A Good Position.

Can be had by ambitious young
men and ladies in the field of
wireless" or railway telegraphy.
Since the 8-hour law became
effective, and since the wireless
companies are establishing sta
tions throughout the country
there is a great shortage of tel
egraphers. Positions pay from
$40 to $50 per month with good
chance for advancement. The
National Telegraph Institute of
Portland, Oregon, operates under
supervision of R. R. and wireless
officials and places all graduates
into positions. 1t will pay you to

Boosters---Nit!

The High School football team
is putting in some good hard licks
this week in preparation for the
gruelling contest with lone High,
Saturday afternoon. The work
of getting team into shape has
not been an easy matter, but the
boys have worked diligently and
now feel that they can put up a
good stiff game with lone. A few
of the wiseacres of the town, in
showing their good sportsmanship
have placed their meager sums
on the lone team, thereby show
ing their loyalty to the home team
and placing themselves on record
as loyal boosters. Of course, to
the average Heppner citizen of
several years residence, this is
only to be expected, as the same
loyal" spirit has ever been mani
tested toward the home team.
And yet, these same boosters,
when found away from home,
are always making the loudest
noise about hailing from Heppner.
Just where the consistency of
their actions comes in ishard to see.
but here's hoping they will lose
their money next Saturday.

The Karakul Sheep.

A new breed Of foreign sheer
that may be produced in large
numbers in certain parts of the
United States before many years,
and should be especially adapted
to this section. 1t is called the
Karakul, and belongs to the high
lands of Bokara in the central
part of Asaia. Their size is large
and they are very hardy, carrying
wool that is long, thick, and
curly with a lustre equal to that
of the finest mohair.
In referring to- the karakul
breed of wool producers an ex-
change says:
"The breed is SO highly priced
by the natives that exports are
strictly forbidden. In spite of
these difficulties, fifteen speci-
mems were secured a few years
ago by DR.. G. C. Young, who has
a ranch in northwestern Texas,
and were brought by him to this
country and used for crossing on
Lincoln, Shropshire and Merino
ewes. An article by a writer in
Animal Husbandry, quoted in the
Literary Digest, gives this and
more detailed information. The
best results in wool have been
obtained from crosses on the
breeds, particularly
Cotswolds, and Wens-
leydales. The fieeces are said to
show lustre almost equal to An
CORA, and far superior to the
original full blood specimens. A
skin of a three-fourths bred Kar-
akul-Shropshire was priced at !
$40. DIR. Young, from experience, :
says that skins, the produce of |
1alf-bred Karakul-Lincoln bucks +
on any of the long-wooled I
breeds, will sell readily at from +
IS to $40. +
THE Karakuls grow rapidly, h
will stand both draught and
evere weather, and live on a
mall amount of food. They
produce mutton that is particu-
arly sweet and tender. J
"Dr. Young writes in the New f
,ork Herald of September Is RI
hat he has obtained a fresh con- h
ession to bring over fifty more
1arakuls. He is starting shortly e
or his second trip across the
eserts of central Asia and hopes
, be accompanied by an expert
rom the department of agricul- :,
lre."

and what ought to be done for
the welfare of childhood. all the
leading educational institutions of
the city will be represented and
all phases of child-life will be
touched upon.
More and more people are be-
gining torealize that the welfare
of the child is the welfare of the
nation and the salvation Of the
race. The state must provide
for the needs of childhood, but it
must first be brought home to all
citizens what the needs of the
child are.

of Portland; Arthur Evan Wood,

tions which have for their pur-
pose educational work and men
tai development. Moving pic
lures will be used to show the
value of pictures in school work.

will be free to all, and everyone
in children is invited

A brief ordinance which the City
Council of Chicago passed recently was
decl AIRED by city officials to be an
effective blow struck at the high cost of
living and powerful inducement for
fair and keen competition The ordi-
nance requires retail merchants handling
fruits and vegetables to sell these COM
modities by weight instead of measure.
The only exceptions to the rule of selling
by weight are berries, cherries and
asparagus.
An ordinary peck measure of potatoes
yields twelve pounds of potatoes, while
by weight peck shonld amount tc
fifteen pounds.
Apples by peck measure yield about
nine pounds of fruit, while by weight
the customer should receive twelve and
one-half pounds. Onions weigh four
teen and one-quarter pounds to the
peck, while experience shows that the
average peck measure yields only
eleven and one-half pounds of onions.
A bushel of spinach weighs twelve
pounds and a peck three pounds. By
peck measure it has been found thai
one and one half pounds of spinach fills
the measure unless it is packed tightly.

Corn Growing Contest for Add S o n
County.

About week ago invitations were
sent to several representative men in
Addison county to meet at Middebury
on Saturday, December 8, for dinner
and talk over the project of holding
corn growing contest in Addison county
next year. Fourteen enjoyed dinner
at The Addison where the tables were
decorated with prize ears of corn grown
by l.. w. Peet of Cornwall, whose corn
has ranked near the highest in the corn
shows of Massachusetts for the past two
years. After dinner the company went
to the Y. M. c. A. rooms and formal
meeting was held. Hon. Frank L. Fish
of Vergennes presided. The following
men were present: Of the Y. M. C. A.,
County Secretary ]. Sterling Moran,
State Secretary Byron N. Clark and
Chairman of State Committee w. J.
Van Patten of Burlington, Inter-
national Secretary of County Work
Henry Israel of New York; of the
farmers, l.. w. Peet of Cornwall, C. o.
Hubbard of Whiting, Commissioner of
Agriculture Orlando L. Martin; J. E.
Weeks, President of the Addison
County Agricultural society, Willis N.
Cady, Master of C. J. Bell Pomona
Grange, r. L. Barrows of Vergennes,
Prof. l. w. Davis, professor of
pomology in Middlebury college, Supt.
C. H. Wiley of Bristol and A. W.
Eddy of Middlebury. Regrets were
received from Governor Mead, Supt.
Mason S. Stone, President Thomas,
and Editor McCuen and County Secre-
tary Hurd of Windsor county.
The whole project was discussed in
formally for over an hour. There was
a unanimous opinion that such a contest
should be held along somewhat moderate
lines, that the real merit involved lay in
getting up an interest in raising
superior crops rather than in winning
large prizes. The main features of the
first contest will be growing, though
there will probably be other features of
interest, such as reports of expert
ments to raise the character of the
crop as well as the production. At a
later meeting definite proposals will be
made regarding classes, prizes, etc.
A committee was appointed to submit
proposals consisting of Arthur Eddy, j.
Sterling Moran, Clarence Wiley, Willis
N. Cady and Eugene l.. Eddy. The
committee will report at the Y. M. C. A.
dinner to be held at Middlebury in Jan
uary, and it is hoped that large
7 number of men will be present at that
time.
