WILL CLOSE CAMPAIGN
Last Tuesday afternoon, Senator
Senator George W. Chamberlain ad­
dressed the people of the project, on
the issues of the day in the Play
House. There was a very good crowd
out to hear the Senator, and several
of the candidates running for coun­
ty offices.
Senator Chamberlain made a cork­
ing good address, and all who heard
hiw were well repaid for attending
the otherwise tiresome meeting. The
Senator was a guest at the Commer­
cial club dinner, after which he
spoke in the theatre. Several of the
candidates for county offices were
also at the club dinner, but the time
was so short that President Dodd on­
ly called on Senator Chamberlain to
say a few words. The Senator only
said that he hoped all those wearing
Stanfield badges would come to the
theatre to hear him speak.

Nearly Completed
Great activity on the High School
athletic field this week resulted in
an excellent football field for the
school boys, and they received much
encouragement in their efforts to
do a good Job. Many of the business
men of the town gave up most of the
day to directing the work and Wed-
nesday morning truck loads of dirt
were coming in at the rate of one
every seven minutes. The dirt was
hauled in from near George Corse's
ranch, and the loading was under the
direction of Earl Kingsley.
Spreading the dirt at the field was
in charge of Bill Warner, Henry Hitt,
Pat Siscel and a number of other men
who are interested in seeing the boys
have good grounds. They expect to
have it in shape to give Stanfield/a
hard fight Friday afternoon.
Red Cross to Care for Home Cases
The county has turned over all
charity cases that come up locally to
the care of the Hermiston chapter of
the Red Cross. This is with the ex­
ception of contagious cases which
will be looked after by the proper au­
thorities or those directly under the
county supervision. Cases close to
Pendleton will be cared for by the
Pendleton Associated Charities.
Local people who respond to the
Red Cross drive will thus be assured
that cases in this vicinity will be the
recipients of their generosity.

COOKING DEMONSTRATION
AT SAPPERS’
+Q
ON WITH THE FIGHT
Press dispatches tell us that for
months a bitter fight has been wag­
ed by the retailer and the consumer
against the manufacturer and the
wholesaler.
,
The bone of contention is the low­
ering of prices.
The consumer is tired of paying
profiteering prices for everything, he
buys. He is calling a halt by cur­
tailing his expenditures.
The retailer is as desirous of a re-
the loss of trade through the deter­
mination of the consumer to buy only
absolute necessities until such time
as prices return to normal.
hTe retailer is as desirous of a re­
duction in prices as is the consumer,
and is fighting the manufacturer and
the wholesaler to this end.
The latter, however, appears to be
loath to surrender his excessive prof­
its, and is holding out to the end.
That end, when it comes, may pos­
sibly be a federal grand jury indict­
ment for profiteering.
The government, the retailer and
the consumer when working together
are decidedly more powerful than the
manufacturer and the middleman.
Stubbornness and greed'may suc­
ceed for a time, but It gets a jolt in
the end.
Still More Sidewalks
I Woe betide the sewing machine
agent or the candidates for election
In their house-to-house canvass this
week, for all the housewives have
been spending their afternoons at
Sappers' Inc. If they turn out as
well on election day the candidates
needn't worry anyway.
All this week a magician by the
name of Professor Becker has been
working wonders in cookery in Sap-
pere’ and the S. R. O. sign has been
out all week. Professor Becker is
teaching the women of Hermiston
how to keep from using all the dishes
in the house in making a one-egg
cake, how to make perfectly round
(likewise perfectly delicious) cookies
without rolling or cutting them, how
to make a cake that the man of the
house doesn’t have to tip-toe round
the house for half an hour, and other
things that will tend to make the
home happy.
Housewives of many years exper- •
lence are learning things each day,
and housewives of only a few months
experience are filling the front« row
seats. It might he mentioned also
that a fringe of men is always on the
outskirts of the crowd, the fact that
everything cooked during the after-
noons' demonstrations Is " passed
around for immediate consumption
by the audience probably has noth­
ing to do with that.
Professor Becker is an interesting
and Instructive talker and his meth­
ods of work are illuminating to the
housekeepers that are going every
day - to the store. One can hardly
believe that the quick-moving, hum-
orous man who accomplishes so easily
what a woman calls work and he
makes play of it, is a man of over 60
years. He was born in 1839 and
has been cooking for 87 years. He
and the famous "Jim" Hill were em­
ployed many years ago on a Missis-
sippl river steamboat. Hill as clerk
and Mr. Lecker as steward.
The cooking demonstration this
week Is in connection with the die-
play and special sale of the Majeetic
range.
