No Home Grown
Peaches This Year,

There are no homegrown peaches
this year and local people must de-
pend on California and Idaho peach
es, say Pendleton grocers. California
has short crop and Idaho has half a
crop. which means that prices will be
high. A carload of Elbertas sold here
recently for $1.s0 but it is expected
that the peaches which come by ex-
press will be $500

WIND AND SURF KEEP
EXPLORER FROM START


NOME, Alaska, Aug. ia, P.)-
Wind and surf prevented Capt. Road
| Amundsen from getting away Sunday
on his trip to the North. At a public
reception in his honor Saturday nigif,
Captain Amundsen said that his recent
| trip through the Northeast passage
was not a pre-ar-anged affir but that
| he was for ced 10 take that route after
| finding unfavorable ice conditions
north of the New Siberian islands
which forced him to go hundreds of
miles out of his course. After blast
ing his way out of ice many times he
finally made the Northwest Passage sue

Captain Amundsen says he is just
beginning his real voyage when leav-
ing Nome for the drift with the ice.
He states that his course fillslay west
of Wrankell Island and toward the
Siberian Islands and endeavor to keep
in open water as long as possible until
a favorable place for striking direct

Jeanette sank, presents itself. His
object in doing this he says will be to

LOVE o. MIKE TRAGEDY
ENDS IN HIS DEATH
Little Wait, Deserted in New York,
Claimed By a Woman and Then
Restored to His Own Mother,
Dies of Pneumonia.

New York. Feb. 2l.-Death has rllng
down the curtain in the drama of
Love O. Mike" babe whose mother
abandoned him and then fought sue
cessfully in the courts for his return
after another woman had claimed him
as her kidnapped son.
The heart of New York was touched
last December when tiny mite OF hui
manitv was left in the Grand Central
terminal with note pinned to his
clothing, saving; For the love OF Mike,
take this kid The note also set forth
that the mother was too poor to buy
milk for the child. The babe was taken
to a hospital and christened Love o.
Mike"
A few days later a distracted WON
an, Mrs. August Wentz, whose seven
weeks old baby had been kidnapped,
claimed the child was her own. Her
husband also identified him. Mean
while, mother love asserted itself and
the baby's mother, Mrs. Lena Lisa, re-
claimed her child.
The Vents were loath to return the
baby, court action followed, and Solo
mon like Justice awarded the laughing,
red haired youngster to Mrs. Lisa.

Near the Turn of Prices.

During the past 10 days there has
been noticeable change in all mar
kets, and many are predicting that we
are near the turn. Never before was it
so necessary to exercise caution in trad
ing, and in not few prominent quar-
ters the lid has been fastened down
and period Of near ''watchful waiting
il al hand, with the trade splendidly
prepared to stand any reasonable adj
iustment
The silk industry is the first to get
its setback due to overpricing and prof
iteering in raw materiTl. The price Of
silk has reached the prohibitive stage
as goods beyond the pocketbook OF even
the rich and the get-rich-quick crowd
are already under cover after their
spending orgy. The Italian silk that
has come in since trade opened has been
made to sell rather than to wear in
many cases, and even that line of goods
has not been popular.
The same thing will happen TO prod
nets of cotton and wool as has hap
pened to silk, as there is profiteering in
both raw products and finished cloth
has reached a stage where the middle
class consumer cannot afford to buy
The time il not far distant when re-
tailers Of cottons and woolens will find
stocks accumulating rather than NOV
inp. and in textiles, then the turn will
be called and some Of the fat profits OF
the recent past will be wiped out, to
the good OF all concerned.-Fibre and

BEING COLLECTED
Accused Germans Failing
to Appear Will Be
Arrested

Berlin, Feb. 2l-Preliminary proceed
ings in a number of cases of Germans
accused of violations of the laws of
war have already begun, and progress
is being made in the collection OF docu-
mentary material, DIR. Schiller, minis
ter of Justice, told the representative
of the Zvoelf Uhr- Blatt yesterday. The
minister said that accused persons
would be tried at Leipsig by court
consisting of the customary seven
judges.
German witnesses will be heard in
accordance with the prescriptions of
criminal trial regulations, and wit
nesses will be examined abroad II they
do not care to come to Germany II
was indicated a German examining
magistrate would go to other countries
to be present at the taking Of evidence.
Accused persons who do not respond
to the summons to appear before the i'm
perial court will have to be arrested,
and German authorities will i'll any
case do everything to expedite pro-
ceedings as far as possible. On the prin-
ciple that each accused would neces-
sarily have to be tried individually, DR..
Schiller energeticslly emphasized the
fact the government regarded it IAN
affair of honor to punish those guilty"
The government, however, was not
obeying the entente's will in carrying
out this trial, he asserted, but was
fulfilling the requirements of any well
ordered state and its own feeling of

~. GAINS
FOOTHOLD WHEN
RESISTANCE is LOW

The extent and virulence of the in.
fluenza epidemic is due to lowered re-
sistance. Overwork, lack OF nourish-
ing food, too little exercise in the
open air and worry over the problem
Of increasing living costs all contribute
to the low ebb of physical strength.
Rich. well.oxidized blood is the body
best defense against influenza or any

this as a warning of lowered vitailty.

she was practically an invalid. 1t was
then that she learned of the remedy
which she now recommends to others.

SOCIETY THRF ATENED
By Forces Which Repudiate the Chris
tian Faith.

London, Feb. 2l.--Bishop Weldon,
dean of Durham, declared in an inter
view that society is threatened by
forces which repudiste the Christian
faith" The bishop has just returned
from a conference on Christian reunion
at Oxford, which was attended by both
conformist and non-conformist minis
ters. There was a general agreement,
he stated, as to the necessity OF draw
ing churches together.
"The world is rocking under mems
feet" he said Society is threatened
by forces which repudiate the Christian
faith and the Christian moral code.
The church runs grave risk OF losing
her influence upon national life, the
decadence of regular churchgoing has
long been cause of anxiety. The sta
tistics of divorce are alarming, and 1t
NAV be necessary to rebuild human
morals from the foundation.
Meanwhile the church is disregarded
because she is divided. II is too much
10 expect that the world will listen to
her when she speaks with many dis
cordant voices. Unity alone will be the
secret of her power. The same need
which has driven political parties TO
coalition drives reformed churches to
federation. The opportunity has come
with the necessity. II is now or never.
IL ecclesiastical craftsmanship dose not
avail itself Of the spirit excited by war,
the chance of Christian reunion of
Christian inter-communion will be lost
and may not recur in the life Of the
living people"

BABIES ADD EXEMPTION
To Income Tax, Deaths Also Change
the Tax.


The changes wrought during 1919 by
births, deaths and marriages in many
families materially affect the liability
OF members for income tax. Millions
of babies have been added to the fam
ily circles, each of whom brings an
added exemption of 5000 on the par
ents' income tax return.
On the other hand, several millions
of boys and girls became self-support-
ing and they form q new crop of in
tcome tax payers. Also, the grim reap
er brought its many sorrows and re-
moved many dependents and many OF
the breadwinners themselves.
Accordingly, it is pointed out by in
ternal revenue officials, there are mill
lions of persons who must this year
consider their income tax liability from
a new angle. For their new status as
of Dec. 81, 1919, governs for the full
year.
Widows and widowers who lost their
mates during 1919 are especially affect
ed. They must remember that, unless
married again before Dec. 81. they are
single in the eyes of the income tax
law. Similarly, those who were di-
vorced or otherwise separated from
their wives or husbands must consider
themselves as single persons.
But a widow is not required to show
on her personal return the income OF
her husband up to the date of his
death; and the same is true in the case
of widower who suffered the loss of
L &. EnY
of deceased persons must be considered
separately with respect to the require,
ment to file a return for the deceased
by the executor or administrator. And
the deceased is entitled to exemption
for the full year based upon his status
at date of death.
The bride and groom of 1919 must
figure up the income of each for the
full year and consider it jointly with
respect to income tax requirements,
even though they may not have been
acquainted during part of the year.
Their status on Dec. 81 joins them for
o full year.
The internal revenue bureau points
out that persons status on Dec. 81
Governs two things: First, the require
ment to file a return If the single IN
dividual had net income OF $1,000 OF
more. or if the married couple had
net income of $1,000 or more; second,
the exemption that may be claimed on
any return of net income.
And it is emphasized that the re-
ouirement to file return has no rela.
ton to the personal exemption, and
that a person cannot roid filing re-
turn merely by the fact that no tax is
due

budget system, under whiohgtbe govern
ment will be obliged to start with its

penditures.
Second, to secure an executive de-
partment which will stop urging and
Congress that will stop appropriating
money for things which need not to be
done now so extensively, or need not
be done at all.
Third, to revise the system of taxa
ton, and to make some serious changes
in it indicated by experiences of its
effects. The review of taxation will
involve the tariff. Our new tariff
law must be framed so that American
industry will not be ruined, especially
40 that the manufacture of things
which the war has shown to be neces-
sary for the independence OF the coun'
try shall not be stopped, and 1t must
be framed so as not to destroy the ex-
port trade of Europe, which directly or
indirectly will enable Europe to pay
her debts and remain solvent"

controversy, or about the wisdom or
folly of entering upon it.
1T seems clear to me that in the in
terests of the worlds peace, which all
America desires to promote, this treaty
ought TO be ratified with the reserva-
lions of the Senate, and that without
those reservations in their fair ana
honest substance it ought not to be
ratified | hope the treaty will be
ratified with the reservations long be-
fore the presidential election. That
will be done if the president permits it,
II that is not done, then that is what
think the Republican party ought to
stand for
Immediately after the 4th of March,
1921, Republican president should
urge upon the society OF nations the re-
form of the league covenant, so as to
make il establish the rule of public
right rather than the rule of mere ex-
pedency, so as to make the peace OF
the world rest primarily upon law, and
upon the effectiveness and enforcement
OF law. A congress OF all nations
should be called to consider and declare
what of international law still remains
of binding force, and to provide for the
| further development and extension OF
that law, and for the application OF
the law to all iustieiable cases of con
| troversy between nations by Impartial
| judicial tribunals, and to make the de-
| cisions of such tribunals upon ques-
| tions of fact and upon questions OF law
binding and effective. That Is the old
American doctrine, and that rs the nee
essary method of democracies, for de-
mocracies can li~e only under govern
! ments of laws, and not of men.
THE extreme effects OF the posses
sion of arbitrary power are seen IN the
extraordinary letters OF the president
to Secretary Lansing published on the
l4th Of FEBRUARY, 1920, by which 1t APP
pears that honest and independent adj
vice from officers Of the presidents own
selection is an offense, and that the ex.
ercise of the most ordinary powers of
the heads of departments without con
sulting the president when his illness
prevented consultation is cause for re-
sentiment.
ut is interesting to observe that
many citizens official and unofficial
who are willing that the country should
assume the startling obligations OF ar
ticle 10 are opposing the system OF uni
yersal military training, without which
our obligation would be worthless, and
which intensively applied enabled the
United States to turn the scale OF war
against Germany. They say we have
millions of young men already trained
but how long is the service which these
splendid and patriotic youths have al
ready rendered to their country to be
made the ground for imposing upon
them exclusively the burden Of further
service. and leaving the millions OF
Young men who come to military age
year after year unframed and unhtteo
to do their part for the defense OF ouI
country"
