"' " 1"ggg;a '- , :The'Mew:..:T I Am 4h - It Is understood that a movement will soon '." be put under way to increase ; the , capacity of the Grande Bond hospital. This certainly. Is the thing to do. La, Grande' is growing rapidly, and domands for. a larger institution are every day 1 apparent. The pres ent hospital hat" done excellent work, and It la to the credit of those who first troad upon untried ground In their efforts to give this community a first class place for the care of the sick. But in every growing commun ity there comes a time when addi tional room Is needed and more ex tensive quarters are demanded. That time has arrived with the local hos pital. . ' A word abou hospitals In smaller cities might be worth while. The av erage hospital Is not a money maker. But It Is a necessity. With that In Tlew everyone here should under stand that dividends from a hospital are a rarity. Every improvement made on the present property will add to Its efficiency and will not add to the wealth of any individual. -The smaller hospital Is a great deal like the smaller dally news papersexpense eat their earnings until when the balance sheet Is truck, there is little In the profit colunrn. However, this fact does not take away the posttive necessity for a first class Institution here, such as we have, only larger. There is no TAiunn for suraery cases leaving this nmmnnl for Portland and other i nm future time It would be up to Ibis nation to offer protection to life and property.

Cove people have bad a revival meeting and are now going forth to MKtltiue telling the sweet story of in their locality and the pos sibilities and opportunities that there await those who are seeaing noma. In the west. At n rncent meeting a strong cam- .rn wan outlined for the work anu wa.rter the name of Cove will be In scribed into everything that presents a place for Inscription. They believe in txntnr constantly at It, and In . ... hor.lntBl correct, no in IB luej -- .rirtiainE la so effective as tne aa ii that tolls the truth and TCI UD'i'D w keeps on poundlnig away. n Mawh 4th Cove people will have a meeting for further deliberation and we understand, an Invitation nas Been extended to La Grande to Join them tn. tM meeting and make It one of ... . i. f-,oMnni1 rousing love - feasts. La Grande should be well represented. . . ' ' .22 CALIBER (SHORT). The "dodge-It" governor is making bimself the butt for all the Jesters of the . Northwest. He Is showing what Is really in him; he is at last indicating to the people of Oregon bis true -site which is .28 calibre (short) wtth accent cm the "short." Governor WeBt 1s not a governor, never has been, and could not be with a quarter century training.

For a time H was difficult ;to make some understand that such was true, but the truth is fast coming So the fore ground as truth always does and now the Grande Ronde hospital is recognized all over Eastern Oregon aa a first class place not only for the care of sick, but for surgery cas es as well. IT WAS WI'SD TO COME. The half hearted, weak kneed man ner In which the United 8tnts hns been- handling the Mexico situation seems almost to an end. It takes a change of administration for this country to do what she - should bave done long ago, but re gardless of , who fills the -president's chair sentiment ts growing wtth such rapidity that it is hardly likely the United mates can longer refrain from at least throwing a protectorate over the country bord erlng us -on- the south. ' Anyone who has traveled over Mex ico; who has seen the people who re side there and witnessed their pecu liar wavs. could not think hut what at ture. His newspaper supporwr. claim he Is "getting even" with the legislature by hiding his little bead behind the hay stack, so no bills caw be delivered to him from the leg's lature. What rot, what silly twaddle, what nonsense. If West Is laneei than the .22 cal ibre (short) why does he not take a stand against the legislate and fight his battle In open ground and use honorable warfare? The legisla ture Is not perfect, by any means, and West would have honest following If he stood manfully before tne pro file of his state and advocated the right side of questions. But. no. he 1b the little dodtrer, who seeks notor iety by Wdliiaj. Surely. Oregon has a poor excuse for a governor. Over UOO federal Jobs are beine n hv the president.

ADTERTTSIJiG TALKS. (To the Observer's Headers.) I have before me the advertisements of two different furntture stores. They are both offering parlor chairs . --i.,. if t In ket 'for such chairs, in considering I them 1 naturally bave In mind the ap nearance of my home and what kind of chair will look best with my present home furnishings. One advertisement says that their chairs are "niaile of quartersawed oak. upholstered In real leather and are very comfortable".The illustration shows several styles with the prices n big letters underneath each cut. The other advert sement hows a scene In a parlor with the 'chairs placed around In an attractive manner. This picture showed the goods adverfsed in Ihler na'urnl sur roundiwrs they appeal to me and make It easy for me to Imagine how they would look In my house. The reading matter or copy told me bow the chairs were made the kind of wood .upholstery, style, their com fort, earnest of mevtng. etc., Jst the points 1 want to know before I pur chase. Furniture Is no different to advertise than any other article. A chair, bed, dresser, etc., can be exploit ed in terms that are interesting to the customer Instead of In dry, stereotyp ed words Ui at tell nothing. If the furniture retailer would ad vertise his goods as if they were in his own home and he were using them and know their wants, be would be surprised how interesting and profit able his advertising would be. .Next talk on Laundry advertising.
