Settling of Patronage There is little use to kick or com plain or to praise the handing out of political patronage in this Hay a no' age. It is different from years ago when a whole comnuinily took sided and fought it out as to who should be postmaster or some other officer. Nowadays the Associated I'rci.i tells the story of who wins and tho next dny everything is quid and peo- pic have forgotten almut the offices or officers. j The days of nursing grudges or holding jn high esteem the eongress- man who delivers Uie pacrtngn ticdj up with a neat blue ribbon are ail! over. It is probably just as well, for many men who have prominent plac es in public life nowadays refuse t give endorsements of candidates or take part in the apportioning of places. This was in evidence when Kdgar H. (Piper, of the Oregoninn, probably the ono mun in position In the state to have urged appointments, refused to take a mind! iu the recent federal job contest even though his brother was a candidate. We are living differently, socially and politically. Perhaps it is better perhaps not. Those were good old days when primaries were held andj the candidate for postoffiee who car ried his precinct for the congressman) felt that his bucccss was assiiced. Itj at least gave pep to polities. Much an those days were interesting they have gone forever and henceforth pol-j iticnl patronage is a liability to anyj officer rather than an asset. ' Eastern Oregon shakes out of the recent federal job-giving with no iin-! portnnl place all jobs have been giv- ell to Portland and the Willamette valley, demonstrating again that the' country east of the mountains is a-'i adopted child in Oregon and is largely fit for taxpaying in (lie eyes of tho lower country Hul, d.n't kicV The world has im time to li,rn lo U-ks and then what's the use, anywny ' The people of this MVi mn are much' more interested n..w in .ome smie' earnest legislation tli.it mil heln ih-country. - - o The G ramie Rondo JIok ranchers had lots of hogs to sell theyj were more prosperous. Hut the tren was to bigger things and they hit into! cattle and sheep, leaving the hog houses to rot and go down. We all know what has happened tn the cat'lo ami sheep business, and now everyone! wants hogs. J Over in Union'. part of the county people are paying premiums to get, hogs to feed. Barley is low aud wheat that will not s'and the test is low no hogs to eat it. j What we need is a constant stream of hogs going to market from the e two counties. ( Some fanners say, "We tried and lost money." Of course you (fid aud you have tried other things and lost' money. No one is smalt enough to mak-j money on everything all the time. Hut j hogs, one year with another, is as safe a business as one can find. Ask' the man who has stuck to the hojjj und see what he says. Hogs don't require herders iwr camp tenders; they don't require au-j tomobilcs, neither do they require highj priced land or a big outlay for rang.'.' And the hog comes nearer staying in harmony with the price of feedj than any other animal. When feelj iu low hogs will he low, but let fee.li advance and the hog price respond;' quicker by far than does the price' of any other meat animal. Hesides, there is always a inarkelj for JLhe hog. He will always bring1 some money. When your note is ilu. at the bank and you have a pen filled "We could not live longer under the condilious ami there was nothing to do but fight it out. 'Kvery settler joined in the fight and we had a fine battle, I tell you Oh, yes, a number of the white men were wounded and several Indians were sent to the, hap py hunting ground from which even a Kedman has never been known to K'llll II." I' would be highly proper for the piuuter day to fall on the anniversary of this battle ju d for.the sentiment it will cany lo-Hie present generation. Seiitimen: is quite a thing you know, remove it from life and you have noth ing but eight per cent interest left. All agree that eight per cent is essen tial to the general scheme of living but it U a dry subjert and easily figured., Of course, (hi? price of prunes had to drop. Everything that comes from the :;oi is on the f'boggan slide. Things which factories produce are being held up as much as the fight for higher prices can aecompish. Hut, lf.acn, one. of these days the soil products will go higher and higher it has to come no eoun-ry can live with the unbalanced condition we have to day. .

The altera'ions which bear directly upon the play begin with Rule 4. Here i: is made clear that when time is called for the end of-a game, or a period, and a fair catch has been ma le, the team making the fair catch shall have the privilege of the kick, but. may net put the ball in scrimmage. In Rule , the word "illegal'' has been added so that the rule applie not only to an incompleted forwani pa but also to an illegal one. Rule 7 has been altered so that it now ac cords with cutom.
