If you are in favor of a square deal for the country
East of the Cascades you will vote for and work for
THE PROPOSED EASTERN OREGON STATE
NORMAL SCHOOL AT PENDLETON, OREGON.
Oregon has but one Normal School. This school is
located at Monmouth and is not able to supply
more than TEN PER CENT of the teachers re
quired in the public schools of Oregon. Of the
more than six thousand teachers In our public
schools, BUT 13 PER CENT are graduates of Nor
mal Schools. It is a matter of simple Justice to the
country East of the Cascades to establish a Normal
School East of the mountains to furnish thoroughly
trained teachers for the schools of Eastern Oregon.
TRAINED INSTRUCTORS WANTED
Every resident of Eastern Oregon has a vital In
terest in the passage of thia measure tor Eastern
Oregon pays HIGH SALARIES to her teachers and is
entitled to the services of TRAINED INSTRUCTORS.
ONLY COSTS 4 CENTS PER $1,000
The annual cost of maintenance of the proposed
State Normal School amounts to BUT ONE 26TH
OF A MILL OR t CENTS ON A TH0U8AND DOL
LARS of taxable property. Isn't it worth this to
you to have your children trained to become USE
FUL AND PRODUCTIVE citizens?
STRONG ENDORSEMENT
J. A. Churchill, the State Superintendent of Public
Instruction, voices the sentiment of the educators of
the state when be says:
"Oregon's greatest need for its rural schools Is the
teacher who has had full preparation to do her work.
Such preparation can best come through Normal
School training.
"I trust that the voters of the state will assist In
raising the standard of our schools by establishing
a State Normal School at Pendleton. The location
Is central, the interest of the people of Pendleton in
education most excellent, and the large number of
pun:!:: in '.''e public schools will give ample oppor-
tunity to all students to get the amount of teaching
practice required in a standard normal school."
The odwr.l.irs of the State insist that Standard
Normal Schools be located In townR of 5000 popula
tion or rno-e and having ENOUGH GRADE PUPILS
FOR TL CHER PRACTICE.
BE LOYAL AND VOTE RIGHT
Show your loyalty to the best interests of Eastern
Oregon and of the whole state by working for this
measure and by voting YES FOR NO. SOS. By vot
ing YES for No. 308 you will help to GIVE TO THE
SCHOOL CHILDREN OF OREGON THE SAME .

MAINE POINTS THE WAY.
There has long been a saying and
it has ofttimes proven true, that,
"As Maine goes, so goes the
nation," in political matters. As a
result the G. 0. P. leaders are jubi
lant over the election held there
on Monday, and democrats are like
wise somewhat downcast. It is a
fact that the saying has been true
to a remarkable degree in the past
and as there is nothing more definite
to point the way the result of the
election in the Pine Tree state
without doubt has its bearing on
the national election. One lesson
that is demonstrated by Monday's
election is that the Progressive
party no longer exists in that state ,
at least, and that their numbers!
are all back where they came from, ;
in' the ranks of the Republican
party.
November 7 will show whether:
1916 is an exception to the rule
with Maine. Democrats believe it
will be while Republicans say not.

INSIDE INFORMATION.
At the state penitentiary at
Salem there is published each
month a little magazine, which is I
edited by prisoner number 6494,
just now. j
It s a good little publication,
better than thousands that are
printed on the "outside" ani has
far more sunshine and sound logic
per page than the average publica
tion of whatever sort.
Its editorials are good and usual
ly to the point. One of them that
is timely and on a very important
topic follows:
No reasonable person will dny
that crime in the State of Oregon
has decreased very materially since
the dry law went into effect. fliat
this is so is not surprising. Wher
ever prohibition has been enacted
the same conditions have prevailed.
Summed up the fact is this: Re
corded crime'in this State has de
creased 36 per cent since the ban
ishment of the saloon. That is em
phatic proof that the social and
moral conditions of the state have
profited by the elimination of the
barroom.
Charitable institutions show a de
cided decrease in destitution and
want among the families of labor
ers, due to the fact that jobs are
held better by the bread winners
and the wages now go to support
the families instead of the saloons.
Families on the verge of starvation
during the liquor regime are now
well fed and well clothed, and well
housed; the standard of living has
risen among the laboring classes
and the children are getting more
attention, more opportunity to get
a proper start in life.
Banks report an almost unbeliev
able increase of savings amung the
wage earners and stores are experi
encing little difficulty in collections.
Thousands of men, women and
children in the State of Oregon are
better off since the saloon was
voted out. ' Ask the families of any
of the men who spent their wages
over the saloon bar and they will
tell you how much more happy
and properous they are.
Lessening of crime, better moral
conditions and increased prosperi
ty within the boundaries of this
state are the logical results of
saloon prohibition.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
we have a network of nerves, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol,
