One of the greatest musical foa
tures ever offered the citizens of
Prineville was the program given
by the pupils of Professor Thomas
J. Hill at the Methodist church in
this city on Friday evening last.
The program was a piano recital
and was participated in by sixteen
of the pupils who have been taking
instruction on the piano during
the winter.
Twenty-two numbers were pre
sented which included selections
from the primary department,
others of a more difficult nature,
and finally some of the most fin
bV! and advanced pieces that have
been presented to the public here
by people who have been trained
in the city. Numbers were rendered
by Ila Johnson, George Springer,
Lalocia Jacobs, Myrtle Lister, Paul
been discussed at community meet
ings and through the press during
the past few months. Practically
all of the farmers community clubs
have expressed themselves as in
favor of such an organization for
Crook County -and some of these
community clubs have already
elected a delegate to attend the
central meeting in the county for
the organization of this County
Agricultural Council. Mr. Paul V.
Maris, State Ltader in County
Agent Work for Oregon has written
rgriculturist Lovctt as follows re
garding these organizations in Ore
gon :
"I have received your letter in
which you state that practically all
of the community clubs in your
county favor the idea of organizing
Clark. Viola Johnson, Laura Nel- County Agricultural Council. I
ion, Ruth Dishman. Fay Bussett,
Helen Elkins, Mildred Dishman,
Beatrice Clark, Lelia Garfield and
Elma Noble.
Quartetts were presented by
Myrtle Lister and Fay Bussett,
Ruth Dishman and Beatrice Clark;
Mildred Dishman and Elma Noble
nd Beatrice Clark and Elma
Noble, Ruth Dishman and Mildred
Dishman.
A trio was rendered by Mildred
Dishman, Elma Noble and Beatrice
Clark, and a quartett by Elma
Noble Beatrice Clark, Mildred
Dishman and Fay Bussett.
Prineville is indeed fortunate to
have the services of an instructor
of the ability of Mr. Hill.
Jail Birds Fly the
Coop; Soon Caught
Floyd Hill and Bob Wahner two
young men who have been boarding
it the county bastile for some, time
succeeded in cutting a bar in the
jail Thursday night and escaped.
The delivery was discovered at
an early hour and Sheriff Knox and
deputy Rowell commenced at once
to scour the country for the prison
ers. It was discovered that they
started east into the mountains and
the trail followed as far as the car
could be taken after which the
machine was abandoned and the
oncers followed on foot until the
jail breakers were appnhonded in
Wheeler county, about four o'clock
Sunday afternoon.
They were returned tothe jail on
Monday evening. Each of the men
is wanted for forgery, but it is now
possible that one or both of them
will be tried for jail breaking.
Miss Mary Swift left this morning-for
Mitchel on receipt of news
of her brothers illness.
AS GOOD AS
'A CHEW OF
i.' "SPEARHEAD'
That Means the Supreme D-
gree of Rich, Luscious
1A. Tobacco Flavor
HO OTHER CHCW EQUALS IT
Nature varies the flavor she puts into
the different grades of tobacco leaf
and the best of all is the flavor of
choice red Burley that pleases you so
mightily when you chew Spear Head.
The delicious fruity flavor of a chew
of Spear Head is a revelation to the
man who has never chewed or who has
been chewing near-gor,d tobacco.
For chewing is the one way to get
all the wholesome, healthful, appetizing
flavor of the tobacco leaf providing
you1 chew a high-grade plug like Spear
Head;
No other tobacco can compare with
Spear Head in the wholesome satisfao
tion it gives.
You get more savory sweetness in a
chew of. Spear Head than in a whole
lug of ordinary tobacco.
And you get it in its purest form
-ror. Spear Head is made amid the most
wholesome surroundings, in a great,
new factory that's kept absolutely
clean and sanitary.
Try this rich, mellow, satisfying, pure
chew. Such a chew cannot be obtained
in .my other tobacco than Spear Head,
la iOc cuts, wrapped in wax paper,
am indeed, glad to have this in
formation. No step that your or
ganized farmers might take will
result in more permanent good than
the creation of this body'. Counties
all over the country are now and
have been deriving great benefit
from the existence of an organiza
tion of this kind which represents
the agricultural interest of the
county. They are not always called
an Agricultural Council but the pur
pose and function is the same and
the name, therefore, makes no
difference.
"Your people may be interested
in knowing that Lane, Yamhill.
Wasco, Multnomah and Malheur
counties, have already taken this
forward step. In Lane county
where the Council has been organ
ized longest, they have, with the
assistance of their County Agri
cultural Agent, been able to ac
complish many things of importance
including the organization of a
public market, in the city of Eu
gene, the building up of an ex
tension system of co-operative hog
marketing which has saved the
farmers of the county several thou
sand dollars since it was first start
ed last October; the fostering of
egg circle work, of cow testing
work, of drainage work, of 'good
roads work and the reorganization
of the County Fair to make it more
truly a farmers' fair; all ''these
things have deceived the attention
of the Lane County Agricultural
Council irt the short time that it
has been in existence.
The secretary of each of the com
munity organizations in the county
have been asked to state at what
time their delegate can best attend
a meeting for the purpose of or
ganizing the Agricultural Council
for Crook County. This meeting
will probably be held within the
next month and we hope that not
only the present active communities
but also many newly organized
communities Will be represented at
this meeting. Any desired infor
mation may be obtained by writing

COUNCIL HOLDS ITS
BEND TO HAVE A
yy
An 'ordinance is being drafted by
city attorney, H. H. DeArmond of
Bend that provides for the prohibi
tion of the sale of alcohol by drug
gists of -that city.
The law as it exists at present,
permits anyone to buy pure alcohol
by making an affidavit that it is for
external use. This is the only real
leak in the presenl dry law, and an
ordinance that provides that a few
drops of some substance that will
only benefit the pure article for
use as a liniment, and will render
it unfit for drinking purposes is the
purpose of Mr. De Armond in this
matter.
It will solve the problem, and will
no doubt be copied in other cities
of the 6tate. It is to be hoped also
that some such measure will be
adopted at th : next session of the
legislature.
The Bend b ling team will play
here Saturd.; .
Dakota, six; South Dakota, six; practice will put the local team in
Montana, six; Washington, three; positi:n to win over all comers, yet
Oregon two; Idaho, three. One
hundred and thirty-six Silver and
" Gdldyn Bronze" loving cups will
be awarded as prizes. Competition
will be divided into a men's and
boy's class, and is confined to dis
tricts only, there being no compe
tition between states or between
districts.
The geographical divisions for
the two districts in Oregon are as
follows: District No. 1- Counties
of Hood River, Wasco, Sherman,
Gilliam, Morrow, Umatilla, Union,
Wallowa, Baker. Grant, Wheeler,
Crook, Malheur, Harney, Lake,
Klamath and Jefferson.
District No. 2- Counties of Clat
sop, Columbia, Tillamook, Washing-
ton, Multnomah, Clackamas, Yam-1
hill. Polk, Marion, Lincoln, Benton,
Linn, Douglas, Coos, Curry, Jo
sephine, Jai-kson and Lane.
Four prizes will be awarded in
each district of each state, a first
and second prize for men and a
first and second prize for boys,
trophies for the iatter to be of like
design and equal in value to those
awarded the adult exhibitors.
Each exhibit must consist of ten
ears of any variety of Indian Corn
raised by contestant in a field of
one or more acres, but not less than
one acre. No fee will be charged
for entry of exhibits. The total
value of prizes will be $.'000. '
A judge of recognized standing
will make awards at the show arid
in so doing will judge exhibits by
what he considers to be a recog
nized standard for any variety of
corn raised in that particular dis
trict. Average size, productive
ness, breed type and general ap
pearance will be the governing fac
tors. Exhibits will be returned in
every case where contestants re
quest that this be done at the time
of making entry.
"Corn and Cattle Contribute
Capita! for Bigger Bank Balance."
is the slogan that has been adopted
by the First National Bank and the
Northwestern Trust Company of
St. Paul and Bankers of the North
west, in the promotion of their
Corn Shows. Increased interest in
corn production means the ultimate
raising and maintenance of more
livestock and diversification in
farming methods, to the financial
advantage and prosperity of the
entire Northwest.
