WELCOME, KMC UTS.
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

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.

REGENT IS IMPRESSED

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

culture and refinement that will en
abel them to make well-ioundcd and
useful citizens. He made the state

others returned to the farm and went
into business for themselves.
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.
