SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
I HORSES JUDGED THIS A. M.
Union, June 13. (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.
Tho horse parade formed at 12:30
and marched through the principal
streets of tho city. Music was fur
nished by the Union and North Pow
der brass bands. All types of horses
exhibited took part in the parade
splendid draft horses and light-boned
saddlers and drivers.
The cattle will be paraded before
the grand stand this afternoon.

Portland, Juna 13. (United Press)
The Union Meat Co. today bought
the Lebanon wool pool of thirty-five
thousand pounds at sixty-three and
a half cents per pound. This is the
highest price paid in the state's history.
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.
Mrs. J. E. Foley was elected chair
man of this committee. Every one
is asked to take an interest in this
movement so that none may go hungry.

Best Beds for Camping.
"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

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. Mr. Veach has appendicitis.
Mr. Holmes, who has been visiting
with his daughter and renewing old
acquaintances the last few days, re
turned to his home at Seattle last
night.
The following registered at tho
Imperial hotel, Portland, Monday,
jthe 11th: Mr. and Mrs. F. A. Hanson,
Geo. T. Cochrnn, La Grande; Laura
jMcKeehan, Union; J. J. Broughton
land wife, La Grande; Mrs. Edwin
Marvin, Wallowa.
Arthur M. Cornell and wife, of
Boise, were in La Grande yesterday.
Mr. Cornell represents the National
Highway Map Co. and he is traveling
by auto mapping the Eastern Oregon
highway from Idaho to Portland.
Dr. W. D. McMillan left last night
for Portland to attend the Masonic
grand lodge. Dr. McMillan will re
turn the latter part of the week and
he will bring home with him Mrs. Mc
Millan and daughter who have been
visiting in Portland the last six weeks.
