our
Farmers Arc Pleased With Hoiks
01 Moving Their
; - . . Crops.
The stagnation of business among
the ranchers is about to be lifted
for the Kiddles have begun to buy
wheat. This means that many crops
!n which a great deal of money
has been tied up will more and
the wheels of commerce in the val
ley will be lubricated with the
wheat doUar which is always so
much of a factor in, this section.
Under tthe government rules It
was mandatory for : the grain
(,'rowers to hold their grain and
while there was no complaint
agulns ' the ruling it was working
quite a hardship in this valley.
W. P. Walters Here to
Encourage Y. M. C. A.
i Work In This Section
W. P. Walters, formerly of La
Grande, but more recently of As
toria, is in the city today in the
interest of the Y. M. C. A. county
work program and incidentally call
ing on old friends. While a resi
dent of La Grande Mr. Walters was
employed at the Bohnenkamp hard
ware store going from here to As
toria about a year ago to take
charge of the boys' department of
the Y. M. C. A. at that place.
' -At the present time Mr. Waltors
is a special field secretary promot-
lng county work for the Y. M. C.
A. This is a new department of
association work so far as the
northwest Is concerned, although
hundreds ot counties In ' eastern
and middle western states have long
enjoyed . its benefits. The promo
tion ot county work In Oregon
and Idaho is under the direction
of John H. Rudd, of Portland,
state secretary for county work.
Mr. Rudd was Instrumental In the
organization of the Y. M. C. A. in
Lu Grande, and was .Its first sec-
retary. . '
"By means of its county work
program tho Y. M. C. A. hopes to
do for the boys and young men
of the .smaller towns and rural
. communities what it has been do
ing for the boys and young men of
the larger and more favored cities,"
explained Mr. Walter. "I do not
mean by this that we are going to
go Into every small town and
country community with an expen
sive building and an elaborate
equipment. That would be out ot
the question. To the contrary the
country work program Is strictly
non-equipment, and its success de
pends in large measure upon the
personality, of the county secretary.
"The county work is all-lnclus-
ive in its scope, covering every
. form ot activity in an effort to
make for a well-balanced and well
n'eunded manhood. It conducts a
four-fold program dealing with the
religious, educational, social and
physical activities of the communi
ty and relies to a groat extent upon
a trained volunteer leadership in
conducting these activities.
"The program is financed by a
budget raised by voluntary sub
scriptions. We estimate that
Si', 500 will cover the entire ex
pense of a county organization for
u year. The work In each county
is supervised, by a committee of
' farmers, businessmen and profess
ional mon who employ a trained
secretary, who gives his entire time
to the work."
Mr. Walter explained that the
county work program, of tho Y.
M. C, A, did not presume to sup
plant any existing organizations,
but rather seeks to co-operate with
tho schools, churches, the home,
and any organizations working for
the betterment of conditions in the
community.
Columbia county, in the north
western part ot the state has just
been organized, the first county in
the north went to adopt tho coun
ty work program. Mr. Walter will
have charge of the work In south
ern Idaho and eastern Oregon, and
expects to locate permanently at
some centrally-located point In his
territory.

Don't Always Blame the Telephone j
Operator When You Are j
Called By Mistake i
Wero you ever called to the telephono when another number
was wanted?
When this occurs, the operator, to bo Buro, may have humanly
erred by ringing on the wrong line. More often, however, it is
the fault of the person making the call.
People; often ask for 450, for example, when D46 Is wanted
and then cither "hang up" when the mistake is realized or be
come impatient when the wrong person answers. , '
Unfumiliarity with tho work of telephone dperating often
prompts unjust criticism. Please don't forget the earnestness'
of the operator's effort when some occasional service difficulty
does arise. .

ACQUIRING A
PERFECT FIGURE
Moat women who have perfect
figures did not havo them orig-

A woman gradually takes the
shape of her corset so the corset
' produced by., the most artistic

to secure a perfect figure.
JfDritT Corsets
are most symmetrically and ar
tistically designed. They are
comfortable, stylish and grad
ually mold the figure into those
beautiful lines that every wo
man admires and desires.
