But what lie wants most is some fast action in getting the benefit of that money. The wheat market is too easily influenced at present by the stock market, by general speculation. A cure cannot be effected overnight but it should be hurried as Much as ; possible. . That $600,000 worth of food stuffs in competition with local pi'oducts are purchased outside of the home market is not surprising. It is folly to expect that people in this terri tory will refuse to cat raspberries, for example, until the locally grown raspberries come on the market. So it is with other products. But there are two glaring examples of loss that can and should be corrected. In explaining the homo market survey at the Tuesday chairtbcr of commerce meeting Mr. Breithaupt, of 0. S. C, said that half of the locally .consumed meat products were purchased outside and that $70,000 a year is spent for outside flour. These are not seasonal products.. Livestock to provide meat is produced the year 'round in the Grande Hondo valley. Flour id pro duced Jicro and year 'round stocks arc available. Those items are not like fresh fruits and vegetables that are on the market a limited time. And they offer, therefore, an attractive starting point for the committees seeking to adjust home market conditions. - THE OPEN COURT . I'onnrcsi'ONorcN'rs most SIJI1MIT TIIKIIt NAMKSTO THE KltlTOK IP Til KV lE 61 HE LKITIJtH I'KINTEI). LA ;HANI)K I'KOTKST JUSTIFIIOI) Tho stale board in session Saturday in Portland not only justified tho protest of La Grande against several football players on tho Baker high school squad but it went further -and suspended the Baker school from the association for the balance of the season. That there was an abundance of evidence against I laker is indicated by the plain lerniH of the board's decision. Tho Observer regrets that the board deemed it necessary to be so severe in its ruling, though we realize such a course was probably required under the rules of the association. Wo would much prefer, from our own standpoint, the elim ination of ineligible players and let it go at that, particularly since wc think the laxity that brought on the protest can be blamed on a very few Baker men while the stigma of pun ishment must lie borne by the entire school community. Usually in a case of this kind any tendency to be lax on eligibility and to violate the spirit of tho rules can lie traced to a few over-zealous fans outside the school's official circle. Wo are inclined to think that this may have happened at Baker and we are quite confident that the athletic policy indicated by evidence in the case is not one that has received the support or Supt. Coknian of Baker or of a great major ity of its citizens. The whole situation developed because of thoughtlessness and unguarded enthusiasm on the part of a few who wished to see Baker have a strong team. Maker people are, as a whole we are sure, good sports and as observant of both the spirit and the letter of the law as can be found in any com lmmily. They have merely suffered the misfortune f a few leaders making a misl.ike that could and should have' been avoided. For other Oregon schools the I'.aker case should serve as n lesson that will long be remembered. Inteischolastie ath letics are of great value in our educational system when thev promote good health, keen competition d elean sportsman ship. Any policy that will tend to destroy any of these ad vantages c.umot. be fostered and the Satuiday ruling of the' state board will help emphasize that fad in every school belonging to the association.

For the benefit of our many friends and patrons in the, La Grande community I wish to announce the purchase of the interest of Mr. W. O. dinger in the La Grande Hotel and that its operation is now beinif taken over under my direction. I feel that my present investment plus the advantages of the oper ating end of the business well justified my further investment to this extent, and I want to extend a hearty invitation to the citizens of La Grande and the traveling public to continue to make use of the facili ties we have here for their comfort. I expect to be here a great deal myself but it will take me a few months, possibly as long as a year, to liquidate my other interests, and as soon as this can be done I am moving to La Grande to live and rive the La Grande Hotel my entire attention. I am contemplating some improvements in the; building and will make a further announcement a little later as to these, as well as to the personnel of the hotel. We again invite your continued patronage and pledge you unexcelled hotel service. La Grande Hotel La Grande, Ore.
