County Agent Hawkins
Helps Farmers
Good evidence that the work
of the county agent is important
to Gilliam county is the fact that
last month Mr. Hawkins mixed
1040 quarts of squirrel poison.
He is able to sell this to the far
mersatlS cents a quart when
the usual price paid is about 40
cents. This alone is a saving of
$260. And many farmers are
fighting the squirrels who never
made much effect along those
lines before. . ,
The Pleasures of Life
They are of many kinds and derived from
many sources.
The greatest source of pleasure, and one
that is always commendable is Beauty.
And there is no object of Beauty that sur
passes appropriate
...Jewelry....
Our line is especially choice. You will experience
great pleasure in just seeing these splendid articles, and
greater still from possessing them.

BIG FARM PROBLEM
' Washington, May 28. The American

regiments and by drovea.
Om hundrad thousand tractors are
cbugchugging away In tha fields, early
and lata, doing the work of at least
200,000 farm bands and 800,000 boraea.
Tha former haa pinned bis faith to
the tractor, and if he can win ever the
submarine with it this year, neither the
I. W. W. nor the Halthualan law ever
again can worry the food producer.
The tractor la solving the American
food production problem, the back-to-the-land
problem, and many other
things that Died to give the good Ameri
ean gray baira.
' Last summer not mora than 40,000
traetora were in uae on American farms,
and the gasoline plow horse waa looked
upon as an experiment. Now twelve
factories are running night and day to
aupply the demand for traetora, and
the railroad administration la rushing
thaiaahda of traetora to the fields.
More than 200,000 of these, gasoline
laborers will be in uae by the end of
this year, officials of the department of
agriculture estimate. '

it is the patriotic duty of every house
sif to use substitutes until that time.

and all of us join the forces of conser
vation. Tested recipes have been eent
to every community and aa the number
of leaflets is limited it la strongly urged
that every housewife cut out these re
ci pea from the paper and use them.
Bakeries, aa a necessity, must use a
precentage of white flour, -for raised
oread loses, its consistency and delicacy
without it, and bakeries must exist for
the succor Of congested districts where
bread cannot be made at home. So
housewives, who can dose, should make
use of hot bread and nothing else for
the next five months. The following
recipes has been tested by the committee
and is splendid.
Cornmeal and Barley Bread
1 cup cornmeal, 2 tablespoona sugar
(or sirup), I cup barley flour, S tea
