Additional paving of streets north of the tracks canno:
be undert:ikenf we understand, until the storm sewer prob
lem for the city is solved. Hasten the day when that is
accomplished. La Grande has a beautiful city park and
tourist campground on the banks of the Grande Hondo
jCiver but the street approach must le paved if either local
citizens or motoring visitors are to be enticed to its entrance.

HARD TIMES AND SOFT TIMKS.
Iere in La Grande and throughout the Valley you hear
frequently too frequently, probably alout times l)eing a
little hard and business dull. On one side you hear tho
plight of the rancher and farmer who ha. experienced th
agricultural depression, on another side the dismay of th-.'
b'jine.ss man who misses the old-time railroad payroll and
peak crop prices that made maximum volume, and on still
another the lament of the tailoring men at layoffs and
rlack industries. ......
All of which is more or less true. The man who de
pends upon the soil for his livelihood and profit has had
too iittle of one and nothing of the other for a stretch of
four or five years now. His buying power has locn re
duced in proportion. The raihoad payroll is lower thin
it Used to lc in the day when Miiall engines and many
r.hoit trains were the rule acioss the Illue Mountains.
And due to readjustments from the peak pc-iiod through
out the country industiies have suffeicd, railroads have
not had as large a volume of freight to cany, and there
fore unemployment hna Income a more serious problem in
a city .is industnal in chaw.cter as is La Grande.
IIumiicss is dull ano conditions aie bad but only i.?
comparison with the business and conditions of the pe;k
war period. Considering Hli5 mid the futuie, lx,th business
i nd conditions are good and every indication points to
greater improvement next fall and the following year.
Things might In Utter or voi:-e. Certainly ciop pros
pects arc most encouraging and industrial activity promise
10 Ik? tiemendously improved by fall. And with bettered
conditions over the nation, now indicated for the lattcv
p;!it of the year, iailit.ad lalfr dt niands will 13 consider
nbly increased, ilusiness exr-i-rts of long experience antici
pate a period of pn: polity within the next few yeais that
will rival the pot-war lecoid.

A little Polish hoy, without telling his parents, changed
his name the first day in an American school. He had
a fine Tolish name, but he was in a new world, and he
wanted a name that would symbolize' his great change.
European women, upon coming to America, quickly
revolutionize the manner of things they buy for their
tables and their homes. An authority has estimated that
foreign-born women ask for goods by their advertised
names within two weeks after they have begun house
keeping in America.
They are quick to sense that in the new world the
good tilings are advertised, and that unknown goods in
unknown stores are likely to Imj of unsatisfactory quality
As the European woman quickly learns, American ad
vertising is for the buyer's protection.
An Ad verliscd Product Hears a Proud Name..
It Has a Reputation to Uphold.
