"A man is an animal with clothes and ideas. It

UP AGAINST IT!
When tlic out-of-town interests get up aeninst the eommu.-.,a which has in (mira
tion all that is -meant by the word co-operation, then there is no alternative other I'um
to pass it by. That men and women living and working in the same community .cf'uso
to co-operate is one of the riddles of this a ere. It is the co-onerative effort that brines
everlasting good. "
Ask yourself this question, "Am I doing anything that is keeping back the growth
of my community?" "Am I leaving anything undone to -advance the growth?" With
this spirit we can co-operate, and rightly directed co-operation is the great corrector
of all community evils. . i

SAFETY FIRST
It is important for all of us to caution our fellow
workman with strict observance of safety suggestions as
it is for the public in general to keep them ever upper
: most in our minds.
It may serve to save a life, or at least the painful
experience of a lesser injury which might terminate in
a permanent disability.
The surest protection against injury to everybody is
to keep our minds continually on the job in hand and
watch our steps.

The Stroller wandorcd Into tho
Observer office this morning to got
his mail, having been gone on a va
cation for several weeks to Hot Lake
where ho had boon the guest (a pay
ing guest) or Dr. W. T. I'hy. Not be
ing a married man I was not encumb
ered with any excess baggage and I
want to say that I enjoyed my stay
Immensely. Hot Lake is sure some
delightful place and I don't wonder
that so many people go there and
when tho new road is built to Hot
Lake, and Dr. I'hy puts In his golf
links you will see fat men like Joe
Cnrr walking over the links, ath
letes like Jay Vanlluren chasing
pIllB over tho green and Larry Larl
son looking like a million dollars
In up-to-date golf togs. I under
stand that Al Andrews has already
ordered a consignment of knee trous
ers for tho boys. But what 1 start
ed to say was this: I got my mall,
opened all my bills, tore them up
and, like Kthel llarryniore In her
play, said, ' Thoie, thank my stars,
those are paid." and al:ed the boss
If I could have a typewriter and write
something for the community page.
And here It Is:
how xot to itrn.n n tiik
m sii:ss MK.V8 i.i . mi;os
1. Don't come.
2. If you come, come late.
3. If too wet or too dry, too hot
or too cold, don't think of coming.
i. Kick if you are not appointed
on a committee, and If you are ap
pointed, never attend a committee
meeting.
5. Don't have invlhlng to say
when you are cnlled'opnn.
6. If you do attend a meeting find
fault with the proceedings and work
done by other luemberB,
7. Never bring a friend whom yon
think might Join the organization.
8. Don't do anything more than
you can possibly help to further the
club's interests; then when a few
take off their coats and do things
howl that the club is run by a clique.
liiislness Men's Luncheon.
Don't forget tho business men's
luncheon tomorrow nt tho Foley Ho
tel. These luncheons nro open to
all. Anyone Interested in tho wel
fare and progress of La Grande,
whether a business man. farmer, pro
fessional man, or worker Is cordially
Invited to nttend. If you have any
Ideas for tho betterment of Union
and Wallowa conn lies or I.a Grande,
get up and spring them at the lunch

the city aro especially welcome.
Itcd Cross Dance.
Don't forget the Red CrosB dance
tonight at Zuhcr ball. The public is
invited to come and havo a good time
and Incidentally to help the good
cause.
CO-OPEKATION
The man who took the word "operation" and set "co"
in front of it took the common clay of work and breathed
soul into it.
Look around with understanding and you will see that
Co-operation is but another and a bettor way of spelling
"Life."
Co-operation is at once the name and doFinilioii of a
power almost as limitless as space, tho. secret of exist
ence, the secret of success.
Whore Co-operation is suspended, nature is but cold
stone. A business without Co-op'-mMon is soon stone
broke.
A modern business' is like a co .n-it.,-,1 ,teoo of ma
chinery the smallest cog must c ,. -...to or (juickly be
replaced.
He who compares life to a game of poker mako .1 bad
-...Lstako. No man can play a lone hand and win in the
game of life.
Notice! You will find the surest path of progress, the
shortest out to success, is the fullest co-operation with
those with whom you work.
The Franklin's Key.
o
Men who work with the hands and those who find work
for hands to do should fool that ties that bind them to
gether are stronger than temporary day wages.
Thomas Carlyle.
THESE ARK THE DAYS
Twenty years from now we will loo!. !.-, :. ui 1917
and 1918 and say to our children, "Those ' ' good
old days." We will recall the stirring eve:.. l(1' i limes, .'
tell how we made things hum, how we worked, for the,
lied Cross, and the Liberty loans, the Army Y. M. O. A.'
and the K. C. drives, how we took off our coats and made
tilings hum every, lime that Uncle Sam called.
It is a fact tliat Union and Wallowa counties and omr
enterprising citizens have, gone over the top on every
proposition, and they have been inspired and led by our
boys and girls who have gone to tho front. Tin; splendid
record of Union and Wallowa (and every city, townvyil
lage and cross roads has made good) shows the benefits
of organization and team work. The country called. The
men and women, boys and girls answered. They forgot
religion, race, color, polities and worked together, hound .
by a common cause. Of course, the cause was national;
love of country the appealing motive. But the success .
of every drive is bringing men and women closer together.
Love of home, love of town and iiy u anov.'er compelling
motive that can bo built un to in:; ice
