EARLY LAMBS WILL BRING GOOD PRICES June Prices Average Better Than for Yea July Prices Good Activity in wool at paying prices has given some stimulation to pur chasers of lambs. It is figured that early lambs are likely to continue to bring a high price on mid-western markets. Factors favorable to this prophecy are high priced beef and veal, high pelt prices, short croo of early lamb, and generally excellent business conditions. Some early Oregon lambs have gone out of Heppner, hitting a 19 market in Chicago. Within the next thirty daya Oregon' lamb, will be e-o- Ing out In more plentiful' numbers j but the reason's shipment of June'0' "Kh1, 0n quiet man who and.

MAUPIN, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 14, 1928 Why Not GiveHedin the Coveted State Senatorship (An Editorial) The names of Henry Kuck and Newton G. Hedln are the two out standing ones for the nomination of state senator from the 16th dis trict of Oregon up for consideration ,i . , ' -.. before the nominating committee of the district. One is a Dalle, man, the other from the couthern end of Wasco county. Both .r !,-, , . ........... over the district: both are rpnprtni ; One i ready and able to retire; the other still in the harness and full . . . . has little to say at any public gath ering; the other is a - leader, a pioneer, a campaigner, a recogniz ed dehator. When we think in term of money we think of Kuck; when we think of leadership and 1 when we thi"k of leadership and ah ill. il ..i. e ; "v,Mt we oi neain. If Wasco and Hood River coun- ties want a scnafbr who represents activity and who I- fully equipped ' "l"TI'" by nature and experience, they need .. . j e dobatorT the speaker, thi scrapper, the man in -harness. If our water pipes are out of order we get a plumber to fix them, a me chanic to repair cars, a banker to handle money. If we want a real reprcentative in the legislature at Salem we should use common naa and Judgment and choo e of these two good men the one who U the better equipjped to handle the af fairs of the district and who would oppose all measures that tend ft'nt the best Interest of the G. itate. That man is Newtpn By BEN 1IUR LAMPMAN, Portland, Oregon. AFTEN I try to remember fragments of thing-, V As how many days has November, and namea of kings, And measures for corn and barley, anf hay in the rtack But alway, they will elude me and svon't come back. -But always they will elude men and won't come back. That which'l learn for tomorrow is quite forgotten today As a mist that meet; a breeze and is driven away. How strange I should remember, for many and many a June, The lilt and the running laughter of an old tune. When I open a book to follow the way a scholar should, Fleet ag a glancing swallow my heart is off to the wood; The lines are dim before me and have" no meaning, while I stand in a lane by the river, at the end of a country mile. There is wind on the water, and a sprinkle of dancing rain, And I am so glad within me that the joy of it hurts like pain I have closed the book without knowing what it i8 all about: But well, so well, I remember the glint of a leaping trout So I have given it over, and am minded not to try Ever again to recover such matters as when and why, And how many day, has November, and names of kings. And any number of other very important thing:. It seem I must be content with trivial memories, quite Like one I have of the star'a on a windless winter night, Or one of a golden wave on a acre I'd sown to grain And how could 1 Jbe forgetting the whisper that heralds rain? The be t of a sorry bargain yet in my heart I am glad, For I have kept each picture that I have ever had I've but to dream for a moment, and so in a moment to be Dazed with a wind from ocean and filled with a sight of the sea, But to reflect for a moment, and then to stand in the rain, Silver rain by the river, where the bright trout leap again; For I could never remember the rules that are found in books; But how could I be forgetting the way that a runset looks?
