SOCIETY EVENTS OF THE WEEK
STOP AND THINK
It has been brought to onr atten
tion that there has recently been a
salesman through the project travel
ing for a Portland firm that sells sup
plies to our people in the country.
Some of the prices were given to us
that this salesman asked for his goods
If we have been correctly informed,
the good people who purchased from
this salesman did not save a penny,
but really, lost money on the deal.
We want to caution our country
folk to think twice before they stock'
up on any kind of goods now. Prices
are coming down, and when you buy
in a quanity from an outside house,
you are going to lose money sure.
Sugar is coming down all the time,
our local stores selling it for $12.50
this week, and other goods are grad
ually slipping, so why buy from these
foreign houses when our own stores
sell at the same price.
Stop and think before you let these
slick salesmen slip anything over on
vou.
If you want to buy in large quanti
ties, go to your local stores first and
tell them that you are In the market
for so much goods, and ask them to
quote you a price, and we will gamble
nickles to doughnuts that you don’t
save a red cent after you get through
paying the freight charges to Hermis
ton.
AS THE EDITOR SEES IT
Do you ever indulge in day dream-
ing? Possibly you do—most people
do at some time or other,
When a fellow day dreams he re-
veis in all sorts of fantastics situa-
fions. He sees himself possessed of
millions, courted, admired and a pow
er among men.
But he dreams of the actuality, and
not of means of reaching it.
If men would devote their day
dreaming to devising ways of solving
difficult problems they would become
in reality what their minds picture
them in dreamland.
Ten minutes of quiet concentrated
thought, or dreaming, each day—
with the time devoted to searching
for and analyzing the roads to suc
cess in life—would eventually point
out to each individual the path most
suited for him to travel, and would
spur him on to the accomplishment of
those achievements which now he
sees only in his dreams.
Ten minutes each day—only a
small portion of that which is idled
away through life.
Why not?
Quiet simplicty marked the wed
ding Thursday evening of Miss Helen
Clair Curry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George Curry of this city, to Estley
Roy Farley of Hermiston. The cere
mony was preformed at 6 o'clock be
fore a bower of greens, pink carna
tions and orchids shaded chrysan
themums, Rev. E. J. Huston of the
First Methodist church officiating.
Preceding the ceremony, Mrs. Geo.
H. Curry of Baker Sang "At Dawn
ing,” by Cadman, which was follow
ed by the wedding march, played by
Miss May Nell. The bride was giv
en in marriage by her father and had
as her matron of honor Mrs. Ernest
Watkins (Alice Hill) of Bandon,
while little Mary Helen Watkins car
ried the ring. Walter Kenyon of
Baker attended the groom.
Following the ceremony a wedding
supper was served, after which Mr.
and Mrs. Farley left for a short wed-
ding trip in the east, They will make
their future home in Hermiston,
where Mr. Farley is engaged in the
automobile business.
Mrs. Farley is a graduate of the
University of Oregon, where she was
a member of the Gamma Phi Beta
sorority. After graduation she taught
In the English department in the La
Grande high school. Mr. Farley also
attended the university. He was a
member of the Sigma Chi fraternity.
The bride was charmingly gowned
In the white satin dress worn by her
mother on her wedding day 22 years
ago. The dress was further enhanced
by a wedding veil, with lace bandeau
in front, the veil falling over the
train of of the wedding dress. She
carried an arm bouquet of orchids
and bride’s roses.
The tea table was suggestives of
brides, with a dainty doll bride in the

PLEASING PROFITS
Every farmer is in business for profit. He
is interested in anything that will increase his
profit. He knows the importance of good seed
and well bred stock. He has been talking
about it for years.
Thought and a little investment pay big
dividends in buildings as in stock and seed.
When good farm buildings will pay for
themselves in the saving of grain, stock, feed
and machinery in one season—surely they can
be called a good investment.
Practical working plans, specifications and
bills of material free to customers.
