Repairing It took us a long time to get into the war and it is taking us a long time to get out of it. Oregonians ar positively longing for mud a foot and a half deep if j't ?o.ly is accompanied by sotn of those goo?1 olJ Now that eggs are' min8 down in price the family biddy ?et a move on and begins to produce eggs. Oregon has joined the ranks of sufrage ratfy ing states. When the average woman learns how to vote she will beat the average man who has been studying the art for a hundred years or more and still has many things to learn on that score. The man who says no German goods should be sold in this (oun- try, but that Germany should pay the cost of the war, should come forward with a formula fo' extract ing sugar from lemons. 1 Occasionally you hear people say the legislature might as well meet once in ten years, that the fewer laws we have the better, etc. Yet with the last session only a year away, a flood of legislation is im pending. Most of it is pertinent too and some of it necessary. Which goes to show that it iB not well to believe all you hear. The move for a city hall and com munity center, which is now on again, will make just such progress as its proposals are asne and reason able. There is much to recommend the plan, the need is a large one, something that stares us inj.he face as imperative if we are to take full advantage of our civic well being; yet the application of the plan must be in harmony v ith our ability to carry it out, or it will fall rf its own weight. ' Just as there has sprung up a kindly feeling among democrat for Ex-President Taft, so there is now apt to find expression a sentiment of approval for Mr. Bryan among re publicans. And in each instance for the same reason. Both of these gentlemen have been honored by their respective parties and neither now actively seeks for further pre- ferment. To neither one is the idea of the loaves and fishes, vie- tory and spoils, so prominent as among their younger fellow parti- sans and for these reasons both can express a certain tolreance for the opinions of the other fellow. The influence of both in political affairs is for greater tolerance and a larg er view of matters of public policy than the narrow one of political expediency. Just as the venerable Franklin threw his influence in the constitutional convention in behalf of conciliation in the opposing fac-; tions the influence of Taft and Bry an has been for compromise and peace. . One week from today national prohibition becomes effective be cause of constitutional amendment, It is one of the epoch marking days in our history. We might venture two' predictions. First that the blusfer and hot air ' coming from such sections as Jersey will fade out very speedily when arrayed against the strong arm of Uncle Sam's enforcement laws. Second', that a thorough test in some of the very wettest sections will change these f ircesfrom enemies to friends of the plan. There men will have MRS.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR Don't Depend on Spring Deliveries Spring deliveries of Ford cars have never been certain, and they should not be de pended upon. Demand has always been greater for Ford cars than the supply or production. So , if you wonld be sure of having a Ford car, buy it nowwhile de- liveries are possible. Don't wait even next month is an uncertainty. ' Only a limited, specified number of cars has been allotted to this territory. That allottment cannot be increased, because the demand all over the country is greater than the supply or production. Get your order in now, and you will be one of those who is sure 'of a Ford car out'of our allottment It's first come-first sgrved.( All , order are filled in rotation. So, if you would be forehanded, if you would he certain of having a Ford car when you want it then you will buy a Ford car now. A signed order with us is your protection'. It is the result of the wisdom ,of4 looking ahead, - i r , If you buy a Ford car now, don't thinkjyou have to "store", it. The Ford is a car made to serve it owner for business or pleasure throughout the entire year. Ford owners have Tong since come to recognize the fact. It is no longer popular to "lay-up" your carjfor, the winter.. Buy f. Ford car now, and usejt now. '" GRAHAM & SON Insist on genuine Ford parts' 3 V 33
