ORE. OCT. 1 1U "Better than ever," is the universal verdiot we heat of the Pendleton Round-Up. Interest does not flag as expected in this ureHt Pi drama ol . the West. The usual big crowds were in attendanoo at the big gbow. Eaoh teonning day's exhibition seemed more thrilling oud entertaining. Tbe Let 'er Buck slogan is already vibrating In spiiit for the 1816 enow and the thousands will dome again next year just as tbey have come in past years. The diversion given by Walla Walla's Frontier Days by no means seems to lessen Interest or detract one iota from the eagerness evinced by people to wit" ness exhibitions of thisobaraoter. Tbe Walla Walls show tbis year waa bet ter tban ever and indioatioua are that it too, bas come to stay. And it Is well, for tbe ieasi n that tbe people feel disposed to support both alttao Tbe borse market is now passing in to a boom. Unprecedented orders have been plaoed with Ameiioan buyers and tbe demand for American horses for war purposes is far in excess of tbe available supply. Boyers con tinue to come bere and tbis seotion is being combed for stock, for whiob fair prices are paid. Tbe demand of tbe warring nations for horses and tbe utilization of gasoline motors would seem to have a tendeuoy to put tbe American borne out of business. We bad a strange aud startling dream tbe other night. In our slum hers we saw every fellow wulkiug up and squaring bis subscription aooouut and paying a year in advance, and fotthnitt wo were arranging to take up a large slioo of that billion dollar loan. JuEt why is a dream, anyway? Wish that fellow wbo baa teen analyz ing dreams in tbo magazines lately would do the Daniel not for us. Speik a good word tot tbe sohools, and the ohurobes, and the business and professional men, aud the indus tries and your neighbors and friends and tbe people generally. Keep on speaking good wards until others get - the habit aud begin speaking with you. It's a good thing for the town and In time nlbers will tie speaking well of you.

A Mulligan Stew I beard a fellow ruminating oat loud like tbis tbe other night, and I give it to you straight: "My auto, lis of the, short cut to poverty of thee I ohant. I blew pile of dough on tbee two years ago, and now you refuse to go, or won't or can't. Tbrongb town and countryside, you were my joy and pride, a bappy day.

By Peter Radford Lecturer National Farmers' Union The farmer ia the paymaster of industry and as such he must meet the nation's payroll. When Industry pays Its bill it must make a sight draft upon agriculture for the amount, which the farmer is compelled to honor without protest This check drawn upon agriculture may travel to and fro over the highways of com merce; may build cities; glrdlo tlio globe with bands of eteel; may ecurch hidden treasures In the earth or traverse tbe skies, but In the ond It will rest upon the soil. No dollar will remain suspended In midair; it Is as certain to seek the earth's surface as an apple that falls from a tree. When a farmer buys a plow he pays the man who mined the iuolal, the woodman who felled tho trco, tho manufacturer who assembled the raw material and shaped it Into an ar ticle of usefuluoss, the railroad that transported It and tho dealer who sold him tho goods. He pays the wages of labor and capital employed In the transaction as well as pays for the tools, machinery, buildings, etc, usod In the eoustructlon of the commodity and the same applies to nil articled of uso and dlot of him self aud those engngod In tho sub sidiary lines of industry. There Is no payroll In civilization that does not rest upon the back of the farmer. Ho must pay the bills all ot thom. The total value of tho nation's annual agricultural products Is around $12,000,000,000, nnd It la nolo to esti mate that 95 cents on evory dollar goes to meeting the expenses of sub sidiary Industries. The farmer does not work more than thirty minutes per day for himself; the remaining thirteen hours of tbo dny'B toll he devotes to meeting tbo payroll of the hired hands of agriculture, such as the manufacturer, ruilroad, commer cial and other servants. The Farmer's Payroll and How He Meets It Tho annual payroll ot agriculture approximates $12,000,000,000. A por tion of the amount is shifted to for eign countries In exports, but the total payroll ot industries working for tho farmer dlvldeB substantially as follows: Itallroads, $1,252,000,000; manufacturers, $4,305,000,000; mining, $(.55,000,000; banks. $200,000,000; miTciintile $:U00,000,000, and a heavy miscellaneous payroll constitutes the remainder. it takes the corn crop, the most valuable In agriculture, which sold last year for $1,602,000,000, to pay off the employes ot the railroads; the money derived from our annual sales of livestock of approximately $2,000, 000.000, tho yearly rottou crop, valued nt $020,000,000; the wheat crop, which Is worth $010,000,000, and tbe oat crop,' that is worth $140,000,000, are required to meet the annual pay roll of tho manufacturers. The u oney . derived from the remaining s'.uule crops, is used Iu meetlur. the SUMMONS. In the Circuit Court of the State of Oiegon tor Umatilla County.
