Grand Jury Reports JJindings To Circuit Judge Wilson To Hon. F. W. Wilon, Circuit Judge: We, the Grand Jury of Wasco County, Oregon, convened by your order on May 21, 1928, respectfully report that we have been in . ses sion continuously four days, and have considered all criminal maattors coming to our attention. We have returned nine truo bill, and ne not true bills, and have interviewed in nil thirty-' even witnesses. , We have also heard testimony in relation to a school row in the Shell rock School District, and without going over the testimony we have come to the conclusion that the wife of the Chairman of the School Board was guilty of most Unladylike con duct, and apparently did about all in her power to break up the school discipline. The facts hardly justify and indictment, and we therefore are for the present passing the matter over. We also have briefly considered two other cases iut can find no evi dence of any criminality, and there fore pa-g them 'without mention. Considerable of our time has been used in interviewing divers young fellows and girl9 who have of recent months participated , In mixed par ties, usually starting off with drink in of liquor.

' PACE, LINE AND PARAGRAPH A Onco-A-Weok Service to Weeklies And Semi-Weeklies There is one motor vehicle for every-5.13 perrons in the United State, according to information com piled by the Bureau of Public roads. U. S. department of agriculture. Registration, of motor, vehicles has increased enormoudy in the . past three years, and last year more than 23,000,000 motor vehicles were reg istered, the numbers in the different states ranging all the way from 25. 776 in Nevada to 1,937,918 in New York state.

If fresh Bkim milk is not easily available for the dairy calf, dry dry skim milk, if fresh and whole- :ome and propertly mixed with wa ter so that it is of the aame composi tion, makes a good tubtitute for freh skim milk. One part of the dried milk should be mixed with 9 parts of warm water. In preparing it, mix the dried milk with an equal amount of water, ttir it thoroughly to make it rmooth, and then add the . rest of the water. This feed should always be mixed in the same proper- lion and chould be ftd at a tempera-! ture of about 100 degrees, F. Pointer On Painting Spring is a good time of the year to paint farm buildings and imple ments. Not only does paint im prove the appearance to building, but it protects them from weather and is the cheapest way of keeping them in good shape. Painting should not be delayed oo long, if wood has be gun to rot or iron to rust,, the deter ioration will continue even after the paint has been applied. Outside painting rhould be done when the surfaces to be painted are dry and the weather is not too damp or cold. Buildings should be painted every three to five years, sometimes often er than this. New wooden buildings should be given a priming coat of paint as soon as possible and a fin ishing coat within the next month or two. Before exposure to the weather or to dampness, both the wooden and metal parts of farm implements and machinery should be. painted. When painting outside surfaces ,two or three thin coats are better than one thick coat The U. S. Department of i Airriculture in - Farmers Bulletin 1452-F gives detailed' information on paints and painting. The combined harvester-thresher Is making its way eastward. Suc cssful in California for many years, the combine ha given general satis faction in harvesting wheat 'in the Great Plains region. - The . combines cut down the cost o; harvesting and thre: hing, they reduce the amount of labor needed, and shorten the har vest and threshing period. Combines I nnf Vis pirnoptpd t.n make tha success . in the mout, eastern state that they have in the semi-arid wetern wheat-growing regions. How ever, a farmer who has a big acre age of crops to be harvested, or who can use his combine on neighboring farms, may find the machine a profitable investment Indications are that the combine will be used in many sections of the east in the next few years. 1 i Drainage Makes 4 the Cellar Dry Republican Committee to Choose Candidate for State Senator Chairman 'of Nominating Committee Ask Catkorlaf at The Dalles , Nominate .

Where .the presence of trees or thrubbery or the cost of excavation makes it inadvisable to lay a drain pipe outside the founda tion, the drain is frequently laid along the inride bottom of the wall. A drain thus located generally re moves water presure from the cellar floor but is not as effective as an outside drain for preventing the en trance of seepage .and dampnes". from the' earth back of, the wall. Cellars are sometimes' made water tight by the application of cement coats or overlapping layers of water proofing felt coated and cemented together with hot asphalt.1" Work of this kind should be done only upon well prepared surfaces and under favorable climate conditions. It la advisable, wherever possible, to em ploy men skilled in the kind of work that is to be done. , The ure of cod liver oil in the feeding of livestock has increased its demand to such a degree that im ports lat year exceeded 2,600,000 gallons, valued at nearly $2,000,000.
