Orfgon. May 5, lf24. To the Editor: I would like through the clurrr.i of your paper to call stter.uon to the importance and duty of every repi; Ured voter in the nthte votii.p at the primary and aii other .c:ion. The ripht of franchise carries tth it a pricfif-ia priviiepe. and imposes s serious and noien.n duty which should be performrJ. It if a sad comment ary on our Rtpul- icar. form of pov- mment that lepivauon of preat im portanrt f re q a n t y is p iced upon the gtatutc b ok of this ftnte by a very swl! percentage of registered voter. This is also true of the se lection of our public official? city, county and sti.te. In many elections even the most important officials heretofore have been elected with probably not over twenty-five per cent of the registered vote. The citixen who is m qualified elec tor and neglects to go to the polls and vote on election d&y should be the last person to complain about the election of incompetent officials and the enactment of objectionable laws. Instead, be invariably is the first to protest, unmindful of the fact that the real responsibility for the very situation of which he complains belongs to himself and hundreds of other equally nepliper.t electors for evadir.p their duty as citizens. Another class of residents of this state is equally censurable and re sponsible for their condition, I refer to those residents who, although eli gible to citiienship, frequently neg lect taking out necessary papers and qualifying as citiiens for a preat many years after arriving in this country. Even then, it is too often the case they are impelled to that action by some reason personal to themselves, rather than the more laudable purpose of participating in the election of deserving officials and the enactment of good and beneficial laws as well as the defeat of vicious and unworthy measures. Bad as this is it is not comparable to citizens of this country who neplect their duty to vote thereby failing to measure up to the full measure of good cit izenship. It certainly is a privilege to be a part of the electorate in this state w-here each voter is in effect a legislator. This in itself emphasizes the duty of every citizen to vote at all elections. Good government is assured in pro portion as the electorate participates therein. A great majority of citi zens in every community desire good government, clean, trustworthy offi cials and legislation for the public good. The best antidote for unfaith ful public officials and undesirable laws, now elected or enactetLby plur ality vote, is a general participation by all electors in all elections. When the voters, by going to the polls, will express their demand for honest officials and clean laws, then and not until then will the best men in every community consent to become candi dates for public office.

LEXINGTON TEACHERS CHOSEN. Some of the Unclin g ft-rce. for the Lexington school has beer, chosen and it is expected the full corps will be e.ectcd as t-oon as the newly elec ted prnicipal. Prof. Frio Kelly of Athena, can consult with the school bosrd. The teachers selected Wsides Mr. Kelly are Miss Myrtle McNeal, Sth grade. Miss Gladys Ber.pe. 5th and 6:h grades; Miss Audrey Grogan, 3rd and 4th grades, and Miss Pearl Vale, lt and -r.d grades. Prof, Wallace Kellogg, who has been the head of the Lexington school for the past two years, and who was re-elected to the position lor another year, decided not to accept, and he and Mrs. Kellogg contemplate re turning est to l.-.e former home of Mrs. Kellogg in Ohio. j Much credit is being given Repre sentative Nicholas J. Smnott. of Ore gon, for the overwhelmingly favor able report given the McNary -Hau-gen export corporation bill by the ; house committee on agriculture, j While Mr. Sinnott is not a member of the committee, much of his time has been devoted to the bill during j the last two months according to , farm rperesentatives who are at the 1 capitol in its support. ) "Mr. Sinnott is one of the western j house members who has devoted ev I ery energy to the support of farm relief legislation," said George Jew ; ett, general manager of the American Wheat Growers Associated. Hi per sonal acquaintance in the house, his clear knowledge of farming condi tions, and his ability to discuss tht export bill comprehensively, have made his work invaluable. "If the bill passes, and we certainly expect it will, the farmers of Amer ica will owe a large debt to western representatives such as Mr. Sinnott who have worked indefatigably for its success. It is surprising what small knowledge of farming condi tions existed among eastern legisla tors until the measure was brought to their attention, and only through the work of our western men have those from other parts of the Vnited CARD OF THANKS. We desire to thank our many friends at Heppner for their kindly assistance during the funeral and burial of cur daughter and sister, Mrs, Lillian Conser, and for their many acts of kindness and sincere expressions of sympathy in our aad bereavement.

But whether or not you have made this trip, you'll be interested, as a motor ist, in knowing that the twenty-five Pierce-Arrow cars used in this service are lubricated with Zerolene. The man ager of this famous stage line writes: "We have been operating a stage line since 1911 and have always used Zerolene. Re cently we disposed of some cars that had been in our service for ten years, and dur ing that period none of them had ever had a bearing scraped." Whether you drive a Pierce-Arrow or a Ford, the use of Zerolene, of the proper body, will not only cut down your oil bill, but give you greater gasoline mileage, less carbon, lower upkeep costs, and a longer life for your car. FBig users refuse to pay trib ute to the old superstition that there is something mysteri ously "better" about "eastern" oils why should you pay that tribute?
