The slogan of the Pendleton j Indian camp and saw the red
Itoundun. "Let'cr Luck," is ; men
known wherever the good, old
United States language is spoken
and wherever and whenever the
words are road, or heard, or
uttered they call up a picture of
intense activity of bucking
bulls, and pitching horses, of
sun-baked cowboys and be-featheu-d
Indians, of .cheering
men and applauding women, of
dust and sweat and sunshine, of
the biggest show on earth and
the only one except the Passion
Play at Oberammergau that is
put on as a strictly community
enterprise from which no man
receives one penny of profits and
to which every man connected
with its promotion and manage
ment digs up his little old four
bits every time he passes the
turnstile inward bound.
The slogan, "Let'er Buck,"
means more at Pendleton than it
might in many towns. Too many
communities have initiated some
smaller public enterprise there
is but one Pendleton and one
Roundup only to sit down again
and sleepily murmur, "let'er
buck," and the cayuso, finding
the saddle empty, no quirt biting
nor spurs tickling his ribs soon
simmers down and goes to graz
ing in the fence corner.
That, however, is not the
Pendleton way. When Pendle
ton takes a reef in her belt and
yells ''Let'er Buck," why, she
bucks, and that's all there is too
it. She bucks, son, and she
bucks proper no erowhopping
business, no riding vv ith a "roll,"
no tugging at a "buck strap."
That particular broncho is going
to be ridden "straight up" and
lie is going to have the time of
his life while the performance
is going on.
At least that is the way it
occured to this writer during a
recent visit to Pendleton, on the
occasion of the annual eonven-
dance--and incidentally
made the bucks buck by trying
to snap-shot them we bucked
down to the Eastern Oregon
Hospital (nut house) inspected
the institution and inmates, one
of whom remarked to another as
we passed through, "Gee; Doc
brought in a big bunch of new
ones to-night, didn't he?" buck
ed into the banquet hall and
proved our partial sanity by en
joying the spread; bucked aboard
a special train of Pullmans and
bucked our way out through La
Grande, on up to Joseph, and
with the aid of the big men of
big, little Joseph, and their big
7-passener cars, we bucked out
to the head of Wallowa lake
where we bucked our way thru
mountains of cantaloups, ham
and eggs, camp bread and coffee
at breakfast and more mountains
of fried trout etc. for dinner as
guests of the Josephites. Bede,
of Cottage Grove, even insisted
on bucking his way to the top
most peak of a majestic mountain
where he photographed his com
panion on the dizzy peak in
proof that that particular mount
ain had been fairly Captain
Cooked. Phil Bates bucked him
self into the lake and a pair of
trouseretts, made a failure in the
part of mermaid but might easi
ly have qualified as a flounder.
We bucked back to LaGrande
commissioner' Yet the bond
issue was savagely fought by the
Lane county court, and a record
majority against the measure
voted by the people. To cap the
opposition, the Lane county
court has rejected the offer of
the State Highway commission
to take over the Pacific higway
from Cottage Grove to Douglas
county and hard surface it, and
instead appropriated $0000 to
macadamize it.
This is probably the finest
bonehead play of the many bone
head plays indulged in by the
opposition to the state road bond
issue where a paved road at
state expense is turned down for
a makeshift macadamized road
at county expense. Evidently
paved roads are not wanted in
Lane county and the taxpayers
cheerfully tax themselves to
keep from having them.
The incident demonstrates very
clearly the workings of the re
actionary mossback mind that is
opposed to innovation and pro
gress from principle and hence
always opposed to bonding for
permanent highways, yet willing
to be taxed for temporary im
provements in the streaks of
mire he wallows in half the year.
The State Highway commission
should pass up Lane county and
all other counties which spurn
good roads and spend the bond
money in counties that are glad
to co-operate in securing them.

Peanut Butter Soup.
In these 'lays of high prices it may
be useful to housewives to learu how to
muka a delicious, nourishing soup, a
quart of which may he made for a
uoininni cost. This is a puree of pea
nut butter or cream of peanut soup.
It can also be made in less than ten
minutes, thereby costing very little for
fuel.
The Ingredients are three cupfuls
of milk, a cupful of boiling water, half
a cupful of peanut butter, a teaspoon
ful of salt, half a teaspoonful of nut
meg, a tablespoonful of cornstarch, a
dash of pepper and a tablespoonful of
cut parsley.
While the milk Is heating mix the
peanut butter with the boiling water
and work It smooth, then add to the
boiling milk. Mis the cornstarch with
a little cold milk and add to the hot
milk. Add the salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Boil for three minutes and sprinkle
with parsley. Serve with little crack
ers. Washington Star.
Snapping Down the Rugs.
The press button system with which
we are familiar in gloves and garments
has been applied by a European inven
tor for fixing carpets, tapestry hang
ings and the like, says the Scientific
American. For instance, a small spring
soiket is inserted flush with the floor,
and the carpet carries a corresponding
projection, so that all that is needed
to lay a carpet or rug is to push the
buttons into the sockets. -
Again, the projections are mounted
along a stout tape band and the sock
ets on another, quite like the usual
pressure button. One tape is sewed
to the rug, and another can be tacked
down upon an already laid carpet, so
tbut the rug can be laid or removed
instantly.
Hangings can be put on the walls in
the sume way. Curtains or portieres
can also be mounted, and all Buch
material can be at once removed for
cleaning. In case of fire valuable
hangings can be saved.

Children.
Children are God's own creation. And
It would bo wise to follow his own di
rection about the growth of our chil
dren's mind toward freedom and light.
The highest education Is that which
does not merely give us information,
but makes our life in harmony with all
existence.
Children are in love with life, and it
is their first love. They are not born
ascetics, lit to enter at once into the
monastic discipline of acquiring knowl
edge. At Urst they must gather knowl
edge through their love of life, and
then they will renounce their lives to
gain knowledge, and then again they
will come back to their fuller lives with
ripened wisdom. Itabindranath Tagore
