Today I .a Grande displays the Pythian colors, arranges the altar mid prepares for one of the largest Pythian district conventions ever held in Eastern Oregon. The "brave" boys who have paired two degrees of the work are in train ing for the Third Degree tonight. Their hearts are beating slightly ir regular and their checks are flushed. For, why should so many Knights journey long distances to witness them take the Third Degree un less, indeed, startling features and startling scenes mark Unit degree. Wallowa county, which is full of i Knights of Pythias as a beehive is J full of bees, has many representatives I here, and they have come with the U.lad hand, the Pythian spirit and the 'gleeful swing. Union county points jaie likewise represented, while Red i Cross lodge membership is meeting the visitors in the same spirit of gen uine brotherly affection. The oath taken at the Pythian altar beams from the countenance of the mem bers on tho street. There needs be no haling sign, no pass word, no grip to distinguish a visiting Knight his f;.ce and manner explain it all. La .Grande bids all Knights a hearty welcome. V are glad yon selected I our city for your meeting place and should you desire anything that you do not happen to see, please ask for b and the municipality will see that it is provided as quickly as possible.

The New York board of health has discovered that a family of five, con sisting of a man, his wife and three children, can be "amply" provided with food at. an expense of $7.31 a week. The amplitude of the allow ance is evident when it appeal's that the board's list includes 14 loaves of bread, but only 0110 pound of butter. Nor is there any substitute for butter on the list neither oleo nor jam. Perhaps some of the bread is to be c.umbled into milk of which two quarts daily are provided. The diet includes two pounds of meat per diem, at 20 cents a pound; no porterhouse at such a price. Two dozen eggs are regarded as enough. Three and one half pounds of sugar are supposed to siiflke. In addition, (he list includes t lie pound each of rice, dried peas, l eans, farina, oatmeal, prunes, onions and cheese, a quarter of a pound of cocoa and six pounds of potatoes. As a relief from onions, one five-cent head of cabbage is provided. "If we could devise a plan for in suring such a diet or its equivalent to ail the poor people in the city, we would materially reduce our death n.te," says the report. Well, the first requisite that suggests itself is a cer tain income of $:!.fi0 a day for the working week. How many people in New York are earning as much? How many in other cities? The only fair deduction that can be made from the New York food list is that a large proportion of the people of the United States are underfed and undernourished, even in this period, which, in contrast to othf r long stretches of time, is ca'.'cd "prosperous." PRIDE AND PEACE. claiming an army of a million or more which has not yet seen the trenches, and resolved, if reports are correct. tr, make at least one decisive attempt to break the German lines and carry the war to the Rhine and, if possible, beyond. Thus far the British have had to acknowledge defeat at the Dardanelles and at Kut, and the sling rankles. Pride may prevent them from considering peace on any terms but their own until they have made a supreme trial of their strength Pride is a strong individual in stinct, but as a national trait it is the strongest of all. The travel east would indicate that there is soma chance of "colonizing'" a portion of the middle states with western people if proper inducements I ave offered. Henry (Ireland, the deceased forest supervisor, was a friend to the stand ing tree and in his loss the forests of the northwest have losa a good, true friend. A New York divorce case in which is revealed the theft of secret air craft plans by a woman spy who made love to an inventor indicates that Eu ropean styles in intrigue and high and lofty crookedness are being imitated here. A society which held its annual meeting in Indiana recently declared that the sport shirt that men wear in summer is immoral. But why take the sport shirt so seriously? That peace dove talk in Chicago no doubt resembles a hawk watching a chicken. fY IT n Ti i l mm w am a m x. rv n TV V III ; VcLrpi Cleaning i I j Our new machinery has been installed and is in operation.- It . . j First-class work at a reason- ! able price. i 1 1 i i j PHONE MAIN 56 REGENT IS IMPRESSED (Continued From Page 1) seed has been far greater than the supply, and it is particularly gratify ing to find that farmers arc gettisig high prices for the hulless barley raised from seed produced at the stn- tion heretofore.

Mr. Moore was particularly im pressed with the general appearance of the station. Everything looks sub stantial, is in good trim, looking like someone has ideality and cares to set the example. He feels that state 1 at O. A. C. is to turn out young men and women thoroughly equipped for the practical matter of making a liv ing, giving them at the same time a culture and refinement that will en abel them to make well-ioundcd and useful citizens.

Regent Moore insists that the effort ter of work on as large scale. Mr. Moore says the idea of the Board of Regents and the management of the s.'hool is the giving of the most e fiicent service to the lar"st number possible at the lenst expense. At the last Board meeting recommendations for needed buildings totaled SlOo.OOO. Hie president and the board allowed $5.0(10 only for the construction of a needed experimental barn and feeding laboratory. Henceforth special stress is to be placed on extension service, the carrying of the work to the peo ple. This is Mr. Moore's first visit to La Grande, and ho agrees that it looks to be as good a city as Senator Walter Pierce always boasts of when he is in Corvnllis. In a residential way, La Grande is similar to Corvallis, Albany and Etigope many nice homes well kept, much paving, and civic pride manifest everywhere. In the business section and in tho matter of public buildinjrs, 1a Grande appears to him to be unusually superior.
