' f holidays as they were few people

Yea, all the celebrating has past
into history and now it is up to every
individual to get in and work. By
work we mean, it is everyone's duty
to try and increase the business ol
the city and community, to use all
fair-means: to attract people to' La
Grande and the Grande Ronde Valley,
to vigilantly watch for opportunities
to push the community forward, and.
in; general way to exercise "team
work" in order that La. Grande may
be a better place to live in; that busl-

there may be in evidence toe reeling
of brotherly love and neighborly af

SPECULATION AS TO THE
TUBE
FU-
There is much speculation in re
gard to what will happen to our in
dustries, with the close of the war.
Will peace bring a severe reaction ?
Discussions show that opinions differ
'greatly on the subject. j tj-
Most agree that Europe' will suffer
from acute depression when tjje
enormous spending of money by govf.
ernments ceases.
But whether America will be injur 'J
iously affected, or will, without inter-,
rupuon, continue to march along the
path of prosperity, are points in ro-1
gard to which the best authorities
differ.
The more optimistic reason that."
when the war ends, Europe will im-'
mediately begin the colossal work of
industrial and commercial reconstruc
tion. This will call for large quanti
ties of materials in this country, not
ably articles needed for building,
agricultural implements, etc., as it
will take quite a while to beat the
foreign swords into plowshares, and
the .fpears into pruning hooks.
Taxes will have to be so heavy to
meet the war-debt burdens that the
cost of production and the rate of
wages in Europe will be much higher
than they were before the war. Our
politicians do not seem to realize
that heavier taxes here will also be
an industrial drawback.
Of course, taxes here will Le
smaller than in Europe, and moreover
the United States will have practically
unlimited supplies of money and cred
it, and ought to be more than able to
hold its own with tax burdened Eu
rope. Fortunately this country is in the
most satisfactory position of any
leading nation on earth, and with our
presents the dispassionate view of a
text book and it is a Scholarly piece
of work.' ; It ttustj became a' standard
reference book for those ydio' : are
studying the results of popular gov
ernment in Oregon; Jimmy Bamett
is another of the long line of success
ful men, who as boys had their child-
Ttood inspiration from, this town. If
we could have known then how fani
ous and useful they would be, how we

"MOTHER, A WORD THAT MEANS
' THE WORLD TO ME."
(Copyright, 1915, by Leo Feist, Inc.,

Igood & Co., Limited.)
I've been around the world, you bet,
But never went to school,
Hard knocks are' all I seem to get, -
' Perhaps I've been a fool;
But still, some educated folks, sup
posed to be so swell, -"
Would fall, if they were called upon
;.'.', a simple word to spell.
Now, if you'd like to put me to a test,
There's one dear name that I can
spell best:
CHORUS.
"M" is for the million things she gave
me;
"0" means only .that she's growing
okl;
'"IT' is for the tears were shed to save
me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light
shining,'
"R" means right, and right shell al
, , ways be;
Put them all together, they spell
"MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.
When I was but a baby, long before
I learned to walk,
While lying in my cradle, I would try
that had been planned in the public
mind to take place 'Friday night
and Sunday morning, there was little
drinking and very little intoxication.
ay proof it is snown tnat most oi we
saloons quit before midnight. In
stead of streets being crowded with a
jostling, blear-eyed mob it was crowd
ed with perfectly sober people out to
see the fun the "drunks" would make
The "drunks" did not show up and
Ut a reasonable hour everyone went
nome in a way disappointed, but n
most cases happily disappointed.

long, lone: ritie. New Year's cafe nar-

posted everywhere, even during the
day: No drinks served after midnight.
How about the boy who used to eat
onions to keep his mother from
smelling smoke on his breath is he
still with us?

OREGON MAN FROM EMPORIA.
Thirty years ago in Emporia
black-eyed, keen-faced boy roamed !
the fields and woods around Emporia
and played up and down the alleys
and over the vacant lots, says William
Allen White's Emporia Gazette.
About fifteen years ago he went to
Leland Standford University as a
teacher. Now he is Dr. James D.
Barnett, professor of political science
in the University of Oregon, and his
book, "The Operation of the Initiative
and Referendum, and Recall in Ore
gon," is a sincere attempt to tell the
story of those "fads and ismsj" not
from the standpoint of the partisan,
out from the standpoint of the scien
tific observer of facts, with no thesis
to prove. .,,
' The book "is' published by the Mae-
rolllan conar-ans.u 1$ fa, carefully
worked out study of the election re-
"Mother" was the word.
Although I'll never lay a claim to
fame,
I'm satisfied that I can spell this
name:
CHORUS.
"M" is for the mercy she possesses,
"O" means that I owe her all I
own,
"T" is for her tender, sweet caresses,
"H" is for her hands that made a
home;
"E" means everything she's done to
help me,
, "R" means real and regular, yoo
tea, ' ;,
Put them all together, they : spell
: "MOTHER,",' ' "' " ;' .';
' A word ithat means the world to me.
