If you have any doubts regarding the efficiency
of La Grande Beet Sugar for fruit preserving
purposes, a look at the display of preserved
fruits and jellies at the Staples Grocery Store
will convince you that a Grande Beet Sugar
will do the work.

Among other important matters
that will be discussed at the athletic
conference of the large colleges of
the northwest to be held In Walla
Walla early in February; the follow
ing will probably come up, says the
Walla Walla Bulletin:
Besides fixing rules for eligibility,
the Whitman students hope that the
delegates will 'either take control of,
or in some way influence the arrange
ment of football schedules so that the
northwest championship may be def
initely settled each year. Instead of
leaving the schedule making the hap
haiurd choice of Individual managers,
resulting in much confusion on the
iiuestlon of supremacy.
An Intercollegiate track meet for all
me colleges In the conference may
also be arranged. The present system
of dual meets with one triangular
meet between Washington, Oregon
and Idaho universities, leaves the
other colleges' without a fair chance
to nt,ow their class on the cinder path
w nttinan is heartily in favor of a
rule which will enforce the four-year
rule and strict rules against profes-slonallsm.

Dates Transplanted to California.
San Francisco, Jan. 18. Investiga
tions by the Southern Pacific com
pany have gone far enough to show
that the date palm can be grown suc
cessfully In California soil. At the
government's experimental farm near
Mecca, in the Colorado desert, several
acres have been set out and the trees
ar thriving. They have not reached
the full bearing stage, but several
branches have produced as high as
20 pounds each already. Mr. Fee,
passenger traffic manager of the
Southern Pacific, has received sam
ples of both the soft and dried dates
produced at these farms, and pro
nounces them of excellent quality.
