Bond Quotas
May Suffer From Damage Grain
Harvest Work
Having succeeded, in the final To Some Extent
week, in buying the June quota
of war bond», Shenman county cit­
izens may get into harvest with­
out buying the $14,000 of the
July quota
Public officials are deploring the
let-down in war production and
give over confidence as the reason.
They are probably right. It would
be imost unfortunate if bond buy­
ers should also become over.con­
fident and fail in purchase of
bonds to keep the wheels rolling
now that some success is coming
to American arms abroad
The county quota for war sav­
ings stamps is $1681, and this
can alao be raised if each person
will make a small investment in
s-tampst In this county they ire

who are taking pride in their pur­
chases.
New City Pump
Now Working
The new city pump was ¡Marl­
ed Saturday morning after be­
ing* installed Friday and adjust­
ed Saturday. Householders n<fw
can make satisfactory suds in
their dish pan and there have
been many comments of house-
wirely pleaslre over the soft wa­

more generally enjoyed after the
use of tl\p more alkaline water
the city served through the pipes
for the past three months.
On its first test, without- use of

ment prduced 50 gallons per min­
ute. Inasmuch as it is automatic­
ally controlled it can run many
hours per day as needed and is
expected to supply the needs.
Historical Relics
Should Be Shown
The Old Oregon Trail Centen­
nial commission announce« that
August 15 will be historical ex­
hibit week, during which (those
having historical material should
have a chance to display it. Cit­
ies are asked to arrange for a
display of such exhibits in store
windows or other suitable places
where they may be enjoyed.
The commission feels that a
great many pioneer relics are hid­
den in basements and attics where
their value in teaching visual his­
tory cannot be used.
In Sherman county there are a
number of such relics that would
make a desirable display and suit­
able for this, the centennial of
tho overland journey of the first
wagon train from Missouri to
Oregon.
Mrs. Clara Stone
Dies At 81
Clara McBride Stone, pioneer

Mrs Stope was born October 19,

ing, Cal., and came to Wasoo to

known as the Hugh White place

To this union five children were
born, one daughter dying in in­
fancy. Surviving are Frank Har­
old of Carcross, Canada, Murvel

Injury Not C a i> f e r r i
Heavy After Tkree
Days of Heat
The hot days of the first «1
the week did not do th» Sherman
county grain crop any good.
Some fields already show spots
where the grain has cured «hand­
ing.. Sometimes indvKfcaU , heads
are dead. How extensive thia dank-
age is will not be knoem «atti har­
vest when the percentage of shriv­
eled kernels is determined.
The cause Is probably a little
too heavy a stand for the amhua<
of moisture available. Many « I d s
are very thick becaOsa af heavy
seeding and heavy, high 'growth
o-f wheat or barley. In the diwwj
the grain has aready matured be­
yond chance of serious injury and
on good soil the grain is often
»till green.
Most peaswhistic concfasion il
that the grain will M ahrivabd
as It is in the stiff dough and the
kernels will have aena weight
and substance. . The total yield
will be cut, howWor. •
In the north end of the county
where harvesting to about ready
to begin therd should be Itoti» dam­
age except to the few ffeMl of
spring gram. In the south seni of
the county there is a preponder­
ance of spring grain that to sttll
very green. A continuatimi s f warm
weather might do a great deal
of damage to wheat that needs
three weeks to ripen.
Little damagu * *
has had heavier Mito» ihlito ufhev
parts of the county and may be
better prepared for hot days.
There are a number o f field«
that look m if they Might make
40 bushels to the acre if the ker­
nels mature withoud damage,but
this might be cut sariouay if
there is much shriveling.
