The Rotary Rod Weeder
Manufactured in Cheney, Washington
The Rotary Rod Weeder & Mfg Co. of Cheney,

time they have built nothing but Rotary Rod
Weeders. This company originated the Rotary
Rod Weeder and while imitations are appearing
on the market, you can buy the best value for
your money from these pioneer builders of the
most valuable farm implement placed on the
market in recent years.
The Moro Hardware & Implement Co. carry a
complete line of Rotapr Rod Weeders and re
pairs. The new machines, guaranteed to please
you, can be seen at the Moro Hardware & Im
plement Co. warehouse. Ask N. W. Thompson
to explain this guarantee.

Glenn McLachlin, eldest son of
D. J. MclJichlin received a broken
cheek bone Monday when a horse on
a harrow team kicked him in the
face. The boy was harrowing on the
McLachlin farm when a single tree
became twisted. When he stooped
to unhitch the trace to straighten it
out the horse became frightened and
the injury resulted.
The boy was
brought to Moro for treatment by
Dr. Froyd who was with L. D. Eaton
in The Dalles. Not finding Dr. Froyd
at Moro, Mr. McLachlin had his son
taken to Dr/ Wonderlick at Wasco.
The third annual Thompson Fam
ily Roundup was held Sunday, June
21st at DeMoss Springs.
After a
picnic dinner a meeting was held,
talks and speeches were made by
different members of the family. A
talk was made by C. J. Thompson on
problems of the day, the chief topic
being the abolishment of war.
There are living 135 members of
the Thompson family. During the
past year there were no deaths and
but one birth, Frances Fay Elliott at
Newport, Washington.
Among those present were J. R,
Thompson and wife of Portland;
Corrinne Thompson, who is attending
Franklin high school in Portland;
Hollis Bull, who is attending Oregon
Agriculture college; C. J. Thompson
and family, from Corvallis; C. A.
Nish and family, from Mikalo; A.

There are 84 families represented
in the membership of the Thompson
family roundup. The meeting held
last Sunday was attended by mem
bers of 18 families. At present time
there are five living generations rep
resented among the membership.
Another family distinction is that
through Mrs. Rosa Thompson the
Thompson clan are also members of
the Henkle clan who held their an
nual family meeting af Corvallis
this week. A. J. Henkle, father of
Mrs. Thompson, died at the Thomp-
son homekin this city two years ago
