A CHALLENGE ,' La Grande, merchants, sponsoring the annual Spripg Open ing, set for 7:30 this evening, were today completing their ,fjnal arrangements for putting .their "best foot" forward at the beginning of the new season. . And hundreds of local popple, as we'll as considerable .numbers from near by com munities, were planning to join the crowds pn Adams avqnue tonight in order to view the very latest modes in clothing and furnishings. At first glance the Spring Opening might seem merely an advertising stunt designed to stimulate buying. But it Jias come to mean much more than that. It is symbolical of the season, representative of faith and confidence and new growth. It is the beginning of a new period one which we are an sure win De tn.e Dest in sevei-ai seasons. Again, it is a man-made salute to Nature's providence, a tribute to the return of stimulating weather, and a signal that the .troubles and disappointments of a long, hard winter are def initely relegated to the ash heap, nA in tha lauf annlvaia demonstrates the faith of the future of our City. They have , prove to be the worst period are they down-hearted? Are they planning to lock the doors and quit? No! -Instead they are swinging into thei.new season with fresh optimism, eager to conquer the tasks -ahead, and confident tjiat the spring, summer, and fall sea sons will bring a definite upturn in their world of buying and selling. Pprhnna nffpv nil flip Siivinrr Onnnino- rpiillv serves as a .4w, - - , -- i o I o challenge to each' and every one of us to take a long breath and turn back with renewed courage and energy to our par ticular tasks tilling the soil, pounding a typewriter, sell ing merchandise, or fixing tires and to make a better showing than we ever have before. And if every one of us would accept that challenge, who would dure deny that our worries of past seasons soon would be dissipated? ' It was persistent effort and intense loyalty that carried this community to the peak of 1929 and there is no reason on earth why rolling up our sleeves, digging, and working together this Spring will not get us a rung or two higher on the ladder that leads to good times again. i AN UNIQUE ART Very few people arc aware of the fact that the type they reud in their newspapers, magazines, books and advertising has been designed by someone; that there is an art which has to do solely with the designing of now type facos. Rend ing has become so commonplace that most adult readers have forgotten that there are letters of the alphabet. So long as they do not intrude themselves due to some peculiarity letters do not impress the reader's consciousness. The art of the type designer paradoxically alms at impressing tho render by being inconspicuous. He is constantly striving to create letters that are more legible and which make the printed page more beautiful, , - One of the world's foremost members of this craft, Fred erick W. Goudy, has spent 3'1 years designing 73 type faces. Although few recognize his name all who read see specimens of his handiwork daily. '-. "The main purpose of making letters is the practical one of making thoughts visible. However, thoy have ns well a decided decorative quality, quite apart from any ornamental treatment of the separate characters. Letters need only to be simple, well shaped and well proportioned. Beauty is not to be sought at the expense of practical use." , How different from most of the other arts is the art of type design. ; If we could all do as we please, who would wash the dishes ? $g$$'$$3$$3$44t .

The sur- vey has covered 19 counties In Wash ' Ington, 10 In Idaho. 4 In Oregon and : 7 In Montana and In' that area It Is I indicated that approximately 2.000 ; farms were occupied last year, many ' of these . representing families mov jlng from cities of this district to : places classed as rural. There were at least 600 families from beyond the confines of the In- land Empire who came to the region to settle on farms and It Is expected they will be permanent residents, since that number contracted to purchase places. In Spokane county 143 farm deals were closed during the past year. ' Stevens county. In the northern tier of counties, re ports that there are at least 500 more families on farms than there were, in the previous years. - The rback to the 'farm -movement Is xn throughout the nation, owing to the, fact that employment In the cities j fell off to a marked degree. No nation .with the area and popu lation, of the United States can re main in a healthy condition when considerably more than half the total population Is resident In places of more than 2.600 population. -,Jn ,the -centers. s. families denend- enV upon Industrial prosperity either j tnrivo or starve. .Place 'these same families upon. farms., let'them have a cow, a ;few , chickens and a garden and (they are pretty much self-sufficient even :ln the times of greatest stress. The American farm will sup port families when the American city ,1s having ,its , problems caring for Its masses. With better roads and '.most of the city conveniences available to about 00 per cent of the rural areas of the nation today, a great many who have returned to the land will mjre than likely re main this -time. The reasons which caused the exodus to the cities have largely been removed. Walla Walla Bulletin. WHEN STOCKS HUN LOW Reputable citizens of the town of,asklnK for money.

Aot eirar rcl and Kitty Frcio is left alone to tcait lor her husband. Gnr. to refwn some. Fear overtakes her when tie doea not arrive. The main trouble Ilea in her efforts to make Gar settle down and be nracttcal. while he wants to have a flood time. Then have been mar vied only a short time, but already sha has learned that she doesn't tit into the crowd. The cool and mannered girls and swlH-vaced boys are very different from the younff' people of her small home town. Even .though she tries to learn new points ot view. Gar Iniis Kitty still and prim before- his friends. His mother's leashed disapproval to the marriaae makes Kitty uncomfortable and strength ens Mrs. Frew's determination to maintain control over Gnr. Still waitina for Gar. Kitty oocs into the hall to rind a shabby stranger. Chapter 8 CONSPIRATORS "I JELLO, who are you?" The man's tone was casual. bis manner equally so. He ap proached Kitty quickly, concerned, for hs had seen her face whiten, her hands go to her throat. She shrank back from him. "Who who aro you? 'What do you want " And then Pound appeared, sm! lng. "Good evening. Mr. David. It's nice to seo you. But your faliier has telephoned that he's left for New York. You'll stay? Sirs, uar, licic, will like your company. Din ner is ready." "So you aro Gar's wife?" David Frew laughed. "And you are David?" And be cause he hadn't come to tell her that Gar was killed Kitty laughed, too. "Kitty. That name lits you rather neatly, Mrs. Gar." "It's really Katlierlnc, though no one ever calls mo that." "Ot course not, you're not big enough yet. You may grow into It" "I'm quite grown up." "And wise and experienced, of course " Kitty laughed at his teasing. She had Inughed frequently during the course of the dinner which Pound served to them with as much care as though they were' guests of state. She had eaten heartily, too. She bad felt at ease with David at once. Perhaps, she thought, real izing that ease, it was because she bad not speculated on meeting him. Through the yellow glow of can dlelight over the table she observed him with Interest He was not like Gar, nor like his father. His face was thin, with high cheek-bones and a long Jaw: hia eyes were deep set under heavy brows. Ills thick hair and his skin were of a weath ered brown that made his gray eyes almost colorless In contrast "He Isn't a bit nice looking." she ap praised, until ho smiled. It wasn't Gar's quick, charming smile It was slow-coming, lingering, trans figuring, a thins to share. She gathered from what passed between David and Pound that he came Infrequently like this, to have dinner with his father, but only when he knew Mrs. Frew would not be at home. "I am an intruder, you know," he bad said to Kitty, lightly. "I'm hero bx Pounds grace. We con spire, the two of us." And Kitty had seen the adoring look Pound' bent upon David's shabby back. When they finished their dinner they went Into the library. Pound had kindled a small fire cn the open hearth. "It's cheerful like," ho explained. "Does he think we need cheer?" n-.t v lii laughed. He drew chair rip to the hearth Grangers Plan Drive Against White Top Pest By Mrs. Charles Spencer (Observer Correspondent) GRANGE HALL (Special) At Sat urday's meeting of Blue Mt. Grange Bert Grput. Ed Jasper, Tom Walslng er, W. O. Sherwood and Clarence Car ter were appointed to make reports of crops, etc., to the extension ser vice. Mrs. Bert Grout was asked to supervise the magazine exchange de partment of the grange and Mrs. C. B. Spencer was appointed to take charge of publicity matters. L. P. Wright, chairman' of the agriculture committee, urged . that farmers who knew of a patch of "white top" growing In their fields or in fields of their neighbors, confer with H. G. Avery, county agent. According to Mr. Wright "white top" Is considered one of the worst pests of the weed family, being of the hardest variety to kill out even wors than either Canadian thistle or wild morning glory. It Is said that Immediate steps will be taken to eradicate them. In honor of the birthday anniver sary of her mother, Mrs. E. A. Sayro, Mrs. Delbert Anson entertained at a six o'clock dinner Friday evening at, her home here. Places were laid for six at a prettily arranged table which had for Its centerpiece a lovely birth day cake. A social hour followed dinner. Those who enjoyed the eve ning together were the guest of honor and Mr. Sayre. Miss Ethel Sayre. Mr. and Mrs. Anson and small daughter. Thlrty-flva grangers from Pleasant Grove attended the dancing party given Saturday night by members of Blue Mt. Grange at their hall. For the first time In four weeks, J. B. Llndsey. who has been very ill. was able to sit at the table Friday and eat a meal with his family. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Undzlcker left Monday for Milton where they plan to spend a few days visiting relatives. Word comes from Lester Mosterton and Cecil Sherwood, two young men of trie Grange Hall neighborhood, that they are nicely located at Bend and are performing the "batching" stunt FREW ABBOTT, and motioned to Kitty to take It. He himself sat down on the mg ba fore the Ore, - halt-facing her, bis long legs doubled to his chin. " j "Now tell me all about it." "About what?" "Why you did It why you mar ried Gar." "Why. I we " 'Loved, one another so very much, of course. Well,' what are you go ing to do with him, now that you have him?" ' 1 Nor had Kitty answer for that, at once, and David .-finished dryly. "I guess the boy's got some good stuff in him if you're given half a chance." - "Of course." She had words now. "He has all sorts of plans. But he's going to begin'in'iiis father's office. We'll have a little home ''bt our',' own, then.". "And just now Gar Is loafing, eh? Honeymooning?" "Ho's playing golf this afternoon I didn't expect him back to din ner." She spoke a little coldly. "An Ideal wife for a golfer." Then his smile vanished. . He frowned into the fire, holding to a long silence from which he spoke presently with a mocking tone. "Mrs. Frew has been very sweet to you, hasn't she?" "Oh, yes. She's been darling. Lots of mothers, caring tor Gar as she does, might not have forgiven me. I can understand that . now. But she's been very nice about it " . "She's allowed you to sit on the edge of her throne. But she's let you seo that hers is a prior claim on Gar, hasn't she?" "I won't listen to you if you talk like that," Kitty answered spirit edly. ( David patted her hand. "Don't, them But I'd like to see you stand square on your two little feet, as long as you've walked into this thing. Now let's talk about you. I want to know about Brldgewater. Did you live by any chance, in a nice friendly old house with a picket fence around it?" "Why, 1 did a very old house, and a very old fence and both need repairing most frightfully." 1 " a nice big kitchen (hat smelts very pleasantly ot baking and a family room with good, old, hon orable things In it?" Laughing, she admitted to the good old possessions of her father's home, to their honorable shabhi ness. "I like a place like that," David said slowly. "A place that seems to put arms around you when ynu walk into It, I've got one out on a by-road in the country." '.'I'd love to see it," Kitty said softly. She bent a tender glance on David's head. There had been a lonely note in his voice that made her sorry for him. And presently, with an eagerness born of a loneliness deep in her own heart, she was telling him more about Bridgewater, of its gay eties, of Sally Withers who was her closest friend and of Phil who'd al ways been just like an older brother to hei, of the store and how hard her father worked there, and of her mother. And David listened, smil ing, his grave, deep-set eyes fixed on her flushed, happy face. She told him of the kindergarten class she had had the last winter. "I loved working with the chil dren, they were such darlings." "You foolish kid," he commented But he did not explain his pity and before Kitty could resent it tie sprang to his feet in mock alarm Copyriaht.

TALES ABOUT MILNOR HELD AS MALICIOUS (Continued From Page One) tho market for the express purpose of aiding those who are speculating in gram. "There will be no stabilization wheat dumped anywhere. We anJ nounced last July how this wheat! would be sold. -This program hasi been followed . ana will not befl changed." Issues Statement Huff's statement said: "The visit of George S.

Rapid Sale Urged Rapid sale of farm board wheat in non-competitive foreign markets through appropriation of new funds for export financing was urged to. day by the wheat advisory commit tee. .. The committee, composed of rep resentatives of farnvco-operatives as sisted by the board, opposed .the Gore -bill which would impound the remaining 150,000,000 bushels of stabilization wheat. It said: "We believe that it is to the best Interest of agriculture for this wheat to be disposed of in places where United States wheat does not usual ly go. -"Also this wheat should !be movea as promptly as possible with out depressingi prices so as to save further storage costs." Administration! leaders, Including Secretary Hyde, are now seeking au thority to use $100,000,000 of rccon Etructlon finance corporation funds to extend credit to foreign govern ments buying wheat. Distinct Progress Seen Reviewing the farm board's activ ities, the advisory committee said: "We believe that distinct progress has been made In realizing the pur pose of the agricultural marketing act and disapprove any attempts by tho congress to lessen the effective ness of this act." It specifically opposed tho Borah bill limiting salaries paid by co-op-eratlvcs receiving llnancial aid from the board, saying agriculture should not be singled out, and that if any salaries are to be restricted all cor porations benefitting by government funds should be included.
