Patriotic Farmer Boys Bonds.
W hile canvassing the prospects
of selling Liberty Bonds in M oro
lu t Saturday H . W . Strong, one
of our progressive patriotic farm­
ers living near M oro, stepped up
•nd said he would take $2500
v.orth; and also, during the period
o f the war, he would invest 50 per
< ent of the income from his farm
each year if he realised a reason­
able war profit on his crops over
what had been considered in the
past as a normal price.
M r.
Strong takes the view point of a
patriotic farmer who realizes that
me war is responsible for the pres­
ent condition o f the market as it
affects every kind of farm pro­
duce; he knows that while food
speculators, to some degree, are
responsible for boosting food
prices to limits nêver before known
in mercantile history the leverthat
enables these speculators to do
mis is the war, and that while
mese conditions continues these
j rices w ill of a necessity be to
some extent maintjfined; 4nerefore
i.e 'if. willing, both from patriotic
and business motives, to help fi-
nancet.the war of his country with
as little disturbance of business
conditions as is possible, knowing
that while these abnormal condi­
tions prevail other* ate sacrificing
and doing their best to have con­
ditions restored to normal as soon
as possible. We wonder if other
Sherman county farmers w ill fol­
low the lead of M r. Strong.
Autoists were numerous last Sun­
day on the 'Toads of Sherman
county. A number from Wasco
and north »were driving as far
south as Kent, a matter of about
100 miles, and easily don« in an
afternoon over the roads general­
ly found in Sherman county at
this time of year. The grain fields
Between these places show abund­
ant promise of substantial harvests
in the not distant future.
As a direct result o f the meet
each school which had pupils con­
testing in the field meet division
realized $2 tor each entry, and
those having pupils contesting in
the declamatory or oratoricJF d i­
vision received $8.34 for each en­
try; both being a pro rata*of the
amounts realized after expenses
were met.
Under the above plan of dis­
tributing the surplus funds there
was $200 divided among the par­
ticipating schools, as follows:
M oro, $55; Kent, $45; Grass Val­
ley, $45; Wasco, $36.34; Rufus,
$8.34; Webfoot, $8.34; District 6.
$2. Under the constitution and
by-laws of the association these
various amounts are to be used by
the schools in adding to their li­
brary.
The field meet was won by
M oro; the second time to win the
Loving Cup, and therefore now
the permanent property of the
M oro school. To be able to hold
the cup permanently each school
must win it twice, but not neces­
sarily in succession. In the field
meet division M oro won with 103
points out of a possible 164; Was­
co, 40, Grass Valley, 15; Kent, 6
The declamatory arid oratorical
contest in the Wasco school audi­
torium was by far the best series
of contests that has yet been wit­
nessed at any of the contests
amongtheShermancounty schools.
The rendition
Ruby
Played” in B division by Ronald
Payne of Rufus school was a mas­
terpiece of expression and poise;
it was the first tim e in the history
of the association that the audi­
ence demanded an encore from a
contestant, and it goes without say­
ing that all were pleased to have
the judges award first honors to
the young man. M oro received
two gold medals, 1st awards^ and
one silver medal. 2d place.
Those winning in the evening
contest and the schools represent­
ed were: C division. 1st place,
Gwendlyn Foss, M oro; 2d place,
Elmer Gossin, Webfoot. B d i­

Graduating diplomas to the 16
graduates of the 8th grades from
the schools of Sherman county
were presented by E. F. Carlton,
assistant state superintendent. In

a short addretft preliminary to the
presentation of the diplomas M r.
q ar|tQn
that Sherman county
»ng
o f the state in educational affairs,
saying that records are available
showing that 98 percent of those
graduating from the 8th grade in
Sherman county go forward into
other school work. He said that
very few counties had such a rec­
ord, and that the average over the
whole United States was not more
than eight per cent.
M r. Carlton also, referring to
the declamatory and oratorical
contest which had just closed, said
that while all could not win a
medal it yet was of benefit to each
participant in the poise coming to
them through defeat and which
made them all the more eager to
win the next contest, wheVher
school or otherwise, in which they
may participate.

The Sherman County Branch
Station at M oro, O . A. C., has is­
sued a bulletin titled "D ry Farm­
ing Investigations at the Sliferman
County Branch Experiment Sta­
tion.” Thia bulletin gives com­
plete information on the work of
the station for eight years; clima­
tic conditions under which the
work was conducted; rainfall, tem­
perature, evaporation, etc., that
every farmer should understand to
know why one year is different
from " another? Gives results of
experiments "with all varieties ot
wheat, about 50 varieties of field
peas, as well as alfalfa, sweet clo­
ver, vetch, etc. Every farmer in
Sherman county will be mailed a
copy of the bulletin and it is well
worth the time to read and study
it for the information it contains
for anyone who wants to be suc­
cessful in dry farm work.
After considerable discussion
and the arrival at the conclusion
thdt wheat can be threshed, hauled
and marketed cheaper in bulk
than in sacks, the farmers of the
Prosser section of Washington, at
Whitstran on the Northern Pacif­
ic, have given the Tumalum Lum­
ber Co. a contract to construct a
grain elevator at that place, to he
finished by July 20. Elevator ca­
pacity will be 50,000 bushels, di­
vided into eleven storage bins and
equipped with automatic dump
and weighing-out scales, and the
latest machinery for cleaning and
handling grain.

THE LATEST STYLE CHALMERS
'V -
JUST RECEIVED; '
Every Inch a Quality Car
This Chalmers of today is a car nny man— millionaire or miner— proudly may
own. For it not only acts quality, but looks quality.
$ 3 0 0 more buys no more quality tliau you can get in this Chalmers. Possibly
..more car*— yes, but more quality— no,
And why should anyone want a heavier car? These are days to be sensible in
purchasing. Remember a heavier car costs more to run.,,
It is w ell, to bear in m ind that 8 5 0 0 less
places you in the dangerous position ot
b u yin g a skim ped o r "starv e d ” autom obile.
T o pay 8 5 0 0 less is to postpone the day
when you w ill own a q u ality ear.
Juat let us punctuate a few remarks about
the Chalmers. Take the wheelbase — 1 1 7
inches. Plenty o f size there. Then the 5-inch
frame. No weaving o f body or frame now
in crossing car tracks or turning a corner.
Instead, severe r ig id ity — so severe that
squeaks, rattles or chassis noises are not
audible.
\
Underneath the rear seat a heavy, formid­
able rear axle. Overhead a Pantasote top
that comes close to finality— and with four
bows; not three.
A tilted windshield with plate gloss. A front
aeat that ia only 13'ri inches from the floor.
A rear seat that ia only 14 inches. Tell that
to the women o f your home.
Better brakes— 2 inches larger, if you please.
And when you push down with your right
foot you get results.
A hurgar Steering wheel, dustproof bearings
fas the front wheels, all wiring encased in
flexible arnsored tubing so that a short cir­
cuit fas your ignition, or lighting, or start­
in g ia well-nigh impossible.
Anri each lamp now controlled by an indi­
vidual fuse.
Then, too, the automatic lubrication o f the
engine controlled by the carburetor throttle
so that the engine is getting oil directly in
proportion to its load.
Any car that can do a mile in 38.1 seconds
or at the rate o f 9 4 '/j miles per hour as the
Chalmers did on tfae beach at Jacksonville,
Florida, which set a new time for cars of
the 2 3 0 cubic inch class answers the ques­
tion o f speed even for the w on t "fan* on
the subject ;
This time was made on May 4, 1 9 1 7 , by a
Chalmers. It was ’ o f course stripped for
racing purposes.
f*
ft
As for flexibility one need look no further.
A car that traveled the highest traffic mile­
age ever reported in twenty-four hours
through the heart o f Chicago on high, or a
car that webbdd its way through Detroit’s
busy traffic at the rare low speed o f 2.9
miles per houi for twenty-four hours with­
out stopping the engine but once is a real
performer.
This is just what this Chalmers did.
Come down to our show rooms and view the
beauty they have drawn into this ear. And
then set behind the wheel for a little spin.
You'll want your initials on the door inside
o f a mile.
