    Crook County Fair
Continued from first page.
place. Crook county has some of
the finest cattle and horses to be
found any where. It will be well
worth your time to see the stock
exhibit alone.
We hope to see the golden
sheaves of grain, the forage
grasses and clover stacked higher
than ever before in the exhibition
building. You will never know
just what can be grown in Crook
county unless you see the fine dis
play of grains and grasses that will
be at the fair in September.
Last year brought out some
beautiful work in paintings, draw.
ings and embroidery work, but this
year's exhibit promises to far excel
any exhibit yet shown, as some of
the ladies have been preparing for
the 1914 fair for months past.
So come down from the hills, up
from the valleys and from the
broad plains with your best and we
will have another exchange of ideas
and a season of neighborly visiting
and all feel the better for another
year's work. There will not be a
dull moment something doing all
the time. The outlook for horse
racing is far the best for years.
There will be horses here from dif
ferent parts of this state and horses
from other states as well.
Cloudburst and Hail
Storm Ravage Crops
Cloudbursts and a hail storm
-swept over a large part of Sherman
county Sunday night and destroyed
large quantities of grain, the loss
being estimated all the way from
1125,000 to twice that amount.
Sone farmers lost their entire
crops, in several cases fields of
wheat running from 600" to 900
acres being swept absolutely bare.
The storm devastated the country
from Kent on the south to the
Columbia river on the north and
from the east bank of the Des
chutes river to east of the Monk
land district near the Gilliam coun
ty line. Standing grain, ripe for
the harvest, was destroyed where-
ever the storm broke, but green
grain is not damaged seriously.
Where threshing was in progress,
the crews were forced to desert the
work, and the cut grain as well as
that standing was destroyed.
The hail storm was most severe
near Kent and traveled northeast
ward from where it broke, mowing
down the grain in a strip two miles
wide, toward the Colnmbia river.
Near Shearer's Bridge, the cloud
burst did enormous damage and it
is feared that some farmers will be
ruined as a result of the calamity.
Successful Celebration
at Pringle Flats
As large a crowd as ever attended
a celebration in this part of the
country assembled at the site of
the new Community Hall on the 4th.
Prizes for the various events were
generously furnished by the mer
chants of Prineville and Bend, which
was greatly appreciated by the
patrons of these business men.
The ladies served a cafeteria din
ner throughout the day, the pro
ceeds of which will go to the new
hall. The races began early and
continued until the middle of the
afternoon and proved to be exciting
events. The foundation for the
new Community Hall being com
pleted it was used as a dancing pa
vilion. The ball game played with
the Dry Lake team was won by the
home team.
HOW CHILDREN GROW
Children grow by nourishment not
Overloaded stomach or rich foods but
qualities that are readily converted Into
life-sustaining blood; too often their
digestive powers cannot procure these
qualities from ordinary foods which results
in weakness, dullness and sickness.
If your children are under-size, under
weight, catch cold easily, are languid,
backward, pale or frail, give them Scott's
Emulsion which is pure medicinal nourish
ment. It sharpens the appetite, builds
healthy flesh, firm muscles and active
brains. Scott's is growing-food for
children. Refuse alcoholic substitutes.
Crop Prospects
Continued from First rge.
most cases the yield is large. Not
only is there a large production but
the quality is unusually good. . At
the Lafollette place on the Ochoco
the alfalfa averaged about three
tons to the acre. All kinds of hay
and grain on the Geo. Russell place
are far above the average. In
fact, everything points to a big hay
and grain crop in the Ochoco valley.
Some of the grain in the Hay
stack country was damaged by the
frosts and hot winds, or both to
gether, but the damage is not
nearly so great as has been re
ported. The recent rains have
been very beneficial to the fall
grain and the farmers are greatly
encouraged over hay and grain
prospects. Judge Springer says
his crop is far better than last year.
In the Post and Paulina sections
good conditions exist for the entire
planting and a bumper crop is in
sight.
The fall grain in most sections
is less than last year, but the crops
as a whole are considered as good
if not better than a year ago, and
last year's crop was something that
most any section would have been
mighty proud to brag about
Chad Dies of
Double Pneumonia
Lois, the eighteen-months-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. Rimp
ler of Dry Creek, died at the family
home last Monday of double pneu
monia. On Saturday last the
mother of the little one had pre
pared a meal and the child playing
around the table, reached for a cup
which contained hot tea and spilled
the contents of the cup over its face
and chest. The burns were not
thought to be serious, but later
developed into pneumonia. Dr
Edwards was called Monday noon,
but the child died soon after his
arrival.
The funeral was conducted
Wednesday from the Methodist
church by Rev. Williams, and the
remains were interred in the Union
cemetery.
Two Old-Timers
Meet Untimely Death
Private advices to former friends
in Prieville announce the death of
two old timers of this section, Dick
Henkle and Gus Delore, at their
homes in Idaho. From reports it
seems that Henkle and Delore had a
difficulty between themselves result
ing in Delore shooting Henkle to
death. Friends of Henkle gathered,
captured Delore and strung him up,
riddling his body with bullets. Par
ticulars are difficult to obtain, but
these are the facts as near as we
have been able to get them. Both
parties formerly lived in the Suplee
country and were well known by
the old settlers.
Fractured His Knee Cap
Wm. Mason of Grimes Valley
had the misfortune to fracture his
knee cap this week. While loading
hay with a derrick fork he became
entangled in the ropes, and losing
his balance fell to the ground sus
taining a compound fracture of the
knee cap. Dr. Edwards reports
his patient getting along nicely and
will be able to be out and around
shortly.
Christian Endeavor
The interest in the Presbyterian
Christian Endeavor Society is not
confined to the membership of the
society. Members of the church
and other friends are enjoying the
meetings. The service next Sunday
evening is at the usual hour. The
topic for discussion is "Faithfulness
in Little Things." Leader, Miss
Edith Smith. There will be special
music. Committee.

Eight Innings of Fast
Exhibition Base Ball
The Grass Valley base ball team
came over Saturday for a return
series with the locals, bringing with
them Krause, a Portland professional
pitcher as well as players from Moro
and other burgs up that way and a
large following of rooters.
The locals lost the game Satur
day through hard luck, Tethrow
being fallen on by the Grass Valley
second baseman and hurt so badly
that he was forced to leave the
game. As it was, the locals by a
great batting rally in the 9th in
ning very nearly overcame a lead of
five runs by landing fiercely on the
imported Krause. The final score
was 8 to 6.
For eight innings the game on
Sunday afternoon was without doubt
the fastest and prettiest exhibition
of base ball ever seen in this city,
or anywhere else for that matter.
In the last half of the 9th inning
with the score a tie at 1 to I, Prine
ville got men on first and third with
none out, when the Grass Valley
contingent contended that the man
at third had been put out and re
fused to continue the game. After
a long argument the local players
decided to allow the man at third to
be called out and continue the game,
admittedly a very foolish thing to
do as the decision was very close
and could have been called either
way. Another dispute broke out in
the tenth inning and the game was
never finished.
This series ends the base ball
season, but it is probable that the
fair association will make arrange
ments for a base ball tournament
this fall, since it has proven such a
drawing card this season and prac
tically all the boys will be here to
play at fair time.
Methodist Church
At the Methodist church Sunday
morning Dr. H. O. Perry, district
superintendent of The Dalles dis
trict, will preach. This will be Dr.
Perry's last sermon in Prineville for
the present year. At 8 p. m. the
pastor will have for his sermon
subject, "The Choosing of a Life
Companion." Let all those who
are contemplating entering upon
the sea of matrimony be present,

The quarterly conference will be
held in the church Saturday at 8 p.
m. Let all the members attend
this meeting. John E. Williams,
pastor.
Oregon Schools
Are Improving
"The minimum school term in
Oregon is now six months, but
seven years ago it was but three
months. Sixty days of school to
305 days vacation," said Frank K.
Welles, assistant state school super
intendent, in addressing the teach
ers of the Agricultural Colletre sum
mer school. "The minimum al
lowed the teachers on examination
has been raised from 40 to 60 per
cent, and the teaching force has im
proved accordingly. School build
ings of brick, stone and lumber
have taken the place of the old
wooden shacks. Text books and
courses of study have been changed
to include the useful things that
make for the student's welfare.
The number of high schools in the
state has grown from five to 115 in
a few years, and the number of
graduates from high schools has in
creased to 1500 during the last
school year. In 1915 laws now
enacted will go into effect whereby
no inexperienced teacher without
professional training can receive a
certificate. There is also a general
demand for an eight-months mini
mum term."
Died
Miss Mamie Boyce, daughter of
Alonzo W. Boyce of Culver, died
Monday, July 13, of diabetes, at the
age of 16 years. The funeral was
conducted Wednesday at Madras.
Deceased was a niece of Countv
Clerk Brown and Mrs. Dale Jones
of Prineville.
