Will pass the contest game b lightly as I might be mistaken In some lines until I come down to my subject, the roping, as I certainly un derstand that, or think I should, it least, as I have been hanging around world's champion in the art of hog tying steers. If Jess Wlllurd was to get his nose mashed up and out classed two or three times a year, he would not he considered a champion any longer. There Is quite a difference in steers and not enough difference in about twelve ropers in the cow countries for a champ to live and do well.

Ed Hull is a fust but uncertain roper, having tied three single steers at dif ferent times in 21 seconds. Possibly some little poor doggies have been tied In less than 20 seconds on a short score, but no real stags, believe me. Clay McGonlgaWV record of 22, made at Tucson, Aril., stood up for seven years and In the opinion of the writer he was hard to course on as many as twenty steers up till 190-3, when he had the misfortune to have his right hip broken He was the greatest horseman the world ever produced. Perhaps I have said too much, but I just wanted to let the public know that such a "varmint" as a world's chatnp'on does not exist, as the re rrr-r r 41 ords of the several contests will prove, and Its dollars to doughnut li these should ever bt three mors big contests with the boys mention ed In attendance, that we'll Just sbouj develop three more world's champs. I knew d well a world's chim- plon steer roper does not exist only In the lobbies of hotels, bin or in the wildest of wild dreams.

Of the more than six thousand teachers in our public s hods. I'.l'T RJ 1'ER CENT are graduates of Nor mal .i houls. It is a matter of simple justice to the country Eist of the I'ascades to establish a Normal School East of the mountains to furnish thoroughly trained teachers for the schools of Eastern Oregon.

Isn't It worth this to you to have your children trained to become L'SE KI'L AND PRODUCTIVE citizens? STRONG ENDORSEMENT J A. Churchill the State Superintendent of Public instruction voire the sentiment of the educators of the state when he says: "Oregon's greatest need for its rural schools is the teacher who has had full preparation to do her work. Kuch preparation can best come through Normal School training. "I trust that the voters of the state will assist in raising t he standard of our schools by establishing a State Noimal K.hool at Pendleton. The location is central, the Interest of the people of Pendleton In education most excellent, and the large number of Jiutdta in the public schools will give ample oppor tunity to all students to get the amount of teaching praottri ic iii!ier ir, a standard normal sehool." The educators of the State insist that Standard Normal Schools be located in towns of popu lation or more and having ENOUGH GRADE PL'-J'II-S I'HR TEACHER PRACTICE.

It's true two or three boys from this southern country can tak a good horse and go into the north' west and win all the purses just like feeding mocking birds to a hungry tomcat. Up there the boys use s long rope and are all trying to ropa cattle afcot. The southern boys ar9 far ahead of the northern boys rop ing as the northern boys are ahead of the southern boys riding bucking horses. The purses are Just too small for roping to call out all the fast boys, but let Guy Weadick stage a blocker swinging with as many naughts to the prize list as the show at Winnipeg, and it will put such men as Clay McGonigal, Ed. Echols, Will and John Glenn, Bud Parker, Ed Hall, Joe Gardner, Ellisen Car roll, Ed Burgess, Johnnie Murrah. Will Hall and myself, who have not been in the game much for the last two years, on the screen again, which would change things not a little. My brothers George and Charley are as fast as any of the boys and have had easy sailing the last two years, but put the names above all out on the road and there is no such thin? as best. In passing I might say that Sioux City will hold a round-up which is putting up enough mono to make it worth while for any ot the above bunch to take a trip there. In four big-five steer contests held at El Paso, with all the above named boys in attendance, a new champ was developed every time. Joe Gardner, Will Glenn, John Glenn and myself. Will made the best average on five cattle and sure enough big.

And the young giant has obeyed this order ever since. Sometimes he forgets and comes with such a rush that everybody Is terri fied and all think that their houses are going to be thrown down and themselves turned out to freeze, as chances often in Dakota, ,but then the giant remembers his pledge, remits his anger, breathes softly on thi mountain tops and instead of dead men's bones there spring up daisies and buttercups and a myriad of star like flowers which the Umatilla In dians call Coyote Eyes in remem brance of Hpeelyai, the god Coyote, who saved Hjm from the dire ven geance of the young Chinook riant.

Now they say, "Smoke mild cigars." Many physicians go right to the point and recommend the Girard. WHY? , Because the Girard never makes you heavy or sluggish in mind or body. Doesn't effect your ap petite, your digestion, or your heart actios. And it's a man's smoke full of flavor, full of satisfaction The never gets on your nerves It is a genuine tropical cigar made from real Havana tobacco grown on Cuban soil, and mellowed by age alone. Then comes the exclusive Girard process of blending and finishing "the perfect smoke," TEN CENTS AND UP Your home dealer has the Girard or can get it for you. But while you're here at the Round-Up Get acquainted with the Girard at our store and club rooms The first smoke means a lifelong friendship. If you're interested in a cigar of lower price than the Girard, we recommend the "Dollar" a good smoke, a big smoke, made in sanitary factories by well -paid workmen. Every "Dol lar" assays one hundred cents in pure smoke-joy on your investment of a nickel in real money. The Doll&r Cigar 5c Straight is a worthy running-mate for the Girard. And thats saying something, because the Girard is the national cigar advertised, known, sold, and loved by smokers all over the Untied States. The friendliest cigar in the world.
