they have something the best of it
through generations of training afid
fierce ancestry, but they are not the
equal in any of the essential points of

to fight and what they are fighting
for. There is likely to be less sneer
ing reference to the Americans from

The County War Board's meeting
yesterday got results. It is compos
ed of representative citizens from ev
ery section bf Union county men
who arc heart and soul with their
- country, and tho way they went to
"the heart of matters indicated bo
5 yend a doubt that the day of batting j
the air and thinking we have dis-
phurged out patriotic duty by merely
waving me nag is over in union
county. 1 I
Wo arc going into the wnr busi
ness. - By the net of the board yes
terday, wheat was ; banished from
, Union county homes. Not merely by
word of mouth but reports will be
rendered telling who have wheat stor
ed In their homes, and the govern
ment will take charge of such cases.
After settling what must be dona rc;
lative to wheat, the Board took up
the question of needed funds in the
state to take care of war emergencies
'nnd petitions wore started for plac;
mg tho initiative moasuro on the
ballot this fall to amend the con
stitution so that another mill tax
may bo added by tho state, ,; :
' But one of the most concrete things
the Board did was to as:c the county
court ' by resolution and petition to
" Appropriate $250 a month for the
v.
. purpose of taking enre of the expense
- of collecting the wnr funds subRcrlb
ft ed In the different drives and to ut
; tend to detail work which men who
are very busy cannot well do.
. The county court will acquiesce in
this matter, for the Board in Us rc-
solution pledged the honor of every
citizen attending to -stand by the
ij court even if the appropriation asked
for caused tho county expense to ex-
cood the legal limit as now prescrib-
od by law.
,t- . Thus, the afternoon's meeting bore
results even larger than they appear
at tho present moment. Everyone
tr present renllzed wo must get down
to the business of war that this is
a not n spasmodic burst to be over in
a short time, bonce the cool, calm de
liberation of Union county men and
women with the usual excellent re-
; suits which follow such deliberation.
The cold weather has set tho irrain
back in tho Grande, Rondo valley to
really an alarming extent. Of course,
wo still huve lots of .wheat, that is
something this ; valley always has,
but . the bumper crop is not nearly so
cheerful looking as it was a short
time ago. Another excellent reason
for abolishing wheat from the tables
of Union county.
All hmor to the Honor Guard girls,
and other Indies of La Grande for the
fine reception accorded the boys last
