i 1 For
The young mother thinks, when she hi
completed tlif lmhy garments that are to
clothe the Utile form. But she is not all
ready for baby's coming, unless she has
done something more for the baby than
merely to prepare bis clothes. Many a
, young niot.KT who noes through hours
of pqSMkmd suffering wonders why it was
Q not (PJihle to prepare in eonie way for
X the Wluy's advent, ad to avoid the
agony that seemed almost unendurable.
Dr. Pierce s Favorite Prescription is the
one medicine for women which prepares
them perfectly, both for the burdens und
pleasures of maternity. It prevents the
morning sickness from which so many
women suCer. It strengthen tlie who!,
body, so that there is no iieirotKini-s nor
anxiety. It promotes a healthy appe iie
and causes reireshiug sleep. It ives the
mother strength for her trial am. makes
the baby's advent practically painless.
Healthy'mothers hare lieultl'y children,
and it is the g-meral testimony of those
who have used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription as preparative for mother
hood, that the children were healthier
and happier than those born afur
months of mental misery and physical
njiuish on the part of the prospective
sJ3and ailing women are inviterl to
consuft Dr. Pierce by letter absolutely
without fee or charge. As chief consult
ing physician to the Invalids' Hotel am!
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., Dr.
R. V. Pierce, assisted by his staff of
nearlv a score of physicians, has in the
past thirty years and over treated and
cured more than half a million sick and
suffering women. The testimonials of
these cured women are on record. A
la-ge number of them were cured when
doctors had pronounced a cure impo si
ble and after enduring years of useless
suffering. .

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED WHICH OFFERS GREATER INDUCE
MENTS TO TEACHERS
, At a meeting of the School. Board of
the public schools of La Grand last Thurs
day evening, several steps were taken to
insure a more profficient system.Several
teachers were added to the teaching
force as follows; for teachers in the high
school: L. A. McBride; Miss Luella
Carry and Pauline Walton. For the grades
Jeanette Clark; Ellen S. Scott aud Mary
Harris.
A GOOD MOVE
Another step in the right direction, was
when the board adopted a resolution ad
vancing the scale of wages paid the
teachers. This movement sir uld draw a
high class of teachers, the first necess
ity of a good school.
The resolution was introduced by F. S.
Ivanhoe, which originally read that appli
cants a teachers in La Grande schools
must have had five years experience. An
ammendment to this clause was adopted,
which made it read three years. The
resolution was adopted as follows:
RESOLUTION
Be it resolved, that the present school
wages of the high school and the graded
teachers in the public scnools of La
Crande Oregon, shall be increased as fol
lows: One high school teacher, from $65 to
THE BOOK THAT DID IT
Pendleton book stores report increased
sales of "The Jurgle," by Upton Sinclair,
the book which caused the packing house
investigation.
"The Jungle" deals with the packing
house industry and ccntains bold state'
ments which actuated the president to
start the packing house delving. Results
have justified everything said in novel.
But the investigation has convinced the
president that Sinclair did not tell it all in
"The Jungle." The public may thank
Sinclair for the shaking up. Pendleton

5 UNION COUNTY
We do not believe that there is another county in the Inland Empire that can
show fourteen different industries whose total annual revenue produces an average of
$193,ooo.oo cash.
The annual report of the State labor Commissioner, places Union Count third
in the slate, in the cmploment of labor
It requires 194 solid trains of fourtv cars each to carr the produce of our
c ount to the market, more than a trai r ever other da throughout the ear.
"An admirable climate." The past winter only for a few hours did the mercury
reach zero. No excessive heat in the summer and our cool refreshing nights cannot
be appreciated by the residents of the east until they are permitted to enjoy them
Our soil is rich and productive. Were we to mention yields they would not "be
believed. The only way to become acquainted with this "Garden of Eden" is to
personl visit this land of diversity, as when you see the crops growing and harvested
they speak for themselves.
Our forrests will require many many decades of the present activity before they
begin to yield and we now have thirty or more saw mills which give employment the
year round in the mills and logging camps J
The only sugar beet factory in the state is located at La Grande, the County Seat of Union Countv
