Lowucn ci If the American farmer could take the tuns of 'advice ho ias been receiving and use it for fertilizer, maybe a good jj portion of his problem would be solved. fi ; The Oregonian lias been very kind about listing the seven wonders of Portland's neighbors, Seattle and Tacoma. Soon we anticipate a consolidated list which should certainly in iv elude the following: 1 Mt. Rainier, 2 Ml. Tacoma, 3 Mt. Rainier National Park, 4 Paradise Valley on Alt. Ta !,; coma, 5 What Tacoma thinks of Seattle, 6 What Seattle thinks of Portland, and 7 What Seattle thinks of Seattle. j, If Mr. Nuener accepts a special job with the attorney gen- eral at Washington, it means the eliminatioiof one more possible candidate for governor on the republican ticket next i year. Even the most optimistic can not see any real chance of beating Patterson, either in the primaries or the election. . lie has made a few enemies as all governors do, but he has ' gained a tremendous following at the same time. If ho makes " the race, as is confidently predicted, there is little doubt or his being governor the second term. il 4 i - .1 I- - l 'l M Mt . " With two carnivals in one season, not to mention numer- ous tent shows, we hope La Grande people get their fill of :. having outside amusements come in and carry a lot of good 'money aw'ay. The idea that a carnival is the happy solution for some financially embarassed organization, with general benefits to all concerned, is about as ridiculous as anything can be. After the carnival this spring business men ex- V pressed their opposition in no uncertain terms. Now yc arc j to have a repetition sec thousands of dollars removed for j the sake of a few hundred under the guise of a "benefit." i If there is any way to make the cost of carnivals coming to La Grande prohibitive, we are for it. j " ' i SOMTL'OK jj Out of human companionship a man gains strength and j faith and hope for the task he chooses. Yet the task remains his own, and its burden he cannot share. There is comfort in companionship and incentive in the applause and encouiv agemeiit of his fellows, but the measure of greatness in a ' man is his ability to walk alone in the path of his destiny.

This qucslion is being earnestly studied by many of the fore most economists of the lime. There is the problem of Ihe slable me-eiere of value into which out sclmlars are delving ileeplv now. It would he hard lo ovcrestnnnlc the ills Iress and injustice Mint have come in llie past be.-ause of our inability li find nn.l ngree upon an unchanging standard of value. There are Ihnsi who predict lhat wlten we have discovered n stable measure of value, thr present standard will be regarded with as much disdain us we now look upon wampum the earlv standard of our I'ohmtal days. If society were perfectly articulated, why should Ihere ever be an nlh man whu wished lo work? There is soon somewhere who would like to have the product of the idle man's labor in return for something he hiin-ell can produce lull does md now produce.

Fur il has Had the effect of bringing many arlielcs down from the r -g-on of luxury I-Ill-it of iMi-cssity in any practical scheme of living. To illustrate: the auto mobile a few years ago was n luxury en.oyi-. only by eoioparatttely few Now it has been o chcai'cucd lhat a w-ry sulHlenlial portion of oil! people ride in automobiles. This has changed Ihe whole structure of soei etv, both in the country and iu town.

For society itas been so transformed by the use of the autoutO' bile thill one who docs 'not pos.cs an uuloniobilc is marooned in the. cunt iinirittv iu which he lives.

In many ways he pei-soi lilies high aim and achievement, and in this also that his iniinose and power were compassed in his own heart and hands. Great men through history have done no less; they have wilh- drawn within themselves lo find strength anil resource, have j planned their courses unaided and achieved their goals alone. : It is said of Lincoln that he was a lonely man despite his i love and .sympathy for those he worked wilh and for. The wisdom of Socrates, the stem integrity of lirutus, the de voted martyrdom of Tyndale and every service or sacrifice f'" o the cause of humanity have been wrought out of the essen tial stuff of a lonely human mind. Vet this inevitable isola tion is no sotT'owhil burden; il. is part of the image and likeness into which man is created. Something of divinity is mirrored in it, and into it is poured from above and within a t.trcain of power for groat purpose, clear sight and high achievement. Something of this solitude is in every man. II is the stuff of which individuality, personality and responsibility are made. He who can face it unafraid measures up to full slafure of a man. 31 Tl I.M.Y riMM.U Ms Tin- A mmtIcm n Hi (iKtli'iisltntt ( uiii psiny pi nuniiM lor TiU'Stl.-iy nii;ht fnllmvs: S.

The lti'indl Stnre La Grande, Ore, Ft Lots of husbands in La Grande take pride in the fact that they have regulated thier job or their business so that a day's work and a clay's income is produced within eight hours. Lut think of the wives of these husbands has their work been placed on the same schedule so that their share of the family burden can lie carried in the span of eight hours each day? The men of the house can come home after working a third of the day and they are free to spend another third in puttering around the. yard, fixing up the car, reading a good story, playing a game of solitaire, going fishing or getting in nine holes of golf. I 't it's often a different story witli the housewife. She should be able to do the housework in eight hours to be. on the same plane und have the same leisure time for her flower gar den, comradship with her children, friendliness with her neigh Dors, a normal amount of recreation. Few of them have time usually because they have to do their work in old-fashioned, drudgery ways while their husbands do theirs with the assistance of modern machinery and labor-saving office equipment. It's not a question of money but of planning. Electrical en ergy is so inexpensive that any comparison of old methods with electrical methods shows how thrifty it is to do the washing, iron ing, cooking, cleaning, etc., with the help of electricity. The effic ient, well-regulated home is happier, healthier, less expensive al- . .. I MC . Mlf. . tt'iO, wavs. Eastern Oregon Light & Power Company "The Electric Way Is the Thrifty Way"
