How Much Material
Used by out of town contractors is purchased
through local dealersT And how much local skil
led and unskilled labor do tiiey use? . Think this
over. La Grande contractors use local products
and local help as nearly exclusively as possible.
They live in La Grande, believe in La Grande
and work for La Grande.

much he was worth. I thought it an
utterly harmless way of attempting a
civility. But the scream the mother
let out, followed by a quick rushing
of men with knives from all the huts

offended seriously. A priest of their

guage lessons, was luckily among the

explained to me that bartering in chil

Wedded Eyebrows. .
In Turkey meeting eyebrows are
greatly admired, and tbe women use
artificial means to bring the brows to
this condition, and If art cannot Indues
tbln eyebrows to grow they make up
by drawing a black line with paste.
It woukl appear that the Greeks ad
mired brows which almost tnet, and
the fashionable inhabitants of Rome
oot only approved of tbem, but resort
ed to pigments to make up tbe lack
Which sometimes existed.
Some proverbs state that the person
whose eyebrows meet will always have
good lock, while others state exactly
tbe reverse. The Chinese say that
"people whose eyebrows meet can nev
er hope to attain to tbe dignity of a
minister of state," and In Greece of
today tbe man whose brows meet is
said to be a vampire, while In Den
mark and Germany it is said be is
werewolf. London Spectator. . .
Don't 8ortoh a Mole.
Dr. ' Jean Dartler. speaking before
the French Association For the Study
of Cancer, referred to the tragic pos
sibilities of the Innocent looking mole.
"Scratch a mole." he said, "and yoa
may catch a cancer." '
Some moles were harmless and some
were potentially poisonous, he con
tinued. The only wise course was to
leave well enough alone and resist the
temptation to scratch tbe mole. Warts
and wens should be borne patiently
lest worse befall their possessors. Dr.
Dartier told of a man wbo. by cauter
izing a harmless wart on bis hand
transformed it into a cancer.
Met Its Match.
A cyclone visited tbe negro quarters
in an Alabama mining camp several
years ago. It tumbled down tbe cab
Ins and not one Joist or sill was left
standing. Uncle Joe was tbe only one
wbo came through tbe visitation un
scathed. "Yas. sub," be said, "1 hea'd dat
win' coiuln' through de bresh, an' I
seen it. an I felt it, an' I knew it was
er slykone an' I's de onllest pusson
In dat settlement wbnt could say,
'Heab she comes,' an' 'Dar she goes!'
