OFFICE BOY
The servant girl told the milk-
nan that the milk looked very.
' watery. "Yes," replied the milk-
man, "you see we took the calf
) away this morning, which , upset
the cow, so she started crying
and some of the tears fell into -
the milking pall." Do you know
, there are a lot of things besides
i milk and railroad stocks that are
watered? Nearly every kind of
merchandise is watered. '.. What
I mean. Is there are hundred of
factories that, make nothing but
"imitations" or "Just as goods."
Take Puritan underwear. There
are probably twenty mills turn
ing out imitations that sell from
ten to fifty per cent less, than .
the genuine The yarn used Is
different. ; .The garment Is 1 made
shorter and more narrow . . and
from one to three pounds of yarn
is saved on a dozen garments.
The merchant, who sells the
"Just as . good," makes a much
larger profit even at the lower
price quoted than stores that re- -fuse
to sell seconds or iimtatione.
There are plenty of clothing tnan
facturers. who will take the same v
piece of cloth that the high-class
makers use and make it up and
sell it from $3 to $5 less than
the other man. But it won't hold t
up and wear right, because it is
. not built on honor,., but put to
gether to "sell, to deceive'you and
moke more money for the -firms
who carry that sort of merchan
dise. We have built up pur busi
ness by selling good goods cheap.
We never carry imitations, but
we do sell the firsts much lower
than they are usually sold, ow
ing to our Immense output and
the fact that we have a "con
' science." What about your sum
' . mer togs? ' -;;V, '. '. '

; - With Just a little attention, La

city of Eastern Oregon as well as the
aster city.. Several yards of La Grande
already boast of roses such as are
grown in Portland, and . if the peo
ple would spend even a little time' on
the rose culture, the city would be
given added attractions during the
summer months, ' Those who have
experimented with the various kinds
of roses, find they grow readily and
fully as hardy, as do the .Portland
roses where proper attention Is giv
en them. La Grande already has set
a pace for aster culture among cities
of the, state" and ' Judging from the
inumber of beautiful yards right now,
the rose fever is spreading. '
