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 '

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.

Look and Feel
Clean, Sweet and
Fresh Every. 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.
That is because they neglect the liver
and bowels. Keep your bowels regu-
Life is not merely to live, but to
live well, eat well, digest well, work
well, sleep well, look well. 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 action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach la
wonderfully invigorating. It cleans
tut all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and acidity and gives one a
snlendid apnetite for breakfast. Vhila
you are enjoying your breakfast the
water and Dhosnhate is quietly ex
tracting a large volume of water from
the blood and getting ready for a
thorough flushing of all the inside
oceans.
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

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.
