MORROW COUNTY WILL FURNISH 4 MEN
FOR FIRST INCREMENT OF SECOND DRAFT

Washington.-Ninety five thous-
and more men nave been ordered to
prepare to enter training camps, the
movement beginning March 29 and
continuing five days. This is the last
increment of the first draft, includ-
ing $4,000 negroes. Because of the
peculiar situation, some states with
completed quotas are asking to send
more men, who will be credited un-
der the second draft. These include
Oregon, which is asked to furnish
369 and Washington 638. The men
will be used to fill vacancies in the
existing organizations owing to trans
fers and deaths, and will also fill in
dustrial calls. 1t is announced the
first contingent of drafted industrial
men is already In France.
The local draft board has been mo-
titled to provide four men as Morrow
county's five per cent of Its entire
quota under the second draft. The
men are to report during the five
days period following March 20. It
is apparent that Morrow county's
gross quota under the second draft
will be 80 men.
The total number of men called
out in the second draft is 100000
and of this number, $4,000 will be
sent to Camp Lewis, American Lake,
Wash.
Because Of the scarcity of farm Ia
Dor, the President has given orders
that "the call to the colors of men
actively, completely and assiduously
engaged in the planting or cultiva-
tion of crop, but who are In Glass /
and within the quotas, should be de-
ferred until the end of the new

met IN LEXINGTON

The Morrow County Liberty Loan
committee met in Lexington on last
evening and listened to a full expla-
nation of the duties they are to per-
form in the coming big drive from
]. l.. Campbell, representing Liberty
Loan headquarters at Portland. Mr..
Campbell is making trip over the
state and assisting in perfecting the
organization that the Government

lions Of them, that will be asked for,
in the drive beginning on April 9th.
He found that Morrow county is al
ready quite we'll organized, having all
the preliminary work in hand and all
workers appointed, except the field
workers, and this will be taken in
hand at once by Chairman Waters
and the solicitors named In the
meantime the work is going on Of
listing up the questionnaires and get
ting complete data with reference to
every resident of the county. This
part of the work is to be permanent.
and it is the desire Of the Government
to have plans fully worked out and
developed in the third drive that will
be of permanent nature and form
the basis of operations for all future
drives. ..&
Mr.. Campbell gave full outline Of
the Governments purpose and stated
the machinery was being put in mo-
tion that would get the money. He
expects this drive, Of course, to be
the hardest to put over that has yet
been undertaken, but 1t will be done
and the full amount desired to be
raised by the sale Of Liberty Bonds
will be realized, and In the future
there will be less difficulty. The
Government expects every citizen to
come across" and do his full share
and what Is more, will see to 1t that
this purpose will be accomplished.

slackers behind the firing line; the
time is past when any man can stand

pioneers passed away in Walla Walla
the first of the week, when Matt Webb
died at the age of "a years.

when death came.

stockmen of this section and lived
here for many years, although the
last years of his life were spent in the
Walla Walla country, where his son,
Matt Webb Jr. operates one of the
Webb ranches. He is survivd by Mrs.
Webb and two sons Paul and Matt Jr.

Booze Cases Still Hold Attention.

Booze Cases Still Hold Attention.
The smoke of the district attor-
ney's guns scarcely clears away from
the ruins Of one objective point until
they are trained and firing upon an
other. The public is always in sus-
pense. ever waiting to see what the
next objective will be.
Another case was quickly disposed
of in Judge Cornett's court this week,
when Guy Boyer was found guilty of
giving intoxicants to one Harley
Sprouts. Although Sprouts is a mar
ried man, he is not yet of age, for
that reason the charge from the state
was heavy one and Mr.. Boyer was
fined $500.
According to the testimony of
young Sprouts, he obtained the
liquor, one drink or more, at the Boy
er ranch on Hinton creek.
Although nothing has been let out
from the district attorneys office, it
has been limited that other important
cases are coming up.

mo PRICE FIXING ON
WOOL AT PRESENT

The Government has not, and from
present indications, will not fix the
price for wool, according to informa-
tion received this week by w. B. Bar
raft, president of the Oregon Wool
growers Association.
The Government attitude on the
wool situation will remain the same
30 long as there is no attempt made
at speculation leading to increased
prices. No one has recommended to
the Government that the price on
wool should be fixed.
1t has likewise been learned that
the Government will probably dis
continue the use of shoddy in the
manufacture of uniforms and revert
to the all-wool basis for its army
clothing.
Mr.. Barratt has also learned from
authoritative sources that Mr.. Hoov-
er has placel his approval upon the
plan to allow the consumption of
lamb on Tuesdays or any other days.
His order to that effect will be in
force until April Is.

HEPPNER GUN CLUB
DEFEATED BY YAKIMA

The Heppner Gun Club ran up a
fairly good score last Sunday at the
local traps, but 1t was a poor showing
when contrasted with the record

FARMERS WILL
FIND THEIR NEEDS
Temporary Organization Formed, La.
Dor Question One of the
Most Important COun-
ty Problems.

At a meeting of Farmers held in
the City Council Chambers of Hepp-
ner, Saturday, plans were perfected
for the complete organization of the
farmers of Morrow County. The
meeting was we'll attended by repre-
sentatives from every district in the
county. r. w. Turner was elected
president and c. E. Jones Secretary
Treasurer of the temporary organi-
zation. The purpose of the meeting
was to more effectively carry on the
extension work of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College through the county
agent and in cooperation with the
county school superintendent with
the boys and girls club work.
Paul V. Maris, State Leader Of
County Agents and L. ]. Allen
Assistant State Leader of Club Work
were present and assisted In a dis
cussion of the more important farm
problems. 1t was decided during the
meeting that a more complete organ
ization of the farmers was not only
desirable but necessary to carry out
their part In the emergency war
work. Further discussion brought
out the fact that there was great
need for some special work in con-
trolling weeds and to determine the
best methods for keeping the wheat
field free from these pests. That an
effort should be made to standardize
the wheat and definite figures should
be obtained showing the yield of diff
ferent varieties. The question OF the
amount of seed to be used per acre
came up, and the discussion develop
ed the fact that some definite inform
alton was needed along that line. Re-
concentrations were made that a sys-
tematic effort be made to obtain fig
ures showing the results Of the diff
ferent rates of seeding. The exper-
ience of many of the farmers with
the Federal Income Tax Collector
has brought out the Importance Of
keeping a farm record A number
expressed their desire to cooperate
with the Extension departmnt and
obtain the assistance of the county
agent in introducing and keeping a
simple form of farm accounts. A
spirited discussion VI the labor situ-
aticn brought out the fact that many
farmers we're suffering because Of
the uncertainty connected with the
wages being offered in this county.
The suggestions resulted in the adop-
tion of plan for improving the la
Dor conditions in this county.

Wightman Brothers Will Put Fine
Dairy Herd on Auction Block.

The fine dairy herd of Wightman
Brothers, consisting of 40 head of
blooded Jerseys will be sold at pub
lie auction. This determination was
reached by the owners of the Alfal-
ia Lawn Dairy only after due con-
sideration and according to John
Wightman, because the labor short
age, brought about by the war, will
not permit of the herd being given
the care that such valuable stock
should receive.
The herd is ranked as one of the
best in the state, and it has, for the
past several years, been the source
of Heppner's main milk supply. Af-
ter the sale, Wightmans will retire
from the dairy business, keeping en-
ough cows for their own use and as
nucleus from which another herd
may be built up, in case they decide
at later date to again 60 into the
milk and cream business on a large
scale.
The auction sale, which will be
held on Saturday, the 9Th of April,
will be in charge of Colonel ]. W..
Hughes, the veteran stock auctioneer
of Forest Grove. With the cows will
60 the head Of the herd, Onotos Jolly
Fox, No. 134,760. This sire was OBJ
tanned from the Clifford F. Reid herd
of Portland, Oregon.
Sometime ago the Alfalfa Lawn
Dairy discontinued selling their pro-
duct direct to consumers and their
entire supply since then has been
bought by the Morrow County Crea-
merry, which has in turn, retailed 1t
to the Heppner public. Now that the
dairy is about to be discontinued, fur
nishing the supply will fall largely
upon the smaller dairymen, chief am
ong them being Henry Blahm and
Art Parker, both of whom have fine
herds.
