s oy ,,* ^Ijerman ôTmtntu journal Moro, Oregon, Friday, Sixty-First Year No. 27 T h ese T h in g s We N ote by Giles L. French A visitor who attends some of the community feeds in Sherman county would be surprised to see a thin man who was a native. It might not «be appropriate or pro per for the writer to challenge the world on behalf of the cooks of the county but we’ll lay a small wager that one can get as much to eat at a Sherman county potluck dinner as any place. The tasty OES spread at the Eakin gale is the latest demonstration of Sherman county cookery that caused the writer to regret his small (but growing) capacity.
