SAMSON SIEVE-GRIPS- IN A CLASS BY THEMSELVES.
Original ideas developed through experience and necessity are'
embodied in Samson Sieve-Grip Tractors. You will find features
there not thought of by others.
Recently we have secured letters patent on the method of con
necting the air breather of a pas engine crank case to our patent
ed NODUST-MOISTO-RIZER. This will be another exclusive
feature in Samson Sieve-Gripe Tractors or otherwise an in
fringement if used by others.
The close connection of our management, being direct in touch
with the actual operation, wants and requirements proving to be
necessary in the small size farm tractor, we attribute largely to
the success of the Samson Sieve-Grip.
It is our aim to manufacture a one hundred per cent efficiency
tractor, sold at a right price, and give service that secures' satis
fied customers.

"Central" Appreciates
Your Kindness
There are three operators concerned in every
telephone call you, the party you are talking to and
"central."
AU three partios must co-operate if the best ser
vice is to be had.
The telephone operators are human, just as you
are. "
Being human, they appreciate kindness and cour
tesy, but resent unkindness and discourtesy just as
any of us do.
Kindness begets kindness, courtesy creates cour
tesy and patience encourages patience.
If you wish to get the best out of your tele
phone, make it a point to be kind and courteous
to the operators.

LA GRANDE, Oct. 31. To the edi
tor: La Grande Chapter of the Amer
ican Red Cross must again beg a little
of your valuable space to state their
case to the public.
Notwithstanding the .'act that it has
previously set forth that criticisms
throughout the country are doing im
measurable injury to the Red Cross,
we are informed that they continue.
These criticisms, innuendoes, and ex
pressed doubts fostered by the enemy
amount to antipatnouc propaganda
througnout the United States. Re
peating a criticism dees almost as
much harm as originating it. Both i
advance the interests of our enemies.!
and will increase tho sufferings of
our own sons and brothers. There is
no doubt that this is d.vie without any
thought of doing harm, but the in
jury results just the same, and the
rescue work is slowed up.
We have been informed that the
local Chapter is being criticized for
contributing $1000 to aid in the equip
ment of the Oregon base Hospital.
The Baso Hospital it. a Reu Cross
Hospital. The personnel is made up of
Oregon phyicians and burgeons, two
of whom are from our own county, !
Oregon nurses, and one hundred and
fifty-two other Oregon men. Port
land Red Cross gave $20,000 toward
its equipment. Pendleton gave $8000
worth of material aloins and made it I
up into hospital equipment. The bal-
ance of the money wai to have been
raised by the other Red Cross Chap
ters in Oregon. It should be to their
lasting disgrace that many of them
failed to "make good." Therefore
Oregon fell down. The B. P. O. E.,
however, of tho United States, came
to the aid of the Hospital, and is con
tributing the balance o the money
needed. Should La Grande be proud
or sorry that its Red Cross Chapter
did not permit it to go in the column
of those who failed ? We believe that
La Grande is proud of the fact that it
did its duty, und that any criticism is
due to misunderstanding alone.
It is not within the power of a Red
Cross Chapter to use the money that
comes to it for any other purposes
than those dictated by the Govern
ment to its representatives, viz: For
the equipment of base hospitals, and
the manufacture of surgical dressings
and necessaries for the Army and
Navy under the direction of Red
Cross headquarters. It is not al-

The work sonsists first in furnish

wounds. Do we want them to be
bound up with newspapers, or straw
and strings? We know that it is not
the case, and that it wii! nut occur if
the women of Ameriia realize soon
enough that it will occur just as sure
as the sun continues to rise, if they do

cause for bitter regrets.
In all humility this committee begs
the people in the jurisdiction of this
Chapter to give their aid in any way
they can.
In addition to those faithful ladies
who have worked continually and
without ostentation from the begin
ning of the need, the sewing section
needs an unlimited number of women
to help. Let us heed the appeal of
Major Murphy made in yesterday's
Observer, and appended hereto, to
make surgical dressings. Come to
the sewing rooms in the Elks building.
We have money to buy materials, but
must have workers. Please do not
criticize us adversely, but give us your
help .

objrcls as clear as possible when we
