James Henderson, after spending a few weeks with friends in Umatilla county, returned this week to his homo in Albertu. Reports sent him from there, indicated favorable pros pects for a godd crop this season. An abundance of winter moisture is the principal crop asset of the North this year.

The Ray mond farm ha8 been leased, and they contemplate going to Modford to make their home in the future. William Shrimpf this week pur chased the D. II.

For a troubled conscience try shov eling the snow off your sidewalk. A lump ot conl for a lump of sugar may prove about an even trade. Talking about the coal situation also helps to keep many of us warm. If your sweetheart turns low the llslit, cheer up I She's but conserving coal. x The coal situation continues to stim ulate production In typewriter sup plies. Liberty bonds are best In the long ran even If the government Is retiring them. "Operators Can Not Raise Price of Coal," and neither can a lot of the con amuers. The Inst glimmering ruy of hope Is gone. The kick Is to bo taken out of hair tonics. When mothers demand an eight-hour vlay then the world may ns well give bp the ghost.

For the flrt time for yer th Part restaurant are now sending order to the snail farms In the prov inces, as well a to Italy and Kwlts erland. The snail are collected dur ing June and July by women and children, and must le aa tenderly handled as egg, tor on no account must the shell- be cracked. At the farm they are placed one by one on grass In fine wire enclosures, and are fed on lettuce and ruhliuge. A lure cabbage In au enclosure with two hun dred wiull will disappear In an hour. A. large buslnes I don In "runners" (as the snails arc railed when they run almut) all the year round to meet tb" taste of less fastidious diners, and the Inr cent gray-shelled snail the best of the edible on en Is In dnn ger of being exterminated by being collected during the breeding senson. "Runners" must not bo packed with fresh gran or they will overeat them selves, have Indigestion and so spoil their ffnvor. There are peop'e who collect the larger grny sheila to sell to the smaller restautsjts that an Inferior order of snail, or even the. humble mussel, may be substituted. The snail which Is to tempt the palate of the epicure must not be eaten-before the Inst week In September. The snails are usually packed In flat boxe or basket containing from 1,000 l,r00 each. Their storage Is not an rasy matter, for they must be kept at a carefully regulutcd temperature for degree too much heat will !c cefve them Into the belief that sprln: has arrived, and they will wake and crawl about tf WESTON SCHOOLS eefc A baseball game between Athena Hi and Weston Hi is scedulcd for next Monday afternoon on tha local diamond. Among the upils who have return ed to achool are Mildred Ross, Ger aldine Ross, Eldred Price, Paul Hop kins and Gwendolyn Compton. A kick by a horse was the cause of Paul's absence.

Superintendent Fitzpatrick will at tend the spring meeting of the East ern Oregon Association of Superin tendents and Principals to be held in La Grande tomorrow.

The Women's Missionary society will hold a praise service Friday af ternoon, April 2, at the home of Mrs. Frank Price. ' Mrs. E. M, Smith will entertain at chr home the members of. the Satur day Afternoon club at the meeting sceduled for April 3. Right here In the shortage, the an nouncements of several of these enn dldncles for the presidency look like a total waste of white paper. If Japan sends an army out Into Siberia to battle with the bolshevlkl It will probably take n plentiful supply of Japanese boundary line along. 1 W&mf 1TQme.

A largo portion of tho fund to bo raised In the United Simultaneous Campaign ot the Protestant denomina tion! associated with the Intercburcb World Movement will be ued fof American Mlnlsterlsl support and re lict It ia greatly needed, according to leader of tbe Interchurch Move ment, who early in April ar to bold the conference In this county. As a result of the campaign now being made by the Interchurch World Movement the combined Protestant churches of America will provide many more hospitals, clinics and home for the aged and Infirm. An lntereattng feature of these Protestant hospitals will be free treatment for minister, as recent surveys mad by the Inter church organization have made tho need for special dispensations very obvious. The following startling facta wero dlTulgel as to tbe average salarlea In the various denominations. Starting with the highest, the average for Epia-ccr-a! ministors I J 1,242; the average for Presbyterian (North), $1,177; for the United Presbyterians, $1,09; for the Reformed Church (Dutch), (1470; for the Methodist Episcopal (North), $1,176; Congregational, $1,042, and for tbe Baptists (Northern), $950. With government experts announc ing that $1,500 Is tbe lowest salary upon which a family can be decently maintained and suggesting budgets tor none lower, minister have a discour aging outlook. Such thing as hospi tal bill are almost Impossible to meet, and yet every normal family has aom Illness in its midst every year. Ac cordingly the Interchurch Movement, while on it way to obtain higher aver ages In salarlea, will assist by provid ing tree care in its Institutions. INTERCHURCH MOVEMENT PLANS MEDICAL AID FOR CHINA In no part ot China la there med ical force at all adequate to the needs of the situation. In one province there Is but ono doctor to five million ot people, and missionaries living in lone ly stations must travel many day to procure medical help in caae of need. The program ot the Interchurch World Movement, based on a careful survey, till include the strengthening of present institutions and the opening of a large number of hospitals in new areas where they are most needed. After making the good impression that he did while over here It seems too bad tbe prince of Wales bad to go back and spoil It all by kissing the king. If you would know how a real con temptible quitter Is regarded, observe bow the preacher looks at the man who leaves the meeting house before the hat Is passed round. Statisticians report that there has never been such a demand for luxuries as now. This Is, perhaps, to be ex plained on the ground that everything Is o luxury nowadays. -T rr-
