Mrs. Hattie Hale Wingo, Who Died at Garlield Monday at Kest in Mt Olivet Cemetery, Salt Lake. THIS IS REAL PATRIOTISM. "The Union Pacific Railroad and its affiliated branches including the O.-W. R. & N. have subscribed for $5,000,000 of the Liberty Bonds. They are also assisting their em ployes to buy the bonds, advancing the money and allow ing their employes to repay the sum in installments. This is real substantial patriotism, without-fuss or feathers. We hope all employers will do the same. O A DUTY ON TILE FARM. The boys of the country should remember that there is just as much patriotism in doing their farm chores just now as thlere is in shouldering a musket. City boys can do their bit gardening or better yet, go out on the farm and help raise crops. O ! A GOOD APPOINTMENT. That Herbert C. Hoover, an Oregon boy, is to be the food controller of the United States is a source of gratifi cation to us. We believe Hoover is the man for the nob . iNo government department or bureau is big enough' for vit. Pr obably the lirst thing Hoover will do is to guarantee . the farmer a legitimate price in all the foodstuffs he raises That will end the present uncertainty and increase pro- auction. : o THE STATE COUNCIL.

Many other duties the State Council has assumed will be announced from time to time. Right now the Council will endeavor to make Oregon's record on "Registration Day", .Tune 5, as clear as a bell and to pro mote the success of the Liberty Loan. There is work for all. We must do it cheerfully and well. 0 GENERAL PERSUING WILL LEAD. General Pershing will lead the American expedition to France. No fault can be found with this selection. He is an able and a courageous officer and he will reflect luster upon American arms abroad. Colonel Roosevelt, while not chosen to lead, will not sulk in his tent. 1 le will be found serving his country day and night. The Colonel has already accomplished what he wanted to accomplish: The sending of an American army to the rescue of France A BANK'S STRENGTH is known by the statement it issues for tho benefit of tho public and its stockholders.

The ninth annual exhibit of the Union Livestock Show will be held at Union June 13, 14 and 15. It will soon be here and we must all busy ourselves to make it a successful event. The livestock industry which is centering around Union, and which the progressive men of that community are tostenng is a big asset of this county. The show this year will give $2000 in cash prizes. It will attract people from all over the state. It has a patriotic slogan "The Best We'll Breed for America's Need." The stockmen will b5 given free feed, free shelter, and free entrance. Union County is already noted as a livestock center. This Union show has made it so, it has started and stimulated the breeding of pure-blood livestock. This industry can bp made bigger and of more real value to Union County than the Pendleton Round-Up. Let's all help. One way is to make the Union Livestock Show, this year of all year's a gii'ciL success. -0- Resources Ixmns and Discounts $S4fi,S7l.2r U. S. Bonds 112,000.00 Real Estate, Furni ture, Ktc 69,294.

It is natural that young men full of pen and enthusiasm should be chosen lor some occupations but there is no business or vocation in which mature judgment and experience are not at a premium. A typical case of a man of seventy-one years of age who is still on the job is William Hood, chief engineer of the Southern Pacific Company, who completed on May 3 fifty years of active service as a railroad builder.

He will find thlat good habits and good character come first; then a good physique and well-trained body stored with physical energy, then application, brains, courage, plodding. And he will find when he becomes interested in his work, his calling, his profession, that work is the most absorbing pursuit of life, that age does not stale its in finite variety, that while an exacting mistress it is not miserly in bestowing its rewards, the greatest of which are success and happiness. BEAUTIFUL FIGURES ' mm I 4p result from intelligent attention to correct corseting. Front Laced offer the world's best achievements in design and a careful selection of su perior materials to properly work ont these designs so the style lines are re tained during the entire life of the corset.. Appreciation of the fit, style and comfort, however, can only be had through a trial fitting the hardest test. Pauline Lederle Sommer Hotel BIdg. On May 3, 18(57, Mr. Hood entered the engineering corps of the Central Pacific, under Chief Engineer S .S. Monta gue. During his long and honorable service with what eventually became the Southern Pacific system, the well known engineer performed many feats which brought him national recognition. Among the things which are credited to Hood's genius are the completion of the Central Pacific road, construc tion of 1000 miles of Southern Pacific lines in Mexico, the famous loop with tunnel about tunnel over the Techachapi, the "S" road over the Siskiyous, the Great Salt Lake cut- ou, and the Hay Shore cut-oft. Wh.hen he joined the Central Pacific, it possessed only ninetv miles'. Now the operative mileage alone on the Pacific' Svstem is almost 7000. No doubt Mr. Hood met manv obstacles in his career. Rut we imagine he faced them with fortitutde and without whining. We do not picture Mr. Hood as a man who ever "watched the clock". We do see him burning the mid night candle, the Rochester lamp and the incandescent. The best thing a young man can do who wishes to suc ceed is to associate with successful men of good character X M NEW TELEPHONE DIRECTORY As we are about to issue a new directory we request all subscribers who wish any change or correction made in their list ing, or who intend moving at an early date, to notify us at once.
