Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY. FEBRUARY 21, 1917. LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER. IS BUSY for: EARLY SPRING HATCH ;'U Selected Eggs From Selected Hens to Hatch the Winter Layers. Watches His Back-yard Business Closely for Information. "What do you think of the bird3 in this pen," said a ory successful side line poultryman when showing the visitor his backyard poultry business. I have selected these from which to select the eggs for hatching my next winter layers." "They look good," was the answer, WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS IN CALIFORNIA SAY. tf v mm. ffii Arm mm Pasadena, Cal. " I want to extend to you my heartfelt thanks for the benefits derived iffy- your medicines, TWA- also for the Unit ' and good advice obtained. I am a , proud mother. V Uf I great sufferer; i ' three tiuies I was ' Eiveu up to die the last time being four months ago. I doctored with several doctors but obtained no relief. Was told that an operation would effect a cure, so I submitted to one, but this proved like all the medicines I had ti Veil not beneficial. 1 obtained, and started at once taking 'Favorite Prescription. "Four mouths ago the doctors and nurse said it would be a year or more before I would be able to do my bouse-, work, and, of course, I thought so myself as I was not able to walk across the floor for several weeks. I am now able to do my housework and to care for my children and I do not feel as though I could ever thank you enough for the benefits I have re ceived." Was. Mabehk Kii'P, 184 South Pasadena Ave. Why should any woman continue to worry, to lead a miserable existence, when Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is sold by druggists, in either tablet or liquid form? Sick people are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter, free. All corres pondence is held as strictly private cud sacredly confidential. Send three dimesv (or stamps ) for mailing charges to Dr. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y., and you will re receive a copy of the "Common Sense Medical Adviser," all charges prepaid. "but why these individuals for that honor?" "I marked some of them as the earliest layers caught them in the act last fail, others lay the exact type of egg that suits me, and tbey all liave the appearance of good lay ers, arc strong clean and always bu;y. They mostly sing a good deal, too." "But what about selecting the ejegs from such a bunch of hens? Aren't the eggs all alike?" "By no means. Some huva thei exact size, color, thape and condition of shell that indicate good hatching of a strain that vill fill the egg bas ket next winter with mighty attract ive eggs. Prof. Dryden, of the 0. A. C. Experiment Station, from whom I got my foundation stock, considers that the size, coI j1', and shape of shell are probably hereditary, and is himself selecting one strain of Bur red Rocks for a white-shelled egg. I am afte a type with a beautiful pearl-pink shell and am throwing out all speckled shell. Perhaps this is only my fad, but without a fad a back-yard poultry fan is apt to bo a failure." "And say," ho concluded, "if I cun't get hatching all done by the first of April I shall think I have but little chance of getting winter layers."

Higginbotham constitute the board of appraisal. f arm loan associations have now been formed in La Grande, Imbler and North Powder. County Agricultural Agent Spillman looks for one or two other associations to be formed through the North Powder association. A Hint to the Aged. If people past sixty years o age could be persuaded to go to bed as soon as they take cold and remain in bed for one or two days, they would recover much more quickly, especially if they take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. There would also be less danger of the cold being followed by any of the more serious diseases. -t Depend on This YOU CAN DEPEND ON A GOOD CONVERSA TION WHEN USING OUR COPPER TOLL LINES.

D. Lynch Co. North Powder, Oi-c., Feb. 21. (Spe cial) City Marshal Jeff Pearce came in on No. 6 Friday, having in charge Marshall Ray, alleged to have passed several u-orthleos checks on North Powder business men last week. It is reported that ho got about $50 and then some of his victims became suspi cious nnd got the officers after him. Ray had his preliminary hearing be fore E. F. May, justico of the peace, Saturday and was bound over to ap pear before the grand jury, and being unable to give bond was sent to the county jail at La Grande. Ray spent some time lost cummer on his moth er's homestead hero. Mrs. Nora Wobb of Union and Mr. Whitticr of tho Ford garage of Baker were here a few dnys ago. Th Forsstrom-Pilcher stock ot goods is being invoiced this week by omployes of the federal bankruptcy court. A. C. Spain, A. E. Lambert, Vess Dodson and Charlio Pearson were business visitors in La Grande last week. J. J. James and family, after win tering in North Powder, have moved out on a ranch roar Haines. W. B. Saxgent of La Grande trans acted business in town Saturday. Jim Wilson shipped a-car of hogs and cattle to Portland a few days ago. J. L. Dodson has returned to Baker after several days spent on his ranch near North Powder. Mr. Dodson is a county commissioner of Baker county. A car of hogs was shipped to Port land Saturday by one of the local buy ers. Mrs. L, S. Kelsey and daughter, Mrs. Maud Hutchinson, returned home on Sr.turday. Mrs. C. K. White went to Haines Saturday to spend the week end with her "parents. Miss Naomi Spangle recently spent a few days in this vicinity visiting with mends. Miss Spangle now lives in Union. Homer 'Bidwcll returned from Cald well, Idaho, a few days ag owhere he had been on business. It seems that the dances in Wolfe Creek hall are rather pugilistic en counters than social affairs. It is time to call a bait when fights seem to bo the order of the evening and a fight is had every time there is any social. The people of this neighbor hood do not countenance such actions but Buch affairs give a tough name to a place and should not bo allowed at any time. Mrs. Irvii Ilea.? is a visitor with her husband's folks for a few days. Sheriff Leo Wr.-r.ick was a visitor in town the first of the week. SCOUT CHARACTER TRAINING The real impoitance of the Boy Scout movement is revealed in a re cent explanation by Lieutenant-Gcn-eral Sir Baden-Powell, their chief scout master, of the desire of its lead ers that boys shall develop self-discipline as a preparation for the col lective discipline that may be required of them later. In other words it is still believed essential to place em phases upon non-military activities of a sort that make for progressive char acter training. This, it is believed, will not only make the youth a better 'citizen but will be all the better for him as a soldier if the pinch comes. If the Boy Scout were to devote most of his time to purely military training in the beginning, it is pointed out, he would receive only a certain amount of "amateur drill," much of which he would have to unlearn if he were called upon to serve with the regular Army, and more of which he would receive in concentrated form if he were called to the colors. On the other hand, if his early trainers de voted themselves to "making a man of him," he would take with him to the Army the elements of which the best soldiers are made. It is desired, therefore, to induce all senior scou'n to extend their interest and experience in useful occupations; as Ger.errl Banden-Powell puts it, to "become ca dets of commerce." They wiil not fight any the worse fo.- ths?. u:id they will be all the bettor off for it if tiity never are needed in a ivarlike under taking. One of the important a.,f.ilt'es that have recently been add-d to the sc-:ut list has been the control hooligan ism, which recently has iittaine 1 ihs turbing proportions in pans of Knit- land as a lesult ai th . rem- vel rf parental disU'ine from many homes The scouts ,w. encounged to take a personal interest in the yo.mj hood lums. Each scut pledge himself to invite one stieel boy to en;:ag; in the activities of :ie troop ne an honorary member. , ilie adva.iUtu in h.'iving the young hollian ap'oached by an other boy instead of an adult, whose advances might arouse suspicions of future restraint, is quite apparent. Tho business of tin scoiil movement as a whole is then ti see that the young ster has plenty t j do that will satisfy hts demands for adventure without re sulting in harm to his own character or to the peace and order of the com munity. The proijipm of the young hoodlum always ha been a vexing one; the Boy Scouts seem to be in the way of solving it.

The Boy Scout leaders seek to develop both, but they put most emphasis on the moral cle ment, believing that the other is likely to follow as a natural result. The movement therefore will not stop with restoration of peace, but wisely di rected will become a highly impor tnat factor in the days of reconstruc tion. The Oregonian. About Constipation. Certain articles of diet tend to check movement of the bowels. The most common o f these are cheese, tea and boiled milk. On the other hand raw fruits especially apples and ba nanas, also graham bread and whole wheat bread promote a movement of the bowels. When the bowels are bad ly constipaated, however, the sure way is to take one or two of Chamberlain's Tablets immediately after suppor.

It apparently is the same old story; Home people as a rule do not realize the opportunities that are here. The first settlers of this valley did not appreciate the value of that large fertile tract we now call the Sandridge. It was the very last land in the valley to be occupied. A few years from now not a few of those who read these lines will state: "I did not know that Palmer valley would ever be the prosperous country it is." It will be too late then. The opportunity is now. No experiment. Many families have already demonstrated the productiveness of the soil. You know the location, near railroad, near Elgin, adjoining a forest reserve, which means cheap range for stock and free fuel for all time. Come in and let us reason together. Geo. H.
