DENTISTRY
BY SYSTEM

Men who do much work not only
can do it better. but do il in less
time and for less money. That is
the underlying reason for the sue
cess Of DR.. Painless Parker. dentist,
whose name and fame are well
known in Weston. He conducts
twenty-four complete dental offices
under what is known as the +. X.
Parker System thus being at the
head of the largest dental organiza-
tion in the world. One Of these
offices is in Portland, where several
people now living in this city have
had their teeth looked after. An
other new office using the L. r.
Parker System has just been open
ed in Pendlteon. The character of
the dental work now being done in
this Pendleton Office is as high as
that done in the Portland and other
Parker offices, and the prices are
just as moderate. Under the L. r.
Parker System number of dentists
practice together in one Office, each
doing that kind of work in which
he is most skilled. The result is
not alone fine dentistry, but the pa.
tient need not make SO many visits
to the dentist, and what is equally
important, the prices are made con-
s;derably lower. ...

WHEN YOU'RE OLD, WHAT7

Thrift in youth pays in old agt
dividends, and the governments
thrift campaign has the endorse
ment of the wisest philosophers ot
all time. He who bends every
effort to lay by a store of govern
ment securities-the best of all
securities-is merely protecting
himself and those dependent upon
him from the vicissitudes of the
future, when age bends his frame
and palsies his hand. The follow
ing statistics will stiffen the resolu-
ton of the human ant, and should
even give the human grasshopper
pause:
What will become of 100 average
men after they pass the age of 25?
At the age of 35, five will have
died; 20 will be in comfortable
circumstances, and the other rs
will be virtually no better off than
they were before.
At the age of 45, sixteen will be
dead; four, instead of 20, will be
in comfortable circumstances; 65
must work to eat, and the other
fifteen will be wholly or partly
dependent upon friends or charity.
At the age of 55, twenty. will
have passed away; four will be in
fair circumstances; As must still
work to eat, and 80 will be depend
ent upon relatives, friends or
charity.
At the age of 65, thirty-six will
have passed to the Great Beyond;
five will be in fair or good circum-
stances; five will be able to do some
work and must work for an exist
ence, and the other Sd will be
objects of charity from their child
ren, friends or the state.
Ninety-five percent Of those who
live to be rs will not leave enough
for decent burial (unless insured)
and 81 Of the original 100 will live
to see rs summers-and winters
too.

oLcoTT PAYS TRIBUTE

Governor Olcott has issued the
following statement endorsing the
purpose of the Roosevelt Memorial
Association, which is planning tc
receive contributions from the cit.
izens of Oregon during the week OF
October 20-27 in conjunction with
the nationwide movement for the
erection of fitting national men,
orial in honor of Theodore Roose-
welt:
1T appears to me that this move
ment is one worthy of our keenest
support. A high standard of
American citizenship has been
largely maintained because of the
splendid examples which have been
continually before the youth Of our
land in the citizens who have been
prominent in national affairs from
the earliest beginning of our ma
ton. The name of Theodore Roose-
welt, ! firmly feel, will last as long
as American history lasts. His
ruling passion was to be an Amer
ican, and he stood for what was
highest in American ideals. Such
life as his is the kind Of life to
which | referred when | said that
our citizenship had been maintained
to high standard largely through
the examples which have been held
up to our youth. For that reason
/ believe your project is worthy of
the greatest consideration. The
proper kind of a memorial will not
only be a fitting tribute to the
memory of one of our great Ameri-
cans, but will assist in passing on TO
generations to come the benefit of
the example which he has held out
in both his words and in his deeds.
Oregon had a warm place in the
heart of Theodore Roosevelt and !

Dear Lloyd:
I want to write you just a line
about Percy 10th, who opposes Jor-
dan for the senate in the coming
election.

but in this case l feel impelled for
the general best interest of our dis
trict to say something.
have known 10th practically all
his life, and I say frankly, Lloyd,
that he is all man should be and
nothing that one shouldn't be.
1t is true that he is at the head OF
large affairs now, but strictly self
made, and it has made no fool of him
assure you, and what he has accu-
mulated has been done by honest,
open methods. He is simply keen,
wide-awake, live wire business man;
knows what is best for the people
will go after it aggressively, and can
not be bought or bull-dozed.
He is thoroughly democratic, num-
bers his friends among the laboring
classes as we'll as the millionaires,
and is the one outstanding, availa-
BILE man for us.
You'll meet him later, and you
will like him.
Support him, Lloyd; use your in
f1uence, and in him we will have
real representative.

1t is needless to say that Virginia

1t is needless to say that virginia
is anxious to see her solons get down
to actual business. Their work has
to do with new era in the State
that of good roads-and no Legisla-
tive body ever faced graver RESPONSE,
bility or had greater opportunity to
promote the general welfare OF the
people. They have been assembled
with the approval, not to say at the
demand, of the people whom they
represent to arrange a plan whereby
these same people may finance the
big bodybuilding scheme, to provide
for it's prompt collection and its jul
dicious, wise expenditure. If they
e do not for the time being, give this
subject the right-of-way, rise above
politics and eliminate seltishness,
they will betray a sacred trust anG
disappoint a watchful constituency.
These assertions are made without
reservation, for We do not believe
that he people were ever more united
in mind and purpose, more insistent
and eager than on the subject of i'm
proved roads,
We don't often. hear arguments in
their favor, that day is past. The fell
low who has not accepted the gospel
of goods roads is an Ephraim joined
to. his idols, and is being let alone.

price of big far-reaching, carefully
supervised system, provided results
come reasonably soon.

In sharp contrast. to the general
attitude of unrest, discomfort, strikes
and profiteering in the world. is the
action of Italian railway workers
who have volunteered to increase
their working hours in the interest
of national production, This is the
same patriotic spirit which inspired
the italian soldiers to such valorous
deeds in battle. Peace has it's pa
