Pagt two has the editor ials, mora ads, a listing of short personal Items. Tbt editorials seem to endorse Democrats and the lead one attacks the Heppner Gazette which seems to have suiir ted the Republicans In the primary election, strong phr ases are used; "Like an-lnk-qu!d of the sea that dis colors the water around it when pursued by a superior force or about to seize its prey, the Gazette has thrown out unlimited quantities of Ingeniously-concocted rot and surrounded Itself and the ring with a cloud of deceit, in the vain effort to eludt defeat and gobble up voters whom it hoped to blind. But the majority of voters of this county know the charac ter of the ring, the manner in which the republican prim aries and convention were wo rked, and can see through the delusions with which the ring organ would hide the whole disreputable business. Con fident of its strength, the ring did its work with such arrogance and Impudence that its designs were apparent. It went too far and aroused an opposition the strength of which it has not calculated. Seeing too late the storm it had created and which threa tened to overwhelm it, the Gazette was made its organ and defender, and that paper has by every means at its command tried to lessen the probability of defeat for the republican county ticket." SEVERAL SHORT ITEMS Also attacks "Republi can Ring". For example: "Bunchgrassers will not cast their votes to joint senator in favor of a man who con siders them as so much mer chandise, to be bought for $2.50 each in cash or aroll of barbed wire and a side of bacon."

FROM WOMAN'S WORLD The bottom section of the Woman's world column Is "What Can 1 Do?" and gives saga advise: "A hundred thousand girls In different parts of the Union are now asking themslvea and all their friends what they shall do for a living. The answer Is easy. Do that which you like best and can do best. In every sensible, Intelligent girl's soul there is an Intui tion that one certain kind of work is what she can do best, and will call out all the en thusiasm of her soul. ' The occupation may be a humble one In the world's eyes. No matter. It Is your work. It Is wrong and wicked for parents to force either girls or boys Into occupations that are distasteful to them. Many a starving sixteenth-rate mu sician would have made a first-class cook. So choose your own occupation, and then work up to the highest In it. Do not stop till you reach the highest. A genius is one who never gives up. Every boy and girl has high and dazz ling dreams of the future. The strong and the persev ering realize those dreams in one shape or another, per haps not always as they first expected, but In a nobler, better way often. So-. eiMs". find your ideal work for your selves, and then do it joy fully and in the ideal way. Make your dreams rea lities." Looks like" doing your own thing" was going, in 1890. according to the column in the Lexington Weekly Bud get --so what is really new? 1 ' ' en
