n WONDER" Donald Carson said to
his fathers man-of-all-work. "if
there isn't some way could work
for my spending money this Summer?
Mother thinks I'm too young to work,
but, surely, Jacob, there must be some
thing l could do that won't be SO very
hard"
Jacob looked thoughtfully for a mo-
ment, and then he cried: I've got
something for you, Farmer Smith was
telling me just yesterday that he wish
ed he could get a couple Of boys to
work among his fruit and berries from
in the morning until IL; but he finds
it almost impossible to get boy to
work those hours
Il don't see why that work wouldn't
be just the thing for me, Jacob" cried
Donald joyfully. "Ill go out to the
farm right now and I'll ask Mr.. Smith
if he will allow me to leave promptly
at 12. and then III always be home to
lunch: that is. if he hires me. And
If he does say yes. then I'll find out II
mother win give her consent"
So Donald walked quickly the half
mile TO the Smith farm and found that
he could start work the next morn
ing, provided he brought note from
his parents giving their consent. and
provided he was al the shed door all
ready for work just as tn clock
struck 6.
you see. my boy. should have the
fruit and berries into the store by
noon, so that they will be firm and
fresh for the town folks evening din
ner. So, do you think. Donald. you
will be here tomorrow morning at 81
"Mr Smith" answered Donald, very
seriousy. Il hope TO be here; but If
find can not come / will telephone
and let you know"
That's right" cried Mr. Smith, as
he patted the boys shoulder Just
keep on being very business-like and
you and ! will get along famously.'
When Donald reached home his
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1921-04-30

parents were seated at the lunch table,
wondering where he could be.
He explained that he'd been seek
ing work. so he could make his own
spending money all Summer, and per-
haps have something to put in the
savings fund.
At first his mother objected very
strenuously, saying: "Son, the work
in the hot sun will make you ill.,"
But mOtherl" Donald cried, with a
great disappointment showing in his
brown eyes, "the work will be good
for me, won't it, Dad?"
And Mr.. Smith said he approved of
Donald trying to work at the farm as
long as he wished to do so.
And the next morning Mr.. Smith,
looking out the kitchen door, at FIVE
minutes of 6, saw Donald Carson
walking up the lane with eager foot
steps.
My, but the work seemed hard to the
town-bred boyi His back ached and
he felt as II the sun we're burning him
up But he kept right on working,
saying to himself: Il waited to make
my own spending money. and asked
Mr.. Smith to give me chance, which
he did. So now, in return. must not
pay any attention to how l feel. I'll
soon get accustomed to the heat of the
sun; I've got steady job for all Sum-
mer If l act right"
When he reached home at half-past
l2 and entered the dining-room he
didn't utter a word of complaint, but
jingled the five and ten-cent pieces in
his pocket, telling his mother Farmer
Smith was going to pay him each day
for the amount of work he'd done.
His mother saw at once how his deli
cate skin was blistered by the suns
hot rays. and she gave him cooling
lotion to bathe his burns, which COM
forted him SO much that by O'Clock
he was ready TO go to the square and
play with his boy friends, who all
clustered around him, and praised him
for his "spunk"
Every morning Donald jumped out
Of bed just as soon as his Big Ben
clock began whirring that twas S
O'Clock.
And, after eating a substantial
breakfast, he hurried to the farm
Then. one morning about 9 o'clock,
large rain drops began falling. And as
Farmer Smith had told him never to
pick berries in a rainstorm, he ran to
the kitchen door, to tell Mrs. Smith he
was going home
"0h, Donald" cried Mrs. Smith,
won't you come in the kitchen and
help me hull these strawberries; poor
old Janet is upstairs in bed, too i'll to
work, and so want to make straw
berry jelly"
And Mr. Smith, coming in the kitchen
at that moment, also asked Donald to
stay, saying be should be paid just
the same as if he was out in the patch
picking Strawberries.
The boy had never hulled strawber-

ries, but he said to himself: II am
needed here and can be great help to
poor, worried Mrs. Smith"
So he worked hard and when the
large clock in the kitchen struck II
he had three preserving kettles filled
to the brim. all ready to heat through
for the jelly.

American and Japanese Govern
ments Have Composed Their
Differences and Will
Sign Treaty.
fey The AssocIated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Amer
lean and japanese governments have
composed their differences over the
Pacific Island 70 zap and are prepar-
ing to sign treaty by which Japan
retains administrative control over the
island and the United States secures
the cable and wireless privileges there
for which she had contended since the
Paris peace conference.
In the same treaty Japan's league Of
nations mandate over zap and all the
other northern Pacific islands former
~ under German sovereignty, is given
recognition by the United States on
certain stipulated conditions These
conditions include provision for free
admission of missionaries and protec-
tion of American interests in the man
dated territory, and require that Japan
shall report to the United States as
well as to the league on details of her
administration of the mandate.
The .Yap cable and wireless rights,
regarded as highly important because
of the islands advantageous position
in the center of the Pacific group to
the south of Japan, are accorded by
nese governments and national alike,
on terms of absolute equality. In the
exercise OF these rights American ma
tionaIs are to be free from taxes, Ii
censing. censorship and every form of
discriminatory supervision. and in adj
dition are Ito s1te aided by the Japa-
nase government in securing needed
property and facilities.
The immediate value of the arrange
ment to the United States lies in the
concessions with regard to cable COM
munication, because they insure COM
plete American control of the exist
ing cable between zap and Guam.
Considerable Importance also is at
tacfed by American officials to the
radio privileges, although it is to be
agreed in the treaty that no American
radio station viii be installed so long
is the present japanese plant is op-
Grated without Discrimination exact
ions.
signature of the convention is ex-
pected within a few days, erasing one
of the principal causes for controversy
between washington and Toxic, and
bringing to an end negotiations which
have covered a period Of several
months.
Final instructions to the Japanese
delegates to accept the latest Ameri-
can proposal for a settlement are un-
derstood to have been received from
the Toxic foreign office last night.

WASHINGTON SCENE
OF HEAVIEST FALL
OF RAIN in YEARS
Heavy Property Damage Has
Been Done by Railroad Ac-
cidentS and LandsIideS.
NO HOPE FOR RELIEF
PREDICTED FOR TODAY
Inundation of a Large Area Is
Feared as Result of Jam Be
hind Train Wreckage.
(sy The Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 12.--Ten per-
sons are known to have been killed,
of others injured, and heavy
property damage has been done by
railroad accidents and landslides
caused by the worst flood western
Washington has known in years.
Heavy rains starting Saturday and
continuing to the present have sent
rivers out of their banks, washed out
bridges, torn through railroad em-
bankments and interrupted rail and
wire communication in many direc-
tions.
Weather bureau officials held out no
hope of relief for tomorrow, the fore
cast being for further heavy rains. In
undation of a large area was feared as
a result of a jam of flotsam behind
wreckage of a Northern Pacific train,
and workmen were busy trying to re-
move the wreckage before the river
was damned up enough to crash
through the jam suddenly and send a
dangerous body of water to overflow
nearby farm lends. Two lives We're
lost when the train plunged through
the bridge, weakened hy the foods.
In the Grays Harbor region flood
conditions were said to be the st
in years Near Aberdeen four persons
were killed and several injured in swo
logging railway accidents caused by
landslides.

WOMEN PREVENT
WORK in MINES
Stretch American Flag Across
Entrance and Threaten Vio-
Ience to ANY Passing.
10y The Associated Pressl

PITTSBURG, Kans.. Dec. 12.-
stretching a huge American flag
across the street leading to the en-
trance of the Jackson Walker mine,
No. il, here. early today, a crowd of
women, wives and relatives Of the
striking coal miners staged a demon
stration which prevented the 12S
miners employed in the shaft from
going to work.
Similar demonstrations, it was said
tonight, are planned by the women in
other mines tomorrow.
More than three thousand women
participated in today's demonstration.
They appeared at the mine before
daylight.
Each group Of workers was sur
rounded by women who warned them
in a veritable babel Of tongues not to
go to work Many of the demonstra-
tors appeared hostile and threatened
the men with physical violence if they
did not comply with instructions.
Sheriff Gould. accompanied by a
deputy sheriff, came on the scene soon
after the demonstration began. Both
men were powerless to stop the angry
women. who promptly relieved the
sheriff of his nose glasses and a pocket
full of good cigars.
