' RED PEPS PHILOSOPHY "When your short comings are advertised, the other fellow buys the space" One Word, One Cent, One Time. ANNOUNCEMENT I Introducing Mr. C. Frizzell, Expert Electrical Worker- s Realizing for some time that La Grande and Vicinity should have a first-class electrical worker I have been endeavoring for several months 'to locate such a man. All garages in Country Towns have men who work on electrical equipment, but to get a graduate from the inside snops of the Splitdorf Electric Company is no small undertaking as I have just learned. But I succeeded in getting Mr. Frizzell, and have letters from the Splitdorf Electric Company and other successful concerns attesting to his ability as an electrical worker so that I can now say to my trade that I can guarantee proper workmanship on the electrical end of the auto mobiles. Very few Garages in the country can make such a claim, but I stand behind and guarantee all of Mr. FrizzeJl's work. He is expert on Mag netos, Generators, Starters, Storage Batteries. Come to us with your electrical work. IGHTON'S GARAG R. W. M M M M M M M MnMfMII From date we allow 5 per cent to 10 per cent on all Onsh Sales.

It costs more to live in I-ondon today than it costs to live in Now York It costs more to live" in the smaller cities and towns of England's provinces thun it costs to live in the cities-and towns of , the .United States. , Cleveland, Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Milwaukee, Dallas, San Francisco, Portland are choaper places to live than Sheffield, Liverpool, Manchester, Hull and English cities like that. Nevertheless, Britishers re turning today from the United States insist their country still is the cheap er for he masses. Their mistake lies in ;he fact that the English do with out many things Americans consider absolute necessities. Most such things are so high in England today that only plutocrats can have them. Practically tho only exception in Eng land's favor is clothing; and even clothing is higher. A good sack suit, EnglisS fit, which used to cost $'20, now sells for $22.50. The price is still rising. So are other prices. It is not a gradual rise, Hnrdlv a day passes that an advance of 5 or 10 per cent is not announced m some staple. Beef is 40 cents, mutton 28, pork' 28; hardly any lpmb is to bo had; the killing of calves is prohib ited: hrend u cents a 2-pound loat; , good buttor 42 cents; tea 52 fonts; soft coal $7.80 a ton; anthracite coal $11.28. Rentals are about the . sumo as in tno united states but in-1 dude, nothing. Cooking and lighting J gas in a 5-room flat cannot, he kept, oeiow quu or $w mummy, leionnone calls are 6 cents each. A 5-mile street car ride costs 7 cents. Cigars which would be dear in the ; United States at' a nickel a meco, 'retail in Enirland at 14 cents. Tho distilleries being' used by 'the government for munition making, it is predicted that whiskey which sold at 78 to. 9C cents h bottle will soon retail at $2.40. The income tax has risen until rt is a fear- ful hurdan. It begins- with incomes of 130 pounds ($024) yearly. The as sessment increases more than pro portionately as the income grows larger. A man earning $2,500 an nually, pays ah cents on every .f4.HU. If his income is from invested capital tho rate is much higher. The net re sult is that an English family, moving to America and continuing to live ac cording to the English standard, would hav more money than at home, while an American family moving to England and continuing to lrve ac cording to tr'6 Americnn standard, would have materially less.
