GILLIAM COUNTY
DOING FINE WORK SAY INSPECTORS
B. Bennifleld, government in
spector of threshing machines, ;
and C. Porter, representing the
government grain corporttion, i
are touring this section of the !
state. Last week and this they j
inspected a number of machines
in Gilliam county and so far have
found them generally to be oper
ating satisfactorily although they
found some combines that were
wasting a little grain. Mr.
lien ni field has traveled over
many sections of the United
States in the interest of the
government yet he says that in
all his travels he has never found
anyone doing any better thresh
ing than is now being done by
the Clyde Willaby thresher and
by the Jim Engberg machine.
After a cartful inspection he

THRESHERS ARE
stated that these machines were
savins: all the grain. This work
is very important and these in
spectors thoroughly understand
their duties. They are pleasant
men to meet but it can be seen
at once they are looking after the
interests of Uncle Sam. They
found in Sherman and Wasco
counties where the principal
machine used is the combine
that considerable grain has been
wasted and they stopped several
machines' in those counties. One
combine in this county was also
stopped. Wheat is too precious,
aside from its mo.iey value, to be
wasted after it has been grown.
0. B. Kobertson and J. C.
Sturgill accompanied these men'
on their tour of inspection in
this county.
FIND SOME MACHINES
ARE WASTING GRAIN
The government inspectors of
threshing machines who are vis
iting the counties in this vicinity
report that in Sherman county
they found one thresher that
was wasting 12 pound out of
ever two and one-half bushels
or practically one bushel ppt of
every twelve threshed. This ma
chine was stopped at once and
when one considers that seven
pounds of wheat will save a Bel
gian child it is plain to see why
any machine which wastes grain
should not be allowed to operate.
That machine in Sherman could
have saved many Belgian children
every day it was running.

fire while cooking a breaskfast

nesday morning. Her apron
caught fire first and she ran out
into the back yard, the flames
spreading quickly to other parts
of her clothing. Evan Anderson
was in the dining ' room and
hurried to her aid. His hands
were badly burned in beating
out the flames but his prompt
action probably saved Miss
Shadley's life. Miss Shadley's
shoulders and necK were burned
quite deeply and she inhaled a
little of the fire and smoke! Dr.
Cathey was called and took her
to the hospital where she is rest
ing as easily as can be expected.

MUCH GRAIN WASTED
It has been estimated by the
government that approximately
40,000,000 bushels of wheat are
lost every year in the United
States through wastage by the
threshing crews. This is the
reason that government inspec
tors are visiting the threshing
machines in Gilliam county and
all other grain growing counties
in the state. Such waste must
be stopped and the thresher men
are enthusiastically co-operating
with the government to save this
great amount of grain.

of Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lane
