Pendleton, Ore., Aug. 14 Pen
dleton will stage her ninth annual
Round l"p next month for the benefit
of the Ked Cross. 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.

ALL BECAUSE JUDGE SMCKEO
County of New York It Threatened
With Action Which May Cost
the People Money.
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.

Britain Gathered Small Boats for

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.

Mental Hygiene for Defectives.
"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!
Then the Suez cannl contributing a
brief period of relaxation the Red
sea, the Arabian sea, the Persian
gulf, nnd flnallv with what a sigh
of relief the broad current of the
Shntel-Arnb nnd the ulniost ripple
less serenity of the blessed Tigris 1
I don't know what happened io the
six that failed, but one bears that
"their backs were broken by the high
seas." 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.

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.

Canals Now Fish Pond9.
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

spnw'n was collected by state em

these llsh are a menace to other fishes
in the same waters. Its removal is
therefore accomplishing a double
