BURNS, HARNEY COUNTY, OREGON, MAY 11, 1918 VOL. XXXI NO. 28 m)Mw vWVJ - ' - . I I WE ALMOST DOUBLE LIBERTY BOND QUOTA Actnal Figures Not Obtainable. Each Community Credited a Soon as Compilation is Made. RED CROSS MEETING NKXT TUESDAY. While It Is not definitely known the exact amount suseribed to the Third Liberty Bonds In Harney ounty. because both the Manager Donegan and his secretary, Wm, Farre, are out of town. It appears that Harney County has almost doubled its quota toward the .sub scriptions for the Third Bonds. On 'last Saturday afternoon. Just after The Tlmea-Herald had none to press Mr. Donegan and Mr. Farre an nounced that the banks had reported subscriptions to the amount of $18?. 800.00 and that there were 1148 suscrlbers, but since that delayed mails have brought in quite an addi tion to this amount and It Is evident that the amount totals nearly $210, 000. Harney County's quota was fixed at $110,000 and this amount was reached almost the first day of the campaign but solicitors continued their field work and every individu al in the county had an opportunity to subscribe and the response was most gratifying. The organization preceding the drive was a feature to ward its success and the splendid support given by Mr. Donegan and all those taking an active part made the task easy as compared to former war measure campaigns. This splendid organization and support will be ex t.;nded during the entire period of the war as the several committees appointed were for all war measures tpd the same people will take an ac tive part in each community In the coming Red Cross Drive. Mr. Donegan is absent at the P Ranch on some business and Mr. Karre was summoned to 1'ortland early this week to attend as a witness in a case before the Federal Court, therefore The Times-Herald is not able to give a more detailed account of the result of the Liberty Bend Campaign. It is the Intention to give the several communities credit for the amounts subscribed, together with the names of subsclbers but this cannot be done In the absence of these gentlemen. It is gratifying to note the success of these war measures as they ceme from time to time. We must do our part in every way possible. Every loyal citizen of Harney la ready. We are going to use substitutes, when we an get them, for flour and will go the limit in cash contributions to any war fund asked by Uncle Sam. We are sending our boys, too. as oc casion demands, and have more to follow. The following letter of apprecia tion has been received: Mr James Donegan, Chairman Harney County Liberty Loan Com. Hums, Oregon. Dear Mr. Denegan: on behalf of the State Executive Committee of the Third Liberty Loan and the Bute Executive Manager Is entirely fitting that I should convoy to you the sincere gratification we have felt at the magnificent result which was attained by the State of Oregon in winning the first National Honor Flag. The excellent manner in which the campaign was handled in your coun ty in itself a tribute to the patriotic ardor of yourself, your sub-chairmen and your co-workers who labored so earnestly and effectively to make the campaign a success. While none of us has worked for a reward, or for u public expression of appreciation for a patriotic duty well done, it Is nevertheless the wish of the Execu tive Committee that every volunteer WorkfT ID Die Stale should under stand how commendable his work lias been. 1 take pleasure in em losing here with copy of a message to all Hie volunteer workers which I have re - iveil from Mr. Qaorga K.

Secretary gf the Treasury McAdoo has made the following special appeal to the farmers of the nation to get behind the War Saving Stamps cam paign : "It Is a matter of supreme national Importance that the Treasury of the United States shall be supplied at all times with the amount of money needed to furnish the food, the cloth ing, the guns, the ammunition re quired by our soldiers to fight suc cessfully for the safety and liberty of America. To pay the allowances made by the government to the de pendent wives and children of these soldiers and to pay the life Insurance which the government permits every soldier to buy from it, the Treasury must also have the necessary money to extend credit to the valiant Brit ons, Belgians, French and Italians who are fighting alongside American soldiers on tho bloody battle fields of France, Belgian and Italy. If the American people fall to lend their money to their government for these noble purposes, how can we gain a victory in this glorious cause? Every one who can help by lending their money to the government. They do not make a gift of their money, they merely lend It on Impregnable securi ty and are paid Interest on the loan at the same time. "The farmers of the nation can render genuinely patriotic service by lending all the money they can to their government and encouraging everybody else to do tho same. It makes no difference how small the loan. It will be helpful. Those who an buy 'only Thrift Stamps should buy Thrift Stamps. Those who can buy only War Savings Stamps should buy War Savings Stamps. "The government has now put these loans in such convenient form that there is no citizen In the land who can not help to some extent if he Is patriotic enough to do so. "The farmers are already perform ing patriotic service of the highest value In raising the foodstuffs need ed by our own military forces and civilian populations of the great nations associated with us, but they have a further duty to perform. Tbey should Invest all their available mon ey in the obligations of their gov ernment. In doing so they will not only benefit themselves by saving this money, but will be helping to de fend their liberties, their rights and their farms against the threatened aggressions of the most powerful autocratic and military government ever created "The farmers of the nation traditi onally are freedom loving people. I know that the American farmers of today are just as liberty loving as their heroic ancestors. I know that tbey will Join with other Americans of every business and profession in providing the money which will en able their government to fight to a victorious conclusion this great war for Liberty, Justice and America's acred rights." EFFECTIVE WORK POISONING GRASSHOPPERS. liOl VO PORTLAND ON FOOD CONSERVATION WORK. The Tiroes-Herald Is pleased to learn from those actively engaged In the work of extermination that the poisoning campaign against grass hoppers Is effective artd results are satisfactory. At first somo were dis couraged but later when the weather conditions Improved It was noted that the poisoning was doing Its work and the pests were dying by the mil lions. Mr. Thompson has been at work most of this week and has several volunteers to assist In mixing the poison and spreading H over Infected places. The first application was watched with Interest but was dis appointing, but upon being convinced the cold snap had something to do with It, In fact later denomatratlons proving this to be the case, renewed effort Is being put forth and the hop pers aro getting what we are prepar ing to give the "Hun." HOME (HARD INCLINED TO COM PLY WITH RHQCIREMKNTS Mrs. M. V. Dodge, county food administrator, goes to Portland nest week to be present at a conference to 1m held there during the meeting of the State Council of Defense, May 22 and 23, She had been commanded to be present at this conference and expects big results irom it. So far there has been a disposition upon the part of some to pay but little atten tion to the requests and now there Is to be a move to compel obedience. Mrs. Dodge informs Tho Times Herald that so far there has been no response to her request that wheat be turnod in and apparently no heed taken to the order that no household shall have more than 30 day supply of wheat flour on hand and that the limit Is 1 V lbs. for each person for a week. Mrs. Dodge further states that all wheat not turned In before May 16 wilt bo requisitioned without fall this Is also obligatory and must be complied with. SCHOOL CONSOLIDATION PETI TIONS SUBMITTED. Parties have been out In Poison Creek, Sage Hen and the districts up the river with petitions asking that the consolidation of these districts with tho Burns school district be sub mitted to voters of the respective districts at the annual school elec tion in June. The petitions were I readily signed by all who were ap proached in the outlying districts and were given boundary board for ac tion In the afternoon. This is a question of much Import ance to the districts named and the voters are asked to seriously consid er the matter before election time. Consolidated schools are attractive and have advantages over the one room country schools that should ap peal to all concerned. The subject wilt be discussed during the next few weeks and the points brought out. Capt. Poage Of the Home Guards received a circular recently from the acting Adjutant General of this state outlining the requirements of an or ganisation of militia companies. The matter was submitted to those who were out for drill-last night and tak en under advisement, the expression of all present was favorable to the de mands and It looks favorable to the acceptance of the regulations and a formal application being made in proper form for the designation of a company in this city. Those who did not see this circular and who are in terested, may consalt with Capt. Paoge. HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT EXEHCIHEH NKXT FRIDAY.

Tbe Times-Herald Is reliably In formed from a private source that we are almost certain of government aid In Improving the pdst roads be tween this city and Crane and also between here and Harney. We should be In readiness to take advantage of tbls good fortune and with local aid together with the county funds avail able we may secure a real road In this country. It is a pity to have the fine dirt road cut up so soon between . here and Crane this season, but tbe heavy traffic over it simply It too much for that class of road. Gravel ing these main thoroughfares during the present season will be an impor tant link in an east aud west road later.

That's going some. The writer has not had an oppor tunity to interview Mrs. Lewis since all the proceeds were in and neces sary expenses deducted but over tho phone tbe lady was bubbling over with good feeling toward the splen did aid given be committee and the liberal way the people of this vici nity patronised the undertaking. The Times-Herald published the several committees in charge of the affair In a recent Issue. They were all workers and proved the wisdom in choosing them by results. The Mother's Club should be added to the list of workers and given duo credit for the excellent manner in which they assisted in the way of the cafe teria supper, as they fed some 360 people and sent them away feeling they had a square meal During the afternoon and even ing several raffles were pulled off for articles including pigs, turkeys, cakes on a voting contest for the ugliest man or best looking woman, etc. Every booth was liberally patronized and each game had players crowding around, one of tbe roost popular be ing one to "Swat the Kaiser" which gave the player the privilege of throwng baseballs at the head of the (termini Emperor at so much per.

The unqualified success of the Red Cross fla.aar of May th at Tonawa ma wus unothi r evidence of the loyal ty and patriotism of the people of Harney county, and the committee having the lia.aar in charge, rcullz ing that this would not have been possible but for the loyalty and gen erosity of both donors and patrons, wishes to publicly acknowledge Its appreciation and gratitude to all who so generously contributed In every way to the splendid success of its un dertaking.

All householders who can entirely eliminate the use of wheat until the next harvest, about September 1, should do so. Householders who are obliged to use wheat should not use more than a total of 1 Vj pounds of wheat flour or prepared wheat, in any form, per person per week, including the wheat flour In Victory bread, aud Including the wheat flour or prepared wheat in crackers pastry, macaroni, break fast and other foods. In estimating flonr consumption every 1 pounds of Victory bread,, which is bread manufactured by bak ers under the Regulations of the United States Food Administration, may be considered equal to one pound of wheat flour. This rationing requires a more re trlcted use of wheat than that asked for by the observance of whcatluss davs and meuls, which are no long, r obligatory; but in pracUiv it will l found t hat even wider and miiro strict Observance of whe:Uless dg and meals will aid griatly in limiting the household consumption of win al flour uud other prepared wln.u i.i 1 Mi pounds por person per weeU. Householders In towns ami cities may not buy more than a quarter of a burrol of flour at any one t Hon iholders In the country nuiy I ol buy more tliaii a half barrel of 4 any one time, In DO event .)i .
