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.

" 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.

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.

- ' Are business cycles, which result at- limes iu so much human d s'ress

There is the problem of Ihe slable me-eiere of value into which out

who predict lhat wlten we have discovered n stable measure of value, thr

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

A NEW LINK IN

the store here at La Grande is a further link
in the chain of progress. As the successors to
N. K. West & Co., the new Falk store will carry
on (he policies which won the N. K. West & Co.
such universal popularity in this section. And
in addition, the store will have better facilities
for service because it has become a part of the
Falk organization.
.New fall merchandise, all selected with care, by
our La Grande buyers, is arriving daily and we
feel sure it will meet with your approval. May
we invite your inspection.

not alone lor his deed but for the splendid isolation of his
performance of it. 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.

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-
