But a condition of laggardne.ss or carelessness seems to have obtained control of many. They allow their obligations to go by de fault, not seeming to care whether their bills are paid or not Local merchants have carried, and are still carrying many ranchers. The accounts receivable run into the thousands and are increasing. Some people who have agreed to meet their payments every thirty days are for-! getful and allow their promise to pay to sound as like a sick oyster in a clam bed. One Maupin merchant, who 6ent out statements to the amount of $4,000 last month, was paid but $400.00 of the total. Merchants must pay for their goods. They are liable to an interest charge if their accounts run over a specified time, and at that but few of them exact interest from their de linquents. The only way to keep up credit is to pay up. Do that and all will be happy and prosperous. from under. Eastern territory employes recent ly received a boost in wages aggre gating 7tt. That raise was granted on the plea that trains were longer.

It also may he followed with success in business matters; When a man is thinking of embark ing in business, buying property, livestock or entering .some other line of enedavor, he usually consults someone with a knowlege of that bust-' ness in order to learn the ins and outs of it, and the one to whom he most always goes is his own town banker.

NOTES FROM MAUPIN SCHOOLS The dabate sqaud at the High school is working diligently in antici pation of next Tuesday, February 15. On that day our High school is to meet the Prineville High and either Hood River or The Dalles High school in a triangular debate. Which team will come here and to which town we will send a team has not yet been determined. It is suf ficient to know that Maupin High school is to compete with larger high schools. Earnest work is be high schools. Earnest work is be-ing ing done, and if the teams from here do not win, at least the exper ience is going to be worth a great deal to them. 1 Also in athletics, Maupin High school has a chance to gain a name. The school has a winning basktball team this season: The game last Friday evening with Grass Valley showed that Maupin's quintet plays for the team and the school, and not each man for himself. Quick, accu rate passing was done, which is much more to the credit of the team than is mere physical brawn. The local team is meeting Grass Valley again next Wednesday, February 16, this time at Grass Valley. Games are also scheduled with Mosier and Dufur. Much encouragement came to the High school Wenesday morning thru a letter inviting a team from here to the basketball tournament to be held in Portland March 3, 4 and C. Tbii contest will be held under the ays pices of the Telegram, and the net proceeds from the door receipts will be divided among the different schools participating, in proportion to the distance which they traveled to Portland. Whether the local team will go will be carefully considered. Hipo tomatoes have been harvested from greenhouses by the Oregon ex periment station, since early in Oc tober, reports the vegetable garden ing department of the state college. There will probably be no more pick ings after the middle of February. This hns been the first winter season In the history of the greenhouse man agement at the college, that fruit hns been picked over such a long period. The yield hns been good and the price has been profitable. The price for the last month was 40 cents a pound.

Handling bees in cold weather excites them and thus raises the temperature of the colony. This sometimes results in premature brood rearing which is very undesirable. Peach'leaf curl is controlled in Oregon by applying a bordeaux spray of 6-6-50 strength in January and early February says the plant path ologist of the experiment station. Later spray applications give poor control. Lime-sulphur sometimes pro duces good results, but bordeaux has been proved the most reliable material.
