We are beginning id "realize what
It Is to live in a fruit country. Not
a few bold up their hands with hor
ror upon visiting our grocery stores
and note the little dwindled-up ap
ples offered for sale and the prices
of each box at $1.25 then seems out
of proportion to the Quality. Our
grocery men are not to blame. - All
of the cormncial fruit has long ago
passed out of our hands, out of the
bands of the grower and it is not to
be had any more. If you want to
eat delicious oranges, you want to go
to Chicago, not California where the
fruit Is grown. If you want choce
Grande Valley apples you must go
' to other cities than La Grande or to
any other city or town than In this
valley. Only the best fruit is In de
mand for shipment and as a result
the Inferior qualities remain at home
unless we want to pay as much for
the apples and buy them at the time
unles we are willing to pay as much
for the first class articles as out
Bide parties pay.
This Is the natural condition In all
fruit- growing growing sections but
: It Is emphasized mora forcibly this
year than formerly, owing to the
fact that each year our fruit la In
greater demand.
i A review of the records will dls-
close the fact that not to exceed a
score of parents have visited our pub
lie school the present year and this
Is In keeping with the record , for
many years. We parents have taken
It for granted that our school con
ditions were In keeping with other
places and never investigated. Ev
ery voter who may have the inten
tion of voting against the present
$75,000 bond issue owes It as a duty
to himself and the community to
personally itslt thoschocja, Jr. form
. himself of the present crowded con
dition), which will be Btlll greater
text rear, then he will be in a posi
tion to vote Intelligently on the sub
ject There are hundreds of voters
who have never been Inside of one
of our school buildings.
The scientists of Great Britain

mander Peary has suggested an
