When we come to. the turn of the sunset road. Where no withered rose la seen. Where the flowers ever grow in eternal light The trees are always green When we come to the day where no morrow dawns, Where the sun will never set. There our hearts shall find rest from all sorrows sigh . In that home without regret. In that wonderful home for us all beyond, xAt the end of the sunset way Where a silver path to the vast unknown Draws us closer every day. Kathryn Ward. DELL BLANCETT STREET ELL BLANCETT sleeps in an unmarked grave on the "Battlefield of France." He was the first Pendletonian to fall in battle over there. He was the first of our Round-Up stars to sacrifice himself that others might live in safety and decency. It would be graceful and just to honor his memory in some manner during the coming Round-Up. Why not emulate the French and name a street after him. We have all kinds of streets with meaningless names. The street leading to the Round-Up entrance from the south is call ed Oak street. That name is a libel because there are no oaks on the street and never will be. Call it Dell Blancett street and thus give it a name that for all time to come will honor the memory of a bold rider who fell in a noble cause and did "good execution" on the enemy before he died. .- .. IN 1919 pt ENERAL MARCH says we can win the war by the end of 1919 by putting four million men into the field. It is an inspiring goal; an am bition worthy of a great nation. America carries the "avenging sword" of which brave and chivalric France has dreamed and sung. Our part is to end the bloody struggle and make the world safe and free for mankind. We are to stop the Hun and rescue the women and children, the. old men and the hapless wounded. We are to put down the rule of might and open the right-of-way. to decency, honor and justice. The hope of victory by the end of next year is not unreason able. We can win if we put forth the fullest effort. The slogan of victory in 1919 car-i ries an appeal .that calls for the best that is in us all ; such a triumph will be reward for the cost whatever the cost may be. SOME GOOD PEOPLE COMING efr HE appeal of the Metho- dists for help in caring for the truests who are to be here during the big confer ence in September should not go unheeded. Pendleton has a pride in caring for conventions that come to this city and in meeting the obligations of host. Whatever is customary for these people during their conference should be freely provided and more. The peo ple who are to be here are rep resentative citizens from over the northwest a district to which our city is under many obligations because bf long continued patronage for the Round-Up. From a standpoint of self interest alone we cannot afford to neglect this gather ing. Increased insurance; bah ; how could a town burn up that has a rain storm twice each afternoon and every night? There are many older men who say little but wish they were but 18 or 19 and had no family claims to hold them from the greatest adventure of all history. Michael O'Rourke is a Unit ed States Irishman the best brand of Hibernian there- is. singing, when we came 10 I dreadful steep hill, with a ur1 torn at tlu bot tom, around a precipice about' eV feot high. Soon the horses became fright ened and started down the hill like mad. As we reached the curve the hack gave a lurch and turned com pletely over, throwing all seven of us down the hillside as If from a can non's mouth. I never was so surprised tn all mv life. Luckily a young man on horseback Just behind us caught the horses as they were tearing about on the point of plunging upon us. The babies would have been killed but we were thrown into ferns about six feet high. There we were mashed flat ns pancakes. We are feeling pretty well, however, but to see the place we went down headforemost would make one shudder, Indeed the doctor has been shuddering all day. mmnmiMMH iiiiiililllli mum !!tmmitinni lliwillliiililll liimfs iiililU SEE IT AT THE CARNIVAL If the Hun manpower is run ninfflow why can't the Hohen- zollern family lend a hand .' Good cane. weather for sugar The weather man has been predicting "fair and warmer" and each day it has become "wet and colder.1" The boys art the front are al so impressed with the idea of a victory in 1919: the next step will be to convince the enemy. James J. Richardson, sport ing editor on the Oregonian "soaked" a man who refused to salute the flag. "Salute or fight" is good gospel for those who let the colors go by with out recognition. 28 YEARS AGO (From the Daily Kast Oregonian. August 21, 1890). R. J.

ASK U. S. TO GIVE ' BREAD TO FINLAND WASHINGTON, Aug. 21. A defi nite request for bread for the people of Finland has been made to the Uni ted States government by Norway, Sweden and Denmark. This proposi tion was presented to the State De partment by the Minister of the Scan dinavian countries today. Although Norway, Sweden and Den mark promise to control the food sup plies sought for her starving neigh bors, the United States will be very cautious "In Bending grain or other foodstuffs to Finland.

It was pointed out to Mr. Polk by the Scandinavian ministers that Fin land is like Belgium, she has been brought to her present status by Un avoidable circumstances. The understanding is that the Fin nish government itself proposed an appeal be made to the t'nited States and Great Brttan to 'secure enough bread materials to prevent starvation. It was recently reported that Fin land was preparing to declare war agaianst the allies. There is no-disposition to question the sincerity of the Norwegian, Swe dish and Danish governments in their efforts to nld Finland. Some time ago the question of giving direct assist ance from the Scandinavian nutiwns was considered but it wus finally de cided it could not be done. By tcivin lt aid this country miht tyrn the Finns in our favor. . This country would not consider the proposition at all without a guarantee from fiermany that the aid could be given to the masses. The Scandinavi an governments will try to secure a iatistuctury guarantee before definite action is taken by the United States. "WHIPPET" TANK HELPS CHASE THE GERMANS Big Wheat Yield IKms.
