Worth Careful Thought
Do you read the label to know whether
your baking powder is made from cream
of tartar or, on the other hand, from alum
or phosphate?
Royal Baking Powder is made from
cream cf tartar, derived from grapes, and
adds to the food only wholesome qualities.
Other baking powders contain alum or
phosphate, both of mineral origin, and
used . as substitutes for cream of tartar
because of their cheapness.
Never sacrifice quality and healthful
ness for low price.

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.

La Grande Man In Named On Centrrl
Committee to Appear Before th :
Legislature With Organized Movi
ment. Portland, Nov. 8. (Special) Th .
Oregon Good Roads committee oti
organized Monday with the object of
taking highway controversies out oi
politics by preparing and presenting u-
Btatcwido building program for tho
next legislature. Tha organization
meeting was held in the committei
room of the Portland Realty board,
where representatives from 11 leading
civic organizations of Oregon gathered
in response to a call made by the
State Taxpayers' league.
. In order to make a central commit
tee fully representative of tho entire
state, the names of 16 well known
Oregoninns residing in various dis
tricts were added to tho committee
list. O. W. Taylor, of Portland, was
elected president; C. E. Spence of
Oregon City, vice-president; K. K
Smith of Roscburg, secretary and J.
C. Ainsworth treasurer. In addition
to the officers, J. D. Brown, J. F. Daly,
and E. E. Brodie will comprise the ex
ecutive committee.
It is hoped that the organization
will be able to appear beforo the next
legislature with a definite road build
ing program which will bear the ap
proval of the state at large. The or
ganization will determine which high
ways should be built first. The ques
tion of whether road laws and matters
bearing on licensing of automobiles
should be changed will be taken up
'also. I
President Taylor said today that
there will be an effort made to pro
cure a maximum amount of funds
from the forest service and post roads
account with the least expenditure by
the state. Means of procuring funds
by taxation in the several counties for
a reasonable program, will be consid
ered in this connection. Their rep

New York, Nov. 8. (Pres Staff
Correspondent) The weakness of the
National League brand of baseball as
compared with the snappy brand
dished out by the American League,
pointed out by the United Press in the
last World Series, was admitted today
by Governor John K. Tencr, President
of the National League. It isn't Wil
bert Robinson who is so much to
blame for the loss of the World Series,
according to Gov. Tenrsr, but is due
to the fact that the players who made
up the National League club were
wholly unable to do the things which
might have won ball games. It would
have been useless, Tener contends, for
Robinson to follow tactics other than
the ones he did follow. The fielding,
Governor Tener agrees, was some
thing awful and the Brooklyn club
never has a chance against such a
grand organization as the Red Sox.
Tener, however, is extremely optimis
tic and he believes that before tho
time comes for another world series
his league will be strengthened to
such an extent that it will give its
rival opposition of the sternest sort.
Work is now being done, he declares,
which will give the National League
undoubted strength. The National
League prexy agreed that there were
several clubs in the National League
at the close of the last playing season
which would have given the world ser
ies fans a better run for their money
than did the Dodgers. He didn't name
these clubs, but it. was evident he
does not believe the best club in the
National League won the pennant.
A F all.
"One swallow doesn't make a sum
mer,"" replied the Wise Guy. "No, but
the history of the Garden of Eden
shows that one apple once made a
fall," replied the Simple Mug.
REPAPEM
YOUR HOME
An Expert Tells You How to
Freshen Up Your Walls After
the Summer Vacation So They
Give Cheer and Comfort For
Wintry Months Just Ahead.
WHEN a wall with Its paper U
to be a background it must,
lu the first place, give sup.
port to what Is hung on it.
In the second It must give richness, ,
Interest and harmony without being
assertive, Just as the background In a
picture.
All plain papers do not make an
equally good and manageable back
ground; neither will the same paper
look the same In two different rooms.
In the first place, the character, col.
or and texture of the paper Itself must
be considered, and, in the Becond, one
must take Into account the exposure,
the amount uud kind of light entering
rife room for which paper, even plain
paper, la to be chosen.
Of the three primary colors, - from
which ull others are derived, red and
yellow are known as "warm" or "ad
vancing," while blue Is styled "cool"
or "receding."
On the walls of a room the advanc
ing colors, or colors In whose composi
tion they predominate, haven tendency
to "come at you." so to speak, and
they also contract tho apparent size of
a room. On the other hand, the "cool"
or "receding" colors. In which the blue
element predominates, dn not come at
yon, and they Increase the apparent
size of the room.
This quality is shared also by grays
In which there is little or virtually no
blue.
In calculating upon the exposure or
source of light In rooms the composi
tion, of the colors In the paper must
be kept In mind.
A north light will generally need
warmer color than will other expo
sures.
Another thing to remember Is that
a mass of plain paper Is apt to look
deeper In tone than a sample. If pos
sible, therefore, get a large piece to
hang up aud verify your Judgment be
fore having the wall papered.
Plain paper will generally be suit
able In halls, dtulug rooms, libraries,
living rooms and parlors, but no hard
and fast rule can be formulated, nor la
one desirable.
When the wall Is to be a decoration
keep pictures and other ornaments
off It.
The rrallable possibilities In this
field Include the many excellent mod
era reproductions of Interesting old
French papers with classic cartoons,
used continuously nr else as panels
with plain paper between, the pic
torial and landscape papers, the Chi
nese patterns, the old English printed
linen adaptations and many others
that are exceptionally beautiful tn col
or and design.
To Shrink Cotton.
It Is better to shrink the material be
fore making up. Fold tho cloth
smoothly and place In a tub or other
large receptacle. Pour enough cold
water to cover. When the material Is
thoroughly saturated pour In hot wa
ter, gradually Increasing the tempera
ture until the water Is as warm ns the
hand can stand.
Leave two or three hours. Pour off
the water and press as much out of
the material as possible, but do not
wring. Hang on a line In the open air,
stretching nut smooth and pinning
along one selvage. n
To Avoid Chipping Dlshoo.
A splendid economic devico Is to ap
ply a piece of rubber hose an Inch and
a half long to both lint and cold water
faucets In tho kitchen sink. This pre
vents a chance bump against the metal
faucet breaking or chipping dishes,
It will save many a piece of china
from the unsightly and expensive
nicks which so often occur and are so
disliked by good housekeepers.

ABOUT HUBBY'S
DAILY LUNCH
Does Your Belter Half Economize
With a Sandwich and Food
Drink, or Does He Gorge a
Four Course? The Wisdom of
Light, Nourishing Midday Meals.
TUB next time friend husband
recalls what mother used to
make and scoffs at the huuiblo
family menu let his good wife
inquire, "Dear, what did you have for
lunch today?"
Tills question may probably disclose
the fact that, while husbands are
prone to criticise the home table, they
do not choose their business meals
with even that much common sense.
The average business man Is at one
of two extremes. Either he spends
two hours ou a full course dinner at
midday at his favorite grill or chop
house or he is of the other class who
believe a noon meal Is a waste of time
and who satisfy any primordial gnaw-
lugs by a cake of chocolate or a food
drink. I.Ike any other extreme position.
neither of these Conceptions of noon
eating Is rational or hygienic. Rarely
ever- can tho busy executive take
out nearly two hours for the purpose
of satisfying his hunger and thirst.
The heavy several course meat meal
In the middle of the day undoubtedly
with most Individuals causes soggl-
uess and the 2 o'clock "fatigue curve."
Since it takes about two hours to di
gest such n meal, the brain worker
cannot be at his fittest lu the hours
succeeding a meal of this kind.
On the other hand, no worker of
any type can do good work on a soli
tary sandwich or piece of chocolate.
Given the distance from place of busi
ness which many men have to travel
In the morning, with attendant scanty
breakfast, it follows that at noon both
body and mind need a moderate
amount of nutrition.
What, then, shall friend husband
choose for lunch? He must steer his
way between the Scylla of the sand
wich and the Charybdts of the noon
day dinner. Instead of Intrusting his
organism to the doubtful value of a
cup of coffee and a slice of pie, or to
a glass of hastily made bouillon with
a few crackers. It Is possible from
even a modest bill of fare to select
what Is nourishing but not taxing.
Similarly the man of more ample
pocketbook need not order a steak with
trimmings, sausages and hot cakes, po
tatoes, vegetables, pie and cheese.
If the bill of fare offers a good soup,
like lentil, pea, tomato bisque or beef,
a geuerous portion of this will do as a
tarter. This can be followed by a
sandwich; If It Is of the right kind, not
watery bread with a shaving of ham,
but a thick, well buttered slice with
more than a sample of a meat filling,
a fried egg or generous slice of cheese.
A third dish, If rightly chosen, would
make this a good lunch such, for in
stance, as cup custard, tapioca or other
pudding, or custard or lemon pie, gen
roily dear to the masculine palate.
Instead of this three piece comblna
tlon a two dish menu of the following
type can be chosen: The inn. In dish
should be of the baked bean, potple,
stew or similar type, In which a small
bit of meat Is combined with a larger
amount of pastry, vegetable and gravy,
The most acceptable number after this
would be some of tho fruit dishes, like
apple pie, baked npnln, prunes, etc. In
higher prlcru ciiling places similar
good dlbes me found lu chicken wings
and rice, hot nilin ed turkey sandwich,
small serving of llsh or the various
casserole dishes so popular In the for
eign eating houses.
The idea Is to choose nourishment
tn small bulk, to be sure to have one
dish or dishes that will give sufficient
protein or muscle value, and In the
other dishes to choose Btarch, fruit and
flavor. There Is no more excuse for
the gluttonous noon meal or the equal
ly unwise scanty lunch for friend hus
band than there Is for the Inadequate
cream puff -chocolate lunch of the busi
ness girl.
Braliad Carrots.
Scrape and lay In cold water for an

Meanwhile fry In a little hot bacon

add the drained c arrots to the fat and
stir briskly until Just beginning to

vegetable In a heated coved dish, add
