A doplui'ulilo situation has lieon lwently uneovoii'd in re lation to (ino phuso of reliuf work in Lii Grande, mid it is to Ik: hoped that local citizens who can afford will rise to the emergency and lirinjr about its immediate correction. It has to do with the handling of transients who have no destinsjr tion, who are without home or work and who are "on the road." Most of them eager to work but nimble to find employ ment and so naturally, going from place to place in search of a livelihood. ' In Ii Grande, it transient come here and are able to show a destination some place where they know they will get work, or have relatives or friends who will supixnt them the .county relief committee may grant them meals and n tiekel ol lransxrtation to this place they are headed for, In due time the federal government reimburses the local relief committee for this advancement of funds. However, the transient man, woman or family, often times including small children as has occurred here several times within the past month who cannot show a definite destination, lmds nothing in La Grande except what help is provided at the Salvation Army hall. Here Captain Daniel Jtouy nas a lxit ot "stew on the stove, with ingredients fur nished through some donations of local meat markets, gro ceries and bakeries or contributions from the captains own very meagre pocket. Twenty to 30 such transients, vjino-ino- from single 'men and women to husbands and wives with- Jamilies ot small children, are taken care of nightly after a fashion at the local Salvation Annv hall. In nth er wnrHsi by the grace of Captain Body, a hall with a few beds and a bit of carrots, potatoes, soup bone, etc, picked up from ioiai stoics mese unioriunates gam a place to sleep and what of badly needed nourishment can be provided until the. next morning when they must somehow move on. Captain Body's funds for this feeding and care, because of toe lei-em. unusual ana neavy demand, are found to be de- jiiuieti aim even me sugnt but welcome sustenance which he has provided cannot be continued much longer unless some general contributions come in to him from individuals who can give in this community. ; If iack of co-oueration with Cant.

Particularly the fellow with wife and liabies on hi. hands who are hungry or sick or both. Let ullyone consider what they would do if circumstances placed them in the, same condition. Other cities, including those near by, are finding wayi ai;d means of handling this problem to at least some satis faction, yet so far this particular phase of relief work hrts for some reason or other loon ' passed by unnoticed and unattended m U Grande. Hie Salvation Army here and its (aptam Body are deserving of the highest praise for the brave way they have carried on in face of difficulties, but the community cannot sit back longer and oxpwt them to continue this work upon words of praise and 'moral support." Capt. Body has been doing the job alone, unaided except by what he has been able to secure in foodstufs for his daily pot of stew, 'the demands are becoming too great however for him to carry on without more substantial community aid lhe local public geneially appears to have unthinkingly" boon to snug in an erroneous opinion that federal aid is caring for the fellow who is down and out. It is true that some help of Jwteral nature has been secured in other communities for this type ol relief but somehow not yet in U Grande In terested parties are already at work on that matter, but success to their et torts cannot be immediate. In the meantime however, the 20 to SO ti ini,Mitc ,,-. appearing at the local Salvation Army building daily and the average is growing.

Clla kept conversation clipping along at a lively rate until breakfast was over, then accompanied Cun nrd, Morgan and Judith into Cun- nrd's study. "Wo want to discuss Hie coming contest," explained tho Judge. don't want you to go to tho witness stand unprepared." "Oh. by tho way, when does tho case open?" "T.iis morning, at ten o'clock." "This morning." gasped Judith "Why dldu't you tell me"" "Didn't want you to develop any nervjs wnltlng for tho ordeal. And Miss Judith, it's apt to be that. Lam pere isn't a pleasant person to have on tho opposing side." But aren t thero things I should know, should do? And why didn't yesterday s newspapers say any. thing about It, or am I no longer news? "You're news," Clin contributed, "but thanks to Cantlll's deslro to murder his wife. tho. rest ot tho sheets overlooked the dale. We arc carrying a story this morning." "As for you kuowlu- things and doing things," said Judge Morgan, "all you need to do is act unlurui nud you know all that Is necessary for you to know." - "About all you'll need to do," of fered Cunard. "is hang onto your temper with both hands. And now if you'll dress and tell Mrs. Cunard we re ready, she'll stay with you during the trial as Cllu Is ono of our Important witnesses and can't be present until after she's teslltied " And If you think that Isn't being martyr." interposed Clia.

A flock ot news-photographers de scended on them "Clla, will she pose, Mrs. Dale, do you mind?" "Of course she'll pose, and you, Mrs. Cunard?" asked Clia, "do you mind?" "I do mind," answered Mrs. Cun ard, wilh a tiny frown which van ished in a smile, "but under the circumstances I'll be proud to pose wl" her." ' ; '." "Don't make her smile," barked Clia at one enterprUing young man. wo uon t want folks to think she's enjoying this. Now that's enough. ou ve all had good shots . . , come on folks." Judge Morgan and Justin Cunard. who had driven In behind them. came up and escorted them to the room In which tho will contest was to bo held. They needed an escort. the hall was crowded. Judith looked . upon the court room with now vision. It was no longer sn amphitheater for comedy or tragedy. It was a room in which Judith Lnne-Dalo was to face twelve mon and make them know that the Illo Diablo Dam was not s crazy man's dream, but a reality which provided labor for three hundred men and would provide a controlled water, supply for rich lands where citrus groves would flourish. She felt toe responsibility keenly as she took her seat. Judge Morgan and Cunard were talking with some of the strange men w ho seemed to mill about by the dozen.
