thought. Next day however the arm
started to pain her very much. - She
went to a doctor who made an In

fortunate, as It seems, that atten. ,

Crop
Conditions
In Wallowa
WALLOWA, Ore. (Special) Since
completion of the fall seeding on the
farms of this community, only a lim
ited amount of farm work la possible,
due to the very dry conditions of the
soli. Many of the farmers ot the
community had contemplated doing a
large amount of fall plowing, how
ever, no one In the dry sections are
attempting to do any plowing yet and
but little Is being don so far In
the valley. Some ot the valley farm
ers state that unless rain should come
soon and wet the soli enough for
plowing that they expect to wet the
fields by Irrigation In order to get
some of their land plowed this fall.
Fall sown wheat In many parts of
the county Is coming up very slow
ly, the most of the early sowed fields
are very spotted. However, reports
from the upper Leap section state
that the rains of week before last
were sufficient to wet the ground to
a depth to reach the wheat in the
dry spots and some ot It appeared to
be coming through In fair shapo at
this time.
Posture conditions have not had a
chance of improving any and much
of the stock Is being gathered from
the dry ranges and brought to the
valley and placed on green pasture
wherever It Is possible to secure pas
ture. The demand has been so heavy
that many desiring pastures have
been unable to get It. Livestock
have lost flesh considerably during
the past few weeks.
A number of the farmers of the
community have been busy recently
digging their potatoes. Some report
fair turn-outs, while some others In
the hill sections state that their
yields have been quite light.
One double-deck car of fat hogs
was sent out from Enterprise the j
lost of the week by the Wallowa i
County Stock Marketing association.;
A shipment had been scheduled from i
Lostlne and Wallowa. However, witn
a drop In the market during the past
week some of the farmers In the
Lostlne community decided to delay
shipment for a week or two hoping
for a raise In prices.
A good many of the spring pigs
are still being ranged In the fields
and will not be fattened until later
In the foil. Wheat sales ore report
ed to still be quite scorce in this
CARLOAD FINE LIVESTOCK

PUT TUB MJLK PITCHER BACK
ON THE TABLE
"Put tho MJlk Pitcher Back on the
Table" was originally a slogan used
nationwide with the Idea that re
storing the family milk pitcher to Its
rightful place would help In stabiliz
ing dairy markets. But It has proven
to do more than this, for it not only
assures better health for the mem
bers of the family but docs It more
economically.
Fortunately every family can afford
to revive the milk drinking custom,
a renewal of an early American habit.
Milk, noted nutrition authorities are
agreed, gives mow food valuo for the
money expended than any other food.
In times like these, when every house
wife needs to keep a watchful eye on
the food budget, the milk drinking
vogue at each meal Is a most cco
nomlcsl and healthful one to Inaug
urate. Too often children do not want to
drink milk because father or mother,
older brother or sister docs not have
to drink It. Much can be done by
example and, with the milk pitcher
on the table and each one accepting
his share without comment, we will
do more In teaching children to en
Joy milk than any other one thing.
Hand -In -hand with the re-establishing
of the milk pitcher to the
family table comes the revival of the
vogue for milk glass, one of the first
types of glass made in this country
over a century end a half ago. But
don't be regretful If you are unable
to humor your desire to hsve an
antique pitcher. Begin now to serve
milk at the table (any kind of pitch
er which holds at least one glass for
each person In the family will fill
the purpose) and you will be reviving
a custom most important to the
health and happiness of your family.

Before the curtain goes up in tho morning and after
it falls in tho afternoon, a tremendous amount of rou
tine work must be accomplished by the bank in tho
interests of its customers.
Before opening tho doors, the wheels must bo set in
motion to handlo innumerable transactions during that
day. After closing, all those transactions must be re
conciled, deposits credited, withdrawals debted, trans
fers made, cash and currency checked and the books
of the bank balanced regardless of the time required.
Doesn't a new valuo occur in respect to banking
operation when one gets the picture from the inside
as well as the outside? A good average working-day
is given over to taking in and handing out money,
affording consultation, making loans, effecting collec
tions and then another working day of routine re
mains to be done.
