Victor Mills HOnored.

One of the largest social activities
of the season occurred last Wednes-
day evening when over fifty friends

residence on Main street, the occasion
being a reception for Victor Mills and
his newly made bride, who was for
merly Miss Marguerite Cordell of
Berkeley, Cal. The happy couple
were married on August II. soon af-
ter Mr.. Mills had finished his course
at the officers training course at the
Presidio in San Francisco. The occa-
sion was made doubly impressive as
he leaves soon for Fort Stevens for
military service. Mr. Mills received
a second lieutenant's commission In
the Coast Artillery branch of the
service. Several well-rendered vocal
selections by well-known local artists
and general good time made the
evening big success, Refreshments

Winter Wheats Wanted.

o. A. c.. Corvallis, Aug. 25.-Ore-
gon farmers having choice seed wheat
of standard varieties will find the
market very profitable this year, says
G. R. Hyslop, head of farm crops at
10. A. c. BY running the thresher at
low speed the grains will not be
cracked. The grain is then recleaned
in the tanning mill and should be
sold at good seed prices.
Turkey Red, Forty-Fold and Little
Club should be placed on the market
at once. White winter barley and
choice gray oats, sound, plump, heavy
and clean, are needed. d.
Inquiries for seed are already
reaching the Agricultural College at
Corvallis and growers are urged to
send in lists of these and all others
for sale.l The college will again keep
lists of available seeds, which will be
mailed on request.
"Tell the college the seed you have
and the seed you need, and we shall
do our part as a clearing house. The
nation must have lot of fall grain
for use early next summer, and there
lis scarcity of Seed" says Mr..
Hyslop.

Fruit and Farm
Don't Hoard Your Food.

l
The September Woman's Home
Companion says:
In times of need 1t is natural to
hoard. This is primitive instinct.
Many animals hoard food for the win
ter, and usually 1t is when their food
is plentiful, vastly in excess of their
needs. 1t may indeed be said to be
the general rule that, If unlimited
food supplies are available, animals
that hoard will do so in excess of the
needs of the season.
"This is also true of human beings.
When they hoard they hoard unwise-
lily and in excess of their needs. and
the result is the same as in the case
of animals. Food is lost through de-
composition. From the standpoint of
the economy of the purchaser this is
the first reason against boarding.
"The second reason against hoard
ing is that of driving up all the prices.
No matter whether the demand is
natural or artificial, the result upon
the price is the same. The act of
boarding, therefore, is social crime
in that it drives up the price of liv-
ing for the individuals who do not
hoard, and to the profit of no one. I"

DR.. Buchannon and son and Doc
Saunders of the Austin barber shop
returned Thursday evening from
weeks outing at Lost lake. They
went hunting out that way Sunday.
They saw lots of deer but failed to
bag any-possibly afraid to shoot lest
they injure the creatures-however,
the deer would have been in no dan
ger, They say Lost lake is full of
trout-a splendid fishing hole-in
most picturesque regions. Lost lake
is formed by great slide which,
thousands Of years ago, filled the
base of the canyon, leaving the side
of the mountain SCARED mile high
where the strata broke loose and
rolled down. They went out the Dead
Indian route. returning through the
Antelope country, which they say is
much the best road.
