The diHitster last night off Die coast of Rhode Island, in which 34 officers and men are reported to have per ished when a submarine was rammed, is a most unfor tunate happening. It is especially unfortunate at this time when the spotlight of public attention is turned on the lutvy department. Such accidents are apparently inevitable in the natural course of peace time activities, yet the loss is one that will bring mourning to the nation. j I , FER GrOSH SAKtSV CtO OP ' A &3 PAPER , I jj UET 'EF?

CLUB WORK- AT THE FAIR. The County Fair at Elgin is always a good fair and has ltjany distitict advantages that produce benefits for the entire county. To those unaccustomed to the work beinff ( dpne in agricultural communities it must be astounding to see the fine exhibits of varied farm products. The di versity of displays shows how little the valley is dependent on one crop or one product. Surely it is a marvelous em pire in which we live, a wonderful valley that goes iihciid each year in production regardless of farm population de- lfut the displays of farm crops at Elgin' are not the most important things of the fair. It is the entry of the boy or girl who is active in club work over the county that is most impressive. The young stock that they own, feed, and care for represents some of the choicest in the valley and in the state. It is the interest the boys and girls take in the club woik and the competition they enjoy at Elgin that is the important thing. They learn good stock, they discover how it can best be cared for, how much it costs to provide feed, what gains are made in weight, what profit or loss can be shown in a given animal. They reecivo a basic training that will prove invaluable in later years: they have early experiences that sell them on the idea of an agricultural occupation; a foundation is laid that means much in the development of good business people and good citizens who will be able to contribute in .large measure to the Jiogiess and prosperity of Oregon. Such work as is done by the Calf club, which has its local climax at. the Elgin Fair each year, ts most valuable, i:nd every encouragement should be given the fine boys and girls who have such interests. .DOYLE'S DOLEFUL DOPE. On the principle of "you never can tell" which impelled the elderly lady to pay homage to Satan, it would be run ning unnecessary risk to' treat lightly Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's warning to a wicked world. Sir Arthur is in re ceipt of messages from the spirits informing him that n great catastrophe hangs over us. Unfortunately, the mes sages have been so vague, probably due to static (this is our guess, not his statement), that he doesn't know much I'.bout what is coining off, except that it's a-plenty. lie is able to assert confidently this much: the catastro phe will last three years; the suffering and destruction which will result are to be taken as a chastening for the evils of today, and England will escape more lightly than any other nation. Ho offers no explanation of the leniency to be granted his own country, but we find a clue in his cbscrvation that, "the world has grown far too materia'; we must be taught that life has a spiritual and not a ma terial purpose. We believe implicitly in the theory of spiritual chaslor. ing by nieans of physical chastisement. Jt is not in our heart, therefore, to question in the slightest the verity of the Doyle dope. A great catastrophe hangs over the world. Jt has been hanging for quite a while. We have had not only warnings of it, but not a few demonstrations. In fact, the chastening of man has been going on for age v.ithout any letup. It has to go on, for the one thing on which man is unalterably determined is that he doesn't want to !e chastened.

COURT CORRESPONDENTS MUST 8UBMIT THEIR NAMES TO TflE EDITOR IP THEY DE SIRE LETTERS PRINTED. ji Grande, Ore., Sept. 26, '2?. Editor of The Observer: There has recently developed a great detil of controversy, some legul conflict nnd a few near physical encounters between the La, Grande board of education, their representative. Superinten dent, J. T. LoiiHfellow, versus the pa t ro ns a n d pit ren ts of f o j rt h grade pupils at Central school. Miss Mcliaftey, who .teehejj the fourth Krade, had under Iwr' bMpervision 44 boys nnd girls, al though the law specifies not mo.e than SC. Entirely too many scho lars for any one teacher to at tempt to instruct. Although a nobln -effort la beinp made, it hi physically and mentally too greit a Htruln on the teacher nnd a hurried. Insufficient Instruction to the child h ould result. Now the school fathers would remedy this congested condition by picking out seven pupils from thhj vast number and forcing them to attend Willow school. The parents refuse to send their children to Willow or re move their books from Central school. They have appeared in person before the board of educa tion and gave many snbslanti-il reasons why they preferred not to nmke such a change. These small children must cross the imiln line of the O. W. It. A N. railroad. In cold and stormy weather per hups have to stand in u blinding Btorin for many min utes for trains to puss.
