THE SrXSET ROAD.
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.

ed States Irishman the best

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.

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. Acting Secre
tary of State Polk took me matter
under consideration and will go into

The immediate demand for food
stuffs includes 8,000 tons of grain.
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.
