THAT ASTEB SHOW.
Backed by the women of La Grande
who never start anything they can't
finish and finish right, and art known
always to be able to "do" things, the
annual aster show It to be held short
ly. This may be contrary to general
report but the fact remains there will
be an aster show again and ' the
women who do these things have nev
er thought of giving up. They are
Just now preparing to name the right
place, the right time and the right
program so that when It la held It will
be Just a right proposition. Leave
it to the women to do things and they
will alwayt be done. There It tome
discussion of making a sweet pea
show in connection, all of which Is
Just, right and proper. The two plants
mingle pretty nicely especially when
it Is the product of La Grande soil and
the fruit of La Grande propogation.
Did you ever stop to think that the
real value of a rose, or a plant or any
thing to be admired for its beauty or
its possibilities in the beauty line de
pends to much on the manner of itt
culture? Well It does and La Grande
folk have cultured asters as the city's
rose garden standby so long that
scores have become proficient, many
experts. The aster show always brings
to the front the best the city produces,
hence let It be brought forth. The
day will be announced, the women
will take care of the rest except to
drag the uninitiated or disinterested ( From parg COmet the announce

CALAMITY HOWLERS VAMOOSE.
The size of the crowds in La Grande
today Is but a slight token of the pros
perity of the valley. People don't go
to circuses when they are "broke" be
cause so few get comps. When you
see a circus tent crammed with ten to
fifteen thousand people in a email city
like La Grande it means that there are
prosperous people In that vicinity; I;
meant the residents have money
enough to take their families, big or
small, and that they can find time to
go. Anybody starting a calamity

A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion
THrasands are unable to digest cer
tain .kinds of food. In most cases it is
not the fault of ths food, nor the stom
ach. It Is probable that the stomach
has been abused. Many resort to pre
digested foods and various kinds of
medicines to get relief from dypepsia,
Indigestion and heartburn, but without
permanent benefit.
If your stomach was in perfect con
dition, you would not need medicine to
digest the foods you eat Jayne's Tonic
vermifuge is a stomach regulator. It
Sets uie stomach in such a condition
uiat it will digest food, without other
assistance. It overcomes the acidity
