other side was given the best
of the deal. In other words
instead of playing checkers
why not play "give away." In
stead of cold suspicion let each
side show warmth and friend
liness toward the other. Won
derful things are sometimes ac
complished that way.
It is easy to have trouble in
any camp when two sides pull
in opposite directions. It is
hard to have trouble when each
side is really trying to sacrifice
as much as it can for the sake
of a common cause. Is not the
welfare of an institution like
the public library worthy of
some sacrifice?
In making these humble sug
gestions the East Oregonian
does not wish to be regarded as
reflecting upon the character
of the entertainment staged by
our rival library forces Though
at times lacking in ginger it is
as a whole a very good fight
and the spectators get their
money's worth. But with the
Round-Up and Happy Canyon
firmlv established is it wise to
make a permanent thing of
the library war? If we carry
our rough and ready stuff to
extremes wont people 'get the
impression, as some have now,
that Pendleton as a town is
wild and wooly and full of
fleas and that our citizens are
not considered dressed unless
they wear a gun and a plug of
chewing tobacco?

when a man of 80 came near
being poisoned by eating of
some canned vegetable.
Few people know the full
benefits of the work done by
the department of agriculture
in safeguarding the food supply
of the country.
In the enforcement of the
food and drugs act during the
last year, U. S. Department of
Agriculture officials analyzed
29,833 samples of foods and
drugs offered for interstate
shipment and for imports. A
physical examination was
made of samples from 76,468
shipments offered for import.
Of these foreign shipments, 6,
353 were found to violate the
law in some respects and were
either excluded from the coun
try or admitted only after the
importers had relabeled them
to comDlv with the law. Of
department recommended to
the department of justice that
criminal prosecution be insti
tuted against the manufactur
ers or that the goods be seized.
In all, there were held 8.715
such hearings, many of which
resulted in the prosecutions in
dicated and the gathering of
evidence for a large number of
additional cases, which will be
forwarded to the department
of justice.
A fact of interest, at this
time of the year, in connection
with the department's work is
that the officials have been
conducting campaign against
the sweating of immature or
anges and immature grape
fruit so as to give the immature
fruit the color of ripe fruit.
Their work has been successful
largely because of the active
help of the greater part of the
citrus fruit producers. Com
paratively few sweated, imma
ture oranges wereaofferd dur
ing the last year, and it is be
lieved the better quality of
fruit resulted in a steadier mar
ket so that the producer as
well as the consumer benefited.
WHY THE DANES WANT TO
SELL
HOUGH not actually en
gaged in the war Den
mark has been compell
ed to make extraordinary ex
penditures of $16,5QO,000 for
military purposes during the
past year. This has left a de
ficit of $11,000,000 in the Dan
ish treasury. The facts are in
teresting in view of the vote of
the Danish people to sell their
West Indies islands to the Uni
ted States for $25,000,000.
The islands have long been
more or less of a liability to
Denmark and with ready
money so desirable at home
the Danes probably thought it
a good time to make a bargain
with Uncle Samuel. From our
standpoint we desire possession
cf the islands and as just now
we have more gold than some
people have hay, it looks like
a lovely time to make the
trade.
George W. Perkins is going
to make a strenuous fight to
save Republican Chairman Wil

democrats may well give cor
dial support to the move.

GIVE ft man a chance whether he is on the force
or a private citizen. It's the satisfaction, the good
tobacco taste that wins him over to W-B CUT chewing.
There are other things that help: the gentlemanly
appearance that the little chew permits; the easing up
on so much grinding and spitting; last and not least, the
economy but it's the tobacco satisfaction that turns the
trick every time.
