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. Gal. 5: 22, 23.
MILLIONS FROM ADVERTISING
Some men owe their success to an idea, or to organizing
ability, or to a fortunate break, or to daring, or to untiring
effort. . 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.
Although Mr. Wrigloy was a mamrfacturer, it would be
mrii'G accurate to" sav that his was a career o'f a'dveHisincr.

He was In the state service from
1911 to 1016 as state superintendent
or elections, having been appointed
by Governor John A. Dix. Returning

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.
In hlB later years he formed the

because she was thought to be In

Chivalry, gallantry In La Grande?
Yeo, heaps of it.
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! ' .-
