"Our girl's don't know how to love," writes an American siiijrer. I5ut they are practicing. The editor of the Oregon City Enterprise writes of the ! quiet charm of the Union hotel. It is worth writing about ; itiid is an institution of which many cities of larger size t would like to boast. Until the two beautiful new hotels were built in La Grande the Union Hotel was a pleasant resort for j many local people. It is admirably adapted for special parties ( and always gave La Grande visitors excellent treatment. It is the community center in Union and while it may not be a financial success it is most certainly n community success. C. C. Gignoux, agriculture supervisor for the Union Pad-' fic in the Northwest, is quoted as saying that he has never seen farming conditions better than they are this year. There are many things to hear out his view. Over a million dollars more from agricultural' products will be realized in this valley this year than.Jji.U028. Winter wheat returns lire very satisfactory spring grain is yielding more than the average; some farmers say they got more alfalfa the: first cutting this year than In the whole crop last year. Apples are very promising, with the price hear the high level '. of two years ago. All of which indicates more active business this fall than for several years. j PUODUCKKS Economists in this country have long predicted and feared n time when the social system must partly collapse because of the inability of producers to supply themselves and the non-producers with the essentials of. life. I loth predictions f.nd fears are based on the increasing numbers of occupations Which deal with commodities after they are produced and a decline in the proportion of the actual producers. Farmers, miners and mill workers are the three general classifications of actual producers. They produce food, fuel, minerals and manufactured products. Though greatly out numbered, they must produce enough to supply the wants of society. They are increasing in numbers, but not as rapidly as are those engaged in the transportation and marketing of their products. The army of professional men, office work ers, store employes and those engaged in transportation multiplies daily. It is estimated that in the last 1M years workers engaged in distribution increased 10 times as fast as those directly employed in production. The situation might give some cause for concern if it were not known that the immutable law of supply and demand applies to labor as well as to commodities. If then- bad not been a demand for distribution agencies there would not have been an increase in these agencies. No factory or office em ploys more workers than its business requires (with the possible exception of public olfices). When more labor is needed in the fields of production it will be forthcoming in requisite quantities. When it is remembered that the population of the United States has increased many millions in the last two decades and that improved methods of farming, mining and manu facturing have increased the production with less labor, an explanation is found for the growing army of non-producers.

Wl II-N you look brnrath the hood and study tlie engine of the new Ford, you will begin to understand how carefully this car is made, and see something, too, of the enduring qual ity that has been built into every part. Even if you know but little about the in side of an automobile and do not want to bother with mechanical details, you will sense the value of this care and this quality and realize that it means a great deal to you in the performance of the car. As an engineer or technical man, you will marvel at the simplicity of design of the new Ford and spend long hours in studying the 'It many improvements embodied in its construction. In the homely, yet expressive words of the man in the shop when he pays his high est tribute to a fine piece of machinery: is a sweet mechanical job. There is no better Illustration of the care with which the new Ford is built than the close limits of measurement maintained in manufacturing. In the new Ford, for instance, the diam eter of the piston pin is held within throe ten-thousr.n(tilis (.0003) of an inch. An equally close limit is followed in the diameter The engine of tht new Ford rmhodlet nmiy new mechanical fetlHrei. Became of itt carefully flume J 'implicit v, it gitet unuiuul tccelertliun, smtntllmes, speed and .er without sacrifice , of economy and reliability. of the hole into which the piston pin is fitted. Tho weight of the aiuminum alloy pistons is set at MVg, ounces. No piston is permitted to come under this weight and it must not exceed this weight by more than 2 grams. In the piston assemblies, consisting of piston, connecting rod, pin and spring re tainer, the four assemblies in each motor must match in weight within a limit of 3 grams. This means that every piston as sembly must meet the weight of each of the other assemblies in the set within ap proximately l's of an ounce. The dynamic balance, which insures equal distribution of weight in the throws of the crankshaft, is held within 4 grams. Main and connecting rod bearings on the crankshaft are held within .0003 of an inch. It is, of course, almost beyond imagina tion to conceive of measurements as close as these. They are achieved only through the use of the finest precision gages in the hands of expert workmen. These gages are set by Johansson master gage blocks which are accurate to one-millionth of an inch. . Make it a point, therefore, to see the new Ford and arrange for a demonstration. Only when you get behind the wheel can you fully appreciate the alert speed, acceleration, safety and comfort of this great new car. PERKINS MOTOR CO Phone .1 ')()() -- La Grande, Ore.
