GOOD FARMERS ARE NEEDED
But II Might Be Possible for Too Many
People to Go Back to the Land,
Says Writer.

To jump from the frying pan into
the fire is said to afford slight relief.
Were half Of the city population to
"go back to the land" fancy that the
second estate of man would be QUITE
as unhappy as the first, Girard OBJ
serves in the Philadelphia Ledger.
A succession of more crops than we
could eat would reduce prices so low
that there would ensue an exodus of
disgusted newly made farmers back to
the towns. For If half the population
began to practice medicine, or made
hats, or weave carpets, those vocations
would offer no more attractions for
ambitious men.
So with farming. They know in the
South what too much cotton means.
They once burned corn in Kansas be-
cause 1t cost less than wood.
Farming is good game now-for
the man who knows how to farm. 1t
is not so good for the shoemaker, black
smith, store clerk or typewriter.
Mr.. Morgan, understand, finds
banking good occupation, but the
farmer who set up in trade alongside
of him wouldn't. We do need more
good farmers, and the agricultural
schools are making In four years as
expert tillers of the soil as those folks
in Lancaster whose ancestors titled the
soil for thousand years.

Springtime is here, old winters gone.

peARLERs' LOT is HARD ONE
When Divers Do Not succumh to
Hardships Attending Work the
Sharks Get Them.

The lot of the native pearlers of the
Persian gulf is a hard one, for all run
The risk of getting scurvy from the
lack of fresh food. Ice, of course, is
unknown in the fleet, and the impure
water breeds worms. The boiling and
flltering of water do not appeal to Ori-
entail people as yet. The saibs, or
rope pullers, get palms as hard and
cracked as an ancient Bedouin's heel.
They could prevent this by wearing
gloves, but that would be sign of
effeminacy, and bring ridicule upon
them.
The exposure in the water gives
many Of the divers weak hearts and
tuberculosis, and many of them be-
come deaf because the weight of the
water breaks their ear drums. Sharks
do not create the scare that one re-
Gently did on the Atlantic coast. They
abound in the gulf and many divers
have had hand bitten off. One young
Arab was brought to the American dis
pensary at Kuweit with his whole side
laid open by a shark that had gotten
wide mouth hold upon him. The
boy survived. We asked him II he
would give up diving now.
"No," he said. II will go back next
year. have to-"
The danger Of drowning is great, for
sometimes strong current carries the
diver far away from his boat, and be-
fore the rope puller can bring him
back he is drowned. The Arabs have
no pulmotors, and they are not efficient
in giving "first aid" If man re-
mains too long under the water, it was
written on his forehead" and that is
all there is to it.-E. E. Calverley in
the Scientific American Supplement.

Friday, April 81. The time has no

as this is the last Junior program o.

Tuesday morning one hundred ques
items were given to the school to

whi;h everyone should know. Thurs
day they were corrected and it seems
that everyone doesn't have the same
ideas on all questions as was shown
by the many answers eon different
questions.
Monday morning the members of

red and yellow variety that is very

two are mixed together, ground into
flour, and made into paste, which is
forced through small holes into long

Self-Poise,

Old Davy Skinner, a fisherman on
the Cape Cod coast, was noted for
unfailing self-poise and economy of
words. No one ever knew old Davy

he ever waste word.

along in his boat when n dory con-

the organization rs recruits were ne
! cessary by the expiration of that time
and with the assistance of several of
the cowboys and a number of Pendle-
ton business men. the full number
was enlisted by that time.
Blancett and Caldwell were the
first two to sign up and Frank Gable.
former champion bulldogger. and Ben
Corbett well known Roman rider,
and a former top sergeant in the reg
ular cavalry. were right at Eie top.
Blancett and Corbett were subse-

pass the physical examinations.
The recruits did not all come from
Pendleton. Pilot Rock, Athena. Wes-
ton and other communities I'm the
county furnished their quota. Alto
gether It was a fine looking lot of
horsemen who joined. but as far as
knowledge of things military were
concerned. they were the rawest kind
of recruits
Caldwell, after his election as cap
tain, appointed James f Cooke first
lieutenant. Cooke served as SER
geant in Troop y during the Mexican
border troubles and ne had good
working knowledge of drill regula-
tions and tactics. AT the time he
was MANAGER of the warehouses of
the New York Lubricating Oil Co. in
this city. Marshall Spell, who had
military experience in old Co. l. of
PendletOu, was made second lieuten-
ant Eugene Walters. who had had
considerable military training. was
made top sergeant and other MEM
bers who had had some experience
were given non-commissioned offices
Drill was undertaken at once by
such of the members as could be at
hand each week. The troop was mo-
biiizod about the middle OF July and
Happy Canyon pavilion became the
temporary armory. There a strcnu-
GUS daily routine was begun. so
strenuous that many of the cowboys,
unused to walking were soon limpinS
from big hlisters on their feet. How
ever. they were enthusiastic and il
wasn't long until they began to move
like real soldiers. They were un-
uniformed and without mounts at
this time
They we're held at the temporary
armory for several weeks and then
came a day when they were ordered
to entrain for Camp Withycombe at
CIackamas. In anticipation of this
day, however, the Pendlcton people
