TOST people arc frankly astonished when tney

car as the Paige Stratford "Six 51' can be
. , purchased for $1495. . ,
la tact, it seems to be generally recognized that no car
on the American market offers so much actual
dollar-for'dollar value. 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. .

"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.

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. This seems like an opportunity
for improved roads that we are not
