The Judging Teams
Our hats are off to the members of
the 4-H club Judging team which
made such a splendid record the first
of the week at' the state fair. Com
petition there Is . stiff, there are
scores and scores of competing teams
and they have all made good records.
So we are decidedly proud of the
three boys, Clayton Fox of Imbler,
Troy Becker of Lower Cove, and Tru
man Erwln of Island City, for hav
ing made elxth place and' with a
total score which was not far, behind
the winners of first place.
And then there must be a word for
the team which beat Union cdunty
by one place, because thoy are sort
of related to the Union county boys
nephews, wouldn't one say? That
team of boys from Malheur county,
Russell McKennon's boys. Russell,
who. 1b assistant county agent of Mal
heur county and county club leader,
coached a team this year, the first
they have ever had In outside com
petition, and the team Just naturally
walked off with fifth place. Russell
doesn't enjoy the complimentary
publicity he has earned of late be
cause of varied honors, but ho should
remember that if he had set the
high school on fire, or killed some
one, he would adorn all the front
pages of the country, but since he
has gone out and made good and Is
making good, why ''honor to whom
honor." Russell came Into this val
ley Saturday afternoon bringing with
him Bob Winters, Arnold Slippy,
Leonard and James Nichols.. They
practiced Judging sheep and hogs In
this valley. They stayed all. night
Saturday night at the Frank McKen
non home near Imbler and went on
to Salem Sunday morning early.
The Pomona Grange
Last Saturday members of the Blue
Mt. grange entertained the Pomona
grange at their hall near La Grande
and patrons were present from Wolf
Greek, Medical Springs, Pleasant
Drove, Mt. Fannie, Rock Wall, Cricket
Flat and the hostess group. The
business meetings of the day and the
exemplification of the ritualistic work
was presided over by J. A. Nice, of
Wolf Creek, master of the county or
ganlzation. At noon Blue Mt. en
tertalned the large company of guests
at a roast chicken dinner. Supper
was also served between the after
noon and evening sessions. The aft
ernoon program given under the di
rection of the Pomona lecturer is al
ways an open meeting with a pro
gram to which the public Is invited.
The special feature which the lec
turer. Miss Minnie Holman, provided
for Saturday's weeting was a debate
on the proposed school merger bill,
and so interesting was It and so in
terested were the people present that
other speakers withdrew in favor of
this number. Hector McPherson, of
the Willamette valley, whoso name
has been linked up with the project
from the first, and who has. been
spending his time of lato campaign
ing for the measure, explained it in
full, carefully setting forth the claims
of the proponents, that In addition
to making possible greater strides ed
ucationally, it will mean a distinct
saving in taxes. An attorney from
Baker was to have represented those
who are opposed to the merger, but
ho was unable to come to Union
county and A. W. Nelson, of La
Grande, expressed the arguments of
the opponents, that the merger will
be a serious blow to education In this
state and that the proposition in
place of reducing taxes will call for
greater expenditures. After the two
speakers had presented their argu
ments, those in tho meeting were
privileged to ask questions and the
subject was discussed more or less
informally.
To Elgin
Miss Clara Auclair, who has spent
tho summer months at the home of
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. A. Au
clair at Dry Creek, has gone to Elgin,

dio for the year's work.

North Powder's new pastor, tho Rev.

. tho hearty cooporatlon of the people
of North Powder and Its district. Mrs.

rious desires and requirements for a
thoroughly good fair and yet keep

A Blc Wheat Yield
The Wallowa Sun says that on a
9 , -acre field T. A. Bakke harvested
an even 601 bushels of wheat of the
soft Federation variety. The field
was approximately half Irrigated and
the remainder unlrrlgated. The only
noticeable difference was In the size
of the kernels, which were consider
ably larger on the Irrigated portion
of the field, otherwise the grain was
very even.
This field was a part of the land
Mr. Bakke had reclaimed by hard la
bor and muoh patience, together with
considerable outlay of capital, from
tho winding bed of Whiskey creek.
Originally the creek pursued a wind
ing course through the valley, mak
ing It apparently worthless. But Mr.
Bakke saw the possibilities, because
of liia early training In his native
land where much of the farm land 1b
built up by controlling the streams.
The winding of Whiskey creeK
through Mr. Bakke 's place made a
channel some 713 yards lung, IS to
30 feet wide and from 6 to 10 feet'
deep. For weeks Mr. Bakke, together
with help he had to hire, grubbed
the brush from the soil. Then by dig
ging a ditch along the .edge of his
place for the creek to follow he re
untlllable. A vast amount of earth;
claimed the last It had once made'
had to be moved In filling up the
old creek bed and leveling the sur
face, but Mr. Bakke feels well repaid
for his efforts and expenditures.
A part of this reclaimed and re
built soil Is In alfalfa, from four and
one-half acres of which 32 tons of
hay were cut, In the three cuttings
for the season.
Mr. Bakke has another piece of
reclamation work to undertake and
figures it will be well worth the ef
fort and a good producing field. The
land Is now waterlogged by several
springs and a drainage system will be
Installed to take away the surplus
water.
Bucks
Bagged;
Wallowa
WALLOWA. Ore. (Special) The
first week of the deer season has
brought moderate luck to some of
the nlmrodB of this section. Audls
Bechtel. of Middle valley, bagged a1
209-pound buck during the latter
part of the week. Jake Silvers and
Verdo Balrd also killed one during
the latter part of the week. A party
consisting of Stanley Shell, Hoi lis
Bull and others returned home Sat
urday evening with two or three
bucks. Many others have made trips
into the timbered areas since the
opening of the season; however, sev
eral have returned home without
having seen any deer. Reports from
some who have done considerable
traveling in the woods recently indi
cate that the supply of bucks Is not
as large as has been tho case in past
years. The recent rains which have
dampened the vegetation consider
ably in the woods have made hunting
conditions much better and has also
lessened the danger of fire.
L. W. Minor was busy the early
part of the past week bringing t
part of his lambs out from the Pow-
watka range section. The lambs were
driven to the stockyards here Wed
nesday for the purpose of selling.
However,, some of the t buyers who
were In the county cad done con
slderable buying In the upper end of
the valley and several of the small
lots of lambs which were held here
for. a couple of days were not taken
According to reports, some of the
small lots of the community will be
shipped out by the Wallowa County
Marketing association during the
coming week. Preparations are also
being made for shipping of one or
two cars of cattle by the association
within the next week or two.
U. A. McCrae, Roy Gostln and
Frank Murphy were in the Powwatka
section recently getting a ' load of

J. D. Slaughter and sons, of Par
snip creek, have been busy during
the1 past week finishing up seeding a
large tract of fall wheat at the J. F.
Haun ranches In the Leap and Par
snip creek districts. They report the
moisture condition quite good on
some of, the early plowed land and
that much of the wheat Is coming
up at this time.

DIET AND TEETH ,
A well balanced diet, which means
ono rich In all the dietary essentials,
Is tho best basis for tho building and
protection of the teeth. Teeth arc
nourished from the ssme sources as
all other parts of the body and when
they fall to receive the proper nour
ishment they are imperfectly formed.
Faulty composition of tho teeth
along with Improper diet results in
degeneration and decay.
Among the elements needed for
good tooth structure, calcium and
phosphorous are the most Important.
Tho chief sourco of theso two mln

Farm
Conditions
In Wallowa
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) The
moisture In this community Is still
Insufficient to make fall seeding con
ditions good. However, during the
past 10 days a large part of the
aummerfollowed land In the hill sec-
tlons has been seeded. The rains
which fell over this county the early
part of last week did not wet the
soil to any great depth and drying
winds which have blown consider-
ably since have sapped out a part
of this moisture. Some of the farm-
era state that a part of their grain '
which was seeded last week Is be-
ginning to come up and should more
rain come during the next week or
two will likely get a good start be -
fore winter. The most of the fields
have been worked Into excellent con-
dltlon.
A little threshing of late spring
grain in the valley section is still
being done. Giles Plass reports that.
ho still has a field of barley and )
oats to thresh for J. F. Fisher, at t
the former John Pace farm a few
miles east of town. A few Jobs in
other portions of the valley still re-

The greater portion of the third

WE HAVE
THOMAS HARRIS .
Cove, Ore,
. Thla 1b tho story of Thomas Har
ris, who has not lived long but has
lived much. Ho was a soldier In the
great World war and did his "bit"
In a little of the bitterest part of
tho conflict.
Ho was born in Hiram, Roanoke
county, Virginia, on April 14, 1802.
His parents and grandparents were
natives of Virginia. Tho family lived
on a form and his father also did
carpenter work. In 1001 they came
west to Cove. They stayed a year
and went back to Virginia, but after
six months there, they came back
and have made their home here evor
since,
Mr. Harris Is one or a family of
eoven children, five of whom are liv
ing. His parenta also are living. He
was educated in the Covo school and
Uvod a rather unoventful life until
he decided to take a hand in tho
groat war.
Ho was married to Miss Gladys
Martin, daughtor of Mrs. Nellie Mar
tin, on tho fifth day of June, 1017,
and on tho 23rd day of the same
month he loft for Camp Lewis, and
48 days later he landed In France
with tho 40th division of the Ameri
can troops. After some more march
ing and drilling, ho was one of 126
men mustered into Company B, 308th
infantry, 77th division, U. 8. re
placements, bringing thla company
back to full strength of 260 men
ready for the Mouse-Argonne offen
sive which started on August 26.
A month later they wero In the
Argonno Forest and it was war Just
as Sherman described it, only more
Thoy hod been ordered to leave
all equipment, even blankot and
ovorcoat and for 14 daya they wero
fighting with no shelter or cover
ing In mud. water and rain, with
only four meals In all that tlmo. -
They had been commanded that
"ground gained should be held at all
cost" oach day thoy were ablo to
make a llttlo advance and on Oct. 2
they found that the battalions to tho
right and left had been unablo to
advanco and that the Oermana had
formed In their roar and that thoy
woro surrounded. Major Whittlesey
sent a patrol of 16 men, Including
Mr. Harris, under a sergoant to re
connoitre and as thoy reached the
crest of a hill, machlno guns picked
off nlno and only sevon succeeded
in getting back to tholr "fox" holes.
As he says, "Tho following days
woro full of horror. Wo wore con
stantly repulsing assaults with hand
grenades; machlno guna woro find
ing the positions where we were dug
in, killing many, including our com
pany commander. None of us had
anything to cat and our canteens

healthy appetites which can be satisfied in no better
way than by giving them a slice of good bread spread

my companion and had partly filled! '
another when the machlno gun fire,
atarted. I fell flat and tried to shield)
myself behind the stub of a tree
about six inches In diameter. My -oompanlon
ran back a rod or so and
fell flat. When he stopped I ran to
where he was. Wo repeated thia
until we reached the major with one
canteen and a half of water."
Their severest trial came when
they wore shelled by our own Amer
ican artillery. Through some blun-)
dor, the forces they wero expecting)
to rescue them poured a barrage overt
them for an hour and 46 minutes. A
carrier pigeon was sent out with thla. -message,
"Wo aro along tho road par
allel 276 H. Our own artillery IK
dropping a barrage directly on us.
For heaven's sake Btop It." The mes-'.
sage got througn. for live days. tne?
nightmare of war went on. Eaoh day
they saw airplanes dropping food and ,
messages but tho Germans got them.
The fifth night an advance patrol) ,
of the 307th Infantry reached them
and the next morning relief came' ;

Only 64 of the 260 men who wenV .
tn wero loft to como out and they
missioned officer and the company (
commander were -dead. They were
not returned for rest even then, but
tho company was recruited with re- n
placements two different times and
thoy continued the offensive until n
the armistice, 83 days later. Of the f
250 men who started on Sept. 26, ,
only five remained on Armistice day .
00 per cent wero casualties. Mr.
Harris returned to Cove June 1, 1610.
after almost a year of absence.
Mr. and Mrs. Harris have a son
and two daughters and are taking
a prominent part -in the every-day
life of tho Cove community.
