Time contract prices on application In Washington By Herbert Plummer WASHINGTON Apparently Presl dent Hoover and one of bis chief po litical lieutenants think a bit differ ently about this question of the pa trlotlc impulses of those gentlemen working to bring relief to the country. Consider, for example, the night tnat the president received the bill authorizing the creation of the two- billion dollar reconstruction finance corporation. It was a big moment for him when he affixed his signature making It a law. The short statement he Issued to the press, announcing the fact that he had signed the bill, con tained a rather remarkable sentence "I wish to pay tribute," said the president, "to the patriotism of the men In both houses of congress who have given proof of their devotion to the welfare of the country, lrrespcc tlve of political affiliation." : The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance; against such there is no law.

William) Wrigley, multi-millionaire gum manufac turer, who recently passed away ft't the age' of 70, owed his success to advertising. He sold more gum. than his predeces sors and competitors, not so much because it was a better gunl but because his' was a better advertising campaign.

He was In the state service from 1911 to 1016 as state superintendent or elections, having been appointed by Governor John A. Dix. Returning as a member of the New York City board of elections In 1918, ho was again chosen chairman of the board and continued In that position there-. after. Born at Pompton Plains, N. J., July 27, 1829, Mr. Voorhls had lived in New York City since childhood. Fi nancial pressure cut short his school days when he was 13 and he went to work in the law office of John Jay at $1 a week. Later he was ap prenticed to a carpenter, became a Journeyman at 31, and afterwards a contractor, continuing In that busi ness somo time after he ontered poll tics. In August, 1850, Mr. Voorhls mar ried Miss Lucinda Leffcrts of New York. They had three Bons and two daughters. Mrs. Voorhls died In 1907. Associates of Mr. Voorhls attested to his keen mentality and the brisk ness with which he executed his work oven when he was nearlng tha cen tury -mark. "He's a wonder," ..a co worker said. "He can put his finger on anything in his desk, -day or -night, on a minute's notice." Asked In his ODth year when he ex pected to retire, Mr. Voorhls an nounced that he had "no expectation or retiring." Ho seldom took time off from his duties, being -a firm believer in work for keeping a man fit. He attributed his long life to his un ceasing activity and the fact that he "always had a good time" as he went along.

A lady, returning from Union to La Grande in her car Wednesday night about 7 o'clock during a terrible wind and blinding hurricane or snow was blown with terrific force com pletely off the highway Into the ditch about a mile from La Grande. To her complete surprise, she found that -her car was submerged fender! deep in snow, and decided there was nothing to do but try to walk to La Grande. ' v ( Two mighty, gallant men, members of the state highway force, driving to North Powder, picked up the lady not far from her car with the words "Indeed you will not walk on a night like this while we are in sight," and' brought her safely home, accepting nothing but the lady's thanks. Hours later the lady and her hus band returned to the scene ready for action. Many cars stopped and of fered help, but a mighty truck, with another gallant driver, pulled the car onto the highway and under its own power the stalled car sped mer rily home spilling chunks of snow along the way. The lady and, her husband hope the gallant men will read this and know again how much their kindness is appreciated. Chivalry, gallantry? Yes, .heaps In La Grande!
