HI.
Loyalty to home,, loyalty to your
jhomt city means, everything to your
Individual business future.'- At pres
ent La Grande has a number of factor
iea, ,and rf grettable 'ae' tne 'statement I
seems,, they seek outalde market for
Wny of their wares when home peo
ple consume a similar product manu
factured elsewhere, v , V
This city has the only a'ugartcto
In Oregon. The sugar manufactured
here Is as good as any on earth,, yet
for some reason there. Is a prejudice
against It to the extent that the bulk
of the factory's output Is marketed In
other Hies. t V
There Is no good excuse for such
disloyalty.- ,
It la not the way to Increase pay
rolls, not by any means. ; .
La' Grande also nas cigar factories
that turn out what Is considered as
good cigars as 'can be bought. There
Is more loyalty shown In this Hue, but
even" at that" there fyT room for lia-
provemeot.; j . , ,
Other thlnjs could be j enumerated
I that fail to g?.t the local support they
C!ro ontltltd fn whilo niir tinmo rennta
consuir. a similar product produced
elsewhere. Yet we, as a people, call
for mor? payrolls; we want more la
bor employed here.
What would It mean if every man.
woman and child in La Grande and
Union county would take an oath of
allegiance1 to the home factories?.- It
would mean a great deal Try it for a
month. Wh.tn you need sugar call for
La Grande sugar, when you need flour
call for La Grande flour, when you
want to moke call for a La Grande
made cigar, when you want a glass of
beer if you drink beer-K!all for that
brewed at home, and so on down the
line. . ;,i..: ,; r 5 '

War on' "gun toting." has begun In
Chicago as a' result 6f the discovery
that most of the weapons .confiscated
by he law mysteriously get back1 Into
circulation. Out of 2500 confiscated
In one year only 379 reached the cus
todian for destruction. "The "guns"
appear In court as evidence, are; giv
en to a police officer and presto
disappear. Moreover the sale of re
volvers proved on Inquiry to be unre
stricted by law boys brought them
j at will In most places. Chief Justice
leaen, of the municipal court, learnt
ingr the facts, started 'something.',
'"There is no gun factory in America.
I that is.manufocturlng or advertising
its products as a means of killing
'grasshoppers or elephants," he said,
"Revolvers and pistols are made to
1 kill human beings. A small percen
tage ts used for legitimate purposes
for the army and navy and the police.
Everybody Is buying pistols and revol
vers. .There is ' a fascination about
owning and carrying a revolver. We
have become a country of gun toters.
If federal, law could so restrict every
gun plant In America, checking every
firearm made and listing purchasers,
the end of toting would come. There
could bo interstate laws against ship
ping firearms 'except for military or
police use. With every state cooper
ating I am sure that it would be no
time beforo we would be rid of this
curse.
The steam rollers will soon ba
through their work In La Grande and
La Grande will then have all the pav
ing she will need for some time. Foun
dation improvements have been laid
la the Eastern Oregon city which Is
destined to bo the large town, and all
that remains Is for people lure to cul
tivate a .disposition to stand by homo
Institutions.
Well, the automobilists met, fed and
discussed things at Hot take laHt eve
ning. . Now let the game of life pro
ceeds and the good roads problem be
gin its sowing.
