Hum), many years mai me Grande Ronde and Wallowa valleys form an oasis in a vast stretch of Eastern Oregon that is so frequently regarded by outlanders as being merely long, dry plains covered with grains and sagebrush. We have both, it is true, but we're nir irom Doing ciroutn-atricKen, in fact, we have every reason to more thoroughly convince us than ever that we are far more favored by Mother Nature than our neiirlibniu tr north and south and east and west. We regard it not as a compliment that Union and Wallowa counties were not listed in the drouth area; rather we regard it as just recognition that we're living in a little spot in the Inland Empire where crop failures are unknown and the true significance of the word "drouth" little understood be cause real drouth has never been experiencd, and probably never will. The Weather Commit thy way unto the Iord shall bring it to pass. trust also in Him; and he THE DOt; I'OISONEK Two dogs were poisoned in La Grande this week, one a family pet, the other n valued hunting dog. Owners of both insist the animals never caused anyone discomfort or inflicted damage on property belonging to a neighbor. Yet today two faithful canine friends are missing, and we presume there is someone who gloats in the knowledge he or she wiped out tho two. It is hard to understand the warp of a viscious mind that will put strychnine or some other deadly poison in a piece of meat and cunningly place the death potion where a dumb beast will find it. A dumb beast who all its life has been fed by kind human hands, and who with faith in humankind doesn't know enough to scorn a piece of food a bit out of the beaten path. It must be a peculiar vengeance that the poisoner enjoys, knowing full well that the death of tho animals brings tears to the eyes of little ones, a choking of the throat to the adult who sees the grief of his child as well as feels keenly the loss of a family pel. It is an odd idea of vengeance to thus overbalance tho knowledge of the suffering in human hearts the killing of pet animals brings. It is dimcult indeed to understand the queer quirks that must exist in the minds of a dog poisoner. It must be that there is mean spile, some faculty that brings devilish pleas ure in inflicting pain on others, some twist in mentality that erases anility to enjoy things that other neonle eniov. Y have never considered the penalty for such act severe enough. One so unbalanced to indulge in this practice is not n safe being to be allowed, when caught, any further privileges of human society to which he is most certainly a menace. Alcoholic Nose Drowns Out Hay Fever Is Claim EASTERN OREGON'S OASIS Comes news now from Oregon's U. S. Squalor Frederick Sleiwer that Umatilla and tinker counties, along with several other Eastern Oregon counties, have been added to the of ficial drouth zone, thus making ranchers in these sections eligible to sell cattle and sheep to the government to be slaughtered for relief purposes. Perhaps there are some in Union and Wallowa counties, who feel that this section has been discriminated against by failure to include it in the drouth zone; perhaps they feel that fanners in these two counties also should be given an opportunity to sell half starved stock to Uncle Pam for a nice price. Perhaps they are right, but Where are the half-starved stock? A little over a month ago the Semi-Centennial U. P. celebration committee here was seriously worried localise it couldn't find a half-starved noise to appear in tho historical prologue of the Saturday pageant. It was two or three weeks before such a horse could be found, and the reason one could count his ribs was because he was toothless and couldn't eat the rich forage that nature so abundantly supplied in Union and Wallowa counties this year. Ranges in this section are not what would be expected in s drouth area this year, and livestock is doing probably bet ter than in many years regarded as normal. Possibly' some think Union and Wallowa counties should 1k included in the drouth area so that our ranchers could find a new market for their scrubbier stuff, but we disagree. It seems to us that the fact that Union and Wallowa coun ties were not included in the drouth zone, while all ncijrhlxr mg counties were so designated, is simply another proof of Old German Flag Coes Into Discard CLEVELAND m A method ol producing tui alcoholic none which drowns hay fever Is reporu-d toy My ron Mctzcnbuum, M.

During that time the nose becom-es somewhat Immune to the sufferings of hay lever, roitt fever, hay fever Ofttmna, and to some form of autumn oolds. The alcohol Is Injected Into the In ferlor nasal turbinate bodies. These. Dr. Mcterbaum points out, arc the most sensitive and tl most respon slve areas In the now. They are the causes of sneezes, of tears a;id swell ing of tike nasal tissues. Dr. Metr-mbaum has given the al cohol Injections from a week to three months lu advance of expected at tacks. "The jKltlents." he suites, "hove varied In age from rather young ohll divn to the chronic sufferer of mid dle age. In all cafles there has been seme amelioration of the patient's Ir ritating symptoms and tiielr extreme nnsal dlucamfort. "This may be due only to the tem porary or prolonged contraction of the Inferior turbinate bodies result- lug In freer nasal ventilation and drainage.

Iilake.-lee (Assoclnted Prons Science Editor) NEW YORK At Pour New York physicians, submtuing to the scratch of Infant!!.- puralyils vaccine needlea, have Joined a dramatic but unnunu bered company of doctors who have volunteered their own bodies for ex- jwnmcni tne "silent partners" of medical dturovcry. Tho New Yorkers are trying one of tne urst paruiysis vaccines to be used on human beings. Heretofore such vaccination has been too dan gerous and doubtful for anything ex cept animal'j. They say they are tak ing no risks, that It's nothing to talk about. That phrase "nothing to talk about" pictures the whole com pany, past and present, and the sort of courage they possess, a bravery tlmt does without boasting. Although medical men say there have been thousands of such celf-expertmcnts. medical literature runs true to form it doesn't record th-m any bettor than the physicians themselves. Victim Or 1mii.slIloii Eearch of the great library of the New York Academy of Medicine fail ed to produce even one comprehen sive printed list of such heroes. Field ing H. Gardner 'a history of medicine listed 2(i names ati medical martyrs. beginning with Servetus, who died in i lfi)3. not from his experiments, but ! for his opinions, lie discovered the blcod relationship between heart nnd lungs. But it was the Inquisition which got htm for heresy. In Gardner's list Is the most fa- , mous recent example Jesse W. La zaer who gave his life fighting yel low fever. He was on the staff or Walter Reed in Cuba, at Las Animas hospital, where a small group felt certain the mosquito carried the In fection. Lnzaer saw a mosquito in a yellow fever ward light on h'.-- hand. Ho did not brush it off, but let It bite. Five days later he came down with a fatal case of yellow fever. Ills Test Disproved Pettenkofer, a German phvslclan. took millions of cholera bacilli to prove that they do not cause the dis ease. He did not catch It. But later his theory and hts grave test were disproved, nnd he became no despon dent at the age of 83 that he com mitted suicide. John Hunter, the English physi cian, is one of the notable stories. There was a dispute about two vene real diseases. It was thought the same organism caused both. To prove differently Hunter inoculated himself with what lie thought was one or ganism, the milder of the two., Through a mistak? he pot both and OHANtiK HALL I'LltSONAI.S g A dozen women were in attendance for the meeting when the Count rv womans club met last Friday after noon with Mrs. Sara Golden."

The principal fenture of the study theme, which was the United States, was a contest in which Mrs. Grace Orout's sl;Jj won. Mrs. Anson also called on each person present to name the state in which she was born and to tell something about it. Before adjourn ment Mrs. Golden, assisted bv Mrs. Betty Penland, served a tray lunch. The club will hold its next meeting at the home of Mrs. Grace Grout. Mrs. Betty Penland was named as program chairman. Mr, and Mrs. Charles Smutz. Mi-ss Dorothy Smutz, Mrs. J. h.

Chapman and his fact finding com mittee held hearings In Colorado. Utah. Idaho, Wyoming and Montana. He said th-a committee would leave nere early In September to hold an other series of preliminary confer encea to discover the w:-iiu nnn problems or stockman and local of. iiclals In Nevada.

"Wlillc no definite policy has been established as yet. it is most prob able t.iat the stockman miiur the varlcus districts will be askJti to elect n advisory ccmmittt-j to consult with the supervisor of the district. We expect this committee largely to administer regulations within the district.
