If you have investigated the "Stratford," you probably feel the same way about it. But don't delay too long, please, in placing your order. At least make a reservation while we can continue to promise early delivery. .

Seven Portland Hotels Alone Disburse $350,000 Annually For Ranch Products. Seven of Portland's leading hotels annually disburse among Oregon pro ducers $350,000 (or the products of the farm. Of that total at least 210, 000 Is distributed direct to the small farmer (or poultry, butter, eggs, milk, cream and vegetables. The remain ing 1140,000 is paid out tor bam, ba con, fish and fresh meat Although the foregoing figures are those of the hotels which handle the bulk of the transient travel in Port land, they do not show all that the transient travel means to the Oregon farmer. . Hundreds of tourists frequently take their meals at a grill, restaurant or cafeteria not connected with the hotel at which they are registered. It obtainable these figures would ma terially swell the grand total of what this business means to Oregon pro ducers, -.i . One of the arguments used against the six million road bond bill is that the roads to be hard surfaced under the provisions of the measure will be "scenic roads" rather than market roads. The figures quoted above would indicate that the firmer has a direct and material Interest in any plan of road building such as is pro Tided for if it will make more acces sible a market such as PorUand af fords for bis products. As an illustration of what good roads mean to the farmer one Port land hotel pays one producer annually 13000 for eggs alone. He pays S3 cents a dozen under contract through out the year. There is no question but that with the completion, of the roads desig nated in the bond bill Oregon will at tract a good share of the tourist busi ness now largely monopolized by Cali fornia and estimated to be worth to that state annually $200,000,000.

ARE YOU THE OWNER OF AN AUTOMOBILE? If there were only one reason why very automobile owner should go to the polls June 4th, and vote "Yes" on the $6,000,000 road bond bill It is because automobile owners will pay for these improvements by their in creased licenses. But they will save several times the amount of their license in wear and tear of machines, tire mileage and gasoline. Auto owners will have to pay the increased fee regardless of whether Or not the road bond bill Is approved at the June election. ' If the $6,000,000 road bond bill Is approved by the people, the money derived therefrom will be expended In the construction of . a state-wide system of permanent roads. County money now spent on main trunk lines will be used on laterals and less traveled roads if the road bonds carry at the special election on June 4th. . Alfalfa Seed.

California mi "During the past winter, sheepmen In my seetion of the state lost fully 40 per cent of their lambs owing to. the weather and the inability to tran sport feed from the railroads because of the impassable condition of the roads," reports G. M. Blakely, a prom inent Grant County' sheepman. "With the good roads provided in the $0,000, 000 road bond bill we would have been able to get the necessary stock food and reduced to a minimum the loss of lambs.. With the bottomless roads we now have in our part of the state, that was impossible. This Is an element that enters Into the prevailing high cost ot living. Less slock means constantly increasing higher prices. The people of my county are emphatically for the road bond bill and any other legislation that will Improve existing conditions in the matter of transportation in ru ral communities." In the recent essay contest held for Oregon schools, four pupils in Morrow county schools have submit ted essays which have received a lo cal ranking, although judgment has not yet been passed upon them inso far as the state contest is concerned. The contest was held in three di visions. Pupils from the high school competing in one division, seventh and eighth grade pupils competing in another division and pupils below these grades competing still in an other division. The subject of the essays was based upon the effects of stimulants and narcotics upon, the body, the mind and the efficiency ot the indi vidual, and his relation to society. Those in this county who are in line for, the state prizes are Bertha M. Hays of Hardman, high school division, first prize, and Frank Schmidt of Lexington, 2nd prize; in the grades, Mary Clark of Heppner won first prize and Margaret Wood son, also of Heppner, wos second prize. Considerable interest was taken by the pupils in the contest. We publish herewith the essay of uertba M. Hays of Hardman, which took first prize in the high school division. We will publish the others from week to week. THE HYGIENE OF POOD, SHEL TER AND CLOTHING. . ' The three essentials to human life are food, shelter and clothing, and if properly prepared and Brovlded they are the means of prolonging life and making it more enjoyable. Food is anything which, when tak en Into thei body, produces heat weight, and energy. Food is the first essential to life because it repairs the body, makes it grow larger and stronger, and helps to keep it warm The body demands four classes of food, namely: proteids, carbohy drates, fats, and salts. , Proteids are such foods as the white of an egg, cheese, and meats; carbohydrates are sweet and starchy foods; fats are butter, cream and lard; and salts are common table salts, and soda. Milk is the only perfect food as it Is the only one which contains all four kinds of food. Therefore It Is used extensively for Invalids and 111 peo ple who require a liquid diet. When one of the four classes of foods is neglected partial starvation results. People In different climates require different kinds of foods. The heat producing foods are eaten In the frig id zones while fruits are eaten more in the tropics. In our own country we eat more meats and hot soups in the winter and iced drinks and ice cream in the summer. The proper preparation of food is something which, every housewife should thoroughly understand. She should know that a meal is not com plete unless It contains the four classes of food. Since proper cook ing improves the food and makes It digestible she should not make soggy and doughy bread, continually fry food instead ot boiling or baking it, and should not substitute food too rich and too sweet for the plain and wnoiesome food. She should avoid all adulterated foods, too much spices, and too much grease. Today most of our sickness is caused by stomach trouble which is a result of improper cooking. There- lore, since our health deDends to such a great extent upon our food it is very important to know how this should be prepared. A shelter is that which nrotects ua from winds, rain and snow storms. or the hot Bun. In prehistoric times man lived in caves. The American Indian lived in tents. Today we have dwelline houses made of lumber, stone or brick. t.very nome should be weather proof, well' lighted, ventilated and properly heated. If It is not weather-proof, the occupants are liable to take cold. If it is not well liehtpri the eyes are effected. If not ven tilated the lungs do not receive the proper amount of fresh air that they should. And if not properly heated the whole body suffers from the cold. a nouse should not be built near a swamp or in any damp place on ac count of illness which would be sure 10 result, and insects and mice, which inhabit such places. Neither should we live In a tent under the glaring sun because being overheated is very narnuui as wen as being sunstroked. Clothing is the means br which wa assist Nature in keeping our bodies warm, it Is made of cotton, woolen, silk and flax fibre. Clothing, like food, also differs according to cli mate and seasons. Woolen clothing is lighter in weight than cotton clothing of the same thickness. It absorbs the per spiration more readily, and does not permit the body to become suddenly chilled. Woolen clothing lessens the danger of taking cold. Since wool is warmer than cotton clothing we should wear the former In the win ter. Too much clothing over any part of the body overheats It and makes It tender. Many sore throats are caused by wearing scarfs or mufflers about the neck. Too thin clothing also causes illness. Tight clothing is verv harmful There is no waste space In the human body and girls need as much room for their livers, stomachs and lungs as boys. Tight lacing is very in jurious to the health as it deforms the liver, squeezes up the lungs and crowds the stomach out of place. Flat heeled shoes are much better for the health than high-heedel ones. Shoes that are too tight or loose cause corns. Tight elastic garters about the knee hinder free circulation of the blood. Clean clothing is mnch to be pre ferred to that to which dirt and the sweat of our bodies cling. Clothing should be kept clean as well as our bodies. If we have proper food, a good home, and suitable clothing we will, without doubt enjoy good health, and good health Is the first essential to a happy life, "With good roads, Eastern LInu County can produce and market thou sands ot tons of good products from land now given over entirely to graz ing purposes," announced George Gi zendorfer, a good roads booster of Cascadla, who walked 16 miles to at tend a recent good roads meeting at Lebanon. "With our present poor roads, it Is Impossible for us readily to reach the market with such prod ucts, with the result that this acre age, so adapted for agriculture, is chiefly valuable only for grazing pur poses. With good roads that would make markets more available, Btock can he moved farther back and this land developed in an agricultural way. In this way, the further settle ment of the state would be aided with a consequent increase in the state's production of food products." Considering the activities of State Master Ssfrace on the one hand and the number of favorable resolutions passed by individual granges on the other, so far as the grange is con cerned In the bond proposition it ap pears a case of whether the dog (shall wag the tall or the tail wag the dog. Hlllsboro Independent. The state pamphlet on the six mil lion dollar bonding measure will soon be In the hands of the voters. Do not throw It away without a careful study.
