HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30. 1917.
NUMBER 30
WHEAT $2.28 PER BU.
FLOUR $8.52 PER BBL.
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.
