"been unable to secure hay at any
price. ,

Mr. Burchett has two tons left which
he thinks will feed his stock until the
jgrass -comes. N. N. Mason intends to
carry his stock through on mill feed.
Some of the stock are in a very poor

P. Hohn, Jtss Kilenbeck, V. E. Bur

Starvation
War? Not Always so
La Grande people with moderate means shudder
at .the jn'ospeets of prohibitive prices on sugar, po
tatoes, flour and other food necessaries. At first
thought this alarm is justified, but there is a
panacea for high prices in the food line.
PURE MILK
is the solution. Ask your family physician about
the food values of clean milk, and then compare our
price? of $2.50 per month for a quart daily of our
clarified milk with other foods and yru will dis
cover that
You Should Worry About Skyrocketing Prices

MILK.
Think this over; let im explain the situation to
aou; come and 'inspect our plant any time of day
and see for .yourself. Anything that dodges the

George A. White is making a good

Now is the time some of the partisan

Joseph News Items
Joseph, April 10. (Special) Polcy
Boudan had the misfortune to sprain
his ankle nnd break a small bono in
his leg.
On Saturday evening Dr. Fulker-
son, a former missionary to China,
was with us and gave a stcreopticon
lecture in the Methodist church. On
Sunday morning Dr. Fulkerson filled
the pulpit of that church.
Oh yes! Joseph had a fine Easter
or a swell Easter I should say, in fact
everything was so wet that things
just had to swell. The ladioe went to
Easter services all dressed up in their
best rain coats and rubbers. And
after the fine thaw that we had this
week too! Well Joseph has hopes for
next year anywny.
A party of friends were entertained
this week at a celebration of the 17th
wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs.
H. B. Davidhizar at their home on
Prairie creek. Music was preceded by
a delicious dinner. All of their many
friends hope that Mr. and Mrs. David-
America Knows How to Finance a Watf
TITE United States, through the
experience of the warring Eu
ropean powers, has acquired a
tremendous fund of prepared
ness Information. Americans who have
served with the European armies and
navies have made available to us their
valuable experience In the world war.
In the lam spectacular, although
hardly less Important, plinse of tho
struggle, war financing, this country
lias also had skilled observers. It has
not been necessary for them to visit
the scene of the struggle. la o way
the scene of the struggle fans come to
them. Much of the planning of the
financial side etf the war has taken
place within the sound of the chimes
of Trinity church, In lower Broadway,
New York.
By reason of our newly acquired
leadership in the world's llnuucos we
know how Europe hns flnuneod her
self to meet the strain of her tre
mendous struggle. Money Is the
sinews of war. We know how Europe
has kept her sinews pliant and eltl
clent. America, therefore. Is In a murh bet
ter position, from both military and
tlnnnclul standpoints than we were at
tile beginning of any ot the five wva,
which brought us face to fa.v with
weighty economic, minncin) aud social
problems. The problems of the ttevo
lutlonary War. tho War of 1812. tho
Mexican War, tho OlVlI War, and the
SfWilsh. American. War, were of less
magnitude than those which, wo face
now, but comparatively they were
much more serious.
The bonks and trust companies of
this country, through which Europe
has conducted much of her war financ
ing, are at one with the nation's Indus
tries In affording the government the
resources with which to meet the even
tualities of war. For example, the
uuuranty Trust Company, of New
York, has recently reduced to boot
form Its fund, of Information-on war
financing. In a pamphlet , entitled
"War Loans and the United States."
there Is some rather striking informa
tion. One result of our no w position

much happiness.

The two operettas which were giv
en in Roup's hall last Friday night

"The Tndini. Princess" wns given by
the higher grades, about twenty-five
persons appearing in it. It this too

ers who "saw it through" are to be
commended.

taxation would provide not only for the !
whole of our peace expenditure and ihil

also for a sinking fund calculated to
