DAY-DREAMING.
. Spring is the generally accepted time for day-dreaming;
With thVyo'iing man, so the old saying goes, it is the thought
of love" that' flits through his truant mind; with the young
Woman; possibly a vision of her hoped-for July trip to.jtho
sea shore; with' the business man, perhaps a momentary
pondering upon the pleasures of a well-whacked golf ball or
a f (lui'-pound trout shedding droplets from a favorite fishing
stream; and the youngster probably dreams of-long surra
rfifer days in' which to swim and hike.
Iri all this' sprlhgtime dreaming surely a community has
a right to have its fling? Just a moment's respite from the
; difficulties of holding its own against present day trouble?
Picture then, if you' will, a city of the future, a hub of re
' giotml aerial, railroad, and automotive; 'transportations; a
city of fine homes, thriving business places, attractive living
conditions; a city surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of
fertile tracts devoted to fruits and vegetables' and dairy
cows' rich, fields of soil kept moist by Irrigation ditches
threading the valley; and a1 city almost within n stop's
I" rtii'ovv of rtany matchless playgrounds.
I That, if a Community may resort to day-dreams, might
, bo La Grande's vision of some future day! And, unlike
. many of the dreams that intrigue our individual fancies,
th&'tf is" reason' to believe that some day it may come true !
You nWy scoff. But consider! Isn't the soil of the Grande
Ronde among the richest, most productive when properly
handled of the entire Northwest? Isn't La Grande's loca
tion geographically advantageous for land and air travel to
all adjacent centers of population? Hasn't the foundation
already been laid for making this city the educational center
of Eastern Oregon? Haven't the preliminary steps already
been taken toward the realization of adequate irrigation
projects? Hasn't the community demonstrated real pro
gressiveness and constructive energy in opening up its great
scenic attractions by building the Mt. Emily road? And
isn't It a fact that La Grande is the natural gateway to the
aptly termed "Switzerland of America" the marvelous
Wallowa country and to the incomparable Snake river
gorge?
Perhaps the newly issued government map of the Eagle
Cap primitive area Was the Inspiration of this community
Vision; and possibly pleasant momoiues of summer days
happily spent in the shadows of the mighty Wallowas were
contributory.
But that map is enough to start anyone dreaming. It
speaks Of snow-capped mountains Sacnjawea Peak and
Miitterhorn, thrusting their proud heads more than ten
thousand feet above sea level. It suggests the glacier on the
slopes of Eagle Cap. It brings to mind the fact that the
Box canyon of the Snake river is the deepest known gorge
in the world. It brings up visions of the white mcirblo
mountains that form part of the Wallowa range. It reminds
us that the Wallowa country (along with a lake in far-off
Switzerland) is the home of the yank, and one of the last
retreats of the mountain sheep. It makes one dream of
boating on the waters of a mirror-clear lake, and of sleeping
soundly beneath warm blankets beside a rushing stream, and
of sweet-scented, flower-strewn mountain meadows, and of
but enough!
As n last word, let us say just one thing more. Is it rea
sonable to expect that a progressive city in such a produc
tive valley and surrounded by such a wealth of natural re
sources its it .reasonable to expect that such a city will not
eventually carry development to such a point that it may
fully realize the bonefits which have boon so plentifully pro
Tided ?
Maybe it will take ten, twenty, or fifty years; but some
.day that "Community Dream" will come true! And in the
biBtory of .community development even fifty years is not
such an appalling length of time. Did you know that in this
county there are living today people who were young men
.'and women when the first soil was turned over by a plow in
the 'Grande Ronde valley? It is probable that the progress
af the .next .twenty-five years will be greater than that of
the past seventy-five. '

BACK TO THE LAND!
I One of the beneficial by-products
of this business depression should be
a widespread back-to-the-land move
ment. ' True, farm products are low, and
high profits from any farm property
are out of the question.
But for that very reason, farm
PRICES are low, lower than they
have been in many decades.
I As a result good farms can be pur
chased at rock, bottom prices and on
the easiest terms. A farm thus se
cured has many advantages over most
any other form ofvpurchase or in
vestment. With proper core a farm does not
wear out, it is not useless about the
time the final payment comes due.
A new farm does not have to bo pur
chased to replace the old farm every
few years. With proper care and at
tention the INTRINSIC worth of a
farm increases steadily in value.
I, Moreover a farm can't be wiped out
by a stock market crash, or a promo
tion gamble, or crookedness In high
places as is true of so many invest
ments. It can't be stolen, or de
stroyed by fire. Even the govern
ment might fall, and still that farm,
and Its ability to support and pro
vide shelter for human life, WOULD
REMAIN. .
t In other words, the ownership of a
productive farm, at the present time,
represents the HIGHEST FORM OP
SECURITY, THAT CAN BE ATTAIN
ED and as unemployment increases,
and stocks and bonds continue to
'crumble, more and more people are
coming to realize this fact.
There is another point. Th average
farm assures a "living wage" susten
ance for a man, his wife and family,
! and as bread linos Increase, mere
sustenance Is for many a consumma
tion devoutly to be wished.
I Tlie work, the simple out-door life
Jon a farm, do not Insure perfect
health of course, but they do en-
j courage It; and health added to se
curity, form the two most vital fac-
(torft in the. happiness and content
ment of life. i
Unless we or greatly mistaken the
back-to t he-land movement In this
'country has already started, at any
rate inquiries regarding form lands
are being received In this state in
greater number today than for many
years past and the logic of the
(situation points to the movement in
creasing steadily In volume.
I Thus one may say with truth, that
'depressions may come and depressions
may go but the beneficlent law of
compensation GOES ON FOREVER I

Lindberghs Optimistic
Dr. John Grier Hibbon, president
of Princeton tmlverslty, who called
at the Lindbergh home, with his
wife, said an "air of optimism" pre
vailed. Mrs. Hibben said Mrs. Lind
bergh was bearing up well.
John Hughes Curtis, one of three
Norfolk, Va., intermediaries who be
lieve they have established contact
with the kidnapers, was away from
his home on another mysterious
Journey that lasted since Saturday.
There were reports, unconfirmed,
that he also had headed lor Martha's
Vineyard.
In Oreat Britain MaJ. Charles H.
Schoclfel. of the New Jersey state
police, conferred with Scotland Yard,
spent last night in London, and left
his hotel today for an unannounced
destination. He had planned yester
day to go to Glasgow.
Move Is .Mysterious
In that city lives the mother of
Betty Gow, the Lindbergh baby's
nurse. Inasmuch as police have re
peatedly declared they were satisfied
with Miss Clow's response to ques
tioning, this move was another of
the many mysteries In the case.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf of
the state police, in his morning bul
letin today, said his headuarters
hud not requested the activities In
, Martha's Vineyard, and they "arc
j probably an independent lnvcstlga-
tlon by some other department."
ine ponce, no gaiu, nave nan no
contact with tho kidnapers and have
received no Information of any kind
about the return of the baby. He
added that no report has been re
ceived at his headquarters Indicating
that the baby is anywhere in the
vicinity of British Honduras, "and
no activities are being conducted in
this direction."

cording to a bulletin Issued at that

. Talks will be - given by several
members of the committee, Mr. Rich
ardson states, on methods of draw
ing more tourists to Northeastern
Oregon and the needs of co-operation
between Union and Wallowa counties.
Statistics drawn up from a num
ber of surveys show the distribution
of the tourist dollar, with the money
spent for local transportation, in
cluding the cost of one's own automo
bile or other means of conveyance,
topping the list at 23 per cent of
each. Food costs 22 per cent; cloth
ing 13 per cent; amusements and
recreations, 11 per cent; housing, 15
per cent; personal, profession and
domestic service, 4 per cent; laundry
and cleaning, 2 per cent; fuel and
lights, 2 per cent; and incidentals,
8 per' cent. Practically every phase
of the business field, prof its directly
from the tourist dollar, .
The meeting of the La. Grande
chamber of commerce on April 19 will
be turned over to. the tourist com
mittee. Last fall the local com
mercial group put out two new pieces

United States Army Will Be Host
Tomorrow in Honor of "Army Day"
SAN FRANCISCO, Apr. 5 (Special)
Army day, next Wednesday, Apr.
6, which is also the fifteenth anni
versary of the entry of the United
States into the World war, will be
observed at all army pests through
out the nation and its possessions,
with appropriate military ceremonies.
Originated In 1928 by the Military
Order of the World War, and offi
cially sponsored by the war depart
ment in 1931, every element of the
far Hung United States army, from
frozen Alaska to steaming Panama,
and from the Eastern seaboard to
Tientsin, Shanghai and the Philip
pines will on this day reconsecrate
itself to Ideals of unselfish national
service and to the maintenance and
enhancement of the record of splen
did achievement and unswerving loy
alty that has characterized the more
than a century and a half of its ex
istence. The army had its beginning on
July 2, 1775, when General Washing
ton entered the American lines be
sieging Boston and organized the
several units of the New England
militia into a single force. Shortly"
afterward there was formed a na
tional or "Continental" force which
eventually provided the backbone and
was in fact the origin of our pres
ent regular army. Today many of
our regular army units can trace
their line over a period of more than
140 years, punctuated by service in
Canada. Mexico, our Civil and In
dian wars, Cuba, Philippines, China,
and Europe, and proudly bear on
their standards battle honors in
which the names Lundys Lane, Cerro
Gordo, Antietam, Santiago, Manila
and Peking stand equally as a sym
bol of courage, honor and duty with
this of Aisne, Champagne, Saint
Mlhiel and Meuse-Argonne.
Antedating the Very beginnings of
our present government, the history
of the army is In fact the history
of our government. Conceived in
chaos, born In adversity, and reared
In an atmosphere of the alternating
hostility and approbation of those
whom it well served, the army
throughout its existence has remained
true to its traditional subordination
to constituted civil authority and
loyalty to Its government and its
people.
No less glorious, useful, and ef
fective tlian its performance on the
fields of more than eight thousand
separate battles and engagements, Is
the record of army accomplishment
in prosaic and little known peace time
activities which have so powerfully
contributed to national development
and well being.
The army provided the vehicle up
on which our civilization advanced

Bridge, Marriage
Mix, Expert Says
CHICAGO, Apr. 6 (fP) Take it froih
Ely Culbertson you can be married,
play bridge and still be happy:
Tho New York bridge expert, here
to tell Chlcagoans and others how
the game Is played, was asked If It
was his personal experience that
playing bridge and marriage were a
bitter mixture.
"Only by observation," he replied.
"Married folk probably should fight
more than they do over their bridge
games. The game provides a good
peg upon which to hang their Inhi
bitions. There has been only one '
marital murder resulting from a poor
bridge play that I know of, but that
doesn't compare with the homicide
statistics of other marriage circum-1
stances."
