bers OF one branch OF the building

out the department regarding the ad-
Visibility OF agreeing not 10 increase
the price OF their commodities. Suct
agreement the building material men
thought might be contrary TO the
sherman antitrust law and they based
this idea on the alleged adverse ruling
of Attorney General Palmer to the
activities OF the industrial board OF

According 10 Mr.. Ames, no agree
ment has been reached nor has the
question Of the agreement been given
consideration by the department but
he admitted the department had re-

esls by asking them If they would
agree 10 prices which would be de,cr'
mined by a fair price board.

ference held last week between The at

be another six million, or more,
available, if all signs prove
true. There is much federal
money available now and there
is going to be more, under the
reconstruction policy.
Umatilla county is Fortunate
ly situated in having a heavy
mileage recognized as part of
the state highway system. This
mileage includes the road from
the Washington state line,
through Freewater, Milton,
Weston and other towns via
Pendleton and Umatilla and
the Morrow county line west
of Umatilla; the road from
Meacham to Pendleton. the
road to Heppner via Pilot Rock.
If these main travelled roads
can all be improved through
state aid the hard part of our
road problem will be solved.
We will have permanently i'm
proved the highways over
which rs per cent of our travel
passes. County funds may
then be concentrated on less
J used roads with the result we
will have a net work of good
roads all over the county.
We cannot afford to pass up
the great opportunities we have
for state aid. But we cannot
get this aid unless we meet
our portion of the expense.
How is it to be done?

TOO EARLY FOR POLITICS

T HERE are conditions that
VI make it futile to devote
much attention to 1920
presidential politics at this
time. Nearly two years will
elapse before the next election.
1t is a year and half yet be-
fore the rival candidates are to
be nominated.
Much is going to happen
within that time. The world
will agree upon peace and con-
ditions that are to follow
peace. Reconstruction issues
fof the most vital character are
to be faced. The attitude of
our rival political parties with
reference to these subjects will
in all probability form the is
sues for the campaign of 1920.
Therefore the fight is not
yet drawn and no man can yet
tell who should or who can be
nominated by either party. A
man who might seem avail
able now may, by the logic of
events be hopelessly shelved 18
months hence.
1t is fortunate for the coun-
try that politics is in a chaotic
state at present. The things to
be settled within the coming
year are of more Importance to
the country than the 1920 cleo
tion. These subjects should be
decided in accord with the facts
as we find them and in a broad
spirit of Americanism-not in a
spirit of partisanship.
Good citizenship calls for
doing the urgent work we have
at hand, with ali the coopera-
ton and sanity possible, and
for letting politics wait.

AN INExCUsABLE SLIGHT

IA ENDLETON has just
~ right to complain at the
statement sent out from
state liberty loan headquarters
and released for publication
Saturday. The statement car
ries a list of how the counties
met their duties under the
fourth liberty loan and in adj
dition five cities of the state
are listed. Pendleton was
omitted from this list despite
the fact it had the heaviest
quota of any city in the state,
outside of Portland, and over
subscribed it's quota. As the
list was made up very deliber-
ately long after the records
were in the action seems mex
cusable.
Pendleton subscribed over
million to the fourth loan and
exceeded the records of some
towns with double our popu-
lation and heavier bank de-
posits. Why should we be left
in the cold when honors are be-
ing passed around?

WRAPPING ADDS 10 THE GIFT
Home Art Specialist Suggests Use Of
White Ribbon and Tissue Paper
With Bits of Foliage.

The wrapping of Christmas gift is
an expression of the eiver as much as
the gift itself, asserts Miss Araminta
Holman, instructor in home art in
the Kansas State Agricultural col.
lege.
"A pretty gift will lose much Of Its
charm If 1t Is wrapped carelessly,"
said Miss Holman. "As much care
should be taken in the wrapping as in
the selection of the gift.
The wrappings should be dainty
and inconspicuous, and in harmony
with the gift and the sentiment that
the giyer wishes to accompany the
gift. White tissue paper tied with
white ribbon with a bit Of foliage for
color, makes prettier and heater
wrapping than colOred paper and col
Ored ribbon. If the gift is to be
sent through the mail, the outside
wrappings must necessarily be of
strong paper. but If tied neatly and
securely with tinsel Christmas cord,
the package will make an attractive
appearance, and at the same time will
protect the gift"
Personal touches, such as original
sketches on the gift card or spray of
foliage from the region of the giver's
home convey a deep sentiment and
thoughtfulness on the part of the
giver. according to Miss Holman.
While holly and mistletoe are the en-
hlematic Christmas folio0o n cpray of
hemlock, bittersweet, pepper bough,
or any pretty native foliage may be
used.

paper syndicats.J
They had called him Eleventh Hour
Pete" at home long before he had ever
gone into training camps all through
his leisurely boyhood days and later
through his teens when he helped his
father at the old sawmill on the side
of Rocky Knob.
"Randy's purity slow going" old Hal
sey would say, watching his over
grown, lanky son toss slabs out the
side door to the big pile on the sloping
hillside. But he's as steady as the
river. 1t goes down and il amt good
for nothin' half the year, but when it
does start of 1t makes up for lost
time"
The other boys at school had nick
named him Eleventh Hour Pete" as
soon as they discovered his propensity
for landing right at the last minute.
Just before the bell rang at nine,
Randy's bare feet would get over the
doorsill of the entry. Just a minute
before the teacher was ready to mark
him down failure. he would spell the
word right, and as Elva laughingly
said, Just when q girl thought he
didn't have nerve enough to kiss a rag
baby, he'd grab you around the neck
and kiss you rougher than any of the
other boys" And Elva was somewhat
Of judge when it came to methods,
even at twelve.
Reckon you'll marry Elviry Wilson
some day, won't you. Randy?" his
mother would ask tentatively, and
Randy'd look self-conscious and dodge
the direct issue with a smile. But all
the years at home Elva had led his
fancy by golden cord. Just the sight
OF her dancing ahead along the coun-
try road was enough. Her hair was
red, not bright carroty red, but shiny
sort of chestnut. and it hung in long,
thin, hOme-tended curls below her
waist. Then her eyes were hazel, cats
eyes, the other girls called them, and
there was provocative lift to her up
per lip that started even Randy's slow
blood to moving faster.
Yet he enlisted without asking her
to marry him, and went overseas with
everybody ar the Knob prophesying
Eiya would marry somebody else while
he was gone, and asking why on
earth he hadn't taken her, when she
was willing.
"of course I'd marry Randy" she
said fatty and proudly. when they
teased her about him. "Why not I?
He's the only fellow on the mountain
with any good looks or nerve"
Didn't have nerve enough to ask
you, just the same" Tuck Phillips
chuckled.
He had nerve enough not to,
didn't he? Randy isn't the sort to
marry girl so as to give her an
allotment and then run the chance
OF leaving her widow" Elva's big
eyes were bright with anger. "And,
say, Tuck, just because you're over

ROAST GOOSE FOR CHRISTMAS
How to Prepare Fowl Which for Hun.
dreds Of Years Has Been conven-
tional Holiday Dinner Dish.

For hundreds of years goose has
been an important conventional Christ
mas dinner dish. Select a young, ten
der goose, for It's palatability greatly
depends on this, one weighing about
eight or ten pounds, says an expert
enced h0usekeeper.
For the dressing take four cupfuls
Of hot mashed potatoes, two and one.
half tablespoonfuls of finely chopped
onions, one cupful of English walnut
meats chopped moderately fine; one
and one-half teaspoonfulS of salt, one
half cupful Of cream, two tablespoon
fuls Of butter and the yolks Of four
eggs and a teaspoonful of sage.
Stuff the body with the dressing and
sew up the openings. Bring the legs
and wings close to the body and tie
with a white string, which must be
removed just before serving.
Put the goose in the dripping pan
with two cupfuls of boiling water and
roast for nearly two hours, according
to size Of fowl. basting often and free
ly. Remove the goose to a hot platter,
pour off the oil in the pan and make a
gravy with -four that has been Drowned.
Always serve apple sauce with roast
goose.
Select juicy. tart apples and pare,
slice and stew with just enough water
to keep from burning. When done, rub
them through a sieve and add sugar to
taste.
