LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER PAGE SEVEN1 4- CRACK BAND TO EDIFY HEPPNER FAIR PATRONS WITH HIGH GRADE MUSIC. 308 X YES IS A VOTE FOR YOUR CHILDREN SQUARE DEAL FOR EASTERN OREGON If you are in favor of a square deal for the country East of the Cascades you will vote for and work for THE PROPOSED EASTERN OREGON 8TATE NORMAL SCHOOL AT PENDLETON, OREGON. Oregon has bvt one Normal School. This school la looated at Monmouth and Is not able to supply more than TEN PER CENT of the teachers re quired in the public schools of Oregon. Of the more than six thousand teachers in our public schools, BUT 13 PER CENT are graduates of Nor mal Schools. It is a matter of simple justice to the country East of the Cascades to establish a Normal School East of the mountains to furnish thoroughly trained' teachers for the schools of Eastern Oregon. TRAINED INSTRUCTORS WANTED Every resident of Eastern Oregon has a vital in terest In the passage of this measure for" Eastern Oregon pays HIGH SALARIES to her teachers and is mtltled to the services of TRAINED INSTRUCTORS., ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $1,000 The annual cost of maintenance of the proposed State Normal School amounts to BUT ONE 25TH OF A MILL OR 4 CENT8 ON A THOUSAND DOL LARS ef taxable property. Isn't it worth this to yon to aave your children trained to become USE FUL AND PRODUCTIVE citizens? STRONG ENDORSEMENT ;.. , ,' J. A. Churchill, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction, voices the sentiment of the educators of the state when he says: "Oregon's greatest need for its rural schools is the teacher who has had full preparation to do her work. Such preparation can best come through Normal School training. . ' "I trust that the voters of the state will assist in raising the standard of our schools by establishing a State Normal School at' Pendleton. The location is central, the interest of the people of Pendleton in education most excellent, and the large number of pupils in the public schools will give ample oppor tunity to all students to get the amount of teaching practloe required in a standard normal school." The educators of the State InBlst that Standard Normal Schools be located in towns of 5000 popula tion or more and having ENOUGH GRADE PUPILS FOR TEACHER PRACTICE. ' , BE LOYAL AND VOTE RIGHT Show your loyalty to the best interests of Eastern Oregon and of the whole state by working for this measure and by voting YES FOR NO. 308. By vot ing YES for No. 308 you will help to GIVE TO THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OREGON THE SAME ADVANTAGES ENJOYED BY THE SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OUR NEIGHBORING STATES.

The Elk's Band, in Demand in Eastern Oregon. " Off on its first long engagement for the fall, the next of which will be the Pendleton roundup, the Elks' iband started this morning on No. 17, for Heppner to play at the Heppner fair for the week-end. It will also supply an orchestra for that occasion. The contract calls for 20 men and conse quently several didn't go, but next week at the Pendleton Round-Up there will be 28 in the organization and La Grande will have a band to be especially proud of. Both at Heppner and at Pendleton desirable publicity will reflect upon both the Elks' lodge and the city of La Grande. The dele gation which left this morning is un der, the musical direction of Leader Haines and business affairs are being looked after by Frank Bay, official care killer. They will reach their destination late tonight, and remain until Sunday morning, returning to this city Sunday night. Most rig orous rehearsal have been the order for several days and La Grande peo ple can rest assured that this city's" musical reputation is being well taken care of at Heppner. Those who com prise the band as it left for this week's engagement were: j ' Drums Browning and Ford; cor nets Haines, McManua, Loney and Tatmanj claronet Snapp, Graves; baritone-Crawford; trombones Stringham, Sherwood, Perrine; alto ' Bay, Lewis; tuba Hommie. CEMENT LIS VARIOUS GROUPS ' COMBINE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. Executive Committee Named to Di rect Opposition, to Brewers' Bill He's Nearly Dead, But pletely Not Com- ACKERMAN IS FOR PENDLETJjNJEASURE HEAD OF MONMOUTH NORMAL 8AYS ONE SCHOOL CANNOT SUPPLY DEMAND FOR TEACHERS. Monmouth, Ore. "A careful analy. als of the situation will convince any one that Oregon needs a Normal School in Eastern Oregon and also one in Southern Oregon," said J. H. Ackerman, President of the State Nor mal School at Monmouth. "It is a well-established fact that a centrally located Normal School cannot supply the needs of the entire state. The need of a Normal School in Eastern Oregon is readily proved by the most cursory investigation of the list of our students and the list of our graduate teachers. The estimated population of our state in 1914 was 795.587. Take for example the eight Western Oregon counties, Clatsop, Clackamas, Benton, Lane, Linn, Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties. Their population for 1914 was 214,608, or less than 27 per cent of the total population of the state, yet B0 per cent of the graduates from, our Normal School for the past five years are teaching school in some one of these eight Western Oregon coun ties. There are 35 counties in the state, yet eight of these counties are getting half of the benefit of the teachers for which all of the counties pay the taxes. Here is the list During the past five years we have supplied the fol lowing graduates as teachers to these counties: Clatsop, 18; ClackamaB, 20; Ben ton, 25; Lane, 36; Linn, 28; Marion, 28; Polk, 26; and Yamhill, 20. In other words, 203 of our 407 teachers who have secured places in the publio schools in Oregon during the past five years, have gone to these eight Wil lamette Valley counties. Now take eight typical Eastern Ore gon counties and see if they have se cured their proper share of teachers with Normal training. During the past five years we have supplied Normal graduates as follows to these Eastern Oregon counties: Baker, 8; Grant, 1; Harney, 4; Mal heur, 2; Morrow, 4; Umatilla, 10; Wallowa, 7; and Wheeler, 2. The eight Willamette Valley coun ties had 203 Normal teachers as against 39 Normal teachers for the eight Eastern Oregon counties. East ern Oregon received less than 10 per cent as against Western Oregon's fifty per cent. lar and vour liver healthy and you will not only feel younger but look younger.

Day Drink a glass of real hot water before breakfast to wash out poisons. Are Yon Looking Old? Old age comes quick enough with out inviting it. Some look old at 40.

What a glorious condition to attain, and yet how very easy it is if one will only adopt the morning malde bath. Folks who are accustomed to feel dull and heavy when they arise, split ting headache, stuffy from a cold, foul tongue, nnBty breath, acid stomach, can, instead, feel as fresh as a daisy bv ooenlnc the sluices of the system each morning and flushing out the whole of the Internal poisonous stag nant matter. Everyone, whether ailing, sick or wen. should, each morning, before breakfast, drink a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the previous days indigestible waste, nnnr bile and Doisonous toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal Oetore putting more food into the stomach.

The millions of people who are bothered with constipation, bilious suells. stomach trouble, rheumatism; others who have sallow skins, blood disorders and sickly complexions are urged to get a quarter pound of lime stone phosphate from the drug Btore which will cost very little, but is sufficient to make anyone a pro nounced crank on the subject of internal sanitation. Fifty delegates attended the "dry" convention yesterday afternoon in the Y. M. C. A. and perfected an inde pendent local organization to conduct the campaign in Union county against the Brewer's bill and in favor of the amendment prohibiting the importa tion of alcoholic liquoTs into the state. The aims of tho organization as outlined at the convention will be to inform the voters of the county of the nature and effects of these bills, to endeavor to get all "dry" voters registered and to see that they vote on election day. The slogan' of the meeting was "Vote 315 X No; 816 X. Yes." - The following executive committee men were appointed to inaugurate plans of proceedure and direct the campaign: Ueorge Huntington 'Sur rey, chairman; Kev. u. i. uiarK, vice chairman; Rev. H. L. Ford, secretary; L. L. McKennon of Union, treasurer; and Para Thornton, H. H. Cleaver, of Alicel, and J. H. Henderson of Elgin, executive committee members. The object in thus organizing an in dependent county campaign commit tee is to avoid duplication of plans and it is the intention that this Union county committee shall work with all state and national organizations working in the interests of prohibi tion. The delegates present repre sented the W. C. T. U the Anti Sa loon league, the Prohibition party and members of the State, union ury committee which is headed by Ex- Governor Oswald West. In the evening Phillip Deschner spoke at the Presbyterian church ex plaining the issues of the campaign to a large audience. Axel Osterholm and Mrs. George Huntington Currey assisted the musical program witn very pleasing solos. How to Give Good Advice. Someone wrote to the information department of a well-known motion picture magazine and asked if it were true that William! Farnum had been killed in the west. The letter was sent to the William Fox headquarters, from which place it was forwarded to Mr. Farnum. He answered: "Mark Twain once said that the report of his death was grossly exag erated. I will not go so far as that. In my work in The Man from Bitter Roots,' which I have just completed I came near death more than once. So while I cannot say that I am dead, I do not feel it would be proper to say that a report to that effect would be greatly exaggerated. Constipation the Father of Many Ills. Of the numerous ills that affect hu manity a large share start with con stipation. Keep your bowels regular and they may be avoided. When a laxative is needed take Chamberlain's Tablets. They not only move the bowels but improve the appetite and strengthen the digestion. Obtainable everywhere. Adv bees; full equipment including' S3 top boxes, honey extractor, etc. Call H. P.

The Garage of Satisfactory Service Sage Tea ' and Sulphur Turn Gray, Faded Hair Dark and Glossy. Almost everyone knows that Sago Tea and Sulphur, properly compounded, brines back the natural color and lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gTay. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home, which is muBsy and troublesome. Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for "Wyeth's Sago and Sulphur Compound." You will get a large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients for abomt 60 ccnt9. Everybody uses this prepara tion now, because no one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does it so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and drw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hsir disappears, and after another appli cation or two, your hair becomes beauti fully dark, thick and glossy and you look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound is a delightful toilet requisite. It is not intended for the cure, mitigation or prevention of disease.
