i LA ORANDb EVENING OBSERVER THURSDAY, AUGUST 23, 1910. PAGE SIX f. 5 SPffllTSMAN and TELEPHONE EVERY TIME a man wants to get away from all. connection with the busy world, the telephone is an important helper. The local service is useful in arranging his affairs at home, and the Long Distance service of the Bell System helps him to decide where to go and what to take. " By means of his Bell telephone he can find out whether the fish are biting or the birds are flying, and whether guides or horses can be secured. After he has been out a while if he wants' to get word from the city, the nearest Bell telephone is a friend in need. - , Pacific Teleohone and Telegraph Co. v Every Bell Telephone is the Centre oithe System.

And If we might express it so Ills last fight was bis last Till water gurgles up the bill. Till debt will pay Itself. The white but battered fighting bulk Will still adorn the shelf. Some otber fighter will arise To toy with Johnson's frame. To be the best that ever was In that discounted game. And, thinking what he did to. Jeff. To do the same to him. To make the world to Jack look dark, But It will not be Jim. . r tt t af . W. A. Ia Grande Camp No, DIRECTORY OF THE FRATERNAL ORDERS LA GRANDE, ORE 7703 meets Terr Monday In the month at the I.
