SENATOR . NORRIS TONIGHT
The people df La Grande have an
opportunity to hear a fine orator in
, United States Senator George W.
Norris tonight.
Irrespective of political views it is
worth while to see such a man as
Senator Norris and to hear his views
on .national questions.
He is a progressive Republican and
a national figure and it is not often
that La Grande is honored by the visit
of such a distinguished man.

The New
Horror of Being Away From Home.
(San Francisco Bulletin.)
Traveling opens one eyes to the
melancholy truth that there are few
strange doors that will unlock to any
thing but the jingle of money. When
a man travels he ordinarily leaves
most of his friends behind. No Jerry
slaps him on the back in the morning
and asks him how he is, no Tom tries
to borrow five dollars from him, no
Dick or Harry reluctantly digs into.
, Had Rest Coming.
An Irishman had just got a job in a
munition factory which promised well,
but he was distinctly annoyed to see
the manager watching him fixedly for
an hour at a time. The surveillance
seemed insulting to Pat, and after a
little he could stand it no longer. j

And you'll be interested in the new -Henderson mrid els, for they are particularly attractive, not, only ;
for their ovvn appearance but for their ettect upon y oiira.
The recent vogue of topless, boneless models is passing, and this season the fashion creators' have come
back to the shaped figure, and corsets are now shaped to support and mold in graceful lines. Bust
measurements are higher, and the natural curve . of the waist is distinctly outlined.
We take particular pleasure in calling your attention to the Henderson laced-front models. A
patented protector under the lacings prevents any possible discomfort from this source, and the front
clasps are ground down at the top to permit the utmost flexibility of the diaphragm. A plentiful; use
of elastic. gores gives added freedom over the hips. 4 ' .
There is a Henderson model for every Figure. One of our experienced salesladies will be pleased to

CITY'S DUTY TO FARMER

"What, then is to be done? Ob
viously, first of all, a new attitude
must be assumed and a sense of re
sponsibility, even on the basis of en
lightened selfishness, must develop.
Business men and business organiza
tions must join the other great ele
ments in society and become ctTpctive
students of agricultural problems and
efficient instruments in bettering rural
life. The problems are exceedingly
numerous and sufficiently difficult to

soil improvement, for plant and ani

diseases, for improvement of cultural
methods, for better farm manage
ment, and for better utilization of la
bor throughout the year. The Nation
is losing hundreds of millions of dol
lars through diseases which can be
controlled or eradicated, and under
better conditions the meat supply of
the Nation can be greatly increased
with reasonable Drofits to the pro
ducers and distributors. That this is
essential may bo sharply indicated by
the mere statement that while in the
last lii years we have gained 24,000,

animals has decreased 6,000,000 sheep
10,000,000, and hogs have increased
only 11,000,000.
The Problem of Distribution.
"Not less important and even more
urgent are problems of distribution.
