PATTISON BROTHERS GROCERY WELSH TROOP COMING HERE TWENTY MEN'S VOICES TO PER FORM APRIL 6 Royal Gwent Welsh Singers Will Be Attraction At M. E. Church La Grande ia to hear the Royal Gwent Welsh singers of 20 men's voices, that splendid organization be ing booked ihtere April 6th. Preliminary announcements of this musical number have been received in La Grande. ' The fame of Welsh choral sinc-ine became world wide, when in 1872 a mixed choir consisting mainly of Welsh village folk, under the leader ship of Caradog (Griffith RWys Jones) won the Crystal Palace Company's $5,500 challenge trophy and a cash prize of $500. This fame was en hanced in the following year, when the same dbbir under the same lead er again won the trophy, beating the London choir, known then as the Paris Prize Choir, under the leadership of Mh Proudm.in. The sons of the prin cipality have ever since maintained -the fame and ever enhanced the standard established and set by the Crystal Palace victories. Of all the Welsh Musical organiza tions, the Royal Gwent Welsh Sing ers lias been the first and foremost, not only to maintain the fame, but to set a standard to Welsh or any other choral singing that has never yet been excelled. The visits of the Royal Gwent Welsh Singers is 'by no means a new venture. Indeed, it is now a matter of history. Americans were first thrilled by these singers from the land of song as early as 1893, when two Welsh choruses from Wales won first Txrizes at the World's Fair, Chi cago. The Royal Welsh Gwent Sing ers stands and sings before the world itoday as the unsurpassed .or ganization of its kind, and, incident ally, as the standard bearelr through all lands of the superiority of the Welsh nation as a nation of singers. at would be a difficult task, indeed, ito analyze this fact, but it can be realized more easily by attending their concert in this city.

March 28. Today is the day America's millions of suffs and anti-sviffs are to learn whether the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment to the federal constitu tion, which Representative Carlin of Virginia dubs "Cock Robin," is dead or alive. . "We have killed Cock Robin," was Carlin's succint comment recently aa he emerged from a sub-committee meeting of the House Judiciary com mittee, which was. to decide whether "Cock Robin" should fly on through the halls of Congress to "possible vic tory, or die at the hands of the sub committee's "bow and arrow". "Not so," said the auffs; and scur. ried around to get another vote on the bird, saying they believed ,fC.Rls" enemies on the committee had trfed to do away with him in the absence of hia subcommittee friends. Today Cock (Robin, pronounced by officialdom to be dead, dead, dead; and his lady friends, the suffsi who simply won't belive it; and the August Keepers of the Shroud. the House judiciary committee mem bers all met today to decide if a post mortem or something was in order. " If Cock Robin otherwise the Susan .B Anthony suffrage amendment is found dead thererlV be no necessity of voting on him, of course, until after the next general election. But if he is aive, 21 solemn and enduring aye and no votes must be cast and recorded over him. THE FORUM No Bonds For Him Alicel, Ore. March 26. To Editor Observer: I Wave read the articles both for and against bonding Union County to build hard surface roads, and I want you to know that I am op posed to the bonding idea. I believe the people of this county will de feat such a movement by a large ma jority. . R. C. PLASS. A Quarter's Worth ' The kindly old Squire was giving a little treat to the village school child ren. After tea he stept on to the plat form and announced, with a beaming smile: "Now I am going to perform cortain actions and you must guess what pro verb they represent. The boy or girl who succeeds first will receive a quar- !etr." . . ; ' That did it. Instantly every eye was Ifbot on him. First of all, the old man lay down on the platform. Then one man came forward and tried in vain to lift him. Two others came to his aid, and be tween them the suceeded in raising the squire. . . ... . The actions were meant to reprvs. ent the motto, "Union is Strength." When they had finished, tho squire stept forward and asked if any child had solved the! puzzle. At once a grubby hand shot up and an eager voice squeaked: "Let sleeping dogs lie.'T Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. 'Noon Hour Renews Youth County Should Stay out of Debt Cove, Ore. March 25. To Editor Observer: Have read with extreme satisfaction your comment on articlo favoring the bonding of Union County for ihiard surface roads. Your state ments are unanswerable. Now. it may foe that I am one of the "moss covered posts.'" I am one of those 53 year settlers cf Cove who built one of the besit 160 acre farms in the county. If this bonding issue comes up be fore the people at the coming elect ion rt will be 'badly defeated. 1 am one of those that is opposed to any kind of county indebtedness, bonded or otherwise. Let me do a little fig uring. A demand is made for $400,- 000 to hard surface thirty miles of road. I believe there is more than 1000 miles of road in Union county. Now, to surface all roads alike would require something like 20 million dollars. 'But to save the face of the question (the laterals are to have the black dirt roads. Let us see how this works. A farmer who lives on a ten mile dirt road will have to mill his load over a mud road as it is to day: Union county has good roads during the summer and fall, and most of tho winter. The heavy hauling is done in the fall when the roads are good. In conclusion let me say, 1 am 76 years old and very pro una to be one of those "posta." U. iWJKJtiKSL,;! O. A. C.

The effect of an hour's letdown in the middle of the dby is seen in their hale and well kept looks. The only man in town who resem bles a hmlried and driven city man is Bill Stubby, the town disgrace. Bill is thin and nerve-racked, and hts expression is that of a hurried crea ture. IBut his fellow-citizens, Will iam ' Stiles, the drygoods merchants Abner Soles, the shoe dehlor; Peter Hacks, the butcher and Messrs Shel ves and Spyce, who run the Joyville grocery are stout and hearty and comfortable. If city men took an liour at noon to eat and rest, the tresultrng commercial stagnation would doubtless wreck the country. iBut there would be less Amerkanitis. When Adam first fell into the wat er the human race took a step far ward. Civilization and bath tubs now hand in hand. Authorities may vary in discussing the merits of the hot bath, the tepid bath and the. cold bath, but they all agree in the abstract that bathing is necessary to good health and a prime promoter of self respect. The removal from the skin of the ac cumulation of refuse matter is the primary reason for the bath. It is essential to good health that the skm be kept in proper condition, as it auto maticauy regulates the heat of the body, permitting it to cool off when it becomes too warm and keeping heat in when it becomes too cold. It as sists the lungs and kidneys in the dis posal of refuse matter. When the skim sweats it assests the kidneys, When not to0 heavily clothed it re spires and helps the lungs. A bath should not be taken too near meal time. There is a normal attraction of the blood toward the stomach aft er eating; any interference with this and the attraction of the Wood to ward the surface of the body is apt to arrest digestion. Warm 'baths have a soothing effect and often are prescribed for nervousness. The' tepid bath can do no harm. Cold batjhg are stimulating but are apt to be in jurious if the heart action is not strong enough to permit of a iready reaction. To some individuals the shock to the nervous system is 50 great that they cannot accustom tfciemselvos to cold baths. Boys 'In Their Teens In Army Douglas, Ariz., March'- 19. Five hundred troops of the de facto gov ernment, mostly boys of from four teen to eiirhteen years old, arrived at Agua Prieta, opposite here today.
