Hoover Says, J'Buy at Home"
No less an authority that Her
bert C. Hoover, United States
Food Administrator, is a strong
advocate of the "buy at home"
idea. Here is what Mr. Hoover
had to say on the subject a few
days ago:
"Use local supplies patronize
home industry and your local
producer. Distance means
money. Buy perishatfle food
from your neighbors and thus
save transportation."
Along with foodstuffs and oth-l
cr commodities Mr. Hoover
should have included printed
stationery and other products
of the local print shop. It is a
fact that newspaper men and
printers are generally loyal to
their own town in the matter of
buying their supplies. Can the
same be said of many other bus-
Iness men when it comes to buy
ing their printed matter?
Adjutant-General White on
Tuesday notified the local ex
emption board to be ready to
send 40 per cent of the men in
the Mopow county draft quota
to the mobilization camp at Am
erican Lake on September 19.
"This installment is to be made
up exclusively of white men, and
men who are to go should be noti
fied at once to hold themselves in
readiness," said General White
in his telegram to the local board.
"They should be told to take
very little baggage as civilian
clothes will have to be discarded
atcamp. It is advisable that
they take only necessary toilet
articles and changes of under
wear." The men making up the 40 per
cent of the quota from each cou n
ty will be required to assemble
at the headquarters of their loc al
board September 19, from there
proceeding to the mobilization
camp within four days.
A third installment of 40 per
cent of the quota will be called
out October 3 unless the War
Department changes the date,
and the remaining 15 per cent
will be called out as soon there
after as practicable.
Following are the names of the
morrow county men called. The
men will leave Heppner for Am
erican Lake next Wednesday.

INSTALL FLOUR 11
As a permanent business inst i
tution in Morrow county and
Heppner, the Farmers' Union
seems to cut some figure. Not
content with owning their own
warehouse the union last Spring
decided to build an elevator.
They called a meeting of mem
hers, subscribed the necessary
capital, let the contract and the
elevator is now an established
institution. Hut the farmers
were not satisfied with growing
and hauling and elevating and
marketing their own wheat so
ioinn time Hgo Iney decided to
J i install h (louring mill. There
whsii t any fuss made about it;
I hey Him ply raised the money
and bought a mill and now wind
is given out that the machinery
will be here within 30 days and
will be installed and in operation
perhaps by December I. The
mill is known as the American
Marvel Flour Mill, will have "a
daily cupucity of 50 barrels and
is guaranteed to make a grade of
Hour the equal of the best flour
on earth.
The mill will be installed in
the warehouse building and the
wheat supply will come from the
adjacent elevator by gravity.
They will do both custom and
merchant work and it is expect
ed it will bo operated continu
ously.
Attractive Show Windows '
The show windows in the Mi
nor Si Co. store are most attrac
tively dressed for the Fair. Miss

Heppner was visited by a tine
rain storm Monday evening
which effectually broke the pro
tracted drouth, put the dust nui
sance out of business, and clear
ed the Atmosphere of smoke and
ushered in the delightful period
of wonderful autumn weather
for which this section of country
is famous.
The storm started with a Hur
ry of wind which blew down a
Hag on lower Main street short
circuiting the light wires, burn
ing out a fuse mid plunging the
city intodarkness. This was the
lirst interruption in light service
in many months and so eccus
omed were the people to a de
pendable service that many were
without other means ef lighting
their honiesuiid there was a great
scurrying around for coal oil
lamps and candles. About tho
time these primitive means of
gotting the best of the darkuess
were iu service, however, the
city lights were turned ou again
aud the flurry was over.
Over on lllackhorse the storm
very nearly assumed the propor
tions of a cloudburst. A heavy
downpour lillcd the creek bed to
ovorllowing and sent a rush of
water through the town of Lex
ington which Hooded the streets
aud lower-portions of the town.
No particular damage was done,
however, and only good can be
charged up to the storm.
