LEGION DANCE WILL
MARK COUNTY DRIVE

Pendleton Post, American Legion,
will be host tomorrow night at big
public dance to be held in the Eagle
organization. A six-piece orchestra
composed entirely of legion men, will
play for the dance.
Decorations of flags are being ar
ranged about the hall today and the
floor will be placed in the finest
shape, the committee announces. The
dance will be the first event of a busy
week for the local legion members.
The campaign to bring in all the
former service men in the county
opened simultaneously today in all the
county towns having a post. A dele

signed up. Men in the west end will
be asked to join Hermiston post, al

Join Pendleton will be allowed to do
so.

smoker to be held here Saturday
right. Other flying squadrons will
visit Helix and Pilot Rock probably
t. morrow or Wednesday and align ser
Vice men for Pendleton Post, as these

IMMORTALITY LAID TO
INSUFFICIENT WAGE

BUTTE. Mont. Feb. 23.-Women
investigators charge that due to low
wages which are paid to girl employees
Of department stores here, immortality
among the employees is growing.
1t is charged. in a report which has
been published here. that girls are
paid as low as $3.50 per week. and
that in order to earn their living eX-
penses the young women are compell-
ed to seek additional means of liveli-
hood.
The reopening of the restricted dis
tricts, under strict police supervision,
appointment of women welfare work
ers with police powers, and compul-
sorry payment OF living wages to wo-
men workers are advocated by club
women as means Of curbing the al
legged spread of immortality.

YAKIMA OWNERS FACE
DANGER OF FORGETTING
10000 VALUABLE ACRES
Highly Improved Farm Land
Will be Lost Unless Delinqu-
ent Assessments Are Paid
Wp Before March 16.

YAKIMA, Feb. 23.-More than 10,
600 acres of highly improved farm
land in the Sunnyside district will bt
lost to ownerds unless before March
Il they ray delinquent assessments
now amounting to 1928 cents per acre
according to George E. Rodman, sec
rotary of the Sunnyside Irrigation dis
trict
Mr.. Rodman says that every effort
is being made to give personal notice
tn owners of this land in time to
enable them to preserve their titles.
In most cases delay in payments have
been found due to carelessness.
Under the first assessment of 10
cents an acre made by the irrigation
district in 1917, 10000 acres became
delinquent in the fall of that year,
and certificates of delinquency were
issued in March. 1918. Under the law
the holders of thesA certificates may
forecolse their claims and take title
to the land two years after issuance
of the certificates. The two years will
be up on March 16.
A remarkable fact is that during
the three years when irrigation as
sessments have become delinquent the
farmers have been most prosperous.

Address at John Hopkins University Declares Treaty. Born
Fire, Needs Reservations and That America as Party to
Covenant is Blocking Coming of Real Peace.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 23.-Warning
ngainst the judgment of "poiice court
minds" Herbert Hoover, speaking al
John Hopkins University today called
upon senate factions to ratify the
peace treaty on the basis of mild res
ervationist proposals.
1T appears to many of u.s." Hoover
said. that the most practical hope of
immediate ratification lies in lesser
reservationists accepting the propo-
sails OF the mild reservationists. For
my part, IL the league cannot prove its
value under the latest proposals OF
the mild reservationists. it will never
prove t under proposals of lesser
ieservationists."
Fayors Higher Pay
In addition to speaking for treaty
ratification, Hoover urged an immed-
late rise of the salary of teachers and
professors.
He opposed injecting of the treaty
into the coming campaign and pointed
out that our policy under the league,
IL finally accepted, must still be work
ed out. There are many, he said, who
believe the United States should keep
out OF purely European affairs.
Asks Revision
Hoover said; THE treaty as dstln-
guished from the covenant of the
league of nations, was born in fire,
suffering. n sense of wrong. passions
OF revenge and the fear that grows
from them. Already many Of its sig
natories are acknowledging il must be
revised"
Hoover said II the new European
countries survive they must reinteg-
rate much OF their former economic
relationship and free themselves from
the burden OF armaments. He asserted
that not only economic questions but !
problems of getting maximum repara-
tions depend on the coming of real
peace." He added; TT will be delayed |
as long as we hang the treaty in the /
air for we are n part of it, / do not |
believe adherence of the American 4
people to the league requires any DEM
onstration. / believe n majority of our 4
people are convinced on tiTn neesesdty 4

conflict appear to concede this---in the
meantime the world is held in sus-
pense.

New York, Mar. 1.-THE cotton
market was comparatively quiet early
today, the opening being irregular at
an advance of 19 points to decline
of Z points. A decline in the Liverpool
market was attributed largely to the

some selling on a less favorable view
of the German news, and there was
