'tion from school duties.
Arc Better
Word from Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
Arnold us, both of whom have been
HI, is more encouraging. Mrs.
Arnoldus has , been. . having some
trouble with erysipelas from which
eho has suffered several times In
tho past. Occasional - trips to Hot
Lake have proven quite beneficial.
Mr. Arnoldus has not been too well
since a stroke which he sustained
some time ago. :
At Cove
Mr. and Mrs. Harry G. Avery, of
Island City, and the Misses Amanda
Zabe! and Mabel Morton wero guests
from the valley at a lovely party
given Saturday evening by Mrs.
Chrin Bertsch and. Mrs. Morris
Spaeth, at the Bertsch home up the
Mill Creek canyon.
Aid
The meeting of the Allcel Ladles
Aid society which was postponed
from last week will be held tomorrow
afternoon at the home of Mrs. Ever
ett Wallslnger, with Mrs. Frances
Wells and Miss Emma MacAnlsh as-;
slsting. Mrs. DeLohg, who was not
so very well last week, is better now,
her friends are very gla'd to hear.
Have Wonderful Weekend
Frank and Loraine Burnett, chil
dren of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. Burnett,
of La Grande, had a very wonderful
tlmo over, the past, weekend. They
hiked out to Island City, and even
beyond to the home of their uncles
and aunts, Mr. and Mrs. Lee Smith
and Mr, and Mrs. Dick Smith, and
spent the days until Sunday. From
all reports, the relatives , in the val
ley were as glad over the visit as
tho children, and that Is saying a
great deal.
Buying Horses
11. K. Hart has been making one
of his periodical visits in the valley
tho past week buying horses to ship
to Portland. Accompanied by Routh
McKennon, of Aliccl, he spent a few
days also In Wallowa county. A
carload of animals was shipped out
of this section of Eastern Oregon,
Or- v -The
Mammoth Squashes
Theso squashes produced this past
season, and in considerable quanti
ties by Dick and Lee Smith, of near
Island City, are certainly true to
name. Some produced the last sea
son reached an unusual size, one of
them furnishing the object for a
very enthusiastic contest in the fall
at the Island City store. It Is said
that Mr. Smith received the seeds
some years ago from an old Portu
guese, Antone Vey, who lives in the
vicinity of Pendleton, and who very
carefully brought the seeds to this
country when he came across from
Portugal. This soil seems to be very
good for this particular variety of
edible squash. In addition to their
immense size, they have a very de
liclously flavored meat and the shell
is softer than that of Hubbard
squash, which Is always a favorite.'

. Much Interest Is being shown in
the two meetings which are to be
held tomorrow afternoon In the post

ANNUAL LOSS IN HATCHING
CONSERVATIVELY PLACED AT
$100,000 IN WASHINGTON
; One of the biggest leaks in the
pounry d us in ess, pernaps tho biggest,
is caused by eggs that never hatch.
More than 100.000 worth of egga
put into the Incubators in the state
of Washington alone, are a dead loss
because they never hatch and this
story, it is authoritatively stated,
could be duplicated in most of
tho states whero poultry rais
ing has any footing. No chick re
sponds to the call of the hatchery-
man and this loss must bo Included
in the cost of the chicks that hatch.
This is the reason why poultrymen
who buy chicks must pay about two
cents a chick more than they would
if all the eggs hatched.
Here Is a loss which effects every
one in tho poultry business. It can
be cut in two if everyone producing
hatching eggs wilt take the Job seri
ously Intelligent care of the breed
ing stock, male and female, will
greatly increase- the number of eggs
that hatch, and tho vigor of the
chicks hatched.
i Vigor Is important '
The first step is the selection of
vigorous hens and roosters for tho
breeding pen. This vigor should
manifest itself in a bright, snappy
eye, an alert carriage, a breast bone
well covered with muscle as hard as
iron, and a body free from excessive

a letter recently received from Mrs.

Mr. Wright and their young son are
living in Bello, Brazil, or have been,
and have only recently moved to
Rio de Janeiro. Wo go right into

plac, where the Portuguese first
discovered gold, and is one of the
oldest cities in Brazil. We had heard
from many sources that it was the
most interesting place to visit in
this part of the country and we
hated to. leave without, seeing it.
But we had been deceived. They
told us it took from four to five
hours and instead of that it took
six very long ones, with one change
and a constant scramblo for the un
comfortable seats. . The first part of
tho trip was quite attractive, with
lots of tropical foliage but the lost
four hours wero very tiresome we

it really was worth going miles to

a car to pass, and I had thought
Bello had steep hills!

"It is significant that the national

creased attention to demand trends
