SELF-SEEKERS EXPOSED Beware of false prophets, which come, to you in sheep's clothing, but Inwardly they ure riven 'np wolves. 'e shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:15. lfi. ' - rrr " The Oregon, Voter, commenting on suggestions for the ex penditure ofjhe state's $25,000 advertising fund, says it should all bo:; spent outside. Right. It is neither good business nor good politics to spend part of it in Oregon newspapers to "sell Oregon to Oregonians." Oregon news papers want none of the money. Most of them are busy sell ing Oregon to its present citizens day after day without direct compensation. Most of them would be willing to donate space for these advertisements to be published in outside publications just for the good of the cause. The Observer certainly would. In any event, every dollar in this fund should go outside. Spent carefully, every dollar will return many fold. NO ONE ABLE TO SUCCEED EDISON So Says Wilbur Huston, Western Youth Who won National Competition. WEST ORANGE. N. J., Auff. .'I, (AP) Selected from anions the youth of the nation as the protege of Thomas A. Edison, 16-year-old Wilbur li. Huston has no llluslona he ever will be as great a man aa the famous inventor. Displaying great modesty after announcement of his winning the Edison scholarship, he said: "I wish to correct the erroneous Impression that anyone can be se lected aa successor to Thomas A. Edison. 1 am not foolish enough to think I ever can be aa great as he is." The son of Bishop S. Arthur Huston of the Episcopal diocese of Olympia, Wash., made a mark of 92 in the searching Edison ques tionnaire to which the 49 compet ing youths werej subjected. He waa the lust to finish. Ho retained his modest and am iable bearing In the fact of a bar rage of qucations from newspaper men. He has never been a Boy Scout, or a member of the Y.M.C.A. he told them. His hobby is collecting specimens of marine biology. H was on the fencing team of Lake side school at Seattle, Ho has never smoked. His favorite read ing ia biography. Ho was revealed by the ques tionnaire as one who would sac rifice comfort for success, but not honor, health, happiness, love, riches nor reputation. He thinks a lie permissible "In case of serious trouble, pain and grief, and you do not benefit your self in any way." As to the future of the automo bile he believes it wilt become subordinate- to the airplane as a in cans of transportation, to be used only for short distances. He predicted the electrification of alrplan''H. "Are you surprised that, you won." he was asked. "Very much so," was the reply. NEW JOB FOR AMOS 'N' ANDY GIVES THEM PLACE ON CHAIN Charles J.

Aft WARM WEATHER QUITS GOTHAM; MERCURY DOWN A FARMER'S WIFE DISCUSSES PARKING One of the best editorials to appear in The Observer in many a moon ia published on the front nairo of today's issue. It is written by the wife of a prominent farmer in the valley ' and hits the parking problem in La Grande squarely on the head. We have discussed this same question on several, occasions but,..iaiking spaces have, become fewer. Now! conies this 'lettci' iutWi-rTrtr"nrobtem 'un to (?JrV-bfficfls"'i the chamber of commerce and the community as a whole in no uncertain terms. ; All business men want ample parking: space available at nil times for shoppers from the valley and outside commun ities. Shoppers want it, as this letter strongly implies. How is it to be provided ? Getting rid of the continuous parking of town cars in the business district particularly those owned by business men smd their employes can be accomplished in two ways. First, by strict enforcement of the one-hour parking ordinance now in existence but not enforced. And, second, by the circula tion of a written pledge among business and professional men and their employes to the effect that they will not park cars on Adams avenue and Depot streets, for example, in the business district, that they will use less important side streets for all-day parking and co-operate fully in providing parking; facilities for visitors from the valley and outside communities. Both of these remedies could well be undertaken at once. The first will educate the stray motorist who wants free storage on an important business street and will jog the memory of the forgetful business man. The second will mr.ke sufficient parking space quickly available and will make nforcement of the hour limit easy. City authorities should undertake the first, chamber of commerce officials the sec end. With both in action such a letter as this from a farmer's iie will be unnecessary in the future. The writer of this letter is justified in her criticism of the five minute parking limit in our present loadng zones. Five nl iutes is long enough to load purchases made on a shop- n.T tour but not long enough to make the purchases and 'o d them. An extension of time for the loading zones and ao more careful consideration of no-parking or limited leaking permits for Adams avenue might well be given con sideration. An additional courtesy to out-of-town shoppers is shown in some cities in the middle west by identification of outside cars, the city oidinanco providing that these cars may be paiked without regard to parking limits. This might be undertaken in I.a Grande by issuing special stickers to car owners residing outside of the city and identifying them as exempt from parking restrictions (luring shopping visits in the business district. Ilogardless of what remedy is deemed best, the paiking problem in La Grande needs action. It needs action now. It will not solve itseh and we are confident tnal the people of the city are ii.terested enough in correcting the evil to lend hearty co-operation. NKW VOIIK. Auk. 6.

When you arc sick, you ask your doctor what's the matter and what to do to get well. You don't take chances with your health by poing to the ding store and trusting to your own knowledge of medicine for a cure. Because of his experience and training, your doctor is tatter equipped to give the right advice and by the same token your banker is better equipped to give you correct advice when you have an investment problem. Ask him! His advice is free his friendly counsel is always at your service.
