FOR LA Ml
La Grande Is to see another aster
show, similar to the one held here last
fall, according to steps taken by the
Neighborhood club at Its regular
weekly meeting in the Commercial
club parlors yesterday afternoon.
The attempt at promoting aster
culture met with such signal success
last year that the ladies will have an
easy task before them the coming
season. As time for seeding comes on
suggestions similar to those made last
spring will again be made.
During the afternoon the club
transacted considerable business aside
from carrying out an instructing pro
gram on "Civics."
The question of garbage came up
and was disposed of by appointment
of committees, who will wait upon
city and county offfclals In an effort
to make a thorough cleaning of all
garbage In city alleys and In the out
lying districts by the county.
Not alone is La Grande to be
cleaned out, if the wishes of the
Neighborhood club materialize, but it
Is to be kept clean. It Is needless t,o
clean the alleys and byways, If they
are not maintained n a sanltftry'-oon-ditlon,
and the committees appointed
will make efofrt to persuade the offi
cials to make and enforce ordinances
to that effect.
