March refuged to go out "like a lion." Tho weather man and the month combined to show proper regard for Easter Sunday and La Grande enjoyed one that was beautifu in every respect; -i ' - jjlu i It was fitting that Myron T. Ilerrick, unibassador to France, should die in the .country and in the position where her served jointly the people of France and America so il lustriously. No modern American diplomat has been more successful in his career than Ilerrick. None has won more securely the affection, the respect, the friendship of the people before whom he represented the United States. Fiance hus lost a kind, competent and understanding public servant. , ' Lo Grando cannot well afford to Ignore opportunities to secure the beginnings of a commercial airport.

The city offering best facilities will profit most by the development.., - ; - ;, ; ....y I WASHINGTON POTATOES "... . 'iu yesteiday's Oregon Journal was an article discussing u.t-iuu consumption of potatoes, with information showing Uiul Uio Portland and other Oregon markets bought Yakima "spuds" while our own potato growers went begging for a suitable and profitable place to Ree their product. The writ er observed that such practices provided an excellent way to build up neighboring states at the expense of our own. 'ihe same situation frequently exists here. Grando Rondo valley potato growera have multiplied until it holds a sig nificant place in the agricultural industry. Grown from certified seed under ideal conditions, Union county potatoes rank with any in the country. They are carefully sized and graded by tho professional growers and offer as desirable a product to the buyer as can be found. Yet here in La Grando we often have Yakima ami Idaho potatoes offered to La Grande housewives when our own' "spuds" are mure easily available. Potatoes are frequently bought outside, shipped in here and given a preference in our local market. They are in direct competition with our own products and with our own farm neighbors. They deny to the valley grower tho specific market that is his just duo. r.nd tho'y 'servo to depress the prices in that market and therefore cut down the community's buying power. If you have never compared a first grade Union count v potato with the-ordinary product shipped in from outside district, make the comparison at the first opportunity. You'll insist on locally grown spuds ever after. Nut that Union county potatoes are vastly superior to those crown in other well known potato producing districts, lint the first quulity potato produced here is much suiwrior to the usual! guides biought into local stores from outside districts. Fancy' guides are seldom available unless the outside grower is un able to find a ready market for thorn in eastern center. The housewife in the m Grande territory who asks for! and insists on Grande Honde valley potatoes benefits herself in two ways. She is sure of getting a letter grade for her I own table and she is directly increasing the demand for a home-grown product, liuilding up that demand means build ing up the income and buying power of the Grande Hondo valley grower. It means giving him money that he will in return siwnd immediately in this community. There is a direct benefit to the prosperity of the ldi Grande territory, while buying Yakima or Idaho potatoes, for example, merely contributes to the prosperity of those communities. Kim) jut where your potatoes are grown, who grows them, all you can about them. It's one way to aid the develpomonl of this territory. 'Ma' Kennedy In Nice New Dress ToMeetSolons PORTLAND, Ore., Apr.
