The TightWad Family
1.-THE FATHER OF 1T.

Tell me, have you seen or heard
Any guy like this old bird;
What's his Job? Just this; he works
Not by spasms or by jerks
But. keeps at 1t, yearly, daily
Sometimes duly, sometimes gaily,
But, lust like he had no brains,
Hugging close mis- working chains,
Till he's nothing but remains
Got Just one ambish in life,
And its name is "Kids-and-wife,"
Keeps one foot dug In the slope,
Where achievement leads TO hope,
One foot slipping towards the pit,
Where the beast lives PLEASE remit. VI
He keeps just one shade ahead
OF the bank-pen dipped in red
And the cries for shoes and bread.
Does the Tightwad family ever
Say to him Good work and clever
Buck up, dad; you're going strong;
Here's a cheer to help along|
Do they2 Sayl II ever he heard
Any such admirln' word,
He's go nutty in his hat.
Don't you tell him things Ike hat
Cause he's needed where he's At
Still he's not the only ons
Needs an airing in the sun.
Some day, when I spin another,
Watch me open up on mother.

People go on suffering from little stom-
ach troubles for years and imagine they
have a serious disease
They over-eat or over-drlnk and force on

But they never think that the stomach

Mi-O-na tablets help your tired-out stom-
ach to do its work and banishes the cause.
No matter what you eat or drink, Mi
o-na tablets should sweeten your sour
stomach and stop gas belching In 10 min
utes. The heaviness disappears and the
stomach is greatly aided In its work Of
digestion.
And Mi-o-na not only promptly relieves
all distress but If taken regularly will

In order to fulfill Americas pledge
In world relief we will have to export

the very least minimum OF 20,0OO0OO
tons compared with 100000 tons pre-

by the ties of war to the European
allies.
II we fail to tighten the black spots
on the hunger map or If we allow any
portions to become darker the very
peace for which we fought and bled

inevitably follow famine. Should this
happen we will see In other parts Of

will have been In vain.

A food map of Europe today shows
not single country in which the fu-
ture does not hold threat of serious
difficulties and only small part which
is not rapidly approaching the famine
point. With the exception of the
Ukraine only those countries which
have maintained marine commerce
have sufficient food supplies to meet
actual needs until next harvest, and
even In the Ukraine, with stores aCcu-
mulated on the farms, there is famine
in the large centers of population.
Belgium and northern France, as
well as Serbia, appear on the hunger
map distinct from the rest Of Europe
because they stand In a different rela-
ton from the other nations to the peo-
pie of the United States. America has
for four years maintained the small
war rations Of Belgium and northern
France and is already making special
efforts to care for their increased
after-the-war needs, which, with those
of Serbia, must be included In this
plan, are urgent in the extreme and
must have immediate relief
The gratitude of the Belgian nation
for the help America has extended TO
her during the war constitutes the
strongest appeal for us to continue our
work there. The moment the German
armies withdrew from her soil and she
was established once more In her own

first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure In such a map for Ameri.
cans because there is no present lndl-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany, Germany probably can care
for her own food problem If she Is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
bic centers.
England, France, the Netherlands
and Portugal, all Of which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs, but their future presents serl-
Gus difficulties. The same Is true of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most of Russia is already In the
throes Of famine, and 100000 people
there are beyond the possibility of

The immediate demand for food
stuffs includes 5000 tons of grain.
1t was pointed out to Mr.. Polk by
the Scandinavian ministers that Fin
land is like Belgium, she has been
brought to her present status by un-
avoidable circumstances.
The understanding is that the Fin
nish government itself proposed an
appeal be made to the United States
and Great Britain to secure enough
bread materials to prevent starvation.
1t was recently reported that Fin
land was preparing to declare war
agaianst the allies.
There is no disposition to question
the sincerity of the Norwegian, Swe-
dish and Danish governments in their
efforts to aid Finland. Some time ago
the question of giving direct assist
ance from the scandinavian nations
was considered, but it was finally de-
cided it could not be done. By giving
aid this country might turn the Firms
in our favor.
This country would not consider the
proposition at all without a guarantee
from Germany that the aid could be
given to the masses. The Scandinavia
an governments will try to secure a
satisfactory guarantee before definite
action is taken by the United States.

T HE appeal of the Metho-

for the guests who are to

ence in September should not

pride in caring for conventions
that come TO this city and in
meeting the obligations of
host. Whatever is customary
for these people during their
conference should be freely
provided and more. The peo-
pie who are to be here are rep

which our city is under many

continued patronage for the

of self interest alone we cannot

Sweden and Denmark This PROPOSE
ton was presented to the State De-

Although Norway, Sweden and Den

foodstuffs to Finland. Acting Secre-
tary of State Polk took the matter
under consideration and will go into

DELL BLANCETT STREET

~ ELL BLANCETT sleeps in
- an unmarked grave on
the Battlefield of
France. He was the first
Pendletonian to fall in battle
over there. He was the first of
our Roundup stars to sacrifice
himself that others might live
in safety and decency. 1t would
be graceful and just to honor
his memory in some manner
during the coming Roundup.
Why not emulate the French
and name a street after him.
We have all kinds of streets
with meaningless names. The
street leading to the Roundup
entrance from the south is call
ed Oak street. That name is a
libel because there are no oaks
on the street and never will be.
Call it Dell Blancett street and
thus give it a name that for all
time to come will honor the
memory of a bold rider who
fell in a noble cause and did
good execution" on the enemy
before he died.
