It is well known by all that this is the plan which seenis to be able lo snatch the wheat grower from bank ruptcy, and wjtlL.a resource as largo as wheat growing is in the Grande Konde valley, it behooves everyone to take the propei'irkerest. ; This means that every business house and professional office in the city should be represented. The speakers who will be present will give all details relative to the new move ment and will answer any and all questions, i ' La Grande as a community has an opportunity to not only inform itself on the wheat situation, but it also, has an opportunity to aid the success of the plan very materially.

No help was summoned from nearby towns due to the fact that the fire had reeeived such a start that it was realized that by the time help had nrrived, it would prove useless.

It is a derivation of the Latin word "stylus," meaning a writing instrument, a written foim, or a mode of expression. It is also a quality in man that expresses his character; that is why, you should be so particular in your selection of clothing, to choose the styles that will not detract from your individual personality. First of all, you should con sult an authority on style to ascertain the proper mode of the season.
