AT fire drill Monday evening the
hyaEant men took a good sized
roek from one Of the hydrants
Jnst how it came to be there is a
EyztaEg and 1T is believed by some
that 1t was put there purposely
Howsver. others think it possible
that fhe rock found Its way into the
Main at some time when repair work
VIE being done ON the main near the
hyGirant and that the pressure forced

OF huw it got there the fact remains
that it was doing no good whatever

In the small fire which started in
the building just north of the post
Office Friday afternoon, Heppner's
new fire department fully demon
strated its efficiency. But few
minutes after the alarm was given
the cart was at the fire, the connec-
tion made at the hydrant and the
water was playing on the fire. There
was no hitch or bobble and every
thing went as though regulated by
clockworks, The building is occu-
pied by Mrs. Wilhelmina Macy who
conducts cleaning and pressing
business, and the fire was caused
by the overheating of metal chin
ney which goes up through the
second story. Little damage was
done.

Fisemen Want Hats and Coats.

At business meeting of the fire
department Monday evening it was
decided to ask the City Council to
purchase six rubber hats and coats
for the department. These are
needed as protection for the nozzle
men. who are forced to be in the
water great part of the time when
fighting fire. Another request to be
made on the council will be that
they pass an ordinance prohibiting
the parking of automobiles within
"a feet of the fire hydrants. When
cars are parked nearer than 25 feet
to the hydrant they interfere in
getting the hose connected,

The Heppner Detail, 4th Company.
Oregon Military Police, are busy
bunch of fellows now days. Besides
their regular patrol work, which
thoroughly covers the county, they
are now engaged in keeping the
farmers with hands, and are active
in keeping down all labor troubles
and disputes. The Military Police is
la much needed organization and the
fact that they are here and prepared
to meet any emergency that may
arise does away with a great deal of
unezsiness on the part of the farm
ers, and tends to great extent to
subsfue those who might be inclined
to practise any .pro-German acti-
Vities

Cooling moth worms are now at
gon, rendering thousands of dollars
worth of fruit worthless. A thor
ough spraying of the fruit with
lead arsenate, one pound dry or two
pounds paste to SO gallons of water,
is recommended by he O. A. c. en-
tomologists. Worms of all sizes
from the newly-hatched caterpillar
up, are now going into the fruit,
and the spray will do much to lessen
the injury. Because of the unusual
attack of worms it may be necessary
to repeat the spray in about three
weeks.

Pig Is Money Maker.

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Turner re-
Gently butchered pig, which
weighed, when dressed. 140 pounds.
Four months ago this same pig
weighed but pounds. In the four
months the feed for the porker cost
but $500. With pork now selling
at 35 cents per pound, it is easy to
see that this pig was a money maker
for the Turner family.

FOOD NOTES.

The present outlook indicates that
there must be greater economy
practiced in the use of sugar by
some people or there will be many
who will be without sugar in any
quantity. 1t is selfish and unpatri.
Otic to use sugar extravagently. II
every person in the United States
who uses coffee or tea would use q
half teaspoonful less in each cup
there would be a saving of 100000
pounds per day.
The administration urges more
canning without sugar The fruit
may not suit the taste quite so well
to put the sugar in when it is used
later, but the user will feel better
about it If he realizes that he has
helped the fighting men to win the
war. There should also be more
drying Of fruits and vegetables
Send to the Department Of Agricul-
ture for Farmers Bulletin No. 9S4
OF to the Agricultural College for
bulletin on drying of fruits and
vegetables. These bulletins will give
you a lot of very valuable informa-
tion.
A cafeteria in Washing. IN. which
feeds 1000 persons daily, uses Grly
one pound of sugar for each 12O
meals. The allowance now Is one
pound for As meals. So, this record
is far inside the limit and shows
what can be done, If people try.
The $3.50 rule as to -four Is still
effective, except that retail dealers
and mills may sell graham and
whole wheat -four made before
August 1st without substitutes, if
they first send a statement OF the
amount of such -four In stock to the
Food Administrator.
In writing for permits, do not
wait until the last minute and write
a rush letter. The county food ad-
ministrator has no help, and 1t takes
a large part of his time to look after
the work; hence 1t is not possible to
always send permits by return mail.

County Food Administrator

To our Friends and Patrons:
We take this method of thank
ing our friends and patrons for their
many favors and kindnesses so cheer
fully extended to us during the last

init us calling to see you all for we

days longer and during this time
our doors are wide open and trust
that we may have the pleasure of
seeing you all before leaving the
City.
We love Morrow county and shall
consider Heppner our home regard

Our hearts hang heavy with
sorrow for all those who have so
recently lost their homes and prop
erty by fire, and trust that all will
soon rebuild and make Heppner a
real City, Bigger and Better than
ever.
Again thanking you one and all
and assuring you Of our gratitude
and wishing you Happiness, Pros
perity and Good Luck, we bid you
good bye.
