Right now all Oregon knows about dollar wheat, is .what. itV reads ;in the papers! . A SPLENDID MOVE . 1 Co-operation on the part of the city of La Grande, the K, 0. ,L;,& P. Co.nnd'tlie Vest Coast Telephone Co. with the Lions club which is sponsoring', opening ,of Crystal, Plunge, stands forijh nS a praiseworthy move. 'Tliis is the' second . year, that the Ljons have fathered, a. swAmrnang pool' at mini mum prices for kiddies and adults. Last year they were 80 cents ','in the red" when the season was over) bu.t . miles ahead of the game in knowledge of service performed for ., their.. connaunity. This is one of. tlie. finest thiugs the Lions have done in La Grande and each and every' member is en titled to his share of credit. ' ' : ' -, .'J. 1 NOT MUCH EXCITEMENT Here it is only a little over -a week until the special elec tion July 21, and Where's the usual excitement? With the exception of campaigns for and-against-the sales tax, and some activity concerning the proposed repeal of the X8tti amendnient and tho .-state dry laws, there .seems no particular activity except for court action that apparently has halted .a vote on the grange power bill. Can it be that John Citizen already has his mind made A as to now lie wm.voto, and therefore refuses to get all hot W bothered; or is it that rising prices and signs of better tini.es overshadow a inere election? TYPOGRAPHICAL ERROR As you say, "She may be empty, but ' I'll tell the world she's clean !" But when the -sheet is printed and is out , ' upon the mail, On its, way to the subscribers, I have never seen it fail Inj the center Of the frqnt page, in a most conspicuous place, Some typographical error fairly kicks -' you in the face. - For the typographical error is a slippery thing and sly, ' vYou cart hunt-till you are dizzy, but t somehow will get by; i'Till the' forms are off the presses it is strange how still it keeps, ' : It shrinks down intothe corner and it never stirs or peeps. . . That typographical11 error is too small for human eyes, Till the "ink is on the paper, when it grows to mountain size, ' And you see that blasted error, far as ' you could throw a dog, Looming up in.all its splendor,-like a lighthouse in a fog! That glaring blunder juts out like an ' ulcerated tooth, Whore it dodged the eagle vision of the napping comma sleuth. ' It is sure too late to mind it, but it fills your soul-with rage, As you see it swelling loudly in the middle of the page. The boss . he stores with horror, then he grabs his hair and groans, . , The copy reader drops his head upon his hands and moans t The remainder of the issue may be clean as clean can1 be, . But that typographical error is the only thing they see. It was down.among the six-point till .. the copy was all read, When it shifted into blackface or a two inch banner, head . . :Then when the sheet was printed it jumped up and hollered "Boo! .You never saw me, did you? -This is sure a horse on you !"

With the exception of spring wheat and rye, Oregon crop prospects as a- whole on July 1 showed considerable Im provement over a month ago, accord ing to a report by the federal division of crop and livestock estimates here today. , Spring wheat, most of the acreage of which Is made up of rcseeded land on which the fall-sown winter wheat was killed, showed a ten-point drop from the relatively high condition re ported a month ago. Rye was down four points. STATE CALLS WARRANTS SALEM, July 11 (P) Call of $467, 000 of general fund warrants stamp ed not paid for want of funds" was announced today by the state treas' urer.

COTTON MILLS ON A 40-HOUR WEEK ASSEMBLY GIVEN BY GRADE SCHOOL THE NEW FRONTIER One of the reasons why America always came out of its 10th century depressions so completely was that it always had a frontier awaitinir fievnianmnnt.. Wlmn inHiisil rinl at.,.- nation m the east had reached a certain point, the country could turn west, rojl.up its sleoves and proceed to pull another section of the frontier into the fold; and before it got through it discovered that the depression was gone. No one needs to be told today that the old frontier is no more. We haven't any vast undeveloped spaces along the western horizon any longer; none, at least, that wo can use just now. But wo have a new frontier these days, if we only stop' to recognize it, and it can servo us today precisely us the old western frontier served us a generation or two ago. Our new frontier is loss tangible .than the old ones, and you won't find it on any map. It includes practically all of industry and nearly all of agriculture. The pioneers who are attackine it are the workers, tlie farmers and the business men of the United States; ttioir map still a bit rough and uncertain, in. spots is the .combined industrial recovery and farm relief program.' It isn't just a figure of speech to say that all of this stands as a new frontier. The old, physical frontier l-epiisented an obstacle to be cfflifiuered, new paths & be found, jobs0 to beofilled, daring decisions to be made with a now space in whifli men and women could establish homes, bring up ehildroft and hunt for happiness as tlie prize. e This licv froi-r represents exactly the same foiing. It is a challenge, just asJp old one w;$, to our daring, our ingenuity and w dunt'e. Beyond it there liesnothing less thnft a ne order of living waiting0 U be wploited. The possibilities are a? unlimited as any tjiat an early pjyneer saw whendio elided ai unexplored mounlain peak and looked off to thewest. & The present moment is the endbf a depression, but it is also something more important; it is the beginning of a new era. The future can bo finer than anything in our past has been, if we just recognize our new frontier and tackle it as a frontier should be tackled. In tlio Park' gnni-d 8.
