PROSPERITY IS RAMPANT TOM RICHARDSON BACK EASTERN OREGON, FROM Wealth of District Declared Astound ing Address Blade at Walla " Walla High School.

Mr. Richardson went to Walla Walla to address the high school students and to talk be fore the Walla Walla Commercial Club KIDNEYS NEVER CAUSE BACKACHE Rub Pain, Soreness and Stiff ness Right Out With "St. Jaeobs Oil." Kidneys cause backache? No! They have no nerves, therefore cannot cause pain. Listen 1 Tour backache is caused by lumbago, sciatica or a Btrain, and the quickest relief is soothing, penetrating "St. Jacobs Oil." Rub it right on the ache or tender spot, and instantly the pain, soreness, stiffness and lameness disappears. Don't stay , crippled! Get a small trial bottle of "St. Jacobs Oil" from your druggist and limber up. A moment after it is applied you'll wonder what became of the backache, sciatica or lumbago pain. "St. Jacobs Oil" stops any pain at once. It is harmless and doesn't burn or dis color the skin. It's the only application to rub on a weak, lame or painful back, or for lum bago, sciatica, neuralgia, rheumatism, sprains or a strain. Adv. at a banquet held to launch a new membership campaign. Speaking before the Walla Walla High School students in- the largo auditorium that seats 700, Mr. Rich ardson related the story of the tremendous wealth of. the United States and told in particular of the great resources of the Pacific North west. "One man In the Walla Walla country still has 250.000 bushels of wheat for sale," said Mr. Richardson yesterday. I found that the average ' farm in that locality is S60 acres in area. "The farmers in the Pendleton and Walla Walla country are so busy making money that they hardly have time to think of anything else. I am Informed that the deposits in the two Pendleton banHs total $5,500,000 making this "big little' city second to Port' land in the matter of bank deposits in Oregon.
