Pearl Oil, the Standard Oil Company's kero
sene, is one of the most convenient and economi
cal fuels you can use. Easy to handle.
With a good oil cookstove you will cook in com-
fort all year 'round. Bakes, troi's, roasts, toasts
economically. Lights at the touch of a match.
No waiting for tires to come up. no unnecessary
work, no waste. Concentrates a steady heat on
the cooking leaving the kitchen cool and com
fortable. Pearl Oil is refined and re-refined by cur special
process which removes the impurities. It is clean
burning. '
Pearl Oil is for sale in bulk by dealers every
where. It is the same high-quality kerosene as
the Pearl Oil sold in five-gallon cans. There is a
saving by buying in bulk. Order by name Pearl
Oil.

WEATHER PROPHETS

A phantom snowstorm, an annual
event here when the rottotuvoods that
trrtiw so rankly along the Columbia
lowlands shed their blossoms, pre
vailed Tuesday, and numbers of the lo
cal wuHthervvise declare that hiyli
water of the Columbia has reached its
crest for the year.
While'the river began dropping Tues
day, riverinen are prone not to rrlv on
the fall of the I'ottonwond blooms this
season.
"1 go by the snow on Mount Iirli

Amos Underwood, who lived for more
than CO years in the mid-Columbia, al-way-B
said that the Columbia had not
reached its crest until the snow was oil'
Mount Metiance. The drifts still ap
pear well down on the side of the
mountain. 1 predict that the Colum
bia will go a good.bit higher yet."

The tuition owes a huge debt to
Senator Poindexter for the coura
geous stand he look when the original
covenant of the league of nations was
presented to the American public with
the run admonition, "Sign here." The
covenant came to this country Willi aU
the prestis.e Ihat the administration
press agents could give it by months
f oltlcial publicity; It came us a
Jarred docuineiil, to be accepted in
humility, and any proposal to change
It was olliclully denounced as sacri
legious. Senator Poindexter was one
of the few men in public life who was
neither overawed by the artificial
svlemnhy thrown around Ihe doouincni
nor intimidated by the unreasoned sen
timent In favor of it, a sentiment
founded largely on popular ignorance
of Just what the covenant meant.
As a result of the fearless ami clear
analysis of Senator Poindexter and
the few other senators who joined with
ti iiii, the covenant has been radically
altered, and public sentiment, once so
pnthusiasi ic for the original draft, now
recognizes the w isdom of the changes,

Senator Poindexter's speech was the
greatest thing that lias happened In
the senate since the War of ISti). I
heard It i nt and 1 never saw 111 ni In bet
ter form, with- all of bis tremendous
force in full play.
The life of ihe nation was about to
be destroyed and he was th llrst one
to raise bis voice in lis defense. The
others who look Issue against the
league of nations followed him, but he
was the first to take that sland. lie
has left nothing unsaid that could have
been said in defense of the Constitu
tion. While be spoke to the crowded gal
leries of distinguished visitors the past
arose before me like a dream. I could
see the lantern in the old Norih
('hutch and hear the clatter of gallop
ing feet as Paul lte ere rode out in the
night. I I'ould see Ihe fanners gather
ing along the lanes of Lexington and
hear the sharp reports of their rilles.
I beheld Washington with his troops
crossing the Delaware to altack Ihe
lb s-iati horde. Then I saw turndown
from the balllciiielils at Yorklown the
ling of ( "oriiwallis, and in its place
arose the Starry P.aimer, nevtr to be
lowered ai.'ain by human hands.
The issue this speech has created
will he the issue in the presidential
campaign. It overshadows everything
else taking place at the rapitol.

birthday a strange thing happened;

in provision for disarmament. It pro

so or not, upon what terms it will act,
what the relative proportions of uiili
