Earlier this month the Eagles took a decision In La Grande, 6 to 5. The Eagles were without their best pitcher, Courtney, and the Cove slug gers hit both Case and Hall consist ently. The Eagles hit the ball regu larly, only three fanning during the game, but usually plopped the pill smack Into somebody's mitt. M.

Psa. 20 :7. A BREATHING SPELL Congress at last has concluded its long session, and now the nation can settle back for a few months' breathing spell. More than 18,000 bills were introduced, affecting almost every phase of national life, and though most of the bills were of minor importance, there were so many momentous problems under discussion that business and industry could not help but feel uneasy while congress was in session. Adjournment puts an end to that vague uneasiness. There were about 500 bills passed, which figure is actually smaller than that of the previous long session, and considering the economic conditions of the past two years, suprisingly few of the bills passed involve any radical principles which might frighten conservative business men and industrial leaders.. Now they at least know what's what. The exasperating problem of raising sufficient taxes to meet the mounting treasury deficit has been settled, so that business and industry may adjust themselves to the differ ences brought about by sales taxes and increased income taxes. And the organization of the Reconstruction Finance corporation, together with the passage of the soundly con structed two billion dollar relief bill, will be a steadying factor. t , . " " It is customary to expect, even in normal periods, a con siderable slump in business and industry while congress is in session, especially during the year of a presidential elec tion. The adjournment, on the other hand, usually brings relief from that period of uncertainty. Apparently this year will be no exception, for though the winner of the presidential election cannot be determined this far in ad vance, the general opinion is that the nation is at last on the up grade and will continue so, regardless of the outcome of the election. Indications of improvement in economic conditions are daily becoming more numerous the latest being the report of an advance of 4.7 per cent in commodity prices during the past month, which is the greatest gain recorded since the boom days of 1929. That is the one sign of improvement which economists have been straining their eyes to see. When farmers and manufacturers experience rising com modity prices, better times are definitely on the way, for that signifies depleted stocks, increased demand, and re covery from stagnation. When prices are going down, no one wants to buy for fear they will go lower; but when prices begin to climb, every one who can will buy before they go any higher. Right there is the one irresistable factor which is working inevitably toward the restoration of normal economic conditions throughout the nation. THE WAR DEBTS America, in spite of her boasted isolation and self-sufficiency, is responsive to world conditions. To a great degree the depression in the United Slates is the result of world wide disorder. Our economic troubles are international, as well as national. Therefore the agreement reached between Germany and the Allies on the reparations qustion may have, and reason ably may lie expected to have, an important effect on the wel fare of the United States. Germany's creditors settled with her on a basis of her economic and political crisis; and the other parties to the agreement are no longer left in doubt as to this financial and political issue. Among the inevitable fruits must be less unrest and more trade in Europe, and the more buying I'lid selling Europe does the greater America's exports. Gcrmanys creditors settled with her on a basis of her ability to pay and with the predetermined purpose of call ing upon Uncle Sam for the cancellation of their war debts. They have lieen and will be accorded the same treatment Germany was shown. The American people are in no belter position to cancel the war debts than the Allies are to pay them, but never will it be said of the former that they exacted a pound of flesh. The debtor nations will be asked to pay no more than they are able to pay. stadium for those six gruelling days can really appreciate his desire to get back to Montana and rest.

This Is possible without resorting to martial law by Inducing the civic courts to proceed with the utmost dispatch In imposing the death pen alty upon the guilty. The governor admitted that "bans cn uniforms and demonstrations were rescinded on condition that the elec tion campaign would be conducted in an orderly manner, but that this condition was not fulfilled." As for the national socialist threat to arm the storm troops if the gov ernment did not proceed against dis orderly elements of the left, it was stated the government in no case will tolerate the arming of any politi cal organization. The statement Indicated the gov eminent regards the communists as ; the chief trouble-makers and that the new decree was directed chiefly against them. j FALKS Keep Your Skin Blossom Fresh with COLONIAL DAMES COSMETICS The burning summer sun , plays havoc with your com plexion unless you safeguard It with very best cosmetics.

New York. He was Franklin Delano Koosevelt, now Democratic nominee for the ji residency, then, due to his mother's eflorts, one of the best-dressed boys in the county. His mother was Sarah Delnno Roosevelt, wife of James Roosevelt, Franklin's father, and distant cousin of President Roosevelt. But thouiih his mother dressed htm up she did not baby him. With the other young bloods of the neighbor hood he played baseball. He was rlghtfleidcr on hla team which vig orously opposed n team made up of the sons of the gardeners and em ployes of the estates in the neigh borhood. There were fights and Franklin fought, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. His mother saw to It that Frank lin's many questions were answered. Even be fore the ae of 10 he was schooled in foreign languages by tu tors on the old 600-acre Roorevelt estate in Hyrie park. He made sev eral trips abroad with his mother, who always took along one of his playmates. Once while yet a youth he sailed a boat all the way to Eistport. Me., from New York harbor. In a squall. He wanted to be a sailor; so much so. in fiict. that arguments flew thick and fast in the family as to whether he might seek entrance to the U. S. naval academy at Annapolis. His mother's will prevailed and Instead he went to Groton. a pre paratory school, thence to Harvard and a law decree, into politics and now into the Democratic presidential nomination. He might have been a naval officer, but his mother's direc tion may make him president. He was a tall and hancsomc youth when he was graduated from Har vard, regarded as a catch by many u young lady, but his choice went back to childhood to a giri he had known then. She was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt a distant relative and the daughter of Elliott Roosevelt, brother of Pres ident Roosevelt.
