HAD SUBLET THE CONTRACT
And Doughboy Was Satisfied His
"Hole" Would Be Finished With
out Too Much Delay.

The restless. individuality of the
American soldier, who was always
seeking shorter way TO do things,
made him appear to the French and
British as hopelessly undisciplined.
Even in battle the doughboy hated to
follow precedent.
A unit of the Seventy-eighth divf-
sion, pressing on under shell-fire in
the battle of the Meuse-Argonne,
finally stopped under orders to dig in
as fast as possible. In a few mo-
ments dirt was flying along the whole
line
"Out in front, however, just behind
slight natural mound, one dOughboy
fay motionless with his rifle sIanting
toward the enemy.
Make hole Make a hole!" yelled
the lieutenant, coming up.
"Sh-h, don't excite my contractor"
the doughbOy replied.
Over the edge of the mound the lieu
tenant saw a German prisoner fever
ishly digging almost at the end of
the doughboy's gun. The Home

He Remembered the LAW.

The boy scouts were telling their
scoutmaster of some Of the good turns
they had done during the last week,
He was having this done for the bene-
fit of one of the city school teachers
who was visiting the meeting. One of
the little scouts said: II helped an old
lady across the street"
The next little scout looked at the
visiting teacher, who happened to be
his teacher, and who also was in the
early thirties. Il brought my teacher
u pitcher of well water when she was
not feeling WELL" he told the scoutmas-
ter.
The teacher smiled. "Why didn't
you say you helped another old ladyT'
she asked.
The retort that came back stag
gered her. The little scout said sweet
ly: "a scout is courteous"

of mailing ahothet and separate kind
of treaty with Germany.
IF there is any doubt as to what
the people of the country think on
this vital matter, the clear and sin
gle way out is to submit it for deter
mination at the next election to the
voters of the nation, to give the next
election the form of great and solemn
referendum, a referendum as to the
part the United States is to play in
completing the settlements of the war
and in the prevention in the future of
such outrages as Germany attempted
to perpetuate.
No Moral Right to Retreat"
"We have no more moral right to
refuse now to take part in the execu-
ton and administration of these settle
ments than we had to refuse to take
part in the fighting of the last few
weeks of the war, which brought vic
tory and made it possible to dictate to
Germany what the settlements should
be.
This, in my Judgment. is to be the
great privilege of the democracy of the
United States, to show that it can lead
the way in the solution of the great
social and industrial problems of our
time, and lead the way to a happy set
tied order of life as we'll as to political
liberty.
"The program for this achievement
we must attempt to formulate, and in
carrying it out we shall do more than
can be done in any other way to sweep
out of existence the tyrannous and
arbitrary forms of power, which are
now masquerading under the name OF
popular government"

1--WE Are Still at War"


Germany is beaten, but we are still
at war with her, and the old stage is
reset for repetition Of the old plot.
It is now ready for the resumption of
the old offensive and defensive alli-
ances which made settled peace impos-
Sible.
without the covenant of the league
of nations there may be as many Sc
cret treaties as ever, to destroy the
confidence of governments in each
other, and their validity cannot be
questioned. None of the objects we
profesSed to be fighting for has been
secured or can be made certain of
without this nations ratification of
the treaty.
World Peace Depends on U. s
''The question is whether this coun-
try will enter and enter whole-heart-
eddy. If it does not do so the United
States and Germany will play lone
hand in the world. The maintenance
of the peace of the world and the eff
fective execution of the treaty depend
upon the whole-hearted participation
of the United States. I am not stat
ing it as a matter Of power. The point
is that the United States is the only
nation which has sufficient moral force
with the rest of the world to guaran-
tee the substitution of discussion for
war. If we keep out of this agree
ment, if we do not give our guaran-
tees then another attempt will be
made to crush the new nations of Eu-
rope.
Believes People Desire Ratification.
81 do not believe that this is what
the people of this country wish or will
be satisfied with. Personally, l do not
accept the action of the senate of the
United States as the decision of the
nation. l have asserted from the first
that the overwhelming majority of the
people Of this country desire the rati-
fcation of the treaty and my impress
sion to that effect has recently been
confirmed by the unmistakabie evil
| dences of public opinion given during
my visit to seventeen of the states.
II have endeavored to make it plain
that if the senate wishes to say what
the undoubted meaning of the league
is, / shall have no objection. There
can be no reasonable objection to in
terpretations accompanying the act of
ratification itself But when the treaty
is acted upon,,I must know whether it
| means that we have ratified or re-
jected it.

eve cannot rewrite this treaty. We
must take it without changes which

UNION HIGH SCHOOL /
DISTRICT WINS VOTE

Union high school district No. Q
comprising 10 districts in Milton-F Freer
water country was formed yesterday
at an election in which nine Of the 10
districts interested returned substan-

The measure forming the Union high
school district and selecting a site in
the city limits of Milton won by. a
large majority. N
The district will probably establish
a high school In Milton during the
coming fall term although the S15t,-
600 building planned for the district
probably will not be ready for almost
a year. The district was made neces-,

URIC ACID IN MEAT
CLOGS THE KIDNEYS
Take a glass of Salts if your
Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

If you must have your meat every
day, eat it. but flush your kidneys with
salts occasionally, says noted author
I ijy who tells us that meat forms uric
acid which almost paralyzes the kid
neys in their efforts to eXpel il from
the blood. They become sluggish and
weaken. then you suffer with duh
misery in the kidney region, sharp
pains in the back or sick headache,
dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue
is coated and when the weather is bad
You have rheumatic twinges. The
urine gets cloudy, full of sediment. the
channels often get sore and irritated'
obliging you to seek relief two or three
times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids,
to cleans the kidneys and flush off the
bodys urinous waste get four ounces
of Jad salts from any pharmacy here;
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of
water before breakfast for a few days
and your kidneys will then act fine
This famous salts is made from the
acid of grapes and lemon juice, com
bined with lithia. and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate
sluggish kidneys. also To neutralize the
a cids in urine. so it no longer irritates,
thus ending bladder weakness.
Jad Salts is inexpensive: cannot in
jure, and makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink.

The present figures call for an esti-
mated cost Of $14,344.05, as against
$9953 under the old estimate. The
higher figure Is necessary because OF
the law which requires the contrac-
tors bid to be lower than the estimate
before it can be accepted.
While the increased figures repre-
sent a rise of 40 per cent over the
original estimate, the paving bid may
not exceed by 20 per cent the old
mark, the engineer explained today
The estimate was placed high enough
to allow for bids on any kind of paw
ing on the market. Concrete, gravel
bitulithic and warrenite bitulitic on
gravel base are al lspecified.
Several other paving districts on
the north side are being reassessed in
order to allow for the problematical,
as the work is as tedious as starting
anew, Mr.. Hays says.

from Pilot Rock, Pendleton and Ukiah
into the John Day country. The work
was inspired by report recently to
the Pendleton Commercial Assocla-
tion that trade was being diverted all
most entirely 10 Heppner because Of
the poor condition of the road.
The association appointed a commit
tee which took up with the county
court the matter of relief from this
condition. The court has notified
Harry Huston, roadmaster at Ukiah,
and he has put men at work raking
off the rocks in the road, filling in
the bad holes and blasting out a few
of the major distractions in the road.
About eight miles of road will be
worked over.
Work Is Temporary
Only temporary work will be done
on the bridge Creek and John Day
grades as the county's road building
program calls for a new road to the
north fork of the John Day river and
the Grant county line. This road, yet
to be surveyed. will follow Camas
Creek from the Mettie place below
Ukiah to its junction with the John
Day river. 1t will eliminate the long
Iohn Day grade and many other heavy
pulls.
Cattlemen of the Long Creek and
Fox Valley vicinities occasionally drive
out their cattle to Pilot Rock to ship,
as that point is much nearer than
Heppner. The large bands of cattle
have torn up the road in many places
and have made the road too rough for
these same cattlemen to haul back
provisions from Pendleton and Pilot
Rock Thousands of dollars in trade
have thus been lost to this section be-
cause the roads have not been kept up.
Trade Diverted
The Grant county and south Una |
tilla cattle countries have long been
under the eye of Pendleton and Pilot
Rock and have been considered tribu- |
tary to these points as trade centers |
Better roads although longer have
been maintained into Heppner via I
of late trade has been !
more and more diverted to the Nor
row county seat.
