THE OREGON FRUITGROWER ASSOCIATION. Probably there has never, been an attempt anywhere in the West, and certainly not in the State of Oregon to form an organisation of such po tential business possibilities as that of the farmers of the Willamette Val ley In the Oregon Fruit Growers As sociation. This is a (10,000,000.00 organization which has for its object control of the selling of all the mar ketable fruit raised in the Willam ette Valley. Who says the Valley Is made up of mossbacks? Who Bays they are behind the tlmesT Who says that the farmers ot the State of Oregon cannot organize? Who says they cannot get what they go after? Who says that such an organization will not be of vast benefit to the fruit growing Industry ot the Willamette Valley? It is such an organization and such efforts and such business like propositions that will develop an industry from a toddling infant to one which is ot such importance that It lias proved to be one ot the tood mainstays of a great nation. Let the people' of Morrow county take a lesson from their neighbors in Web-foot. The New Way of Practicing Dentistry THE E. R. Parker System in Dentistry is nothing but dentistry put on a common-sense basis. Instead of one man practicing in a small way in a small 1 office, several dentists practice together under the Parker System in large oflices, where there is room for complete equip ments. Some of the System dentists extract teeth, some fill teeth, some make crowns and bridges, some make arti ficial pliites and some treat diseased teeth. In this wny each patient is cared for by n dentist who is experienced in the kind of work each pa tient needs. Dental work done in this manner is not only done belter, but in less time, making fewor visits necessary, and the saving in time helps to make prices lower. There arc twenty-four offices where the E. R. Parker System used, Dr. Parker located in different cities. Thousands of pa tients are treated in these offices, and tbe large quantities of den tal supplies used are bought for less money than has to be paid for small quantities. All dentists using the E. R, Parker System are reg istered, licensed and experi enced. The work they do is done so well that it can be guaranteed. Tou are sure of satisfaction. Under the Parker System no charge is made for exam inations and advice. You can find out what your teeth need without having to pay a cent. Everything known in dentis try to overcome pain is. used in Parker System offices, jo you need have no fear at all. The whole idea is this: Fine dentistry, fewer visits, moderate cost, sat isfaction, no fear of pain. There is an E. R. Par ker System office at 755 Main Street, Pendleton. 326 Washington Street, Portland A REVELATION IN THE MEAT BUSINESS For the People of Heppner and Vicinity Choice Prime Beef, Lamb, Veal and Grain Fed Young Pork.

Be Here Know It prmg i Yore -You DESPITE conditions which greatly held back the production of automobiles throughout the early months of this year, nearly twenty thousand discriminating motor car buyers have been made happy and contented by the possession of their new Chandler cars. Chandler dealers will, we hope, be able to fill their orders more quickly next year, but when the first warm days of Spring come, and the country roads call, and everyone decides he wants his new car at once, there will be some waiting again. If you want your new Chandler when you want it, place your order now. If you want to be sure of get ting the car of your choice, the greatest of all Sixes beyond question, drop in and see your Chandler dealer now, regardless of what the weather may """ be. For "Spring'U be here 'fore you know it." Nothing could more clearly show the regard in which America holds the Chandler Six, than the patience with which thousands waited for weeks and months for their Chandlers. They waited because they knew what they were waiting for, because they know it is worth waiting for. Some are still waiting, but their cars are com ing. December production is taking care of many orders, and January will see the great Chandler plant on a production basis unprecedented in the medium priced fine car field. All Chandler bodies are mounted on the one standard Chandler chassis, which has made the name famous. Simple, sturdy and dependable throughout, its features embrace, as for years past, the really marvelous Chandler motor, solid cast aluminum motor base, annular ball bearings, silent chain drive for the auxiliary motor shafts, and Bosch magneto ignition.
