WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1916. UNION COUNTY'S SENATOR. The Oregonian prints the following sketch of the joint senator of Union and Wallowa counties: "Walter M. Pierce, joint senator elect from Union and Wallowa coun ties, is a resident of Union county, Bulking his home on his 2500-acro form some six miles from tho city of 1 La Grande. If it were necessary to give his occupation one would bo com pelled to clnssify him ns farmer, law yer, politician, as he is equally eligible to honorablo mention in either class. He is a graduate from one of the Eastern law schools and for a num ber of years was actively engaged in tho practice of law in Umatilla coun ty, where he also Borvcd tho people as eonnty school superintendent and also ns county clerk. Later ho began farming on a largo scale and repro rentcd tho people again as joint sena tor for Umatilla, Union and Morrow eounties. . "Later he took up his residence in Union county, whore he engaged in lorming and Wvkraising on a large scale and at tho same time was active i several large business ventures, the principal of which was tho rebuilding aid reconstructing of tho electric lighc plant which furnished light and pow er for the various towns in Union eonnty. Tho pust few years he has "voted tho greater portion of his time to his extensivo farming and cat tle interests. "Mr. Pierce is a man of recognized ability and an orator of note. Ho has ever been an exponent of education ond is at present a member of the board of regents of the Oregon Agri tulturnl college, devoting much time to its nfTairs. Ho is n strong advo cate of anti-single tax nnd is presi dent of the State Taxpayers' league." Tho sketch is true. Union nnd Wal lowa counties will bo represented by u man of ability who will be heard and listened to with respect in the state senate. i January 1. Big bodies move slowly. And this is not a day of miracles. They are playing indoor golf at the Multnomah hotel in Portland. They say that penochle and poker are very good indoor hotel games too. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day. In tho midst of plenty let us not forget those who are not so fortunate. The whole country joins with Mr. Hughes in wishing the president "a most successful administration." And Christmas days away. only twenty-seven Wby not have a corn show in La Grunde? Picked Up By The Stroller The snow didn't stay long. V The Stroller wondered into a store yesterday and kept on going until ho wandered in where a lady wns just starting to try on a new dress and then he wandered out. Those modern up-to-date fashions are certainly worth seeing. Tho Stroller is led to remark fur ther that the high cost of living has evidently brought about certain econ omics in dry goods. Tho Chicago diet squad seem to be getting three squares a day without work. Which is one of the problems we never were able to solve. Good night Mr. Turkey, you were a good old wagon once. A Christmas present in the closet or back of the bureau is worth two in tho shop. Think of the fun you have bidding it. Tho question of "what and who beat Hughes" is going to rival other famous questions lino "who killed cork robin" nnd "who hit Billy Patterson." Future of Republican Party ' It will be necessary for the Repub lican party hereafter, if it is to re deem the West, to shape its platform imd policies with more regard to the interests, the demands and the preju dices of the West. It will be neces sary to cast out of mind the idea that New York and Ohio are the motherp of Presidents and that Indiana is tht mother of Vice-Presidents. Tho party must come farther west for its candi dates and campaign managers. Mr. Fairbanks was a drag on the ticket in tho West. Ho is commonly regarded as a survivor of tho Old Guard. Had some typically progressive Western man, such as Senator Borah, been named with Mr. Hughes, he would have been an earnest of progressive ness and of consideration for Western ideas and interests which might have caused a1-. very- different story to be told. Th habit of nominating New York-dndiana or Ohio-Indiana tickets must be broken. Future conventions must take in the breath of the con tinent when they select their candi dates. Tho Republican party is as undying as aro its principles, it is suffering eclipse only while it is relegating to tho rear old leaders and is coming to recognize new impulses and inspira tions, which require a new type f leaders. This work was begun with the split in 1912 and there was good cause to believe that it had been com pleted this year, but certain blunders of the candidate and of his managers raised doubt of its completion in the minds of many voters, and the oppo sition played on this doubt with suc cess. Regeneration of the party should be fully completed before an other Presidential election, so fully completed as to be undeniable. If tho convention and tho leaders of that year profit by the lessons of this year, they may well not only redeem the West but make inroads on the border states of the South. The Oregonian. The Critics of Missions Much of the criticism of missions is absolutely unwarranted. If Christian missions are not justified in their ma jor outlook, then life itself is not justified. I speak with some exper ience, and after talking with traders, writers and other disinterested per sons, when I say Christian missions are tho finest examples of American helpfulness and efficiency that our nation furnishes. Administering, as we do, new appetites and vices to the backward nations of the world, the greatest antidote and the grandest gift we are making is in giving the knowledge of Christ to the people of tho earth. No other gift we make could offset tho vices which modern civilization is carrying to the neg lected races. The Christian Herald. Clothes That Are Worth Copyright Hart Sdifu.r Si Mux The Price You can easily pay the price of good clothes with out getting value for the money. There are lots of such clothes. That's one of the reasons why we make a special feature of Hart Schaff tier & Marx clothes. The value you pay for is in the goods, the ma terials, the all wool fabrics, the tailoring, the style. Its a good deal to get these days when cheap stuff is so common and so defective. We have Hart Schaf f ner & Marx Suits and Overcoats at $20 to $30 w i wm n if 9 m -iti -------:, 3 4- I j 4- Flotsam and Jetsam The Three Sisters Sweet yesterday is gone.

You can start a bank account today and keep it alive, and feel that those dependent on you are provided for. There never was a better time to save than today, and every dollar you place in this bank is fully protected; always accessable, and acts as an ever-present inspiration to save more WIT AND HUMOR A Natural Error The visitorHark! some one is playing a delight fill hit of Wngncr!

Dog fanciers have long noted that when a house-dog begins to get fat and wheezy it is pretty apt to be at tacked by a stubborn skin disease. In such a case they cut down the diet and increase the open air exercise, thus relieving the over-burdened body of poisonous substances. The sin of gluttony is common and therefore much condoned, but like every other violation of Nature's laws has n penalty. Fat inefficiency, sluggish mentality, the redened nose, the pimpled face, certain of the chronic skin eruptions, and much fa tigue and nervousness arc duo to the abuse of .the digestive apparatus. Rich, indigestible, foods in large quan tities, highly seasoned to stimulate the jaded palate, are forced into a body already rebellious from reple tion. Exercise is largely limited to walking to and from the table and bodily deterioration proceeds rapidly. Many an overfed dyspeptic, suddenly dragged by the stern hand of circum stance from a life of physical case and plenty nnd forced to work out of doors suddenly discovers that his semi-invnlulism has gone, that a chronic skin derangement- of many years standing has disappeared and that a new vigor nnd zest of life has been given him. Not everyone can spend his whole time in the open air but a certain amount of cvercise nnd plain wholo sr me food in an amount not exceeding tho body's needs can be had by almost everyone. Simple moderate diet and exercise make for health. These are not faddish food theories; they are just plain common sense. -O ! THURSDAY BKE A KFAST. Grapca. Frlcaao of Chipped Beat. Fried Cereal.
