BY CARL VROOMAN Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Member National Emergency Food Garden Commission (Written for the United Press) Among the simple, nutritious foods which should be listed on every housekeeper s program 01 Home Pre paredness is the Soy or Toga bean. It is used for human food in Japan and other countries, though not much yet in this country. When soy beans sell for 15 cents a quart, 10 cents worth will supplv over 5 ounces of protein, len cents worth o beef at 20 cents a pound supply 1 ounce of protein. Soy beans contain 2G per cent protein, 18 per cent fat and 28 per cent carbohydrates as compared with 2b A per vent protein, 1 per cent fat, and 62 per cent carbohydrates in navy beans. This now only makes them a fatty food but it makes i possible to cook them without the addition of pork or othe fat. Soy beans can be used in almost exactly the same way as navy beans. To prepare baked soy beans, soal the beans overnight in cold water, in the morning add pinch of soda and boil the beans in the water in which they were soaked. Pour off the water and use it for making soup. Put the beans in a baking dish, add two level tea spoonsful of salt, cover them with water, cover the dis and bake 0 to 8 hours, leaving the dish uncovered dnriii! the last hour. It's unnecessary to flavor them with mo lasses as their natural flavor is delicious. Since the soy bean contains no starch the liquid in which they arc cooked isn t thickened and the beans remain sep arate. If this is considered objectionable, the liquid can oe tniekcneu with cornmeal, one-tlurd of a cup to a quar of beans. ihe skins of the soy beans can be removed by boiling the beans ior ten minutes and allowing them to cool over night in the same water and then rubbing between the hands. .Most persons prefur the beans without the skins 1 hey have a more delicate ilavor and are, probably, mor. digestible when thus prepared. 1 O The Water Question. La Grande, April 11. (To the Edi tor) Our City Commissioners are urging the people of La Grande to use every bit of vacant ground about their houses to raise some food-stuffs. Hut what about water to irrigate with? Will the city furnish the people the water free or at reduced rates? We nil pay our wato ratos during fh winter and according to the city's owi figures the people abcut consume one half what they pay for Now if they ore to Help low;sr the high cost of liv intr bv raisino- 'iimi'in;r. Int thnn have water to ir.-igu'.e with during war time; otherwise tney cannot pro ducfl anything. L.

The present outlook for a success ful Eastern Oregon track meet fiis spring docs not seem very good. La Grande has lost practically her whole track team by enlistments and guard duty, Baker and Wallowa have not been able to turn out for track yet on account of snow and Pendleton is ex pecting to lose some valuable men any day.

M La Grande has the belief that the Eastern Oregon Normal school, if sus tained toy the people will be located at the Union county capital. They may be right about the matter, for La Grande has many advantages. The same is true of Pendleton, of Baker, of The Dalles and of Weston. As to which town the regents will regard with most favor no one knows and it is useless to speculate at this time. Tho first thing to do is to insure the adoption of the normal school bill by the people. To this end all communi ties in eastern Oregon may well join hands. I.et us make common cause until the school is authorized, then compete for the location of the insti tution. The most favorable feature of tho normal school situation at pres ent is the fact a unity of action on the part of eastern Oregon is indicated for the campnign in 1918.
