When a hy little maid, of the world afraid, Sts forth on Love'3 High way, She knows not where the road may fare Or where her feet may stray. For a time the road runs wide and straight, And Its pleasures wing the hours. But at last It divides, and there are no guides Save the birds and the nod ding f'.ow'rs. Wher. she comes to the forks of Love's Highway As come? she must some day And her head says "This way," but her heart says "That," Which way shall she turn? Which way? Unknown. THE TIE THAT BINDS TRADE. who declares himself friend of the Initiative and referendum, argues that the number of measure to be submit ted to the people at any one election should be limited My to six, or per haps four, so that the people will not have their attention divided among so many measures. He suggests that the legislature adopt or propose such an amendment and believes that It would be well re ceived and favorably acted upon by the people. This is one of the changes recom mended by Blue Mountain grange, commented on a while back by the Journal, and Is probably a good one. Let only a limited number of changes those having the larger number of pe titioners, be voted on at one election, and others wait. ' It might also be well not to allow a law or constitutional amendment voted down at one election to come up again under four or six years. There are miny ties which hold communities togetlir, commercially, but none stronger than the good road3 tie. People love good roads and will travel long distances on a fine road to do trading rather than travel a much shorter distance over a bad or Indif ferent road. Pendleton understands this and un derstanding It should begin work to Improve the roads and facilities for travel Into the west end of the coun ty. Alonj the rijge? between this city and Hcriui-t jii should run a fine automobile boulevard, wide, well grad ed, well kept and well surfaced, so the trip by te.im from Hermiston to this city would require but a couple of hours, and by automobile less than an hour. j Nothing wouil bind the west end o the county to Pendleton more firmly than this. This city is the logical and r.atur.r, trading, banking and eorftmer cia! center of the county and facilities for travel ma't I improved and In 7Te jsel. Another f-.T.ute of the good roads question I the enormous Increase of land v.ilu'-s where roads are well kept. At the goo roads convention at Stockton last Mjndiy, George L. Coo ky, superintendent of construction from the department of agriculture, said that the public roads office is Invaluable as a source of general In formation regarding land values In the I'r.lfd States. Through that office, said Superin tendent Cooler, "we learn that the percentage of Improved roads in Ar kansas is seven-hun Jrcdths of one per ceirt. while the awage land value Is $16.67 per acre; improved roads In Indiana ZZ per cent, land values I54.S1 per acre; Improved roads In Mississippi 3S-10) of 1 per cent, land values J15.54 per acre; improved road.H in Ohio 33 per cent, and land values J57.43 per acre. This shows that where good roads exist, there land values are highest." In other words, the property of the landowners can be vastly Increased In value by the construction of good roads. KEEP MONEY AT HOME. The East Oregonlan regrets to see good Umatilla county money going away from home for investment. There are Just as good Irrigation pro jects here, just as good manufacturing propositions here. Just as good city In vtstments and all other kinds of In viting investments as can be found in any city of this size in the northwest and yet thousands of dollars are con stantly going away to be Invested in less profitable and more uncertain lo cations. If one-half of the money that has been accumulated from Umatilla coun ty farms and stock herds were invest ed In Umatilla county enterprises, this would be the greatest manufacturing center In the northwest. But scarcely any of the accumula tions from Umatilla county's excellent resources are reinvested here to keep the "ball rolling." Men make for tunes here as quickly as possible and then "shake the dust" of Umatilla county and look elsewhere for places to Invest. hat is neede In Umatilla county and especial!" In Pendleton. Is a storng stock of loyalty and home pride for the city and county. While we are investing our money at home, we can not only enjoy good returns, but we can help build up the coun ty and increase Its facilities and wealth. We can make money for our selves and make It easy for others to make money. Let us not "milk" the county and then run away. Let us put back Into the excellent investments some of the money we have drawn out of the soil and ranges and make Umatilla the banner manufacturing as well as the banner agricultural county of the state.

The East Oregonlan Is publishing the truth. Pendleton will be a better Lily dry than ever It was wet. In five years the voters of your city would no more readmit the saloon than they would favor the establishment of a sanitarium in their midst for the treat ment of bubonic plague. No voice Is ever raised In. exfolia tion of the curse of rum, save the one of greed. No man Is ever praised for his drunkenness or ability to debauch himself and ruin his family and de stroy Its happiness. Xo man Is hon ored because of his Increased capac ity for drink, or that he beat his wife cftener this year than last, or starved his children mor than usual. The days of ascending manhood and woman hood have arrived. II. S. HARCOURT. 3 Hot Stove-Cool Kitchen How do you expect to en dure the broiling days of summer if you prepare all the food over a glowing coal fire? You need a " New Perfec tion" Oil Stove that will do the cooking without cook ing the cook. It concen trates plenty of heat under the pot and diffuses little or none through the room. Therefore, when wftlung with the NEW PEBFECTIOW Wick Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stove the kitchen actually seems as comfortable as you could wish it to be. This, in itself, is wonderful, but, more than that, the "New Perfection" Oil Stove does perfectly every thing that any stove can do. It is an ideal all-round cook-stove.

STANDARD OIL COMPANY (Incorporated) A 1a Grande brewery building is to be converted into a fruit packing and storage warehouse. If all the apple land adjacent to Pendleton were now bearing apples, two or three brewery buildings in this city could hi- used for that purpose. This is just i hint to the retiring saloon nien of Umatilla county. What Makes a Bank Strong ? A VINDICATION. LIMIT INITIATIVE LAWS. The Oregon Daily Journal com mends the suggestion of Judge Low ell of this city that the Initiative laws submitted by the people should he limited to a small number In eaeh election. If something Is not done to check the matter, the official ballot 111 be as large as a Navajo blanket in a few years. Ther are a few meritorious meas ures which deserve a place on the ballot, but there are many local an4 selfish measures which do'not deserve a place on the ballot and county di vision bills are among this number. The Journal says: In a communication to the East Oreyonlan Judg-e Lowell of that city, The East Oregonlan has just receiv ed the following unsolicited and unex pected letter from Portland. It is written by a prominent mining man of that city, a man of unquestioned integrity and honor and one whose word may be taken on the question discussed in the letter. The facts given In this letter are a complete vindication of the prohibi tion sentiment and the letter is print ed without comment. Readers of the East Oregonian may draw their own conclusions: Editor East Oregonlan, Pendleton, Oregon. Dear ir: I cannot refrain from congratulating you on the tone of the editorial utterances of your splendid newspaper since It was determined that Umatilla county had had enough of the whiskey business. I was a res ident of North Dakota for several years, and as you know, that state ig now dry, with a big D. All kinds of disaster and all kinds of calamity was predicted when the saloons were voted out, but the actual result was expressed to me by the governor re cently when he said: "PROHIBITION HAS BEEN A GREAT FACTOR IN THE PROS PERITY AND UPBUILDING OF OUR STATE. OUR TAXES ARE, I BELIEVE, THE LOWEST OF ANY OF THE NEWER STATES, FIRST, BECAUSE OF THE DECLINE OF CRIME, AND, SECOND, BECAUSE THERE ARE NOW THOUSANDS OF MEN, ESPECIALLY HEADS OF FAMILIES, PAYING TAXES ON PROPERTY ACQUIRED BY THEIR SAVINGS THAT FORMERLY WENT INTO THE HANDS OF THE SA LOONKEEPER. "FAMILIES FORMERLY OCCU PYING SOD SHANTIES NOW OWN BEAUTIFUL HOMES, WELL FUR NISHED, AND THE PIANO STANDS UPON WELL CARPETED FLOORS, h'HERE BEFORE THERE WAS NO FLOOR BUT THAT OF NATURE. DIVORCES HAVE DECREASED BY AT LEAST HALF, AND YOUR 'COUNTY FARMS,' ALIAS THE POOR HOUSE, IS AN UNNECESSA RY PART OF OUR COUNTY PROPERTY. KX PLAIN' THE CANDLE-POWER. In Illuminating circles one hears a great deal about "candlepower" and nearly everyone, if asked, would In stantly reply that a candle power was the light given by a single candle. But candles differ ,ln luminosity as well as Incandescent lamps, and candle-power is nnf one thing but sev eral according to the country where used. In Great Britain and the United States the standard light unit Is the amount given by a "spermaceti can dle burning up at the rate of 120 grains an hour with a flame 4," mill- meters high," or 1.78 Inches. In France the standard candle is made of stearine. and Germany's randle was, until a few years ago, parafine. Now the latter country uses the so called Hefner unit of light. the amount given by a certain form of lamp burning acetate of nmyl. An other lamp standard, called the car cel. was used in France. In this I purified rape seed oil Is burned. Be cause of this unsatisfactory Interna tional chaos It Is now proposed that our national bureau of standards at Washington take steps to establish a standard - International candle which would be acceptable to at least nine countries. In judging a bank, always remember that It Is the personnel of the stJvkholdeu, rrectors and offi cers that are behind the Instltut'on which give con fidence to the depositor that Ills funds are safe. The Pendleton Savings Bank Is essentially n "Home" Institution. Its stockhold ers are well known Umatilla county and Oregon citizens. Its constant growth Is the result of care ful and conservative management, with the most liberal treatment for all deserving enterprise. Capital and Surplus $250,000.00 W. J. Furnish R. T.

But it's not how much an ad costs it's how much profit it brings you. Net profit that's the main thing. ADVERTISING is not a magic art. All it is, is putting into print effective selling arguments a good salesman would use orally. Write those arguments in an attractive style bring out the merits of a proposition so that the other fellow feels an instinctive desire to possess it tell him why he should buy it and then finally satisfy him that the price is right. To get the best results, cater to the largest number you can reach among those who make good wages and live well people who can afford to buy what you have to sell. Tho East Oregonian's readers are composed of that class who willingly pay 65 cents a month for it in preference to buying the cheaper papers. Not result they are people who can afford to buy what you have to sell. They are not penurious. They are not paupers.
