ALWAYS OJi THE JOB COUIlt the Cost
. That is the thought .behind this-Dental Office. It is a
frxed policy, carefully thought out, to furnish-the public the
very finest dental work at a price within the reach of everyone.. .
The law of cost enters into dentistryUhe same as every 'S.
other "business," and no business that overlooks that-law
can prosper, nor can it give good service.
Good dentistry,' of course, is the only kind worth buying;',
yet good dentists who make their charges prohibitive are re
sponsible for driving lots of people to poor dentists, a fact
which is daily demonstrated in examining the mouths of
people who have had work done elsewhere because it was
"cheap, and finally come here, where they are sure of the'
best and equally sure of reasonable charges.
A large dental office like this, with years of successful ex
perience, fully equipped with all modern facilities for doing
good work, maintaining a complete laboratory, and a staff of
competent operators; run on a business system that elimi
nates all waste; of time and material, certainly can and certain-"
ly does effect a saving to every patient worth considering.
Then, too, all work done in this office is guaranteed.; It
is as much to bur interest as to yours to see that no .patient '
leaves this office dissatisfied. A careful and thorough ex
amination of your teeth, with complete estimate and frank"
advice is, a service we render without charge.
You need not feel under. any obligation in asking for ex
amination and estimate, nor will you be urged to have your '
work done here. ! M : , :

a , campus song at the Oregon Agricul
tural college. The words are by Edwin
T.- Reed, college editor, and the music
by Neil Reed. It is published by the

meet with a big demand outside of the
particular institution to which it Is par
ticularly dedicated. Written lnf the key
of C in 2-4 time and ranging from E
to F, It is most singable and ) easily
memorized. It has a splendid rhythm,
with just enough syncopation to give it
the "sincere social atmosphere typical of
coeducation," as the writer of the words
explains. "It is a litUe lyric of honest
heart throbs set to a one-step melody
that falls readily from the lips of col

It is bound to become popular.!

Don't Experiment
When Buying a

When you buy an article as often as every month
or every year, you can afford to experiment
you can afford to try different makes and dif
ferent, dealers. But you buy your Piano for a
lifetime you expect of it good service for many
years. Therefore it does not pay to experiment
or decide lightly. jj ;
You will have the greatest assurance of a satis
factory selection by going to a reliable Piano'
House, which carries only dependable inerchan-dise--tell
them frankly what you would like to
have and what you can afford to pay. t Your
Piano ; problem will then be easily solved. You
will secure value received 'for your expenditure
and a Piano which will give lifetime satisfaction
and pleasure. , .
