ed States" says Mrs. de Veyra. Il dc not mean to infer we are perfect, fol we are not My people have most ol the defects, I suppose, that other hu mans have, but at the same time we are far from the people that many Americans have been made to believe Not only are we a Christian people but our race has history that We arc not ashamed of. Throughout the Phil ippine Islands the people are now working earnestly to improve them selves and their conditions so they will be prepared to take over their own af fairs. We all love America for giving us a chance to help ourselves and for having promised us our independence which Is one of the dearest desires of the entire citizenship of the isMnds."
 To American women whose ideas of Filipinos have been founded on Sun- day supplement descriptions of wild tribes, Mrs. de Veyras gentle manner and evident culture have been a reve- lation. She Is sought by women's clubs because of her charming manner as an
 
 impromptu speaker on the subject nearest her heart-the women of her country.
 At recent Washington gathering she gave in perfect English concise account of the work of woman's club in Manila which supplies milk to the babies of the poor and trains mothers to care for their young children. She told of another woman's club which has branches all over the Philippine Islands md which maintains day nurseries for the children of the work ing women, provides Christmas cheer for the iepers, the insane and the con- victs, and gathers data to influence leg islation for the benefit of Filipino wo- men and children.
 The four little De Veyras, shown in the picture, having attended the pub lie schools in Manila, slipped right into the same grades in the schools of Washington. Even little Mary, the baby of the family, speaks three Ian guages-her native tongue, Spanish and English.

 Commissioner de Veyra has an inter- esting wife and four bright Filipino kiddies. The De Veyra family, individ- ually and collectively, constitute the best argument as to the tact and capa- bllities of Filipinos that the Philippine Islands have in Washington.
 The commissioner is a 100 per cent Filipino, a Visayan, and is one of the foremost leaders of the party in power in the islands. During American occu- patton he has been suCcessively gov ernor of his province member of the Philippine legislature, cabinet mem Der and executive secretary of the islands.
 Like many statesmen of the Philip pines, he was originally a newspaper man. He was one of the founders of Fl Nuevo Dia of Cebu, the first Fill pino paper published advocating Phil ippine independence The paper came under the censorship of General Me Intyre. and on the appearance of the first number the editors were left in the singular position of seeing every prominent article blue penciled.

.GAG|NG STATIONS ARE
ESTABLISHED ON RIVER
Flow of Stream Measured For Great
John Day Project-Field Work of
Engineers Is Now Under Way.

At meeting of the board of d.
rectors of the John Day Irrigation
District in Heppner on Tuesday, July
9th, John II. Lewis, engineer for the
District was present and reported
that three gaging stations have been
established on the John Day river
and daily observations are now being
made OF the flow of the river at Clar-
no, also on the main river and South
Fork, at the proposed reservoir site
near Dayyille.
Now that the District has been
formed on the basis OF a high line
canal, the amount of water available
for reclamation is one of the most
important factors in the new plan
now in course Of preparation, and
these measurements are necessary.
During the past week, H. B.
Schminky has been working at the
county court house on a present own
ership map. He goes from here TO
Pendleton and Condor, and also to
the land Offices at The Dalles and La
Grande.
MI. Lewis also reported that F.

sistants il ne preparation OF the or
iginal cooperative report on the low
line John Icy project, has been en-
gagged to take charge of all field stud
les for the plan now in course of
preparation. R. D. Cooper, for many
ycars with the state engineers office
will be in charge of the field survey
party Mr., Cooper, however, will not
begin his field work until Mr.. billiard
has had an opportunity of thoroughly
going over the various possible routes
suggested by Mr.. Lewis and the most
feasible route for the line has been
selected.
During the past month Mr., Lewis
has spent considerable time in the
field so as to properly direct the var
ious field operations of the engineer

by Timothy l.. Ansberry of Ohio, car

While 1t has been understood all
through the convention that Cox and
his forces were opposed to the Wilson
regime, yet reports from the White
House indicate that the president will
lend his support to the election Of
the party's choice.
The wet vote was the main

MORROW FARM BUREAU
MAKES INSPECTION TRIP
(By L. A. Hunt.)

In company with Professor Hyslop
of the Department of Agriculture,
members of the executive committee
of the Morrow County Farm Bureau
and prominent farmers of the county
made the trip to Sherman county last
week in company with the County
Agent TO study crop conditions in
Gillian, Sherman and Morrow coun-
ties. The grain in the south part of
Morrow county is looking quite we'll
and the prospects around Condor are
exceptionally good. The fayorite
varieties around Condor are forty
lold and early baart, no turkey red
being raised as far south as Condor
that was observed.
One thing that struck all members
of the tour was the striking differ
ence between the type Of forty-fold,
which had been imported from Union
county last year, and that which was
grown locally. The local forty-fold
compares with the forty fold in Sher-
man county and that in Morrow coun-
ty and none OF it is anything like as
good as the forty-fold which has been
shipped in. The imported forty-fold
has large, well squared tip and ta-
pers down toward the straw, while
the local variety tapers from the
straw towards the tip. In this con-
nection it is worth while to say that
the Farm Bureau has arranged with
Professor Hyslop to make special
trip into the Condor country to GER
tify the best field in that section with
the idea that the farmers in the south
part of Morrow county will be able
to secure fom the neighboring county
a splendid supply of seed wheat. Con-
tinuing through the Ajax country it
was observed that several farmers in
that vicinity were experimenting with
tukey red and forty-fold. The distinc-
tion in this neigrborhood was quite
close although probably the turkey
was a little in the lead. The Farm
Bureau committee was especially in
terested in observing If possible the
growth of turkey on the heavy soil
and an examination was made of
forty-fold and turkey growing side
by side around Grass Valley up as
far south as Kent, but in nine cases
out of ten the turkey wheat undeni-
ably was ahead of the forty-fold.
Whether that would be true in Nor
row county I'VE cannot say absolutely
although where ever we have turkey
growing side by side with blue stem
apparently turkey is little bit in
the lead. The territory around Grass
Valley and Kent has heretofore been
considered strictly forty-fold terri
tory and the fact that il is being in
yaded by the turkey wheat speaks
we'll for the continuation of turkey
wheat in Morrow county. One thing
is quite certain. the famers In Sher-
man county know better how to han
die turkey wheat than many farmers
in Morrow county have yet learned
because it is wheat that requires
particular handling. 1t was observed
by all members Of the tour that the
farmers in Sherman county had a
uniform stand Of grain and that the

by the Manx author, will be seen at

AS picture is doubtless will prove
one of the screens greatest triumphs.
The tremendous story OF Mary'5
struggles after being sacrificed upon
the altar of wedlock to man she
hates is unforgettable and as the
story covers a wide field-Egypt, AZ
rica, India, England and the South
Polar regions-it will be not only
powerful dramatically but colorfal
and fascinating in every other way.
The production has practically an
all star cast Of players, Miss Mac

Human Collateral" Feature
Film At Star Theatre Tonight

What is the market value Of a
bride who is beautiful, cultured ano
possessed of the highest social stand
ing2 Vitagraph's feature picture
Human Collateral" sets the price at
over $1,0O0,0O0. This picture, with
Corinne Griffith in the stellar role,
will be shown at the Star theater to-
night.
Miss Griffith plays the role of a
beautiful society girl, the daughter
Of Stephen Langdon, a Wall street
operator. Langdon falls into severe
financial difficulties and is compelled
to negotiate huge loan from Rod
erick Duncan, who happens to be
virtually engaged to wed Patricia.
Langdon informs Duncan that he
should hesitate to ask for such a
large loan unsecured and subject to
the chance of loss unless he thought
Duncan was to wed his daughter, In
the latter case the loan would be a
family matter, he remarks
Patricia learning of the proposed
loan, assumes that she is being trans
ferred as human collateral for the
money. She conceives the idea Of hu-
initiating the two men for their ap-
parent sordidness by making her en-
gagement to Duncan legal money
transaction. As the proceeding pro-
crosses 1t is made apparent that the
girl is accepted as having a literal
value Of more than $1,000,O00.
The contract is drawn up legally
transferring her to Duncan In ex-
change for the loan. This brings
about remarkably dramatic climax,

FARMERS FIX SCALE Of
WAGES FOR HARVEST

On the 26th of June the executive
Committee of the Farm Bureau, the
labor committee OF the Farm Bureau
aid the sheep mems committee met
in the council chambers to consider
several matters of mutual interest.
Ihe referendum from northern Nor
row county Farm Bureaus that the
county vote special tax to destroy
the rabbit pest in the northern part
OF the county was taken up and con-
sidered. AT the suggestion OF the
executive committee OF the Farm Bu-
reau the motion was made that the
rabbit and coyote be combined and
that a fund be raised for payment OF
part Of the salary for a government
trapper and that the Federal gov
eminent be asked to pay the other
half of the salary SO that the sheep
men would not be burdened with the
entire cost of eradicating the coyote,
and with this amendment it was f.
nally voted that an effort be made
to secure the placing upon the bal
lot this fall of a measure calling for
about one-half a mill which would
raise approximately $1,000 to be plac-
ed in a fund called the eradication OF
county pests, such as rabbits, coyotes,
and squirrels. This seemed to meet
with the unanimous approval of all
those present
Under the consideration of scale
of wages 1t was brought out that a
great many farmers have in the past
had very satisfactory results in en-
ploying harvest men at the same scale
of wages. Leaders, box-drivers, and
stackers being paid the same wages.
1t was finally moved and carried that
this should be followed during this
season and after considerable dis
cussion of the scale of wages 1t was
unanimously voted to pay this class
of work $500 per day. This agrees
exactly with the scales of wages paid
in Sherman county. This is the first
time that Morrow ounty has paid as
high a wage as Sherman county in
some years. The labor situation
seems to be very much improved over
what 1t promised to be sixty days ago.
We believe with several saw-mills
and logging camps closing down for
the summer or at least curtailing pro-
duction and the vast amount of labor
which is floating about the country
that there will be no difficulty to Sc
cure all the help necessary for hal
vest. 1t is hoped that the farmers
will hold as close to this stabilization
of wages as possible as there is nc
occasion for farmers here paying a
higher price than that paid in the
neighboring county and If every body
will hold to this wage scale 1t will
make conditions generally more sat
isfactory. The bidding against one
another among farmers for help does
not make any more harvest hands.
