The war god appears to have eterv
: thing oomirjg his own way. In event
the Uregonian tails iu its mission of
"oopperbeading" Wilson and his ooorj
try into war with Germany, the
. Pendleton Tribnne has job of oat
cage awaiting him down in Mexioo.
The "Irib." docs not bide its aenlj-
rcunts under a bnabel basket, neither
does it mlnoe words. It says: "We
need Mexioo and the Mefioan people
need ns and our civilization. Mexioo,
Drjfler (he Ameiioeo flag, woold be
come one of tbe most densely populat
ed seotioos of tbe American oontinent.
Not only this, bnt it woold soon be
come ooe of tbe riobest of Uncle Sam's
possessions. A bioab with Mexioo
wonld stimolate oot patriotism ana
destroy our copperhead tendencies and
give os an opportomty to build np an
army aod navy tbat woold be tbe
envy of tbe tottering principalities of
Eorops."
May President Wilson oontlnne to
keep tbe ship of state safely within
Ibe barbor of peace. Regal dless of
whether tbe death of American oiii
cens in tbe Lnsltanla disaster was doe
to England's oarrylog tbem on tbe
same merobant ship with monitions
and other ocutiatand of wat, or to
Germaoy'a barsb meassorea and start
ling methods of naval warfare, this
country needs to lemain at peace witb
tbe world for humanity's sake. There
most be an accounting tot tbe death
of neutrals bot aot necessarily through
tbe taking or giving of mora lives.

We don't handle whiskey nor we

There is one tbiog we do aurely
dread: Tbey talk of putting Califor

So if they do, we are anrely tbrougb;
oor costomers say it will not do.
For every one has not got a good eye;
they might eat a raisin, and think it
was a fly.
So we'll haog right on to the tame
old staff; it is light aod flaky, and is
good enough.
There is ooe thing you cannot beat:
We bave got the best Restaurant ou
tbis street. We sell everything in the
market, so yon oao't growl; from a
bacon sandwich to biled owl.
Oor Java, now, is all tba talk; we
make it to strong, it can almoat walk.

The Peoples Warehouse
Where it Pays to Trade. Save Your TPW Stamps,
WH1 NOT MAKE YOUR OLD HOUSE LOOK NEW?
Just a few suggestions to show how easily and eoooomioally it may
be remodeled and modernized,
A NEW FRONT PORCH, bnilt along modern lines, ooeta not a great
deal, adds immeasurably to tbe appearaooe of (ha boose, besides adding
greatly to its liveable and likeable qnalitiet.
ONE 07 THOSE MODERN FRONT DOORS, really ooe of tbe most
attractive featnrea of reoently built bouses. Yon could bave one pot in
at email oost and witb very little ttonble. No ooe tbiog wonld make
more notifiable improvement.
WHY NOT flAVE MORE LIGHT? Larger openings from the bell
to the adjoining room or between two adjoining rooms,, would prodnoe
tbat effeot, witb moon additional oomfort. Additional light oould be aer
onred by patting in a new tingle or mnllion (double) windows. Tbi oost
of these ohangea is slight. The Introduction of a window seat, especially
in a bay window, givet added ooziness at a very alight additional oott.,
; THOSE NEW B.E A MED CEILINGS--Yon bave admired tbem in
olbet houses. Eld yoo ever stop to think that tba higher oeilinga of yonr
older hoose would permit of the introdaotion of ooe of them, most effeot
lvely at a small ontlay? It wonld make a very fine setting for those new
eleotrio flitnres yon would like so mnota. '
HARDWOOD FLOORS those vertical grain hardwood floors appeal
to the boosewife. Yon woold be surprised to koow how easily we oould
put ooe in for yon rigbt ovet tbe old one, without tearing op tbe room,
aod all at a most moderate oost.
MAKE THE STAIRWAY COUNT It should not be a convenience
only, bot play Its part la tbe ioterior deoorative scheme as well. Jost a
few alterations new balusters and rail or newel, or new treads and risers
will help mnob. ,
THOSE BUILT-IN FEATURES they may ell be so easily introduced
into tbe old hoose. Sideboards, ohloa olosets, kitoben cupboards, wben
bnilt in tare tpaoe and harmonize with the rest of (be woodwork. New
trim would likewise add a striking effeot as oompared with tbe old.
WITH VERY LITTLE MUSS a great many improvements can be
made without paitition work, so that there is none of tbe "muss" that
aooompsnles new plastering work. Some of these improvements, whiob
oan be made at a slight oost, will not only increase the oomfort of yoni
boose bot sdd to its selling value as well.
Oar WALLBOARD can te.'easily used simply nail tbis to yonr old
walls-end paint over same. You will get a lot of suggestions for nslng
wallboard from oor books oo the same. Very pretty designs for tbe borne
oao te easilyarked oat. OUR FREE PLAN BOOKS GIVE MANY
SUGGESTIONS FOR THIS WORK. Why not let os explain to yon in
detail sooo at what reasonable prices aod witb how little trooble yoc
can moke tbeea Improvements. ,
