Two things seem to be clear:
One is that, for considerable
period, the world will have need
particularly Of larger supply than
formal Of live stock, and especially
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-01-09

Of fats. We should not fail. there
.ore, to adopt every feasible means
1f economically increasing our live
.ock products.
As part of our program, We
should give due thought to the
curing Of an adequate supply Of
adstuffs and to the eradication and
,ntrll of all forms of animal dis
ease.
The other is the need Of perfect
ing the organization of our agricul-
ural agencies for the purpose of
utelligenty executing such a pro-
gram as may seem wise.
We should not only have the best
possible organization and co-opera-
ION OF the Department Of Agricut-
ture. the agricultural colleges, tie
state departments of agriculture, and
lamers' associations. but We should
especially strengthen the local farm
bureaus and other organizations
which support SO effectively the eX-
tension forces and assist them in
their activities.
The perfecting of this organization
is highly desirable not only during
he continuance of the present abnor-
NAL, conditions but also for the
future.
Build Now for Future Strength.
The local as we'll as the state and
federal agencies are of supreme i'm
portance to the nation in all its
activities designed to make rural
life more profitable, healthful and
attractive, and, therefore, to secure
adequate economic production, eff
cient distribution, and necessary con-
Servation.
The main purpose OF this appeal is
to direct attention to the necessity Of
continuing our state of preparedness
and Of strengthening the foundations
of our agriculture.

Tuesday afternoon the people
of this vicinity were privileged
to witness very spectacular
. phenomena I'm the form of sun
dogs, rainbows, sun circles and
spots all at one time. No more
visible and spectacular sights
had ever been seen by most of
the people who witnessed IL, and
while some may have thought
the world was coming to an end,
or that the sun dogs and bows
and circles meant that cold
wave was coming, and so forth,
yet IL was more Of case of at
mosphcric conditions being just
right for such an event. 1t IL
seldom that conditions are all
just right Mt the same time to
produce all OF these spectacular
things. The temperature hap
pened to be Just right to fit I'm
with the conditions of the snow
on the ground and the thin
clouds which overhung the sky
and allowed the sun to pass thru,
thus rejecting the suns rays and

J-Rabbits Climb
Trees for Bark
Hunters Get Pot Shots and Bag Them
BY Hundreds While They Feast
On Slavens Cherry Trees.
TRUE STORIES LOOK "FIsHY"
Six Acre Orchard Produces Sausage
Fruit BY Vast Numbers In On.
Day, 80 Story Goes.

Last Sunday the untimely end was
put to the lives of 241 real tree
climbing, or at least tree-eating jack
and these particular 241 were
picked off of six acre orchard on
the, Slavens ranch. on Duck creek.
They were bagged by six hunters,
and for six hunters to get 241 rab-
bits off of a six acre orchard plot all
in one day broke all records SO far
reported to the humane officer.
There were three hunting parties
of two men each. One of the hunting
crews composed of George Oliver and
II. w. Dye, shot "a of the total num-
ber and got all but four of them with
rife, which again ads to the enor-
mousness OF the rabbit story which,
however, is absolutely true. Another
crew was composed of Il. f. Hosler
and A. b. Cook, and the third was
composed of Henry Humiston and
Joe Summerhalter.
The rabbits had gathered into the
Slavens six acre orchard that day for
a celebration and picnic dinner. They
started to arrive early in the morning
and feasting commenced as soon as
those early rising jackrabbits had
reached the picnic grounds. The
bountiful spread consisted of bark
from the trees. and when the early
gatherers had devoured the bnrk
nearest the ground the others started
to gather their supply from little
higher up and the way they were go
ing after it the hunters would not
have been surprised to have seen rab-
bits setting out on the limbs eating
bark from the top-most twigs.
Seriously speaking the jack rab-
bits are beginning to be serious
menace and the more of them which
are made into mince meat and rab-
bit sausage the better off the country
will be.

4. Dick G.il.van's Letter

Dick Gallavan is at Noyen. France,
or was on November 30. when he
wrote a recent letter to his mother.
Mrs. Belle Gallavan. He states that
as the censorship of letters ia letting
up he can give a br,ef account of his
locations. He writes:
eve left Camp Dix on October 12.
and went aboard the English s. s.
Anchiser the same day. The follow
ing morning we anchored in the har-
Dor out past the Statute of Liberty,
and that afternoon we set sail for
parts unknown. There were fourteen
transports in the convoy and one
chaser and one smaller battleship and
one destroyer. The day before we
came in sight of land we were met
by the English mosquito fleet which
seemed to appear from nowhere all
at once.
1.-THE next morning after we were
met by this fleet We were in sight
of Ireland. We came around Ireland
to the north. The same night at
about midnight, the twelfth day. we
docked at Liverpool. The following
evening we unloaded and started by
trains and arrived the next morning
at an English rest camp at Codford.
I'VE stayed at Codford for three
days and again took the train to
South Hampton, where we boarded
the s. s. Harvard, passenger boat
that used to ply between Seattle and
Frisco. Then we landed at La Harve.
France. After a few days we came
to La Mans. where our division was
divided. After two weeks of nothing
to do we were moved 20 a little place.
Chemairs, and started to drill again.
We were there only a few days and
then came over here ito go thru"
sighting and aiming drill preparatory
to going to the rifle range. We will
most likely finish up the coming week
on the range.
IT went to mass at Noyen last Sun
day and at Mans the Sunday before,
but have to drill tomorrow. I think
that we. will all be on our way home

and Mrs. John Schlunegge. dated,

CT his movements as follows:
starting from Camp Mills. N. y,
We mAvched to New York harbor,
where we embarked on the Balmoral
Castle, the 115th Eng. being on this
ship. There were about 2400 men
altogether. There were thirteen 9TH
or ships in the same convoy, with one
battleship and two destroyers. There
were about 10000 men on board
these ships this trip
-tr Travel In Darkness
These ships stayed close together
all the way over and they looked
like a bunch of big ducks on pond.
They ran without lights at night
Everything was dark on deck and the
only place we could have lights were
where they would not show from
the outside. We could not see a
thing at night but next morning the
ships were in the same formation.
Some nights we would almost stand
still and again we would Zig-zag north
would go straight ahead. 1t took
us twelve days to cross. We did not
see any subs on the way but we saw
one iceberg.
We landed at Liver pool. England.
From there we went to Southampton.
and took the boat over the English
Channel to Cherfoorg. France. From
there we went over land to little
town near Nevers, In the center OF
France. We remained there for
about q month. tim went north be-
tween Nancy and Metz. We were
camped in German dugouts about
twelve miles from Metz for six weeks.
working the roads toward Metx. build
ing barbed-wire entanglements and
digging trenches
Lonesome Without 6holh
We did most of the wire work and
trench digging at night so the enemy
did not haveAa yer, good chance at
US. The large shells were bursting
alliaround- us all the time we were
q. the front. We got so used to this
that we felt lonesome when they
quit.
We were building a bridge in No
Mans Land the day they quit at IL
o'clock Ten minutes before IL they
were throwing shells all around us
but everything stopped on time. 1t
surely seemed strange to have every
thing SO quiet all at once. We did
not lose man, but one was hit but
he was not hurt much.
We are now back about eighteen
miles from Metz. I do not know
how long we will stay here but hope
1t will not be long. 1t is raining but
= l..
buildings to bunk in, and plenty of
wood to burn, so we do not suffer.
I have not seen Clarence Mundon
for about month. He is canned
AT Point Mousson, about four miles
from US.
