f Olrl Worker's Story
t'Por Instance, this correspondent
Recently met a girl of 18. 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. They do not roallze the
trend In world affairs, ; But I am
'more or less educated, and I am en
abled to grasp the trend of affairs.
When does tho revolution start In
'America?"
f Old Are Tolerated
J This girl told the story of modern
iyoutb In the XJ. 8. S. R. ' Most of
them have been trained to be for tho
Shew system. The oldsters are toler
'uted, but watched closely. The
youngsters are given a luslllado of
propaganda which most of them do
ot resist. - . - -
In other , words, the communist
'government hopes to win by the
.children. . When one considers there
re some 10,000,000 comsomols (mem
Ihers of the ComrnunlBt Youth league)
Jthe government's Idea becomes obvl
.ous. 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.

An Open Letter to the People of La Grande and Union County.
. 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.

f. o. b. Toledo, O.

a strictly stock Willys Six Roadster,
' sweeps dramatically to five amazing
new speed records for American
stock cars in its class one mile,
flying start, 50.925 seconds, average
70.692 miles an hour; standing start,
61.56 seconds, average 58.479 miles
an hour; one kilo, flying start, 32.225

average 53.045 miles an hour; one

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. In
thcJast Pike's Peak race two stock
Willys Six Roadsters won first and
second places. The winning time of
24 minutes, 18-15 seconds is the
fastest on record for a stock car
under $1000. These records are
convincing evidence that the Willys
Six is the fastest, liveliest and most
powerful of all low-priced cars. '
