WII1.KE I'AKMEKS DON'T FA KM
This morning five carloads of Ne
braska hogs passed through L'matilK
County on the way to the packing
hou-es at Portland. Think of fat
hogs being shipped 2000 miles to mar
ket through the best hog raising dis- j
trict In the United States!
Think of a country free from chol

IX APPKKCTATIOX.
La.t spring when the matter of
vr.tins nut the saloons wa? before the
people "f Umatilla county, numerous
i-ubt.irr.ial but misguided citizens de
dared that If Jtueh a "catastrophe"
should be visited upon the county,
that all business would suspend, so-
'ety would be demoralized and the
towns of the county Id vanish
from the map.
So much for the prophecy. .Vow
for the faets.
On September 7. li'il, two months
after prohibition was voted on thfl
(oijhty, the public schools of pendic
le ri opened with an Increase of about
i per rent in atterubmr e over last
voir 'vh'-n there were about 30 sa
loons in Pendleton.
Iurlm; the months of July and
.'.vjru'-t every merchant In Pendleton
did a larK'-r cash business than In the
preceding July and Aurust when
there were about 30 saloons in th
city.
On Thursday, September 10, the
city rif Pendleton granted a street car
franchise to a company of capitalists,
something that had not been pre
xented to the city In a tangible condi
tion while Its 30 saloons flourished.
That Pendleton Is a better town
mill has better prospects today than
she ever hid, Is a fact borne out by
a thousand testimonials that are be
yond dispute and unanswerable. That
biiieer things are within reaeh of
Pendleton today than ever before Is
also Indisputable and absolutely certain.
In two years from now, It Is confi
dently expected that the entire state
of Oregon, Portland to the contrary
iii'twithstaudiiiir. will be as dry as the
Arizona desert, from a liquor stand
point, and Washington will not !
marly so juicy as at pivs-nt. either.
Th'nss are 'doing over the line and
soon the boast that Walla Walla is
irettinir I'niatllla county money In ex
change for booze will be an empty
taunt.
Hasten the day. good people.
THEY LIKE Till: LAW.
Although complicated with first
sicond and third choice- clauses,
features unknown In the Oregon pri
mary law, the primary law of the
state of Washington has given first-
IC.iss satisfaction in its first trial.
I The politicians were opposed to the
Washington primary law and fought
bitterly, but the people passed It.
' The same condition prevailed in Ore
I g'n. The same condition will prevail
I...,. .... .i ,
"iit'nin nut f air ii iiieMMiuiiii iioii-
Pcians. wherever there are men en-i
gaged In the game
of politics for;

Hut what has been true In Oregon I
and true In Washington, will be true
i
I if every state which adopts the prl- j
i niary law the people will be satis- i
! ficd, because it restores n. .Hem their
s. vereign rights as citizens. The
Spokesman-Review says of the law
i and its first trial in the state of Wash-
i n .t in
in;, iii .
In view of the large number of can
didates for many nominations to be
filled by Tuesday's primary election
land the variety and character of t ie

... .... ... ,
Only one candidate could be nonil-
''" u " eai.n pany wr t.un
to be filled, and every contest which
Evolves victory for the winner must
involve defeat and disappointment for
the men who lose.
But It is significant of the wide
spread satisfaction with the general
workings of the law that there has
been little bitterness in the contests
which this first experiment with Its
workings Involved.
The principle of majority or plu
rality rule Is deeply Implanted in the
minds of the American people as a
'"""""""'ns or me re.-pecue pariu. ,
Under the old convention system
almost every nominating convention j
iiivolvi'd contests for nominations
Mr. Hryan proposes, If elected, to
make John V. Kern a member of his
cabinet, says Success Magazine. His
original idea Is that the vice-president
nominated In a great national
convention should be something more J
than an ornamental office boy to the
t'nited States senate. If the Xebras
kan were running the household h?
would make Mary Ann stop playing
the piano and help with the dishes.
To Mr. Hryan's pVoposltion the only
Injection made thus far Is that It is
unconstitutional. Just what the mak
ers of that venerable document had
In mind when they created this office,
history does not state; they do say
that there were great Jokers In those
days.
We only know that every Ameri
can boy to'lay looks rorwara to me
time when he shall grow up and be
eligible to decline the nomination to
the vice-presidency, and that th!
American people have become pro
ficient athletes through long practice
l:i running away from this honor.
Since we are such sticklers for con
stitutionality, why not at least bring
that Instrument down to date? Of
what use Is a worn-out constitution
of the model of 1789?
We propose an amendment provid
ing that the vice-presidential nominee
be possessed of a fortune of not less
than a half million dollars (forfeit
able In caxe of escape); that he live
la a doubtful MiUe; that he be nom
inated tilelly so as not to wake the
delegates; and 'that his salary lie paid
by the comic weeklies.
The only alternative Is to make the
position one or real Importance, nnd
to elect to It men fitted to perform

It Is reported that the present de
pot at Krupp was mistaken the other
day for n chicken house. This Is the
way the story goes:
A prominent farmer In the vicin
ity of Krupp, expecting a chicken cmip
to arrive, sent one of his hands, a
newcomer, to feach It.
On arriving in town the man saw
the depot: loaded it on his wagon and
started for the ranch.
On his way back he met a man In
uniform with the word "agent" on his
cap.
"Hold on," cried the official
"What have ypu got on that wagon?"
"My boss' chicken coon," was the
reply.

This Is the story of a remarkable
solution of the secret of success In
farming on a small scale, chiefly for
the benefit of those who cannot af
ford to buy large tracts of land and
would not be able to work them It
they could. So writes H. I). Jones hi
the Technical World Magazine for
July. To pique the curiosity of the
reader, let It be first explained. In all
seriousness, that If a farm cultivated
in this way s leased It should be un
derstood that when the tenant moves
he is at liberty to take the soil with
him.
The soil used In this method of
farming must be of unusual richness.
The story begins with the efforts or
two women to gain a livelihood from
Mother Nature. They leased fiv
acres of land in llerkshlre, England,
litter they found that five acres was
too much land, and that they could
find full work for themselves and for
students who flocked to them to learn
how it was done, with profit for all.
on a piece of ground less than half
the size of that first taken.
The teachers of the women were a
French gardener and his family, w h i, '
with an acre of land In France, sold
$2500 worth of produce In a year.
The scene at the farm Is thus describ
ed by one who visited It and made
the photographs that go with the ar
tlcle.
In a bare plowed field stands a
square palisade of zinc plates enclos
ing about three-quarters of an acre.
Pehlnd it the French gardener ami
the women who lease the land have
wrought what looks like a sheer mir.
acle to anyone unacquainted with the
system.
The ground Is covered with Invert
ed bell glasses of the kind known In
Europe as clot hers, t'uder each hell
at the time this writer visited the
farm were five lettuces. Lettuces
were growing around the hells and

ditties, but from the use of Peruna 1 am
almost restored to health. 1 am quite
convinced timt it has helped me from

It has also benefited my throat.
"I can truly recommend it as the best
all-rouud medicine it has been my priv
ilege to liecome acquainted with.
"Of this 1 am quite convinced from my
own experience."
Mr. W. C. Rollins, Prairie View,
Texas, Secretary of the State Normal
and Industrial College of Texas, write
that for years he had chills and fever,
and after taking Peruna lils appetite
returned, he Invame stronger, the fever
left him, and be is now in excellent
health and vigor.
Pe-ru-na Tablets.
Some people prefer to take tablets,
rather than to take medicine in a fluid
form. Such people can obtain Peruna
tablets, which represent the medicinal
Ingredients of Peruna. Each tablet Is
equivalent to one average dose ot Pe
runa, other vegetables sown broadcast were
coming up everywhere. In each of rt
number of frames four feet square
were 30 lettuces, a mass of carrots
and cauliflower.
The entire secret of the growth of
these products before the regular sea
son Is In the cropping and the soil.
Every Inch of the soil bears nt least
three crops a year, each of them an
ticipating the season and therefore
producing fancy prices.
This remarkable method of making
every Inch of land count Is described
ia detail by the writer and the article
is Illustrated with Very Interesting
photographs.
