' In spite of the declaration that the production of food stuff is not keejflng pace with the growth of population, .the department of agriculture has Is- . sued a statement showintcthat the Un ited States Is more than holding its own In the task of feeding the people. The bureau of statistics is authority for the declaration that during the fis cal year the imports of. farm products into the United States were valued at . $540,000,000 which was $14,000,000 less than in 1906, and $87,000,000 less than In 1907. That the American farmer Is awakening to the necessity for clo ser and more extensive cultivation of his land is evidenced by the fact that during seven years prior to 1900 more than one-half of the total imports into : the country consisted of farm products ' In the nine years since 1900 much less than one-half of the imports have been products of the' farm. v ; - . We predict that during the coming ' year La Grande will have fewer house ' to bouse fake eye specialists than in the past. The peope are beginning to find out that they are not only paying two or three prices for their glasses v but are poorly fitted and often have their eyes severely injured. The eye Is . a very delicate organ and everyone who has a neat case that comes knock ing st your door has not the ability; to properly test your eyes, even if he did or he did not happen to have the ; glass you required, he would not lose , the opportunity of making a sale but would give you as near the proper glass as he had with him. When there ; are as many qualified and equipped persons permanenty located In this city who are here today, tomorrow and ; the next day, there Is no excuse what ever to take chances with every ; smooth glibbed , tounged solicitor whom you have no assurance of ever seeing again.

A total force of 70,000 fighting men will take part In the military evolu tions, which will consist of drills, tar get practice and sham battles. Pour thousand officers and sixty odd trained soldiers will be the prin cipal participants. In addition 8,000 non-combatants will take part. That "race suicide" Is not prevalent among certain portions of thj British population is proven by two cases re cently cited In the press. Mrs. Bulpln, wife of James Dulpin of Freezehill, Teuton, a nerker on the Great Western Railway, has ,'ust Riven birth to their 23rd child. Mrs. Bulpin was married when she was J 8, and fhe has been married 25 years. Dnrhi? iV hnt!.K of a raalr.tonnuee the skillful little team put out by Vfcn ' c-a ;.f X '",iii-,'nni. tbe defudtrnt.

More than 100 tombstones were da maged, as were many more modern monuments. The heavy metal doors of a vault were hammered and chisel ed. Two arrest have been made. - . Ambassador White's Betarn. Paris, ov. 3 Henry White, the American Ambassador to France, ac companied by his wife, started for the United States today, not to return. All of the newspapaers of France to day print special articles expressing regret at Mr. White's recull and wish ing the Ambassador and Mrs. White a very happy future. Mr. White took no official leave of the Government officials and his diplomatic colleagues because nraettuy "v.'.rs LCvu announced officially regarding his re call. It is even- doubtful if he will return to present his 1 tter, leaving that to his successor, Mr. Robert Ba son, who, it is understood, has arrang ed to take over the present Ambassa dor's residence In Paris. Socially the Whites will be greatly missed here, as they entertained extensively and were popular in diplomatic and the highest French and American circles. While retaining his legal residence In Rhode Island, Mr. White will open a house at Washington and spend the winter there. Washington, Nov. 3. The return to America of Henry White, United States Ambassador to France, recalls a story started soon after President Taft'a Inauguration to the effect that the President Is settling .an old score by accepting Mr. White's, resignation. It is stated that years ago when The Taft's were not so well known as they are now, and the Whites were firmly established in the graces of Fiench society through their connec tion with the American embassy at Paris, Mr. Taft, then on his honey moon, requested Mr. White to secure for himself and wife an invitation to a great social function. Mr. White, the story goes, found it convenient to forget until it was too late, and was not too hasty In making an apology for the delay. "It is along road, etc." said afrlend of the , President today, and Mr. Taft is having sweet revenge, "for it is known the Whites would give almost anything to con tinue In charge of the American em bassy In Paris.

The day wil gradualy grow Into a grand carnival and the night will glow with paper lanterns and fire works. On this day the Emperor shows to the people his lenaney in a peculiar manner. Some time previously to the birthday there Is a list composed of about 500 prisoners, who have been known to be good citizens previous to their arrest, generally for slight of- uiuugui oeiore him. One by one he touches them with a slight wooden wand and they are free. A prisoner thus . freed, if ever again found guilty of a misdemeanor is immediately executed for defiling the gift of the Emperor, which, has re stored them to freedom and honor. 4 LOCAL PLAYHOUSES.
