II She Had Been A Muly Cow This
Wouldn't Have Happened.

Roy Ayers, son of j. T. Ayers
of Butter creek, is minus little fin
ger today as the result of an encoun-
ter with a stubborn milk COW at the
Ed Neill ranch last week.
Young Ayers, who has been work.
ing for Mr.. Neill, was in the barn as
sisting Mr.. Neill with the milking
when this cowbrute made bolt for
the door. In an attempt to head her
off, Ayers threw up one hand and the
point of one of the horns of the COW
caught under ring on the boys lit
tie finger. The result was that the
little finger was torn completely off
just above the first joint.
The COW went out Of the barn and
took a piece of Ayers little finger
with her. Mr. Neill brought the
young man to town where he receiv-
ed medical and surgical assistance
and the injury is now reported to be
healing nicely.

The Snakes Are Out in December

Can you beat it? The snakes are
crawling around in the middle of win
ter. August Rainier, Heppner Flat
farmer brought small blow snake
into town Saturday. He had picked

The postoffice department Is au-
thorized to establish village delivery
service in towns having postoffices
of the third class, or of the second
class not entitled to city delivery.
Postmaster Richardson says that
Heppner may avail itself of this ser
vice, although the government re-
quirements are that certain civic i'm
provements must be made before the
service is inaugurated. The improve
ments include suitable side walks,
cross walks, street signs and house
numbers.
In order that the service may be OBJ
tanned, the department must be ass
ured of two things. These are that
the civic improvements have been
made or will be made within a reas-
enable length of time, and it must al
so be shown that the delivery service
is desired by a majority of the res
idents Of the town.
The receipts of the local postoffice
for the year 1916-1917 have exceed
ed $1,000 each year, thereby entitl-
ing Heppner to be designated as
second class postoffice instead of
postoffice of the third class.

help displaced by farm machinery,
power and skillful management; lady

withwork at the same time at night,
which means supper before chores. We
should have pure bred crops and raise
the production thereof above the aver
age and break the record for your sec
tion of the coutry by scientific seed
selection. skillful tillage of soil, right
fertilizing and correct irrigation. Raise
all you can of what you consume. Pat
ronize home industry in buying and
doing. There is everything in cooper
alton with ranch book keeping, pure
bred farm animals, planning, reading.
learning. etc. This all means keep
ing ninety nine per cent of boys and
girls on the farm. We should culti-
