Prospects are that there will be some extra good potatoes grown in the Weston country this year, thus indicating an extra fine display of spuds at the Umatilla County Potato Show to be held in Weston Saturday, October 28. Reports are that the PUBLIC SCHOOL Vote 314 x Yes The purpose of the compulsory public school attendance bill is to Insure the Instruction of all Oregon children of grammar school age In a common language, a common history and common Ideals, to the end that American unity shall be promoted, American ideals safeguarded and American Insti tutions perpetuated. This bill la proposed because Its supporters believe that only by universal education of our children on standard and uniform lines can these things be achieved. This bill proposes no religious restrictions. It contemplates no limitation of the right of the parent to teach religion to his child in his own way and according to his own belief. It raises no Issue of religious difference. This bill Is purely a measure to Insure that all children by attending the public schools shall be taught alike during their grammar school years, so that their outlook may grow to be a unified outlook for the common weal and for their country and its institutions. To make an all-American nation we must have all-Amorlcan Instruction Of our children along recognised Btandard lines. Ignorance of American Ideals and Institutions and language is the greatest menace to them, because those who do not understand them properly do not support them. One Flag One School One Language P.

Knobby and inferior pota toes will be the exception. Commit teemen having the event in charge are therefore hopeful that the first potato show ever held in Weston will prove to be a pronounced suc cess, .especially since many other attractive products will be shown to round out the potato exhibits. An of spuds to the acre is said to be average yield of around 70 sacki in prospect from upland fields. Mrs. Lillian McMorris was enter tained Wednesday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Cook in Walla Walla. She also visited Mrs. Sarah Funk. County officers made a trip up Pine creek Wednesday to investigate a report that "moonshine" was being manufactured somewhere along the creek. They jnade a careful search of the premises of W. P. Cable, who gave the visitors every assistance and invited them to explore his house also if they wished. Nothing was discovered. James Com p ton, who has been raising spuds for many years in the Weston country, says he never had a better crop of better potatoes than he has just dug at the Harry McBride place on Wild, Horse creek. Three and three-quarter acres of measured ground, and not bottom land at that, yielded 307 sacks of netted gems of uniformly choice quality. Wesley Larder, formerly a well known farmer of the Weston moun tain district, is here for a visit with the H. Waddinghams and other friends. It is Mr. Larder's first trip to Weston since he located in Ash land ten years ago. He is accom panied by Mrs. George Larder and her little daughter. J. M.

Nothing but the brick walls will be utilized of the present structure, which will be converted into a mod ern bungalow with eight rooms and Lath, concrete basement and furnace heat. Professor B. B. Smith, formerly connected with the Weston Normal as teacher of commercial subjects, visited Weston Tuesday. This is first visit since leaving here twenty years ago. Since that time he has been located in Washington, D. C, but he has returned to the west to take charge of commercial work in Walla Walla college. Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Larson, Miss Glenadine and Ralph Larson of Wal la Walla, and Mr. and Mrs. Sim J. Culley and Miss Maxine Culley of Weston were entertained at dinner Sunday by Mr. and Mrs; G. DeGraw at their home on Water street Ralph Larson, who wants to see as much country as possible while the seeing is good, is leaving soon for South America. He lately retwrned from a long stay in Alaska. A feature of Potato Day at Wes ton October 28 will be the football game between Weston High school and the Zeta Phi Epsilon fraternity of Whitman college. The game will derive added interest from the fact that W. H. S. alumni, Jones and Bulfinch, will play against the col ors they once wore. While paring spuds for breakfast Friday morning at her home on Reed and Hawley mountain, Mrs. Grady Herndon accidentally slashed her left hand near the thumb and severed the palmer artery. The profuse bleed ing which resulted was stopped as well as could be done by household means, and Mrs. Herndon was hur riedly brought to town by her hus band. The .wound received adequate attention at Dr. McKinney's office. The recent bulge in wheat led to unusual activity in the local market, where Frank Price of the Weston Warehouse Co. took on about 36,500 bushels Saturday at one dollar per bushel for 58-pound wheat One lot of 30,000 bushels was represented in the transaction. Purchases made by S. A. Barnes aggregated about 30,000 bushels.
