PROVERBIAL GOLDEN EGGS
LAID BY RED CROSS HEN

Livingston, Mont.-One hundred
and four dollars and sixty-fve cents
was the amount received by George
w. Hustler, local druggist, for a
dozen eggs. Hustler originated a
unique idea of raising money for the
benefit of the Red Cross. The eggs
were numbered from one to twelve
and each sold separately at auction to
the highest bidder. The first egg went
for rs cents and the last one for SAT.
The total amount thus raised was
$104.65. A photo was then taken of
the eggs and 500 postcards were sold
at 10 cents apiece, which money also
was donated to the Red Cross The
eggs were blown and made into a
cake, which was sent to the Sammies
from Park county at American Lake.
The shells were given as souvenirs
to the different purchasers of the
eggs who bought them and also do
mated the money to the Red Cross.
Hustler has now penned the hen that
laid the golden" eggs, and with
tin cup attached to the pen the Sam
my hen," accepts invitations to all
social functions and generally returns
with cup full of dimes and quarters.

TRUCK CROPS MEAN
GOOD FARM PROFITS

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
wallis, Jan. TRUCK crops are a
means of increasing the cash output
Of the farm and at the same time
furnishing another cultivated crop
and they should be taken up largely
by the general farmer, said w. l.
Spencer, of Gresham in his address
before the Vegetable Growers and
Home Gardeners Conference. In
selecting the crop to be grown take
into consideration its requirements
as to climate, soil, and whether 1t is
money crop in the section grown.
Cabbage is an instance of one often
grown and under favorable condi-
tions will return a good cash income
and in addition furnish from one-half
to one ton of cow feed to every ton
OF heads cut, factor to be carefully
considered by the farmers who keep
dairy cows. Fall plowing is the best
insurance for good crop of vege-
tables in the Willamette Valley.
Grow or secure the best seed to be
had in growing onions and do not ex-
pect to secure unusual success unless
you do. That together with the fer
tility of the soil are the requisites
for successful onion production
thinks ]. C. Leedy. of Beaverton. If
the soil is deficient in plant foods the
best all round fertilizer is well rotted
manure spread ON the ground the
year before.

PRODUCTION OREGON
METAL DURING 1917

A preliminary estimate of the pro-
duction Of metals from Oregon mines
in 1917, compiled by Charles G. Yale,
Of the San Francisco Office Of the
United States Geological Survey,
shows a material increase from that
of 1916. The output of gold in 1916
was $1,902,149, and the estimated
output in 1917 is $1,466,419, de-
crease of $435,76O. The output of
silver in 1915 was 231,342 ounces
valued at $152,223, and the estimat-
ed output in 1917 is 1857 ounces,
decrease of 115,645 ounces in guam
tity, and of $5S,046 in value. The
output of copper in 1915 was 3,501,-
$50 pounds, valued at $SS1,144, and
the estimated output in 1917 is l.
50S,639 pounds, valued at $410,348,
a decrease of 1,993,247 pounds in
quantity, and of $47O,795 in value.
A small quantity of lead was pro-
duced in 1916, but no production Of
IillS iiCul udS uCCH lCpOltCu AOi 1oL =
There are about hundred pro-
ductive mines in Oregon, and al
though two thirds of them are placer
mines, the larger part Of the output
of gold comes from the deep mines,
and, of course, virtually all the out
put of other meals. There were no
important discoveries in any Of the
mining districts of Oregon in 1917,
and no great increase in the output
of any Of the more productive prop
critics. The entire output of ore from
all the deep mines combined does not
exceed 100000 tons. Most Of the
placer mines are worked by the hy-
draulic system, but the three dredges
now in use produce far more gold
than all the other placer operations
combined. The largest output Of gold
and other meals in 1917 came, as
usual, from Baker county, which pro-
duces annually about 80 per cent of
all the gold mined in the state. jose
phine county is next In production.

ACCIDENT FATAL To
WHEAT FARMER
Claus johnson, Pioneer Farmer of
Democrat Gulch, Dies From In.
juries Received in Run
away. Funeral Held
at Hardman.

Claus Johnson, Morrow county
pioneer and we'll known wheat farm
er of Democrat Gulch, passed away at
his home last Friday evening. Death
resulted from injuries which Mr..
Johnson received earlier in the week.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Johnson had call
ed at the Davidson ranch, west of his
ranch, to borrow light hack from
John Blake. After hitching up, the
horses became frightened and ran
away. Mr.. Johnson was pitched out
violently, struck on his head and
deep decorations were cut over one
eye. However, he was able to walk
to his home, a distance of half mile,
and DR.. Wilhelm was summoned
from Condor. The cash was sewed
up and the injury was not considered
seriously. A turn came suddenly for
the worse and Mr.. Johnson died Fri
day evening.
The funeral was held in Hardman,
burial being made in the l. o. o. F.
cemetery at that place Sunday after
noon.
Claus Johnson was native of
Sweden and came to the United
States when he was 22 years of age.
After spending five years in Kansas,
he came to Eastern Oregon and had
resided in Morrow county for 27
years. He was married to Emma
Lovgren and there are three boys,
aged 9, II and 13 respectively.
At the time of his death, Mr.. John
son was IS years, months and 26
days old.
He was an honest, upright citizen
with one of the most optimistic of
dispositions. Wherever he went he
had the kind word and the world has
been made better for the brief space
of years he spent here on earth.

SALE Of THRIFT. STAMPS
| IS GAINING SPEED

Daily sales of Thrift stamps and
war savings stamps in Oregon are al
ready totaling about $4,000, cir
cumstance most gratifying to the
State Director and his campaign CON-
mittee, inasmuch as the campaign II
just beginning to gather the momen-
tum that will carry Oregon "over the
top" again with its apportionment of
$17,000,000 of the two billion dollars
to be raised by the War Savings in
the United States by January /, 1919.
State Organization was given its
finishing touches this week at confer
ences in Portland attended by the
Congressional Chairman, including
Louis ]. Simpson of North Bend, for
the first district, Leon Cohen of Pen
dleton for District No. 2, and F. B..
MacNaughton, Portland, for District
No. 8. ]. A. Churchill, State Super
intendent of Schools, and Chairman
of the Committee on Education, is
working through his big organization
including county superintendents and
teachers to carry the thrift ilea into
the schools of the state, and other
chairmen representing the social, in
dustrial, religious, fraternal and COM
mercial interests are getting things in
running order.
Sales of thrift stamps and war saw
ings stamps in Oregon must average
$50, 900 each day Of the year If Ore
gon is to reach its quota, and there is
no doubt in the minds of those pro-
noting the campaign but that this
amount will be exceeded.
"I am going personally into every
city and town in my Congressional
District" says Louis J. Simpson of
North Bend, Chairman Of District No.
1 in the Oregon War Savings Thrift
Campaign Organization, "and 1 am
going to see to 1t that local county
organization throughout is such as
will assure complete success of this
new undertaking." Mr.. Simpson has
been In conference with c. N. Won
acott, Associate State Director at
Portland Headquarters, and has en-
tered upon his new duties with char
acteristic enthusiasm. "Any time
District No. 2 puts 1t over District No.
/, it doesn't" was Mr.. Simpsons
parting sally. "Just watch u.s."

FARMERS MUST
HANDLE IN BULK
Government Agricultural Agent
Warns Farmers That Sacks Will
Be High as Result of the

Oregon farmers must turn to the
bulk method of handling grain" said
]. c. Hawkins of the United States
Department Of Agriculture, cooperat-
ing with the Oregon Agricultural Col.
lege. who in company with co-work-
er. w. B. Oldham. is spending two
weeks in and near Heppner.
"The United States Government

for army purposes" continued Mr..
Hawkins, "and last year there were
shipped into this country from Cal
cutta only 100000 sacks. pre-
dict that grain bags will be selling for
25 cents apiece and l doubt If they
can be had at that price on account
of the shortage"
Mr.. Hawkins advises every farm
