matters, once in a while. All GOOD
wives know that they must close
their eyes to a husbands shOrtcom-
ings The wife who frets about her
husband reading his paper an hour
after dinner should remember that
he hasn't time to look, at more than
the headlines at the breakfast table
or during his busy. day. He must
take an hour of his evening, if he
would know what is going on and
how to talk with other men on the
topics of the day.
Granted every wife is to be queen
of her home, but the king must have
rights, too. She may make a rule
that he must be home to dinner at
6 o'clock sharp. Yet if he fails to
put in an appearance, no matter
how much Maggie may fight in the
kitchen over it, instead Of going at
him hammer and. tongs when he does
show up. a wife should take his ex-
PLANTATION into consideration and not
be too quick to condemn him. A
business man cannot always govern
|fhis own time. People fail to keep
appointments with him. Unexpected
matters arrive for him to attend to,
admitting of no delay. He does the
best he can, hurrying home at the
earliest possible moment. If he is
GREETED by a sweet, patient wife, it's
likely he will explain all to her. If a
clustering wife meets him at the
door, he shuts his mouth glumly.
AS for an evening at home there
are many men to whom it would be
irksome. The hard business of the
days work has got on their nerves.
They would go to a theatre If their
wives would accompany them. If
the wives refuse to go on short no
tice, they HE off to their clubs and
boon companions. Instead of sulk-
ing at home, if the wife is in good
health and no circumstances prevent
her from going out, how much bet
ter it would be to make herself an
agreeable companion, accompanying
him. If a man finds his wife con-
trary he won't talk over business,
which is best for her to know about

When thoughts are pounding at
his breast,
And when he feels no longer can

There was little general conversation.
It was a quiet and saddened party.

doubt and uncertainty as to the fate

she were permanently deprived of her

Suddenly our attention was attract

of many people raising their voices at

Nearer and nearer came the tumult
A slave rushed into the dining hall to
cry that great concourse Of people
was swarming through the palace
gates. A second burst upon the heels
Of the first, alternately laughing and
shrieking as mailman.
"Dejah Thoris Is foundv' he cried.
"A messenger from Dejah Thoris!'
I waited to hear no more. The
great windows of the dining hall over

intervening. 1 did not waste time in

Once within the palace drew Sofa
to the dining hall, and when she had
greeted her father after the formal
manner of the green men she told the
story Of the pilgrimage and capture of
Dejah Thoris.
''Seven days ago, after her audience

Full text of the supreme courts
decision in the case of Mrs. Sophie
Byers versus Wa-na-ne ct al, involv-
ing the rights of the local Indians to
use of Umatilla river water for irri-
cation, shows the court completely
upheld the contentious of Mrs. By.
ers, asserting the Indians have no
right to water save for domestic
purposes and for watering stock. The
case modifles the ruling of Judge
Phelps and is in conflict with the con-
tentions of the government which
holds the Indians have n prior right
to the water.
If a previously outlined policy by
the United States attorneys Office il
carried out the case will be appealed
to the supreme court as the principal
contention is over the Interpretation
of the governments treaty with the
Indians and an act of congress re-
lating to the use of water from the
river by the old Byers mill.
BY the terms of the decision by the
state supreme court. given by Jus
tice McCamant, with Justice Bean
not participating, the court holds
that the Byers right was made per-
manent by an act passed by congress
in 1885.
The Original Permit.
The original permit was given by
the government through the Indian
agent in 1870 and read in part as
follows:
In granting this permission to con-
Struct the said water ditch it is up
on the express condition that no per-
manent rights shall attach or become
vested but that any ditch or canal
dug or constructed and the use Of
the same shall be subject to the con-
trol of and to he discontinued at tho
pleasure of the department.

IMPROVEMENTS WILL

Work Done at Thorn Hol-

by the labor shortage, Supt. f. L.
Hayes of the water department eX-.
poets to complete soon the improve
ments along the river at Thorn Hol-
low which will safeguard the pipe
line from high water during the win
ter and spring. This work has been
under way for several months and
Will be done in plenty of time to
serve the purpose for which it is in
tended
Supt. Hayes has been building a
, concrete retaining wall along one
bank of the river for a distance OF
500 feet to prevent the water from
the river from washing out "A section
of the new pipe line which carries
the water from the Shaplish springs.
Lower down he has been building a
wing dam to divert the river from
the point where damage was done to
the pipe line last year.
The new pipe line tapping hither-
to unused springs, while it secures its
supply of water upon the hills south
of the railroad tracks, crosses the
tracks ana for a distance OF several
hundred feet follows close to the
river through bottom land that is
each year flooded with the high wa
ters. 1t was n choice of taking this
course TO the gatehousc or tunnelng
200 feet through a. hill at much
greater cost. However, the selection
of the course near the river necessi-
tated building a retaining wall seven
feet high for a distance of about 500
feet. and this work is just being fin
ished.
Below this the river last year was
diverted from its old channel by a
jam of logs and the new course

threatened to wash out more. Tc

feet long has been constructed. The

PLANS ARE FINISHED
FOR BIG RED CROSS
MEMBERSHIP DRIVE

Plans for the big Red Cross Christ
mas membership drive in Umatilla
county were completed yesterday aft
ernoon at a meeting of representa-
tiVes from all Of the auxiliaries in the
county. Allotments We're made to
each community on n basis of 80 per
cent of its population, receipt books
and other supplies issued, the gener,
al plan of campaign outlined and each
campaign manager instructed in da-
ia regarding the drive.
Umatil1a county must have a Red
Cross membership of 1900 when the
drive is over on Christmas night.
The following are the mem mberships
each auxiliary is expected to report:
Fendleton 5000, Adams 200, Athena
$50, Weston 46O. Milton 900, Fruit
vale 15O, Umapine $50, Helix 200,
Pilot Rock 700, Echo 45O, Stanfield
200, Hermiston $50, and Umatilla
$50.
To secure the $500 total it will be
necessary that many families have
! two or more mem mberships. In other
words it will not suffice that the head
OF the house only be enrolled.
Members Not Dollars.
Members. not dollars" is the slo-
gan of the campaign workers. 1t is
the individual that the society is aft
er, for this is not a drive for funds.
Membership for the year 1918 may
be secured for 81. though there are
other classes Of membership ranging
up to 500. The Amsrican Red
Cross wants the support of every
man, woman and child and knows
that the best way to secure their
needed support is to enroll them as
active members.
A house to house. individual to in
dividual campaign will be conducted
in every community and an effort will
be made to reach every PRISON in the
county. Those living in remote sec
ions where committees will not be
able to go should send their dollar
n 10 headquarters.
Every house in which there is a
Red Cross membership will be given
a transparent Red Cross window flag.
For each additional member small
Red Crosses will be added. Behind
these window flags candles will be
burned on Christmas night.
