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

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.

"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

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

"Does he think we need cheer?"

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

and motioned to Kitty to take It.
He himself sat down on the mg ba

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

grain corporation, to the offices o
the European representatives of thli
co-operative sales agency hos .
gaged, public attention out of all pro
portion to that warranted by. thi
facts. International aleuthsj, seek
lng mysteries for solution, may turd
their attention back to finding tin
Lindbergh baby. There is not mys
tery about Dr. Mil nor 's trip and m
hidden motive to be dragged out.
"The farmers national grain cor
para tl on Is the' largest single ex
porter of United States grain. It ha;
representatives in every country im
porting grain from, the United
States.
"Mr. Mllnor Is making a goodwll
trip, calling on these representative:
for closer acquaintance and to ge
first hand estimates upon the expor
situation as it relates to the ncM
crop movement.
"The trip which Mr. Mllnor Is mak
ing is In behalf of the co-operativd
marketing agency. It has no othen
motive. The tvlp is Apparently be
ing made the occasion, for an in
creased attack by bear operators upoiJ
price levels already too low, for per-l
sonal gain and advantage and to dis
credit the farm board and the co
operative groups."

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.
