the 1915 production.
Freight rates are sure TO avert a
big influence upon the wheat trade
OF the world during the coming sea-
son. In fact there is every indication
that some Of the present weakness and
dullness OF the trading is due TO the
general expectations OF shippers and
buyers tina ocean freights will show
a sharp decline before the bulk Of the
worlds crop is ready to move. In
fact recently lower rates have been
quoted along the Atlantic coast. While
this has not yet been felt along the
Pacific coast. whatever affects the
trade generally win be forced here be-
fore long.
Oats and barley markets were
weaker and lower during the six days

wheat.

GENERAL LIVESTOCK
MARKETS ARE LOWER
FOR WEEKS TRADE

PORTLAND, ore, June l9-De-
preston has generally been shown in
the local livestock market for the
week Hogs and cattle were lower
and sheep were down. Lambs alone
we're the exception and toward the
closing Of the week some selected
stock sold higher.
Market for hogs here was under in
fluence Of the very heavy supplies now
being marketed Seemingly the flood
gate of swine offerings has been
knocked aside and very free move
ment to market shown.
The market in the northwest has
been much weaker than elsewhere in
the country for the reason that busi-
ness conditions are not as good. Until
labor is more generally employed the
consumptive demand for pork and
pork products is not likely to be heavy
in this section.
General hog market range:

Cattle Trade Depressed.
with California flooding the entire
coast cattle markets with supplies and
the volume Of southern stuff being
marketed here the greatest known,
the price Of cattle naturally was on a
downward scale during the week at
North Portland.
Sharply lower prices resulted for the
California offerings but the greatest
depression was in northwest stock,
which was not generally of as firm
quality as the southern offerings
Just when the California run will
let up is a matter that even the lead
ers Of the trade are unable to state.
The absence Of sufficient feed in the
south is the factor that is forcing the
marketing of the bufK Of the cattle
from that section.
when this run stops there will be In
all probability strengthening of the
/ position of the trade and price.
