An ample supply Of writing mate
rials Of all kinds is supplied at the
"Y' buildings, and it has been OBJ
served that the first thought Of most
of the men upon arrival is to write
home to their families.
By sheer force of necessity the
bovs in the new army now formhas
are to a very great extent isolated
from, the outside world which they
have lust left. Their work and their
environment results in the formation
,of new friends. new methods Of living
and new habits. This abrupt change
must naturally tend to break in re-
lations with he old and initiate a
new system of living. This may be
better and it may be worse than the
life that has been left.
II is here that the y. NJ. c. a. eX-
erts powerful influence for good
among the boys. An earnest, tactfu!
and friendly attempt is made to help
the soldiers maintain the home stand
ards and keep those inclined to slip
away, in close touch with the family
circle. 1t has been proved that this
alone tends to combat the temptations
which surround army life. The Y
NJ C. A. is teaching the men at every
camp that the standards should be
no different in the army than those
held in civilian life.
Splendid men have enlisted from
among the clergy to assist in this ex
cellent work. 1t is 4 comforting
thought to every father and mother
that army life will be made the bet
ter for this assistance and help from
older and more experienced men.

While the most bitter words are be-

Judge Walter r. Burns, charging

the names of the senators mentioned.
torether with that Of La Toilette:
IF had a wish it is that you men

ought to be tried promptly and fairly
and believe this court could admin

yiction as strong as life that this

Just what Judge Burns had in min'

that he proposed standing them W

! of the contestants, riding the untam-
ed outlaws, roping the wild steers,

running races or conIesting in the
many other exciting competitions. 1t
is a classic dramatization of western
lie in which the actors are real cow
boys cowgirls and Indians directly
from the ranges and reservations.
There is no set stage effect, all the
events are competitive and the thrill
ing climaNes are impromptu.
The Roundup was first produced
in 1910 and in 1919 $4,000 people
passed through the gates and since
that date the attendance has steadily
increased until today it is witnessed
by the largest aud ence attending any
single event in the western part Of
the continent,
1t is owned by the municipality of
Pendleton, rays neither dividends nor
profits, and is staged by a volunteer
association of young men who serve
without salaries, even paying for
their own seats at the performance.
Its money goes into prizes for the
contestants and all events are purely
amateur
The arena is enclosed by n quarter
mile track which is almost entirely
surrounded by Srandstand and
bleachers and a total seating capacity
OF 30 600. the largest west Of the !

Scores Sleep in Streets
TO Get Roundup Tickets

For four or five years past men
have slept in the streets of PendIe-
ton before the Roundup portable
ticket office in order to hold front
places in the line when the ticket
sale opened. This year. however,
broke all records for eagerness to Sc
cure first choice of the grandstand
seats. The line began forming a fun
"a hours before the opening of the
sale, and all day and all night watch
full walters" kept their stations.
J. J. Hamley, F. J. McMonies and
Lester Hamley, all Of Hamley & Co.,
makers Of the Roundup prize SAD
dies, copped the priced places in the
line this year. At o'clock on the
last day of August they hired three
small boys and stationed them in
chairs on Alta street before the closed
ticket office. The sight of this pre-
paredness led others to follow suit
and by afternoon there were two dozen
boys and men squatting in line in the
hot sun.
Chairs gave way to cots at night
fail and there were 35 sleepers in the
oren. The early morning hours
brought scores of early risers who
heightened the line.
The first days sale this year broke
all records. During the first three
hours an average of $1,000 an hour
poured through the window of the
ticket office and by O'Clock the re-
ceipts had grown to $4,000. During
the first three hours, Tom Boylen,
veteran ticket seller, was not required
to make a cent of change. Every
buyer knew just what he wanted and
had check or the right change
ready.
In order that the thousands of out
flown visitors might be protected,
the Roundup directors only open
certain sections Of the grandstand to
home people The others are re-
served for. mail orders and for the
crowd that does not arrive until the
DAYS of the show. No one person is
permitted to purchase more than one
box Of IL grandstand seats for each
cay In this way does the board fore
stall scalpers
A new record for an Individual sale
of tickets was made this year when
Benjamin f. Boone, a Portland auto
dealer and an enthusiastic Round Up

MUNCIE. Ind, June 29.-The sui
eide of J. Wheeler McKenna, Central
Indiana Gas Company office man, yes
terday, presents an unusual psyscho
logical condition, according to his
friends. McKenna, who was only
twenty-seven years old. and lived hap.
PLY with his wife and two children.
became obessed with the idea that he
was a habitual drunkard and could
not break himself of the habit, his
acquaintances say. Yet his employers
and his friends assert that they never
saw him under the influence of intoxi.
cants. That he took an occasional
drink is probable, but that he was an
incurable drinker those who knew him
best say was Pigment Of his own
imagination.
His employers never had complaint
to make of his drinking and his init
mate friends never saw him intoxi-
Gated.
McKenna spent most of his life in
Hartford City, and the body was taken
there yesterday for the funeral SER

HOW THIS?
COrns Lift Out
With Fingers-NO Pain!

Thanks to a new discovery made
from Japanese product your foot
troubles can be quickly ended.
Ice-Mint, as this new preparation is
called, is said to shrivel up hard
corns, soft corns or corns between the
toes SO that they can be lifted out
easily with the fingers. It's wonder
full. Think Of it; only a touch or two
of Ice-Mint and real foot-joy Is yours.
There is not one bit of pain or sore
ness when applying it or afterwards
and it doesn't even irritate the skin.
If your feet are inclined to swell or
puff, or If you have cracked or bleed
ing toes, it will draw the inflammation
right out and quickly heal the sore
and tender places. 1t Is the real jap
anese secret of fine, healthy, little feet
and is greatly appreciated by women
who wear high heel shoes and by men
who have to stand on their feet all
day. Try it. Just ask in any drug
store for small jar of Ice-Mint and
learn for yourself what solid foot COM
fort really is. There is nothing like it.

BERNIE, June 10 (by maiD.-I have
been expressly requested by the Ger.
man revoiutionaries. with whom I am
In constant communication, to warn
the press OF the Entente countries
whether capitalistic or socialistic, to
do its utmost to destroy the illusion OF
German revolution.
The German pToletariat, with the aid
OF few intellectuals, cannot make a
revolution. What is indispensable is a
great measure of help from the middle
classes or the peasants, or better, both
these classes, also If possible mill.
tary aid, with artillery and officers
who would head the movement and a
Parliament to give the revolution its
Lioral support
In the Petrograd revolution all these
elements came into force at the same
time.
Compare the Russian revolt with the
situation in Germany. Do you see the
Reichstag revolving, with the aged Dr.
kaempf playing the role Of Rodzian-
ko? We might perhaps find a few
Engelhardts; my correspondents guar.
antee the existence in the German or
ficers' Corps of Democrats, Socialists,
revolutionaries and even anarchists
But they are minority in whom no
hope can be placed In any case,
where could we find the regiments, es-
pecially guard regiments, to make the
revolt a success?
All Want Victory.
AS to the German middle classes,
without doubt a great majority desire
reform, but what they want still more
IS a German victory. An exception is
perhaps formed by the business men,
who fear the effect the submarine war
will have upon trade with North and
South America and the far East. So
exasperated are they that they might
give financial support to revolution.
But apart from these the middle class
es'still look out to the battle front with
the same enthusiasm, as they did at
the beginning-or Siegrfied-line abso-
lutely unbreakable. That is also the
opinion Of the great mass of people in
Germany.
A Hindenburg line that can never
be pierced, a submarine war that will
sooner or later force England to her
knees, a Russian revolution that will,
as most people believe, end in sepa-
rate peace-these are the three props
for the courage Of the German people
during the critical three months prior
to the next harvest.
