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.

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.

The legitimate use of credit is the foundation of all
business and finance. 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.
