FARM BUREAU SETS
WAGES FOR WINTER
Executive Committee Has business
Session ON Wednesday.--F. l.. Ballard
Reports ON Growth of Organization.

The executive committee of the Nor
row County Farm Bureau held n very
important meeting in the offices Of
County Agent, L. A, Hunt. in this city
on Wednesday afternoon. There were
is members and prominent farmers
present.
Under the consideration of wheat va
riety demonstrations, reports were re-
ceived from several demonstrators and
after considerable discussion, it was
decided to restrict demonstrations in
wheat during the coming year to Hy-
brid, Fortyfold, Turkey Red. Bluestem,
Galgalus, Baart and Federation.
President Oscar Keithley reported
for the Farm Bureau on the La Grande
meeting Of Eastern oregon presidents.
Il l.. Ballard OF Corvallis reported on
the present status of the State Farm
Bureau, showing that the State Farm
Bureau had competed temporary or
ganization, and making 1t clear as soon
as Farm Bureaus in twelve counties
had ratified the state constitution, the
organization would become operative.
After considerable discussion It was
moved that arrangements be made for
a countrywide meeting of the Farm Bu-
reau on Saturday, November 13, If this
date proved feasible.
II was ascertained that II will be pos
sible at this meeting to have present
tho president of oregon Farm Bureau
as well as a representative of the ex-
ecutive committee of the National Farm
Bureau. This meeting will be one of
the most important ever held by the
Bureau in this county as il will give
an opportunity for every interested per-
son to learn first hand exactly what
Farm Bureau work stands for.
Under discussion of wages it was fl
nally decided that the wages for the
winter months would be about $50 per
month. II is felt that 1t would be pos
sble to get all the men necessary to do
the winter work at this price. No eff
fort was made to change the fall wage
scale which is standing at SIS per
month.
Because of the shortage of funds II
was decided to discontinue the Farm
Bureau News publication indefinitely
The committee also undertook the
consideration of budget for the COM
ing year, and II was decided to incor-
porate the inspection OF sheep In the
program Of work for the coming sea
son, provided that sufficient funds were
secured to do the work. The budget

Since the Civil War for Country

In many respects this is the most
important election since the Civil War
The results of the voting on November

country for many years. 1t is import
ant that the right men are elected for
President and Vice. President but 1t Is
also important that the President have
a Congress in sympathy with his poll
cies. If Mr. Cox is to be elected. the
Senate and House should be also DEM
ocratic. II Mr.. Harding is to be Presi-
dent, the Senate and House should be
republican. A deadlock would prove
an exceedingly bad thing for the coun-
try at this time. And II Is the duty of

There are some very important meas
ures to be voted upon at this election
which vitally affect the welfare of the
state. The Single Tax proposition is
squately before the people this time
on its merits. II this measure carries,
1t will certainly make decided change
in land values. The. four per cent in
terest bill is one which should not be
overlooked when placing your X be-
tween the number and no. No one will
be able to borrow money in this state
for four and five per cent, when the
lender can get more for his money in
adjoining states. The result will be, II
this measure prevails, that people who
need money can not obtain it. There
are other measures of Importance on
the ballot. They should receive care
full consideration at -he polls. Some
are good, one or two are negative and
the balance are dangerous.
Let us demonstrate our AMERICAN

and voting next Tuesday. If you are

Canadian Champion Takes
Two Straight From Hindu

Dodan Singh, the Hindu wrestler. fell
victim to the superior skill Of his op-
ponent Nels Jepson, the Canadian mid
dleweight champion in their match in
this city last Saturday night. Jepson
secured the first fall after thirty min.
utes OF wrestling, using half Nelson
and crotch hold. The second fall was
obtained by means of this same kind Of
Nelson hold.
Singh started out strong and to the
fans, OF which there were many, it
looked for time that he might prove
the victor. He worked the toe hold to
a good advantage and kept Jep busy, IL
not worried. during the earlier minutes
Of the match. The Hindu is 1.-THE and
slippery and cat-like in his movements,
and his agility more than once saved
MIN from getting his shoulders dusty
earlier in the combat 1t is our pre-
diction that Singh will take the gate
receipts when he meets Jack Kennedy
at Condor Saturday night.
The crowd was amused to the nth de-
gree when Zoe Thomas" met Clarence
Bauman for three seconds in a sched-
uled four round go. ThisThomas guy
had touted himself to be a regular has
been and he evidently thought he could
stage a comeback but like all the
great fighters who have tried that
stunt, he failed in true fashion, Bau-
man dashed out like young charger
and met fighting Joe with such a rush
of rights and lefts. that Joe took to his
corner and hardly stopped going until
he got back to John Kilkennys sheep
ranch. But 1t tickled the crowd. And
that's what counts.

American People Are
 Fine, Says Vyronis

The trouble in the Greek Orthodox church on West Liberty street comes more bitter as the days roll on. The controversy rages today and the church remains~ closed. Doctor Spires Vryonis of 552 State street said today that Pres. Malonis has a right to speak in church when the priest has fin iShed the service.
 Doctor vryonis was a little dis turbed, today, because in one of the newspapers reports of the church quarrel he was represented as speak ing in the name of the Eclectic Med ical society of which he is a head. Said Doctor Vryonis, "1 did not speak in the name of the society. That would not have been proper. I was speaking of the American people tell ing how good they are and how gen. erous. and I said that my case should be considered. I came to the country
 unknown and without friends, and these American doctors took me into their society and made friend of
 me and that is the way Americans are"
 | T am not member of the church, "
 continued Doctor Vryonis. 'I was al
 the meeting when the Greek people ot | Bridgeport greeted Bishop RodoStou- lou, and my remarks were merely ar
 interpreta tion of the minds of Greek 1 people. When finished speaking I left the meeting without waiting to l know the result of it.'
