Health and happiness go hand in hand, for in perfect health the or dinary functions of life are perform ed without conscious effort. Alerely to be alive is a source of enjoyment. A large proportion of illness is due to the ignorance of the laws of hy giene. While knowledge in itseit is not suiiicient to insure good health, Knowledge reinforced by a strong de sire or enthusiasm by self-control and perseverance will certainly go a long way in obtaining it. In order to be healthy one has to be properly nourished; and the teeth play a most important part in pre paring the food for the use of the body. If the teeth are decayed, sore and tender, they cannot chew the food properly; or if some teeth are gone the chewing of food is inter fered with. Food that must be well chewed has the effect of exercising the teeth and jaws, exciting the flow of saliva and the secretion of the gastric juice. Also the organs of digestion require material that will stimulate the activ ities for which they are designel. So pre-digested foods should be partial ly avoided. Teeth become decayed and loose through neglect in cleaning them, lack of exercise, and disease. Some times children's teeth are started on the road to destruction before they are old enough to care for the teeth themselves. So the mothers should be made to realize how important it is to brush their teeeth for them until they can do it for themselves. . Many serious diseases have their origin in infection arising in decayed teeth. And as in other matters of hygiene prevention is preferable to cure. One cannot expect to attain perfect health without patient effort. So by carefully tending sound teeth and submitting them to examination by a dentist impairment may be de ferred and trouble avoided. Grain Growers Will Meet May 19th at Heppner All members of the Oregon Co operative Grain Growers who reside in Morrow County will get togeth er for their annual meeting on Fri day, May 19th at 2 p. m. for the pur pose of electing their district dele gates, and transacting such other business that should come before a regular meeting of that organization. In order to avoid confusion it is well for each member to bring his ballot ready to vote and in case the members desire to discuss the situa tion they can do so and vote at the meeting. The success of a coopera tive association depends upon the in terest which its members take in its success. The by-laws provide that the members shall elect the district delegates who in turn elect the di rectors, who in turn select the man ager. It is highly important that the memberss elect the proper men for district delegates and this meetine is arranged for by the by-laws of the association for that very pur pose. C.

Hulden of Heppner, candi date for joint representative from Morrow and Umatilla counties, was in town yesterday. He bases his campaign on the right of Morrow county to have representation. The joint representative is the only state office sought by Morrow county and that county is entitled to some rep resentation. It would be an injust ice to deprive Morrow county of that office.

For Joint Senator To the Republican Voters of Uma tilla, Union and Morrow counties I respectfully solicit your support in the primary election on May 19th for the nomination on the republican ticket for Joint Senator of the 19th Senatorial District. I have lived m Umatilla county for the past thirty years and am a taxpayer in each of the counties com prising this district. I have been a faithful worker in the republican party for the past 25 years and an active and consistent supporter at all times of the nomi nees of my party. If returned to the legislature I will give the same loyal service to my constituents that I rendered in 1913 and 1915 sessions and will devote my entire time to the interests and wishes of the people in Umatilla, Union and Morrow counties. For platform and public policy I stand for retrenchment and tax re duction proportionate to the lower prices of labor and farm products and think the present plan of high way and market road construction should be continued until a good and sufficient system is provided for all parts of the state. Thanking you in advance for any assistance you can give me in the primaries and with a promise to re turn my gratitude in service, I re main, Yours, truly, J. T. HINKLE. (Paid Advertisement.)

The new concrete garage at Lex ington is now nearing completion and is a fine structure. It was erected by E. Nordyke and the building has been leased by Messrs. E. A. Kelly and Robt. Jordan, experienced auto repair men and machinists, who will soon have their machinery installed and the garage ready for business.

EE DAY TO BE The local campaign being organiz ed for the collection of clothing for the near-naked of the Near East is part of the state-wide and nation wide movement Volunteers have been enlisted and the campaign or ganized in practically every commun ity in Oregon. One pound of clothing for every person residing in the state is the suggested quota of spare clothes to be collected on Bundle Day, May 24. Churches, clubs, schools and many other organized groups are collecting clothing emphasizing the need of providing warm winter clothes for the protection of war-orphans and refu gees in the Near East and Southeast ern Russia. "Warm clothes and shoes have to do double duty in the Near East," says J. J. Handsaker, State Director of the Near East Relief, who travel ed extensively in that section last summer. "Not only must they keep out the wintry winds and snows out of doors, but inside the house they are called upon to replace furnaces and stoves, for the scarcity of fuel makes every day a heatless day in many of the Near East orphanages." It is not too much to ask the peo ple of Oregon to take a trip to their . attics on Bundle Day and lay aside their cast-off garments to help clothe the near-naked of the Near East. Good is being done, on the other hand, by offering the American peo ple the opportunity to clean out their closets of useless garments, the warmth of which will save lives in the Near East. Take your bundle to the nearest Bundle Station, or sen! directly to Near East Relief, Portland. Bundles should reach Portland not earlier than May 24th or later than May 30th. Oregon Voter Endorses Starkweather for Governor Of all the various democrats men tioned for governor, none has the record for old-fashioned common sense executive ability that can be shown by Harvey G. Starkweather. He does not play to the galleries with sob eloquence and he does not fol low freaks, fads and fancies. When Walter Pierce was flirting with the Non-Partisan League, at a time when it looked like the league might cut a figure in Oregon, Starkweather condemned it from the start. Later Pierce condemned it. When so many grange leaders were fighting the state highway program Starkweather help ed lay the constructive foundations for what has resulted in our present state highway system. He was a powerful influence in enlisting grange support in its behalf, and in spite of the bitter opposition of most of the grange leaders. Starkweather is a dirt farmer who by thrift and business ability built up his proper ties to the point that he was able to acquire profitable holdings of Port land business property, which shows that he is a good business manager as well as a heavy taxpayer. Stark weather is a solid citizen with deep convictions, lots of determination and a lot of horse sense. He would jbe a strong candidate against whom soever the republicans nominated ' and would make a eood governor for i Oregon. Oregon Voter. i : ' E. C.
