for a T h rift Crop
Primary Election in Sherman County
O W IN G the seed is only one step -in the
production of a crop. If the harvest ia to be
abundant, favorable conditions must be main
tained. T o th e ’ business man, this means
favorable credit conditions.
T h e Federal Reserve System is the great
stabilizer of commercial credit conditions to* >
day. I t insures an ample Aipply of such credit
a t all times.

The Great
Thing About Real Tobacco”
says the Good Judge
is that it tastes so good,
t»nd a little chew lasts so
much longer than the
old kind.
The good, rich tobacco
stays right with
th is clr.ss of tob acco.
Thr.t’s why it costs you
lesd to chew it.
Any man who uses the
Real i oLacco Chew will
tell you that.

ANNOUNCEMENT

c*wi»< níh
We are Informed by a content*
fjoinry that the Bronx doctors have
formed a union and will seek affili
ation with the American Federation
of Latmr. This seems to ui to he an
act of supererogation, but presum
ably the doctors know what they are
doing. They always do know what
they are doing when strengthening
their own position by aseoclational
agreements, although at times they
are not so sure of It when engaged
In strictly professional work. There
Is a wide-spread belief, however, that
ihe doctors were already fairly well
••organized," and thut they had even
enlisted thepollce power of the state
In the cause of a "closed shop." We
are curious to see just what sliH||j the
new scale of prices will take, and If
(he qualified but unknown young phy
sician or surgeon will be entitled to
as much pay as the proved, If no more
«klllful, operator, says New York,,
Morning Telegraph. Also, we would
like to ask If they will be expected to
"walk out” In sympathy should other
-sections of the "needle” trades quit
because of a Just grievance? Again,
would It be unethical for them to
write a prescription without a previ
ous understanding that It must not
he filled In a cut-rate pharmacy?
Leonard Wood, of Massachusetts,
is the choice of the republicans of
Shermqn county for next president,
he receiving 283 votes with Hiram
Johnson of California, second with
152. Hbnryz Cabot Lodge, also of
Massachusetts, received the highest
nbmber of votes for vice president.
W illiam Gibbs McAdoo, o f ' New
York, was the only one contesting for
the presidency on the democratic tick
et and won by 143 with Willicqn T
Vaughn, of Oregon, his running mate
as vice president.
The vote for delegates at large,
delegates from the 2d congressional
district, and for presidential electors,
on both party tickets, was rather
evenly divided among numerous can
didates and, as affecting the gen en l
results in the state the county figures
are immaterial insofar as this article
is concerned.
On the republican ticket) Stanfield
received 334 votes for United States
senator with his opponent being given
122. Chamberlain, on the democratic
ticket, received,» 168 against 32 for
Starkweather; this contest was ex
pected to be much closer as President
Wilson had taken quite a hand in
favor of Starkweather.
For congressman, Sinnott received
362 republican votes and his opponent
Jones 158. James H. .Graham was
nominated on the democratic ticket
w:th no opposition.
On the republican state ticket W.
D..Wood, of Washington county, wa?
the choice for secretary of state, re
ceiving 147 votes as against 145 for
Mr. Kozer and the rest being given
about an even number of votes. For
public service commissioner H. H.
Corey received 278 and Luper 182.
In the judicial district Judge Park
er was again nominated for circuit
judge and C. M. Huddleston for dis
trict attorney, on both tickets. The
same thing occurred in the legislative
district where O. B. Robertson, of
Gilliam county, w$s nominated for
state senator and A. M. Wright, of
Sherman county, and R. J. Carsner,
of Wheeler county, were nominated
for state representatives.
All county nominees, either ticket,
also received the nomination from the
opposite party, thus elim inating any
local fight at the election next fall.
On the republican ticket, MUgh Chris
man was nominated for sheriff, beat
ing J. M. Yocom by 169; L. L. Peetz
commissioner by a margin of 109;
other nominees are G. B. Bourhill for
treasurer; Otto Peetz for assessor;
M. B. Taylor for coroner. The'dem
ocratic nominees are Grace L. May
for school superintendent; Mrs. M. L.
Hoskinson for clerk; H. S. Wall for
county surveyor.
All measures voted on carried in
the county and in the state as well.
The exact figures are immaterial.

SNR
The One Who Succeeds
Just go back In your mind over the
w’ay you have come and count the
number of times you have been un
successful, when you threw up your
bunds and started Into damn condi
tions anl pity yourself. If the farm
er waited until weather, reed, market
conditions and his own personal feel
ings suited film right down to the
ground, he would never reap a har
vest.
The business man will never
have everything Just to his liking.
Prices will be too high or’ too low,
the seasons will be too cold or too
hot and It’s always either too wet or
too dry.
Our observation has been
that the most successful men are the
ones who do not use up their energy
quarreling with conditions, says Grit.
They are the men who sinlle and hop
to It. They find out. first of all, if
there Is anything wrong with them
selves or their particular business
vhlch they can overcome and set
ight, and then pull up their belts an-
>ther notch and hop to It. They resi
ze that- the other fellow Is busy with
his own particular problems, that It
Is up to them individually to make
good and when they attain to this
frame of mind they usually do. Hop
to It, brother, while the hopping’s
good.
It seems altogether likely that the
nerson who arises to say that the girl
of today Is more beautiful because
the films have shown her how Is on
the right track, says Milwaukee Jour
nal. At least a good deni Is attrib
utable to the films. Including a large
•rop of the future manhood of the
republic *with the given names of
Francis and Douglas. Other benefits
are to be hoped. Those of us, fob In
stance, whose domestic difficulties are
never submitted to the arbitrament of
flying china sincerely hope that cus
tard pies have softened the bruised
feelings resultant from ouch encoun
ters and somewhat reduced the high
cost of strife.
England Is encouraging the stand
iirdlzatlon of clothing for women to
decrease the cost of living. But that
cannot be accomplished until women
ure standardized, which Is one of the
problems that present difficulties.
Wang P. Tong and Sun Yat Seb
have arranged peace between North
China and South China. In the face
I "of Japanese uggresaton. teivgîstrlal
and Impertinent, all the Celestials are
getting together.

been awarded the Ford contract and that we will
distribute Ford cars, trucks and tractors for Sherman
county and that portion of Wasco county east of the
DesChutes river.
The price of raisins Is up 100 per
cent, but maybe that was to be expect
ed—such vast quantities having been
used In attempts to turn near-beer Into
something wicked.
The same Ford service stations will serve you in
the towns of this section as in the past.

Produce more and waste less. That
Is the fundamental remedy for the sit

hut temporary and Incidental.
Place your orders early as the more orders we
have the more cars and tractors we will be able to
