Veme Elliott's Rodeo and "Sweetheart," America's
Premier High School Horse... Among Outstanding
Events at the Pacific International Livestock
Exposition, Portland, October 5 to October 12
Above illustration shows typical arena scene during the night
Horse Show.
Features on this year’s enter­
tainment program at the Pacific
International Livestock Exposi­
tion will, according to T. B. Wil­
cox, Jr., President, outdo those
of the pre-war shows in variety
and quality. Outstanding enter­
tainment is promised for the
thousands who will attend. After
four years without a show, they
will not be disappointed.
As always, the night Horse
Show will be a gala attraction
and, in many respects, it will be
even more brilliant than similar
shows of the past. Wilcox pointed
out that there has been a vast
improvement in Western and
gaited horses both during the
war and since its termination.
This development is certain to
have a marked effect upon the
quality of this year’s Horse Show
and it must be • remembered that,
for quality, the Pacific Interna­
tional’s Horse Show has for many
years been outstanding.
Again this year—just as was
the case for ten years prior to the
war—Verne Elliott and his Rodeo
will add luster to the Pacific In­
ternational Livestock Exposition.
A veteran producer, known wide­
ly and favorably the country over,
Elliott may be counted upon
to provide no end of thrills. As
usual, he will have with him a
number of talented assistants
some of whom are already well
■ known to Pacific International
followers. In addition, a number
of new faces will be seen this
year. All in all, a lively and di­
versified Rodeo is promised.
; Brand new for Portland will be
this year’s Calf Scramble, a fea­
ture which will provide plenty
of laughs for onlookers and which
will require plenty of skill $>n the
part of the 4-H boys who partici-

pate. The idea of the scramble
is that 4-H boys who can prove
themselves capable of “hanging
on” are awarded calves of better
than standard quality. Awards of
this type will be made at each
performance. Wherever the Calf
Scramble has been featured—at
Denver, Houston and other places
—it has proved a riot. The proved
success of this new attraction is
certain to enliven the Portland
show.
Another headline feature which
is bound to keep the whole Pa­
cific Northwest talking for
months after the show becomes
history will be the appearance,
at .this year’s show, of Carol
Henry and “Sweetheart,” Ameri­
ca’s premier High School horse.
“Sweetheart” has been shown all
over the United States and Cana­
da. Everywhere she has appeared,
she has left a trail of triumph
behind her. “Sweetheart," alone—
say those who have seen her in
action—will be well worth a visit
to the show.
Also in attendance will be the
famous Portland Police Band, a
musical organization which has
won honors far and wide.
Horse show entries will once
again provide brilliant exhibi­
tions of skilled horsemen and
women and their mounts. After
four long years without the priv­
ilege of watching these graceful
riders in action, residents of the
Pacific Northwest will welcome
the return of this lovely spectacle.
Exhibits at this year’s Pacific
International Livestock Exposi­
tion will include Beef and Dairy
Cattle, Sheep and Goats, Dogs,
Land Products and Industrial
Exhibits. All in all, the Exposi­
tion promises to repeat and sur­
pass its enviable records of
former years.

The Big Boss
Gets Ill
RONA MORRIS WORKMAN
ROCKING W RANCH
I don’t know if all husbands
are alike when it comes to being
ill, since I have been a bit old-
fashioned about keeping to one
husband for half a lifetime. How­
ever, judging from what I hear
and observe, I suspect that they
run more or less true to the
same form, which is one of the
reasons why the Colonel’s lady
and Judy O’Grady are so truly
sisters under their skins. The
majority of them howl to high
heaven over a mashed finger or
think they are going to die if
they have a slight cold, and then
when something really painful and
serious comes along they go all
he-man and brave—also stubborn
as a cow in the com patch—and
refuse to admit that they are ill.
I have read that men are merely
little boys grown up. Most of the
time they are rather sweet little
grown-up boys, but there are mo­
ment when any wife wishes that
her husband also resembled a
small boy physically so she could
turn him over her knee and apply
her hand where it would produce
the most satisfactory result. I
know. My Big Boss has been ill.
At first he was just plain cross
and cantankerous, so I was not
too much alarmed, then, when
simple remedies did not produce
cheer and happiness and he began
declaring that he was all right and
that he had “just a touch of stom­
ach flu”—or some fool thing like
that—I suggested seeing a doctor.
At that point he really stood
up on his hind legs and bellowed.
“Quit fussing over me,” he yelped.
“I’m all right, I tell you. What’s
the sense of always running to a
doctor? They never know what’s
the matter with a man, anyway.
I’ll just take a little Dumhicky’s
cure-all in some water and I’ll
be right as rain.” That clinched
the matter. I knew he was get­
ting really sick, but my impres­
sion, based on the way he was
acting, was that he should consult
a veterinarian instead of a doctor.
Even after thirty years’ experi­
ence with a husband I am. some­
times foolish enough to hope that
one can reason with them, so I
tried a sensible explanation and
argument, with the usual result.
He wasn’t quite sick enough for
me to handle that day, but the
next I didn’t bother to argue. I
called a doctor and made an ap­
pointment. I wonder what Long
Distance thought of the masculine
voice that tried to dominate my
conversation with violent asser­
tions that he was not going to
any doctor, ¡that there was abso­
lutely nothing the matter with
him, and so on until I finished
my call and broke the connec­
tion.
Did you ever try to get a man,
who is in that frame of mind,
dressed and ready for a trip?
Before you finally get him safely
on his way with a husky son to
look after him, you are past the
stage where you merely want to
spank him like a small boy, and
have developed a burning desire
to use a knotty club thickly stud­
ded with rusty nails, and the look
he gives you as he leaves would
blister if your skin hadn’t become
immune to it through the years
under similar circumstances. If
the doctor had said that the Big

Boss really did have some slight
ailment I would probably have
had to take to the woods for a
week or so, but my opinion was
vindicated. The doctor promptly
put him in the hospital.
My Big Boss has been in a
hospital many times, with illness
and with serious injuries, but we
were both younger then and I was
always very sure that he would
come through safely, besides, the
children would have been depend­
ent upon me if anything had
happened to him and that gave me
strength and courage. This time
it was different. As I sat by his
bed in that dreary hospital room,
watching his uneasy sleep under
a drug, I felt alone. Perhaps that
may seem strange, since I now
have eight children, by blood and
marriage, where once I had but
four I saw the Big Boss and
me as the tree-trunk and our
children strong young trees from
our roots, but now ready to lead
their lives apart from me, no
longer dependent upon my thought
and strength. If he went away
from thjp physical plane, I would
be but half a tree, standing alone.
I, alone, would have the memories
of those early years, of our hopes
and plans, some o£, them realized,
many dead, some lying dormant,
and for the first time in my life
I had the feeling of aloneness,
not of physical aloneness, but of
being alone with the years that
had gone. Hours seem very long
when you wait in a hospital, won­
dering if the new medicine will
again perform its magic, and you
think long, long thoughts, for
your hands are idle with no
blessed healing tasks to dull the
edge of waiting.
Then one day the doctor said
to take the patient home, keep
him in bed a few days feed him
light food, etc., end he made it
sound quite easy.
I merely
looked at him. I knew from past
experience that I would have an­
other battle on my hands. I was
right, as usual.
I got my patient home, and
he at once refused to go to bed.
Fortunately for me, his legs were
too wobbly to bear out his as­
sertion that he was as well as
ever and I put him between the
covers. Then he declared defiant­
ly that he was through with
“blanky-blank hospital sloj>s” and
wanted food, and what was more
he wasn’t going to eat in bed.
This went on for two days, after
which time he got stronger and I
got weaker, so he won out and got
up. It is a good idea, at this
stage of the struggle, to hide hat
and shoes, for no man will go very
far in bedroom slipper without
a hat. I struggled grimly for an­
other day or so to carry out the
doctor’s orders, then I gave in, re­
turned hat and shoes and turned
him loose. Immediately he got so
sweet and gentle that I was
frightened and wondered if he
were going to have a serious re.

lapse and was headed straight for
his heavenly home.
I need not have worried. Next
morning I heard a bellow from
the living room demanding where
in heck were his work gloves. He
told the wide world that he had
put them on the coffee table just
before he got sick and now they
were gone, and that a man could
never find anything in this house.
I breathed a long sigh of relief
and got the gloves for him. I
knew that he was entirely well
again, and things were once more
perfectly normal.

Bert Childers
and the Melon Patch
Bert Childers put an ad in the
Clarion the other day. Here’s what
it said:
“Planted more melons than I
can eat this year. Stop by and pick
as many as you want. All free.”
As you can guess, plenty of folks
sent their kids over and plenty of
the parents came too. Stripped
Bert’s melon patch in no time. And
as they went away, Bert treated
the kids to lemonade, and offered
the grownups a glass of ice-cold
sparkling beer.
Naturally it puzzled some folks
... but Bert explains: “It gives me
a kick to share things when I can
afford to—whether it’s the melons,
or the lemonade, or beer. I guess I
just like to indulge my whims.”
From where I sit, if we had more
“self-indulgent” people like Bert
—who believe in share and 3hare
alike, live and let live, this tired
world would be a whole lot better
off!
