C. and at the state uni versity at Eugene. Though doubtless made from good motives the sugges tion is absurd because it calls for disregarding the most im portant of the established rules governing the location of nor tr;al schools. The United States bureau of vducation specifies first of all that a normal school should be located in a large town situat- ed so as to most effectively .-icrve the territory involved and lays down the principle that no normal school can serve a territory from which it is geographically remote. Every educator knows that Tthese principles are sound. All Meators know that the pres 'aiit trouble arises from the fact cXe aioT.mouth normal school serves only the Willamette valley and does virtually noth ing for eastern Oregon or for southern Oregon. The Journal's suggestion therefore is that the portion of the state already well supplied on the score of normal instruc tion be given two additional schools, making three institu tions within a radius of a few miles, while eastern Oregon and southern Oregon remain out in the cold. What the East , Oregonian thinks of that idea could be ex pressed more clearly were newspapers published on as bestos paper. In the meantime we will onlv mention that this :-ectionif the state is of vol canic origin isnd .that there is otill Home brimstone lying around. PROSPERITY HALTS RECRUITING fore the House Naval Commit tee. High wages in civil life proved a serious check to en listments. When any able bodied man can find work to bis taste at good pay, the. pic tures and glowing pleas dis played on the recruiting posters lose the power of appeal. In any plans to increase the strength of the army or navy it is oouna to be a serious problem to secure men for the service m sufficient number. If congress last spring had pro vided for an increase of the regular army to 500,000 men or had adopted the Garrison scheme in all its details, it would have made little differ ence. On paper there would be a new system of army reor ganization, but the shortage in enlistments, as it is today, would have to be faced. It must be recognized 33 an obvious fact that military ser vice as an opportunity tor a career appeals only to a limit ed number of young men m this country. In ordinary times of peace they naturally drift into other employments. The flow of recruits will vary with industrial conditions. When labor is in great demand and highly paid, recruiting will shrink; if unemployment in creases, it will expand and quicken. It is a situation that is to be viewed with grave apprehen sion, particularly with respect to the navy. Secretary Dan iels's report is an inspiring tes timonial to the creation of the new navy; but of what value are dreadnoughts and 16-inch guns without trained men to handle them? New York World. WORK OF FARM AGENTS rf IELDS farmed as demon 'ir strations in agriculture under the supervision of county agents of the Office of Extension Work, South, re turned in 1915 as a rule yields 100 per cent in excess of the av erage for the section, accord ing to the annual report of the States Relations Service issued by the department. The dem onstration work, it is stated resulted in the widespread ad option of better methods, par ticularly in the preparation of land, selection of seed, and cultivation of crops. During the year 1915, 731 regular county agents, 407 women county agents, and 26 special boys' club agents were engaged in the southern ex tension work. They carried on work with 110,000 adult farm ers, approximately 63,000 boys, nearly 7,000 women and about 33,000 girls. In 1916 these figures have been in creased to 110,000 farmers, 63.000 boys, 43,000 girls, and S0.000 women. ........... Germany's proposal for peace is based on conditions the allies cannot accept with out awarding the war's victory to the kaiser. Nor is it prob able at all that the allies will consent to peace on any such basis. However, there is hope in the fact peace is even being discussed and this is increased by the possibility Germany may not hold out for the con ditions first suggested. Some of our newspapers are railing for fear Francis J. Heney may be named as secre tary of the interior and they cite his Oregon land fraud prosecutions against him; what is there wrong about prosecuting men for land frauds? It takes both sides to make peace. China was caused from a teleurnm announcing her serious Ulntsss from brain fever.

(East Oregonian Special.) HERMISTON. Ore., Dec 13. A committee from the Neighborhood Club of the Columbia district has been busy the last few days securing subscriptions from local people for funds and labor for the improvement t the five acre tract of land which the government has set aside for civic center purposes for the people of the Umatilla project. This land lies Just across the road, south, from the Co lumbia school house, and has been turned over to the Neighborhood Club for improvement by the Umatilla Wa ter Users' Association. They plan to have the land leveled right away s that It will be in shape for the setting out of trees and shrubbery in the spring. This tract is located in the heart of the richest producing area of the project and if present plans are carried out, it will be one of the most beautiful parks in the state. a C Roettinger, prominent attor ney and treasurer of the Central Trust ft Safe Deposit Company, of Cincinnati, left Sunday for his home after a few weeks' stay in this city in the Interests of the Wesrn Land & Irrigation Co. During Mr. Roettin ger's visit several changes were made in the affairs of the Western Land & Irrigation Co., among which, J. D. Watson, assistant treasurer of the company, was made secretary to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of C. B. Cleaver of Prairie City, Ore. Mr. Watson was als0 appointed one of the directors for the company. B. P. Strohm was awardd the contract to move the Orchard Camp buildings from their present location to West land, a small station on the O.W. cut-off. This is right in the heart of the Western Land & Irrigation Co.'s project, and the actual part of the work can be handled much better from this point than at the present lo cation. If present plans mature, a large acreage of the company's hold ings will be seeded to alfalfa in the spring. S. R. Oldaker and F. C. McKenzie, were Pendleton visitors Friday. Mrs. Laura L. Waller spent Satur. day with friends in Umatilla. Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Sapper and lit tle daughter, Margaret, were Pendle. ton visitors Saturday. Mrs. C. O.

S. urtiwiilon Is Elected CommlH Hkmer by Small Margin Very Light Vote is Oast. LA GRANDE, Ore.. Dec. 13. H. 3. Brownton, dentist, was elected city commissioner to succeed S. R. Ha' worth in Monday's triangular race for that office. None of the candidates received a majority of all votes cast, although Mr. Brownton had four vote3 more than Mr. Roesch, his near est competitor, on the first chice. No majority prevailing, It is necessary to count second choices and on that ba sis Mr. Brownton is elected. Vote Unusually light. In spite of the keen interest dis played prior to the election, the vote was about one-third of what it should have been. The frightful slush kept many women voters at home, and many men too, for the wards are too large for convenience. The need of splitting them up was very emphatl. cally 'Impressed. OID MAN TAKES BACK PILLS, FINDS SON CARED FOR. DETROIT, Mich., Dec. 13. (Special.) Fearing that the government did not provide suf ficient medical attention for h!i son who Is serving In the Unit ed 8'atfri Marine Corps, a little weasened-faced old man ap approsched Bergeant Joseph L. Wedge, of the local marine re cruiting station, with the request that he forward a little box of brown pills to his son, who the visitor said, was "allln' " at the Port Royal recruit depot. "Them pills alius put Bob on his feet," said the stranger. "It's 4 nn old family remedy that I know is reliable." When Wedge a"ured him that he had no doubt of the efficacy of the pills, but that Uncle Kam was bountifully equipped with medical supplies and aided by a large medical s'aff to look after his men. the stranger's eyes opened wide with wonder. ' '1 reckon he don't need the; e. then." said the visitor, as he pocketed the pills with a mum- bled apology and ijuie !y with- drew. The Washington mid Hawthorne schools from the fourth to eighth grades inclusive are each spending an hour this week at the county library receiving instruction in library meth ods. Miss Smith, assistant librarian, is conducting the classes and the li brary period. Is proving a very worth while addition to school work as well as popular with the children. A. E, White, principal of the Wash. ington school and the teachers of the fourth to eighth grades come with the pupils for the eleven o'clock period throughout this week and E. EL iieiss, principal of the Hawthorne school has arranged for the nine o' clock period. This finishes a one hour library pe riod this semester for each pupil in the public schools from fourth grade through high school senior year, as Miss Rush, principal of the Lincoln school and Miss Slater and Miss Graves, teachers of high school Eng lish, completed the work in Novem ber. . Similar arrangements have been made for the pupils of St. Joseph's academy at the nine o'clock period throughout next week. Grades one, two and three are too young to get full value for this work but are encouraged to use the library as far as they are able. Picture books and easy readers are supplied for them and parents are invited to ac company the smaller children in their quest for books to read. Every child who can write his own name and ad dress legibly may have his own Indi vidual library card even though he may be in first, second or third grades. P. H. S. BOYS MEET ATHENA DECEMBER 22 The high school boys,' first basket ball game will be played on Friday, December 22, when they will meet Athena high in that city. The girls' team will play the Athena girls the same evening, making the game a double header. Up to this time the boys' practice has been rather of a sorting out na ture, but Coach Fendall has now picked his first and second teams and the regular teamwork Is being prac ticed. From the Athena game on a heavj schedule wil lbe played by the boys, the Wattsburg game coming the 26th, less than a week from the Athena con test. Much will depsnd upon the Waitsburg as to the final standing of the team. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER ATTENDS FUNERAL OF ARCHBOLD 'Mi.

Among the first attendants were Mr. and Mrs. William Rockefeller, John D.
