The American .Legion's patriotic pageant to be produced
here in connection with the Northwest Relators' convention
in July is a most commendable undertaking. It will pro
vide a pleasant and extremely interesting experience for
those who are fortunate enough to take part. It will also
provide an entertainment of rare quality and beauty for the
people of Eastern Oregon and for the visiting real estate
men. It is a community activity of this kind that deserves
the aid and co-operation of every civic spirited organization
in-4he city,. '

v CONVENTION WEEK HERE
' Next week is convention week in La Grande with the
I assemblage of delegates from all over the slate for the
federation of Women's Clubs convention and, the last few
days, the order of DcMolay convention. The hostess club
women of this city and assisting, civic organizations!
have endeavored to leave nothing undone to assure a
federation convention of outstanding success. Every town
and city in the state of any importance will be represented
with delegates here and we are afforded an unusual op
portunity to make La Grande and its adjacent valleys bet
ter and more favorably known, throughout Oregon.
( Appreciating that fact, people of the community will
make every effort to see that a coidial welcome exists for
every visitor. Store windows and interiors will be approp
riately decorated, flags will be in place on the streets,
homes will be spic and span unci opened to delegates, cars
will be available for any and all transportation needs. And
. the highest? degree of friendliness and courtesy will be in

f ti: Grande will seek' to out-do its' normal 'excellent welcome

I ! ji No more. appropriate attitude can be tlesiied. U is not
jj .i' on'y for the clubwomen of the eomniunily to see that the
? j j convention here is a success, but it is a privilege for every
I j;: citizen who believes in his or her community and who has
I l desire to see it gmw and progress. Regardless of wheth
er we may have a direct or indirect part in. the entertain
ing of the conventions held here, the licst and most valu-
aoie impression can be given only by tho enthusiastic i
co-operation of everyone. If La Grande gives that im
pression next week,-which we aic'confidcnt she wil, there
will be untold reward in favorable appreciation for La
Grande's leadership among the cities 'of Eastern - Oregon,
and in personal satisfaction with having shown tho utmost
cordial hospitality to visitors within our gates.' It is merely
