Of Course it didn't happen r.nd probably was not within the realm of possibility, but just supposin', we'll say, that LaFollette had been elected to the presidency, what kind of a chief executive would Wheeler have made when Bob had passed on? The stale motor association has issued u warning' against solicitors seeking to get easy money from merchants, garages, oil stations, etc., for space in road guides, maps, highway books, and similar publication when the distribu ' ion is not official, not wide, and is generally of little value, ft is a warning that should be heeded.

With present indications that will be a tremendous thing for the Pendleton country. Wallowa and Union counties also prom ise a return that will be a big stop toward better agricul tural prosperity. And all three counties suffered a heavy loss in winter wheat. In Maker county they have more hay than the country has known in twenty years, according to some of the big ranchers. Eastern Oregon is trying to tlake a rapid come-back this season, RECKONING MAN LOSS IN WAR. , Revised estimates of the losses in the World war as given by a writer in Current History show that 8,471,59.") men were killed, in that conflict. The wounded number 21, 099,035. put of. 64,683.810 engnged one out of eight was killed aiidj one' oul of three wounded. On the basin of num bers under amis Rumania sustained the heaviest deaiii losses, nearly half of her forces being killed. The United States suffered the least comparatively, our late entry into the military operations contributing to that result. The percentage basis of casualties does not state the case quite fairly for the American forces. For the time our soldiem were in combat service and for the mimbe. thus engaged wo lost quite as heavily as some of the others, though in the aggregate the loss is slight in comparison with nations fighting for more than four years. In mim )er killed Germany ranked first with 1,773,000, Trance lost 1.357,800, Austria Hungary 1,200,000, and Grent Britain 908,371. Our loss is placed at 50,380 killed and 206,690 wounded. Rare figures do not convey much information. Thev lire too abstract. If two out of every three persons in the United States had been mobilized and placed under arms the number would have equalled the forces engaged in Hi? war. The killed approached the entire population of Penn sylvania. The wounded were as numerous as the people in New York, Pennsylvania and Oklahoma combined. These are losses of man-power. If the other losses in cidental to the war were included- the list would le extended greatly. And not all would be of a material character. There were losses sustained that cannot be reckoned in Tiumliers of men nor in dollars and cents, yet are a part ( f the loss.

Diphtheria antitoxin has been in urn for nlmoHl thirty yeurn, yet In tlr.Kon, in I91!4, 107 deatlm from dlphlherla were reported, and there were probably more. How many of them deathB were necewHury, and how many could have been avoided? It has been shown that when antitoxin 1h Klven on the first day of the dln eutte, only ?.J per cent of the eaacn die. while by the aecond day the percentage ha risen to 7.S.

The damage in done by a poison or toxin, which It manufactures and which in curried all over the body by the blood.

Af 1 it the toxin has once attacked Ihe hotly, anliloxln can no longer ni'Utratliee It. for the damage is lone, Therefore the antitoxin must be glv. n early enough to forestall damage of the body by the toxin. Antitoxin Is u perfectly pormnl sub stance, which is formed by all bodiis Infected with diphtheria. What we do Is to anpplv an extra Amount, to supplement that which in nut ura lly beimr formed, but which is formed too jdowly to pre vent dumtiMe to the oyKtciu and pos sible death. The parent must remember that : 1. )iphtherin Is dangerous but most rumble at the start. Call a doctor AT OM'K if the child has sore threat or auspicious symptoms. 2.

Im tnediately after the sessions of the Zionist Organization I ladtiHsati, the women's Zionist orgiinl.ution will opn its-lfdh nnnnal cunvi'ii- tlon, which will also continue for two days. The Zionist convcnlion will d"- clde oicstlons of pulley with re gard to future operation of the ltrltish mandate In the Holy Land, upon which American Zionist leaders will nutke ti ib-termlncd fight otjlhe world. Zionist con gress which will be held In VI- una beginning August IS. In mlditlon to celebrating the advances made in upbuilding Pal estine during the past year, as represented in Ihe opening of the Hebrew university on Mount Sco pus, and the big strides In immi gration and colonization, the chi.-f Interest in the convention centers about the resolutions tn he s ih- mitted to the world congress at Vienna on the Jewish Agency and Great Hrltntn' administration ur t he eounlry under its league of nations. American Zionist leaders, head ed by l.ouls l.ipsky, general chair man of the Zionist Organization of America, are strongly backing r. Ch aim Welzinann, president of the World Zionist. Organization. Ill extending the Jewish Agency to Include non-Zlonlsts as well as Zionist s. The Pah-sl Ine mandate of the league nf nat Ions provides that the upbuilding of Palestine as the Jewish homeland shall be conducted In cooperation with the Jewish Agency, which shall con sist of the World Zionist Organi zation until otherwise changed. The World Zionist Organization is ut present functioning as the Jew ish Agency, hut as a resilt of Or. Welzmunn's policy, in which he has been backed by the lend ers of the present American Zion ist ndn.inlstru.tlon. the agency is to be expanded to Include 5o p-;r cent Zionists and 5u per non-Zionists, despite Die strong opposition of some Kuropeun Zionists. On Dr. Welxmann's last trip to Anierlcu. steps were taken to or ganize the American branch of the agency on this basis, undT the .direction of a committee headed by l.ouls Marshall, and with the cooperation of lending Zionists and non-Zionists. With many Kuropenn Zionists expect ing to fight this extension of -the agency at the Vienna congress, an opposition Is probable also among American .'ionisls. who at ihe Washington convention, will attempt to defeat Or. Welamnnn's diagram, known In Europe as the "American rian." I Another resolution which will be closely watched will be with regard to the British ndminlstr i-' tlon of the ' Palestine mandate, as many Zionists have expressed themselves as being disappointed with Great Urituin's policy in the Holy I -und. i In addition to being the larg-' est convention in the htstbry of the Zionist movement in America, the 1!H!6 gathering will definitely mark the closing of the breach which has existed among the Zion ists of this eounlry since their Cleveland convention in 1021, when Or. Stephen S. Wise, Jus tice l.ouls I. Hrandels and Jud'e Julian W.
