WARNING ISSUED BY
EARN BUREAU HEAD
Because of the approaching season
for planting alfalfa and other In-
gumes, there has been a warning Is
sued by the Deschutes county Farm
Bureau to their farmers 'against the
purchase of bacteria for Inoculation
purposes from anyone but the State.
There has been considerable agi
tation In this part of the country In
this direction recently, and, for this
reason the artlclo which was printed
In a recent Issue of the bulletin is
sued from the above named source Is
being here reproduced.
There can be no question that the!
bacteria will improve the growth of j
plants of this nature the first few
years at leant, and the value may be
considerable to the farmer, but the
bureau seems to think that is is a
waatu of money to pay the price that
Is being asked for the "bugs."
The article follows;
"Beware! It has come to the no
tice of the executive committee and
the office that some of the farmers of
the county are paying exhorbltant
prices for cultures of coll bacteria
for the Inoculatlop of their alfalfa
seed and the seed of other legumes.
We therefore wish to call the aten
tlon of all who wish to Inoculate to
the fact that pure cultures of the
-same bacteria may be obtained frorq
the Agricultural College that are Just
as "refined and well bred" as any
culture obtained from any commer
cial firm. If you have fifteen acres
to Inoculate why not put $1 In your
pocket and call at the Bureau office
snd have the county agent order
your culture? You have then $29 In
your bank Instead of having added to
the profit of a private concern."

rKI.NKVUXK. CROOK VOVSTY, OREGON,
QUOTA $1,000
The coming week Is the time sot
aside for the Armenian drive In this
county. The quota for Crook Is
If). 000 and thla amount should be
quickly suliscrlbed.
Of all the charities taken up by
the people of this country, this is per
hups the ost deserving and the moU
urgently necessary as well.
Kvon though the world war Is at
an end, the assacre of helpless Ar-
mnnians continues and at this time
when we have all that we need to eat
and wear, 800,000 children are starv
ing to death In Armenia. The bugs
loss of life during the war and the
dally massacres at this tie make self
support Impossible by these tortured
people, so It is up to us.
AMERICAN LEGION TO
DISTRIBUTE CERTIFICATES
Next Sunday being Washington's
Birthday, and the events of the past
few yeans becoming faint memories
It seems most fitting and proper that
the French Government should deem
It expedient that the engraved certi

nearest relative of every American
who made the supreme sacrifice dur
ing the recent war should be present
ed on that day.
To that end. Crook County Post No.
29, American Legion, has made pre
parations for a public service to be
conducted at the Baptiat church in
I'rlnevllle next Sunday morning at
11 o'clock and special invitations
have been mailed to the nearest rel
atives of each of the eleven Crook
county boys who gave their all for
their country.
This service is to be a Memorial
Service and special music and ad
dresses will be featured and all ex
service men and the general public
will be welcome, and a large attend
ance Is expected.
The names of the Crook county
boys' on the Honor Roll are as fol
lows: Clyde Smith,
Jesse Summerfield,
Benjamin W, Hlney,
Lloyd I). Cantrill,
Thomas O'Kelly,
' Helmer Mattson,
Elmer Houston,

Issued to all ex-service men who were

V - -ATTEND AUTO SHOW
Some idea of the size of the big
automobile show to be held p Port
land the entire week of February 23
to 28, may be gained from the fact
that the Ice Palace, where the motor
ear part of the show will be held, is
the largest show room on a single
floor In the United States. It is 360
by 130 feet without a single post to
obstruct the view, and gives more
space than Is available for cars even
on the main floor of the huge Colise
um Building in Chicago, which is 300
by 120 feet in size. In all 69 differ
ent makes of passenger cars will be
on display, and 176 different models i
of these makes.
Still another feature of the Port
land show is the truck show, held in
connection with it. For the first
time on the Pacific Coast, a show will
be devoted exclusively to trucks.
Thn truck aeetinn of the show will
! be held in the Portland Armory, only
n few hlncks from thn Ice Palace, and
one ticket will admit the bearer to
both shows without additional cost,
.There will be 50 different makes of
trucks on display, and approximately
100 different models.
Several local dealers will be pres
ent at the show. Henry Howard of
the Inland Auto Co., will go as the
guest of the Howard Auto Co. R. W,
Douglas, also of the Inland Company,
will attend as a guest of the Willy
Overland Co. L. A. Newell of the

PP.INEVILLE WINS FROM MADRAS
Crook County High School were
the winners in a hard fought basket
ball game on the local floor last Fri
day night when the Madras team
came to town tor a return game with
Prineville. In the preliminary prac
tice Madras seemed to have the best
basket shooters and their players
were much larger than the local men,
and they scored first when a basket
was thrown by Young. However, at
the end of the first half several bas
kets were thrown in quick succession
by Miller, Smith, and Mills, and the
score stood 14 to 6 in favor of Prine
ville. During the first part of the sec
ond halt the Prineville local team
gained rapidly on the Madras quintet
but toward the end of the half the
visitors got the ball through a mis
understanding on the part of one of
the local players and made several
baskets in quick succession and the
Prineville lead as shown by the score
at the end of the first half was lessen
ed one point when time was up.
The local team showed the best
playing during this game, of the seas
on, and Madras' opinion at the end of
the first half was that Prineville had
its goat. During all games in -which
Prineville has engaged, the spirit of
' optimism confidence that Prinevllle
will surely win in spite of all, is prev
alent, and is one of the reasons wh
Prineville shows up so well in all of
its games. The line-up and individ
ual scores for the game was as fol
lows:
Prineville
f. Smith (4)
f. O. Miller (11)
c. O. Mills (6)
g. Wright
Madras
f. J. Young (91
f. Gard (8)
c. R. Young
g. Crosswhite
g. Horigan
g. Stangland
In the. Inst half Rosenberg substi
tuted for Miller for Prineville and
Johnson substituted for Stangland
for Madras, who was removed from
the game on account of four personal
fouls charged against hira.
This victory for Prineville makes a
tie thus far between Crook County
High and Madras High, as each team
has won and lost the same number of
games. Each team has yet to play
Bend and Redmond on their home
flooor. This game is the last sched
uled game for Prineville on the local
floor.
Blfl -BALLOON DANCE FRIDAY

morning.
DR. J. W. MAC COLLUM
T
Roy Anderson threw Alex the Finn
Tuesday evening at the Athletic club
hall in this city after one hour and
l.ix minutes on the mat, and took a
second fall from the visitor in Just 17
minutes thus winning the bout. All
toe holds were barred in the event.
'The first fall was secured for An
derson when he succeeded In getting
the visitor in a three-quarters bar
lock, and the second was on an army
twist.
Anderson was clearly the best man,
and at no time after the first twenty
minutes did the Finn worry him. al
though the visitor was clearly doing
his best in that direction.
Because of the rearrangement of
the mat the replacing of the seats
caused some confusion, which will be
eliminated in the future. '
Arrangements are being made for
a match with the Hindu during the
spring, after which, if Anderson suc
ceeds in throwing him', a champion
ship contest between Anderson and
Ted Thye will be arranged.
