Unhuh Well then, what famous gen
era1 was it who lost two legs in battle
and still had one good leg left?
Well no, we are not certain at this
moment that it was his good right
leg that was left but it seems to be
fact that he had a right good leg
left because it was able to ride off the
battle field with him. And so, in that
respect, it was a left leg-the only
leg he had left because the two he
had left before. But what's the use :?
There is no end to this.

Some folks (most of US, in fact)
make mistakes. Some of these mis-
takes we discover for ourselves but
occasionally our good friends beat US
to them. The condensed history of
Trego county which appeared in The
World two weeks ago contained what
appeared to be an error, made so only
by the lapse of time. The writer dis
covered the Inconsistency but not in
time to correct it and he has been re-
minded of the matter several times
since That sketch was originally
written five years ago and said that
the U. S. land office was once located
in the building occupied by the Farm
ers' Store, which was true at that
time But the Farmers now occupies
a different building and The Tregon-
ian is now housed in the original land
Office building. The building itself has
suffered many changes in the 40
years of its history and the passing
of so short space as five years made
necessary several changes in the
story to bring it down to date and it
is evident that at least one change
was not made which should have been
made when the article was revised
But then, who's a-offering an ex-
cuse or apology for one little mistake

years, off and on, digging up the

MOST CONSERVATIVE OF ALL

The farmers are the most useful and
the most conservative Of all our citi-
zens. Their labor supplies us with food
and clothing and to them we turn when
the riots and bloodshed of our cities
render the future of the republic gloomy
and uncertain. From the bitterness of
class antagonism: from the greed OF
the rich who Cypress the poor and from
the desperation of the poor who would
despoil the rich, we turn to the rural
homesteads Of this land and there we
find a rugged independence tempered
with a reverence for the law which con-
stitutes the nations best and wisest
safeguard. Around those humble fire.

and greed. the love Of country is above
the love of self and second only to the
fear of God. A republic which prac-
tees injustice against homes like these,
which multiplieS their burdens and
drives their impoverished and discon.
