Then I got a move on. AVhen I arrived at thi theater there was a double line half a block long. I elbowed my way to the box office, laid down my four bit piece and got a ticket, went In and settled myself for a grand show. And be lieve me. It wan some show! It opened with a grand parade with the crack cowboys, cowgirls and In diaim. The audience began to sit up and take notice. Then the riding, roping and tying. - 1 be-gan to get somewhat excited. And when the champion of all bulldoggers was do ing his stunt, I could not restrain myself any longer, and let out two or three yip that would do credit to any cowboy. Then a heavy hand came down on my shoulder and said where do you think you are? This is Broadway, not Wyoming. Then an usher came to me and said the manager . of the theater wished me to come over to his box. which I did. 'He said, ''You rniiAt be from the West?' I said, "Yes. I wan a cow- puncher once. We shook hands, he smiled and said he also had been one a long time ago. He then Invited me to sit down and told me I could yip as loud and as long as I wished to. And believe me I did. Hay. It was some show! And I was pleased to know that Pendleton neatllng In the eastern mountains of Oregon was very much on the map. and the leading attrac tion on Hrondway.

Powder and cannon and steel, These have tholr fighting part, 4ut the arrny fights best. By an ancient test. That fights with a song in his heart. H1CAOO. April 14. In the caba rrts the yoedelers are working their larynoxs to death trying to ''put a real one ovor." The critical patriots drap ed about the cafe tables hearken and remain unmoved. They rise for "The Hpungld Banner,' cheer for I)lxle and put their forks down for ''Ame rica.' But the whimsies about the assorted hoart of Maryland, Michi gan, Oahkotth, Arkansas and Illinois leave them cold. The big song is still inborn, the song that will make the feet of the army tingle and the heart ol It grow strong-. It is "Tlpperary" that is credited with winning as many battles for the English as any of their generals. The French likewise have walked through the hail across No Man's Land with boulevard refrains on their lips. Something With a Swing- Wanted. "Something with a swing," said Capt. F. K. Kenney of the regular army recruiting station In South State street. "If I knew what, I'd wrte it myself. There won't be any mistak ing it when It comes, though. Kvery body will know it's the song." "Now Is the time for every Jaw band hero to come to the aid of his country." said another officer at th station. "We don't want any classical fctuff or any old stuff. The old airs are still great, but this is a new war and we want a new song." Capt. Edward A .Ever explained that the war was not going to be fought by "highbrows." that no war ever was and that Irving Berlin (who Is considering, by the way, of chang ing his name to New York) rathet than Walter Dam rose h was the logi cal genius to lead his nation soul on the wings of song. IpiiJar Output Decline. Inquiries at several of the song de partments and music store revealed a decline In the usual output of popu lar melodies and Jingles. At one place in State street the professor at the piano was pounding out the music of 'Poor Butterfly." one of the hits of the late Hippodrome show. "Here it is. boys," yelled the opto- mistic capper: "here's the tune to go to war with." At another place "In Michigan," a melody of last year's dim paleozoic muflciil past, was being wrenched from the piano. But, as Insinuated - "WH:- HTTP 3 b Irrtx'- .m behind the BoufjK Ask your grocer-He Iinows mere was a noticeaoie ansence or va rieiy. . "Where are they?" repeated one of the cappers. "Say. the're workin. doin der dooty. Wait a week.

AMERICAN AND ALL THE FAMILY CAN fly i 5 - - LL of Europe neutral as well as waring; countries has been placed on short food rations to eke out supplies until the new crop is harvested. This country entered the present crop year last July with 164,000,000 bushels of wheat carried over from the crop of 1915, and in 1916 produced 482,000,000 bushels of winter wheat and 158,000.000 of spring wheat; total supply 804,000, 000. This year there will be practically no wheat car ried over and the government's estimate on the winter crop forecasts a yield of only 430,000.000. On this basis the spring wheat crop must be 214,000,000 bushels larger than last year in order to give us a wheat supply equal to what we will export and consume in the crop year now closing. This u an alarming outlook. The spring wheat crop is notoriously subject to weather conditions. More spring wheat should be sown, but it is doubtful if the wheat shortage can be made up. Other food crops must be grown to meet the deficiency. THIS country is now at war, and our allies, Belgium, Great Britain, France and Italy are dependent up on us for food. They will have no reserves and must have more from us in the coming year than in the past, or they will not be able to feed all their people. Added to the appeals of starving humanity will be military reasons making it impussible for us to put an embargo upon the exportation of food. We must divide what we grow this year with these countries and with the neutral countries Holland, Denmark, Norway, Swlden, Switzerland and Spain which are not self sustaining in grain supplies. And not only must we supply enough to keep these peo ples from starving, but enough to cover the heavy losses at sea which result from the submarine warfare. If we grow no more food than we did last year and so far the outlook is for less there is a danger of a food situation ach as the world in modern times has not dreamed of. No other country has the resources in land and population to meet this emergency but the United States. There is no business upon which all other business depends as upon this of growing a big crop in America this year. And the work must be started immediately. There is no time to wait on organization from outside. The emer gency can only be met by spontaneous action in every state, county and school district forming local organizations. PICTURE in your mind what conditions will be in our own cities next winter, and of the effect upon all in dustry, if food supplies are scarcer and dearer than they are now! It must be impressed upon everybody that no wage advances or regulation of prices can add one bushel of wheat or potatoes to the supply after the grqwing sea son is over. The ;vermr of Iowa hits lallid for the eulistiiipnl of b. from 13 tu IS to nrk either in town gardens or upon the farms. Presi dent Wilson says that these boys will be "Soldiers of the Commissary." s Thfre are fine possibilities in this idea. The boys may be brought to iel that th'V are serviim their country !is truly as th-ir eider brothers n ho eailist in army or nav : and the girls should have a cham as well. They should have a medal to keep as lifelong evi dence of tln-ir service in the lust great war let us hope of the world's history. Although it is of course desirable to increase the farm crops, and especially the spring wheat crop, it maw be that the best chance to increase the food supply is by the intensive cultivation of garden tracts in and adjacent to towns, where labor additional to the regular farm sup ply can be secured for growing potatoes, beans, onions, etc. Each community is able to go ahead upon this work without help from outside. The aggregate result will de pend upon the efficiency of the local organization. RESPECTFULLY. The First National Bank of Pendleton The American National Bank, Pendleton
