Miss Mary Lansdale, formerly of

the unwitting cause of the destruc
tion by fire of the school house in
which she has been teaching, six
miles east of Pendleton. The school
house having been raided by vandals,
she determined to protect it against
them by placing locks on the win
dows. In attempting to bore a hole

PLANTED BERRIES IN EARS '
For several years Dean Clark, a
high school student of Helix, has been
having 1 trouble with his ears, says
the East Oregonian. During Round
Up week he was aware that the ir
ritation was doubly' noticeable. Sat
urday he and his mother came to a
Pendleton specialist for an examina
tion. They were astonished when the
doctor, after some careful work, ex
tricated an allspice berry from the
ear. The berry had lodged against the
ear drum and was thoroughly covered
with ear wax. The other ear bother
ed too, so the examination was ex
tended with the result that ear No. 2
yielded berry No. 2. After the berries
had been taken from his ears, young
Clark recalled that he as a small
child had put a berry in each ear,
but he had forgotten the action olng
ago and thought the berries had drop
ped out. He is hearing much better
now, and the pain is practically all
gone.
Jay birds, brilliant of plumage

Henry J. Taylor
THE name of Henry J. Taylor,
pioneer farmer of Umatilla
County, will be on the Democratic
Ticket as a farmer candidate for
Joint Senator. Mr. Taylor is a
consistent advocate of .
Tax Redaction : v
and favors the strictest economy
in the expenditure of the people's
money and liberal support of the
Public Schools. He is opposed to
the
Scbcol rJocopcly Bill
for the reason that its adoption
will mean the outlay and expen
diture of about $3,000,000 for ad
ditional school buildings and
equipment and an annual expense
for interest and maintenance of
about 12,000,000 more in addition
to the already intolerable load of
taxes now upon us, and for the
reason that it would destroy
parental authority and deprive
the citizens of the constitutional
guarantee i of religious freedom
and of the right to give their
children a religious education in
addition to the education afforded
by the public schools. A vote
for Henry J. Taylor is a vote in
the interest of every fireside in
the Senatorial District and in the
State of Oregon. V
