The Victory Liberty Loan cam paigners arrived home Wednesday from their tour of the southern part of the county and report only Indif ferent success, as nowhere did they find many people gathered to hear the message tjiey had. The stock men are in the hills looking after their flocks and herds, while those of the home did not show as much en thusiasm as in the former drives for funds. The proposition of turning in former bonds In exchange for the Victory Loan notes has met with ap proval and in this manner more are being taken than otherwise. The citizen of modern means is willing to sacrifice a little temporarily to meet the present emergency, especial ly when it is pointed out that It will be to their advantage In tbe end from the fact that the Victory Bonds are higher rate of interest and mature In four years which gives the bolder an opportunity to Invest the amount at the commercial rate of Interest and realize more. Judge J. D. Stevens is the outsldi' speaker with the parly and has put the subject very clearly and forcibly before his hearer. The gentleman spoke for a short time at the Liberty theater In this cliy Wednesday even ing but touched only briefly upon the subject.

A. C (L. Q. South In O. A. C. Barometer.) Ralph E. Irving, from Harney County High School where he gradu- ated in 1911. Is this year finishing a successful college course both from tbe standpoint of scholarship and ac tivities. He Is president of the Wlthycombe Club, an organization composed of students interested In Animal Husbandry. The club was named after the late Governor Wlth ycombe and was fostered and support ed by him. Mr. Irving also holds a position as student Instructor. When "Buck" Irving first landed here ho was In the same predicament as many other students after being here a while. He was broke. But that did not stop him, for he has worked his way through four years of college, and he is now on the eve Of graduation. The only time he was out of school was some five or six months eyhen tut was In the service of Uncle Sam down at Camp Kearney. While Mr. Irving was a freshman he did not take very kindly to the treatment handed to him by the sophomore class and on occasions strenuously objected. On account of hisT activity as a rook he became an artlvo member of the 1919 Vigilance committee. Before coming to college Buck was allied with the cattle Industry of llar noy county and was a cowboy of no mean ability as many people there will testify. When he came to col lego he naturally registered In Ani mal Husbandry. BELTS WILL BE WIDE THIS SEASON-m m , , i ! i . ' ' , 'f" .-MPlLi. JU-i 'ml .-rr galf?S ( U tiK fViY l9it 1 ' sw- ,IH.

MUCH PHOPKKTY NKAK DKKWHKY CHAMOM HANDS Larwwt Dal Reported 1m Hulo of ;H) Acres By Milt Davis At t2,0M The Times-Herald has learned of several real estate deals recently near Drewsey which involveed consider able money. Tho largest was the transfer of 300 acres together with some stock by Milt Davis to Ed How ard. This Involved In the neighbor hood of $42,000. The land is under u high state Ot cultivation wnn an adequate Irrigation system. Wm. Dunlap also sold 160 acres of developed land adjoining Drewsey to W. W. Miller for $15,000. James Oearhart has purchased the Interests of the other heirs In the es - tate of his late father, covering some 400 scree on Calamity creek. Joe Cronln recently purchased 320 acres from Ed Howard for $10,000. This land was part farming, the other portion being grazing land. Bert Dunten haa bought 40 acres of the old Sltz place on the Malheur above Drewsey. The balance of the place was recently old to a Yakima man who desires to engage in tne stock business. With the exception of the last named deal all these transfers are among home people who are entirely familiar with the land and are show ing their faith in their county. From the same source we are In formed that the people of Drewsey had subscribed sufficient funds to sink an experimental well to the depth of M0 fssl tor artesian water. "smfl Jill vir n ONLY PARTIAL LIST SECURED SO FAR CollaborafJsg With Pablisser ( Honor Roll. The government has asked that the boys who served In the aVmy and navy be registered in their respective states. The State Histrolcal Society has also requested the record of these boys, together with photographs and information as to their service, re gardless of Its character or where it was performed, whether in this part of tbe world or at the front across the water. It has been difficult to secure this Information. In fact there has been no accurate record kept of the boys who went out from this county. Tt Is important that this information be correct In every detail so far as can be obtalsed and the parents of boys or anyone Interested whether related or not, if they are satisfied such in formation has not been turned in to Mrs. Clark, County School Superin tendent, should send it in.

It is not complete, but she has no means of adding the omissions unles those who know will Inform her. Some of those already enumerated may be wrong or duplicated because of a slight change in the spelling of the name. This should be corrected by anyone who knows. Those who are In a position to do so are urgently requested to aid In this Important work. We don't want a record of the war to go to press and leave some of our boys out when It is possible to get the Infor mation desired, which Includes the branch of service, where, when, dis charged, etc., also a photograph. Those who have filled out their in formation blanks and given pictures to "Curly" Potter need not duplicate them as information assigned to Mrs, Clark will be used in connection with the book to be gotten out by him.
