Want Washington Grain BIII

1t is reported here that on the con-
clusion of the legislative session at
Salem President Roy w. Ritner, of the
state senate, will visit the Washington
legislature at Olympia for the purpose
of urging that Legislature to enact a
grain bill similar to the one just passed
by the Oregon Legislature! In Wash
ington the grain growers are said to
be suffering under identically the same
conditions that prevail here due to the
difference between the federal grain
grading standards and the exports
grain tests. Consequently it is felt that
the Washington legislature may enact
legislation similar to Oregon when the
facts are made clear. AS far as is
known here the farmers of Washington
have not taken any action looking to
a new grain bill at Olympia.

tobacco habit Whenever you have a
longing for a cigarette, cigar, pipe. or
for a chew, just place harmless No

Shortly the habit may be completely
broken, and you are better off mental

so simple. Get a box of No-To-Bac
and if it dosen't release you from all
craving for tobacco in any form, your

THE WORLD SERIES BALL GAME

With the possible exception of presi-
Dental elections and big college foot
ball contests, no event In the United
States attracts such intense interest as
the world series ball games. This
feeling is a reflection of our national
temperament. IL is not shared by
hear o ( the French, the Germans, the
Italians, the Russians, or the Chinese
or Japanese, gathering In these enor-
nous crowds In their home lands and
showing this intense excitement over
such sports.
Probably this high degree of agita-
ton ls due TO the American sense OF
competition. Our people are full OF
the spirit OF ambition. and II manifests
Itself in many ways other than the
race for money or power.
They like to attain skill In any kind
of art. and to match themselves against
others OF equal or better attainment
Even when no money reward Ia al
stake, they throw themselves into
these tests OF skill and speed with the
most tremendous enthusiasm. Win
ming these competitions seems the
hight of ambition, and losing, O crush.
ing sorrow and often disgrace.
Our people throw themselves witt
tremendous loyalty into the supper
of the players of their home city. Thos,
players may be absolute strangers t
most OF the spectators, and they ma,
come from entirely different localities
Yet once they bear the uniform OF tn
home town, the crowd Identifies then

THE MAN WHO ATE FOUR
SHEEP FOR BREAKFAST.

There are famous appetites In his
tory and more or less famous ~appetites
right here in our own community. But
have you yet heard Of the American
citizen whoa consumed four sheep
or, TO be exact, the equivalent Of four
sheep for breakfast?
Come with us TO Chicago. Arriving
on another train is a stock farmer
from Nebraska who raises sheep by
ten thousands. No matter about his
name; the incident is on record In the
office of Mr.. Wallace, Secretary of
Agriculture In Washington.
The stock farmer has shipped IL 900
sheep before leaving home. When his
flock arrives in Chicago he sells II and
is paid THIRTY-TWO CENTS PER
SHEEP after freights, commissions
and other charges are deducted.
The next morning he goes into 9
fairly good Chicago restaurant and
orders mutton chops for breakfast
When he pays his bill he finds that h;
has eaten the equivalent of the price
he had the day before received fol
four sheep.
AS we have said before the wood
pile is full of Senegamblians.

OUR PROSECUTING ATTORNEY
SHOJTLD EXPLAIN.

Justice will soon be a bye word In
Power County unless a more satisfac-
tory administration of the law Ia OBJ
tanned. When n crime is committed
against the public, 1t is the duty Of the
prosecuting attorney to prosecute with
all the yigor and our at his COM
mand. He Is looked upon as a public
defender and az such should be sup
ported with the confidence and faith
in keeping with the Office.
The Press has no specific charges
OF incompetency or neglect To make at
this time against any particular office
holder. But Il patient public has toll
Grated long enough the demoralizing
miscarriage OF justice. A conscien-
cious county administration cannot af-
ford 10 allow Itself to suffer the humil-
iation that results when justice goes
AIRY. The law should no longer be
allowed to invite public scorn.
Since the present prosecuting at
torney has been an incumbent OF the
office convictions for crime have been
few and far between. Perhaps he Is
not to blame, but the public holds him
responsible. He, therefore should In
justice to himself and the people who
elected him to office, explain the pre-
else reasops why he has not been more
bhecessful In court and why getting in
to court on the charge of committing
a crime In Power County Is merely
preliminary to aoqulttal.
There must be a starting place 4

Press believes that the place TO star

ing attorney, II Will therefor look for

WHY THE

The Press has little respect for
those people OF organizations who

latter the cause.
