Specify - Electric - lights
-For Your New Home-
If you are building this year specify elec
tric lights. It is safe to say that 80 per
cent of the houses built in La Grande this
year will install them. No home is modern
without them. They are as important as
sanitary plumbing.
Good lights are equally important, how
ever, if you happen to live in a rented
house. Your landlord owes it to you, and
you owe it to yourself to have nothing but
the best light. Electric lights are easily
installed and will prove a source of lasting
satisfaction to you. Call or phone Main 34.

MONUMENTS TO THE POTATO.
There Are 8avtral Handaom. One! In
England and Germany.
Although America Is the original
home of the potato, it is only in En
rope that monuments have been erect
ed to honor tlio familiar vegetable.
There are several such monuments in
Germany and England costing large
sums of money and presenting the
work of famous sculptors. The most
elaborate is that at Offenbnrg, which
honors Sir Francis Drake as the first
man to introduce potatoes Into Europe
The monument consists of an excel
lent statue of Drake, rising from an
elaborate base decorated with gar
lands of the potato plant, with full
grown tubers. Several tablets are
placed about the base stating that
Drake first brought the potato to Eu
rope, with various laudatory lnscrip
tlonB as to the value of the potato to
civilization. A similar monument to
Drake and the potato has been erected
at Murz. .
As a matter of historic fact, Drake
bad nothing whatever to do with in
troducing the potato to Europe. It is
generally supposed that Sir Walter Ra
leigh was the discoverer of the potato,
and stories are told of his appearing
on - the streets of London wearing a
buttonhole bouquet of potato blossoms
In order to attract attention to the new
vegetable. , .. . . ( ;
According to one version, the potatoes
were first planted by Drake in Ireland.
The fact is that the potato was first
taken from America by the Spanish
long before the exploration of either
Drake or Raleigh. Pittsburgh Dis

good fortune that bo round indescrib

and enjoyed for half an hour the ex
