From every angle the appearance
of hard winter presents Itself. ' Not
necessarily a rigid winter, from a
weather standpoint, but a hard win
ter to live through in comfort. It
Is, therefore, the bounden duty, of
eve,ry citizen to make just as thor
ough preparation ' as possible for
the coining period of 'cold weather
when men by the score will be call,

ing those behind -to take care of
themselves, v" V '
It Is gratifying to know that the
gardens of Eastern Oregon have
been very good and considerable
food stuff, will be preserved for '.."'a
winter months. But the canning
habit Is so excellent; that we feel
It Is necessary at this time to say
to 'every housewife, keep filling the
cans with something.: Perhaps the
family' has not cared for a certain
vegetable In tho past, '. but If you
have plenty can It 'just the same.

The J.a Oraude Public Library
has . received a request from the
American . Library Association's
headquarters In Washington for
more books' from ' this community
for the men overseas.
The appeal , from 'Washington
Btatos that new novels ' and good
western stories, whether' new or old
are most needed. Books by Zane
Grey, Rex' Beach, ' Jack ; London,
Ualph Connor, Owen Wlstor and O.
Henry are very popular. The -Public
Library .announces that It will
receive, and , forward all suitable
books that are turned In. It urges
the friends of the soldiers and sai
lors, many of whom' have already
responded most generously, to give
more books. ' ' y.
The communication received by
the library from 4he Washington
headquarters states, that over 000
000 books have been sent overseas.
The supply is nearly exhausted, and
soveral hundred thoutand more will
be needed soon by the six dispatch
offices which are now shipping
books to France. The books are
packed ut thoso dispatch offices In
strong enscs, so built that thoy
servo as a bookcase.
They go on the docks of trans
port's, in cargo vessels and in naval
vessels.. Thoso that go on the, decks
of transports are open so that the
men may have reading matter for
Use on the voyogo. v All those books

CHAPMAX AND T1IK 1'ARMKIM
:. Mr. Chapman's Voler takos a
rap at the writer and accuses him
r of "straddling''- becuuso we. Inoist-
... ed that tho farmers of llils nation
- are not disloyal. The controversy
was brought on by Chapman, In his
UBual highly gilded manner, endea
voring to clasii tho fanners of Ore
gon with the disloyal element of
the country.1 His attack on Mr.
Spenco, mastor of the State Crangj
: was entirely unfair, and bocauso a
nowspapor hud tho couingo to speak
up 'that newspaper is lubolod by
, Chapman as' a "straddler."
If tho entire state, wus not on to
Mr. Chapman's methods, and if
the peoplo' did not seo through his
every maneuver, his remarks might
bo : consldored seriously. ; Slhr.s,
, howevor, he, Is rocognlzod as the
-watch-dog chuiifed in front of "a
cor tain class of highly-skilled hul
noes Interests, people generally ex
pect to hoar IiIb growl whenov-ar a
stone Is thrown near any of his
pOtS. .'. -. . ,
: Such a thing might bo pfiwlhlc
that Mr. Chapman Is a triflu warp
ed, although ho Is a man o; 'grout
ability. It would do him good to
gut out in the broad, open coiiulry
and eat ryo bread with th'ij far
mers;, it would do him good to nil.
with llio. men und women who toll
on tho ranches' of Oregon, Just j
to show, hiui Unit thero Is no Ovxlri'
to "straddlo";any question wo hero,
by lender ' him: uu Invitation to
ooiuo Into the Enstorn Oregon coun
try us our guest nml wo will to
gether vlalt ; fifty farmers and lot
-him draw -his own conclusions as to
their loyalty.
Come, out of It, Chupumu. Just
hern lino you do not like Mr.tSpono
don't gut crossed up on your vlewa
of loyally and disloyalty. Tho
chargo of disloyal!" r ;:'
will- gather ami learn of .tha Bilile'l
uud Kh tucl)lugs. The. good old
songs will be sung and the houses
of worship will have instilled in the
young, once more the lesson of mor
ally, righteousness nndj Christian
ity. ' j
But after tho Sundy school the
preaching hoiir"WUI Alnd few pul
pits' (filled. Congregations that havo
long worshipped at, tho .church of
their ehoico will moot, sing a few
songs, listen to remarks by a lay
man and be, dismissed. '
This Is not only the condition In
La Grande, but It is the same ev
orywhere In the nation.
It . Is - not ' for us to say ' that
church organizations are too mini
orous In ordinary times,, but cer
tainly It Is a fact that in, war times
such as these, minister's can be had
and therefore churches will not bo
able to continue their great work
cut up In so many units. It Is ap.
parent In religious work, as In ev
erything else, that concentration is
the keynote.
; To concentrate the Protestant
congregations In La Grande would
mean to amass a religious congre
gation that would be a credit : to
any community and be a fitting
place for an Intelligent Bible stu
dent to preside and discourse upon
the proper way to live and tho
horunftor. - i
All that Is needed Is for some
church to take the ihltlntlvo and
start the amalgamation. Financial
support cannot bo had for so many
churches, nolther can ministers of
tho Gospel be found to work ln
so many vineyards. It ' Is, there
fore,' a war emergency lo combine
and ln mass formation fight tho
ovlls or the presont day with one
big church,' forgotting for the war
period tho difforenco In religious
rnllh that is hold by each of- tho
churches, hut striving for the ono
great and glorious principle of a
look, u deurcr vision?
Does It pay to experience tho Joy of
solf-dlscovery, to open up whole con
tinents of possibilities ou one's nature
which might otherwise reinoln undis
covered? Dr. Orison Swett Mardcn

There are still several books on
