State Officer Churchill after a trip thru Eastern Oregon says that losses reaching into millions of dollars and involving hundreds of thousands of head of stock will result. The inability of many stockmen to buy hay at any price and with bank credits exhaust ed have brought about a condition bound to result in loss by starvation of hundreds of thousands of head of stock in the next few months." What a condition for a nation with all the gold of the world piled up In its vaults. The Federal Reverve li quidated the farmer into the agonies of hell. Today his credit at the bank not only shuts him off from hay for his stock but food for his children. When all else has gone does a na tion or state recognize the credit in character. Should a nation or state lift a hand for a dying industry that spells economic loss in the future? Why should a Federal Reserve board deny the seating of a farmer as a member? Why does the Federal Re serve board build a twenty four mil lion money temple on Wall Street when the Western Plains are litter ed with dying cattle and sheep? Washington representatives and state officials what of the present and the future of your state?

At this meet ing a number of matters in regard to bee keeping were taken up, especially the matter of prevention of disease among bees and revision of legisla tion regulating bee raising and con trol of bee diseases. The State pro duces from 3,000,000 to 6,000,000, pounds of honey a year, and diseases among bees are the cause of great losses. A fund was set aside for the Miller Memorial in honor of one of the greatest beekeepers and bee workers.

COLD WEATHER HAS NO TERROR FOR MORROW AND UMATILLA CANDIDATES Reports Indicate that fruit trees were frozen, some beyond recall, dur ing the past cold snap. Political plums, however, seem to have been untouched by the frost, but not beyond recall, perhaps. At any rate the candidates were not chilled in their ardor for offices. The ring is getting all cluttered up with hats. E. P. Dodd has shied his top piece into the circle and comes out for joint representative from Umatilla and Morrow counties, since C. E. Woodson has declared he will not run again. Mr. Dodd was a mem ber of the 1919 regular session and the 1920 special session, and feels that on account of his experience he can ably fill the job. He tells us that he wants the job so that the irrigated sections of these two counties may be well represent ed, Mr. Dodd being the founder of the city of Boardman on the West Extension of the Umatilla project in Morrow county, and owning and farming irrigated land near Hermis ton in Umatilla county. He will work for the McKay creek dim above all else, he says. If the irrigated sections grow so will the stock In dustry, for the stockman wants alfalfa for feed for the cattle and sheep. But Mr. Dodd will have several rivals. Dr. J. Perry Conder of Hep pner, has announced his candidacy in this weeks issue, and the Heppner SPRING HAS CAME? At last after the longest stretch of winter weather in a score or more of years, it is chlnooking today. Hold your breath. uncie Mi Poem THE HOME MERCHANT Mid pleasures and palaces though I may wend, I find the home merchant a much-valued friend. . . . The mail-order catalogue woos me in vain, for to pay-without-seeing may bring me a pain. . . . The home merchant credits till pay-day arrives, he knows all the whims of his friends and their wives. His overalls wear like the busk-skin of old, his buttons ain't brass if he tells you they're gold ! Of every community he is a part, and even the kids know the path to his heart. He boosts for the chapel, the lodge and the school, "Community uplift" is ever his rule. . . . And even the foot ball and basket ball teams, look kindly on him, in their athletic dreams. . . . . I'd rather have him at my elbow each day, than to deal ith a shark, many furlongs away. . . . Let's make the thing mutual, and stand by our friend, there's no place tike home, for the money we spend. Herald says: "On Friday it became known that friends of E. M. Hulden were urging him to become a candidate for rep resentative and it seems to be gener ally understood that he will have strong support from the farming in terests. Mr. Hulden is an extensive wheat farmer in the Blackhorse dis trict." Frank Sloan has made) no an nouncement as to whether he will again he a candidate for representa tive from Umatilla county or not, but he is being urged to again make the race on account of his experience and capability. George Bleakman of Hardman, present incumbent, has announced hit candidacy for re-election as com missioner, and Ralph Bongo, a re tired rancher living in Heppner, may come out for the nomination. Boardman and Irrlgon have grown to sufficient size to be entitled to a commissioner, but the republicans have put up no one thus far. Mayor G. C. Blayden has been urged to become a candidate and may decide to do so. While Mr. Blayden is a democrat, we know of no one who could so ably represent Boardman's interests., He Is the mayor of the city, U. S. Land Com missioner, and well posted on public matters. He knows the needs of the north end of the county and the Mir ror will be with him heartily if he decides to run.
