In doing our part to help celcbrule
Golden Hulo Sunday, December 6th,
we ure arrunging for a speciul sup
plement to use In an early issue. The
supplement contuins a message to the
Nation from President Coolidge and
Is full of pictures of the Golden Rulo
children. k
Speciul Intercut attaches to Golden
Rulo Sunday this year as nine tholK
sand of the children on wnose otnau
the day is celebruted are in the earth'
quake zone in the Near Eunt, and two
weeks ago were driven from their
orphanage buildings into the terrors
of an Armenian blizzard.
The day is celebrated this year In
fifty different notions. The first
dinner of the year waa hi-ld in con
nection with the League of Nations
in Gehcva, and in the United States
dinners arc being held where a menu
similar to an orphanage meal Is
served, while thoso who partake of
tho meal try to figure out what they
would like to have others do if their
children were among tho 35,000
homeless orphuns in tho Near East.
"The Golden Rule children of the
Near East are among the finest child
ren In the world," writes Judge Oliv
er P Coshow, Golden Rulo chairman
of Oregon. "They hove splendid
physiques, ctherwke they would have
died from the hardships they have en
dured, in some cases literally from
birth. They are mentally alert, or
they would never huve survived. In
many cases they are children from
homes of education and refinement.
Never before In history did a nation
have its chance to stamp tho very
highest idouls upon a people ns has
America, which in the last ten years I
has marked its impression upon 132,
532 orphan children. When the
earthquake came we were busy train
ing 35,000 children to assume self
support by the time they were six
teen That program could not be cast
aside, but provision hnd to bo made
for the nine thousand children for
whom new shelter had to be provided
at once. In this crisis they showed
the results of their training by cheer
fully getting to work and improvising I
shelters for themselves and others,
and though they wore sleeping in tho
rain with insufficient covering, they
gave up their blankets to village
children less fortunate than them
selves. They have frequently divided
their meager food with children out
sido tho orphanage. Even the blind
children aro learning to Buppoft
themselves."
"On Golden Rule Sunday, or on
any other day, we ask tho peoplo of
Maupin and vicinity to do for these
ns they would have others do were
theirs among the homeless,"

Dr. Luurcnce Stovall and wife will I

journing in Tho Dalles for some
monthrt, was in Maupin Wednesday.
Ho is making arrangments to move

Indian Custom Makcs
Paupers of Children
PolUlch Retemble Tactic of Froa
bootart Property Taken Without
Consideration of Future
Cuntom among the Warm Spring
Indians, when a memebr of the tribe
din, reflect! anything- but credit
upon thoie taking part in lu obierv
ance. It ii that which gives atten
dants the privilege of taking unto
themselve whatever of the de
ceased's property which suits
their fancy. A case in point:
A few weeks ago an Indian named
Jim Puoyttte was drowned In the
Columbia river at Celilo while salmon j
fishing. An attempt was mado to j
j recover the body but failed. Some
Lmo intfiP .i.. trunk of a man sup-
n . , . tK. .mnin, of the
dian was found near White Salmon.
The wife of the victim of tho river
did not go to Idenlfy the remains, s
It was burled by the authorities.
Now comes the worst part of the
ttory: ,
A rek ago Sa-.day friend tnnl
Wftibers of the drowned man -
gathered at his home. There :ht; in-
du'ned in feasting and carow.nl until
jThu - adny. When time cam to clr.so
the t'ttivities the home and range of
Puoyette were dispoildcd of every
thing movublc, not even a slight
amount of food being left for the
family The children, two small
girls and wife, were reduced to
penury and will now become charges
of the agency.
The practice of "celebrating" the
death of a member of the tribe was
discouraged by a former agent, but
secmes to have been revived and is
now being practiced as part of the
Indian's ritual.
We were biven the above details
by a man who is in close touch with drainage of Kansas and Florida, be
matters on the reservation, and who ," of thc movement of the De-
are resident thereon. If they are
true something should be done to
stop such carryings on, as they only
result in mcsery and want on the
part of the fimilics who are dlspoil
cd in a barbarous manner.
FARMER HAS NOTHING TO SAY
Cannot Fix Prices On Anything That
Ha Produces
Senator Gooding of Idaho says:
"The farmer cannot fix the price on
anything that he produces. He has
to examine the newspaper in the
morning to find out the price of his
wheat, corn, cattle, hogs, cotton.
When he has to buy he pays the price
fixed by somebody else, but when he
undertakes to sell any of his products
he has to take his hat off to the man
to whom he sells it the man who
fixes the farmer's price. Of course
everyone knows that someone else
fixes the price of everything the
farmer has to buy."
Froat On Flat
Succeeding the rain and snow
storm of Monday frost took posses
sion of tho Flat territory Tuesday
night and closed standing ponds with
a heavy thickness of ice. Maupin re
ceived a slight touch of King Boreas'
power and slight frost was seen here
Tuesday morning.
Naw, Office Building
Joe Kramer is completing a neat
office building adjoining his machine
shop. The structure is 12x16 feet in
sizo and will, beside serving as an of
fice, be used as storage and display
room for auto accessories, radios and
other things handled by Mr. Kramer.
Dance Tomorrow Night
The Broadway Novelty orchestra
has engaged the Legion hall and to

ing season in Maupin. Tho members
of the orchestra have been hard at
work since last season preparing to
give patrons of their dances the best
and latest music obtainable and
promise a most enjoyable time to
those who turn out Friday evening.
New Girl At Nicholi'

tho litlo Miss making her appearance
at thc Nichols home at 3 :35 Tuesday
morning, having been brought their

Sound Argument
(By N. G. Iledin)
It seems our town is afflicted with
an overdose of undue modesty. If
we fail to toot our own trumpet the
state will not single us out and cast
plums Into our larder. They, the
whole people, know not of the pecu
liar fitness of Southern Wasco coun
ty for the establishment of a tuber
culosis hospital. Such an institution
seems not to be sought after as keen
ly as the Normal school But let's
look at the two through mental eyes.
A normal school is attended large
ly by a class of highly deserving stu
dents of all agesfrom girls of 18
to married men and women in their
40 s. They are hot the spendthrift
or sporty class, often working their
ln-,wy nd going on limited
rations.
They bring little commercial atimu
lation to a city as compared to a
fully equlped hospital. A T.B. state
institution is a real high classed
drawing card for folks in all walks
of life who sacrifice their fortunes
und homes In all corners of the state
to be poured into the town that has
the hoispitul, because theso things are
placed on the altar of hope in search
for lost health, often a lost hope and
lost cnuse, but one that spends and
spends to the utmost of the families'
resources to cure the patient.
The medical staff and nurse staff
of these institutions, orderlies, jani
tors etc., all are of a class highly de
sirable as new folks in the communi
ty. So much so good. .
Now, can we get it? Who knows?
Shall we try for it? Absolutely!
It won't seek us unbidden. It is
to bo located somewhere in Central
or Eastern Oregon.
What have we here to offer an in
stitution: We have the climate of
Arizona and California, high and dry
and handsome. Wj have the air
c nines pure rapias. uur Dencnes are
protected as in the hollow of an aw

We have rail transportation en

cadam highway, the major trade and
scenic artery of central Oregon We
soon shall draw from central Wash
ington as well, via the bridge that
will span the Columbia above The
Dalles at the narrows, where the riv
er is 85 feet wide and 480 feet deep.
Commercial men and engineers have
already inspected this bridge site.
We are but five hours from Portland

LADIES AID TO HOLD BAAZAR
December 10 Set a Data Wapinitia
and Maupin Join in Affair
A joint baazar has been arranged
by the Ladies Aids of Maupin and
Wapinitia, and the Legion hall has
been engaged for the occasion, Fri
day. December 10 being the date.
The members of the two societies j The parts have been religiouiy re
have been hard at work preparing hearsed and each member of the
articles for sale and at this time
have enough on hand to stock a coun

sists of everything needed to wear,

bootees to party dress for the de

program will be rendered and a sup
per wiir be served in the hall dining
room. As tne procceaa are to go to

gregations all the people of the com
munity are expected to be present.
Geeie Going South
Several flocks of wild geese were
seen flying south the past few days.
This iu a lato migration for the honk
ers, and portends a light winter, as
heretofore, when winter set in soon

winter feeding grounds at an earlier
date. Robins are with us, and this,
too, bespeakes a mild winter

agree to help put it over. How?
Where?
The Mayor should call a meeting
of the whole town and East Maupin.
The call should extend U Wapinitia,
Tygh, Wramie, Shaniko, Bakeovon,
Smock. We should have a publicity
agent and a delegation committee to

mlttee, or all of us gather the facts

farm reief till into legislation, to
take care of the export surplus of
5tapie farra product.
The agricultural colleges in the
thirteen states represented have been
asked to determine the cost of pro
ducing the staple products in the
states, plus five per cent profit, as a
basis for market levels. The feder
ation will present the computations
to congress with the demand that
agriculture be put on an even foot
ing with other protected and pros
perous industries, the slogan being
"Protection for All or Protection for
None." A movement is under way
for the south to join with the west in
support of the export program and
because of the depression in cotton
it is expected it will succeed. The
McNary-Haugen bill was defeated at .
the last session of congress by veto
of the president.

A SURE CURE FOR SCANDAL
Correspondent Send The Time
Remedy For Uutrua Goaaip.
I Take of &ood nature an ounce, of
! an herb called by the Indians "Mind
Your Own Business" one ounce, mix
with this a little charity for others
and two or three sprigs of "Keep
Your Tongue Between Your Teeth,"
simmer these together in a vessel
called circumspection for a short
time, when it will be ready for use.
Application
The symptoms are a violent itching
of the tongue and the roof of the
mouth, which invariably takes place
when in company of a species of
animals called "Gossips." When you
feel the disorder coming on take a
teaspoonf ul of the mixture, hold it in
your mouth, which you will keep
closely shut until you get home. This
will effect a complete cure. Should
you apprehend a relapse repeat the
jdi re.
1 I have tried the above and find it
! works very nicely. I think every-
one should try some of this remedy.

Ships More Guano
Richmond & Son continue to re
ceive orders for sheep guano. Last
week they shipped a carload to a
rancher at Aurora, and another to
Mosier. They have orders for more,
but the rains have caused a delay in
shipment, as the Richmonds ship in
open cars and desire that the guano
reach the consumers in as dry a
shape as possible.
