Mrs. Ellen H. lOtJiards is the pres
ident of the American Home Econom
ics ABSocUition, says the reipnian.
"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 ,

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,
