Cove, and who has a band of 107
ewes, reports 43 lambs already. There
aro not many twins, but Mr. Fletcher
reports that all are strong and husky
and there has only been one lamb
lost to date. Mr.. Fletcher is rather
pleased to have selected January
lambs rather than the usual Feb
ruary time for lambjng, since the

has been so much more satisfactory.

her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry
Hermann on the Island City-Cove
highway while recuperating from
her recent, operation.. .
Illocked Temporarily
Tho heavy wind which prevailed in
the valley on Tuesday worked rather
disastrously on the side roads and
many .of them were- reported to -be
. badly blocked. The road from Im
bler to Summervllle was closed for
a short time, but county road men
had it opened up before many werje

ACOUSTICS IMPROVED!
SPEAKERS in the Court Room of the county
court house have always been bothered with
echoes and reverberations of sound, which made
it very difficult to understand them.
A LAYER of Celotex was recently attached to
the ceiling and a wonderful imrovement re
sulted. Any large rooms can be quickly and in
expensively improved in this way. Call us far
suggestions and estimates.
HOME
THE VALLEY
Mabel E. Morton, Volley News Editor
Phones: Residence, Main 966; Office. Main 600
Cove market road was aleo said to
have been impassable for a time.
County road equipment is oeing usea
on the market roads at such times
and traffic on them has not been
held up long. Residents in the sec
tion north of Pleasant Orove and
around to Summervllle report about
a foot of snow and blocked roads
on Sunday only. They were soon
opened up and travel possible. This
is a new experience for . people in
that Dartlcular section of the valley.
as they have been more used to set
tling down at tne nrss Bnowiaii ana
remaining in until spring weather.
It is needless to add that this is all
very much appreciated.
Daughter is Here
Mrs. Bryan Snyder came to the
valley about two weeks ago from her
home in Idaho to assist In the care
of her mother, Mrs. Fowler. Mrs.
Fowler, who lives on the highway be
tween Alice! and Imbler. has been
ill the lost few weeks, pernicious
anaemia being the cause of her ill
ness. She was reported as being
some better yesterday.
Entertains Young People
The young people in the family of
Mrs. Mary Blokland of near Island
City had for their guests last Tues
day evening two bob loads of the
Epworth Leaguers of the La Grande
church. The crowd - had been out
for a two or three hour ride in two
of Art McCall's bobs and went later
to the. Blokland home for some hot
food. It was a very happy evening
for all, so the reports go.
Having Fine Time '
Word from Mrs. J. A. Holman, of
the valley, who has gone to Santa
Rosa. California, to spend the rest
of the winter at the home of her
daughter, is to the effect that she
is having a good time and is feeling
better. The trip down to California
was quite hard on Mrs. Holman es
pecially since she was quite Hi most
of the way, but she began to feel
better as soon as the trip was com
pleted and now she is enjoying the
less severe weather. She was met by
a relative in San Francisco and the
trip the rest of the way was made
by car.
Eggs Desirable Food
Eggs at the present time are 'one
of the cheapest of healthful foods.
In view of this fact, the home eco-
j nomlcs division of the extension
service ui, ureguu ouiie coiiej-u mis
compiled a list of .recipes in which
eggs are used. Miss Frances Clinton,
who has Just recently been promoted
from homo demonstration agent at
large to the office qf home demon
stration agent In Multnomah county,
and who has assembled these recipes
says, "One egg a day for each mem
ber of the family, especially the
younger members, is a practice tend
ing to lead to good health. Eggs
are rich in protein needed for the
growth of muscle, bone and bipod.
They contain iron, phosphorus and
calcium in usable forms. Eggs are
also rich in vitamins A, B, and D,
to be sent to anyone interested. They
may be obtained by writing the
home economics division of exten
sion at the college and asking for

I'.-T. A. Entertainment v..j
The Island City Pa rent -Teacher
association Is announcing an enter-
i tainment which they plan to give in
' the community church on- Wednes
day evening, January 21. They have
. secured Mrs. Walter L. Johnson, a
: reader, formerly connected with
Gooding -college who has quite a fine
I reputation as an entertainer all over
j the Northwest. Her numbers will bo
supplemented by some musical num
1 bers by local talent, and all In all,
the association feels that a good eve
ning's program is to be given. The
program begins at eight o'clock.
I Win and Lose

j Grande met Imbler teams at that
place Wednesday evening in some
I lively mixes. The La Grande first
team and the Imbler second team
j were victors in the two contests.
Cattle Increasing
i The beef cattle population of Ore
gon now totals 376.000 head with a
tendency toward an Increase in pro
duction, according to H. A. Llncl
gren, livestock specialist of the Ore
gon Extension service of our state
college' at Corvallls. who was in
Union-county on business last week.
The price of breeding cows and heif
ers has increased from $5 to $10 a
head during the past few months.
Due to scarcity of range, however,
Mr. Llndgren believes that the ra
pidity with which beef cattle will
increase in this state depends upon
tho reduction in the number of
sheep. ! ,
Doing Splendidly
Mrs. W. E. McClure of Grange
Hall, a patient at the Oronde Ronde
hospital continues to mako a very
satisfactory improvement. Mrs. Mc
Clure was operated on Sunday for
acute appendicltlB.
Have Party
We almost neplected
to mention
LUMBER
the swimming party at the Cove
pool on New Year's day. This has
come to be an annual custom at
the pool, and this year It is reported
that a carload of girls from La
Grande were the guests. Mrs. Sent
ner always managees to have the
bath houses good and worm and as
the water in the pool never varies in
temperature, the New Year's swim
is quite an event. It will not be
long now, however, until we can all
go over for our daily plunge.
OK Again ' "
Miss Mildred Blokland of near Is
land City has completely recovered
from her recent operation for the
removal of her tonsils.
Have New Feature
Paul and Polly, and their little
daughter, Barbara, characters who
have become well-known to those
who listen in on the "Business In
stitute of the Air." broadcast weekly
over station KOAC during the past
several months, are planning an In
spection tour of the stores in a num
ber of Oregon cities. After visiting
the stores of each city they will tell
the radio audiences what they found.
Salem was the first city visited and
others that follow include Cottage
Grove, Roseburg, Grants Pass, Med
ford, Klamath Falls, Bend and La
Grande. Information for this series
is being gathered by H. T. Vance,
professor of advertising and selling,
and E. E. Bosworth, professor of ac
counting. O. F' Tate, secretary of
the Oregon Rr.tail Merchants' as
sociation is writing the articles.

Farming the oldest industry in the world
is no longer the least modern.
The business of farming- need not be fraught
with hardship and discomfort. Modern machines,
modern management and electricity are making
farm operation more profitable.
On the farm electricity pays added dividends
in comfort and happiness.
Eastern Oregon Light &
went In to get acquainted. The ter
rific wind of that day which blocked
so many of the side roads kept many
of the people at home who had
planned to attend, but those who
could get out enjoyed the evening
immensely. The hours , were spent
more or less informally concluding
with some nice refreshments. Those
who were present were Mr. and Mrs.
Bouy. Bonnie Osborne, Leo Munson,
Raymond Bouy. Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Park, Mr. and Mrs. Hans Hacker, Mr.
and Mrs. Ed Combs, Mr. and Mrs.
Frank Woodell, Mr. and Mrs. J. J.

Quite Sick
Mrs. Storey Morris who lives on the
lower Cove road does not Improve.
She has been very ill, intestinal flu
with a touch of rheumatism being
the cause of her suffering. She has
been ill for about ten days now.
Hauling Hay
Julius Fisher of lower Cove is keep
ing two trucks busy these days
hauling hay from the Clay Fox farm
on tfc Sandridge. It takes great
qualtitles of feed for Mr. Fisher's
fine herd of purebred and grade
Shorthorns which he has on his two
places.
On !olt Again
Mabel E. Morton, valley news edi
tor. Is on the Job again the last of
this week after an illness which has
lasted since a day or two after

very greatly appreciated, and has re
sulted in the page going on without
any break, whatsoever. Thanks!

Faculty Too
Large For
Short Course
The report comes from the ex
tension service of tho Oregon State
college that a faculty of 40 In
structors has been secured to handle
most thoroughly the instructional
work of the 1931 farm science short
course at Corvallls, January 26 to
31. The announcement is made by
Prof. G. R. Hyslop, well-known lo
cally, chief in farm crops, who is at
the head of tho commltteo making
tho arrangements for the course
This sizable short course faculty
vcntlon of the . Oregon Woolgrow
crs" association at Burns. No claim
Is made of any saving effected for
the thirty cars where sales returns
come directly to owners. This sav
ing, however, amounted to several
thousands of dollars If tho alterna
tive of a local buyer's prico Is con
sidered. "Every lamb pool claim was paid
by check. The copies of ail settle
ment statements are on file, as well
as the cancelled checks. The total
money received by the association
was $40,313.38. Wo havo figured
carefully the average secured by tho
pool. Anyone shipping outside the
pool who got more than this average
hit a pretty good market and was
mighty lucky also. So far we have
not found such a fortunate person."
