More Are Decorating. . ,'
. Aside from attending to their busi
ness matters, a large number of the
business men of the city have ordered
additional decoration of the Individu
al houses. This feature is very com
mendable and If the same' pace Is
maintained that -has been set today,
tomorrow morning will break on a
city vastly different than that which
usually meets the gate of the visitor.
This should be carried still farther by
residences giving some attention to
decoration of lawns.
La Grande Is going to have- hun
dreds and hundreds here tomorrow.
The slogan, "get liberal," has gained
strength this week, and it Is now safe
to say that practically every lawn la
the city is open' to visitors.
- -The committees have done -them--selves
proud. For weeks many have
devoted ' their entire; time, forgetting,
their o businesses almost entirely,
to aid In the preparation of this glo

OUGHT TO BE THE HAPPIAESS AMD GLORY
ol every citizen to so live and act that his fel
low citizens will esteem him for his goodness,

his kindness and his usefulness. The prlnciflss of
iood citizenship should constitute the code of rules
for every kind of business whether public or private.
This applies particularly to the dru business, be
cause, owlnt to the limited knowledge of the qualities
of drugs by the leneral public, it follows that the re
liability of the druuist Is the chief guarantee of
good service. ' '
