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." YOUNG COUPLE AVER Edward S.

PRI NEVILLE DEALERS TO 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.

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 Prineville dancers are to see a new novelty In the way of dances In the big Balloon Dance to be given at the Club Hall Friday evening, February 27.

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.
