The Maupia Times Published every Friday at Maapin, Oregon J. E. D i SB row, Publisher Subscription: One year, $1.50; six months, 75 cents; three months, 50 Entered as second class mail matter September '2, 1914, at the postoffice at Maupin, Oregon, un der the Act of March 3, 1879. CORRESPONDENTS This issue of the Times com pletes its first year since commenc ing the Correspondents' Contest method of getting local news from each section of this part of the Countv, and we believe it has been a very satisfactory affair to all con cerned, in a reportorial way at least. ' , , one year age- we stated we would make payments of $6, $4, $2, $1, respectively to Correspondents who would write the news of their sev eral localities and send It to the Times in proportion to their rela tive regularity, punctuality, newsi ness and general Interest in the paper for four months. This we have renewed twice and with the next issue will opeil a tourth four niorth correspondence record and invite our present list of seven who are all in bri time this week and any other whose COmniuhities are not represented to enter upon and help us make the Times a good newsy home paper. The record of letters closing with this issue shows Wapinitia 41id Smock as having all that could be asked of a Correspondent, to their credit seventeen full, punctual letters and a number of new sub scriptions. Criterion and Wemic come Sec- bud, having appeared each thir teen times. These four will be sent checks . for the first and second amounts as soon as possible after the first bf the mouth. The other four, Tygh Valley i aud 2; and BakeOven and White River, who have uot written so many letters, will be sent checks for the last two amounts divided among them' in sum 3 of $1 each; which we trust will be a satisfac tory deoision in the matter.

There is one sufe toay to prevent this USE SALT when you stack your hay IT PAYS The Salt more than pays for itself in the weight of the hay. There is a further gain in weight through moisture held and the Btock will eat up salted hay clean where unsalted hay will be mussed over and wasted. 20 pounds of salt should be used tb each ton of hay; Stack three feet of hay, sprinkle the salt over this by hand. Then another layer of hay, more salt and so on. Experiments carried on at the Wisconsin Experi ment station indicate that salt should be supplied to dairy cows unless the ration furnishes a sufficiency thereof. It is calculated that the minimum qaanity in the food to keep a cow of 1000 lb. live weight in flour ishing health is that which is equivelant to 3-4 oz. salt per day. and that a cow in milk needs as much more as will restbre the proportion removed in the milk, namely a little over 1-2 ot- of salt for eyery 20 lb; of milk.

To the American Public: Do you believe in arbitration or indu? ' trial warfare? The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service your service. This army of employes is in the public service your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Westerh railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cent of the t train employes earried these wages ( lowest,' hifchfcst and average of all) as shown by the pay rolls Passenger Ruga Arg Ransa Areraga Ranga Avaraga 1-.
