Just to 'Remind You WHEN MONEY is scarce general stagnation sets in with its resultant disasters to every line of business, o every profession, and every wage-earner. It is therefore to y ur interest to help to make money plentiful in Oregon by simply keeping it here. The sworn statements of life insurance companies on file with State Insurance Commissioner S. A. Kozer, Salem, Oregon, show that was sent out of OREGON for life insurance premiums in'the past five years. is the total returned here to pay death losses and dividends in the same five years. is the net amount drained out of Oregon in 5 years for life insurance premiums sent to enrich Wisconsin, New York and other states by making their home companies the custodians of these trust funds from Oregon. Does anyone doubt that the commercial supremacy of New York is due to the centralization of the insurance assets in that market, more than to any other one factor? More money is handled by the' insurance companies than all the transportation companies in the country, and it is the centralization of these immense accumulations in one locality that makes that locality the seat of the financial empire. It is the personal interest of every citizen of Ore gon to use his influence that Life insurance be bought of 0!I?I,Iifc and tne money Kept in Oregon for Ore gon's development.

With this week the News Record discontinues the use of the colored comic supplements. They were put out as stated at the Btart as an ex periment. A few of our subscribers have said they did not want them; not one has expressed appreciation of them, so we can only conclude they are not worth the cost. If stop ping them causes a different expres sion of opinion, we may resume them. Starting A Nursery. F.C.Potter of Wallowa, his brother M. O. Potter, and cousin, H. J.

WALLOWA CONUTY FLOAT IS PRAISED (Contln"4d from front page.) ter club of that town failed to fall in with the conte3t for Wallowa countj queen at the Rose Festival because the conditions left "no chance for any other town to win the contest unless Enterprise willing laid down her hand and let the other towns win." The only conditions were Votes 10 cents each, most votes win What's the Use. The esteemed Wallowa Sun (again) finds something in this paper no one else can. It says this paper "takes a fling at the other towns because they did not fall in with the scheme and help finance a venture engineered by the Enterprise Commercial club Also that this paper accuses them (Wallowa people) of disloyalty to the interests of -the county because they did not endorse the plan. Nothing to It, except a gui ty conscience. This paper never printed or intimated any such words or phrases. If the Wai Iowa boosters were guilty of the things the Sun is trying to excuse them for, the Sun Is to our knowledge also the first to charge them. The vho'e, long, labored and .exculpatory editorial is Just another case of the 3un'8 over-heatel imagination as far as it impute to this paper any flings at the Wal'.owa boosters. The latter are all right and more powet to them. May they cause, in one way or another, two babies to grow within the city limits where one grows now. COVE WILL PLAY TWO GAMES HERE (Contluei from first page.) and BHyeu both pitched fine ball, about a standoff. Hayes was hit Just one the most, and gave two bases on balls to Bilyeu's none, but he struck out one more batter than did Bllyeu. He was especially ef fective when hits would have meant runs for Enterprise. Wallowa made two more errors than the locals, but they were not so costly in yielding runs. Hay ej. made the feature Play of the gome in shearing a hut liner from Crumpacker's bat, and Jimmy also starred In batting, getting two hits, scoring one run and bringing in another. Hug was strong with the stick and Oscar Maxwell as usual gave Hayes fine support. Wallowa' Imported players. Hallgarth of Elgin and Hudson of Alice!, did no Btellar stunts. For Enterprise, aside from Bllyeu' 'tfln hurling, the features were W. Pidcocks grand work behind the bat and French's and Crumpacker's bat ting. The team was badly handi capped by R.-PMco.'k's lameness.

COMMISSIONERS TELL OF HEARING (Continued from first page.) be a reduction of 2 cents and as nearly all the wool goes to Boston, this difference on the transcontinen tal rate per hundrel pounds would amount to about l-40th of a cent a pound on the price. The smallest fraction difference paid in price is. one-eighth of a cent, so the reduction would be no advantage. All but a very small part of the wool ship ments go long distances and. so any rate on wool Is a matter for the In terstate commerce commission to ad' just. There will be no decision on the complaints until the records are gone over by the full commission, Chairman Campbell not having been present. Already Bearing Fruit.
