Ultimate fons-.iii ers who patronize
the corner butcher shop, should give
articular attention ( this very true
experience f Hugh Smith, of Fossil,
Or. Mr. Smith, who is at the Impe
rial s 'n the sheep business, and
there! ore to be commiserated. He
nr.edod a Ct'tain sum of mony for a
purpose which need not be mentioned
Naturally, the way to raise the money
was to sell some shee; to he proceed
ed to do so. From his flock he sel
ected some lambs and some ewes.
The ewes were not of recent vintage;
in fact they were somewhat passe,
but had reached the point of finding
their way to the marltet. A carload
was made up and Mr. Smith chaper
oned the sheep to the yards in Port
land, figuring that from the carload
he would raise the sum necessary to
liquidate Ihe obligation which was on
his mind. For the lambs he receiv
ed a fair price. Hut the ewes! For
the ewes, which two or three yars ago
would have been worth $15 each, he
received 1 cent a pound. The weight
of the ewes was 80 pounds, so for
eacli one he was paid 80 cents. The
transportation and other charges
against the ewes amounted to 40
cents so that for each whole ewe he
sold he received exactly 40 cents.
Of course these sheep are not Jiable
to be sold by the butcher as lamb
chops although there is no telling
but they will be sold for mutton
chops, and when the ultimate consu
mer buys Hie chops from these ewes
he will not get them for a cent a
pound nor anything like it. The ul
timate consumer will probably pay
for a mess of chops more than Hugh
.Smith received for the whole sheep.
No more fliers in stock will be tak
en by A. L. Demaris, of Milton, Dr.
He has been effectively cured for all
time, he declares. Mr. Demaris puts
In most of his time as a wneat farm
er, but for years he fussed around
with livestock in a speculative sort
of way. Recently Mr. Demaris
thought that he would take a shot at
a little speculation, pick up a car
load of cattle and play the market.
He browsed around and liad little dif
ficulty in finding a stockman willing
to accomodate him. Mr. Demaris
bought a carload at a price so low
that he was almost ashamed to take
the critters and almost wept when
he thought of the force of circum
stances which compelled the grower
to let go of the stuff at such a ridicu
lously low figure. Now here comes
ihe punch. Mr. Demaris brought tne
carload to market and sold it. He
took the proceeds of the sale and
sent them to the grower, out In addi
tion he had to send his check for
$4 8.50 in order to make up the
amount I hat he had agreed to pay tlie
grower for tho stock. When Mr. De
maris reviewed the transaction his
sympathy switched from the grower
to himsvlf, for after all or his trouble
he was out $18.5(1 as a result of
his little flier. Mr. Demaris Is at
the Imperial and is not wearing a
necktie. The absence of the necktie
isn t the result of the disastrous
speculation, but is constitutional with
him.

Many people in Morrow county
will be interested in nn article in the
Country Gentleman of July 2nd,
BpealunK of the Oklahoma Cotton
fowcrs. This organization is or
ganized on the same plan as the Ore
gon wheat growers.
The following is quoted from a let
ter by the secretary of the Oklahoma
Bankers Association:
" The agricultural committee of
theOklahoma Bankers Association
has given careful consideration to
the security of bankers who made
crop mortgage to the members of the
Oklahoma Cotton Growers assocla
tion. This investigation has been
made both at the request of the cot-
, ton association officials and members
of our association. The members of
the agricultural romiuittee are unan
iniously of the opinion that under the
plan proposed by the Cotton associ
ation the bankers security of crop
mortgage loans will be greater than
it is now for two reasons: The
amounts received from cale of cot
ton by the association are likely to be
larger than they are now. Second,
because the local banker will look to
the association for the payment of
crop mortgages of all members rath
er than as Is now the case, looking
to the Individual grower.
We believe that there is no q u os
tion whatsoever regarding tho sivur
ity of people loaning money to farm
ers under the Oregon Grain Growers
contract.

Do you ever long for real up to the minute entertainment? Something above
the movie class?
Since when did you take the wife and children to hear a real good lecture?
"Oh! Not since last season's chautauqua." We thought so. That is why
we wanted them back again ourselves. We are in about the same boat.
Don't forget that the wife is just as anxious to hear it as you. You see
more people than she does.
HOW ABOUT THE CHILDREN? DO YOU THINK THAT HIGH
CLASS LECTURES ARE GOOD FOR THEIR MENTAL DIESTION?
