There is no reason why Umatilla county towns should, not have good amateur teams. Tomorrow Umatilla county people will devote their attention'almost ex clusively to the Liberty Loan d'ive. Committees willhave the work so well in hand that it is thought the principal part of the Loan will be subscribed on the first day. So be ready when the committee calls on you. Jim Sturgis' bass pond down at Barnhart should be placarded against trespassers; otherwise, bad blood is liable to be spilled between the pisca torial editor of the Stanfield Standard and a couple of Pendleton reporters. With a hundred thousand Yanks thrown into the reserve lines of the French and the British armies the second battle of the Somme presents another anglo which may have hasten ed the digging in of the Huns. The snow storm April-fooled every one. The "fooling" was ho effective that ewn the stumbling brick was diH- "All is well that cuds well," and when the kaiser-made map of Europe has been rubbed off the slate, you may depend on it that the job will be done according to directions of the allies. There is one solace to be derived from the stagnant potato market, and that is it is well to have a surplus of something to eat which the food pir ates cannot corner. Athena continues to contribute locust trees for pins in government ships. The thinning out process results in property improvement if intelligently executed. It'a no trick to carry a good sized "wad" these days. Fifteen or twenty one-dollar bills make a big ' roll." Eh, Kerael? "Let Him Live." A ennv nf the following verses WHS sent by Frank Quinlivan, who has been in a Naval hospital at Chelsea, Mass. for several months: "LET HIM LIVE. As long as flowers their perfume give, Sc long I'd let the Kaiser live Live and live for a million years, With nothing to drink but Belgian tears. With nothing to quench bis awful thirst. But the salted brine of a Scotchman's curse. I would let him live on a dinner each day Served witn silver on a golden tray, Served with things both dainty and sweet, With everything, but things to eat. I'd make him a bed of silken sheen, With costly linens to lie between, With covers of down and fillets of lace And downy pillows piled in place; Yet when to its comfort he would yield, It would stink with the rot of the battlefield. And blood and bones and brains of men Should Cover him, smother him and then His pillows should cling with rotten cloy Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy. And while God's stars their vigil keep, And while the waves the white sands sweep, He should never, never, never sleep. And through all tha days, through all 'the years. There should he an anthem in his ears, Kinging and singing and never done. From the edge of light to the set of oun Telling the ghastly things he has done. And I'd build him a castle by the sea. As lovely a castle as ever could be; Then I'd show him a ship from over the sea, ' As fine a ship as ever could be, Laden with water, cold and sweet, Laden with everything good to eat; Yet scarce does she touch the silvered sands, Srarce may he stretch hi? eager hands. When a hot and hellish molten shell Should change his heaven into hell. And though he'd watih on the wind swept she re, The Lusitania would rise no more-l In "No Man's Land," where the Irish fell, I'd start the Kaiser a private hell; I'd jab him, stab him, give him gas; In every wound I'd pour ground glass; I'd march him out where the brave boys died, Out nast the lads thev crucified. ! In the fearful gloom f his living tomb, There's one thing I'd do before I was through I'd make him sing in a stirring manner The soul thrilling words of "The Star Spangled Banner I" A RETURNED WANDERER. We have been down south where the warm wind blows; To the sunny coast where the Gulf stream flows, Where the red carnation, stanch and bold, Knows never the touch of a wind that's cold. By the fronded palm I've stood and seen The sunbeams trickle through fetters green; But I've come back home where I will remain I'll work five years and go back again. I There are beauties rare in that friend- ly South; j There are fruito ripe for the hungry mouth; There is laughter gay on the golden sand, For the courts of Joy is that sunny land. And the glorious sun they get down there Like children bright, that have known no care, They claim new pleasures with out- "Sirens of the Sea" People's Theater ii april m Idling over summer seas, wealthy young Waldron spies on an enchanted Isle, beautiful Lorelei, daughter of its Millionaire owner, surrounded by school chums playfully impersonating Sirens.
