1T DOES NOT PAY

~ WO boys from the Wala
VI Walla country tried the
process of getting rich
by stealing an auto. One of
them was killed by an officer in
the course of their arrest, the
other boy is serving a peniten-
tiary sentence that may extend
to Is years.
The boy who lost his life lost
his entire worldly capital,
which under the laws of Ore
gon is rated as worth $500.
The other man faces the neces-
sity of working many years at
distasteful labor without any
pay therefor.
How did those young men
acquire a notion that stealing
is a profitable line of activity?
1t is the poorest paid line OF
business there is and the most
hazardous. Testimonials to
this effect may be secured
from nearly any prison and
they should be consulted be-
fore any boy embarks on the
profession of thievery.

THE FUNNY BONE

Jack barrymore, the actor, was in
a group who were cracking conun-
drums, when he asked:
Nov, you fellows seem very clever
at such things, so tell me what is the
difference between a mosqutto' and
an elephant
The difference" asked ne.
Yes answered Barrymore.
They all gave up. when the actor,
walking away. said:

The lawyer was sitting at his desk

brief. So intent was he on his WORK
hat ne did not hear the door as ii
was pushed gently open, nor see the
curly head that was thrust into his

was streaked with tears and told
too plainly that feelings had been
hurt.

A gentleman given TO habits Of ex'
travhgance found himself in the
bankruptcy court and was severely
questioned by the presiding official.
AT what precise date did you firs'
find yourself in trouble?" asked the
judge.
With an air of the utmost perplex'
ity the gentleman gazed around the
court until his wandering eyes fel
upon the anxious cOuntenance of hi:

of his hand in their direction he said
pleasantly:
"Oh, you must mean these gentle
men. 1 can't say Ave had any my

And. on thinking the matter over

ever get. The state will meet
half the expense and probably
very much more than half if
we will do the rest. 1t is a
proposition the county cannot
in good judgment pass up if
there is any way whereby the
situation may be saved.
1t is needless to criticise Mr..
Benson for insisting on the
river route to Echo. All know
that the river route is prefer
able to the hill route. The
highway commission is not to
be blamed for insisting that
this road, which is to be part of
a permanent transcontinental
highway, should be located
where it belongs.
The question now is how can
Umatilla county save itself.
Are we going to enter the re.
construction era with no chance
of obtaining any of the Won
derful road work that is going
to be carried out through state
and federal help? Are we go
ing to miss perhaps a million
dollars worth of state aid or
our various roads during the
next few years because oul
own hands are tied?
1t is time for people to dc
some thinking.

Ill GLORY FLIES
HIGH IN LONDON,
MILLIONS
ON ARMISTICE DAY

LONDON, Dec. 20.-(By Mail.)-
If there is not a friendly feeling tow
ard the United States i'm England the
flags of London speak untruthfully.
There are millions of flags, Where all
of them came from is "A mystery. They
simply appeared from everywhere and
nowhere, like "a harrage of color on
the day when the armistics was sign
ed. No coronation or royal jubilee has
seen such a marvel of cloth.
Hardly a house, however small and
humble, in the whole more than 20
mile radius of the largest city in the
world was without its decorations
And the Stars and Stripes We're more
conspicuous Than any flag except the
union jack.
Wherever two flags hung together
the American emblem was one OF
them. The French flag ranked next,
but only a respectable third. Walk
ing through the streets the American
cOIors saluted the eye everywhere. Big
ones large enough to hide an ordinary
house. hung in front of hotels, de-
partment stores and factories. Very
many people of the hundreds of thou
sands who tied flags to their hats and
coats and umbrellas, eve to theii
dogs, sported the Stars and Stripes
They were particularly popular with
the girls. but workmen, Did ladies and
British soldiers wore them. This
seems to spell appreciation.

WEATHER

DUE TO PEACE

NEW YORK. Jan. LIS the mild
wether due to peace in Europe.
The mildness of the fall and early
winter in 1918 in America and Europe
is remarkable.
Good weather up to the November
II armistice contributed largely to ally
victory.
Previous war years were notable Tor
bad weather in all seasons Summers
were hot, rainy. Falls, rainy. cold.
muddy. Sping late, chilly. wet. Armies
splashed its seas of mud. Fail always
meant practical cessation of militars
operations. Not until h autumn OF
1918 did this situation change.
During the war the common theory
was tina artillery caused bad weather,
Scientists seoffed.
Now the theory that at good weather
il due to the end of fighting is wide,
spread.
Goosebope prophets expect a mild
open winter, easy on the Goa bin and
sn~ow-shovel.
The weather is on the side Of the
allies said, Foster War i'll July. 1918,

Some think weather is on the side
OF the lean purse now.

1T IS TIME TO WAKE UP

n T is no exaggeration to say
that the attitude of Chair
man Benson of the high
way commission has produced
the most critical situation Una
tilla county has ever faced with
reference to road work.
At a time when the state is
ready to spend enormous sums
for road work and Umatilla
county should be able to pro-
fit greatly by such aid we face
a possibility of losing out
through being unable to meet
our part of the expense.
The situation means that we
are likely to miss the best
chance for road construction
the country ever had or will

Yates. caused him to travel with all
haste from his home in Erie, Pa.

Yates claimed to have discovered a
great conspiracy among the big

dent Wilson for reelection Ac-
cording to his statement, scandal
GUS moving pictures were to be cx-

possible for Mr.. Wilson to be re-
