PAGE FOUR SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1916. GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER LA UNION-WALLOWA GOUNTJES K. OF P. PLAN FOR BIG SHOW! N6 AT CONVENTION With the supreme convention of Knights of Pythias which meets nt Portland, but u few weeks away, La Grande, Union, Elgin, Wallowa and Enterprise lodges of that order are fast rounding up details looking to ward the most pretentious showing of any section of the Northwest out side of Portland at the big show early in August. That a band consisting of La Grande, Elgin, Union and Enter prise musicians who are Knights will be sent down to Portland, and that a special train will be provided with all the luxury that the O.-W. can muster for Eastern Oregon Knights, is now almost an assured fact. In the big parade in Portland, each lodge from this district will have inarching clubs, carrying banners advertising this dis- tnct union and Wallowa counties and the band of some 20 pieces, will be its head. Union Woman Presides. La Granae and 'Onion county has special interest in the Pythian su preme convention which meets at the same time. Mrs. Marian Davis of Union is the supreme officer of the world for Pythian sisters, nnd she will preside at. that convention which meets at the same time the Knights do. Some of the High Spots. Some of the things that will be en joyed by Knights who "go to Portland, Oregon, August 1 to 10, when the Hopes Women Will Adopt This Habit As Well As Men Glass Ins of hot water each morn, helpj us look and feel clean, sweet, fresh.

Instead of Hie thousands of Blekly. anaemic-looking men, women and Slrls with pasty or muddy complex ions; Instead of Iho multitudes of "nerve wrecks," "rundown.," "brain fugs" and pessimists wo should see of virile, optimistic throng of rosy, cheelied people everywhere, i Au InHldo bath is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, a nines of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limenlone phosphate In It. to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre vious day's indigestible waste, sour fermentations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before) putting more food into the stomacli.

Supreme Lodge of the order holds its biennial session will be: A trip over the famous Columbia river highway. A trip through the Columbia gorge by boat. A sulmon dinner out of doors. A clam bake on the ocean beach. The Supreme Chancellor's ball. A night at The Oaks, with pyro- tocnnic aispiay. A council fire on Council Crest. The greatest fraternal parade ever made by one fraternity on the Pa cific coast. Two public receptions. Surf bathing at the beach. And auto trips through the most magnificent scenery in America. Portland is sparing no expense to make this the most memorable ses sion in the history of the Order of Knights of Pythias. It is the first time the highest division of the fra ternity has ever come to the North west, and it is the time of all times for all sections of the district to make an impression that will produce de velopment luter. Press Club Keeps Open. As indicating the character of hos pitality thut is to be on tap in Oregon during the time of the conventions of the Supreme Lodge and the Su preme Temple the Portland Press club has sent out word that it will keep open house for all visiting Knights of Pythias and Pythian Sis ters between August 1 and 10. Its writing rooms, its library and the conveniences of a. large assembly room are to be at the command of in dividual members, or committees. The. Press club never closes its rooms at Portland. Its members are mostly newspaper men, a portion of whom work at night, and it is a rule that their club home shall be open at all times to receive the weary news gathoTer. As a social organization it occupies a unique place in tho city. Its "high jinks" are always attended by hun dreds of the most prominent men of the state of Oregon. Just recently th; club had the liili candidates for county oflices at Portland on tho car pet and grilled them without mercy. When the Supreme Representatives arrive in Portland it is probable that the Press club will have something ar ranged by which the common, ordin ary, subordinate lodge man can see the starch taken out of their dignity. New Features in Purade. The parade committee is positive that, they will pull otT an unusually interesting stunt when the pageant starts down the street. The program committee is constantly adding new features to the list of daily events, so that every person in attendance will have something to look forward to, even though they are not members of the Supreme Lodge. In this respect Portland hopes to exceed any other city where these bodies have met. MusseLs at Sea Dinner. A section of the big sea food dinner at Seaside will be devoted to mussels. They grow nowhere else as they do at Seasido and are a distinct delicacy. In fact the Knights at Astoria are herding and feeding oysters, clams, mussels nnd salmon to get them into prime condition for the big frolic on the beach. Distinguished Speaker Coming. On the night of August 2 Walter B. .Ritchie of Lima, Ohio, will deliver his famous address on "Friendship" at Portland, Oregon. Mr. Ritchie is coming to Portland for the express purpose of speaking his wonderful message of cheer to the Knights of the West and Northwest, and the largest auditorium in Port land has been engaged for tho accom modation of, the crowd that is expected. iV,..lft..,y.i.,,,,n...,, Try The New Universal Tread No Other Tire Like It For All-'round Service The New Micdrlin Universal Tread is an improvement on rubber non el id of both tho raised-trend and suction-tread types, combining t he advantages of these earlier non-skids; AND IN ADDITION this lire possesses the long life and re siliency that have always characterized both the world-famous Michel in Rac ing Type I'lat tread, and the Michelin Plain tread. 7 An' t the Setv Tire Everyone is Talking About SMI' l ull Line of Oil iul A vents Dodge, Chalm in l. c It is a lecture that hus been dedicat ed to the work of the order of Knights of Pythias, and its author has ret used big money to place it on the Chautauqua circuits. No admission chaige will be made to hear it. Get Tickets to Seaside. Here is some speciul advice: First they should purchase railroad tickets to Seaside, Oregon, when the great clam bake is to be held August 5 and 6. Remembering that point will save each visitor $3.00. Second, every visitor should put a bathing suit in his or her grip sack. It will be wanted when the 30,000 peo ple who gather at the beach takes a unanimous plunge into the Pacific Ocean. "There has been no change in the styles of clams and crabs that will be used at the big feed on the beach," said Chairman Gus Moser, "but in bathing suits Dame Fashion has been setting a fast pace. That fact sug gests the two reasons why visitors should bring such a garment along. "It will not take much room in the grip, and the wearer can secure the style that is approved by his or her own conscience." Pythians Entertaining Too. Portland Pythians are preparing to give their visitors the greatest Hne of entertainment that has ever been experienced by the representatives to the Supreme Ixdge, and it will be just as enjoyable for the lay member of the fraternity. t Portland invites every memuer or. the order in the West and Northwest to brim? his family to "The Rose City" and spend the summer midst the joys of nature. Portlund, uregon, is getting i-eaay to "doll un" acain. Portland will be decorated from the water front to the hills in red. yellow nnd blue, not the least portion of which will consist of flowers, rortiana nas ouu mnes oi rose hedges from which to cull her decorations, and which are at the dis posal of visitors. Portland women even suddIv their visitors with gloves and shears, as well as the rose bushes to work from. It is expected thut 25,000 Knights of Pythias will auenu me convention. The large portion of visitors will be subordinate lodge members who will be taking their vacations from busi ness. For the entire crowd an elab orate entertainment has been pre pared. Special trains will begin arriving in Portland about July 30. These will be carrying Eastern people. Other sections of the Northwest will arrive by special trains in the following two days. Headquarters for the officers of the Supreme Lodge will be at the Hotel Portland, while sessions of that body will be held in the Masonic Temple. The great State Armory, where 1000 men march and counter march in comfort, will be the scene of the public receptions. Special committees will meet all trains and secure hotel accommoda tions for all visitors. Auto owners are being urged to drive through to Portland. The trip will bo delightful, nnd the machine will be handy in making trips over the wonderful scenic boulevards which Portland has just completed. A Itad Strain "Several tiorses belonging toV. S.
