ble.’’—-Henry W. Grady.
The front page of the Oregonian
of Wednesday morning carried an
illustrated picture of Elmer David
son, 18-year-old prisoner at Louis-
ville, Ky., who had been foiled in
his attempt at suicide by guards,
His features were distorted by anger
and pain and was not a pleasant
sight to behold. Why should such
human emotions of those less for

It may be necessary for a news
paper to cater to a class of readers
who would prefer such publicity
but undoubtedly the majority prefer
a more elevating trend.
Few of us have outgrown the cir
cus—the smell of the wild animals
and dust, the trapese performances,
the trick horses, the daring Hon
trainer, the elephants and the blare
of the circus band hold their at
traction for both old and young. The
Al G. Barnes circus was complete in
variety, fulfilling its publicity that
told of eighteen tons of elephant
flesh, twenty Hons and tigers, doz
ens of beautifully trained horses
and hundreds of skilled performers.
The whole show brought back mem-
orles of our first circus which closed
in the flurry of a thunder storm
mingled with the roar of the lions.
The section of the Butter Creek
highway between the Echo road and
Hermiston is being prepared for oil

by the heavy traffic. Local peopole
have worked faithfully to bring
about this oiling work and are to
be congratulated.
The Motorist’s Prayer.
“Grant me a steady hand and

appeared in the London Church

The prayer is a reminder that
good driving is a Christian obliga-

FANCY DESIGNED
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE CHURCHES
«COUL AND BODY" was the
1 subject of the Lesson-Ser
mon in all Churches of Christ,
Scientist, on Sunday, May 24.
The Golden Text was, “Dearly
beloved, I beseech you as strang
ers and pilgrims, abstain from
fleshly lusts, which war against
the soul” (I Peter 2:11).
Among the citations which com-
prised the Lesson-Sermon was
the following from the Bible: "For
our conversation is in heaven;
from whence also we look for the
Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto
his glorious body, according to the
working whereby he is able even
to subdue all things unto himself”
(Phil. 3:20, 21).
The Lesson-Sermon also includ
ed the following correlative pass
ages from the Christian Science
textbook. “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures", by
Mary Baker Eddy: “Mortal mind
and body are one. Neither ex
ists without the other, and both
must be destroyed by immortal
Mind . . . When you say, ‘Man’s
body is material,’ I say with Paul:
‘Be willing rather to be absent
from the body, and to be present
with the Lord.’ Give up your ma
terial belief of mind in matter, and
have but one Mind, even God; for
this Mind forms its own likeness"
(pp. 177, 216).

T WAS springtime.
Soft winds
blew through meadows bright with
the drift of lupines. Creeks spilled
over their banks as melting snows
from distant slopes rushed torrential-
ly through them.
Jan Connors stood in the doorway
of his single-storied, unpainted shack,
casting speculative glances over his
section. He was a tall, gaunt, sandy-
haired young man, and his chin was
very square. He was mentally divid
ing his property into so much grazing
land, so much corn, so much wheat.
Mostly so much wheat. A good year
would retrieve the disasters of three
previous years, and would reconcile
Andrea to hanging on a spell longer.
Meanwhile what she lived on—and
he was well aware of it—was the
promise she had wrung from him In
one of his rare moments of discourag-
ment.
"Stick with me one more year,
sweetheart. If chis year's crop fails,
I'll quit and go home. I give you my
word.”
Three successive seasons had there
been of ruined acres. Drouth, wind,
grasshoppers. In Andrea’s mind, the
last had been by far the worst Never
would she forget the sickening little
devils which had blotted out the en
tire header as she drove it, had
crunched under her feet as she stepped
from table to sink, had dropped Into
her hair from beams and door lintel.
Constantly, as day succeeded day,
Andrea pondered the chances of Jan’s
wheat this year. She was convinced
that it would be better for Jan, for
her, for the children they hoped to
have, to go back to Jan’s home in Ohio
where he could step into his father’s
shoes when the old man died.
The wheat prospered, growing tall
and golden. From their low doorway
Jan and Andrea looked out each day
upon a yellow sea that billowed In the
perpetual prairie wind.
The morning came when Jan drove
to town to make arrangements for Its
purchase, its storing In the red grain
elevator beside the tracks, Its harvest

sundown and Andrea felt a certain re
lease with his absence. After all, a
one-room shack is a small place to
hold two people who nre not In com-
píete accord,
In the late afternoon she saw a
dark cloud lift above the horizon. A
thunderstorm? Wind? Please, Heav-
en. send lightning out of that black
ness to set fire to the wheat !
The cloud shifted to the south and
with It passed her hopes.
Andrea flung herself upon her knees
on the sod doorstep.

God." she prayed, “please send hail or
lightning or tire right now!”
But the golden wheat continued to
dip and wave, wave and dip. in the
prairie wind.
"If only I dared !” She spoke the
words aloud. The very sound of her
voice gave her courage, and she went
right on defiantly. “If I only dared,
I’d set tire to the wheat myself. Jan
would never know, and if he ever did
find out. he would thank me for it!”
Five minutes later she was flying
along the road with a box of matches
in her apron pocket.
At a point not too near the house
she crossed the plowed strip and
plunged Into the forest of wheat
stalks, Immediately becoming part of
them. The wind would carry the
flames away from the buildings and
what little wheat lay between would
not be burned.
She took the match box from her
pocket and something like a sigh
seemed to stir the grain. She frowned.
Why. the wheat was a huge creature.
It was vital. In it was life to be
passed on to other lives.
She had
never thought of that before. Of
wheat, ns a growing, living entity, To

der. Did she want to commit murder
Just to get herself out of a tight spot?
And had she any God-given right to
decide for Jan whnt was best for him?
She thrust the matches back into her
pocket. “Quitter!” she called herself
savagely. “Quitter!” Turning, she
ran and saw that Jan’s wagon was a
speck on the long white road that fell
and rose to the horizon.
Ue seemed tired. His eyes were
strained. But be flung a cheek Into
Andrea's lap. “I got my price, and It's
darn’ good. But I’m going to quit
right now. I said I’d quit if we failed,
but I’d rather go back after making
good."
She threw her arms about his neck.
Tears filled her blue eyes. "Let's stay,
Jannle. Let’s stay. At least until It's
grasshoppers again !”
“The Most Heroic Document"
On February 24, 1836, Col. William
B. Travis, commanding 150 Texans be
sieged by an overwhelming Mexican
force in the Alamo, sent out what has
been called "the most heroic document
In American history." After asking
reinforcements, Travis wrote: "I am
determined to sustain myself as long
as possible and to die like a soldier
who never forgets what is due to his
own honor or that of his country.” As
courageous as the heroes who died
when the Alamo fell, on March fi, were
their comrades who carried this and
other appeals for aid. With the tradì-
tional devotion to duty of all who
men's messages, they risked
death that others might live.

MAE WEST FILM TAKES
STAR TO FROZEN NORTH
Not even heavy fur swathings
can rob Mae West of a bit of her
charm and allure.
This is proven by her new film,
"Klondike Annie,” which comes to
the Oasis theatre Sunday for a three
day engagement. West, in the froz
en reaches of the Arctic, is wrapped
from head to foot in enormous rolls
of fur. The fact that she is every bit
as fascinating and appealing speaks
volumes for the personality which
has captured for her the admiration
of millions of motion picture fans
throughout the country.

Water hemlock
Whorled M ilkweed
PUBLIC ENEMIES NO. 1 AND NO. 2 AMONG PLANTS
Study these weeds and learn to recognize them. It may save the life
of your cow—or yourself. The water hemlock, on the left, often is con
fused with the wild parsnip, which is not poisonous. Yet water hemlock
is as deadly as a rattlesnake. It is not native of semiarid climatee. but it
is found along ditch banks and in moist places on irrigation projects.
Note the root, which haa been split, has transverse chambers. This is a
sure way to recognize the water hemlock. Study its leaves. It will pay
you to know the water hemlock for it is public enemy No. 1 among the
weeds. On the right is the whorled milkweed. Note the way leaves grow
around the stem. This weed is not as dangerous as water hemlock, but it
kills stock every now and then in the west. Get rid of it. It Is public
enemy No. 2 among the weeds.
