OUR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE f ,
Twelve prominent citizens of the Grande Ronde valley
have been selected to constitute the board of directors jfor
the Union County chamber of commerce during the coming
year. "Hie activities planned will be many and varied, but
unified to accomplish a fivefold purpose, and dedicated' to
the highest interests of the people of La Grande and Union
county. .
Encourage farming! Fanning Is the leading pursuit of
the Grande Ronde valley and will be directly benefitted if
the citizens stand behind the chamber of commerce in urging
the establishment of a public market. During the past year
this organization sponsored the Grange Fair and Home Pro
ducts Show and made about 10,000 people conscious of the
vast productiveness of the valley. A delegation from the
'hftffiber appeared with local wheat growers before repre
i nentatives of the federal farm board to present a plan of
iwheat control through the reduction of acreage.
Civic improvement! The chamber has been 'responsible
for ftvihy public improvements, and for 1932 it has placed
nmong its objectives the beautification of Jefferson street
near. the. (lepbt, 'in. pi'der that people coming through on 'the
trains may receive a more favorable impression of the "pity.
Anothv'-definite" objective is' the beautification qJ Coftifo'r
Highway improvement! Intensive efforts oh the part of
the chamber of commerce, backed, by the people of the whole
county, during 1931 made possible the construction- of the
new Mt. Emily road, making accessible an incomparable vista
of remarkable scenery which promises to attract hundreds of
tourists to this area. During 1932 the chamber plans to
encourage the improvement of roads and the protection of
natural scenery.
Tourist travel! - Through the publication of a small folder
last year hundreds of tourists were brought to the Grande
Ronde valley, tourists who othenvise might never have
known the many attractions and advantages of this
locality. And those tourists left hundreds of dollars in Union
county. This year a much more attractive folder is being
propnred and the chamber is planning strenuous efforts to
bring in more tourists and persuade them to stay longer.
Industrial development! This is n most important phase
of activity, and during 1932 the chamber plans to urge the
erection of the E. O. N. training school building, co-operation
with the railroad in every possible way, and the develop
ment of an airport, nil of which would be of direct benefit to
both city and county.
The chamber of commerce has led many worth while
projects in the past and there is much it can accomplish in
the near future. Its usefulness is measured by the degree to
which the people of the county co-operate with it. It is the
only agency for intelligently directing and co-ordinating the
efforts of all our citizens in building n finer, more prosperous
community. ,

Say:
HOW IT STARTED?'
The Chronicle's invisible corres
pondent at Toklo has scooped the
world I Mr. X liny, a member of this
newspaper's staff, who has spent
many months in Japan, for the first
time since the trouble started has
been able to slip his dispatches past
Japanese censors. The following is
the inside story of the beginning of
the far eastern crisis, written by a
first hand observer:
The scene is the Japanese war of
fice or any other prominent meeting
place in Toklo. A solemn gathering
Is seated around a huge table, quaf
fing schooners of saki and conversing
loudly. It Is plain that affairs of
great Importance have brought them
together the crowd, not the saki.:
Included are admirals, generals, dip
lomats, captains of Industry and Jap
anese house-boys.
"Gentlemen," said Baron Heavi
Shugaro, "we are facing a: crisis. The
fate of Japan Is In the balance. No
longer are the despised Chinese buy
ing the produots of our factories.
Already this year have I lost 2 mil
lion yen. I tell you, we must crush
them into the earth and make them
buy!"
A chorus of assent swelled from the
assemblage.
"The peoplel The people!" cried
Baron Harl Karl. "We have too many
people for our small Islands. Even
Margaret Sanger could do us no good.
We must have more land for our
people. The bones of our ancestors
are Crying for room."
Baron Karl in turn was applauded.
A hush fell over the gathering as
General Ichy Ichi slowly rose to his
feet. The general is the big potato
in Japan. He tells diplomats where
to head in, and they head.
"It Is very simple," the general de
clared. "We shall first seize Man
churia. There our surplus population
may go and grow up with the coun
try. Any Chinese who stand in the
way we shall kill. The others we shall
hire to run the country for Japan.
"As for China Itself " and here
Uhe general's lip curled contemptu
ously "we shall send a few thousand
men to Shanghai to wipe out the
Chinese army and end the boycott.
The Chinese must buy from Japan.
ii they don't wo shall kill thorn." '
Wild applause followed the genor
ol's remarks. It was plain that most
of those present were eager for blood
the blood of somebody else, prefer
ably a Chinaman.
However, a thin, echolarly-appcar-fng
son of Nippon, wearing spectacles,
now arose. Ho appeared to be labor
ing under a great strain. He was
Plentl Shaki, a mere executive in
the civil government of Japan.
"aentlemen," he expostulated
"have you thought what such a
course would mean? Do you realize
that world opinion would bo against
us; that wo might become Involved
in a war with the United States or
Great Britain; that we are not fin
ancially able to withstand a long war,
and that resistance in China may be
more sanguine than we xpect?" :
scoffing laughter greeted his re
marks.
"Ho Ho," roarod General Ichy Ichf.
"Listen to him telling the army what
it should and should not do. That's
the best laugh I've hod since we
arrested those American fliers. Pang

"Yes." agreed Baron' Karl, "every

Impressively turned back by a count
of 41 to 14.
' Hitting! its stride ln veteran style

while the. Buckaroos were hard
pressed 'Xd score their five field goals.
The game was fast from start to

uproar - throughout. Although the
Buckaroos displayed plenty of speed

BEWARE THE
COUGH OR COLD
THAT HANGS ON
Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can atop them now
with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote
that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a
new medical discovery with two-fold ac
tion; it soothes and heals the inOamed
membranes and inhibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs, creosote is recog
nized by high medical authorities as ono
of tho greatest healing agenoies for per
sistent coughs and colds and other forms
of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains,
in addition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the infected
membranes and stop the irritation and
inflammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of the trouble
and checks the growth of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira
tory diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
flu. Money refunded if any cough or
cold, no matter of how long standings
is not relieved after taking according
to directions. Ask your druggist, (adv.)
