Had luck is usually cussed for bad luck, while pond luck ia

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.

tin axe to grind, that the residents
think theirs i the essence of per

get so cock-sure of themselves that
they are blind as a bat to every
body's Imperfections but their own.

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

, 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.
