July 13 the national coun cil of Congregational churches will pass through La Grande about noon, east bound; July 17 a s)eeiiil train of Elks, enroute ;home to Fort Worth, Texas, will be in La Grande about the noon hour; on July 20th Elks from New Hiivon, Conn., will pass ' through, again at about the noon hour; a few hours later will come a special train from New Orleans, carrying Elks just about July 21st, 600 Middlewestern homeseekers will sjiend the. best part of a day in this valley. These are but a few of the visitors that will crowd through La Grande during a fortnight. They must have aCtention and it is high time La Grande com menced to prepare. It is going to mean a great deal of work, liberal donation of time and gas by auto owners, for auto rides are always a popular means of entertainment. sae UNKNOWN PERSON OS !

Can people of l& Grande assure us there is more happiness here now than there was when the family circle encompassed the reading lamp; when some member of the family read aloud a beautiful story, a lecture, or, perhaps, the Holy Bible? Is there a man who will arise and say that progression of the right kind has been achieved when, Instead of the family circle, we hurriedly eat the evening meal and 'the family scatters like sheep. . Perhaps mother and father hover ove'r a card table until midnight, sons ami (laughters have their fraternities, shows, pool rooms, or automobile spin. Does it outclass the night when wisdom, mirth nnd good nature prevailed with per haps an argument on some topic on the day ? Of course it does not ' : When will there be a change of present-day living, for a change must come else o nation of over a hundred million people will continuo this restlessness until something breaks. KNOWING ONE'S SUBJECT: ' .Regardless of complexity, any .subject becomes a simple matter In the hands of the master. Rare gifts of explanation hove been attained by some. J. A. Ford, of Spokane, is one of those who can stand up and explain a proposition with perfect clearness. At the Ad club dinner last evening Mr. Ford laid bare the intricacies of the freight rate question with such rare ' skill that any grammar school student might understand. The complexity of rate structure vanishes when Mr. Ford gets the floor. Several businessmen of affairs came far to hear him, and they probably will never Again hea'r the inter-mountain rate (ftiestion discussed with the clearness they did last night.
