Some exceptionally heavy crops of hay have been harvested here tills season, much of which was on fields which were seeded during the past two years. The meadow hay In most placej Is shorter than usual, but Is said to be ol ex cellent quality. Many of the men working In the crews are being paid m nay, me wage ana hay, prices being figured In this instance is said to be 92.00 per day for men and u per ton for hay, Most of the farmers are finding sufficient help and with some smaller Jobs completed more men will bo released for help In the grain harvest which will be starting soon. Some farmers owning combines are getting their machines repaired and ready for har vesting, and it appears likely that some combining will bo done In parts of the hill areas by Aug. 6. Dry land pastures ore becoming very short and tho gradual fall-off In milk produc tion from tlie dairy herds continues. Some hay feeding Is being don at a few forms but most farmers are try ing to go along on pasture alone.

WINTERS Next to Hoover (Irocerv Visitors Puzzled by Monument to a Leg THOUSANDS of visitors to the battlefield of Saratoga at Schuy- leruvillo, New York, have beeu puz zlcd by this monument to a man's left leg; since the corner of the bat. tlellold In which it stands woa re stored by the Saratoga Monument Association. The memorial, apparently carved from a block of marble from the nearby Vermont quarries, does not mention the name of the man It honors, for hero though be was, he later became a traltoi to his coun try. Ho was Benedict Arnold. When more than fifty years ago tho association erected a monument to the American generals of the battle, Arnold's name was omitted. But MaJ. den. John Watts de Pay stor, an officer of the association, thought some recognition of Arn old's heroism in the battle should be made. He could not honor Arnold by name, nor could he honor the whole of Arnold, even anonymously. Hence he erected this marble memorial to the left leg the leg that received a Hessian bullet In the thick of the battle. LAMB MARKET IS QUITE ACTIVE NOW WALLOWA (Special) Considerable activity in marketing farm flock lambs h03 taken place the past week. The Wallowa County Stock. Market ing association has been gathering top lambs as has also A. W. Johnson, of Lower valley. It is reported that five cor loads were disposed of during the week, with the bulk of them bought by M. J. Sevier of Diamond Prairie. Tho price for the top lambs Is said to be $5.36 with under grades bringing $5. It la also reported that some choice lots of lambs from tho upper part of the valley recently brought $5.50 pr hundred. These shipments have about cleaned up the bulk of the February and March lambs. Many later lambs will soon bo largo enough for market and It is likely each week or two will see the gathering of a car or two for some time yet. .Some young ewes have been ,80m for from $3 to $3.50 per head In small numbers. Lambs from tho largo bands will not be ready for marketing until about the middle of September. It Is expected, by that tlmo an average will be around 80 pounds. Forage conditions are hold ing up well In the higher sections of the county and sheep doing well. Some of the range areas were heavily soaked by rains two weeks ogo. when light showers fell here. .Must Have 1 tee n ltellglnus SAN DIEGO, Cal.

Baker BAKERY Federal Prosecutor Tells How Public May Help Fight Kidnapings State and federal authorities have accepted the challenge hurled- at them by the rle of kidnaping Into menace of alarming proportions. Here Joseph B. Keenan, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, outlines to The Associated Press the strategy of the Joint action against the monstrous foe. In it he emphasizes the responslblllay resting on the public, If the battle Is to end In victory. Uy Joseph u. Keeuau ' (Special Assistant to the Attorney 1 Oeperal) (Copyright, 1933, by The Associated Press) WASHINGTON (H) The kldnapind of John J. O'Connell Jr., In Albany emphasizes one of the greatest handi caps we meet In solving such cases the loss of time.- The criminals warn families to maintain secrecy on the threat of death to the victim. It Is only natural that the families are tempted to comply with such orders. But it has come to the porht where the public must be warned how to J act when such crimes occur, and must be reassured on the score of protec tion from the federal government. Federal officers constantly empha size and strictly observe the rule of secrecy. The public need have no fear of calling them In Immediately upon the receipt of threatening let ters or the disappearance of a rela tive or friend. , , Citizens can place a lone distance call immediately to Edgar Hoover, di rector of the federal bureau of in vestigation. Able and experienced of ficers will be dispatched to the scene immediately. WJiere The V. S. Enters 8lnce the enactment of the fed eral kidnaping law, federal officers can enter an Investigation from the start. If the criminals are appre hended and prosecution follows, the caso comes under federal Jurisdiction only if the victim was transported across a state line. . But that Is usually nob known un til the case Is solved. Hence In any kidnaping case the family of the vic tim can request the aid of federal of ficers. Kidnaping Is one of the major con cerns in the new federal war against . crime, wmcn we plan, will unite lo cal and federal law enforcement sys tems Into a much more effective pro tection for the citizens. In kidnaping cases we are bending our efforts toward two primary ends : First, to return the victim, and to return him safely. second, to take steps to pun ish the perpetrators of the crime. But, first and foremost, the fami lies can be assured that the utmost secrecy will be observed, in so far as the bureau of Investigation Is concerned. Finger-printing Improved Our system of crime apprehension cannot be fully described, naturally, since discussion would place crim inals further on their guard. However, it can be said that since kldnaplngs Jiave been onthe lncreoso" wo have built up a finger print sys tem that Is proving of great value.

How Time Is Lost Wo were not notified of the O'Con nell kidnaping until Monday night. The young man disappeared Friday, We learned of it through o, telegram to Senator Copeland of New York, That meant four days of supremely laluablo time was lost. Let me empnaslze again, the family In such a situation can denend on fedoral officers for quiet, efficient secret operation. Tho spirit of this department, Is first aqd last, to get results. It Is difficult to say Just why this hideous crime is on the Increase. Most likely, the expected repeal of the eighteenth amendment is driv ing criminals Into this new field, as they foresee the loss of a good liv ing through the sale of liquor. Le galized beer has already deprived many of them of their usual Illegiti mate employment. ' i We are planmng, and are already receiving, much closer co-operation with local authorities. If necessary moro men will be placed In the fed eral forces until we stamp out the wave of kidnaping-. But the family and friends of the kidnaped must do their part In cooperating promptly to bring about the desired result. s w mh a : ruLTiT I Lew: Art PURE 'Kr1 ' lard s I - & 39c f COSTS ONLY !
