T"VOE. EIGHT LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER FRIDAY, DECEMBER 29, 1910. Don't be Deceived by The Lure of Low Prices - "When you buy drugs, remember that quality is the .only true test o,f cheap ness. Inferior drugs are expensive at any price. Our goods are all marked at definite prices above cost and these prices are such that there is always a distinct saving to those who buy drugs ifi-oni us regula rly. It' you pay less than Ave ask, you will probably get inferior goods. Quality Goods, Superior Service and Right Prices are what we offer. This is a rare combi nation which insures' health, protection and a financial saving to our customers.

(United i Press) Who got the button, Ann's ago, and who hit Billy Patterson prob ably will ull be solved before the Na- , tional Congressional Union for Wom an Suffrage finds out who got the l.anner they swung before President Wilson from the House gallery. Also the question of where it is now. Press Agent Henry Swinehart, who engineered the affair that startled 1 the joint Congressional audience on that otherwise peaceful day, admit ted today the Union has about given j up hope of getting back its banner. ' The day after its appearance in the House, those who flung it to the legislative breeze only to have it un- , ceremoniously jerked to earth, went to the sergeant-at-armB' office to get it back. They failed to do so. The next heard of the now historic j ( nvhloni was at the Gridiron dinner several Saturday nights back, when the Gridironers pulled a burlesque of the incident while the President was addressing them. The same banner was used in the burlesque. News of this event gave Congres sional Union officials hope. They tuttonholed every Gridiron Club mem ber they knew and some they didn't. They pleaded they wanted the grand-old-flag to use as a background when they were photographed in their new home upon tho occasion of dedicating it. They did not get it.

Prison Is Corporal's Sentence Richard Cunningham, Off at the Front, Returned Alarmed at the Continued Silence of His Wife. London. Dec. 29. (By Mail) (Uni ted Press) Richard Cunningham, 84, the lance-corporal who killed his wife in a fit of irrief over her betrayal while he was in the trenches todayd began a scnlonce of one year under a man-slaughter charge. The stern English jury frankly tempered jus tice with mercy in Cunningham's case in which the unwritten law played a deciding part. Cunningham, taking his turn in the trenches was tormented by his wife's silence. He seldom heard from her during his first few months with the colors and later her letters ceased al together. Friends wrote him men tioning a mysterious caller at his home in London. The soldier wrote to local authorities in an effort to learn what had become of his little son but received scant satisfaction in the official replies with their imper sonal wording and red-tape. At the first opportunity Cunning ham obtained leave from France and returned home. . A few days later the Dolice found him lying unconscious across the dead form of his wife. She had been strangled. . An officer said Cunningham was a high type of soldier without a single black mark against his name in the army records. His former employer gave him a similar good character. In passing the minimum sentence the jury recommended that the con victed soldier ought not to be com pelled to serve his term among com mon criminals.

Tho average rate of annual increase in ttie residence registration at jmi- geno lor tne last twelve years nas beon 16 per cont. Tins averago increase has been ex perienced in spite of the loss of tiie engineering school, which, however, only temporarly retarded the rate of growth. The increase this year over the cor responding date last year is 18 per cent. The percentage of increase has been larger during the later portion than during the earlier portion of the twelve year peroid. No reason is seen at tho University why the percentage should get any smaller for the next ten years. An attendance of 4500 would give the University of Oregon an enroll ment equivalent to the present en rollments of such well-known Amer ican institutions of Ohio State Uni versity, University ofMissouri, Uni versity of Nebraska, Syracuse Univer sity, and Northwestern University of Evanston. Only a few American uni versities have now a large enrollment. correspondence-study enrollment is now 675, an increase of about 150 per cent in two years. The extension class enrollment is now. 1694, tin in crease of about 333 per cent in two years. The estimated attendence at extension lectures for this college year is 74,000, an increase of about 20 per cent. .

A. C. Cadet Band Leaves For Elgin Fifty thousand acres more would pro vide enough material for belting, cord age, and other coarser products. There were not 450,000 acres of flax sown for fiber in the United States last year, however. There was 2,000, of which 1,000 were in Oregon. Before the war the acres on which was raised practically all the fiber used in the United States were in Bel gium, France, and other countries a iong way from the United States. Since the war the United States has the beautiful millrace that passes the State University campus. It is as fol lows: I am the leaves of the trees that lean Over the still mill race, Swinging and lifting, devising shifa ing patterns in shadow lace; Swish of water and slim canoe, Silver of voices threading through Oh these are the sounds that stem through the green When you are the lenvjs of the tw.s that lean.
