' ' Miss Nellie Jeff fies is a new can didate to come into the contest. She lives three miles from Union towards Cove, and was nominated by a promi nent farmer of her locality.

Jeffries and she lives with her mother on the Dobbins place, a wheat farm,wjbich Mrs. Jeffries con ducts successfully as a renter, Nel lie's father died two years ago and he will be remembered by many people in the vicinity of Fruitdale and Island City. He belonged to the Modern Woodman camp at Island City and he was an active farmer of the Fruitdale neighborhood for nearly eight years. ' Nellie attends school at Union and the only time she can set for gathering contest votes is when she rides to and from school on her pony and on Sat urday and Sunday. . . ,. Mrs. Jeffries hopes that herold friends at La Grande and Fruitdale will remember her daughter, Nellie, when they pay their subscription to the Observer. . k If t. . 4ttirr" iiitf.
