the great Vienna exposition, and while
the United States did not make large

other products of American ingenuity
Think, just think, no one had ever

the unknown date when this terrible
war ends.
To judge what is needed requires
familiarity with conditions and a will

one branch of American manufacture
has been pushed as has harvesting
machinery, and in this branch mowers
and simple reapers were followed by
sheaf binders, and, notwithstanding
the attempts to copy the models or

Conditions Favorable
For Large Prune Crop

Conditions are still favorable for the
prune crop, although rain this month
would materially help things. The crop
is growing fast and the sizes will av-
erage much larger than last year. The
larger size is due to the fact that the
trees blossomed earlier than usual this
year, giving tn fruit longer time to
develop.
Prune packers believe that the gov.
ernment will take certain percent of
the crop at an established price, but
that the growers will be asked to place
market value on the commercial crop.
Last year the season opened up on a
6 anud 615 cent basis and later was adj.
vanced as high as 71a cents. The Cali
fornia papers report that the general
opinion down that way is that the grow.
er will be asked to name a fair price
basis. Anyhow, there is nothing doing
except specializing as to what the price
will be as the federal authorities will
not permit Of price naming of contracts
until after July 18th.

STATE REFORM SCHOOL BOYS
WERE BURGLARS AT GERVAlS

Tuesday morning about $3.50 Marshal
VIM. Bowlby discovered someone in
John Kelly's drug store, and as he came
to the side street a man crawled out
through the window and Bowlby cap
tured him. He had seen there were two
of them and fearing the other would
make his escape he fired his pistol a
couple of times to arouse some help, and
Antoine DeJardin who lives near by
heard the shots and came to the rescue
with his shot gun and covered the first
man while Bowlby captured the other.
They proved to be two boys about
l6 or II years old and did not have the
appearance of criminals, but had taken
a number of articles from the store such
as kodak, flashlight, pocket knives, ETC.,
including purse containing a lot Of pen
nies taken from the cash register, which
they had stuffed in their pockets and in
the bosoms Of their shirts.
Later reports say they were from the
State Training school. They had stolen
bicycles from Salem.-Gervais Star.

ROAD INFORMATION FOR
AUTOISTS AND CAMPERS

This bulletin contains general infor-
nation concerning road conditions in or
near the National Forests of Oregon
and Washington, based on data furn
ished by the field men of the National
Forest Service.
Help Prevent Forest Fires.
Forest fires interfere seriously with
the pleasure of summer touring in the
mountains. Fallen trees obstruet the
roads and trails and hinder travel
while the smoke clouds cover the
seenry which gives the mountains so
much Of their charms. Most forest fires
are the result Of carelessness and might
have been prevented. When everyone
who visits the woods is careful with fire
the annual loss of timber and forage
will be reduced to a minimum.
The cooperation of forest travellers
to prevent fire is earnestly requested, to
keep the mountains green, TO save the
forest resources for the Nations use,
and to make the calling of men from in
dustrial work to fight forest fires un-
necessary.

Difference Between Thrift
and War Savings Stamps

In reply to the QUESTION of the diff
ference between thrift stamp and a
War Savings Stamp, the man in the
bank who is posted on such affairs
gives the following explanation:
A thrift stamp is a 25-cent stamp
and you can buy them at the banks,
postoffiee and several other places. AT
ter one has twenty thrift stamps by
adding IL Gems, they may be taken to
the bank and exchanged for one War
Savings Stamp with face value of $5,
due January l, 1928. There you have it
a thrift stamp is worth 25-eents while
a War Savings Stamp is worth So.
Another thing to remember is that
the government will cash at any time
the War Savings Stamps on ten days
notice. Hence if a person becomes fl
embarrassed but has an in
vestment in War Savings Stamps, they
are just as good as real cash.
On basis of July Il, 1918, the War
savings stamps hhV~ race Value OF
SILLY and will increase in market value
one cent every month, as the ac-
crued interest making the value Of the
stamp So on June l, 1923.
The interest figures trifle more than
four per cent. Without taking into con-
sideration the patriotic side of the pro-
position, financial men figure that War
Savings Stamps are gilt edge invest
mems with the added advantage that if
one becomes a trifle short of money,
the government is ready to redeem them
ON 10 days notice.
