The city of North Powder is out of debt
and has $500 in the treasury.
This will be a busy week. Circuit
court is in session. County court also and
on Wednesday evening the city council
meets.
Remember, my son, ycu have to work.
Whetherjyou handle or pick or a pen, a
wheel barrow or a set of books, digging
dutches or editing a paper, ringing an
auction bell or writing funny things, you
must work. If you look around, you will
see that the men who are most able to
live the rest of their days without work
are the men who work the hardest
Don't te afraid of killing yourself with
overwork. It is beyond your power to do
that on the sunny side of thirty. They
die sometimes but it is because they quit
work at 6 p m and don't get home until
2 am. It's the interval that kills, my
son. The work gives you an appetite for
your meals; it lends solidity to your slum
bers; it gives you a perfect and grateful
appreciation of a holiday.
There are young men who do not work,
but the world is not proud of them. It does
not know their names even; it simply
speaks of them as "old So-and-so's boy,"
nobody likes them; the great busy world
doesn't know they are there. So find
out what you want to be and do, and take
off your coat and make a dust in the
world. The busier you are the less harm
you will be likely to get into, the sweeter
will be your sleep, the brighter and hap
pier your holidays, and the better satis
fied will the world be with you. Robert

Rally Day in the Sunday schools, was
a decided success and the attendance

history of La Grande.
There is considerable more buildi..g
going on in La Grande this season that
many who have not driven over the city
would expect to find.

encouraging. The yield in most instances
are quits satisfactory and there will be
more record breaking crops than usual.
The labor question is the worst difficulty
but that is not as serious as was expected
earlier in the season.
