Larceny Trial Putoff Tramontina Fined $50 i Wasco For Lack Of Attorney F“r The term of court for May was short in point of time. Actual work accomplished consisted of a true hill against A. P. Applegate who was charged with larceny and the admission t f Gus Hartman and Julia Payne to American 'citizen ship. It was expected by all concern ed that wffien an indictment was brought in against 'Applegate, he and his attorney would be present to begin the trial. Applegate, ‘him self, was present to answer for his hail, but his attorney was absent because of his stated understand ing that the case would not bt given the jury until one term of court had passed after the com mission of the alleged crime. Jurors answered two or three calls and were finally dismissed fof the term. > Ball Team Br'v'ng By 12 to 3 Score was held in Justice Mee’a court at __ Wasco Tuesday afternoon on a ch a rg e of reckless driving.

Sunday School Teachers Institute Scheduled Winners of Show Scattered Over Entire County To Indicate Wider Interest In Sheep Than Formerly Held With a day as pleasant aa the chosen date last year was uncom fortable, the second* lamb show for Sherman county sheep began auspiciously, with sheep owners’ bringing their entries to the pens at the fair grounds for judging. The pens were placed between two of the barns where the wind could not have bothered seriously if there had been any, which there was not. Judging was done by R. L. Clark of the firm of BoDine and Clark and Prof. A. W. Oliver and O. M. Nelson of the Oregon State col lege who arrived snortly after the pens were filled to begin their work. Wasco Man Wins First The best pen of three class was judged as. follows; First, Robert McDonald of- Wasco; second, A. Kock of Grass Valley; third, Mrs. Daisy Hennagin of Moro; fourth, Wallace May Qf Grass Valley; fifth, W. C. Helyer of Kent. In the singles class the winner was A. Kock of Grass Valley; sec ond, Glen King of Grass Valley; third, • Robert Rohde* of Moro*, fourth, Bobbie King of Grass Val ley: fifth, Daisy Hennagin of Moro. The judging of the fleeces was held over until the afternoon be cause of. a lack of time in the morning. A total of 41 lambs was on display by farmers all over the county indicating a more general interest in the show than before. Business Men Sponsor Show The show is put on by business men of Moro who donate the var ious prizes to be distributed as the committee decides. Interest in the development of the sheep indus try fa the reason for the show.. The Moro Commercial club acted as sponsors. | Thursday evening a “Sheep Herder’s’’ ball was given at the Legion Hall which furnished the entermainment for the sheep men and their friends for the latter part of the day. Crossbred sheep were in the ma jority in the show although some of the exhibitors are breeders of pure bred sheep, mostly of the general purpose classification as pure bread fine or coarse wools are not favored.

Groups are expected from Rufus Kent, ¡Moro, Wasco, Grass Valley, and Tygh Valley, said R. C. Byers, A»BOcfation president, Tueeday. Remain Fair Continued di^ weather in North American wheat areas with deter ioration reported in much of the crop and a good foreign demand for offerings of old crop grain com bined to lend strength to wheat markets. Canadian trade advices indicate that although light rains and showers have brought relief to home areas, moisture supplies are still inadequate in large sec tions of the Prairie Provinces. Eu ropean crops have shown improve ment in some areas but »conditions are quite irregular and well be low normal, particularly in large producing countries of France and Italy. The outlook in Germany fa reported below average while early forecasts of the Italian and French outturns indicate harvest as well below normal domestic require ments. Conditions in the countries of the Lower Danube are report ed mostly favorable despite recent heavy rains. In the Southern Rus sian winter wheat areas, conditions are reported good and in the Volga regions drouth has been relieved by recent rains, although more moisture fa needed.
