That's the proposition the Far mers' Union, of Scio, Oregon, is figuring on according to the following dispatch sent out from Salem Tuesday: John Shimanek, member of the State Lime Board, and also a member of the Farmers' Union at Scio, reported to State Labor Commissioner Hoff today a plan for cheap flour and high priced wheat for farmers, which far mers in the Scio section plan to secure. The scheme will be plac ed by Mr. Shimanek before the state meeting of the farmer's Union to be held at Pendleton next month. Mr Shemanek states that far mers are arranging with a miller at Scio to grind their wheat at 20 cents a bushel flat By this means the farmers get the flour, bran and shorts and they esti mate they will get 1.13 for their flour, 17 cents for their bran and 18 cents for the shorts or a total of $2.28 after deducting 20 cents for the miller. On this basis they will sell flour at cost or at $2.13 for a $2.65 sack and still receive $2.18 for their wheat, as compared to $1.90, the base price and at the same time the consum er will receive a $2.65 sack of flour for $2.13. The miller at Scio is satisfied with this profit and efforts will be made to make similar arrange ments throughout the state to benefit both farmer and consumer. Ciceronian Entertainment Success Tbe .entertainment given by the Ciceronian society in the school auditorium Thursday ev ening was out of the ordiuary. The main feature, an original sketch. "Pilgrim's First Thanks giving," was designed, written and staged by the students with out aid or interference from the teachers. Miss Ruth VanVactor, as an Indian maiden, gave an original oration that was a mas terpiece in conception, composi tion and delivery. Norton Win. nard took the part of Puritan minister in splendid style, and Garnett Barratt, as an Iudian chief, delivered an eloquent ad dress in the Indian tongue. Oth er members of the society also acquitted themselves well. F. A. McMenamin made a splendid ad dress on "Thanksgiving.'' Lack of space forbids the extended mention this occasion deserves.
