MORE THAN MILLION
FOR COUNTY'S SHARE
IN COMING BIG LOAN

Basing their estimates on the an
nouncement this morning that the
amount OF the third Liberty loan will
be but three billion dollars the amount
to be required from Umatilla county
should be about million and a quar-
ter, Pendleton men figure.
Chairman w. l. Thompson has asked
Portland to wire Immediately the exact
amount to be asked OF this county,
but had not received reply this after
noon. The amount mentioned above Is
only guess On these figures, how
ever, Pendleton would be required to
subscribe about 100000. the remainder
being distributed over the county In
proportion to the bank deposits.
II the amount is no larger than this,
1t win not equal the drain on this
community by the income tax pay
mems, which ran considerably over a
million dollars.
Pendleton bankers received with
much pleasure the news that the loan
was only half the size anticipated. for
the reason that the demands at this
season of the year and a little later
for handling the crops Of the section
will be heavy and the smaller the
amour taken by the loan at this time,
the easier win be the financial situa-
tion during the summer and early fan.
Meantime, inquiries are being re-
ceived all the time by the Pendleton
banks. indicating that the subscriptions
will come in rapidly as soon as the
books are formally opened No forms

that the loan would not be less
than five billion. The lower
amount means that UmatilIa

This brought the cost to this
farmer for the use of $500 for one
year and nine months 1913. This Is
one of the burdens that Federal Land
Bank Is daily lifting from the should
ers OF the farmers. Do you want to
help In the work? We can recite
hundreds OF like cases.
For the helpless man In the con-
dition mentioned, and for the farm
er everywhere in the far-flung home
steads, who endeavored to carve a
home In the wilderness with little to
begin with, even though some be
loosely tied to their farms, we have
Infinite sympathy and q desire to
help, but we can loan money only on
the basis OF acceptable security, and
on the assumption that the amortiza-
ton payments will be met.
THE real friends OF the farmers at
this time should earnestly represent
to them that the ultimate success of
this system rests largely on the man
ner In which they will use 1t; that
they can secure a continuance of low
interest rates and easy payments only
by meeting the payments provided
for as they come due, and that con-
udence and credit are based on
promptness, accuracy, fair dealing
and reasonable business attention to
necessary duties.
1t Is matter of pride and salts
faction to realize that even In these
lean years Of short crops In places
and no crops at all In other places,
the farmers generally have appreci-
ated their responsibility and have in
variably, with few exceptions, taken
pride and satisfaction In meeting
their amortization payments to the
Federal Land Bank. Those who will
not do so and can will be forced to
do SO. The Federal Land Bank, used
rightly, will afford the farmers of
the Northwest means to become fin
ancially Independent so that those
men who in the past gave all their
profits to meet interest and taxes
may be enabled to secure for them
selves and for their families a sub
stantial portion of the fruits of their
own labor"

In Defense of Whole Wheat.

Dr. Harvey ". Wiley takes up the
cUdgels in behalf of whole-wheat prod
ucts in the current Good House keeping
He charges systematic effort is being
made to prejudice the public against
Il. The doctor writes:
u have received many letters and
printed extracts from official addresses
cautioning the people of this country
against eating whole wheat products
This is a matter of such tremendous
Importance that every effort possible
should be made to inform the people
Of hmerica-and the President-of the
facts in the ease. These are the facts:
IN overwhelming majority OF scientific
dietitians and psychologists believe
that whole wheat flour and its products
are far more wholesome than similar
products made from white flour England
and France have both required that
the milling of white flour should be
stopped and that at least 81 per cent
of the wheat berry be included in the
product. Germany has for some time
required the entire berry TO be in
cludcd in the milling of wheat flour
In our own country we still encourage
the milling OF -four which contains mo-
much in excess Of 20 per cent Of th'
wheat berry. The wasting Of single

the only concession which has beer

that actually less than 1876 pounds o
flour are secured from the diminishe
quantity OF wheat. Millera are ais
permitted to moisten their wheat whic

They Tried to soothe the Horse.

and not only did they have some. but
their horses were given some apples,
too, and once more they bowed.
- have never seen such polite
horses said Nelly.
81 never have, either said Ned
''They thanked the farmer and drove
off. But before they had really start
ed the farmers two horses bowed
once more, and the horses belonging
to Ned and Nelly did the same.
"'What q funny time we have had
said Ned.
"'Yes,' said Nelly, and it doesn't
sound true. But those horses all GER
tainly bowed politely at the right time.
They bowed how-do-you-do, thank
you for the apples, and good-by
"And this really was true" said
Daddy. But to continue with the
rest of their drive. On their way
home one of the horses got very much
frightened, and in some way escaped
from his harness and ran Off. But as
he got loose from the harness the
sleigh upset. for he had pulled against
the other horse and had landed the
children in a ditch.
"For such polite horse it was a
dreadful thing to do, but he had sud
denly noticed a sawmill and heard the
noise and though he had heard it many
| times before, it had been some weeks
! since the last time and for some rea.
son he was thoroughly frightened
THE children picked themselves up.
| They were not really hurt. And they
tried to soothe the horse which had
been left behind, for now he was afraid
of the sudden and startling way things
had happened
But he comforted the children, and
the children comforted him. You'll
have TO take us back alone said Nelly
yes said Ned. I'll try TO fix the
harness and the Sleigh
But just at that moment the horse
came running back, with tho daddy OF
Ned and Nelly behind him in anothe,
sleigh. What has happened? asked
their Daddy, and at once. TO his relief
he saw that they had not been really
hurt at all.
The faithful old Prince said Their
Daddy, knew that something wa:
wrong, and wouldn't wait until
} brought him TO just this road which ht
wanted TO come
"The children explained to theil
Daddy what had happened. and they
all decided that though Prince had be
come frightened, he would be NOR,
! careful the next time. And he haC
certainly tried to make up for il b!
, coming right back for them With thei

; the conclusion that not only had the.

friends. but good, faithful and devoted
ones"
