ELKS HAVE GOOD
Time in CONDOR

The Elks entertainment in
Condor Saturday was a very en-
joyablc occasion from start to
finish. The train was a little
late and the fun started i'm
mediately. After a parade in
which the candidates figured
quite con spicuously, lodge was
opened in the Odd Fellows hall
and the initiatory work given to
a large class. The visiting ladies
were escorted to the American
Theatre where they enjoyed a
matinee. The dance started at
nine o'clock but, owing to the
fact that lodge was late in closing,
the crowd was not large until
ten o'clock. Lindsey's seven
peice orchestra furnished the
best music ever heard in Condor,
in fact it was so good that all
felt inspired to join. The lunch
served in the rear of the hall was
delicious and the visiting Elks
all expressed themselves as being
greatly pleased with the enter.
tainment.

to get back at Treasurer Kay,
Senator Shanks hit a few farmers
in Gillian county who, because
of short crops, could not pay SO
promptly as they wished the in
terest they owed 10 the State
Land Board. The position taken
by Senator Shanks, if followed
by Treasurer Kay would have
meant foreclosure suits against
these farmers, an additional ex-
pense to them when they were
already in unfortunate circum.
stances because of poor crops
and in many cases would have
been absolute financial failure to
them. But the State Land Board
understood these things and to
help the farmers who were in
hard circumstances financially
gave them more time, knowing
that the farmers of Gillian
county are honest, and the fact
that most of these men are now
in better financial circumstances
and are meeting their interest
payments demonstrates the wis.
dom of the policy of the State
Land Board.
There is really no argument in
this matter. The people who car.
ried the rural credits amendment
understood that the funds would
be handled by the State Lane
Board and not by an expensive
tax commissioner, an examiner
of titles and appraisers who
would cost the taxpayers at least
$4,000 a year. If Senator Shanks
sincerely wishes to represent the
people of this district in the leg
islature he will do his best to Sc
cure legislation they desire. In
stead he offers as a defense fol
his stano that his plan (see Sen
ate Bill No. u is a better pla,
than the farmers own idea. H,
practically tells the people tha
they do not know what is bes
for them. That Senator Shank
is decidedly mistakenis the opin
ion of the Globe. The farmer
are the backbone of this count
and of the other counties of tn
state and they know without an
question what kind Of legislatio
! they need. The Glohei is oppose
5 to Senator Shanks' rural credit
measure and favors the measur
t that has been prepared by II
4 Farmers Union and Grange.
Condon globe. (Condon, Gilliam Co., Or.) 189?-1919, 1917-01-16
The FACTS IN THE CASE AS seen BY The GLOBE

The Grange and the Farmers
Union, fathers of the rural credit
amendment which was carried at
the November election. desired
that the farmers of this state
should have 5 per cent money or
first mortgage loans covering a
long term Of years. 1t was con-
templated by those who drafted
this bill in the interest of the
farmers that the funds to be de-
rived from the sale of bonds be
placed in the hands of the State
Land Board and by the Board be
handled in the same manner that
the State School Fund is now
handled and it was so understood
in general throughout the state
by the farmers and other sup
porters of the measure.
On the first day of the session
Senator Shanks, without consult
ing the Grange, Farmers Union
or State Land Board, introduced
Senate Bill No. l which provides
for putting into operation the
rural credits amendment but also
provides for the creation of new
Offices and officers and salaries
therefor, a needless and useless
expense Upon the taxpayers OF
the state and the one thing above
all others which the farmers did
not wish embodied in any rura
credits legislation. After intro
ducing this bill Senator ShankE
called upon State Treasurer Kay
and asked him to support this
rural credits measure. Treasurer
Kay refused on the ground tha
the bill did not embody those
features that were desired by
the Farmers Union or tn,
Grange. This lifted the lid
Senator Shanks accused the Stat,
Land Board or the State Treas
urer with being lax in the col
lection of delinquent interest OF
loans from the State School Fund
! Treasurer Kay came back witt
the showing that the collection
of interest of so large an amour
! as $4,000, 600 had been handle,
by his office in such a competen
! manner that no bank could max
5 a better showing in handling s
large q sum.
In summing up this matter
appears that Senator Shank
became angry because his re
! quest for Treasurer Kay's supper
was turned down and, in tryin

A FINE Treatment
FOR WRINKLES AND
DRY FADED SKIN

Women whose skin is wrinllled, SAL
low, dry, faded, and rough, can easily
and quickly change this condition by
an easy, inexpensive home treatment.
Go to Gorgas, the druggist, or any
first-class dealer, purchase a bottle
of Usit and rub little into the skin
for few moments each night before
retiring. This simple treatment is all
that is necessary, and the results are
apparent almost at cnce. The skin
which has lacked proper nourishment
quickly absorbs the pure nut oils of
which Usit is compounded, and they
supply Just the food and nourishment
required to restore smothness, plump
ness and natural color, and drive away
the hideous wrinkles which are such
n worry and cause of embarrassment
to women who want to look well. To
most people the presence of wrinkles
on a woman's face mean that-her
youth is past, but thousands of really
young women who have wrinkles
which come from a poorly nourished
skin, can just as we'll look their real
age, or younger, If they will take care
of their compledons.
Usit is not a paste or cream, but a
liquid in bottles, so clean and daintly
perfumed that it is a pleasure to use
it. Get bottle to-day and see how
quickly it improves the appearance of
your skin. 1t is positively guaranteed
not to cause the slightest hair growth.
It is also a splendid treatment for
freckles, blackheads and many forms
of eczema--Adv.

Mother Wins Over Riches
For Her 5-Year Old Boy

New York, April 6.-Fate spun the
wheel to-day for a little 5-year-old
New York boy and changed him from
George Shire, a rich mans son, to
George Petconk, a poor immigrant
woman's child.
Georges foster parents love him as
their own son, but because they re-
sDe"t the mother love which led the
II = immigrant woman to search for
him for three years, they gave him up.
And to-day George is going "home"

Bronx. He thinks he's just going for
a visit.
Mr.. and Mrs George D. Shire, who
are wealthy and live in luXuriously
appointed apartment near Columbus
Circle, feel that 'it is better to give
him up than to have the milestone of
an unwilling family hanging about
their necks"
Mrs. Helen Petconl1, the little wom-
an who works by the day; and who
took George, under a false name and
address-to the Sisters of Charity when
starvation stared her in the face four
years ago. is happy.
At first the Shires were going to
fight for possession of the boy, but
when Mrs. Shire saw the look in the
face of the little mother in court, she
told her husband they couldn't keep
George. So the Shires sent him
home" to-day with all his toys and
his hobby horse and his drum.

it all back. Everyone in Hays is prais-

The annual Easter collection was

Ralph Evans, a Tech graduate, who
is pursuing a course in the Wharton
School of the University of Pennsyl-

The Junior-Sophomore contest for
the class basketball supremacy will be
played off the fore part of next week.
Students of the school made various
plans for spending the two-day vaca-

period is shorter this year than usual,
the Tech boys will make the best of
1t. Many of the students participated
in the shoot this morning, while others
went on the hike to Hummelstown to
visit the cave. on the return they
went to the Brownstone quarries to
study the rock formations.
Many favorable comments have been
received by the students of the school
