"Know America" 1b a slogan that
should ring out from every school
I room, office, (arm and shop in this na
I tlon. No man can aspire to a higher
honor than to become a capable cltl
i zen, and no one can merit so dis
j tingulshed a title until he is well in
formed of the resources, possibilities
and achievements of our country.
This is a commercial age and civ
ilization Is bearing its most golden
fruit In America. We are noted tor
our industrial achievements as Egypt
was noted for her pyramids; Jerusa
lem for her religion; Greece for her
art; Phoenicia for her fleets; Chaldea
for her astronomy and Rome for her
laws. Likewise we have men who will
go down in the .world's history as pow
erful products of their age. For, stand
ing at the source of every gigantic
movement that sways civilization is a
great man. The greatest minds travel
in the greatest direction and the com
mercial geniuses of this age would
have been the sculptors, poets, phil
osophers, architects, and artists of
earlier civilizations.
As Michael Angelo took a rock and
with a chisel hewed it into the image
of an angel that ever beckons man
kind upward and onward, Hill took
the desert of the Northwest and with
bands of steel made it blossom like a
rose, dotted the valleys with happy
homes and built cities in waste places.
As Quttenberg took blocks of wood
and whittled them into an alphabet
and . made a printing press that
flashed education across the con

a reaper and with one sweep of

that enslaved labor of generations yet

from drudgery, and lifted the human
race Into a higher zone of life.
As Nelson organized the English navy
and made England mistress of the sea,
enabling the British Isles to plant her
flag upon every continent washed by
the ocean's waves, and to make foot
stools of the Islands of every water,
Morgan organized a banking system
that has made America master of the
world's finances, brought Kings to our
cashier's windows, the nations of the
earth to our discount desks and placed
under the industries of this nation a
financial system as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar.
There is no study quite so interest
ing as progress; no sound so magic
as tbe roar of Industry and no sight
so inspiring as civilization in action.
A full realization of America's part in
the great events of tbe world past,
present and future will thrill every
human heart with pride, patriotism
and faith in Republican institutions.
Through the courtesy of the Agri

ing and transportation systems which
are the wonder of the world. The
first article of the series will deal
with transportation and will appear
at an early date.

Frontier Days Announcement.
Announcement is made that Fron
tier Days, the greatest spectacular
show ever attempted, will again be
produced this fall at Walla Walla.
Frontier Days is like turning back
the pages of time and seeing this
western country as ft was in the days
before the grain fields and orchards,
and towns and farms, displaced the
fenceless hills and valleys with their
endless carpet of bunchgrass, their
thousands of head of cattle and hor
ses, the range riders, and cattle
branding corrals, the Indian tepees
and the picturesque savage; it is like
living the life of the pioneer over
again. There never was such a care
free, generous, reckless, wholesouled
life lived by another people as was
lived on the broad prairies and rug
ged hills of the western frontier;
there never has been staged such a
spectacular, realistic and thrilling
show as the Walla Walla Frontier
Days It is a show that causes the
red blood to flow faster in one's viens
and one's nerves to tingle with the
thrill of it; and the wonder of it all
is that it is REAL; it is a show with
out plot or foreordained situation
things just happen, and they happen
fast and furious, keeping the specta
tor at high tensor every minute
throughout the afternoon. One sits in
the commodious and comfortable
grandstand and witnesses the most
astounding show the world has ever
seen; a show where the characters
are real flesh and blood, sinew and
muscle. The horses one sees in ac
tion are the real bucking, jumping,
snorting, biting wild horses of the
western range; the cattle are the long
horned, wild creatures that are not
used to civilization and know nothing
of domesticity; the men and women,
are men and women gleaned from the
prairies and hills, and are of a type
that is fast disappearing; men and
women skilled from childhood in
horsemanship, in the use of the
branding iron and the sinuous larlet;
men and women who form and rep
resent a type of manhood and wo
man hood found nowhere else in the
world. Then there are the hundreds
of gaudily painted bucks and squaws,
with their "papooses" and "klootens"
just as they appeared and just as
they were a half a century and less
ago. Then there's the setting; the
wonderful natural yet stage-like set
ting. The Romans prided themselves
upon their great amphitheatre where
their heroes performed feats of skill
and daring, but their playground was
an insignificant affair compared to
the splendid arena of Frontier Days.
Sitting in the commodious grand
stand when one is not engaged In the
thrilling occupation of following the
play, one can find enjoyment, rest
and peace in the beauty of the land
scape that stretches out before one's
vision. This setting furnishes not
only charm for the eye, but it pecu
liarly fits in with the show itself
for hundreds of years probably the
Indians made this same spot their
camping ground, they appear here as
part of the natural coloring of the
landscape. So it is with the cow
boys, wild horses, and cattle; this
valley is their natural home, it knew
them for.mnre than a generation and
it appears as a matter of course that
they are here.
Conditions are changing fast; we
are leaving the old order behind and
merging into a new strange, though
fascinating age. The cowboy and
cowgirl, the wild cattle, and the
broncho will soon be no more; in a
very few years it will be impossible
to stage such a show as the Walla
Walla Frontier Days. In the mean
time'it is worth while to cherish this
great red-blooded show. It Is worth
crossing the continent to see; to
breath for the time the spirit of the
old west, and experience its frank
ness, its good-will, its freedom, Its
manliness and vigor. The children
of today will be telling their grand
children about this wonderful Bhow
in the coming years, when Frontier
Days and Frontier men and women,
and frontier animals shall be no
more.
The dates of this grent show are
Sept. 16, 17, and 18, 1915.
