It is refreshing to hear a man of Dr. Currey's type speak as he docs, for tho doctor is one of the most eX' tensively traveled men in the northwest. An Old-Fashioned Boy We woii't mention his name, but ho travels over Ore gon in the interest of a very large business concern. Ho makes La Grande once a year and we liavc known him iot a long time. Past middle age, this "old-fashioned boy" Jills his niche in the great scheme of life in a most com Imendable manner, for his religion, his very life outside f his work, is his task of caring for an aged mother and an aged aunt. This man earns no big money, but he does earn a good. salary as salaries go. lie lives modestly on the road and ;he-.maintains a home with all the comforts of life some .place on the coast for the two aged ladies who have spent .thoir active lives in earlier days in doing the things that jpjine up for good women to do. But, the fine part of this little human interest story ijs that tho traveling man who is the outstanding charac ter of this narrative delights, in making those two aged iiadies happy. To him the greatest of all joys is to know J.hat "mother" and "aunt" are pleased, lie foregoes the jexpensive social events, he foregoes high priced clothes, Jie foregoes,, a lot of things that other men of his ago jpnjoy.'in the full knowledge that in so doing he is better enabling himself to provide for those who depend upon him. jj1 . Pretty fine, isn't it? Read it again, for it is a true (story and you will agree with us that still in this old j world with all its dissension, with all its mockery, with :iill its hypocrisy, there is now and then the milk of human ijkindness that has not dried up; there is now and then a jjllowcr of love that blooms and blossoms despite the mad '.J'tJtih of jn-escnt-day existence. And the old-fashioned boy of whom we speak retains that flower of love for mother and' auntie in all its beauty and fragrance.

A, K There are times in all lives when men see green pas fares in tho distance; when things do not go just right; when our country seems lax in this or that, and the de- .sic conie3 to enter a bi and new region and build it to jiitit ourselves. . Dr. 11. h. Currey of Jiaker had that vision one lime. jnnd being a man of action, he decided to seek a country tliial hud broad acres almost for the asking, that had a -warmer cliinaie, that had so many tilings on paper that "bnelo Sam's domain does not jxissess. lie set his slime in Peru where a million acres of land was offered the jj"Doc" and his party of country tamers. "Fine," said Dr. Currey, "now we will proceed with things as they should j be; now we will build according to scientific lines; now we jiill organize our community and live alter the principle of the' Golden Utile." i wiikn vdi i.om: vortt I'OOTIN'i AT Till-: HANK, VO.Ij ;i;m u i,i v . i mi ii.

Oregon new.s- ! papers tolii of the Currey expedition departing for Peru taad then oilier things crowded into the mind and the ex pedition was lost sight of. Yesterday we met Dr. Currey on the streets of I,a ''-ramie and our first question was, "How is Peru, Doctor?" j "Peru, be d d," came the quick reply, and then you should have heard the story of homesickness he related. ies, ii. was an mere, saul me linker docior, "eveiy jl.it and more. We found a .million acres of land at our disposal, and it is gimd land. We found the tropical cli I nate, wo found a hospitable welcome from a govei nineiil that dons things pretty well, and a government thai is 3 anxious for more people. JUit we did not find the stars and stripes, we did not find the American way of living, : ho did not find thai atmosphere among the people estab ), :shcd by George Washington, anil I for one began to j get the blues. I would not have eared if every mountain t 1 saw was of pine gold and 1 had t eiiuvcis at m.v o;sposai. i negan to know mat wealth am j land and climate only count fur mighty little in a man'.- I life. I soon felt the need of mingling with my own kind,1 j and I heat it back to linker where I know the fellows ; and they know me. Henceforth mid forever the govern-' went at Washington can't do anything that will make me feel very badly, for she is the best the sun ever shone on LVXQD 'f they are catching up a lot of Ihe boys in different kinds of dragnets back there. i . ,J'I.et the young venturesome lads go to South America. I agree thai great opportunities await them in that coun J tiy, but. as gieal as the opportunities aro the South Amer- lean mosquitoes, and greater yet are those ti-opieal snakes. 3 Say, speaking of snakes. Tor the love of the Giande Hondo valley, none rf you ever saw a snake. There is a snake 5 in Peru that usually is twelve feet long, has a mouth 5 like a bulldog, runs as fast as an anteloe and makes a : r.oise like a hissing goose. Natives say these snakes will I :iot bite and that Hicy aie harmless, but 1 know they ycare a man so lhat lie will run like an express train to; get. away from tliem. And worst of all, when they are I chasing you the snakes emit an odor that is something teliific. In a race to get' away from this particular type' i of Biiake I'll admit ymi do not notice the odor from the I snake so much, for the olfactory nerve seems to become jiatalyi'ed alung with alj other nerves of the body. .

Likewise, Union mating Gasoline provides power winch, crashim;, dc- "JjCFtasolines cannot deliver. iTy imSSee the Ghang it makes in motors Test for Fifty Miles THERE'S a treat in store for motorists who will try a simple plan. Thousands already know, the results this method gives them and now thty cannot be induced to change.- t It smooths out motors actually adds improvements as though the motor itself were improved. There's an added speed on the straightaway, a new snap in the pick-up wonderfully appreciated in traffic. And increased power on hills enables you to take many grades on high that have always balked you in the past. ' These results improvements that every motorist seeks-are I yours with a mere change of fuel. They will come to any motorist who will use Union Non-Detonating Gasoline, unmixed with any other kind. ; But there is only one way for you to prove these statements. Try this plan. Even a fifty mile test will be convincing. Why You Get These Results There are scientific reasons underlying these results. Union Non-Detonating Gasoline is die product of 21 steps in distillation. Some gasolines are made with but two steps. Without any single step, however, our fuel would not be Union Gasoline, for each step contributes largely to the result you get. The perfect chain of boiling points is of prime importance. The explosions of Union Gasoline are progressive and sustained not crashing and instantaneous. That means smooth, even power an uninterrupted flow. That's what gives you the extra miles per hour to command, the added snap in the pick-up that makes it easy to escape congestion and the plus power on hills that eliminates so much shifting of gears. Here's new motoring pleasure for you. Here is, in effect, an im- proved motor. It's yours in the same easy way that thousands of other motorists get it. Just fill your tank with Union Gasoline and use it unmixed with any other kind. Your first fifty miles will prove the finest fifty miles you have ever driven. Surely that's a result worth trying to obtain.

Sometimes during a . telephone conversation the subscriber finds himself '-'cut off." This condition is often caused by one of the ''parties pressing or jiggling his receiver hook. Under the telephone sys tem now in use in La Grande the pressing down or jiggling up and down of a receiver hook during a conversation always results in "cutting off" the party you are talking to. It is not necessary lo "shake your phone." If at any lime you have trouble in hearing or being heard over the telephone kindly report this trouble to the central office.
