; 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. '

1 Conservation of water supply is the chief reason for the
allotment of alternate days to divisions of the city for
sprinkling. 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.

- -Or so people used to think in the 16th century.
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!
A series of independent and impartial reports
showing the experience of large users with
Zerolene has been collected in our booklet,
"Why Pay Tribute to a Superstition? "Ask any
