alfalfa silage but he saw no reason
why it should not be good and so
gave it a trial. The only people hi
has found insisting on the value of
alfalfa silage have been men who
are in the business of ' selling silos.
Even those men all are not advising
alfalfa silage as he has had letters
from one company' stating that they
were in doubt as - to the value of
using alfalfa in this way.

The first half bad closed with the In
dians in the lead five points to none.
Harvard opened the battle by sending
a long kick to Johnson on Carlisle's
five yard line. The Indians quickly ran
back to meet Johnson and formed n
compact mass around him. Within the
recesses of this mass of players John
son slipped the ball beneath the back
of Dillon's jersey, which had been es
pecially made to receive and hold the
ball. Then, the ball thus secretly
transferred and hidden, Johnson utter

war, and Instantly tne bunch of In

some obliquely and some straight op

directions like the spokes of a wheel.
The crimson players, now upon them,
looked in rain for the ball, dumfound

other. MeanwMIe Dillon was running
straight down the field so as to give
bis opponents the least opportunity for
a side or rear view and conspicuously
swinging his arms to show that they
did not hold the ball. Thus, without

Charity Begins
At Home
There will doubtless be a few families who will
spend enough money this Christmas, on friends and
and near friends under the mock disguise of duty
to make the first payment on a home.
Do you realize how rapidly La Grande is be
coming acity of homes. Look about you, you can
count a dozen or more of your friends who only a few
years ago were tennants.
Don't chill the home getting germ, let it de
velope and start the new year right. La Grande is
not booming but it has a steady substantianl growth.
Lots are worth double to day what flhey were three
years ago in many sections of thia city.
"While we have been recognized for years as the
pay roll city, our payrolls have annually inoretusetl
with our growth.
An investment in a La Grande home means a
profit, not a loss.
I have several choice properties that are prieed
light and much of it on very reasonable terms.
No excuse for paying rent year after year. You
could have bought several years ago. Paying fo
a home is a pleasure not a burden.
