meeting last night at the red bench
Communications were read from Cant.
Tom Morgan and Lieut, Slocum. Capt.
Morgan has turned over all his affairs
in the city to Doug. Gurdane. He also
snid that he intended to take a vaca
tion for some time but so many of the
Squad had been out of town that he
could ii t leave the community. Lieut,
Slocum wrote that he was surprised to
find Al Binne up before the court
again and also advocated that the
Squad take in Attorney Nys as a
member. Nys was brought up im
mediately for consideration and it
was thought that if he was admitted
the Auxiliary Squad would not be
necessary, as the women would have
an earnest champion in the Squad dc
lilierations. Nys was elected to
membership by a largo vote, lie
was assigned to duty at the moving
fiicture snow, which will conflict very
Ittle with his regular duties.
A report was read of the investi

discouraged because the grasshoppers
have eaten some of your vegetables,
but do not let that deter you from
bringing in what you have. Even if
you do not feel that you have prize
winning exhibits, they will all help the
exhibit. It is worth while to show
that you have made an effort.

HOTES FROM THE HERALfl'S "LIVE WIRE"
CORRESPONDENT AT IE
Fifteen sacks of Cears and Reo
buek catalogs arrived in Heppner last
weeK. - inere were about thirty of the
bound booklets in each sack. This
ondition we suppose exists all over
the country. It is surely a profitable
nvestment or they would not print
them. There is a certain lure about
ordering things from catalogs and
waiting to see what you get. Eventu
ally, of course, the house must make
ood with its customers. If you don't
think they pay, ask our friend Noble
who sells nearly every saddle he
makes via his catalog. This has been
increasing every month until he has
now four men employed in his store
and they are a month behind orders.
We believe that every merchant could
.'ollow this plan on a scale suitable
to his business.
PARIS, Sept. 10 "The Allies are
repelling the enemy everywhere. The
German right is hard pressed as the
reinforcements under General Von
Buelow failed to arrive. They were
driven back across the river Marne
and toward Belgium." It is believed
here that the recently landed Eng
lish troops raided their communica
tion lines and furiously attacking
their flank. The French center is
also advancing. All reports indicate
that the situation on the German
Russian frontier is hourly becoming
more serious for the Kaiser. The re
port is current that the Russians have
taken Cracow, the strongest fortress
in Austrian Galicia and were advanc
ing on Berlin.
Several parties have told us that
the Wills Brothers, who live out on
Butter Creek, had some fine peaches.
It was on our minds to drop along
there some time to visit them but
they made that unnecessary when
they dropped ..into the semi-weekly
office last Tuesday with a box of the
said fruit. Fruit is only one of the
side-issues with them but they cer
tainly have fine peaches. They have
over two hundred hogg on the place
and porn is a desirable thing to have
in these days of high prices. When
you mention the up-to-date diversi
fied farmers just remember the Wills
brothers.
