(Longest in the world.) OFFICIAL PAPER OF THE CITY OF KLAMATH FALLS "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as vx understand it" Abraham Lincoln A MAN OF HIS WORD Marshal Foch not excepted, there is no distinguished foreigner who has visited our shores to whom we would rather take off our hats than to Pa;:vo Xurmi. We should like to think of him as n Ameri- ;n not because he is the world's greatest runner, but bet ruse of the kind of man-who-keeps-his-word he is: but at :nv such intimation all his fellow Finns in that for-off littlo country, stuck in between the Arctic snows and Russia, would make din of i roi?st that would jam the static of all the world's radio sets. lz is Finland's own, her joy and pride. On lis American visit he has upset all athletic tra ditions. Professional coaches who nurse their athletes as if they were mad? cf glass, and will not let them do more than a little warming up sprint two or three days before they race, have seen Paavo running every day. always ready to run, training for races by racing, while ha ion tinued his victories and breaking of records. All this as an amateur for the game's sake. He was offered 100,000 to turn professional. A lot of money that to a poor young Finn, and especially back in Finland. But he had promised the home athletic as sociation that he would not become professional while absent. Temptation whispered that he could find plentv of excuses to take that fortune, his for signing his name, and never return home. Not so. Paavo might be poor.' but he would keep his faith with himself and his country men. Turn on the aurora borealis! What a reception he will have when he lands in Finland after his American triumphs! All the mother and father and grandmother and grandfather Finns, and all the little Finns, will be there to welcome their Paavo. Then, maybe, that home athletic association will say: "All rieht, boy, go back to America and make the money, and then come home to marry a Finnish girl and grow up a family of Finnish runners." Even at the risk of jamming the radio sets we offer the suggestion that Paavo. who is the kind of citizen we want, settle here and marry an American girl and grow some American runners to keep our score high at future Olympic games. o SO IT ALWAYS IS Some weeks ago the stock market and the wheat pit were booming and the fellows who had bought low were Belling out high to the outsiders who had just caught the fever. Since then stocks have dropped and wheat has gone tumbling. Many who came in too late and bought high have now to sell low. These have, learned by ex perience, if they would not take advice, not to try to beat the experts at their own game, which is as foolish as expecting that by reading a book on how to bat home runs you can be a Babe Ruth. It is hoped that no man who was a grower of wheat bought wheat on margin at the high, hoping for a further rise. He has lost money enough on the drop in the price of his crop. Meanwhile, all who have their money in savings banks or in sound bonds or home investments are drawing their interest as usual and our government is back of our war risk insurance.

T''e room teamed to lie full of rhtirkl.n, Admah saw It clearly now; the steep bank with the eddy below and i'a Jloltz. smokinje his pine, waiting for darkness. That s the way to cl'an the flate when you can't make head or tail of the figures. ju-.t rub 'em out. I as. inated l.y this easy thought Admah crawled on all fours to the ery edge of the wharf and poised there an Instant like a gargoyle. . . . "Hey, mister!" The challenge, thin and drawling, brought him nervously upright, home thing twisted and shaggy like a scare crow approached hira through the dim ness. "Mister, ef ye ain't keerful yere liable to d.-ap oil." jierslsted the thin voice which sounded a.s thought it came from a b-.dy without lungs. "I reckon so." agreed Admah, guiltily conscious that the intruder had guessed his temptation. He saw a face, scabby and twisted as the body beneath It. "Ye don't belong on thisyer wharf no nio'n I do." whined the specter. "Hut y' ain't the kind that rides I'r.-e like po' folks does. I got a free pass on the boat. Tec-hee. Right smart of a boat, but dry." His jaws seemed to crack with dryness. "Ain't got a chaw o' tobaeker on yer clothes?" Admah found a cigar which he gave to the man. "Seegar" Ooshamlghty!" He bit It In two and chewed disgustingly. "It s a sho nulf dry spell, ain t It. mister." "Where do you get your liquor'" asked Admah thickly. He recognized the man as one of the waterrats who spend their summer In leaky huts along the flats and are flooded out with the river-rise In Spring. "Y'aint tellin'T" The water rat winked his little oozy eyes In Adman's face. CHAPTER 77 They plunged ahead through a sort of alcolohlc fog. Through coal yards past warehouses, up one alley, down another, round ridiculous whitewashed corners that smelt of open sewage- It was as though a corpse had arisen' to guide Admah into some unclean mis chief or to show hira such another troll dance as Peter Gynt witnessed when he threw away his soul.
