"THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A WORLD CHAMPION" SAYS ONE
No Such "Varmint" Declares Bert Wier; the Game Changes Too Suddenly to Permit of Great Individual Boasts of Prowess

for some fresh territory where the
grass was longer.
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.

rangy beeves, of 28 4-5 seconds, This
is the best I have ever heard of, al
though I notice in the Wild Bunch
and the Billboard a list of the best
records and you have several boys
with a 21-second five-steer average,
when really 20 flat is the best evr
made on a single steer, and that was
made by my brother Charles at Cad
do, Okla., In September, 1914. 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.

more than six thousand teachers in our public

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

is all gone. The air is Just simply
too light. 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.

ing alonf the Blue mountain tops
and take off the snow there first, but
must not blow so hard on people as
to kill them. 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.

used to say-
"Gut out smoking." 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. Prove it for yourself.
