CROOK COUNTY JOURNAL PACE ?(0 mum mvmm Absolutely Puro No Alum No Phosphate SHOW GREAT SUCCESS Large Variety of Tubers and Other Crops Exhibited MANY PRINEVILLE PEOPLE CO Mustard Crowned King Murphy Sport Were Good Many Candidate! There The sixth annual Redmond Potato Show is a matter of history, and as in former years, the exhibit of po tatoes was better than anyone ex pected to find for we forget from 1 one year to the next just how good i a lUMimonu potato snow reaiiy is. .There were 40 different entries for the main prizes in the potato division alone, and the typo and sixc of so many of these were so uniform and so near tho perfect potato, that a novice would have a hard timo trying to decide just which was the best bunch of pota toes. Hut, whilo tho event is primarily a potato classic, a great many omer rugn clans exnwiu were eviucni in the pavilion. Next to potatoes, the Redmond, Terrebonne and Powell Hutte dis tricts excel in root crops of all kinds. . Stock beets and carrots, sugar beets, turnips table beets and carrots and all other kindred jrodueta were displayed in pro fusion. Onions of a half dozen or more varieties, well cured and a good size, were on dit play and cabbages, large and solid, formed an exhibit that made visitors hungry for sauer kraut. The threshed grains, especially several varieties of field peas, all well matured and in large quantity, showed that tubers and root crops alone are not all that can be raised in that part of the county. Corn, yellow flint field varieties, large ears, well filled and properly matured, pop corn, rico and oilier varieties combined to make a. cred itable exhibit of corn. Another feature of tho show, which however is always good in Redmond, was the fancy work and culinary exhibits, and the array of canned fruits and vegetables. The school exhibits had some ex ceptionally good pieces also, and assisted materially in balancing the show in the pavilion. As a show, the exhibits were less in number than the last three years, largely because of the late season, and for the further reason that the farmers have been very busy caring for the best crops that MRS I. 0 have been raised in years and had no time to prepare article! for the sh'IW. The quality of the article on display, however, was of the beat and it in mi ft' to say that potatoes fmm this display could and muy go out again, a last year, und cap ture the prize in competition with the world, beiriff judged by the bent authority n earth. The livestock division was lew in number of entries than last year, although there were some excellent individual! shown. The sheet parade on Friday, and a football game on Saturday both drew good crowds, und a large number of cars from I'rineville were in attendance on both of these fdaya. Track events were good, and bar ring Urn fact that lack of moisture made the track heavy, and racing autos and motor! filled the air with dust, these events were above the usual standard for a community fair. Candidates were present in abundance, and from the diligence they were exercising one would gather f hat t.very man of them fc.t himself doomed to sure defeat. When asked how the outlook was for him, they all claimed that victory is already assured. King Murphy, in the person of 8. I). Mustard, potato king of the world, was crowned with fitting ceremonies on Friday afternoon and the crowd marched to the corc- j nation to the strains of a popular air from the rrlneviiie Hand. L,mjt jve the King! On Saturday noon, before an ex eel lent repast spread by the girls of the Redmond Ilmh School in the domestic science building, the County Agricultural Council met for tho fust time with the new County Agriculturist, R. A. Hlanchard. The lunch was served at 12:30 and after their appetites were satisfied, the council gathered 'around a table where a session was held until 3 o clock" in spue oi tne fact that Senator Lane was to speak after dinner at the Potato show. Those present at the council were : E. S. Barnard, Secretary-Treasurer of Powell Butte; C. F. Hos kins, Vice-Pres., of Lower Bridge; . W. F, Mackey, Terrebonne; Wm. 'Ogg, Redmond; J. L. Gibson, Powell Butte; C. D. Jarrett. Red- Imond; C. H. Erickson, Alfalfa; Chas. 0. Christiani, Prineviile and Dr. P. H. Dencer, of Bend. R. jA. Blanchard, County Agri culturist, opened the session by out lining the relation of the county agent to the U. S. Department, state college, County Agricultural Council and the farmers of the county. He also prepared copies of suggestions of the concrete, lines A . Safe Drink! Are you satisfied with the coffee and tea that you are getting? If not we should like to have you try ours.

P, V. Maris, state ..leader of county agents, explained the re lation of ihe college to the county, Mr. Maris also spoke at length on the duties of the council and the true conception of. the county agent, mentioning the perennial effort of the college and Govern ment in dispelling the prevalent conception that the ctuntv agent is an agricultural wizard whose func tion is to tell farmers how to run their farms. ' ' After the council discussed at length the line of work they , would persie with the county agricul turist, whom they direct, a motion was passed adopting the issuance of a monthly County Agricultural Council Bulletin, in place of the old mimeographed exchange list. This is after the one edited by Mr. Hlanchard in his work1 as county agriculturist in Montana. A new constitution was adopted by the council, which conforms to the state wide constitution for all County Agricultural Councils. Tho following resolutions were adopted: , n , lljr j Whereas, we believe that the plan of the Bureau of Biological Survey, together with the assis tance of the agricultural college and the County Agriculturist, has been demonstrated to be econom ical and effective, and since these departments are willing to continue their cooperation, therefore be it resolved: That Crook County Agricultural Council favors the cooperative plan and . respectfully urges our county court to adopt that measure of procedure. Belt resolved: That the Crook Ccunty Agricultural Council is most emphatically opposed to the confiscatory and revolutionary Single Tax Measure, to appear upon the ballot' of the coming election under the tftle "Full Rental Value Land Tax and Homemakcrs' Loan Fund Amendment" and that we urge upon all those interested in the agricultural development and wel fare of the state of Oregon, to assist in defeating this bill so over whelmingly that its sponsors will be discouraged from pernnially pre senting such measures to the voters ,ot Oregon. Vole 307 X No. Great credit is due to the girls of the domestic science department of the high school. The girls were under the d rection of their teacher, Mrs. Ia?c, and not only set a dainty table, but a well cooked dinner. The effort was a credit to the department and their teacher. MEN ARE CHASED BY A three year old Durham bull, suffering, from rabiescreated con siderable excitement at the Alex Hinton ranch on McKay, Monday. The bull was with a herd of cattle in the north end of the grove where the picnics are held and attracted the-attention of Harry Neal and Alvin Wise who came to, as they supposed, assist the animal out of some distress, as he was bellowing loudly. - ' These men came to the animal in a bunc'i of willows, and as soon as they were seen, he at once made a mad dash for them that sent the meii scurrying for cover. Being handicapped with "chaps" and spurs, the men were being easily overtaken by the maddened animal, when they dashed past a tree, the bull stopped to horn the tree for a few moments which gave the men an opportunity to put the rail lence between them and the bull. He soon discovered his mistake and resumed the chase to the fence, several rods of which were scat tered over the landscape. A. A. and Roy McCord arrived about this time and the suffering animal was shot and buried on the spot. The bull was valued at about $300 by its owner, Mr. Hinton, and was the best of a trio of the , same breed owned by him. He does not know when and where the animal received the in fection. , Another valuable bull belonging to J. W. Stanton died at the Stanton ranch on Mill Creek re cently, which had all symptoms of this same malady. Call For Warrant!

Speech of Anti-Saloon League Leader at Salem Exposes That Measure Speaking before the State Con-j vontion of the Baptists at Salem Friday afternoon, October 20, R. P.

Other points which he brought out were: "Again, the brewery amendment would discriminate against the ' farmer. If tne farmer made cider ' up to six-tenths of ope per cent, he would be yanked up by the law; but if he . Portland brewer made i beer seven times that , strong, and ; Bold it to children, the bill would ! legalize it, and he would be hailed ; as the savior of Oregon posterity! through malting their progenitor.

Removes Fingers VICTIM IS WELL KNOWN HERE Accident' Occurred at Birdsong Ranch Near Paulina Last Saturday W. H. Birdsong, of Paulina, was the victim of an accident on Satur day that resulted in the loss of the first'and second finger of his right hand. Morgan's threshing machine was at work on the Birdsong p'.ace, and aft"r threshing the rye crop it was the intention to stop the machine and clean out all grain and chaff and to start on the oat crop. After the power had been turned off, but before the cylinder had stopped revolving, Mr. Birdsong was scraping the chaff from the feed table and in some way reached too near the revolving cylinder. The tip of his finger was jerked into the machine before it had quite stopped, and the first finger . was cut into lengths of not more than three quarters of an inch uf to the hand, which member was badly mangled. The second finger wa3 almost as badly mutilated, the removal rif both being made necessary by the injuries. Both ' the thumb and third finger were injured, but will heal without complications it is Lthought. The accident occured 'on the Birdsong ranch about six miles above Paulina at eleven o'clock on Saturday, and Mr. Birdsong was brought to Prineviile that after noon for medical attention. - Address ' Box, 358, Vrineville,' Oregon." f V, v 50t2e The Journal does Modern Printing Mailable Rang Sewing Machine fU- M- U
