And Mother, trudging wearily from store to store for days, does her bit the best she can rand heaves a sigh of relief when the last thing is purchased, and daintily wrapped and tied with green or red ribbon. But it can be different here this week. Most of the retail stores in La Grande have decided to keep their doors open until 8 p. m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so as to give everyone a chance to do their Christmas shopping partic ularly to give Dad a chance to help Mother look around for a sled or doll with curls or the right kind of a tie for Cousin Bill. And, you wives, don't Jet your hubbies stay at home those three nights and toast his toes by the fireplace and read hair-raising detective stories while you attempt the shop ping alone. Make him put his suspenders over his shoulder, don his coat and hat, and make the rounds with you. If he does, it will be a happier Christmas not only for Mother, but for Dad as well because he'll get a real kick out of the shopping when he two of you go a gift hunting together. , XODAY IN BRIEF, IN AND AROUND OREGON AS CBBw.MCLED BY TUB DAILY LEASED WISH OP TUB ASSOCIATED PSESS SiLY&AIAS LOSHS AFPEAL PORTLAND, Dec. 20 oPl Jake Silverman, Portland rooming house proprietor, convicted of manslaughter for the 'gang.lancT killing of Jimmy Walker and Mra.
