Enon-Sherouan the Just, sultan of
Persia In the days when Omar Khay-
yam was making vain attempts to sell
his verses to the magazines, one day
bought an indestructible vase, wonder
fully fashioned by potter of magic
powers, for his royal palace at Rhagas.
Along came the Tartars, acting like
Prussians, and destroyed Rhagas, max
ing the royal palace look like the Cloth
Hall at Ypres. That was in 1921.
The jar of Enon-Sherouan the Just
has just been added to the collection
of Macdermid Parish Watson, New
York art collector, after existing only
in legend and tradition for nearly
seven centuries. Two pieces of 1t were

Human "Fish" No Match for AnoI,

Human "Flsh" No Match for Angler.
Fishing man was the novel feat
performed by man at Avalon, Cali
fornia, few days ago. Captain Adar-
60, powerful swimmer, played the
part of the fish, while Captain West
brook took the part of the angler. The
FISH" was given one hundred and fifty
feet Of line at the start and quickly
gained thirty feet. Then the angler
felt that he was ready to begin tactics
to "subdue" the "fish," and telling
about 1t afterward, Captain Adargo
said: "Then / was pulled backward
and couldn't make any headway
against the outfit. I have gone into
some heavy swells as a professional
swimmer and coin diver, but the fish
Ing stuff has got them all beat for TAX
Ing the energy out of man. Every
time Westbrook came back on the rod
1t almost lifted me out Of the water"
In fifteen minutes Captain Westbrook
regained the one hundred and eighty
feet of line. He "fished" with his usu-
al tackle. A broken line would have
won the contest for the fish.

ROLL GALL OF
RED CROSS NEAR

The annual renewal of membership
to the Red Cross and the securing Of
new members is at hand. The follow
ing appeal is made by the Chairman of
the Christmas Roll Call Committee.
"To the Citizens of Umatilla County:
"The Christmas Roll Call of the Red
Cross opens on the 18th Of December.
This signifies renewal of membership
on the part of those already enrolled.
and the joining of the organization by
those not now enjoying the privilege.
This county has an approximate pop
ulation of $4,000. Half that number
ought to be within the membership of
this migh.iest Of all world instrument
talities of mercy. The cost is one
dollar. There are few indeed who can
not afford that sum to aid in the stu
pendous labor to which rrostrate Eu-
rope beckons America.
"As Chairman of the Roll Call Com
mittee, appeal now for open pocket
books, for alert public sentiment, for
unselfish devotion, for the immediate
setting aside of dollar, and for its
dedication in the name of charity to
humanity's need. Europe. ASIA. Af-
RIGA, all are calling. The American
Red Cross must be the vehicle of re-
sponse. We shall heed the cry of
suffering not only among the nations
hitherto our allies, but among the
nations hitherto our foes. Peace is i'm
minent now. and there must be no line
of demarkation.
"In the shadow of suffering every
where, everywhere throughout the
globe, in the name of compassion. in
the name of Christian Charity. l ap-
peal to each to lend hand now. for
the need Of the nations is greater than
ever before. Membership in the Red
Cross is badge alike of service and
of honor. Respectfully.

FAILED TO PLEASE NAPOLEON
Narrow Minded Officials Who OBJ
scured Royal Emblem Had Mis-
Judged Mind Of Great Emperor.

A pretty story is told by some his
torians Of Napoleon's entrance into
French cathedral city in the days when
his eagles were taking their most glori-
GUS flights and Europe was at his feet.
It happened that the cathedral win
dows were, some of them, decorated
with the design of the feur-de-lis.
Eager partisans had covered up these
windows so that the lilies would not
be seen.
The emperor, sharp of eye as ever,
inquired the reason for the obscura-
tion Of the windows.
''They bear the fieur-de-lis design
and there Is no time to change It." ex-
planned some one. "So we covered 1t
up, fearing 1t might offend your maj
esty."
"The lilies of France" said Napo-
leon, @have led her sons to victory
through many wars. Surely every son
Of France should be utUiid Of them"

then, to snatch fish of dazzling silver
from river of polished jade.
Such, impressionistically, Is Rock
Point, Nd, where all summer long
many Washingtonians go to catch fish.
The place is not at all fashionable; /;
there is no hotel worthy Of the name,
and the prices Of everything are alto
gether too low to attract the "best peo-
pie"
Even the fact that at least one cabi-
net officer, a senator or two and sew
eral congressman go regularly to Rock
Point does not seem to add to Its dig
nifty or to endow 1t with the rank Of a
real summer resort. Somehow even a
senator loses his value Us social or
nament when he puts on pair of
overalls and yells and gets excited over
four-pound sea trout.
The great majority of those who go
to Rock Point are simply anglers
whatever else they may be at home,
here they are but members Of the great
fraternity Of fishermen. Bankers and
plumbers often "chip In" on the same
motorboat and borrow tobacco from
each other.
Women are fewer than men, but
never lacking, and they are always
hearty, sunburned women Of the kind
that get their hair wet when they 60

and were up against it" in our refugee
homes, and when everything looked
dark, as to war success, and we could
not tell what day might bring forth,
are able to tell the present generation
that patience and faith in Almighty God
can bring comfort and peace of mind,
when it looks hopeless and black with
gloom.
My heart goes out to the mothers who
watch the papers for the casualty lists,
day by day. I sent a note of sympathy
to Hon. Theodore Roosevelt when his
son last his life in France, and to his
splendid wife, who has seen every one
of her four fine promising boys leave
her to go "over there" A reply note
came yesterday, thanking me for my
sympathizing words. 1 have known
Colonel Roosevelt many years. I am
writing this article for the suffering
mothers who will read it. maybe after
the casualty lists have made their fond
hearts CULVER in anguish and deep sor-
row. Do not forget that nothing is so
bad that it cannot be made worse. Cast
your minds in and upon your daily sur
roundings, and try" to remember that
God is in His Heaven, and He will hear
the prayers of faith and will give sur
cease of sorrow, in days to come. If we
lay our burdens upon His promises.
Your dead son might have died "over
here'-for danger turks in every place.
Sometimes we see the most unexpected
things happen-where we had reason 20
think every precaution had been taken.
Human life is full of mystery. We
come into life without our knowledge
and consent We are called to go out of
life without being able to add one cubit
to our height or to save ourselves from
Affections that come upon us--like IN
army with banners-especiaily in time
of war. We know that God has gwen
us in the Bible the words of Eternal
Life. We must stand firm in our places
and trust Him for sustaining grace as
well as preserving mercies. The chances
are against the return of many of these
young soldiers, when battles are going
on, day and night. Ask God TO give you
a quiet mind-that you may do your
duty to the living.

ligious is a letter purporting to have
been written By uor Savior. That letter
has caused people to tell positive un-
truths, as we'll as be superstitious. The
story is that Jesus hid it under stone
and a little child found it. 1t was to
be published. In those days publish
meant telling a thing. little child is
used as the scape-goat this time. 1t was
found and was hidden in one family a
Thousand years. Then the family came
u this country and misfortune still
pursued them. They finally had no
representation. but a neighbor got the
letter and had it published, hoping to
avert misfortune. She was thinking only
of her own family for each subscriber
to the paper was then obligated to the
same task. / know, for / got about a
bushel of the letters and declined to fill
the Sunny South with them. If any
special misfortune befels me about that
time 1 was too dull to know it. -.-
Now use your common sense about
this as well as that other prayer.
Our Savior expressly forbade any one
putting mis- light under a bushel. Do
you imagine that ne would hide such a
letter under a stone? Where were His
disciples? Writing in those days was
not the promiscuous accomplishment it
now is. There was no paper, and the
skins Of sheep and goats had to be
specially prepared. In Egypt the inner
bark of a certain tree and thing were
used. See the absurdity of imagining
Jesus hiding letter under stone. He
was not here for that sort of thing.
The subject matter of the letter is
mighty poor imitation Of Bible lam
guage. Saturday is a word that was in
comparable in our language, not from
The Hebrews Good Friday was instituted
centuries after but before the thousand
years that it sclaimed that this fraud
was found. See? 1t is a Catholic in
stitution, and incorporated in the Episco-
pal church when it protested against
Rome.
The Lords supper was instituted
long before this letter was given to the
public and there can be no comparison
between our Savior's own words as
translated into the English language in
King James version of the Bible and
the garbled stuff in the letter. There's
where l would remind you that it is ex-
pressly said that if you add a jot Of
little to the Bible your punishment is
certain and when one had the nerve to
write letter, and sign Jesus name to
it, that reached the limit of forgery. All
of the Bible is for our edihcation, and
hope that you are not neglecttng 1T. But
] want you to turn to the first epistle
of John and read every chapter, it is
short, then read again and again the
second chapter and on your knees ask
God to give you the sort of heart that
can keep that which is committed unto
you. in such a way that you may be a
light unto those who stumble, and not
let SUPERSTITION rule you.
Faithfully yours,

There is no form OF roughage which
the farmer can provide so economical
or acceptable TO his live stock as siiage.
An abundance OF it simply means thar
there will be the equivalent supply for
winter feeding OF the best known sub
stitute for grass. II was long since
demonstrated that in the maintenance
OF dairy cows. beef cattle and sheep,
a larger TOW OF milk and more rapid
gains could be obtained through prop
eE combination OF silage with various
concentrates than through the use or
any other form OF rOughage. These
things being true, il would naturally
seem that every farmer who is handling
live stock would have provided for an
abundant supply OF silage TO be fed
during the winter Of 191S-1s1s. Unfor-
tunately, many people do not realize
the importance or desirsbihty OF this
food in the dietary of our farm ami
mails, hence We have a long way TO so
in the direction Of encouraging the use
Of silage in educating our people TO an
understanding OF how to make and pre-
serve IL to the best advantage. There
are however. hundreds OF silos now IN

the number is rapidly increasing. There
is plenty OF food already available 10

and the refuse from plants where corn
is canned, may all be used for this pur-

not difficult TO produce q sufficient guam

is also evident that a wide range OF
crops are adapted for this purpose. The
