DO YOU KNOW
you are wearing stockings that have been burned? It's a
fact. All black hosiery is dyed by what' is known as the
"oxidized" process, which means nothing less than a "burn
ing" process. That's exactly why even the best stockings
you can buy often "go wrong."
Armor Plate Hosiery
is not dyed by this burning
process. The manufactur
ers have been working for
"years trying to produce a
dye that would not burn
the hosiery,, and they haye
just perfected such a dye
which they have called "Harms Naut Dye." It harms
neither the hosiery nor the skin. The original strength of
every yarn in Armor Plate Hosiery is retained. Hence the
wearers have the assurance of the most serviceable and long
lived hosiery ever manufactured.
For the Entire Family
Armor Plate Hosiery is just as good for the woman who ex
pects service from a light-weight gauze stocking as it is for
the boy who must have a stocking that will stand the strain
and wear.
If you want to cut your hosiery bill in half, in
sist upon Armor Plate Hosiery every time and
for all the family. We earry in stock all the de
sirable sizes, ftyles and weights. Let us show
you hosiery satisf action and economy.

Late This Evening
Fifst In Five Days On the Branch
Trains Will Transfer- Near
Elgin Today.
After a blockade of railway traf
fic for five daysv caused by wash
outs and slides there Is promise of
mall today, Saturday. The gang of
men working on the washouts
of track and bridges between here
and Lostine completed their Job
Friday, aided by the Palmer log-.
jing train that brought a lot of
workmen and bridge timber to as
sist. One of the worst places was
m the swampy ground twol miles be
low town.
The train that has been at this
end of the line all ;weeik went out
this morning and will meet the
La Grande train In the cut below
Elgin, where a big slide Is tlU
obstructing the track. Passengers,
rain crews, mall, baggage and ex
press will be transferred and the
trains will return to their starting
points. This will be the first out-.
3tde mall on the branch since Mon
day, and It Is likely to be pretty
late arriving this evening.
The telephone line to La Grande
is out of commission again, today,
as usual ..just when it is most
needed. There are rumors that the
main line was In trouble yesterday
but no definite Information is ob
tainable.
The' floods have subsided In town
and the damages to bridges and
sidewalks are being repaired. The
bright, warm sunshine and wind of
Thursday and Friday dried the road
except In low places. Saturday is
a typical March day, weather raw
and, windy. .

NO BETTER FRUIT
COUNTRY
ANYWHERE
EXPERT SAYS WALLOWA COUN
TY EXCELS IN COIL AND CLI
MATIC ADVANTAGES.
The following letter to this paper
from the County Fruit Inspector
contains some good Ideas of general
interest:
I wish to preface this article by
stating that there can be no new
facts advanced In the matter of
whether it pays to grow fruit.
Everybody that Is posted at all
and la willing to -take the time to
look up the statistics knows that
fruit grqwing has been and will be
one of the best money-getting and
money-earning Industries for the
husbandman for years to come. The
writer has1 been identified for the
last 20 years with aU kinds of fruit
growing and has been in all the fruit
districts of the Northwest, barring
none, and Wallowa county can and
will produce juat as good fruit as
can be grown In any other fruit dis
trict, and from general observation
I consider the Industry very promis
ing indeed.' Now if our own citi
zens will take on a little more ac
tivity and let the general public
know of the great wealth of choice
alluvial soil that Is so well adapted
to the growing of the apple and
pear, these two great staple commer
cial varieties, would be a step along
the line of progress.
It seems almost needless to repeat
that these two staple fruits have
made several districts wealthy. -
Our county Is what is known as
a diversified fruit growing country.
Some parts grow varieties that
other parts can not, as the climatic
conditions govern; but as a whole
there is no kind of fruit grown In
the Northwest that can not be grown
in Walloiwa county. I have the
temerity to claim that It js the best
county in the state for all kinds
of husbandry and the annual distri
bution' of moisture is of the best.
Little has been done In ai commer
cial way in this section in regard to
fruit, as all of the older orchards
have so many varieties lit is a dif
ficult matter to collect a car-load
shipment of any one variety.
The keeping qualities for commer
cial purposes of fruit ' grown In
thJe district is of the best, the
hardy condition of the trees make
without quesitloni the fruit better,
and apples have been known to
keep in an ordinary cellar from the
fall to the first day of June. These
facts being taken into consideration,
there is no question! but that Wal
lowa county can be known, asi a. fruit
district that can grow first class
commercial' varieties.
What we need and will get is
more people and of the right sort,
the kind that can produce. It will
not be the fellow that says It won't
pay, "It can. not be done" and who
sits around, chews- tobacco, and spits
on the stove,, finds fault with his
neighbor, and is "agin" the govern
ment and law and order. Nor will
it be the looker-on- who watches his
neighbor do things and Is always
talking about his In opportunities and
that he never did have a chance.
But it is the fellow that is a;wake
and knows that he can do it, and
tries to find out how to do It, and
'here are no greater opportunities
anywhere than right here in. Wal
lowa county to get a start In the
fruit Industry and he who takes care
of these advantages .will grow and
prosper, and thereby become a use
ful citizen because he produces
something.
The fruit Industry gives a man
with small means a better oppor
tunity to get & start than, any other
kind of farming, for It takes less
capital and the man who is will
ing to work can In a short time
be Independent.
Whenever person are entering
upon the production of any ne,w in
dustry It Is not all sunshine; there
will be a few storms, but If you
tick you are sure to win.
There to a tendency to specialize
in all kinds of industries, and why
not in farming, and I am of the
opinion that the future success of
the husbandman will be in specializ
ing the fruit product.
The Hon. H. M. Williamson, sec
retary of the state board of horti
culture, in his talk before the Ore
gon Agricultural college voiced these
same statements. He ala stated
that the day for the home orchard
for commercial purposes 1 past,
and that the product of the future
will be in orchards planted and cul
tivated solely for apples and pears,
according to up-to-date and scientific
methods. He also declared that the
Northwest leads all other districts
in scientific orchard practice, which
will tend to centralize the Industry
In this region, thereby making it
eventually supreme. He also states
that there will be no overproduc
tion of fruit and has to support this
statement these facts: That the
consumption is rapidly Increasing,
while the production Is 40 per cent
less than it was 40 years ago.
Why not take advantage of this
cheap land and plant a good com
mercial orchard. Find out what Is
best for your district and plant It.

GRQCERYMEN TALK
T
PUBLICITY FOR THE COUNTRY
8TORE DISCUSSED AT EU,
GENE CONVENTION.
At the Eugene convention of the
retail grocerymen of Oregon, one of
the speakers who addressed tha re-.
callers on the topic, "Advertising a
Country Store," said he did not be
lieve in 'the efficacy of newspaper
advertising. He said he had decid
ed that out of the fulness of his
experience.
This, however, was not the exper
ience of a number of others. The
next man who spoke on the subject
said that in his town there were
three papers, and his store took a
good big space in all of them, not
out of loyalty to the town and not
out of charity to the editors, but
because it paid to do so. He saldi ha
was a firm , believer in advertising
in all Its forms, and the news-paper
wast one of the very best forms.
But, he went on to say, this sort
of advertising which merely an
nounces what your business! is and
that you handle staple and fancy
goods didn't do m'uch good. The
advertiser must be ,wide-awake and
bright. He must say something! and
3ay it strong. Furthermore, he must
make no promises- which he cannot
and will not live up to. If he ad
vertises that he has the best ser
vice In town, he'd- better have the
best service In town, or his adver
tising will Injure him rather than
help him.
A third agreed with what the for
mer speaker had said, and went
itill farther into the matter, touch
ing cleverly on some ot the psychol
ogy ot advertising. When asked
hqw he would advertise, he replied
that it depended altogether on the
nature of the goods he had for sale.
If he werev, striving to sell goods
for men he would make It brief, in
good, big type, catchy and striking,
for men are In a hurry and they
will not stop to read a long-winded
statement or descriptions. Get the
men at one dash or you won't get
them at all. With women, he went
on, it was altogether different. To
