If you keep your mouth shut the first time you buy an automobile the dealer may not discover that you don't know the difference between the spark plug and the chassis. An inventor announces that he has produced a substitute for gasoline that will reduce the cost of running motor cars 500 per cent.

Considering the fact that the ceiv tenarians we have been reading about adhere to the old fashioned methods of living, rather , than the modern scientific fads, one inclines to faith in the notion that ignorance is bliss.

La Grande National Bank LA GRANDE, OREGON Capitol $200,000.00 Surplus $50,000.00 ;;' Recourses $1,000,000.00 author of 'Margunne No Longer an Outcast", in a measure . has taken tlaps to rapp what is fast proving; to be one of our principal industries of this valley and bringing hundreds of dollars monthly into our midst. The principal point the author seems tl ' bring out is the assumed fact that Olemargarine is treated unjustly in , that an unharmful coloring is put m j butter, yet restrictions on its use in ' olemargarine. The Dairyman of this Country have no objection to olemar garine when sold as olemargarine but tne lact 18 iraua ana ueceuuun imvu followed in the wake of olemargarine wherever it has been sold, hence every country has .restrictive laws deal; , ing with this counterfeit product. In regard to the color being used . in butter, the butter maker should ; be compelled to put coloring in his ; butter for the same reason olemar garine should be restricted from its use. The natural color of butter made from a cow kept under normal condi tions is a yellowish and which normal condition means: fed upon the green feeds of the meadow but when stabled ' and fed substitutes, a lighter color ; follows due entirely to the feeding; Therefore to insure the public of a genuine r.rtielo, wmwl him to add : coloring during the fall and winter ! months. For the same safe guard; against the use of butter as oleomar garine compel the factories to elimin-, ale the coloring. ! No first grade oleomargarine will ! measure up to the standard or a first grade butter neither will a third grade oleomargarine measure up to the standard of any butter that is sold on the market today, and now Mr. Author I don't think for one minute that oleo margarine is being as a whole treated for it is for your good as well as the community as a whole that is being benefited by our legislature. And now let us not rapp the Mort gage Lifter (The old Cow) but stand back of her and she will ever prove your true friend. WILFRED C. ROBB, Manager of Valley Creamery.

TCberhard, present district attorney, is another Republi can who though he hasn't voiced his platform, may take a chance in the primaries. ' Hence the legislative con tests have possibilities of hair-raising races. The joint reprcsentativeship in this and Wallowa county is open this year but there is a dire iack of gossip. Some of H. B. Davihizer's friends in and about Joseph where he is a prom inent rancher and stockman, want him to run. No Union county man aspires to that place, it being conceded to rallowa county. As noted, there is woeful lack of interest for that of fice to date. Davidhizer ran Al Jones a thundering close race two years ago in his home county for the same office.

F. J. Holmes seeks the district congres sional district delegateship to the St. Louis convention in June, ' and At torney T. H. Crawford wants to go as a delegate from the state at large. The one drawback attached to these offices which will tend to hold back competitors is that it is an expensive luxury between ?200 and $300 at the best as expenses must be borne by the delegates. Notwithstanding 'this handicap, enough others seek the job to make the contest interesting. Dr. Morrow of Portland, and pos sibly Jack White, son of Sam White, also of Portland will probably be anions those who will run with Judge Crawford for delegate at large. A new face eiifers the district race against Holmes et al, with the likeli hood of ex-Sheriff Blakely of The Dalles coming out for that honor, Aside from with one due to be beaten. Two go. Throughout the state C. W. Fulton, Chas. II. Carey, both of Portland, and Mr. Folkes of Salem are men who seek the Republican junket to the Chi cago colesium.
