(Special) The ; late arrival of Judge Arnotte this i morning made it impossible to handle but a small percentage of the horses to be judged. The magnificent dis play of pure bred stock at the show brings to light the fact with greater emphasis than ever that Union is the meeting place of stockmen. Wal lowa, Baker and Union counties being represented in the shorthorn exhibits are leader in cattle displays. The number of sheep and hogs are small but the quality of the stock exhibited is a great revelation of the possibili ties in the production of pure bred stock in Union County and vicinity.

The Food Conservation committee held its regular meeting at the Y. M. C. A. last night. This organization is at work to impress upon all who are raising fruit, vegetables, etc., the im-1 portancc of allowing nothing to go to waste. ' : A canning club has been organized to inspect and help all who wish to can and dry surplus food The reason for this being that each family and community prepare enough for its - own consumption, so that the entire output of canneries, etc., may be kept available for the rest of the world, which America must help feed.

"The bed is the most important requisite to a good camping trip. It may be only a pile of leaves but it must be comfortable." In the June Woman's Heme Companion we read that folding canvas cots and chairs are carried. "For bedding get two rubber sheets for top and bottom if possible. The best thing is an imita-tion-leathor top from an automobile. Canvas or duck are good if you can not get rubber. A double comfort makes a very good mattress. When camping several nights, get a bale of hay or straw. Take such blankets as you are likely to need, and pillows if wanted. For one-night camps, unless there are heavy dews, it is often need less to pitch the tent. The rubber sheets protect and give warmth. Use them to roll the bedding in when packing, and spread on the ground to sit on when you eat." Nougatine Cream. 1-3 cup sugar, 1-4 cup water, 1-4 pound marshmallows, 1-4 cup almond paste. 1 tablespoon maraschino cor dial, 2 egg whites, 1 cup heavy cream, 1-4 cup maraschino cherries, 3 table spoons chopped pistachio nuts. Put sugar and water in saucepan, bring to boiling point and let boil un til syrup will spin a thread when dropped from tip of spoon. Add marshmallows cut in halves, and al mond paste, and when partially melt ed beat, using an egg beater, until mixture is smooth. Pojir gradually, while beating constantly, on whites of eggs beaten stiff, and beat until cold; then add maraschino cordial, heavy cream beaten stiff, maraschino cher ries cut in pieces, and chopped pistachio nuts. Woman's Home Companion. Portland, Or., June 13. (Special) The period of grace for men of mil itary age who failed for any reason to register on War Census Day is ended. From now on, every slacker is to be hunted down without mercy. There will be no more leniency. Governor Withycombe has received official instructions from the Provost Marshal General, at Washington, D. C, that the most vigorous enforce ment of the penal clause of the law will bo' required against all who have not registered. It is announced that the quota of men to be drafted into the military service from each state will be based on previous census estimates, not on the actual registration figures, which in Oregon were slightly lower than the estimate. 'Inasmuch as the men to be called are chosen by lot, the failure to register of any man who should have done so increases the chances against every other inan who did his duty and registered. For this reason, particularly, and also as a patriotic duty, every one of the 62,840 men who registered in Ore gon is asked to help in the drive to round up the shirkers. Already the sheriffs, police officers and precinct registrars have been di rected by the Adjutant General to re port all suspicious cases. But now through the press, and in response to official orders from Washington, all men who have registered are asked to aid in this Anti-Slacker campaign. Of course, there may be a few who can present legitimate excuses for not having registered. But they will have to present them in court. The time for leniency is passed, and imprison ment faces those who tried to evade their duty to their country. Mrs. N. D. Varner has recovered from a serious operation and returned to her home in Enterprise this morning. Dr. Moore, of Imbler, brought Perry Veach, of Summerville, in for an operation.
