J Wiis would bo a stable and happy world, indeed, if a man's faith could be made as immovable as his prejudiced. ; The advance in the price of rubber from 17 cents a year ago. to 85 cents now seems like stretching a good thing too far. Eastern Oregon isn't world-famed as a resort, possibly, but 'between the tornadoes of the Middle West, earthquakes of California, and high-pressure land salesmen of Florida, we imagine it can be considered a very satisfactory plaC2 in which to live. IT you didn't have to drive through the oil between Pen dleton and The Dalles when that road was being bound this' spring, you can approve thoroughly the ultimate effect evident today. It's a marvelous highway, better than pav ing'and probably worth the oil splashes suffered by indig nant motorisfiPcarlier in the season. ' OUT OTJR WAY By WILLIAMS 'fa &os vo A MUS THINK OOR 7?

The practice of many citizens, therefore, of keeping a sprinkler going during the entire period given lliem and using nunc water in one day than would ordin arily be inquired in three or four days without restriction is contrary to the spirit of the ruling. Yet that is a natural reaction. We are at a loss to sen how alternate days will save; tho city's water supply with such practices common. It might be more successful to allow sprinkling during one certain hour each day for the entire city or work out some new arrangement where every lawn fancier would not feel' urged to consume all the water the law allows. It's not so much a city administration problem as it is a community problem. COLLKCTINU. ' A. commercial collection agency has offered to collect the war debts owed the United States by its former allies. What is more, tho agency guarantees to collect every last penny owing Uncle Sam with interest. If given the jub the ;iigenry would charge tho usual commission of 10 per cent. In its offer the collection agency suggests the reason why the American debt commission has failed to collect even Me interest on some of the loans and the principal in all of the loans. i This reason, as given, is that the commission because of inexperience docs not know that a certain amount of r.ppUed psychology is necessary to effect successful collec tions.. It is true that statesmen and government agents are often, ignorant of the psychology and practice of business. I The American debt commission has repeatedly agreed with, the debtor nations that they are too poor to pay wit'i the result that interest is compounded. A skilled collection agent, would talk the financial expeits of the debtor coun tries' ) to believing themselves fully solvent, with the result that both principal and interest would be paid up in full in less time than it lakes the debt commission to write it note asking for another conference. Should it be found impractical to turn over the war dobtsto a commercial collection agency at the regular col hctidp rates nothing could be lost by placing one or two t:::pert collectors on the debt commission, and they might ot the desired results. And results are what the people i.rc demanding. OFFICE CAT ''.it I'l-Oilllfl fif l-'illlllllil KIIVN mmics nr Immoral, hut hImi cures ...-if uimi in thinks aiHMit it.'

This is the 20lh century. But we are still superstitious; for example, when we pay fancy prices for eastern lubricants in spite of the fact that the best crudes so far discovered for the manufacture of a motor oil are obtained from wells on the Pacific Coast. Experience explodes the anti-ivestern oil superstition Zcroleno actually lubricates bettor and because it does it lubricates more cars in the Pacific Coast states than any other oil made low and high priced cars alike. The most advanced refining process is this Company's patented high-vacuum process, during the uso of which Zerolene is submitted to 15 positive checks for quality. Zerolcne's special filtration through 40 tons of Florida Fuller's Earth gives you r.n oil that's absolutely pure and safe. A longer working life for your motor Zerolene will increase the gasoline mileage of your car, reduce carbon accumulation and lengthen its working life. Why pay tribute to a superstition? Insist on Zerolene ask for it by name, Get the Facts!
