FIRE PREVENTION
This Is fire prevention week'and
I. E. Putman, local fire chief asks
that the people give special thought
to the subject this week.
Films have been ordered by Mr.
Putman and when they arrive they
will be exhibited at the public
schools. Some talks are also In pros
pect at the schools on the topic of
fire prevention. The Idea of the
campaign is to wake the public up
to the danger of fire, before and not
after the fire comes.
•Around almost any home or place
of business may be found old rags,
sometimes soaked in oil or grease,
old papers, shavings and other rub
bish in which fire can easily get a
sta*t. This city has had a very de
structive fire within the Inst month
and it should hardly be necessary to
call attention to the danger here.
It makes no difference if we are in
sured. The Insurance never entirely
covers the loss and If It did. the fire
might spread to other property nbt
Insured. Accidental fire la one of tho
greatest destructive fortes we have.
As far as property Is concerned it
is as bad as war.
wV In Hermiston are asked this
week to clean up any sources of dan.
ger there may be on our premises.
We are asked to make a resolbitton
to be more careful about fires in the
future than we have been In the
past. The fire boys who have made
something of a study of the subject
will be glad to help-anyone with sug
gestions. So let’s all dq our part.
A,GOOD SHOW
The dairy and hog show Is over
until next year when It will be back
again, better than ever.
It was the opinion of most of thope
who saw this year’s show that It was
the1 beet ever held here. If that Is
true It Is perhaps due to two changes
which were mads this year. In the
first place the show .was made to cov
er a bigger Held. Prizes were added
for things for which no prtxes had
been ofered last year. Horses were
added to the show and there was a
good Exhibit of sheep.
In short the show was made inter
esting to more people. We are aware
that many oppose extending the scope
of the show^on the ground that dairy
and hog raising are the two indust
ries that need most to be encouraged
and that giving premiums to other
exhibits reduces the ones that can be
given to the two leaders. This is a
problem which we trust that a more
liberal appropriation from the coun
ty court next year will practically
settle. Certainly the money should
not be lacking to. encourage all the
industries upon which the west end
depends. We believe the dairy and
hog show is destined to grow into a
county fair for this end of Hie county
in which dairying and hog raising
will always h ive the main part be
cause they are the leading industries
but in which the other Industries like
fruit, vegetables, honey an# poultry
will have their proper part.
In another respect t|ie show gave
something a little out of the ordinary
this year. This was in the sports
program, the football game which
s hould be made an annual event, the
foot races, the pulling contest and
he horse races. No matter how much
nterested we may be In the exhibits
we all want some amusement when
we'go to a show and the sports help
to furnish it. A good program of
ports will always mean better
crowds.
Mqanwhile the commirtiity has
cause to feel grateful to those who
contributed services and money to
make the show a success. The pres
ident and directors of the show have
given time for which there will be no
recompense except the satisfaction of
having accomplished something for
the good of the comunity. The sup
erintendents of the various divisions
of the show gave a lot of time and so
did the men and women who worked
getting the grounds ready and pre
paring the exhibits. So also the
business men gave money.
It was a good show and a credit to
all who took part.

LOGIC UNASSAILEBLE
Weston Leader
Here Is an argument by Professor
Leacock, quoted in Collier's, that is
virtually unanswerable. It would b
worth reading at the forthcoming
peace conference: “Simp’e though
the proposition is, few people realize
¿hat there is no such thing as a
stiong navy; the phrase merely
means stronger than some one else’B;
that is all. A strong navy Is like a
long stick or a big stone; It is only
:o by comparison. The strongest
navy is weak when a big one is put
beside It. It is- ftot possible for any
nation to have a strong navy unless
it can persuade the other nations to
have weak ones, or unless it can so
exceed the other nations in men and
money and material that It acn out
build tjieir utmost efforts. But If
there are two or three nations more
or less evenly «latched, then the com
petitive building has no end; each
new effort forces another; a naval
budget of 60,000,000 pounds'sterling
calls forth a corresponding amount
of American dollars or of Japanese
yen. However great the effort, there
!s nothing in It that can be ultimate;
it must be overpassed next time; the
taxpayer with his burden on his back
struggles vainly forward always In
pursuit of the will-o’-the whisp of se
curity that dances out of reach over
thi marsh In which he sinks.”
