JOLT The magnitude of the Democratic nation-wide sweep in the general elec tions has become lully apparent. The returns show the staggering re verses suffered by the Republican ad ministration. The vote drove some of President Harding's closest personal friends from pupblic life, endangered Repub lican control of the next house, ser iously reduced the Republican mar gin in the senate, turned New York state overwhelmingly to Democratic control and generally changed the country's political complexion. The gathering of returns revealed: That Democrats have gained at least 66 seats in the house, making it nec essary for them to win but 21 more to control that body. That Republican control of the sen ate has been reduced from 24 to 12. Contests in doubt make it impossible to fix the exact margin definitely. That Ohio, President Harding's state, on which the administration pinned its strongest hopes for appro val of the Harding program, elected a Democratic governor and showed Democratic congressional gains. That New York state was swept in to' the Democratic column so over whelmingly that not only Al Smithy Democratic candidate for governor, and Royal S. Copeland for senator, were elected, but the entire Dem ocratic state ticket -and a majority of the house delegation That such Republican strongholds as Rhode Island and New Hampshire fell into the Democratic procession. Tha Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, leader and chief sachem of the Re public. n party, was in danger of de feat by Col. William A. Gaston in Massachusetts, in the closest election that state has seen in years. That expected Republican victories in Kansas, Indiana, New Jersey c::d possibly in Michigan, failed to mat erialize. That on the wet and dry issue there seemed to be an even break as to statewide results, but considerable wet gains in congress. Illinois and Massachusetts voted wet, Ohio and California swinging into the dry column. "There are sections in Oregon that have made no growth in population during the past 10 years. ' Oregon agriculture increased only about -' per cent during the past census per iod. Farmers in some districts warn others to stay away until a mark eting system is established which will permit them to dispose of their own products to advantage." o When Henry Ford wanted to pur chase a railroad not so very long ago, he told Wall Street Jews to go hence with their money bags. He went out and rustled the long green somewhere else. The other day , he squirmed out of the clutches of the coal barons when he bought out the Dex-Car Pocahontas coal mine in the Tug R ver district, West Virginia. As the mine has a capacity pf 30 car loads per day. Unk Henry's little Ford shop should be able to cope with fuel shortages hereafter. o Standardization of the Mountain potato as a seed product has already become effective, and with sales or ganization, which is bound to be es tablished sooner or later, the spud will come into its own as has the ap pie of Hood River, Wenatchee, and other fruit-growing centers. o And out of the dregs of a hot pol itical campaign crawls Andy Gump without the semblance of a scratch and wearing his "never-touched-me" smile, tucked back somewhere near the spot where his collar button ought to be. For a.. white- the" 'allied high com ,missi6ners told the Turk what to, do; now the Turk is telling the commis sioners what to do; neither being dis posed seemingly to let George do it. If the weather man will hold win ter back for a couple of weeks longer, we'll promise to show him a good stand of growing grain hereabouts, after all. FOOTBALL CLAIMS Claiming football championships seems to be a long suit with certain Pendleton scribes, but coming down to figures and brass tacks the coun ty seat team lacks a whole lot of be ing crowned with the honor this year. On the basis of percentage in number of games won and lost. Pen dleton, despite the claims otherwise made in the Tribune, is tied with Hermiston and LeGrande ut .666, Pendleton having won four games aid lost two. LaGrande and Hermiston won two games and lost one each. Athena stands at the head of the column on a percentage basis, having won three games and last one, with a percentage of .750. Milton's percentage is .500, hawing won from Athena one game and lost one. game, by forfeiture to Pendleton. So much for Pendleton's claim for champion ship honors on a percentage basis. By process of elimination, Pendleton has no standing whatever for the dis trict championship. She toek a bent' ing from Hermiston, Athena defeated her, and then turned around and lick ed the Hermiston team. In all fairness and chucking crabbing and prejudice into the discard, right now Milton is the team that stands to win from the standpoint of elimination. Sho de feated Athena and is runner-up in the last game of the season with Horinis ton. On this game really depends the championship of the district Milton passed up Pendleton to take the big whack at the West end team after defeating Athena. If she wins she is champion; if she loses, Athena grabs the plum, o '. UP TO PORTLAND AMERICA REJECTS INVITE TO PARLEY Washington, D. C Another request that the United States actively parti cipate with the allied governments in the settlement of European difficul ties, this time involving the establish ment of peace between Turkey and the allies, and the status of the Dardan elles and Bosphorus straits, was re ceived Saturday by the Washington government. Its formal presentation by Sir Auck land Geddes, the British ambassador; Count de Chambrun, acting for France in the absence of Ambassador Jusser and and Charge Rossi who appeared for Senator Rice!, Italian ambassador, was followed by an authoritative state ment from the state department that this government had instructed its ambassadors in London, Paris and Rome to inform those governments that It could not officially participate In the near east conference at Lau sanne, Switzerland. , Correctly interpreting the hand writing on the wall, the Oregon Jour nal says "it's up to Portland to win the confidence of Oregon." Analyz ing the reason for the defeat of the Exposition measure, the Journal con cludes : "Portland is challenged by this balloted declaration. It is for Portland to make it clear to all com munities within her trade territory that she has no wish except for their material progress. The time has come not only to allay the suspicion that Portland is willing to "steal indus tries" from towns in her tributary territory, but to remove any basis for such suspicion. "The time has ceme to demonstrate that Portland more willingly fights tot measures that concern the out state than for schemes to increase the population of Portland, partiou-l VLADIVOSTOK BECOMES RED Great Ovation la Given Bolshevik Cavalry By Populace. . Tokio. Vladlvostock became a city of red Immediately after the Japanese completed their evacuation. Prac tically every house and store display ed the red flag, while crowds carrying red banners lined the streets to greet the invaders. The bolshevik cavalry an hour later wbb given a great ovation. The popu lace was sincere in Us greeting, ac cording to official advices to Toklo. Bofore sailing the Japanese com mander sent a note to the commander of the reds, congratulating him on the attitude of the Chita wmy and thank ing him for agreeing to the condi tions under which the Japanese were not hampered In their final moves. All Homes In Town Raided. Astoria, OrFederal prohibition of ficers from Oregon and Washington Saturday night raided practically every home in Brookfleld, Wash., and seised fifty gallons of Illicit liquor, 1650 gallons of mash, 800 gallons of wine, a large quantity of beer and four stills ranging in size from 75 to 35 gallons capacity. As the officers land ed at the little town in a launch, it is said residents recognized them and poured out a large amount of liquor, one man being caught after he had de stroyed 800 gallons of mash. No ar rests were made, it is said, bocause of the large number of persons involved. Mexico Levies on Tourists. Calexlco, Cal.

USEFUL DISCOVERIES To keep the bread sponge warm over night ; put into the tireless cooker with a warm stone at the bot tom or a hot water bot tle filled with hot water. If neither of these is at hand cover two patent flatirons well heated with a tin cover, set the bread pan on this and wrap well. When cooking a pot roust which seems tough, add a table spoonful of vinegar and steam with the cover on tightly. Cook In an Iron kettle adding a very little water from time to time and the most obstinate roast will become tender. Cook nil potato parings with any leftover futs like mutton on the bot tom of the frying kettle nnd sent to your chickens. Dried potato peel Ing3 will hum and clean out the chim ney at, the same time. vChange the flavor of the apple pie by adding a dash of lemon juice and a little grated rind, or the same of orange. When rolls need warming drop thera Into a paper bag and place In a hot oven; they will be crisp and fresh as new. A small brush broom Is useful to re move the corn silk. A tablespoonful of vlnegnr added to corn when cook ing on the cob will make It more tender and white. Postal scales will be found useful In weighing many small quantities of food In the kitchen. They take up lit tle room and are very convenient. A Good Breakfast Dish. Dip stale bread In cold water nnd place In the dripping pan to become hot and slight ly crisp. Heat canned tomatoes, sea soning with pepper and salt and add ing butter to-enrich. Butter the hot bread nnd pour over the hot tomatoes. Cinnamon Rolls. Roll out the dough until one-hnlf Inch thick,' spreod gen erously with butter and, sprinkle thickly with, cinnamon ond brown wignr mixed with a few chopped tints. Long Period of Mourning. Mourning fashions In some of the foreign quarters go to lengths that to the avernge American seem unreason able. For instance, In the Sicilian quorters, when the father of a family dies, his wife and daughters are ex pected to dress In mourning Indefin itely. No matter how young a girl Is, she is expected to wear dead black all through her girlhood until she is en gaged to be married. Of course, the rule Is not closely observed, but no girl breaks It, even with the consent of her mother, without coming In for some criticism. Three years of wear ing mourning are quite usual.

Schoolboy's Composition on" "Lambs" That Is Certainly Nothing If Not Strictly Original. ; The teacher, with a class of fourth grade boys, considers her profession anything but boresome. "Few would be bored If they could look over the com positions my children turn In," she con fided to the Woman. She invited her to glance over a certnin choice piece of liternture ; the "thesis," as she calls it, follows: "Story on Lambs "Lamb is a noun and Its a common one, to, only when it gets tough its mutton. I don't like It then because Its harder to chew. When its alive be fore Its killed and sent to the booehers Its called a sheep because its an old lamb. It eats a lot of grass and when you by it in the booehers you must know the different parts because some are fat nnd some are skinny. You al ways must cook them because you can't eat them roar. They take the wool off the lambs back and wash It because it Is always dirty and then they put it in ink to make It black and then make stockings and suits out of It. I have a blue suit and I guess they put -t in bluing to make It that way. Thats all I know about lambs.": Chicago Journal. Allies Relinquish Siberian Railway. . Washington, D.
