WEST AFRIEND
OF PENDLETON,
NOT A FOE

That Governor West Is a friend
of Pendleton and has striven to
help this city. not to injure 1t,
and VIII continue to follow that
policy regardless of criticisms is
shown by a letter from the gov
ernor to the editor of the East
Oregonian In his letter the gov
ernor expresses appreciation for
the editorial support given him by
this paper and referring to local
attacks upon him has the follow
ing TO say:
Neither the unwarranted at
tacks made upon me by that dirty
sheet, nor the aid and encourage
ment given it by a small coterie
of down and out politicians in
your city, will cause me to cease in
my efforts to serve your commu-
nity-not only in the construction,
equipment and maintenance of
your fine new hospital, but in any
and all other matters that will
tend toward the up-building
and increase of prosperity of your
section of the country"

ELECTRICITY MAKES
HOUSEWORK EASY
Writer Says HOusekeeperS Are
Negligent In Adopting
Modern Methods.

Housekeeping is the largest single
industry known, yet it is the one which
is the most backward in the utilization
of modern science toward definite la
bor-saving ends" writes Helen Louise
Johnson in the Good Housekeeping
Magazine.
Referring to electricity as a means
for operating the many labor saving
devices, Miss Johnson continues:
For look what it will do. A good
electric clothes washer with wringer
attachment may be purchased which
will wash the clothes better and in a
more scientific manner than they can
be washed by hand. In our laboratory
we have had occasion to experiment
upon the hardest kind of washing;
towels and cloths saturated with black
greasy dirt. In one case it took us IL
minutes to wash these clean; in others
we have had to let the washers oper-
ate from 20 to 25 minutes while we
have been doing something else"

"a washing that would take two
hours to accomplish by these means
would be rinsed, blued, and hung out
in this time; for when one set of arti-
cles has come out of the washer, these
can be finished and hung out, while
the others are in process of cleansing" :"
Ironing by electricity means the
same amount of manipulation re-
quired as when ironing is done by any
other means. The time is saved in the
steady heat of the fiatirons; that is,
the heat is virtually continuous from
start to finish. The woman's criticism
of electric fiatirons is that they get
too hot rather than not give heat
enough"
