BAL BATK'-7B BAKER

/ NITIZENS of Baker were
W. given n hot jolt in their To-
cal papers last week for.
their failure to appropriate
$1,000 for !ho,r Fourth of July
celebration. A communication
trcm one of the live wires of
the community pointed with
scorn to his city's showing when
I'cndleton, with spare time the
on Y thing short, raised $4,000
for the two days celebration
here. The lethargy of the
eastern town was contrasted
with the willing spirit which
characterizes everything PEN
dleton undertakes.
What Baker wishes to do is
of course Bakers own business.
Baker is fine town and no one
will suspect it of lack of loyalty
if it does not observe the fourth
but gee it will be long time
before another such chance
rolls around. Have they stop
ped to think that this will be
the first fourth of July since
we made a Hollander out of
Wilhelm Hohenzollern?
To Captain John Alcock and
to Lieutenant Arthur w. Brown
belongs credit for having vic
toriously accomplished t h
greatest sporting feat in the
history of the world. They
flew unaided across the Allan
tic ocean. 1t was a greater
performance than that of the /
NC-4 because our seaplane /
made the flight by jumps.
Captain Alcock and his naviga-
tor showed they are hold men
and the world will give them
credit for a mastery deed.

sive in behalf of the
League of Nations we are going
to hear some senators shout
"kameradl"
: The president is coming
home with the facts. The sena-
tors have been giving us kid
talk. They have dealt in innu-
endo and suspicion and silly
demagogy. Wilson will be
armed with the truth and the
knowledge that he is fighting
for the cause of human pro-
gress against the forces of in
norance, prejudice and evil.
Don't go away for you may

oVERHAULINC THE OLD CAR.

ONG about this time Of the year your face bursts forth
Il into glad SMILE you haul lo Of dusty tools out of
dark corner Of the cellar and despite your good wife

You whistle you lay the tools out in nice neat row.
You hum little song as you take of the hood unravel

CALL you unmesh the transmission and do lot Of queer
things to piston rings and cylinder heads.
About noon you have the pretty we'll scattered over
the interior landscape Of your garage. You are still smiling
but rather thoughtful you hustle through the meal
like wet goods salesman scurryng through dry town
You crack lot Of jokes and you kilfuIy cvadc your
wifes worried eyes,
During the afternoon you successfully smear yourself
with grease from head foot accidentally insert guam

again with an unaccountable feeling Of irritation About
o'clock you finally get it fixed up-he only trouble beng
that you have or 20 supeuous parts hanging around
and the fool thing absolutely refuses to run.
The next day, you steadfasty continue avoiding your
wifes eyes, you send the car 10 repair month
later you casually inform your wife that his bill is $79.

What do you mean-glad3" you ask.
Oh she says Il felt sure your annual job Of over
