Phone Red 22 1 SHIPP & PERRY SAVE THK HHKKI Two of the best authorities on I the sheen Industry in the United I States are having a hot controversy i concerning the very Important mat ter of marketing young ewes. One contends that they Bhould be held by all means, because of the fact that the supply for future years is . sure to be short, while the other ! saya that the need is so great this year, and feed ao short, the same percentage of ewe lambs be sold as : in normal times. I When men of the type who ahould know Just what policy to pursue, become honestly confused : in this manner, It is difficult for ; the less informed man to know just j what policy la best. ! It is safe, however, for this part J of the west at least, to occupy some thing of a middle ground. No man ahould keep more sheep than he hat I feed to put through the winter safe I ly, yet there is no location that ' needs the sheep, and where they will pay better than Central Oregon. I o With the approach of winter it it no wonder that the German men in the trenches feel many forebodings. The allies have the comfort that a part of their hardships will be borne by the United States troops, but there is no such comfort for the Germans. There is a possibility that this will have some bearing on the situation soon, and the result should be the recognition of the true condition, that Germany must surrender. the tags are tout. If the fanner walta until spring be probably will forget about the repair needed. "In the alack winter season tha farm er should go to the shop and put every machine Into flint class condition. This girea the Implement dealer time to ob tain the part needed. Ordering by mail lessens the chance of getting the wroug piece. Parta needed caunot al ways bo obtained from the dealer, but will have to come from the branch, house or factory, and plenty of tlm should be allowed. - "In the busy season, when a break age occurs, the farmer repairs It as best he can and goes on using th ma chine. The work may suffice for the rest ot the season, but will not laat through another year. 8uch repalra are often the cause of Inferior work and make the process of harvesting ex pensive." t Handy Hog Catchar. A Texaa bog man describe ho catcher which he flnda very bandy. "To make thta bog catcher, take a piece of gas pipe about three feet long and slip Into the end ot It an iron handle of an old shovel or scoop. Usually three-quarter Inch gaa pipe will fit an iron handle of this kind. Cut a hole about an ir.ch long In the pip alx inch es below the handle. Then take a piece of wire, preferably a twisted clothes line, at It 1 softer and more pliable, and make a loop about alx iuche cross In one end t loop that will not 1 R. C.

At this critical period in our history our manufacturers are offering their milts and our young men are offering their services to the United States government.

Member Federal Reserve System FIRST NATIONAL BANK The rounding up of German spies In the Northwest is a step in the right direction. It appears that there have been many activities by these people recently, all of which are known to the Government, and action will no doubt be taken so rapidly that there will be little or no chance for escape. u ! : ...

In perfect health we hardly realize that we have a network of nerves, but when health is ebbing, when strength is declin ing, the same nervous system gives the alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful sleep, irritability and unless corrected, leads straight to a breakdown. To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul sion is exactly what you should take; its rich nutriment gets into the blood and rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while the whole system responds to its refresh ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol. Scott & Bawne, Bloomfield, N. J. Now turn to the Classified Ads on slip. Pass the other end into the lower end of the piie and let It come out at the hole below the handle. Make an other loop in the wire at this end so that when this upper loop ia pulled up even with the end of the handle the knot of the lower loop will be well up Into the pipe. To use the catcher, pull the wire loop down as far as It will come, slip It over the hog's nose when be opens his mouth, and pull up on the loop at the handle. This brings his nose up against the end of the pipe, lou can easily hold a hog of almost any size, with one hand." Kansas Farmer. Loss of Humus Sports Exhaustion.
