PLAN TO BUY THE OLD
PERSHING HOMESTEAD

Greensburg, Pa.-Tom Dalton, OF
youngstown borough, intends to fur
ther a movement to have the old
Frederick Pershing homestead, where
the pioneer settled near Youngs-
town, purchased by the nation, State,
county or by funds raised through
private subscriptions, and have 1t set
apart as park. The purpose in such
a purchase would be to place in West
moreland county a memorial to the
founder of the Pershing family in this
country.
Frederick Pershing, the pioneer OF
the Pershing family In this country,
Of which the American general is a
lineal descendent Of the fourth gener-
alton. settled on a big "tomahawk
claim" of land near youngstown In
1873, and the prophecy made by the
pioneers father in Alsace-Lorraine
in 1749 to the lad to take the fam
ily's few gold pieces, make his way
TO the coast In France and then sail
to the American colonies, where with
Gods blessing in due time, he or his
seed. would return at the head OF an
American army and free the people
of his native country from being con-
stantly at war with the Huns. This
prophecy has been fulfilled and the
Huns we're soundly trounced BY Gen.
eral Pershing and the American
oughboys.-Boston Record.

Stewart Says Burgess Is
Best Man For Board

In the estimation of Representa-
tive James S. Stewart, recently OF
Fossil and now of Corvallis, the nam
ing OF ]. n. Burgess, Of Pendleton,
as the successor Of W. L. Thompson
on the State Highway Commission, is
a ten-strike for the state OF Oregon
and the cause of good roads, and
shows splendid Judgment on the part
Of Governor 0lcott.
Burgess is one of the very strong
est men in the state-a substantial
citizen, breeder of fine sheep, and
frstclass all round business man who
enjoys the respect and confidence of
the people of Umatilla county, wohm
he has been representing ably in the
state Senate" says Mr.. Stewart.
Burgess has broad ideas, yet is
sound as a dollar, absolutely honor
able and beyond reproach in any d.
rection. He has the advantage of
having been associated with Mr..
Thompson many years, and from
him will get material assistance until
such time as he has gained a COM
prehensive grasp Of the situation
and then he won't need any help
from anybody"
Coming from Mr.. Stewart, who
himself is recognized as one Of the
ablest men Eastern Oregon has pro-
duced in recent years, this endorse
ment is more than casual and worth
while. Jim" isn't the kind that
hands around bouquets just for the
fun of it, but he has known Burgess
from the time of youth, and recalls
with twinkling eyes the fights they
used to have while playing baseball
on opposing teams. "You can bank
on Burgess" said Stewart, "just
take my word for it. )"
Mr.. Stewart was himself men
toned favorably for this position and
was strongly urged to make a fight
for tin fact others urged this mat.
ter upon the Governor, and it Is be-
lieved that the Governor regarded
the suggestion with favor, but Mr.
Stewards determination to make the
Valley his future home precluded the
possibility OF naming him on the
Commission at this time, and the Law
says Eastern oregon must have
representative on the Commission

But None Came.

Late the other night on street car
a soldier was going home for the first
time. He was happy and proud. And
his reason for being proud. there was
a wound stripe on his right arm.
One man said to him.: Where
we're you wounded?" The soldier
replied:
81 was hit in the back with piece
OF she'll" The man gave short
laugh and said: "a funny place to
get hit; which way were you goinR?"
1t is needless to say that the sol
dier hit the man and here is what the
soldier said: IF there are any more
of you fellows thinks that Yank
ever ran, can change your mind for
you."-Indianapolis News.

Real Soldiers.

Two Tommies. dishevelled torn
with wounds, and altogether untidy,
were on leave in London. As they
stood in Trafalgar Square there ap-
preached a detachment OF the Royal
Life Guards in silver trappings, wav-

boots shining like mirrors, and white
leather gauntlets.
The Tommies looked on in silence
for a moment and then one nudged
his mate.

awed voice, "Them's soiers!"-New

Record Load of Cotton.

Rivalry between cotton growers of the Salt River valley as to who could haul the largest load to the gin result ed in the weighing in Wednesday morning at the Mesa plant of the Southwest Cotton company of a load topping the scales at 15,91S pounds gross weight. Mesa officials of the company contend that this betters by more than ton any previous load and establishes a new record for the val ley.
 The cotton was produced by G. R. Tifal on his ranch near Chandler and an eight mule team was needed to transport the wagon and it's contents to the Mesa gin. So heavy was the single load that it had to be divided and weighted in two separate lots. It is estimated that seven and a half bales were included in the load. The Southwest company paid for the lot a total of s2,s30.s0.
 Various growers on both the north and south sides have from time to time endeavored to establish new record with an extra heavy load of cotton on one wagon and officials at the gin stated yesterday that Henry Scott of Phoenix has held the record for several months past His total, delivered to the Phoenix gin. was 13,- 0s0 pounds.
