Girdler took the stand that vocational
work should be entirely elective for
the reason that any amount of train
ing in a manual way would be futile
for those who have neither the inclin
Btion nor the aptitude for such work.
This view was opposed by Prof.
Hampton, of Pendleton. Superin
tendent Churchill sustained in the
main the remarks of Mr. Girdler.
Principal Gene Hall of North Pow
der showed the impracticability of
military training as a part of high
school work. Many of the smaller
high schools have not sufficient en.
rollment to justify special instructors
and the expenses of equipment would
lie out of the question, and, finally,
that all that could be done in this di
rection would not in the end produce
a training that would be efficient in
ease of actual neod.
The final paper was by Prof. E. E.
Grant, of Union, on the subject of
"Admission in the High School" which
was very ably handled.
The informal addresses and partic
ipation in the various discussions by
Superintendent Churchill added very

in years, according to many fanners
who rtiave had occasion to make tests.
A number place the depth of the moU

enough stored up now to insure two
good crops.
The greater part of the moisture in
the unprecedented snows has seeped
into the ground, especially upon the
lands wftiere there is little or no slope.
The snow has gone off eo graudally
that little of the water has had a
chance to run off into the streams.
So wet is the ground, particularly
that in summer fallow, that it is al
most a mire. Billy Ferguson, well
known farmer of Athena, brought in
a story yesterday that gave some in-

From the Experience of La Grande
People.
We are fortunate indeed to be able
to profit by the experience of our
neighbors. The public utterances of
La Grande resident? on the follow
ing subject will irterest and benefit
many of our readers. Real this
statement. No better proof can be
had.
Mrs. Ella Lyman, 1307 Madison
avenue, La Grande says: "I have used
Doan's Kidney Pills several times for
backache and kidney trouble with the
best results. I have also noticed
their good effect in another case of
kidney weakness in my family. We
have never found anything else that
acted as quickly and thoroughly on
the kidneys as Doan's Kidney Pills."

'.would only delay shipments at the
eastern seaboards. New York and,
Boston. With the grain in the bulk
the loads are dumped direct to the
ships from the cars. While the
consignments are only as far east
ward as Omaha all this grain is in
reality for export either from Boston
or New York.
There are no facilities for cleaning
and unsacking the grain at the export
points so this is done at La Grande
and the process involves a considerable
work and incidentally distributes a
good deal of money in the comjnunity
in the way of wages.

Explains Details of Wheat Cleaning

Frank Owsley is over from Colfax,

Mr. Owsley has for many years been
representative for the Kerr-Gifford

his company that are now being ship
