of simple buckthorn bark, glycerine,

that one spoonful relieves almost any

Women's Congress Among- Features
of Big Fanners' Week.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, Jan. 16. The first of the six
big days of Farmers' Week at the
Oregon Agricultural College opened
early Monday morning with a large
number of special students, delegates
to conventions, special speakers and
other interested persons in attendance
Arrangements have been made by the
management to have all trains (reach
ing Corvallis-met by committees who
provide necessary information on mat
ters of registration, living accommo
dations, and other things essential to
getting quickly and properly' located '
for work. A lairge number of at
tendants are back for the '' second
term of Farmers' Week and were al
ready familiar with the purposes of
qualifying for admission to tne exer
cises in which they welre especially
interested. , '. . ..' . ..
The first day's work consisted
largely of a conference of good roads
men called by Professor G. V. Skel-
ton, who is in charge of this depart
ment of College Extension work.- A
number of road officers from counties
especially noted for their excellent
work in building , and maintaining
roads, were in attendance and con
tributed many valuable points. The
questions considered dealt with meth
ods of constructing and maintaining
roads, with considerable emphasis
laid on the question of road patrols. It
was pointed out that a great deal of
damage is done roads through neg
lect to repair slight damages before
they reach disasterous proportions,
and it was shown that the only suc
cessful way in 'which this could be
done is to have the road patrolled by
someone who has some knowledge of
mending roads and will either repair

also from the more comprehensive
view of the educational and social re
lations of the rural communities. This
icongress is attended by a number of
delegates representing different ' or
ganizations, state and local, that have
been formed to deal with problems
related to rural betterment. In

It is probable that no motion pic
ture has yet been produced with such
a roster of stars as "Avenging Con
acience," the remarkable D. W. Grif
fith feature, which opens at the Ar
- cade theater Wednesday and will run
for two days.
The entire cast of "The Birth of a
Nation" will be found in "Avenging
Conscience," with the addition of
Blanche Sweet. The octet of most
notable stars is:
Blanche Sweet, Mae Marsh, Robert
Haitron, Josephine Crowell, Henry B.
Walthall, Ralph Lewis; George Sieg
man, Spottiswoode Aitken.
Interest " accrues especially to
"Avenging Conscience" from the fact
that it is the most costly picture ever
exhibited in La Grande. Moreover,
Mir. ' Griffith asserts it is a greater
picture than his "The Birth of a Na
tion," and is his supreme achieve
ment. "Avenging Conscience";' delves into
the psychology of the mind. It is pic
turized from some of Poe's works and
may be described as the human con
science thrown on to 1 the screen in
pictutres.
Thus do scenes float from heaven to
hell. ; (Weird visions are seen. : Even
the visualization of a murderer's
imagination that he can hear the
heart of a dead man still beating is
portrayed. .
Never has Mr. Walthall done a
more notable piece of work. Has mas
terful characterization is set off won
derf ully by the sweetness and delicacy
of Miss Sweet. . . .
All Portland raved about the pic
ture during its showing at the Heilig

ences grew larger doily.
ROLL GALLS ARE POPULAR
ODD FELLOWS LOOK TO BIG
TIME.
Letters Already Come From Afar in
Way of Greeting.
Odd Fellows of , La Grande and
surrounding territory anticipate a
big celebration next Saturday night.
It is the night of their annual roil
call, a plan of fraternal interest
kindling that the Odd Fellows were
among the first in this vicinity to in
augurate. La Grande Lodge No. 16, I. O. O. F.
has laid its plans well.. - Members
from afar, who cannot possibly at
tend in person have already sent for
ward their written greetings, in num
bers. They have come from Illinois
and other middlewestern states, and
from many paints of the . Northwest.
Others will no doubt send greetings
in the meantime.
. .
The roll call spirit has hit most of
the lodges in town. The La Grande
Elks are the newest to adopt the plan
which makes for revival of interest
in lodge affairs to a marked degree.
The Elks hold their roll call tonight.
The Modern Woodmen meet this
eevning for important business. All
members of the drill team are es
pecially urged to be present.

fhe Most Wonderful Endorsement Ever
Given Any Product v
- John Philip Sousa and his famous Band have circled the globe on numerous tours and inspired
millions of people in many lands with their soul-stirring, inimitable music.
Mr. Sousa has been a smoker of Tuxedo Tobacco for years. Recently, at the Panama-Pacific
Exposition, a newspaper representative made the discovery that every member of Sousa's Band is also
a Tuxedo smoker!
Whereupon, the following endorsement of Tuxedo was gladly given and signed by Mr. Sousa and
the sixty-six members of his Band. Read it as surefire and convincing as a Sousa March:
"All the vim, energy and enthusiasm we put into the playing of the J : no 1
'Stars and Stripes Forever' we find in the steady use of TUXEDO." fnV &

No other product has ever received such a re

The incomparable mildness of Tuxedo appeals to
men with nerves the fact that' Tuxedo does not
affect their throats or nerves. And the reason is the
"Tuxedo Process", that makes Tuxedo different
from all .other tobaccos positively non-biting,
delightfullysoothing, re.-tful and refreshing.
Tuxedo will appeal to you for the same reasons.
March at a Sousa quick-step to the nearest tobacco
dealer and get a tin of Tuxedo today. Smoke pipeful
after pipeful all day long, every day, for a week. '
Then you'll know you've found the one cheer-up-and-speed-up-without-a-let;up
