WOMEN ARE BEHIND
INITIATIVE MEASURE

Pendleton, Ore. Aug. SO.-Wo-
mems clubs over the state are joining
the ranks of the supporters of the in
ifiative measure providing for the es-
adjustment of normal school at
Pendleton, Pare0t-Teacher organi-
cations are also enlisting for the cam
?aign,
0ne of the first public endorse
pCnts received for the measur was
{" m Mrs. Charles H. Cas.ner, presi-
= It Of the Oregcn Federation Of
VGmen's Club. Believing that the
time has arrived when it is necessary
to make additional provision for the
normal training ef our public school
teachers" she states, land that the
Sgeat distances in our state make il
advisable that school be located i'll
the Eastern section, therefore most
heartily endorse the location of said
normal school at Pendleton." "
There are 1000 vacancies in Ore
gon schools each year, according to
the state superintendent, and the nor
NAL school at Monmouth turns out
only about $50, leaving school autho-
rites to select the balance as best
they can. The rural schools are
shown to be the chief sufferers be-
cause in such schools the percentage
Of normal trained teachers is the
Lowest. At the same time the need
for highly trained teachers is great
est in rural districts because OF the
absence of supervision.

Don't Rubber On the Phone.
(By Lincoln Rappleye.)

(By Lincoln Rappleye.)
In thinking of this present age.
My heart with gladness sings,
For all the great discoveries,
With science to us brings,
And we should gladly use them, too,
Yes, all things which are known;
But there's one thing we should not
That's rubber on the 'phona.
1t is the most disgraceful ac..
Which anyone can do.
And you will think the same as |,
When this you rightly view,
For others, this act would be wrong,
To this you'll quickly own;
If wrong for them, it is for you,,
To rubber on the phone.
There was a man long years ago,
And very rich he grew,
Because affairs of other men
This wealthy man ne'er knew.
He never felt inquistive
OF business not his own;
This happy rich and good old man
Ne'er rubbered on the phone.
But there are many living now,
Who never heard of him.
They see to other mems affairs,
They're always "buttin in"
And there's truth which | must tell
Although it makes ME groan,
The male is not the only one
who rubbers on the phone.
I'd have YOU use your telephone,
IS a wonderful gift.
And if you use it as you should,
Twill many burden lift.
But I'm afraid that from your heart
All de:ency has uown,
If you persist, day after day.
In rubb'ring on the phone.

District Forester, George H. Cecil,
Portland Oregon, has this week
sent to lie Forst Supervisors of Ore
gon, Washington, and Alaska a sup
ply of the National Forest Travellers
Registers, which were recently issued
by the Forest Service.
These registers will be placed for
use at ranger stations and other
points frequented by tourists, cam
pers, sportsmen and other forest
users, to make a permanent record
Of travellers on the National Forests
Each page of the register bears the
Forest Service shield, and contains
the following printed notice:
The National Forests are the pre-
perty of the people and are admins
ed and protected for their benefit
Care with matches, burning Tobacco
and camp fires is essential to thei
protection. Your help is solicited
In case of real need, the telephone
system of the Forest it at your ser
vice If the Forest rangers know
where you are going, they may be of
assistance to you. Criticisms or
suggestions will be appreciated if
addressed to the District Forester. L.

Figures just compiled in the Office
Iof the District Forester, George H..
Cecil, Portland, Oregon, show that
157, $50 cattle and horses, ard 99t,-
III sheep and goats, belonging to
S,454 premittees. were admitted to
the National Forest ranges of Oregon
Washi1gon during the period July /,
1915 to June 80, 1916,
These figures give ali increase IF
90 S34 cattle ar.t horses. and de
crease of 1869 sheep and goats,
compared with the number submitted
during the preceding fiscal year.
The decrease in sheep is accounted
for by the fact that many sheepmen
have gone into the cattle business.
The figures as whole show big in
crease in the number of stock on the
forests of the district. Since four
sheep are considered equal to one COW
on a range basis, after deducting the
1869 decrease in sheep, the figures
show an increase equivalent to H.
667 sheep.
The returns also show that during
the 1916 season the stock grazed be-
longed to 1852 owners, but this year
3.454 owners are represented, indi-
eating clearly that the forest service
is steadily carrying out its policy Of
making the widest distribution a.
mong the small ranchers adjoining
the forest. Six years ago there were
1858 grading permittees useing the
National Forest ranges Of the the
two states.

Jack Dillon Is The New
Giant-Kiuer Of Fighters

Jack billions victory over Frank
Moran has added immensely to his
reputation But then Jack has always
been good fighter and there were
many ring fans in Honolulu who
weren't surprised when he trimmed
the blond Pittsburgian. In fact, the
victory was popular one here.
Jack Dillon is of Scotch-Irish de-
scent. Perhaps that's why he is such
a terror among the heavyweights.
He has the Seotchman's unconquer-
able obstinacy, combined with the
Irishman's wild love of fighting.
Also. so some of his opponents
claim, he has a hypnotic eye. Dill
Ions eyes are the lightest steel gray
so light that one sees only the black
pupils. They are fringed with coal
black lashes and shaded by heavy
black eyebrows. Such eyes are found
sometimes in the north of Italy
among the mountain men; sometimes
in remote parts of Spain, where the
Moors were never conquerors; most
is said, they are souvenirs of the
great armada and the shipwrecked
bands of Spaniards who took refuge
on the hospitable Irish shores.
Dillon Looks Like the Real Thing.
In the ring Dillon is the picture of
fighting man. His expression is sui
len. He is eager to begin and he is
eager to keep on. Before a fight he
sits in his corner glazing across the
way at his opponent The black pu-
pills of his steel gray eyes never
waver. His attitude is that of a
Gagged tiger waiting expectantly for
the attendant to throw. in his daily
hunk of raw beef. The bell rings and
Dillon is instantly out of his corner
with tigerish spring. From then
on there is no backward step-by
Dillon-until something drops or the
last bell rings. And up to date Dill
IN has never been on the floor. This
is his pride-that he has never been
knocked down in a fight.
billions real name is Ernest Cutler
Price, and he was born in Frankfort
Ind, February 2, 1891 When he be-
gan fighting, eight years ago. he
didn't want his identity known. With
true sporting inclinations he took the
name of great race. horse, added
Jack and became Jack Dillon. He has
been Jack Dillon ever since. ~.. -.

ter, then a middleweight. He beat a
number OF good men in these classes,
fought a few draws, lost a decision
or two and went through great num-
Der of decisionless bouts, He grad
uaIly became known all over the
country as avery dangerous fighter
who had a frugal habit of saving OPP
ponents for future use. That is, he
did not always try to win by the
knockout route. At times this made
Jack very unpopular in some loca1i'
ties. He stayed out of New York for
a long time after a dreary 10 rounds
in Madison Square Garden with
Frank Klaus Both Dillon and Klaus
wore out their welcome that night
and paid for it in lost reputation.
Jack fought lot of good middle
weights Among those he met often
around the circuit were George Chip,
Eddie McGoorty, Bob Moha, George
TX. o. Brown, Howard Morrow,
Harry Mansfield, Leo Houck, Jimmy
Gardner, Jack (Twin) Sullivan, Frank
klause, Gus Christie, Frank Mantell,
Buck Grouse and practically all the
others who could draw a gate with
him. He has had couple Of hundred
fights. -. -
All this time Dillon fought along
without being stirred by any great
ambition. -.-...-..
And then he outgrew the middle:
weight class. He began m1ngling
with the heavy weights.
He's midget among the big fell
lows. He is only feet ~ inches
tall, and his normal fighting weight
now is 164 pounds.
But physically he's a stick of dyna-
mite He has the power of giant in
his thick, bullying muscles. His round
jawed, high cheek-boned head is set
on a short, thick neck. His arms are
tremendous and his whole body one
mass of perfectly proportioned, steel
fibered, muscular tissue. He is a
skilful and effective boxer, with I
trick of working at close range and
delivering terrific body blows with
