She spoke English, German, French and was Voi king at a Job which paid her the .unusually high salary of 200 roubles japproxlmatoly 100) per month. she was the daughter of a former czarlst engineer. Her family was of the intelligence. She had very faint Memories of the prerevolution days. "But I am now for the commun ists." she said. "My father Is still an engineer, but he Is of the old re gime, and he has his prejudices. But 1 have been brought up under the bolshevik system, and my sympathies (ire entirely with the new govern- fent. "My father and mother are entirely '(put of date.

For one thing, children In Russia faro the best treated of all the popu-jjatlon. The communistic tendency Is to do away with the family system. The rearing of children, eventually, Is supposed to be a state affair. Accordingly any family that doesn't feed and clothe Its children properly Is supposed to lose their offspring. And they do frequently. EAST SIDE MARKET CHICAGO WHEAT Open Ulcn Low nose June 67 . .ei .6854 .67 July eoH .0'4 -S8H MA 8ept - .9Stt , -604 .58 Mft& , Dec. i3ji9 jg -U3j4W ' ' POBTLANll WHEAT '.

Likely nt no other time in the history of the people of La Grande does the matter of their financial diffi . culties come strikingly nt them than at the present time, and the general cry is, WHAT SHALL WE DO? We call your attention to the fact that after all, speed in business depends largely on not stumbling. No . business can live and endure to the end unless profits are sufficient to permit them to continue in business. No financial institution can promise and do the things beyond its ability to pay. No institution can promise great returns and high rates of interest unless their income is sufficient to justify their payments, any more than the .. nverchant can' sell his goods below his cost price and still endure to the end. After all, wo again call your attention to the fact, that, in our opinion, the best and most reliable place to invest your savings and monthly payments is in the SAVINGS DEPARTMENT of this bank. We offer you the protection of a government supervised National Bank, and a bank that has stood the test for a period of oyer twenty-two years. Nob here today with a "Bang" and gone tomorrow with a "Crash." We offer you tho privilege of making deposits of any amount and at any time, and we have granted with drawal on a moment's notice. The rata of interest wo pay is 4 and, according to times and conditions, is as - great as can be expected for a sound investment, and is in keeping; with standard conservative and legitimate principles, and we believe that our conditions will always permit prompt and satisfactory returns for your investment. ' Our Directors are men of the highest abjlity and proven integrity, and whom you all know. They ajp men of this City, and this County, home owners and tax payers, business and professional men, who have served the community for years and intend to serve for years to come. Men who have confidence in their own efforts and accomplishments and who have faith in La Grande and her people. Men who are not speculators nor pro moters of speculative enterprises. Wc ask you to consider this matter seriously and keep in mind that we are here to serve you and to live and prosper with you. This Bank is Depository for U. S.

The gear ratio used in these record-breaking runs was 4.6 to 1. GETTINGS Jefferson These recordscontinue the long string of remarkable performance achievements of the Willys Six, which include winning first and second places in the annual mountain race from Mexico City to Puebla. Pitted against a field comprised mostly of eight-cylinder cars, the Winning Willys Six covered the course of 75.8 miles in 75 minutes. The record for the steep Mount Baldy climb is also held by a stock Willys Six, which clipped 38-35 seconds off the former .record.
