Wool Consumed in August.

Manufacturers used million and
half more pounds of wool in Au-
gust than in July, 1918. August
figures being 63, 100000 pounds,
grease equivalent, compared to 62,-
100000 in July. Monthly consump-
tion has averaged about $1,000, 900
pounds, grease equivalent, since
January l, 1918.
Stocks of wool consumed in Au-
gust in pounds, by classes, as given
by the Bureau of Markets, were:
Grease, 57,769,216; secured, H.
732,697; and pulled, 2.O14,544. The
reports show Massachusetts still
leading in wool used, followed in
order by Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, New York, New Hamp-
shire, Ohio, Connecticut, and Maine.
According to the latest available
information on wool textile machin-
cry equipment there are 6,377 wool
en- cards and 1898 combs in the
United States. The three firms
whose reports are not included in the
consumption figures have combined
capacity of Is wooden cards and 9
worsted combs. This, it is pointed
out, shows that the consumption re-
port includes 99.7 per cent of the
woolen machinery in the United
States.

Women Soldiers.

Advertisements Of Molly Pitcher Of
Revolutionary fame as the first femi
nine soldier in the United States have
appeared. Perhaps she was the first,
but certainly she wasn't the only one
or the last
There was Nancy Hart Of Georgia,
who took ten Tories prisoners; Debo-
rah Sampson of Massa sachusetts,w who en-
listed in the Continental army, fought
in battle after battle, her sex unsus-
pected, and headed military expedi-
tions; Frances Hook of Illinois, who
served in the Union army during the
Civil war; Frances Wilson of New
Jersey, Mary Ovens of Pennsylvania,
Major Belle Reynolds of Illinois.
Most famous OF our Joans of Arc
were Major Pauline Cushman, Fed

FAMOUS FIELD OF BLOOD"
Said to Be Spot Judas Purchased
With the Silver for Which He
Sold His Master.

Just outside the walls of jerusalem
In the Valley of Hinnom, Is a rocky
plain known as the Aceldama or
Field of Blood. 1t is the potter's field
purchased with the 80 pieces of silver
for which Judas sold his master. Here
for centuries visitors TO the holy city,
dying while on their pilgrimage found
resting place.
Gray and barren, II is a deSolate
spot, solitary but for the chance Wis
itor and few withered gray-clad
monks from nearby monastery. For
a small fee, one of these ancient re-
cluses will show you the sights of the
place. Caves and underground pas
sages, honeycombed with tombs, are
cut in the rocky field. Your guide
leads you down age-worn steps, cut
perhaps in the sixth century, into
crumbling halls. His torch casts flick
ering uncanny shadows on the damp
gray walls. The place seems to re-

of Sleep" the hall of the dead. On
one side is the tomb of some warrior
monk who followed the fortunes of
Richard Lion Heart of England to the
holy land, dying at the very gates of
the city his master had hoped to con-
Quer. He must have died penniless,
too, as so many of these zealots did,
else his bones had not rested in the
potter's field.
Near Aceldama is a ruined charnel
house, said to have been built by the
Crusaders for their dead. Ii is a tum-
bling ruin, nearly thirty feet long by
twenty wide, with one side of naked
rock. Beneath it are two of the larg-
est cavelns, their rock sides pierced
with tombS and shallow graves. In
the roof Of the ruin are holes through
which the bodies of the dead were
lowered.
The Field Of Blood is on the north
eastern slope OF the Hill of Evil Coun-
Gil, where tradition says The villa of
Caiaphas stood, and where the chief
priest aud elders plotted the eXecu-
zion OF Jesus.

SOMETHING MORE THAN "T0Y"
Quaint Old Legend Having to Do With
PIow Is Peculiarly Appropriate
Just Now.

There is a quaint old legend of Al
SAGE, recalls the Christian Science
Monitor, concerning a family of giants
who, once upon time, lived in ccr-
tain castle in the old country. The
moral Of the story seems appropriate
at time when the French minister
Of agriculture is making special eff
fort to encourage the cultivation of
land.
The giants lived, says the legend,
far from the peasants Of the plain and
one day the daughter OF the house,
who though quite child, was already
thirty feet high, strolled toward a
plain and saw laborer peacefully
plowing his fields. She picked up the
peasant, the horse and the plow and
out them in her pinafOre and returned
to the castle to show what she had
found to her father.
"What you think is but toy" said
the giant, "is what produces the food
which enables us to live. Put back
the laborer and his horse where you
found them" From that time onward,
adds the tale, the peasants were never
molested by the giants.

lrrigon Boy Takes In
State Fair.

Irrigon, Oregon, October 8, 1918.
Editor Gazette Times,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Sir
Mrs. Shurte asked me to send
copy of my story to one of the local
papers for publication about my
trip to the State Fair, so l will ask
you to publish the following:
Il took up tho corn growing this
summer as could see a double
advantage to it. Having taken up
the pig club work, l had to have
something to feed and fatten the
pigs before could market them but
did not think much about getting a
free trip to the State Fair until our
School Supt. Mrs. Shurte informed
me ct the County Fair that | had
the first prize on my corn and a fire,
trip to the State Fair, not only that
but second prize on my pigs tco.
My father needed me very bad to
help out on the chores as we have six
COWS and other stock besides 25 pigs
but he said | must go and did and
sure enjoyed myself and learned a
lot about corn and other thIGSs. The
speakers at meal times interested me
and | tried to get every word they
said, The corn Judge gave the boys
a talk on how to judge corn and how
to select good seed. l got fifth prize
at the State Fair and am going to
try to do better next year.
One afternoon we took in the
sights at Salem, the Capitol Build
ing, asylum and the penitentiary.
Saturday morning we packed up our
things and said goodbye to every
body. l will never forget the good
time had and will do everything
can to get others to take up the club
work next year.
Yours truly,

Farm Notes by The
County Agent

Some time ago the county agent
&as notified to send out blanks to all
owners and operators of threshing
machines notifying them that they
were required to make report on
the acreage and amount of grain
threshed. A number have answered
promptly while Others are apparently
not taking this request as applying
to them. 81 farmers have reported
harvesting 21,991 acres yielding
1S4,529 bushels or little better
than eight bushels per acre.
With most of the winter wheat
averaging from II to 90 bushels one
can realize the advantage gained by
sowing in the fall. Spring wheat in
some cases made as much as the
winter wheat on the neighboring
farm bat the average must have been
less than half in to lower the average
70 eight bushels.
The National Council of Defense
has notified the county agent to urge
the planting of winter wheat for an
increase of ten to forty per cent over
last year but this urging hardly
seems necessary after a glance at the
figures given below. The Extension
Division of the state with the Farm
Crops department has announced the
acreage for winter wheat in Morrow
county as follows: Minimum A.
100 acres, maximum $4,000 acres,
the season is favorable so let's forget
the fellow who is continually saying
that the Morrow county farmer must
SOW spring wheat and do even better
than the maximum.
The varieties that have given the
best results over a period CT years
are Turkey Red, FortyFold, and
Biuestem and in that order of i'm
portance. Hybrid s. is showing
great promise and after another
years testing will show how it stands
compared to the leader Turkey Red,
The farmer who knows his land will
have little difficulty in choosing the
right variety and now is the time to
seed.

Medicinal Literature.

The London Lancet departs for
moment from the austere halls of sci
ence to adventure into the fields and
gardens of literature, though keeping
one foot safe within the accustomed
medical precincts. The Lancet dis
cusses nothing less worthy than the
works, writings, theories, maxims and
pleasantries of Master Francois Ra-
belais, the point being that his diver
sions into letters were simply part Of
his days work as a practical medico
He wrote, the Lancet assures us, not
for the untold generations of the fu-
ture, not for the delectatiOn of our
own selves, but solely and strictly to
amuse, hearten and brace up the spr-
its of his patients during the tedium
of their illness, thereby aiding his
cures and adding to his stature as a
member Of the faculty.
Master Francois was great believ-
er In the therapeutic value Of litera-
ture.

..GREATER FLORIDA" MEN
TO MEET IN LEESBURG

1
Leesburg, Fla, July 8.-Of con-
siderable interest to the people of the
state is the meeting of the directors
of the Greater Florida association,
which president G. G. Ware of this
place has called to be held here July
20th
Mr.. Ware called the meeting after
conference with some of the direc-
tors who came here to discuss the
present situation.
It is understood that the meeting
will be for the purpose of devising
methods of thoroughly cooperating
with other organizations in the state
| in making such representations to
Washington as may be necessary to
secure positive assurances of proper
facilities for the transportation of
Florida's perishables next season in
their movement to the North.
1t is said that the matter of urging
the advisability of keeping open GER
, tain tourist routes to Florida, also,
may receive consideration Estimates
of the effect upon the northern coal
situation of the removal to Florida of
thousands of winter residents will
probably be presented at the meeting.
The matter of the movement of per-
ishable fruits and vegetables proba-
bly, will receive first consideration.
Other organizations, notably the Flor
| ida Citrus Exchange have the same
ting under consideration; and the
meetinse here will probably evolve a
plan which. will focus the energy Of
all those desiring to work to this end
upon the matter in ouch way as to
assure action.
The directors expected to p2rtici-
pate in the meeting, who represent
every section and industry of the
state, are: G. G. Ware, Leesburg, F.
c., Grower, Jacksonville; D. C. Gil
lette, Tampa; 2. C. Chambliss, Ocala;
W. A. Blount, Pensacola; j. M. Bur
