Ella Wheeler Wilcox. HERE is plenty of talent at this Round-Up and the show is there with the goods as usual. Yet many note with some sadness and considerable pride that the string of riders is not as long as usual. There is a reason for this and it lies in the fact a host of the boys are wearing the irab and blue of Uncle Sam's army and navy. Many of them are with Captain Lee Caldwell in the sturdy ranks of troop D, now at Camp Greene awaiting word to cross the ocean. Others are with the regulars or the navy or in the various canton ments of the national army just being mobilized. Wherever they may be it may be set down that they make good soldiers and sauors. They are a loyal lot and they are not afraid. When thev face the foe they will go with a smile on their faces and determination in their hearts, just as they did when they went against trie dangers on track and arena, asking no favors and disdain ing to pull leather. The white man is the master over the brute and the white men of the world as represented by the United States and her allies are going to overpower the auto cracy that strives to shackle i civilization with the chains of brutality and injustice. They will do this through the valor and sacrifice of just such boys as have gone forth from east ern Oregon and whose absence in numerous cases we note with i sorrow. When you stand as (the bands play the national air rememoer tne Kouna-up Doys who are not with us this year. : SOME DO AND SOME DONT to the train or boat movement of troops. Such information is at all time and under all cir cumstances dangerous and should be scrupulously avoid ed." The request is one that is generally observed by the press, the East Oregonian in cluded. However, papers yes terday carried comprehensive news stories of the transporta tion of troops to American Lake. The .Oregonian pub lished the number of troop trains being handled by the Southern Pacific and the num ber of men being moved over the O-W. R. & N. It was an evident violation of the govern mental request and provided information of value to mis chief workers should there be any abroad. That there are such men to be found even now is attested by the effort of some fanatic to wreck a troop train near Tacoma. The situation illustratesone of the difficulties about a vol vntary press censorship in times of war. 'SAGE BRUSH AND WHEAT FIELDS" HE government has a standing request that the press of the country vol untarily refrain from publish ing news of troop movements. The request is embodied in the following section in A circular Jjby the committee on public in- j formation : "For the protection of our military and naval forc es and of merchant shipping it J is requested that secrecy be . ooservpa m an mailers oi ; 1. Information in regard HE Portland Oregonian seems distressed over the fact political opponents of President Wilson and Sena tor Chamberlain were unable to dictate who should be collec tor of customs at Portland and resents criticism by this paper of the men who have by their efforts striven to break down cur senators influence at Washington. Nevertheless the East Ore gonian stands squarely on the declaration that the efforts to undermine Senator Chamber lain's influence have been in bad grace. The reasons as signed by the Oregonian make the case amusing, as may be seen by the following from that paper. Mr. Moore may be. and we snnposc Is. an exemplary citizen, but his qual ifications for administration of tho important affairs of a larse seaport appear to have been acquired by cloo contact with the sage-brush plains and wheat fields of Eastern Oregon.. Can the East Oregonian. or anybody, ad vance any reason whatsoever why a first-class public official should he summarily displaced and a strantrer from Umatilla appointed, except that lie was persona grata to . the . demo cratic organization? I Mr. Burke whom Mr. Moore supplants as collector was pri or to his appointment a resident of Baker and therefore it is to assumed he gained his know ledge of the office from the mining region of eastern Ore gon. If such a high grade offi cial as Mr. Burke could be turned out of the Baker envi ronment why cannot equal or better results be attained from our wheat country, when wheat exceeds mining stock as an ar ticle of export out of Portland? Does the Oregonian consider the customs collectorship a pink tea job and is it afraid Will Moore may eat with his knife or spit on the floor when some one is looking? ........... A good time to keep your house locked and to report sus picious characters to the police. The old flasr means more to the audience this year. 28 Years Ago Today (From tho Daily Kust Oregonian, Sept. 21. 18S9.)

Just Plain Facts Wo have no 8.50 wheat and are not trying to sell rainbows or pots of gold, but It Is perfectly true that Montana leads tho world in quality and quauUty of smaU grain productions. The Truth is Good Enough There Is no need of misrepresentation. Our country speaks for Itself. Hingham Is the center of that portion of Montana that absolutely surpasses all others. If other districts can raise as much wheat per acre they are Infer' r in some other particular: water, dependable rainfall, convenience to main lino railway, lie of the land, general attractiveness. Tho Hingham district is dotted with beautiful homes, blgred h"" and windmills and school houses. ttlfliif ''rtfsilssri14P i Elevators Tell Their Own Story Hingham has five big grain elevators and another is contracted for. No other town in the country has an equal number of elevators, yet there aro towns every four to six miles In either direction, with throe, four and five elevators. This proves our assertion that Hill County Is Uncle Sam's most compact bread basket and HIiiKhuin Is the cen ter. , . t j. j! . ., ., ,rt,r...i-.

Meats, you do not buy meats where the animals have been driven for miles or enclosed in cattle cars over a long stretch of railroad. These are unnatural conditions, and are sure to detract from the quality of the meat. The Meat You Get From the Shops That Handle "Pemeco" Brand was Reared and Fattened on the Farms of Umatilla County. Just a few hours from the farm to your table. The shops that retail "Pemeco Products" are among the best in eastern Oregon Cool, clean and sanitary. When you order "Pemeco" meats from any of these shops you are assured of meats that are wholesome, nutritious and possess flavor that savors of the grain fields and sweet pastures.
