How Catarrh Is Contracted.
Mothers are sometimes so thought
less as to neglect the colds which their
children contract. The inflammation
of the mucus membrane, at first acute,
becomes chronic and the child has
chronic catarrh, a disease that is sel
dom cured and that may prove a life's
burden. Many persons who have this
I loathsome disease will remember hav
jing had frequent colds at the time it
was contracted. A little forethought,
! a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Rem
i edy judiciously used1, and all this
!' trouble might have been avoided. Ob
tainable everywhere.

NO SALOONS OR BOTTLE HOUSES
The committee advocating the pas
sage of what is commonly known as
the Beer Amendment, No. 314 on the
ballot, have pledged themselves as de
ter'ffrlned to have the law, if passed,
endorsed according to its true intent
and purpose, namely, as merely put
ting the Oregon hop growers and
brewers cn an equal footing with out
siders. The committee feels the public will
believe such eminent lawyers as
Messrs. Montague, Gearin, Pipes,
Carey, Fulton, Simon, Bernstein, Co
hen, and others, who have given their
carefully considered opinion that no
attempt to establish saloons, bottle
houses, or other unregulated sales of
beer would be successful. It would
be turning the law away from its
plain intent, and therefore impossible.
But the enthusiasm of the Prohibi
tionists continue to misrepresent the
purpose of this law and the good faith
of this committee, and having aban
doned the idea of the general saloon,
the Prohibitionists now insist that it is
the "bottle house" which is to be
feared. They say that the committee
can only speak for itself and not for
the brewers. Wishing to meet all ob
jections, however fanciful, the com
mittee finally thought it best to lay
the matter before Ine brewers, and in
response to our request we have re
ceived the following statement:
. To C. E. S. Wood and C. T. Haas,
Chairman and Secretary of the
"Equal Rights for Home Industry"
committee, and to the several mem
bers of said committee Gentlemen:
We the undersigned formerly in the
brewing business in the State of Ore
gon, in answer to your request beg to
say, for record and publication, that in
case the constitutional amendment
No. 314, providing for the manufac
ture of a light beer, not exceeding
four per cent alcoholic strength, is
passed, we will not attempt to open
saloons or bottle houses, or in any
way directly or indirectly to violate
the plain terms of the law which we
understand is intended to give us only
the rights enjoyed in Oregon by
brewers outside the state, and we will
join in enforcing the law according to
its spirit. For our own protection and
in the interest of the proposed
amendment we respectfully request
your committee to prepare a plan by
which the sale of state-brewed beer,
if permitted, may be fully and satis
factorily (regulated, and we suggest
that a registration book of those en
titled to receive beer be opened and
the taking of affidavits be handled by
some public official. We will our
selves ask cities and counties to make
proper regulations, and aid to the ex
tent of our ability in their enforce
ment. Also, it must not be forgotten
that within four weeks after this
amendment . becomes effective, if
passed, a law may be enacted for the
the full and complete regulation, and
until some other plan is adopted by
cities and counties, we will be com
pelled to follow the procedure now in
force at the express offices for the im
portation of liquors, .namely, we will
not sell or deliver to any person who
is a minor, a habitual drunkard, or
who is not properly entitled to receive
his quota of beer under the existing
law, ami we will exact an affidavit
showing all these facts, and also stat
ing that the affiant has not within the
said period imported his quota of beer
or other liquors from outside the state
or received it elsewhere. In other
words, we will co-operate in a de
tailed regulation of the sale of beer
permitted by the amendment.
We desire to add.-what should be
self-evident, that our heavy invest
ments in the state, our self interest,
make it necessary that we win the
favor and approval of the public, by
aiding an honest interpretation and
enforcement of the jaw. We now
leave it to the public to, determine
what this law means to the entire
state, not only through the preserva
tion of the hop and allied industries,
but as tending toward true temper
ance. We hope your efforts may be
successful.

The committee is convinced that
these manufacturers are acting in
good faith and will render to the com
mittee and to all public officials their
honest assistance in carrying out the
law according to its true intent, and
in seeing lnat neither di I'tt.v or in
directly, publicly nor iecre ,!y. is it
disobeyed, and the committee desirc3
to add its very strong conviction bastAl
on the practical test ana success in
Norway and Denmark that tn encour
age home production of a light beer
will be to discourage the increasing
onsumption of heavy alcoholic bev
erages which is now going on.
In the Scandinavian countries and
Finland, after an investigation includ
ing the prohibition states of this
country, a three per cent beer (in
practice allowed to be four per cent)
is free of all license, tax or regula
tion as a means of checking the con
sumption of distilled spirits.
For the Committee,

Orchestral Entertainers.

Is there n demand for this kind of
organization where large door sales are
a consideration to the committee. Pic
tures of numerous Instruments and
promises of a widely varied program
attract young and old from far and

Some of the fen lures of the Maurer
Sisters' program are cornet solos with
orchestra accompaniment, fluto solos
with piano accompaniment, violin solos
with piano accompaniment, whistling
solos, cello solos, violin and flute ducts,
humorous readings, orchestral num

Despondency.
When you feel discouraged and de

dose of Chamberlain's Tablets and you
are almost certain to feel all right
within a day or two. Despondency is
very often due to indigestion and bil

especially valuable. Obtainable

Come In And Let Me Tell You About My
New Farm Loan
A 20 Year Amortized Rural Credit Loan
No Commission No Renewals
TO UNION COUNTY FARMERS:-
For several years I have been working and
planning for easier money to loan on good old Grand
Ronde farm lands.
Finally I have arranged with one of the largest
loaning companies (a company that has $85,000,000
loaned to the farmers of the West) for a real Rural
Credit loan based on a 20-year amortized plan. 20
equal payments of but little more than current in
terest pays off your entire debt.
You pay no commissions, choose your own date
of payment and pay at your own bank. You can pay
any amount of your loan at any time- This plan
figures you a saving of nearly 3 per cent over the
usual farm loan made heretofore in this county. If
interested call and let me explain fully.

Why Vote Pendleton $125,000
for something we already possesa State Normal School plant in
Eastern Oregon? 1
' . 'i.' ' "
Why vote an annual tax of one-twenty-fifth of a mill for a
Pendleton Normal when one-fortieth of a mill would provide ample ,
maintenance for the Weston Normal?
Do you want to be out of pocket $325,000 in ten years? This
is the approximate sum that u Pendleton Normal would cost over
and above the cost of the Weston Normal, allowing for a nominal
increase in state valuations. '
Every man, woman and child in Oregon is annually taxed $30,
according to A. H. Harris, a Portland writer. Taxes for all pur
poses in 1916 reached the enormous total of $22,000,920.94. Schools
alone cost $7,000,000. Why toss tax money away by granting Pendle
ton's absurd demands? A .
Why Not Reopen the Weston Plant?
It's ready for use and consists of four buildings and ten acres
of ground. It has been recently inspected and approved by such
prominent architects as Beezer Bros, of Seattle and Osterman &
Siebert of Walla Walla. Beezer Bros, say that $2000 properly ex
pended on the principal building would bring it to an "almost perfect
condition." These substantial taxpayers, officials and men of affairs
denounce the Pendleton scheme as one of "extravagant folly:"
J. M. Banister, Mayor of Weston; Homer I. Watts,
Mayor of Athena; B. B. Richards, Recorder of Athena; H.
A. Barrett, Merchant, Athena; C. A. Barrett, State Sen
ator, Athena; H. B. Lee, ex-County Commissioner, Milton; .
J. F. Slover, Merchant, Freewater; C. D. HobbS, Mayor
of Milton; H. L. Frazier, ex-County Comm'r. Milton.
Why did not Pendleton confine her bill to a normal school propo
sition ? Why does she seek to "validate" institutions that are firmly
and lawfully established ? Is it not clear that this is a vote-catching
device? Isn't it "log-rolling" of the rankest variety ?
And finally, would you care to send your children to a town
impregnated with Round-Up atmosphere? Isn't it a fact that a great
Round-Up towiw is for that very reason a poor state school town?
Would you want your children to carouse, dance and gamble in
Happy Canyon or to even witness its wanton revelry?
