The two principal causes of divorce are niioii and women. i' If you want a man to growl at you treat him; like a dog. Women who marry to become pets usually lead a dog's life. It's hardest to get out of lied spring. Better examine your wagon to a star. With the mercury dropping down into colder zones, and with the ground covered with' a light fall of snow, La Granders felt more "at hone" today. In spile of the keen pleasure in open winters, after all it is the usual kind that stores up moisture for the coming year's crops. ; FOB FOR LAZINESS Envy is a quality that, according to uliivcrsal belief, turns people green and therefore is to be avoided. It is defined, fur ther, as a selfish and unfriendly grudging in view of what another enjoys. Now the cure for envy is simple. ' It merely requires that the people who enjoy things would share them, with the envious. The only trouble with this solution is that it is extremely inconvenient for those who are possessed of this world's goods. When it conies to distributing their wealth, lending the motor car or offering to pay all the expenses of an ocean voyage, those who have things experience a sensa tion not altogether free from selfish and unfriendly grudg ing. They are, then,' no better tiff spiritually than the envious. And so envy becomes an impelling force making for such ideal qualities as thrift energy, ambition, efficiency and progress. If there were no envy there would be no mass pro duction, no high-powered salesmanship, fewer savings banks and similar concrete examples of our great civilization. . It is not surprising that in their enthusiasm the envious should make themselves extremely objectionable to those who already possess things and wish to enjoy them in peace and tranquility. In fact, the only envy that deserves condemna tion is the diluted kind that is too weak to make men strive. A man without envy may be a saint. J!ut the chances are that he is much less saintly than lazy. CHURCH HOLDS ANNUAL MEETINC HERE ON SUNDAY (Continued from rage Ono) Tim annual parish meeting of the. SI.

The Town Doctor (The Doctor of Towns) Says TO 31 It. A VII MltS, AVKHAOK rn,i: oi1 ua ;ilmh; fltegardleHH of what 1 think, Ir respective of your opinion, there Ik IndlHputablo proof that no Indi vidual, business. Industry or com munity over got any place doing tho same old thing In tho same old way. Wo arc all humans, subject to our own peculiarities. Wo object to change, and most of us detent preaching and dislike being told; yet every ono of us wishes to he healthy, wealthy and wise. We all get in a rut more or less, and true It Is that the, only difference be tween a rut and the gruve Is the depth; and the longer we stay In a rut tho deeper It gets. How read ily we discard the old and accept tho proven new depends on how deep we have sunk. Ureal educators have said that tho most difficult undertaking to day is to get tho people lo think ono goon so far as to say that of every I nil persons, two of them do all tho thinking for the other !ifi. Mayho thaf's right, HPT I main tain that you and I will do our, shorn if we aro shown and given a reason why we should think, espe- i rially about that which affects our fun and our pocketbooks. i In sixteen years experienco I i have found that you are always willing to listen; and although you; do not always net, I lay that to the fact that you luivo not been given Ilia proper Incentive. H Is my fur ther belief that you are willing to think about La Orande and willing j to do something lor La Orande if! you niv given good and sufficient! proo that doing either or both will put money In your pocket. I Yon and f all of us have been I told by civic groups and through the columns of the papers we read, hundreds of tim.es, that we should do thif, and we shouldn't do some thing else, all for the vague reason that its good for the community. Hut If 1 know you and know my own reactions to such, you are not "sold" on the Idea that lis lo your particular advantage always to practico what, they preach. You cannot be sold on anything that you know- nothing ubout the only woy to know about anything Ik to think about It. A. cow in a pasluro gazes at a speeding rail road train, but does not really see it; the alarm clock rings In the morning, buL the house cat goes on sleeping; a crawfish feels and a. hilly goat smells, but because they j never think about It. It doesn't mean anything. If you could ask tl i they'd tell you that thev did not see why they should be any dif- fcrent. Jf you have never got down brass lacks and tried to think out where vou'd get anvthlmr out of taking an actlvo part In common- Ity affairs, you don't know wheth-! er or not them l itiivihiii.- fn if for you If you have never offered lo do anything along with cither fellows, you don't know whether you'd even get a kick out or It. The only way to find out Is to try. You don't have to be olio of the. big toads In the puddle in 0rdci to "do so moth fug.' 11 isn't all ways money that counts, nor are days of time away from work nec essary. The big tiling Is to get right mentally. Think about La Grande as a business your busi-ip-hm. Don't holler about it, just think about it as you go along do ing whatever you do to make a liv ing. Tho fellow who never trys. never knows; and he is the fellow whit misses the real fun and the good things of life. Try thinking about R ramie. Copyright, man, A. I. Stone.

If you and other people did not need to borrow money occasionally there would be no use for our present banks. Practically everybody who is ambitious for them selves and their families borrow money at times. The borrowed money is used to protect the property they already have, to help them acquire more property or to make a profit. The head of a family may borrow to pay doctor and hospital bills, for example, as a means of protecting his credit and his property and his standing in the community which is vital to fin ancial success. He may borrow to pay a life insurance premium as a protection to his estate. He may borrow to help buy bonds as a means of increasing his estate. He may borrow for hundreds of reasons as legitimate means of protecting his interests and furthering them. Making legitimate loans on a sound basis is a vital part of our business. It is part of our service to advise you when loans are being considered. We are always glad to talk over these problems with you in a friend ly, helpful way. FAJLK'S Successors to N.K. WEST & CO.
