Potato Crop Short.

The potato harvest is about to be
launched in this valley and the fact
Is now well known that the entire
crop will be less than half Of what It
was last year, says the La Grande OBJ
server. In the Imbler vicinity lack
OF water has reduced the crop to ap-
proximately 30 carloads, where last
year 10 were shipped out. This same
ratio holds good over all parts OF the
valley. What the potato growers need
is water-water in regular manner
such as irrigation will afford.
Potatoes are rapidly forging to the
front and will soon be classed along
with the apple and grain products OF
the valley. A few years ago potatoes
were raised, not as a principal crop on
any ranch, but as side issue. Now
II is different for, as was demonstrate
ed last year, there is enormous profit
in raising "spuds' in this valley But
It Is impossible to do It along extern
sive scales without irrigation.

Did you ever have the grip, ache all
over in spots, and have your head feel
as though you'd been out the night
before trying to make milwaukee
famous" when in reality you went to
bed at Z 80 with an antifloogistine
plaster over your wishbone and your
system full of hot lemonade and flax
seed tea and your mouth all puckered
up with quinine? Pa says there is
no parting so bitter as the parting of
a quinine capsule just as you are In
the act of swallowing it. Ma hasn't
any Doctors diploma, but when it
comes to things like grip or cold, she
knows the proper dope to knock them
silly. And when you're coming
through, she knows how to make the
dandy broth and gelatine and poached
eggs and lots of things to bring you
right up on the bit and make you feel
like old self again. We have all the
things and lots more, like olive oil
and grape juice and stuff to tone up
your system after you have been up

SODA AND BOTTLING WORKS
Work on Gideon Stolz Company's s
New Factory in Dallas Begins
Today.

The proposed bottling factory in
Dallas will be in active opera
ton within short time, as the machin-
cry for the plant has already been
ordered, and work has been COM
menced on the erection OF the build
ing.
+ Gideon Stolz, Of Salem, man of
years Of experience in the business, is
managing the enterprise, and has
already shown by the activity with
which he is carrying on his prepara-
tions, that he intends to make it an
early and complete success. When
Mr., Stolz and his son, Walter, came
over from Salem yesterday morning
at 10 o'clock, they had formulated no
definite plans concerning the erection
of the factory, but so prompt and
effective was their action after their
arrival in this city that before 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon they had all the
necessary lumber on the ground and
had the carpenters at work on the
foundations.
Mr.. Stolz says that the soda works
will be installed first, and later he
intends to enlarge the business so as
to comprise the bottling of fruit juices
and the manufacture Of vinegar, a
business in which he has won wide
and richly deserved fame. He will
later undertake the manufacture of
sprays In which he has previously
met with good success.
He says that he can promise the
people of Dallas bottling plant as
extensive and we'll equipped as is
generally found in city OF $4,000
inhabitants, and adds that he is con-
vinced that the market will fully
warrant his action.
Dudley Purvine. the general fore
man of Mr.. Stolz's establishment in
Salem, will superintend the construc-
ton of the Dallas factory and the
installation of the machinery.
