IMPLEMENT DEALERS
PROTEST DISC RULING

A protest against a decision by the
standardization committee of the Am
erican Implement Dealers Association
to discontinue the manufacture of cut
away disc harrows is contained in a
petition being circulated in Pendleton
today by local implement dealers.
Umatilla county farmers are of the
opinion that the decision would work
n hardship upon farmers of this sec
ton as the cut away disc is used for
heavy stubble or weed growth and for
tough and hard ground. Because the
disc is not in general use in the mid
die west, the committee proposes to
discontinue it's manufacture.
All counties in the west are taking
action in the matter and are sending
in the petitions through the county
agents. Fred Bennion, agricultural
agent for this county. will act for
l'matilla.

SMUCGLERS HAVE
 LITTLE SUCCESS
Several Thousand Gallons of Drink Seized By
 Officials.

Washington, June 13-Smugglers who have attempted to bring liquor into the country have had little suc- cess end officials of the customs ser vice believe similar attempts under national prohibition will not be more productive.
 Several thousand gallons of drink and a number of automobiles taken from bootlegsers testify to the effec- tiveness of the customs protection The seized liquor must be sold by the government before midnight of June 30. Auctions have been ordered. Liquor captured in dry territory will be brought to a nearby port of en- try in a state where it can be sold. Liquor captured in Maine, for in stance, will be sold in New York
 The Canadian and Mexican borders and Florida apparently attract more liquor smugglers than any other part of the country.
 On the Canadian border there have been numerous attempts by snug glers operating in automobiles to run whiskey across into dry states. Small sailing vessels have tried to bring cargoes of rum from Cuba and the West Indies.
