Last Tuesday evening a Chautau qua was given under the auspices of the Parent-Teacher Association at n local theater. All of the entertain ment was by simon-pure local tal ent. The house was filled to ca pacity, with the "standing room on ly" sign out shortly after the doors opened. And the whole perform ance, from the initial number by the Alfalfa Song Birds, to the fi nale, was a success. Now Vale is what is know to tho blase city slicker as a small town, so that when one stops and figures that to produce a cast of seventy people, all of whom display the tal ent they did at the Chautauqua per formance the other night, there must be considerable .real ability slong that line right here in our own home community. This same result will be found in almost any branch of endeavor one can mention. We have, among our own neighbors, capable men and women who have the energy, talent, and skill that is equal and even surpasses that of many of those from the outside larger centers, who have made a name, perhaps, known to more throughout the country. So let us get behind our home town people, for they are our friends and if we patronize their enter prises, rather than belittle their efforts, we will soon have a larg er and stronger community peopled with better and broader citizens. THE TOURIST PARK. Winter has given away to spring and the( roads are opening up all over the country so that the tour ist will soon begin to travel thru Vale again. At present the auto camp ground reserved for those who care to make their own lodg ing during their stay here, is more or less overgrown with weeds, the water is disconnected and in gen eral Its appearance cannot be cal culated to leave the impression one would wish with those compelled to use it. There has been talk of install ing modern conviences in the park, such as electric plates, housing fa cilities, etc., and then making an admission charge sufficient to cov er their upkeep. Others have sug gested merely cleaning up the park, connecting the water, and making no charge at all for its use, and some advocate variations between the two. , As to which method should be adopted is a question for the City Council, after duly considering all of the proposed plans, taking in the matter of finance, advertising, trade, vagrancy, sanitation and the other problems arising from tho operation of a municipal camp ground. But some plan should be adopted, and ar rangements made to carry it into effect in the vedy near future, or Vale will not be ready to handle the tourist .when he does arrive. If Vole has no money to put in the most modern of parks, then such conveniences are , of course out of the question, and one must be sat isfied with the simpler plan that of merely cleaning up the place and connecting the city water. This can be done by volunteer help if neces sary, setting a day aside and invit ing the citizens to gathes there with necessary rake, hoe, o mattock, and in a few hours the thing will be completed and ready for the early arrivals. If Vale has the necessary funds, and fcthe Counci thinks it advisable then plans should be immediately made for for the installation of such improvements as are needed, a price determined for the admission charge, and some one put in to oversee its collection. Whatever is to be done, should be determined soon, so that Vale will be ready for the tourist" upon his ar rival this year. The High School play is "abound ing in mirth-provoking situations with the loading role that of an binooent and inoffensive husband" toquotu its press notice, but if it is true to life the innocent and inoffeuslve hus band is provoked to vory little mirth. this anti-Catholic backing. But there are too many people in East em Oregon who are indifferent as- to a man's religion, believing it to be his own business, for the anti-Sin- nott effort to attain any formidable proportions. In. spite of his great popularity it is doubtful whether Gwinn can carry his own home town against Sinnott. George Harvey Graham of Baker, a realty operator is as usual after the democratic nomination. His name is getting some good advertising as a re3ult of his regular running for Congress, so much so that if Eastern Oregoii should ever go democratic in a land slide Graham might get to be con gressman for a term.

Anyone who saw the Parma-Valu baseball game at Parma will agree that baseball is not a winter sport. This time of year so much snow 'sno joke. Scissors and Paste Ku Klux Fight Sinnott Anti-Catholic feeling is behind the opposition to the re-ebjetion of Con gressman N. J. Sinnott in tho Sec ond Congressional District, the East ern district. As a congressman Sinnott has made rood in a mannei that is peculiarly satisfactory to his constituents, and besides that, he has attained a standing in Congress that has caused him to be discussed extensively as of cabinet caliber. The only criticism against Sinnott is that he is, or is supposed to be, a Catholic. So the Ku Klux Klnn and all the old-time anti-Catholic organizers are busy. James H. Gwinn of Pendleton, a strong candi date because of his excellentt repu tation for energy and enterprise is the opposing candidate and has Electricity Will Save Your Back Electricity is ready to do all the hard work of your home the washing, ironing, cooking, sewing, dish washing and cleaning.

Some vivid pictures of life In Rus sian Armenia, where gaunt famine stalks In the wake of devastating war, are given by Mrs. Samuel Newman, formerly Miss Ethel Long, graduate of Oregon Agricultural College, class of 1920, In letters to friends In Oregon. Mrs. Newman and her husband, the latter a graduate of the Idaho Agri cultural College, were married In Port land last spring, and pon after left for Armenia to join the staff of Near East Relief workers In charge of Ivm largo orphanage near Alexaadropoi, where an extensive agricultural recon struction project is being Inaagvrated by the Near Efiat Relief organisation.
