For Your Stomach's Sake
This Advice Certainly Holds Good with Everyone
This Sort of Weather
Soda served at our fountain is more than a
tasty thirst-quenching beverage. ' It is tonic and
refreshing and every glass a strengtheher for
the stomach.
Our Soda is absolutely pure, strengthening,
reviving, refreshing and healthful. It "lands di
rect" on the "dry" spot and quenches thirst as
nothing else will, because we serve it at just the
right temperature.

LA GRANDE, OREGON
HERE HAUDFUL
AT OJSSjilEETIIIC
APPOINTMENT OF COMMITTEE f HIS
CIPAL BUSINESS OGNE
BUSINESS MEN INTERESTED ,
BUT SEEM LETHARGIC.
Only a Few ButilnctM Men Attend Ui

- uuuu in.mxi iiowever, " m Careful
Canvass of Uo City Will Be Made
for Concensus of Opinion Another '
MeeUny Touljjht to Take Final Ac-
, Uon, Fttvurable or Otherwise.
There was but a mere handful of
business men present at the meeting;
last night in the Commercial club par
lors to .'decide ' whether or not the
business Interests desired to anaunJa
the necessary responsibility . of con
ducting a county fair in the city.
Those who were present soon be
came quite Enthusiastic and a commit
tee consisting of Messrs. Fred Getbel,
of . the Fair Store. Charles Clementa,
of the People's Store, and Ed Selder,
will visit a number of the busl-r
nesa men today and see if mors inter
est Is not, forthcoming.' , . 4
If jiie city takeB a hold of this mat
ter with enthusiasm, we can .make ti
one of the most successful falrs held
for years, but If we do not go in to
win we had better let It alone.
' With the $1000 donated by the state
what the business men would sub
scribe, and the gate receipts, we would
have finances sufficient to give tha
people something worth their while.
Of cours. the details would all
have to be "carefully worked out by
the executive committee. It has been
suggested that one day be devoted to
Aster day, under the auspices of tha
Ladles' Neighborhood club. Poultry
day and Baby day might occupy at
tention on other days." A stock shovr
and something of Interest all of ther
tlme would make a good program,
Pnzes of Buch a nature that would
permit care and pains and expense on
the part of exhibitors should be given.
The faet are, It has been so long '
since farmer friends , really took
enough Interest In the fair to siioW
what they could do, that under proper
management and, co-operation ' they
would elmply surprise themselves.
Thlt fair proposition Is capable of
being worked to a great success, but
uuli'Ns It Is gone into with the proper
spirit, let us p.i's it by. It is our
move. ' Come out tonight, Mr. fiusl
nens Man, and talk It over.
