What the press agents say
about Pendleton's pres
ent and coming
attractions.

Elbert Hubbard once wrote, Men
whose souls are corroding with care
weighted down with sorrow too great
for speech-are often those who set
the table in roar"
1t is a fact that the circus clown is
often a very serious-minded indi-
vidual, we are informed by the press
agent of John Robinson's Big shows
which will appear in Pendleton after
noon and evening. on June IA.
The press agent says that ne has
talked with every one of the fifty-one
clowns of the John Robinson's Ten
Big Shows and that he finds that two
of them are taking correspondence
school courses in mechanical engi-
neering; one is an omniverous reader
Of classic literature another is a vio-
linist who plays the DeBeriot con-
certos in a highly creditable manner
two are splendidly versed in the his
tory of the world, from the day of our
Aryan ancestors to the current events
OF the european war; one is lawyer
who is travelling for his health; one
is a clever sign painter; another is a
man, who, until he suffered a ner-
vous breakdown, four years ago, was
a prominent politician in an eastern
state; eight high school graduates,
and two have been successful actors.
Six are married and one is sending d
brother through Cornell University
Only one we are informed, is a clown
when he has his makeup" removed
-''and then he is just naturally a
comedian" says the press agent.

Hoarseness, Tickling Throat,
Severe Coughing, All Go
When Foley's Honey

Bronchitis too often leaves severe
racking cough that weakens the system
and paves the way for such grave dis.
eases as pleurisy and pneumonia. Some.
times there is a nervous hacking, worse
on arising and at nightfall, that Is espe.
cially wearing and should BY all means
be stopped promptly. FoLEY's Honey
and Tar is exactly suited to these condi.
tions. Il directly affects the mucous
lining of the throat, clearing il at once of
hoaBeness, removing the tickling phlegm
and stopping the severe racking cough.
Coughs usually grow worse ct night

sary to one weakened by a cold.

SAVING DAYLIGHT.

On the first day of May Germany puts into effect it's famous daylight saving order, which shoves the hands many nations will follow suit, how many municipalities throughout the world will watch with interest the working out of the plan remains to be seen; but it Is a safe assertion that the saving daylight plan would be a good one for many communities where men and women must labor into the late evening. By pushing the hands of the clock ahead one hour the day starts one hour earlier, and finishes one hour earlier, thus projecting 1t into the full flood of daylight. As it is now, many of the workers in the land arrive at their places of employment one hour after the early morning light and leave one basked mother earth. By the new plan they would go and come from their tasks in the light of day. fading though 1t be at those times. Because of the war England may not adopt the saving daylight plan, merely be- cause her enemy has seen fit to take up an idea which was rejected in the House of Commons not so many years ago. Daylight should be used to the full. Especially is this so in wartime and England by it's antipa- thy to German "kultur" should not throw away such an advantage as that offered by this plan, any more than other nations in the world should fail to adopt favorable measures because their so-callcd enemies have done the same thing Hate may spur on men to deeds Of valor, but 1t also delays the hand of progress when carried to extremes. the simple expedient of changing the hours of labor would be far better than setting the clock ahead one hour in order to realize the full advantage
 
 who have studied the details of the problem that because there are so many various and intermingling sys- tems of hours in regard to the vari- ous industries it would be much easier to set the hands of the clock ahead This need be done only when the days begin to grow longer. The clock can then be set back when the shorter days appear on the calendar. All tho confusion embodied in such plan would take place on the first two or three days of the charge. After that everyone would be accustomed to the idea, and the daylight plan would be a simple reality. Germany dis plays again the powers of prepared ness in adopting this course. Day light Is a valuable essential in the conduct of a great war.

killed. And i should have but one main idea, this investigation, that is, to find out why that switch was left open before a passenger train carrying hundreds of men and women came dashing along at thirty-fve miles an hour.
 Open switches are worse than many other causes of railroad accidents. The railroads realize this anl have set up every precaution against such occur rences. But for some reason or an other, whether through the fault of rackwalkers, or because of insuft- cient inspection, switches are left open and trains plunge through them to destruction This time the open switch was on a curve, and it was Inn possible for the engineer to see 1t In time to keep the train from plung1ng through; yet he did see it In time to apply the air brakes and bring the train under better control Otherwise every person on the train might have been killed.
 This one fact is certain The switch that was open at Jerichos Bridge did not open of it's own accord. It was opened by the hand of man, and who- ever opened the switch committed fragrant violation, either of law Or of duty. If a -wrecker the man who opened that switch deserves terrible punishment; if an employe of the railroad, and therefore guilty of neglect of duty, the man who opened the switch should be dealt with in se- verest tones In the one case 1t is the state that must punish the of fender, if found; in the other 1t is the duty of the railroad. And the road should exert every effort to find out just how the switch was left open, and who left it open.
