CENSUS WORKERS
FIND MANY MISSED BY THOSE
TAKING REGULAR ENUMERA TON

Pcndleton's volunteer census cam
paign is underway and results thus far
obtained show the unquestionable need
of such work if a complete count of
local people is TO be had.
The Commercial Association emu
merators are finding that in some in
stances homes have been missed en-
ttrely by the enumerators while in
other cases all the individuals living
at given number have not been en-
rolled. No criticism is made of the
regular enumerators who have tried to
do faithful work but it is declared the
results they have secured will not show
the true POPULATION of Pendleton ex-
cept through use OF the data being
gathered by the volunteer enumera-
tors.
The north side ward is being can
vassed today and this evening by the
district workers and the canvass is al
so underway in most of the other
wards of the city. Cooperation from
local people is asked by George Hart
man, general chairman. in order that
the city may make a correct showing
in the consus.

AGENT WOULD Defer
PRUNING OF ORCHARDS

p@stponement of winter pruning of
fruit trees in Stanfield and Hermiston
sections is urged by Fred Bennion,
county agriculture agent. who after
a trip to the west end of the county
says that it is advisable to defer prun-
Ing until the. frost is out of, the trees.
This would dclay the pruning season
until the spring.
1t is difficult as Vet To determine
just how much damage was done to
the trees during the recent cold snap.
SAYS Mr.. Benniou, but from all indi-
cations. peach and cherry trees in
Stanfield have been damaged while in
Hermiston, all trees, with the eNcep-
tiun Of apple trees, are damaged.
Pruning at the present time would
lake off fruit buds which would de-
crease the possi sibilities Of maximum
fruit production. Because of the in
lrry to trees. judicious pruning will
hc very necessary, says Mr.. Bennion.

. The scene in the cloak room was a
marked contrast to meeting IL
months ago when the league was
born. Then President Wilson and the
American delegation were the most
dominant and powerful figures Today
the United States was not even repre-
isented officially. Her name did not
figure either in the charter members
Of the league or in the list of those in
vited to join.
Honor Was Wilson's.
Referring to the failure Of the Unit
ed States to accept the league, he said:
The task Of presiding at this meeting
and the Inauguration of the greatest
of international institutions should
have fallen to President Wilson. We
respect the reasons which still delay
the entrance of our Washington
friends and hope these will be soon
overcome and representatives of the
United States Will occupy place
among us. The councils then will as
sumo that definite character and that
particular force which should be as
sociated with our work"
Organization OF the league de-
clared President Bourgeois, will not
be complete until the assembly of all
states comes together Among the
states invited to join within two
months after the treaty of peace be-
comes effective Spain, Argentine.
Paraguay, Chile and Persia have al
ready accepted Even if the league
thus remains incomplete until a later
date. todays melting nevertheless bears
the character of the first solemn act
Today will go down in history, as the
late of the birth of new world
Right for Might a Reality.
This decision is to be taken today
n the name of the states adhering to
he covenant of the league. 1t will be
he first decree of all free nations
eagueing themselves together for the
first time in the history of the world
o substitute right for might"
In closing his address the French
eader solemnly said: with eyes
ixed on the distant future. with our
on the solid ground of political
nd social relations, we will create
world by this league which can de-
elop the spirit of justice and desire
or peace

Harry Carey has given local thea. tragoers evidence of his skill in a number of photodramas during the past several years, but it is doubtful if he has ever presented a more ap- pealing and human character than that of Blue Streak Mccoy" in the story of that title, which is now being shown at the Empire theatre. It gives him an opportunity for his good humor, his human nature and his tense dramatic power.
