Wis., a village, which was hap py and contented three years ago, is In distress because of the European war. It hus too much money. Berksdale Is the location of one of the plants of the Dupont Powder com pany, and the operation of this plant has made the whole countryside pros perous. - When tax paying time came, however. Barksdale found that the old davs when money was scarce were better. In previous years the village board never had more than (13.000 In the treasury after all taxes had been col lected. This year the powder com pany has paid 1118.000 in Income tax es alone, and the board has appealed to the state tax commission for relief. The president of the village explains that they might find ways to spend the tu this year, but that next year the company will pay 1250.000 if things keep going the way they have, and that prospect has scared the vil lage board stiff. The tax commission has advised the board to keep a stiff upper lip, and has Introduced a law In the Wis consin legislature providing that here after when s village receives more than 2 per cent of its assessed valu ation In Income taxes the money may be distributed In the county acordtng to school population. Has Typhoid 1-Vve. Olen Huey, high school student and one of Pendleton's crack track men is quite ill with typhoid and it Is seri ously feared he may not recover in time for track work.

HVK MINITK TALKS BY NATIONAL I.KADEHS So the People May Know That the Golden Rule store is giving better values today than any one store mer chant in Pendleton can think of giving. That we are buying in larger quantities than all the stores in Pendleton and Umatilla county combined or can attempt to do. That we do undersell all competitors and that our merchandise, even at the same price that others quote, is a better fabric, better workmanship and a more serviceable garment. And last but not least that we sell better than "MIGHTY GOOD CORSETS" at 59c; also that we do sell you AMOSKEAG APRON CHECK GINGHAMS at Sc per yard. Do not be misled by "Before the War" prices, as there is no such thing, for the simple reason that the war has been in progress for almost three long years and no merchant or manufacturer would, under any conditions, anticipate their wants and place orders for three year ahead. We have just placed an order for 4,553 DOZEN LADIES' WAISTS for spring. Think this over, it gives you an idea of how big we are. arilcs' Burson Hose LadleM' silk ltoot.

JO'S it f jLn,.A , Nothing probably has occurred of greater national importance since the civil war in the way of progressive legislation than the rural credit act of the United States. It is as yet little understood and is criticized in -many quarters, no doubt through lack of knowledge about Its workings. Applications are pouring in for loans by the hundreds of thousands. . It means back to the farm, which has been an empty cry heretofore; and not back to the farm to make a failure, but to make a success. With the Bid of government money with s low rate of Interest, scientific farm ing, more Intensified cultivation and bigger crops will come reduced cost of living and, with big returns to the farmer, it will all redound to the glory of that Illustrious statesman, Woodrow Wilson. This act stands on a par with the regional reserve act, also passed by this session. It may be in advance of the times, but nevertheless, it shows the wisdom of anticipating the wants of the people before a crying need takes place, and this act has demon strated that the government can leg islate for the benefit of the masses and build up that great Industry, ag riculture, which is the basis of all wealth and the security of all invest ments and the upllt of the human family. ssrwv5 rwr r.
