"We take this oncwrtunity to magnify her renown oecauBe she has published some instructive remarks upon the cost or Irving to the ladies' Borne Journal. In her opinion "we owe otir present aifficulties in making both ends meet not nearly so much to the tariff or trusts as io our own folly and wastefulness. Out of every dol lar of the family budget, she says, from 10 to 40 cents, upon the aver age goes to the garbage heap. It 1b lost because the average wife is too dignified to look after trifling Items of expense. Te have a National feel ing that It is belittling to count the cost. Spending is in Itself a glorious act ,even when we cannot afford it. The jioor give themselves a (comfort able feeling .of heing as good as the rich by wasting the little means they have. ItesideB our wasteful habits, which have been enlarged upon before in these columns, Mrs. JUchardB points out Two o.other cauBes or the high cost of lhlng In these duj-s. The first is the "combine of social opin ion" whlc h drives multitudes of wo- mun to buy what they do not want 'because their neighbors have hough t , it Sb,e declares that American wo men are not educated .nearly so well us their mothers were to, know the true Talues of articles and therefore they are swindled not only In prices, hut also, and much worse, in the senBelims damend which Is insptred In them for 'useless and silly things.

The ilalr. and Blmple arti cle falls to plense, even if hitrin Rlcally It Ik 'bcrter thun the ornate and complicated one. Ce ha-ve stray ed far from the solid Tealltles and every step In the journey has coat money. Since thca- -unpleasant con ditions arise ffji:u Ignorr.noe. the plain remedy for them Is letter ilu rntimi. The cost of living will d crcasc lit proportion as our house wives l"iini vs understand common thing anil perform common duties. ti;f wrrsTni owm muds 1:11.1. who ivotes lor that measure is doing so when a large element of his con stituency disapproves of it It took hut a ieiw minutes for each and every one of the farmers to go to the heart of this bin that provides state aid for road building. They can readily see the joker in it, and they do not Biropose to have the state treasury further burdened by an x Itensfrve commission and the high way commissioner. TTe all want good roads, but we want them JuBt the way Judge Hen ry and the -county court of Union county is getting them for this county. It is not a rapid process but it is a procesB that will not haukrupt either the state or the coun-, and it does not carry with it ahurch of high salaries, Idd-gloved inspwdors and -commissions. TOTDiG FAITH.!. A prominent Portland newspaper sayB, "if the railroads will tote fair 'with Oregon, Oregon will tote v fair with the railroads." There is a sermon to thiB remark. , It followed the address of IT. W. Cot ton, a raHroad attorney, who gave forth a calamity howl at the lawB f the state. All people who think a lit tle hit fcnow Mr". Cotton had ground for complaint against some of the luws Just paBBed, and those laws must be corrected as soon ub pos sible. Hut there is another side' to J the railroud uuestlon In Oregou It Is ' the "toting fair" side. This Btate jieeds railroadB worse than she needs anything elBe, hut the (turnings of what roads she has would indicate that there is jileuty of business for mileage. To be frank, the earnings of Oregon railroads are apparently unfair to the producer ol tonnage, unfair to the people who granted the right of eminent domain over the state, and decldely uufair to the laboT employed In operating the roads. Yes, let the railroudB "tote fair" with Oregon and we believe she will return the compliment. Ton are hereby required to appear and answer the complaint filed against yon in the above entitled suit within six weeks from the date of the first publication of this summons, and if yon fall to so appear and an swer, for want thereof the iplaintiH will apply to the Court for the reliei prayed for in her complaint to-wit, for the dissolution of the bonds ot matrimony existing between the plaintiff and defendant, for the care and custody of the minor children of the plaintiff and defendant, Eunice I'owns and Harold Dcurns, and for her costs and disbursements, and for such other and funher relief as to the Court may seem proper. This summons is published by or der of the Hon. J. W. Knowles, Judge of the Circuit Court of the State o Oregon for Union County, which or der 1b dated the 14th day of Dec, 1S10, and requires this said summons to be published in the La Grande "Weekly Observer, once each week for Bix successive weeks. The date of the first publication of this summons is the 16th day of Dec, 2910. . ErGENTE ASH WILL, r, Attorney tor hiainuff.
