Painless Parker
The Famous Dentist
PEOPLE living
a hundred miles
or more away
come to my offices
to have their teeth
fixed up. I make it
a rule that those
from a distance
shall be waited
upon immediately
and their work be
completed first, so
they can go back home as
soon as possible.
Years ago I discovered how
to extract and fix teeth with
out hurting, and was so
successful that people
called me "Painless"
Parker. My practice has
grown until I now havo
Si
twenty-eight offices,
and all my associ
ates in these offices
have been taught
how to practice
painless dentistry
as well as I can do
it myself. We have
fixed up the teeth
of over a million
people, and call our
way of practicing
"the E. R. Parker System."
If your teeth are bothering
you, and you want them put
in good shape without hurt
ing and without pay
ing a fancy- price, come
to our nearest office,
which you will find
located at
755 Main Street, Pendleton

the launching of a power dam at the
Umatilla rapids was discussed. A
meeting will be called at Umatilla in
the near future with prominent
speakers from Heppner, Arlington,
Pendleton and Hermiston, to further
the proposed project.
Several new homes are to start in
the near future.
A serious accident might have oc
curred the other evening when sev
eral young men started to Messner
in an auto. One wheel broke and
the machine rolled completely over.
Two were jammed up a, little, but not
seriously.
A general service station is to be
built on the corner of the Columbia
Highway and Main street. Good, let
'em colie.
Tom Hendricks has purchased the
school house and will take it down
and build a new home on his farm.
Mr. E. Messenger, a recent arrival

senger has a large family who at
tend the public and high school and

Announce your new year resolu
tions by doing something.
Mr. T. Snively from Dul'ur, has
purchased the Pastime from Ed
Miles, and has installed a lunch coun
ter. Oh you "hot dog."
One of the crying needs of the service is a classified civil service
status for third and fourth class postmasters. The parcel post system
has placed a burden on the postmasters of this class that is all out of
proportion to their compensation. Since the parcel post system was es
f fhed it has grown to gigantic proportions, and in the smaller towns,
k o i.jrro nerrentntra of buvin2 is done from mail order houses, it
-jj j "e" r o- -- n i
forms the bulk of the mail handled. '
The present compensation of the fourth-class postmaster is fixed on
conditions that existed a half century ago. His pay is based on a per
centage of the cancellation of stamps in the outgoing mail. Incoming
mail is from three to eight tunes greater than the outgoing mail, and
the postmaster gets nothing for handling it That means that he has
from three to eight times more work to do free than his paid work.
I An adequate wage scale, based on the hours of service required and
I the amount of work performed, is what the National League of Post-
masters stands for, and congress will be asked to grant such scale at the
coming session.

Australian Stockman Tells of Bullock
That Took Care of Another Which
Was Sightless.
Peter S. Mitchell, a stock raiser from
Melbourne, Australia, says that the cat
tle business Is at present the best In
the history of Australia. He says that ,
his people are hard at work restoring I
the country to normal and time they
are very anxious to get the world trade
back to pre-war conditions.
"My father was first to bring the
Tdack Poll cattle Into Australia 40
years ago," said Mr. Mitchell at New
York, "and they have developed to bo
the best for our section. They are
hardy, flourish on ferns, tree leaves
and hark, where other cattle would
starve, and they grow to great size,
with weight evenly distributed, and
the fat running in hair lines through
the rump steaks even. There is a
quick market for anything on the hoof
that Is fairly fat, and prices are very
good.
"We discovered a blind bullock lu
one of the herds that came in, and an
other bullock had adopted It and
fathered It all the time. It was found
to be blind only when we noticed that
Its companion signaled to It constantly
and led It to water, through gates and
narrow runs. If at any time it got lost
Its friend would never rest until he had
located it.
"None of the other bullocks paid any
attention to the blind one and the pro
tection the foster parent gave to the
unfortunate bullock was a never end
ing source of comment and specu
lation. When both, fattened after
IS months on our place, were driven to
the shipping station fit) miles distant
the blind one was led through the diffi
cult places by bis friend and generally
cured for day nnd night."
WANT LANGUAGE UP TO DATE
Common Sense Behind "Literary Revo
lution" That Is Now Prevail
ing In China. '
What Is termed the literary revolu
tion In Chlnn alms nt a reform of the
language used In books, magazines,
newspapers and public discussion. The
outsider will Jump to the conclusion
that this means an attempt to encour
age a phonetic substitute for Ideo
graphic characters. Not at all. There
Is n movement to supplement Ideo
graphs with phonetic signs to show
their pronunciation, the nlm being

elation as make It easier to learn to
read. lint this movement arouses no
such Interest nnd excitement as the lit
erary revolution.
The latter Is an attempt to make the
spoken language the standard lan
guage for print. Literary Chinese Is as
far away from tho vernacular as Latin
Is from Kngllsh, perhaps further. It Is
n speech of 2,000 years ago, adorned
nnd frozen. To learn It Is to learn
another language. The reformers were
actuated by the practical Impossibility
of making education really universal
when In addition to the ditllciiltles of
mastering the Ideographs, children In
the elementary schools are compelled
to get their education In terms of a
foreign language.
They are actuated even more by the
belief that It was not possible to de
velop a literature which shall express
the life of today unless Hie spoken lan
guage, the language of Ihe people, In
used. Apart from the employing and
enriching of the vulgar tongue, It Is
not possible to develop general discus
sion of the Issues of today, soclul,
mural, economic. New Republic.
