LOCAL
Show Not Up to Standard
The Seigcl Stock company at the
Arcade last evening in "Baby Mine"
failed to hit its standard, andothe gen
eral verdict seemed to be that the per
formance was as poor as the show
of a week ago was good. There
seamed to be a trend throughout the
play that was not relished by the re
fined audience that greeted the play
ers, and some of the specialty work
was considered decidedly coarse. It
is unfortunate that the Seigel com
pany played as it did last evening for
it had won a place in the hearts of
La Grande people with the show of a
week ago, which was a splendid little
play and beautifully played. The reg
ular visits of the company to the Ar
cade are to continue each Monday
evening and the show-going public
will be delighted when the Seigel folk
produce again something of the na
ture of "Nothing But the Truth,"
which was the play that pleased so
well.
Looking For a Nice Youn Man
"Looking for a nice young fellow
Pwho is looking for a nice young girl."
surety wis ui-scriiuiun ins buiiio uu
ion county youth. Anyway, better
write, for you may gft a peach.
When opening up a box of peaches at
the E. j'olack Grocery company this
morning, more than just peaches were
discovered in the box, for on the9 lid
was the following good offer: "I am
19 years old; graduate of high and
normal; curly-headed; blonde; good
cook; weigh 125 pounds;drive Hup,
and am looking for a nice young man
who is looking for a nice young girl."
Signed, Miss Blanche Irwin, 2718

The time to supply vour fall and winter
needs in Furniture isKIU HT NOW !
Practically every manufacturer of Fur

fusing to take on any more business until
caught up with back orders.
This means that the demand far exceeds
the supply in this kind of merchandise, and
that someone will have to go without.
By judicious and timely buying, we have
succeeded in filling the three floors which
we occupy with the largest stock and best
assortment of Furniture, Linoleums, Stoves
and Household' Hardware which can be
seen anywhere jiFastcrn Oregon.
