Luckily For tho Aviator, H0 Was Out
Of Range Of the Drops.
1t will be easily understood, writes
@. G. Grey In Tales Of the Flying
Service" that before bullet that has
been shot straight upward begins to
fall there must be a point where Il
stands dead still and that for the last
part Of Its upward fight 1t travels very
slowly. One officer Of my acquaintance
told me, after some months Of war,
that his most curious experience was
when once, and once only, he dIscov.
cred the exact extreme range point
He was flying along quite peacefully
on bright, sunny morning at an alti.
tude Of little over 5000 feet, without
worrying about anything. when sud.
denly lie saw something bright dart
past tho side of the machine. He be-
gan to look about him and saw, a
shade below him and trife to- one
side, whole stream OF little bright
things glittering in the sun.
Then he realized that he had Just
struck level that happened to be the
extreme vertical range Of machine
gun that was making uncommonly
good shooting. Other bullets from
rifles and other machine guns also
flashed Into view as he few along, and
when his eyes caught the right focus he
could follow the slow, topmost part of
their movement for considerable dis
lance. ut looked" be said, "just as II
1t were raining upward" and the phe-
nomenon was so novel that he quite
forgot for time that the "raindrops"
indicated that he was unpopular with
some one below.

School District Budget

To the Clerk of School District No. 90.
Umatilla County, Oregon:
Following is statement of the es-
timated amount Of money needed by
the district during the fiscal year be-
ginning June 18th, 1917 and ending on
June 30, 1918. This budget is made
in compliance with Section 217 Of the
School Laws of 1917, and includes the
estimated amounts to be received
from the county school fund, state
school fund. special district tax and all
other moneys of the district:

Too much care and courtesy can
not be exercised on the part OF auto
drivers as to dimming the lights when
meeting other vehicles on the roads
at night. Idaho is behind in laws
compelling the dimming of lights,
but this should not deter drivers from
following this custom. Some cars are
provided with various devices for
dimming lights. while some have
lamps that do not require this prac-
tice. However. dangers of accidents
will be much lessened If all will fol-
low the custom OF dimming their
lights when meeting other vehicles
on the streets at night, and we hope
to see the practice put inc more gen.
eral use on our highways.

Floor Plan.

the manure made by an animal weigh
Ing 1000 pounds, when fed a liberal
milk ration in a good dairy stable.
where both the solids and the liquids
could be saved. Keeping up the rich
ness of the soil is the greatest problem
that farmers have to deal with. If the
COW will help the farmer in this re-
spect to the extent Of $50 year. the
problem is obviously simplified great
ly.
To save this fertilizer, the stable
floor must be made Of concrete and
manure absorbents must be used. The
cattle must be supplied literally with
bedding, which should consist of straw.
If the straw is run through the cut
ting box, 1t makes a better bedding
and absorbs a great deal more mois-
ture than long straw. The next best
absorbents for liquid manure are
ground phosphate rock and gypsum
Gypsum is sulphate Of lime and phos-
phate rock carries phosphoric acid, both
OF which, under usual conditions, are
very beneficial to the soil. They are
both known as ammonia fixers, as they
absorb ammonia from manure and hold
II until they are applied to the soil
There Is II great deal more ammonia
In liquid than in solid manure. Am
monia Is strong nitrogen compound
and Is extremely volatile, so unless 1t
Is combined with some chemical of an
affinitive nature, 1t floats away In the
atmosphere and is probably lost to
that particular farm.
BY the proper and careful use of
cut straw for bedding, together with
liquid manure absorbents, the manure
Is collected and temporarily preserved,
but 1t must be applied to the land al
most Immediately or heavy losses will
occur.
While the properly fed and housed
COW will supply $50 worth of manure,
1t Is up to the farmer to utilize this
valuable by-product to the best advan-
tage in order to secure the benefits
The best method would be to make
daily application with a good manure
spreader on land that is thoroughly
well fitted to receive it. With a proper
ly arranged manure carrier 1t costs
very little to load the manure into the
spreader and unload it upon the land
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1917-08-16

There are, however. difficulties and
limitations which no farmer can con-
troll. Climatic conditions In the win
ter time are such as 10 render this
kind of disposal almost impossible for
days together. There are weather pc
RODS when the ground is too soft for
load and IL is difficult 10 have field
prepared To receive manure ut all
times. Ii is possible 10 foreStall such
difficulties TO Il certain extent by start
ing operations ON the land during the
summer and fall, making ready for EN-
ergencies.
In order 10 obtain the best results,
the manure must be spread ON the soil
evenly. The theory is that 4 SlnSu

whether he will like 1t or not, but
when he discovers that it pays there Is
no further question. The farmer is
lucky who starts a real dairy business
in a carefully designed and well con-
structed dairy barn, whether 1t be
little or big. A good dairy stable is
just as necessary to dairy farmers as
ii store is to merchant.
The barn illustrated is only 60 by
30 feet in size but it embodies all the
essential features of "a good dairy
stable without any of the fancy frills
that run into unnecessary expense. In
the dairy stable end OF the building
there are pair of foul air yentilating
fues to carry off the stable air from
the alleyways behind the stalls. The
stock shed end of the barn is supposed
to ventilate through the big door and
windows.
This stock enclosure was designed
to suit farmers who raise a few head
of purebred cattle each year and want
a safe, comfortable place to keep them
during the winter. Any special ar
rangement Of this part of the building
is easily made.
One silo is sufficient for barn Of
this size. In the plans. provision is
made for an overhead track to extend
from the silo through the feed alley
to the cattle shed: Other overhead
tracks are Intended for manure car
riers and these may run through into
the cattle shed in the same way. The
location of these tracks will be deter
mined by tire manner In which the
farmer takes care of shed manure.
There Is only one way to handle COW
stable manure, and that is to get 1t en-
tirely away from the premises as
quickly as possible. In stable of this
kind 1T would be much better to re-
move the shed manure at the same
time because this shed Is intimately
connected with the COW stable and the
odor from carelessly- kept cattle shed
would be Objectionable. Dairy men
cannot be too particular. The nature
of the business demands the strictesi
cleanliness.

Hoover Begins Work
A Washington dispatch says:

washington dispatch says:
Herbert Hoover today began his
drive in high prices.
His first effort Is directed toward
lowering and stabilizing the price of
the American loaf. His next step
will be 10 stabilize prices on canned
goods. meats and other foodstuffs.
He started today by serving notice
on wheat barons that he will vigor-
ously enforce the food control law
and declared the government is pre-
pared to buy the whole 1917 wheat
harvest-approximately 65O,OOO,OOO
bushels-if necessary to protect both
producer and consumer. He called
upon all elevators, millers, distrib
utors and bakers to restrict margins
of profits
Here is what he proposes to do,
starting September l:
License all elevators and
mills over 100 barrels daily ca
pacity.
open government agencies to
purchase wheat at all the prin-
cipal terminals and resell at rea-
sonable prices for export and to
millers.
establish a committee under
Presiden: Garfield, Williams col
lege, to determine a fair price
Tor the 1917 wheat harvest
~
call upon elevators and mill
ers to nix price schedule based
on patriotism, designed to stab
ilize the price of wheat. four
and finally. bread.
TO insure response. Hoover will
issue licenses only to those elevators
and millers who guarantee to charge
reasonable price for warehouse
service, to store no wheat more than
81 days withiut his APPROVAL. and to
submit regular reports on receints
ana shipments. Grain exchanges have
been asked to suspend all quotations
on future wheat.
PERSONS whether or not engaged
In the tradez-holding wheat or -four
contracts larger than necessary for
ordinary business will be prosecuted
and are advised to "liquidate their
contracts ct once"
To encourage home production of
Hour, Hoover will stipulate for =
large proportion of -four export in
stead of wheat.

TRIALS WILL
Be; POSTPONED
TILL JAN. IS
Jurors are to be Summoned
to Appear on that Date
Instead of January 8.

The jury which is to hear the cases
submitted for trial to h district
court during the coming January
term, will be notified to appear. at the
county court house on January 10
instead of January s, as had been
originally arranged. An announce
ment to that effect was made by Dis
trict Judge Charles NJ. Cooley this
afternoon.
The reason for the change Of dates
is said to be the fact that practically
all the local attorneys are so busily
engaged in aiding registrants for the
military service that they feel they
must ask for an extension OF time IN
which to prepare their cases for trial
in the district court.
The situation is unprecedented. and
never before in the history OF the bar
of. this city has sue demands been
made upon attorneys as just at this
time. All of the attorneys who are
preparing cases for the January term
of court have devoted many hours to
the task of helping, registrants in
making correct and complete answers
to the missionaries which are being
sent out from the local draft board.
Furthermore. it is said that a num-
her of lawyers have devoted much en-
ira time to the registrants in their
own offices. While most. of the legal
advice is given at appointed hour in
the county court house, some of 1t is
asked by registrants who come direct
to, the office of lawyers whom they
know and who have been recommend
ed to them. Registrants agree tina
they have found the lawyers ready to
help them at any time no matter how
