on a phast- or the mail-order cvil:
Some time ago an obliging ttn-r-r)iint
at Buffalo. N. Y., sent me
four neckties without being Hked
to do so. Many others received ti'-a
and it seems several Buffalo mer
chants are sending out ties.
Col. Al Kalrbrother or Greens
boro got a supply. In reply lie sent
this letter:
"Greensboro, N. ('.,
"Elmwood Knitting .Mills Co.,
40 .Main Street,
Buffalo. N. Y.
Attention E. Tipp, Manager.
Gentlemen:
"Your circular letter containing
'I-'onr Beautiful Neckties' came
duly to hand. Inasmuch as sever
al other necktie- approval houses
have sent me the same kind of
ties instead of just four-Jnhand
I now have sixteen in hand.
"I am holding them all for stor
age. I m. a great believer in 'sys
tem. It is the main-spring of suc
cess. Believe me,, my dear Mr. Tipp,
system Is the Stuph.
"The way I do 1h to hold the
neckties subject to order of the
sender, he being obliged to send a
man or a personal representative
to do the packing, nnd Tor a small
fee I deliver them to him. 1 al.so
charge a small fee for opening the
packages, und then charge ten
cents for each 24 hours they are
in my possession. That is the, regu
lar fee I lind'TStand they ehiM-L'e
i In large cities where they have
depots. My fee for opening a pack
1 ago for four 'beautiful neckties is
only 50 cents. That Is pretty
cheap but by doing my own wash
ing and Ironing I can afford it.
i Vou said to keep the ties five days
; and then send them back or send
you $1.50. The would make our
accojint stand as follows, namely:
"Opening packages, 5ii cents:
five days storage 50 cents; total
$1. By four neckties J 1.5m. j
"I take it that by the time thisi
reaches you and I get a reply an-
'other five days will have elapsed,
i which not counting the 50 cents fee
1 for delivering the package on your!
f order to your personal rcpresenta-j
tive, would make you owo me a
balance of 50 cents or one dollar, j
We will figure that out later.
"We have some stores here In
this town, home merchants, who '.
pay rent; who take an activo part '
. in our city's building: who respond j
: to call of charity and progress, and j
J I feel that all citizens should pat-'
j ronize thern always and for that j
: reason I do not indorse your ,
! scheme at all. Home one said 'A'
f sucker is born every minute' but j
(the neckties seem to come in fas-i
ter than that,
"You, my dear Mr. Tipp, can
readily understand that If I had
nothing to do tut receive neckties
and remit or them, especially
when I didn't want them and didn't
need them. I would be in one hell-
I uva fix. That M why I charge ior
! my services if I serve. If this Isn't
j satisfactory about the charges
I send your man down and get the
j ties.
j "I know you are a busy man.
j Mr. Tipp, but your expression of
I friendship in sending me the ties
! on approval makes me feel that Ip
i have found a true friend in you.
lo you know Mr. Montgomery!
'Ward? He lives In Chicago, lie
! does not send me the ties, but be
I ing a true friend or mine, also, he
; first doubtless heard of me and got
! my name he sends me a nice
catalogue every once in a while'
j with colored pictures in It. It is a
; great work.
j "Sometime I would like to visit
a big city and see the tall build
! ings. I may come and see you in
I mean one without a bath. I
could take a bath before I start
and save some expense.
"By the way, could you usi a
good 'coon dog?'
"Is there much static In Buffalo?
"1 o you know a good dandruff
cure? I feel that maybe I'm get
ting tho mange.
"Well, it Is getting late, so I
must close for this lime. Please
excuse haste and any bad-spelling,
as I have an in-growing toe-nail.

So that all may enjoy
healthful vegetables
Cook with sugar in only a little water
A GROUP of cooking experts recently made
extensive tests in New York on the correct
way of cooking vegetables. They made a dis
covery so simple and yet so far-reaching that
every woman interested in good foods should
know about it.
Iat JywwtHtiitHI vegetaoies were cooKea in various
ways. The various dishes were numbered.
y38f'5B! Tnen 'he experts tested them and voted. In
LiiiiiWI-agJEM every case the vegetables prepared with sugar
and little water won unanimously.
Try, for example, this delicious Cora Pudding. Use either
fresh or canned corn. To 2 cups of corn add 1 canned pimiento
and 1 small green pepper shredded, coarsely, '2 small grated
onion, 2 well-beaten eggs, 2 level tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon
of salt, V teaspoon of pepper and paprika, 2 tablespoons of flour,
1 teaspoon of baking powder and 1 cup of milk. Mix all ingre.
dicnts together, add 2 teaspoons of melted butter. Drain into a
well-buttered casserole and bake half an hour. Then remove
cover and delicately brown.
Try this new discovery every time you cook a vegetable. Note
how much more both children and adults like vegetables cooked
in this way because the added sugar develops and brings out all
the natural, tasteful flavors of the foods. Sugar restores the flavor
of freshness to vegetables that are wilted and to canned vege
tables. Add a dash or more of sugar, depending on quantity,
when cooking peas, lima beans, string beans, corn, carrots, beets,
parsnips, sweet potatoes, squash, onions and tomatoes. Good
food promotes good health. The Sugar Institute.
stead of using maintenance funds for that purpose and leav
ing too little available for such repair projects as this La
Grande-Kamela stretch. f new highways are to he built
as they obviously are during the period when bond, re
tirement and interest payments arc making heaviest demands
on highway revenue, it js not , good business- tjjse new
money for that new construction, retaining adequate funds
for maintenance of the roads we ulready have? The high
way commission thinks not, but we have a hunch their policy
results from fear of what may be done in the future to motor
liccnso fees and gas taxes rather than from other causes,
N0HMAL SCHOOL SCHOLARSHIP
The work of enrolling students in the Eastern Oregon
Normal school yesterday indicates a summer session of no
small proportions. There are students from various com
munities in this, section of the state, from far corners of
Oregon, and thero are numerous students from Idaho where
new requirements make normal school training much in de-
inano. ino scnooi nore meets uieir requirements in loca
tion and in course of study.
All of Eastern Oregon is pleased at this beginning. It
indicates how serious was the need for such an institution
to serve this area east of the Cascades. And it promises an
enrollment of ;!(p() to .'S50 when tho first full year is started
with the fall term.
But the size of the school is not the thing in which this
community or thi:t section is most interested. As The Ob-sei-ver
Ikls said previously, lt Grande values the normal as a
community unit because of its additional population and
wealth, but the city much prefers that the school be known
for its quality rather than its quantity. ;
The importance of education especially the importance
of educating teachers properly for service in our elementary
schools is receiving greater recognition each year in East
ern Oregon. The influence that a high standard of education
can have in the more rapid and permanent development fil)oa(ll of Child,
iiiu in; in mriiij iiiM l-l liui'll, IM1 11 IS 111 1110 quality 01
the new normal school's product, therefore, that this com
munity and the state as a whole will lake particular pride.
Institutions of higher education that insist on a high
slandaid of scholarship do not suffer from over-popularity,
perhaps, among young people who want an easy and good
time at school. Hut those institutions built on a firm founda
tion and by their demands for scholastic excellence render
A far greater and more permanent service to the state.
Normal school graduates that are in poor demand among
the schools of the slate are a poor state investment. Those
that are well trained and aii held at a premium either in
school work or in other activities will win well deserved sup
port nnd growth for the institution from which they ar
graduated. It in that variety of product which this commun
ity and the new normal faculty anticipates here. Every, co
operation and encouragement within the power of l.a Grande
people is awaiting a student body with that ideal.
