BOYS AND GIRLS
Raise Pigs for the Government Help
' Win the War., ,
Just as an example of what some
boys, as well as girls; can do to help
win the war, the following little story
of what a small boy did last year in
raising a pig for his "Uncle Sam" is
here reproduced.
It is a true story, told in the boy's
own language: , ' ' .-'',
THE STORY OF MYSELF , s
BY- MILLIE OUROC JERSEY '
x I live on the Skyline Fruit Farm.
It is a nice place to live. My brothers
and sisters and me arc small pigs, on
ly one week old. : We can get out of
the pen because 'we are so small we
can crawl under the boards that are
on the bottom of the pen. , When we
get out, we go up to the barn, and our
master gives us skimmed milk in a
bran new trough.
I am six week old now. Gee! but
I full big. I am big enough that I can
Jeave my. mother. . ...
Yesterday -a big man -came out to
our pen to look at us. He said he was
from Salem and he wanted to know
how old we were. , "They are six
weeks old," my master told him. He
asked how much he would sell us for.
"Four dollars a piece." The man fold
him to bring us to the iS. P. stock
yards, Salem.
Next day our master hitched up the
team to the big wagon. He caught
every one of us by the Jeg,and put us
in the wagon. Then came a long and
tiresome ride. .The wagon would go
over1 bumps and jar us awful bad.
Finaljy the big wagon stopped, turned
in about every direction and at last
backed up. Our master raised the
end gate of the wagon and we ran
down a plank about four feet wide,
into a big pen. The big pen was aw
fully muddy, but we liked the mud af
ter we go used to jt.
The next day a boy came and asked
the big man if he could buy a pig. The
big man said, "The biggest one, you
can have for four dollars and twenty
five cents.. (He meant me.) The
smallest one you can have for three
dollars and seventy-five cents,"
. . The said he would buy me. They
went in a little house. I heard the
boy say, "To what name shall I write
the check?' The big man said, "You
may writo it out to G. W. Eyre."
Now I belong to ' a boy named
Maurice Wagoner. He came out in
our pen with a gunny sack.- He caught
me before I could say good-bye to my
brothers and sisters. He put me in
the sack, swung the sack over his
shoulder and walked away with me,
giggling to himself because he had
such a good pig.
When I got to my new home, Maur
ice hooked some scales on to my sack
and .weighed me. I weighed twenty
six pounds. After he weighed mo, he
took me. out of the sack and put me
into a pen. He always fed me shorts,
skimmed milk and fresh clover.
Now I am about six and one-half
months old. I weigh nearly two hun
dred pounds. I am ready tor the fair.
My master has put me in the wag
on. He is taking me to the fair. . At
the fair, everybody looked at me. One
man offered my master fifty dollars
for me. My master liked me so well
that he would not take it, but I shall
repay him. I am going to make him
proud of me, (he is proud of me al-
icady) by raising a nice family of
pigs for him.'
My master thinks I am a smart
pig because I can write a belter story
than he can. I hope nr. story wins a
prize for my master, beefise he said
I ate up light dollars and five cents
worth of dry feed.
If any of you care to write to tne
in the spring to sec. if I have raised
some pigs, why here is my address:'

FROM
Union County Quota la $324 Commit'
tec Will Push Forward Work
Until Close.
In submitting the first report of the
sales otW. S. Stamps, Chairman Fred
L. Meyers, of the committee, calls at
tention to the fact, first the quota for
Union county has been placed at $324,-
000, and with the first sales made
$100.00 this report shows that the
work of the committee has only just
begun, and a call is made upon all pa
triots those wh have sons, brothers,
fathers, or other relatives at the front,
as well ait those others who desire
the war to end as soon as possible to
come out in the .open and go down to
your bank and make your purchases,
without waiting for the formal call
from the committee, or its workers.
From the latest dispatches it would
seem that the Gerirans are on the run,
and the Austrians are in a rout from
the attacks of the Italians, but more
men and supplies.' are .' needed every
hour, if the women of this country are
to escape the horrors already meted
out to the women-as well 'as children
pf tho French and Belgium people
and only more money will stay the
iron -hand of . "The Beast of Berlin.' ,
The total amount of sales of W, S, S.

A detached report of the differ
ent districts of sales mode will .be pub

LIBRARY EXHIBIT
AT CHAUTAUQUA
The public library of Lu Graiidc had
a tent at the park during Chautauqua
week: which : was. for the purposo
of demonstrating, what is being done
in this line. The tent ws most popu
lar among the children who came.
there for rest and reading after be
coming tired out with the busy exer
cises of the day. ... . i ' .
The principal part of the exhibit
during chautauquo week was one of
the traveling libraries which are sup
plied from the state library at iSnlem.
Through this interchange there may
be access to a much larger variety of
books and topics than these main
tained at, the home institution. .
The aL Grande library is now the
distributing agency for the county, and
four such libraries of fifty volumes
each are now in use in the rural dis
tricts....: t , .; . .' '.',, :
One of the principal intents .of the
exhibit was to show that the - La
Grande library has practical books by
standard authors on such, topics as
military training, farming and food
conservation,, canning, cookery and
kindred topics. And such work of this
kind that is not op hand will be pro
curred. The librarian also attends to .the
work of collecting books for soldiers.
, The library is supported by a tax
and the intention is to make it a use
ful and valuable institution for every
one. All the public has to do is. to call
for the books and anything of this
kind of a practical and useful nature
wi)l be provided if it is not already on
the shelves. .. - 'v.- v .
