Entered as second class mail mat ter September 8, 1914, at the post office at Maupin, Oreon, undr .the Act of March8, 1879. COOLING-OFF TIME As usual, the period just follow ing preaidental nominating con ventions is marked by mutterings from those who are dissatisfied with either the platform or candidates of their respective parties. Third Darty movements are threatened and disgruntled give out voluminous interviews airing their frrievances. Sometimes a third nartv really appears in some strength but only once since the Civil War has such a party cdanircd the normal station result. That was in 1912, when revolt of thp rrotfYessives un der Roo. x-velt, caused the election .of Wilson. This year the same talk is heard as of old. In some sections of the middle West a revolt of Republican farmers against Hoover is predicted for November. In the South a rather rtofcy group of Democrats are de nouncing Smith. But with fall will come a cooling off time, and the rank and file will doubtless become reconciled to a large extent and when they go to the polls in November most of them will vote as they have alway9 voted for the party to which they nor mally belong. Folks are like that : Dr. Clarke in Maupin Monday July IS, at the Home hotel. Wheat Coming In ' Several ranchers living on Juni per Flat, have begun to harvest and are sending their wheat to Maupin. Nearly all arriving at the warehouses so far has been loose. The wheat is uniformly clean and shows large plump berries. . Semewhat Hot - Wadnesdav was one of the hot test days of the season, the thermom eter ftanding at 105 degrees in the shade at 2 :00 o'clock. Tuesday was plenty hot but the next day beat it a thousands ways. Getting Sheep Killer E. T. Halbrook,' predatory animal hunter, formerly stationed at Mau pin, now at Duf ur, made a good ' Tecord for June. He is credited in .the bulletin sent out by his depart ment with 16 coyotes for the month, they being two' adultg and 14 pupr. .A total of 116 predatory animals aere reported in for tfie month by .13 hunters in southern and eastern, Oregon counties. During the past fiscal year Halbrook has killed a to tal of 103 animals, and R. C. Ful - kerson, now working thb section, has a toal of 185 such. ' '. Poor Roada Expensive Recently conducted experiments show that bad roads cost the motor iat8 the equivalent of a tax of 22.3 cents on every gallon of gasoline u ed. This figure is reached by the assumption that a car makes 10 . miles to the gallon on poor roads. On a basis of a speed of 33 miles per hour, tests in several state showed the cost of gasoline and tires per thousand miles over a rough -. road used in experiments was $35.10 for an average four-cylinder car ' loaded. The cost for the same car running at the same speed over a smooth highway was shown to be only $12.80. What better argument can there be for improving highways as fast . as funds can be made available? Road oils are constantly playing t more important part in transforming 1 thousands of milSs of unsatisfactory roads into modern serviceable high ways. A Contribute to Life A news item dated at Johannes burg says that "an American made factor of the crawler type sold lts , self to South African road builders during a demonstration here recent ly by drawing a ' scarifier which plowed road surfaces to a depth of 16 inches. Its speed and effective ness impressed municipal officers." American labor-saving and ef f i-eiencv-incrcasing machines and methods are penetrating to all parts of the world, whether it be South Africa, China or the Argentine. This is one of America's greatest contri butous to international life.

INTERESTING NOTES What is believed to be the oldest clock in the world was wrought in A. D. 1439 by an unknown artisan st the court of Philip the Good of Burgundy. A lobster frequently changes not only its shell but aLo its bones, teeth and a portion of its stomach which is plated with a boney sub stance.
