Oregon. graingrowers, shippers,
millers and othai-s interested in grain
standards are being urged to attend
a hearing to be held in Portland to
morrow and Thursday before repre
sentatives of the department of agri
culture. Portland is the official headquar
ters of district No. 32, created under
provisions of the United States grain
standards acts, and as it is regarded
of special importance to the grain
trade, it is understood that Seattle is
making efforts to induce the govern
ment to remove the headquareers to
the Puget Sound port. The district in
cludes Alaska, a large part of Califor
nia, Hawaii, part of Montana, a large
part of Idaho, all of Oregon and
Washington and a small section of
Nevada.
Portland business interests are anx
ious to make as big a showing as pos
sible at the hearing and all persons
interested in the subject are asked to
attend.
The hearing. will be held to gather
information on which the secretary of
agriculture later will base official
grain standards authorized at the last
session of congress. Suggestions from
graingrowers, dealers and millers will
be invited and will be given considera
tion by the department before the
standards are finally established.

Save The Babies
These are authentic quotations f mm
the booklet on babies by l'v. L. E.r
mett Holt of Columbia unive:?ity and
Dr. Henry L. K. Shaw of Union uni
versity. There should be a warm, soft blan
ket to receive the new born baby. The
body should be oiled, not bathed. The
eyes should 'be carefully cleansed with
a saturated solution of boric acid and
into, each eye the doctor or nurse
should put two or three drops of 2 per
cent solution of nitrate of silver to
prevent sore eyes and possibly blinn
ness. He should be placed in a quiet,
darkened room, properly protected
against the cold, but not surrounded
with too many hot Water bajjs or bottles.
baker School Team Defeated Satur
day Night, 24 to 21.
Baker, Ore., Feb. 13. (Special.)
The La Grande high school basket
ball team won a victory over the Ba
ker high school in the basketball game
at the Y. M. C. A. Saturday by the
score of 24 to 21, which was by no
means as bad a defeat as some had
predicted for the newly-organized Ba
ker team. It was a close game all the
way, the first half ending with the
score tied at 13 all. In the second half
the visitors, by virtue of their exper
ience and better developed team play,
drew ahead gradually, but the locals
nevdr quit fighting until the game
ended and on numerous occasions
came up to wtihin a point or two of
ticing the score.
The teams lined up as follows: '
iBaker Burchtorf and Baker, fort
wards; Brown, center; Coffman and
Poulson, guards.
La Grande Reynolds and Lyman,
forwards; McDonald, center; Larson
and Ash, guards.
Summary Substitutes for Baker,
Fleetwood for Baker, Jasper for
Burchtorf, Lubbus for Brown. For
Ia Grande, Rosenbaum for Lyman.
Time of halves, 20 minutes. Referee,
Shaw.
DIAMOND BRIQUET
Diamond Briquets aro made from the purest, richest portions of
coal veins that have made the Pacific Coast Coal Company famous.
The coal is ground fine, dried thoroughly and then mixed with the
purest of asphalt asphalt with all the light, smelly oils burned off.
This rich, soft mass then goes through massive presses that give
it the tremendous pressure of almost 5000 pounds to the square inch.
It emerges in briquets of cylindrical shape with rounded ends, each
weighing 10 1-2 ounces, and each stamped with a diamond.
Diamond Briquets have a heating value of 13,432 British Ther
mal Units to the pound and extended tests prove them conclusively to
be fully 10 per cent better than the best house coal now on the mar
ket, with only eight and a fraction per cent ash.
What the United States Bureau of Mines Says About Briquets
1. The even size of Briquets permits a more regular and thor
ough combustion in the firebox or furnace.
2. Briquets produce much less smoke and in many cases prac
tically no smoke.
3. They "retain their shape in the fire and do not coke suffici
ently to cut off the needed supply of air.
4. They burn to a fine ash without clinkering. Clinkers can be
formed if all the absolute ash is not removed frem the grates regu
larly. 5. A Briquet fire requires much less care than one of raw fuel.
Suggestions for Getting Best Results from DIAMOND BRIQUETS
Clean out firebox thoroughly when you commence using Briiuets.
Use more kindling than used for lump coal. This will also aid in
keeping chimney clean.
Give the fire full draft until well started. This burns the smoke
and while making more heat also prevents soot.
Check the draft after fire is well started; very little draft is
needed then, and fuel consumption will be reduced.
When adding more Briquets increase the chimney draft while
stove or furnace is open. This will prevent smole from escaping
into the room.
A gentle shaking will clean the grates. Sr
If you have a strong draft carry some Briqueti ashes on the
grates to help regulate the fire. Briquet ashes are light and porus
and the draft can work through.
For banking or to hold over night, cut off all drafts completely
after applying the Briquets. If you wish to bank fires every night,
you will get the ocrt results by carrying a deep fire, leaving ashes
on the grate.

TODAY AND TOMORROW
ARCADE THEATRE
START TO ORGANIZE 100,000
BIBLE STUDENTS FOR BILLY
SUNDAY IN NEW YORK CITY
New York, Feb. 13 (United Press)
A committee of churchmen under
Herbert L. Hill completed all prepara
tions today to start out tomorrow and
collect, organise and develop an army
of 100,000 bible students in New York
for the Bill Sunday campaign which
opens in the big iBroadway tabernacle
April 1.
"We'll have those hundred thousand
men waiting at the tabernacle doors
when they swing open April 1, too,"
said Rev. George G. Dowey. "These
iclasses aren't for the purpose of let
ting faddists blow off hot air. Men
won't sit in a draught like that Sun
day after Sunday. They want real,
definite bible study. By March we've
;got to have them trained and edu
cated so they'll have the whole city
jon the go.
"Tomorrow there will be a big in
spirational meeting of the hundreds of
men we have selected to do this class
organization.
"Another big movement that's on
foot now is the organization of the
business women of the city, hundreds
of thousands of them. Stenographers,
telephone operators, managers, parlor
and nurse girls, all women who are
working for a living, including scrub
women. "These women are being organized
by 300 of the finest women in this
town. Among those who have taken
the pledge to take off their hats and
get dawn and dig are such women as
Mrs. John I). Rockefeller Jr., Mrs. L.
W. Stotcsbury, Mrs. E. R. L. Gould,
Mrs. A. V. Schaufflur and others.
"They will organize factories, laun
dries, homes, shops and hospitals.
They will have lieutenant" in every
building in the city.
"They also will organize the Billy
Sunday lunch rooms, wherein three
times a week New York will get
something besides beer, bare legs and
blatant music with its meals. I mean
1t will have a little religion served
with the steak. At these places for
ten cents a dinnor and a talk by Sun
day or one of his aides can bo ob
tained. "We'll have this old town on fire
right in a few weeks. Watch us."
When in Portland you will fiad The
Observer on sale at the Oregwi Ho
tel news stand and Imperial Hotel.

v
Hooks are instruments of tortune
scattered around in rivers and dresses
to make life a misery for married men
and other poor fish.
Hooks are all right if you know how
to handle them. Some hooka are gen
tle, unobtrusive, mild mannered af
fairs that sit up on the wall and curl
their noses and wrinkle their arms.'
You can hang almost anything on
them.
Other hooks ore quarrelsome,' bel
ligerent things that ride around on
the heads of bulls and billygoata look
