There is a
Certain Rule

in advertising which says: $50
ahead and advertise your
goods. Never mind what your
competitors say"
We think that Is a good rule,
but all rules have exceptions.
So we are going te say a word
about the statement that ''pure
food talk is silly.''
We want to stop just a
minute right here, however,
and say that Blanke's Roasted
Coffee is the very best coffee
on this earth. 81 will buy four
pounds of it. Nobody in this
place sells it but US.
Our Silly Talk:
We have good deal to say
about pure food because it's a
most important matter. Good
health is out Of the question if
the food isn't pure. Even our
state legislatures pass laws
against impure articles, but
those laws don't accomplish
much. AS high authority as
the Bible saws: .sCleanliness ia
next to Godliness, ".and if pure
food talk is silly, then the Bible
must be silly.
We don't know whether other
grocers sell pure food or not,
but we do know that what we
sell can be depended upon for
for purity every time.
People who think that pure
food talk is not silly are invited
to patronize our grocery.

ports which indicate more or less
frost here during the growing months,
says the Lake County Examiner.
1t Is a singular and unexplained fact
Of this climate that frosts, which
would utterly ruin anything in other
sections of the country, do not In the
least injure any plant life here. Since
the writer came to Lakeview we have
noticed one frost early in the morn
ing and viewed the same with
alarm" only to be laughed at by the
old timers. When we expected to see
black cucumber vines, dropping fruit
and the like, everything came out as
clear and bright as IL there were no
such thing in the world as Jack
Frost.
The loaded cherry, apple and other
trees at present all bear testimony
that they are immune from white
frost, and the great thrifty truck and
garden patches would be the envy
OF the world anywhere.
The government of the United
States is certainly "mistook" There
is no such thing as "killing frost" in
the Goose Lake valley. though there
is an occasional inoucuos white frost
that does just the damage that light
shower of rain would effect-no more,
no less.
Such reports are misleading and
should be corrected by the officials
In charge of such government work

The Servant Girl In Germany.

In most German households there is
no such thing as the strict division of
labor insisted on here. Your cook will
be delighted to make blouse for you,
and your nurse will turn out in the
dining room, while your chambermaid
will take the child for an airing If you
order 1t so. They are more human in
their relation to their employers. The
English servant fixes gulf between
herself and the most democratic mis-.
tress. The German brings her intimate
Joys and sorrows to a good herrschaft
and expects their sympathy.
When girl has bad luck and en-.
cages with bad herrschaft she is
worse Off than In England because she
is more In the power of her employers
and Of the police than she would be
here. She has to have dienstbuch,
an official book in which her age and
personal appearance are registered. In
this book her employers write her
character. 1t is under the control Of
the police and has to be shown to them
when she leaves and when she enters
a situation. 1t is hardly necessary to
say that when a girl does anything
seriously bad and her employers record
1t In the book the book gets "lost."
Then the police interfere and make 1t
extremely disagreeable for the girl

Extension Into WallOWa County Goes
on Rapidly.
La Grande, Ore, July 31.-Slow
but sure progress Is being made in
the extension Of the Elgln branch OF
the o. r. & y. toward Wallowa. A
report from the front received last
might stated that the track is now at
the fish hatchery which Is about 10
miles from the crossing Of the Grand
Ronde river, and but little more than
mile below the bridge.
Track laying has been progressing
at the rate Of about $500 feet per day,
which is not a record breaking speed,
but at the same time counts as the
days go by. It Is said that the end Of
the track will be at the Wallowa
bridge, otherwise known as "Minam,"
by Sunday. Word received from diff
ferent points beyond the steel gang
are all to the effect that good pro-
gress is being made and the work Is
being rushed as rapidly as the means
at hand will permit.

HOT ONCE MORE.
Threhsing Outfit Leaves Its Mark on
Softened Pavement.

SOIteneu HaVement.
It has been hot in Pendleton again
today, the thermometers running up
to 105 in the shade this afternoon.
During the past few days the weather
has been growing warmer gradually
and the threat of another hot spell is
driving many people to the mountains
or the coast.
The warm weather makes the btu
lithic pavement very soft and a
threshlng outfit that traversed several
blocks of Mani and Court streets to-
day left ploughed trail behind The
outfit was driven by Guy Wyrick and
came across the Main street bridge.
Mr.. Wyrick said he was unable to
make the turn up Water street and
had to drive up to Court.
But there is rigid ordinance for
bidding heavy machinery or trucks
from using the paved streets to their
injury and unless observed strictly
prosecutions will follow.

WHY WARS ARE SHORT.

Nations nowadays settle their DIFF
ferences in months instead OF years.
Our war with Spain lasted little
over three months, the South Afri-
can about fourteen, the Russo-Ja-
panese year and u half Turkey
was not long In adjusting matters
with Greece few years ago, the
Chinese and japanese were at war
nine months and the Russo-Turkish
unpleasantness in 1877 lasted about
IL months, writes Chicago News.
For the shortening OF the period
of, warfare mans moral improve
ment has not been responsible, nor
can II be said that man has deterior-
ated in stamina or that stubborn
doggedness which prolongs fighting
and simply refuses 10 see defeat
when &C stares one In the face.
Fighting is a good deal more eXpcn-
sive now than in the old days. Sol
diers and ships drain the treasury.
War Is becoming more and more a
matter of the pocketbook. Modern
death-dealing machines. with theiI
terrific destructive powers, help t6
cut wars short.
