Eight Mile Squibs.

Miss Viva Jones of the HeppEer High
School spent Sunday with her parents
on Eightmile.
Miss Esther Johnson, of Heppner
spent Sunday with Miss Addie Anderson
on Eightmile.
Jessie Coats finished his spring seed
ing last Saturday and has started sum-

Miss Bertha Huston spent Sunday
with her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. j.
p. Hadley, of Hardman.
We are informed that Emmett Jones
has rented farm near Heppner and
intends moving there coon.
Il Leathers stopped at G. E. Jonses'
Friday night on his way to Hardman
with bunch OF cattle for Chas. Ward.
C, E. Jones, County Road Viewer,
started for Parkers Mill Monday to view
a road from the county line down Rock
Creek, to connect with the County road
running to Spray.
As grand a sight as one would care to
see was that at the home OF W. w. Bran
non on Eightmile, Wednesday of last
week. Owing to severe illness in his
family for some time, Bro. Brannon was
prevented from putting in his spring
grain, and was not able to hire it done.
This, with his sickness and other hard
luck generally, was putting him in a
position that later on he would have
nothing TO speak of IN the wsy OF Teve-
nue., and it appealed to his neighbors
and brethren of the Farmers Uniou as
case where the Good Samaritan"
part could be played with credit, and a
worthy brother and neighbor be given a
lift worth while, So the matter was
brought up at a meeting OF the Eight
Mile Local of the Farmers Union and
volunteers were called for to join the
"relef corps" and such glad and un-
animous response as was made ls seldom
witnessed. 1t was stated that Bro.
Brannon had about 35 acres of plowing
vet to do, and about 70 acres to drill,
harrow and clodmash, to get his crop in
as it should be. The proposition OF his
neighbors was to put this in, and do it
right, too. So it was agreed that on
Wednesday they would gather at the
BrauDon place in sufficient number 8,
with proper stock and do the work up in
ship shape. There were lS men and SO
neau OF DOIbcs, All hb HUIh dt OIO tttnD
and the plowing, narrowing. drilling and
elodmashIng moved right along like one
grand piece Of machinery, and at the
end of the day the work was done and
the crop all 10. 1t was estimated that
the stock alone used in this wo rep
resented value of SIG, 600. The entire
outfit was photographed by Eli Carpen-
ter. of HeppDer.
This piece of work illustrates ons Of
the many phases Of co operation pro-
ynoted bv the farmers Union. 1t NAV
be that Bro Braunon's neighbors would
have taken up this work and carried it
through for him regardless Of this Or
ganization, but there is a long chance
that they would not have done 50, not
90 much because Of a lack Of interest on
the part Of one neighbor in the welfare
of another, but rather because Of some
one to take the proper initiative. The
Union meets regularly, is organized,
and these needs Of neghbors and
brothers IN the uni1n can be brought to
the attention Of the whole neighbofhood
and such cases as this one receive
prompt and necessary attention. Far

WOMEN TO IbD;X MERCHANTS
KANSAS CLUB MEMBERS PLAN
RATING SYSTEM.
Will be Listed in Same Manner
Credit Bureaus are Conducted, in
Effort to Get Good Service.

Topeka, Kansas.-Some of the Kan
sas clubwomen are working on plan
to give the merchants of the various
Kansas towns a rating as to affability
and honesty in business. The mer-
chants have rating card for their
customers. A man who pays his Dllls
promptly is in class A. One who
pays but is a little slow, is in class
B. One who pays finally, but does 1t
on the installment plan and only after
much urging, gets into class c, while
the "deadbeats" are labeled class ID.
The women propose to list all mer-
chants who deliver goods just as ad-
yertised, who are just as careful IN
filling a telephone order as if the
goods were purchased in person as
class A. Glass B would include those
merchants who always delivered the
goods they advertised and who tried
to please their customers, even If they
were handling a slightly inferior grade
of goods than some other merchant.
Glass C merchants would be those
who treated their customers in gruff
manner Where the employees were
Indifferent to the customers or were
sassy and those merchants who tried
substitution or sent out unstable
goods at first class prices and then
refused to adjust the differences
would be put into class D.
1t is not proposed to make this list
a state wide affair, but the club
women in each town are to submit re-
ports of what class they believe each
merchant in their home town should
be in.

BISHOP IS SUED FOR LIBEL
MRS. COPE ASKS FIFTY THOU
SAND DOLLARS DAMAGES.
The Churchman Refuses to Retract
Charges and Committee is Un-
able to Patch Up Trouble.

Topeka, Kansas.-A suit for libel
for $4,000 damages was brought by
Mrs. Carrie Cope against Bishop
David H. Moore of Cincinnati. The
bishop refused to retract his charges
against Mrs. Cope made in letter
relating to trust funds in the care or
the Topeka woman.
Four bishops of the Methodist
church were in Topeka all afternoon
trying to work out settlement or
the legal and personal controversy in
the church growing out of the bequest
Of Mrs. Fannie Murray. When Bishop
Moore refused to retract, all negotia-
tons were off and just as fast as
lawyers could get to the court house
the libel suit was fled Bishop Moore
ly after o'clock.
Mrs. Cope alleges that letter by
Bishop Moore was calculated to in
jure her "as citizen, as wife, as
a mother, and as a Christian" She
declares she has been Inundated,
panied and hurt" and that she is
entitled justly to damages in the sum
of $4,000
That is the second suit Mrs. Cope
has brought. The first one was filed
at Wichita against Mrs. George G.
Robinson of Detroit, president of the
Women's Home Missionary society OF
the Methodist church At the Kan
sas conference at Abilene in March
Bishop Moore wrote letter to Mrs.
Robinson regarding the Murray trust
fund. This letter was circulated by
Mrs. Robinson and caused the libel
suit against her.
