The directors of the big frontier show offered to eon tribute the entire net proceeds to the Red Cross and the offer was accepted by the orgonuation"s representatives yesterdoy. The ninth of Pendleton's famous epic dramas of tb.e west will be held on September 19, 20 and 21 and, de spite the fact that some of the fa mous cowboys and buckaroos have answered the call of their country and are now bulldosrging the Huu I somewhere in Franse, there will be i i competition aplenty for the prizes ; and trophies. The usual program iof ild west sports will be presented ! but there w ill be added touches of j the military and patriotic iu keeping I w ith the spirit of wartime. I N'o person has ever received a sal-1 ary or dividend from the Round-Li but heretofore the profits of the show ' have been devoted to civic improve ' ments in Pendleton. In these times, however, the directors decided that I such improvements should give way j to war enterprises, and made their offer accordingly.

Three lawyers have declined to bring suit for a prominent New York busi ness man upon the ground thnt it would be "unethical," yet each admits that the Injury In the case cannot lie disputed and that there ought to be some way in which the business man could secure Just relief. Should a lawyer be found willing to bring the suit, some extraordinary precedent rulings may be expected. Recently, says the New York corre spondent of the Cincinnati Times Star, the business man bought a "re built motorcar. He found, first, that it wouldn't run; second, that it dif fered, mechnnicnlly, from a specilic promise in the bill of sale, and, third, that the car delivered to him was not the one shown him by the salesman. He sued to recover the money he had paid and the jury in the case, after being out one minute, returned a judgment in full for the amount claimed. The firm which hud sold the car appealed for a new trinl solely upon the ground that the judge had left the bench for a few minutes while the lawyers were summing up. Alter the usual delay, the court of appeals passea on me appeal and granted it new trinl. Meanwhile, the witnesses necessary for the proof of the plain tiff's case had disappeared, the most important having gone into the army. For years it had been the custom of New York judges to go out into their private office to smoke during the summing up of unimportant civil cases. No one had thought of making that a ground for an appeal until about two months before the trial of the auto mobile case, at which time an appeal had been based on that ground ami had been granted. The judge in the automobile case hadn't read about this other case in the newspapers and no one had happened to mention it to him. Therefore, be went out to smoke as usual. The business man now proposes to sue the county of New York for dam ages sustained through the incompe tence and carelessness of one of Its servants the judge. FROM ALLSBURCES Britain Gathered Small Boats for Tigris Service. Use an Ingenious Cede. Two persons having a copy of a dic tionary of the same editio make up the message which they send by the number of the page and the number of the words counted down the column of the page, for example, the word "Ship" might be 30-17, thirty being the num ber of the page and 17 the number of the line In which the word "ship" ap pears in the book used as a cipher. In the opening of the war, when the English were treating the captured German officers as courteous enemies, one of these devices, it is said, was made use of for getting Information out of England, with respect to Eng lish destroyers, their number and equipment. An officer pretended to be interested in the English game of golf. He endeavored to learn it and appeared to be exceedingly enthusi astic. The letters' whidi'he was per mitted to send out to his wife in Dres den were filled with details of the game, which permitted an abundance of figures on strokes and distances. Important information with respect to the English admiralty was conveyed to the German staff through the medium of the apparently harmless letters of this convert to the English game. The book used for the cipher was a certain English edition of Shakespeare, of which there was a copy in the Dres den public library. Everybody's. I?

"For the nrst time in the history of warfare," says the New York Med ical Journal, "mental hygiene us prac ticed among the soldiers is given the prominence It deserves, and, proiiting by the experience of England and France in the present war, the sur gfion general was Impelled to Inaugu rate an elaborate organization, both In number and plan, to take care of any mental disturbances detect. m1 in the camps or among the soldiei-s dur ing the war. This is a distinct inno vation in the medlral army work, for the subjects of the mental hygiene and of mental and nervous diseases in general as occurring among sol dier in wartime were for many rea sons cither slightly treated or neg lected altogether." Even Small Excursion Vessel That Were a Feature of Outings on the Thames Were Made Use Of in Mesopotamia. Elver boats for the Tigris were nn absolute, primary necessity. They could not be built in Mesopotamia or anywhere else In time to relieve the desperate situation. They could not be materialized !y the wave of any magician's wand. Well, what then? Then they would have to come out of other rivers otherwhere and make their various ways somehow no mut ter how ! across the seas and up through the Persian gulf, writes El eanor Franklin Eg.w In Saturday Evening Post. , They were requisitioned from the Ganges and the Indus and the Ira wadi, from the Nile and the rivers of Africa, and even from the SiUiang, the Yang-tse and the Hwang-ho, From everywhere they have come; It has been one of the bravest and strangest achievements of the war, and one hears with a feeling of espe cially chill regret that more than eighty of the ships have failed to ar rive. A few from everywhere bavo gone along with the high hopes of British sailors, and usually with the sailors, too to the bottom of the seas they were never made to ven ture on. But the Thames penny steamers? Where is it you go on the Thames penny steamers? To Richmond? To Putney? To Henley? To (pieer little landings here and there round Lon don where crowds of people gather on gala days and where happy sum mer memories are made? Yes, to places like that. There is a holiday sound in the very name Thames penny steamer. And 1 wonder If there are many Englishmen with no memories to make that sound music in their ears? Fut the, Thames penny steamers, too, were needed on the Tigris to help meet the tremendous emergency. So bravely they set out. Eleven of them started, but only Ave of them achieved the Impossible. Five of them got to the Tigris and are now listed by num ber In the great fleet under a class initial, though I think I ought to add that by British officers and men they are especially Identified and espe cially loved. As I watched the curious, flat-bottomed, high tunneled, double decked, paddle wheeled little craft churning briskly downstream with her two crowded barges In tow I was seeing visions of the kind of heroism that makes one prayerful. I saw first the matter of fact, nonchalant British sailors on her frail decks preparing for such a voyage as was never be fore undertaken; then I saw her her sides boarded up and her one-time spick and spnnness begrimed with the coal that had to be stowed In ev ery possible space moving out of the snug security of the busy, hustling, city bounded Thames into the open, high rolling Atlantic. I followed her course across the perilous Bay of Bis cay and saw her creep down the long coasts of Portugal and Spain and through the strait past Gibraltar. After Gibraltar would come a hope ful, careful, long crawl across the mine strewn and submarine infwted Mediterranean. Port Said in safety!

That was the chief danger they all had to face; they and the hun dreds of others from other ' faraway rivers, too. Eighty of the others went down and six of the Thames boats. Eighty-six! They should be honor ably counted among England's honor able losses ut sea, and they never have been. Lend Your Pennies to the Government! Powerful Engines. Maj. E. A. Bishop, an English fye. says In London Answers: "The mod ern fighting scout and to my mind the single-sealer is the only real air plane for offensive work may have the power of 200 horses throbbing in Its wonderful engine. Home of the machines are very slender, of waist and almost transparent of wing. Air planes do not thrust their warlike na ture upon the casual observer. One has to look twice before definitely lo cating the gun or guns attached ho unobstructlvely to the framework and synchronized, where . necessary, to shoot through the whirring propeller in front" That is the spirit which will help America win the war. That is the THRIFT spirit. There is a place for the pennies put them in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. This store is cooperating with the Government in food convervation. "Ground In Hamburg." One of the curious news outcrop pings of the war comes from Shef field, the home 7f English cutlery.

Actual stocking of New York's new fish ponds In the beds of the old Erie and Champlain canals is In full swing. The necessary construction work has been completed and the fish used for stocking purposes are being rushed from various points to the canals and liberated at once. The first consignment consisted of a large number of yellow perch fry, which were planted In one of the sec tions of the old Krie canal near Am sterdam. According to the conserva tion commission, a qui'ntlty of perch spnw'n was collected by state em ployees In Adirondack lakes, where these llsh are a menace to other fishes in the same waters. Its removal is therefore accomplishing a double benefit.
