We do not believe that there ig a single business man or merchant In1 Prineville who. is buying printing j from Portland houses or other print ing establishments than their own Prineville printshops, except blank books and special forms. There is but one excuse for such practice, and that is the inability to get as good service at home.

Graves, Los Angeles branch mana- manship and circulation are all fac-!rer of the Ford conPany. Howev tors the advertiser has a rieht to ' er' her is the on tnt Mr. Graves consider when he buys space, and the majority of them are not fooled on these points for long. Concerning the ads of Bend mer chants in the Journal, we have only to say that these have come to us by believes is the best one he has re ceived recently and may be of use to land owners, ranchers and farm ers. This particular story comes from A. J. Montgomery, a western Ford owner, and he tells the follow- mail from time to time unsolicited, ,ng use to whicn he Put nls ft&- as the out of town merchants are nt aware of the existence of any paper here other than the Journal, If any Prineville merchant objects to the acceptance of such business by the Journal he has neglected to mention it to any member of the force Prices and service in the Prineville stores is such that they do not fear competition of the above nature. Criticism or abuse of the local business houses is poor business at any time, and especially under pres ent conditions, for as a class these people know their business, and they are the salt of the earth, the back bone of the community, the people wfio" pack its burdens in a largo measure". . .- Every call for charity, every mote for the betterment of the communi ty, every action that tends to pro mote the good of this town and its surrounding country, fall first and heaviest on the local business houe- eg. the heads of which, through fit teen years intimate association we have found to be true and loyal to the core. Any stranger who presumes to in form any of these people in the me thod of running their business Is either a very wise man, or a not a very wise man. - ECONOMIZE There is going to be a readjust ment of prices and wages it may take a year or two years to reach the bottom. The inflation of values caused by the world war is going to be follow ed by a deflation until readjustment to a normal basis is completed. To avert a panic the era of extrav agance and high prices must be met by Inaugurating an era of economy by everybody. "I want to tell you of a new use we are making of your Ford car in this country. Fighting grashoppers with poison was too slow and labor ious so we had a trough of sheet iron made ten and a half feet long, fourteen inches wide and six inches deep, with several divisions in It, and we hung a trough in front of the car by swinging two twelve-inch scantlings under the axle, letting them extend put in front so there is room .to crank the car and steer it. On the back of the trough is a wire for a backstop. One evening after the hoppers went to sleep, we caught ten bushels or them. We would get the trough nearly full every trip around the six acres of meadow, and we are going to go through our wheat field in the tame manner. Our neighbor, Etz corn, got twenty bushels off his wheat through this method. C. O. I. HOLDINGS TO BE SOLD On Riggs, the authorization of J. A. president of the directors of the Central Oregon Irrigation dis trict, Harrison Allen and John La tourette of Portland, associates of DeArmond & Erskine of Bend, at torneys for the district, are drawing up a contract for the sale of the C. O. I. holdings to the settlers. The contract calls for a consideration of $100,000, representing the terms agreed on by attorneys for the dis trict and the company as the result of negotiations covering several months. With the completion of the contract, the next step will be a district election for the ratification of the agreement and the voting of bonds sufficient to cover the trans action. The amount, it has been stated by a director of the district, will probably reach $200,000. ' 80 ACRES H MILES'- FROM PRINEVILLE, UNDER THE DITCH. FINE SOIL.

Litigation, starting early last year, preventing the sale of additional wa ter rights by the company, and blocking the move to raise mainten ance rates, has been an important factor in bringing about the agree ment on which the contract is being based. By- the agreement reached be tween the attorneys for the company and the district, and submitted to the settlers at last Monday's meet ing in Redmond, the company is ready to relinquish all control of the Irrigation system, in c 1 u d I n g the north canal dam. It is provided, however, that the company, should it obtain capital and develop the North canal project, may be permit ted to use the canal Jointly with the settlers to carry water to this acre age. Should the offer be accepted, the company will turn over to the set tlers between 4500 and 6000 acres of reclaimed land. Two acre feet of water will be available for the use of the settlers when the control of the present company holding passes Into their hands. Little Bobby had been learning hit Sunday-school lesson and was very much impressed with the idea of tie omnipresence of God. A few nights later his mother asked him to bring her a bottle of milk from the back porch. "Me can't," Bobby demurred. "All dark out there." "But you're not afraid to go any where, Bobby," she reassured. "You know God won't "let anything hurt you." "Is God out there on the porch in the dark?" queried Bobby. "Certainly he is. Didn't you learn that God was everywhere?" Cautiously Bobby opened the door a few inches and, peering out, called "God, will you please hand me that! J milk-bottle off the table out there?"
