(By C. C. Calkins.)
The Morrow County Farm Bureau
Executive committee met In regular
session last Saturday and made care
ful plans for their coming Farm Bur
eau organization. They plan to use
President Mansfield in a speaking
tour just as soon as he will be avail
able. A committee will endeavor to
make arrangements to have Presi
dent Mansfield to visit every farm
bureau community in the county
while here.
The American Farm Bureau Fed
eration has been representing the far
mers Interests as they have never
been represented before. Our
state farm bureau president, George
A. Mansfield, represented the farm
ers Interests In a hearing before the
Governors of the Federal Reserve
Board of the United States from
which we have been able to get action.
It is due to organized efforts that
the Federal Reserve banks are ac
cepting wheat paper as collateral af
ter the harvest period.
The cooperaative wool and grain
marketing organizations are direct
results of the work of the farmers in
the country organized in their farm
bureau. In summing it up the farm
bureau in the states of the nation re
presenting the farmers are bringing
pressure to bear such as they have
never brought to bear before and
present the only ray of hope which
the farmers have at the present time
for a hearing of their own problems.
The Executive committee decided
upon a $5.00 membership fee which
will be used about as follows; 50
cent dues In the American farm bur
eau federation, $1.50 goes to the sup
port of the state farm bureau, $1.00
will be used to finance the State
Farm Bureau paper, which will go
to every member and the other $2.00
will be used to lake care of the
farm bureau work in the county.
Membership fee has been cut down
to the lowest posible point in order
to make It possible for every Morrow
county farmer to become a member
of this farm organization. The cam
paign will be handled entirely by vol
unteer committeemen. Just as soon
as it is possible to arrange for defi
nate speaking dates and arrange
ments arc made In the different com
munities to handle the membership,
the campaign will b laaneW. The

agriculture for their business.

SLUMP IN CATTLE DOESN'T
SCARE DOB CARSNER
No matter if times are hard, mon
ey scarce and the stock business prc
ty well knocked Into a cocked hat,
R. J. Carsner, cattleman of Spray,
has faith In the cattle business as is
shown by the fact that he recently
purchased the bands of Barrat & Son
and W. E. Straight. The two bunches
aggregate about 2 50 head. The cat
tle are stockers and added to Mr.
Coroner's former head brings the to
tal to something more than 1000
head.
Mr. Carsner was In town Saturday
and in speaking of the outlook for
the cattle business his views were de
cidedly optimistic. People have not
quit eating meats yet, Mr. Carsner
argues, nor are they likely to do so
In the future. This financial condi
tion will right itself in due time and
then we will have good times again
and the demand for good beef is
bound to Improve.
Mr. Carsner also runs several
thousand sheep on his ranges. He
has not shipped a car of cattle to
market this year and he believes he
will win by ,olding them.
Reports from the mountains In the
vicinity of Frezeout and Arbucklc
mountain, are to the effect that a
regular blizzard swept over that sec
tion last Thursday making much
trouble and discomfort for the sheep
men who are bringing their flocks
fro mthe summer ranges. Some of
the bands scattered in the storm and
considerable trouble was experienced
in getting them togo.her acarn. No
considerable losses were reported,
however.

MATSOX WIN'S OVER THYE
WRESTLING BOUT
IN
A good sized crowd of fans were
present at the pavilion Saturday
night to see the Thye-Matson match
which resulted a decision for Mat-
son at the end of the first canto
which lasted 38 minutes and from
which Thye emerged with a broken
rib which necessitated his withdrawal
from the contest and forfioture of
the match and the $1000 stake
money.
The match was evidently for blood
all the way through, there being no
indications of fake.
Thye, who is a favorite with the
Heppner fans, says he had the rib in
jured in a match at Spokane some
time ago. He expects to go to Bos
ton to have tho injury repaired and
says he will then be ready to take
Matson on for another match.
Henry Aiken, who is promoting
the matches here this season, says he
proposes to give the public a clean,
straight up sport program this win
ter with the best talent tho patron
age will justify.
Ho is now arranging for a match
between Jim Londas and Ad Sanlal,
two topnotchers, for which ho must
post a purse of $500.00, to bo put on
soon after Christmas.

TACOMA MEN ARE IOW BIDDERS
$38,745 FOR 13.7 MILES
County Hid, Third Ixw. S3
Cent
Per Yard Above
Tacomans
At their recent meeting in Port
land the Btate highway commission
awarded the contract to Moore & An-
aerson, or raeoma, ror putting a
macadam surface on the Lexington
Heppner section of the Oregon-Wash
tngton highway for the sum of $58
745. The distance to be surfaced Is
13.7 miles and the time limit Is fixed
at May 1st, 1922.
It is understood the contractors ex
pect to get on the Job without de
lay in order to complete the work
within the specified time limit.
County Judge Campbell and Com
missioners Bleakman and Davidson
were present at the meeting of the
commission and on behalf of Mor
row county submitted a bid for the
work but were outflgured by the Tac
oma men to the tune of 3 3 cents a
yard. Tho county, however, is no
doubt well satisfied with the result,
although some doubt Is being expres
sed among county officials as to whe
ther the firm from the north can
make good. The county bid was
third low, another Taeoma firm get
ting under the local bid. All Dic
ed up with work for the winteruool
gon contractors, it is understood,
were higher Vi the county bid as
most of the Oregon contractors are
pretty well loaded up with work for
the winter. All road work has been
suspended In Washington, so It Is
said, and this no doubt accounts for
the reasonable offers made by the
contractors from that state.

"HIE WILL GOME BACK"
IS SHEEPMEN'S SLOGAN
KVTniE OUTLOOK It RIGHT SAYS
EASTERN BUYER
Congratulates Western Men on Their
Iiulomiiitablo W ill to Over
come Difficulties
Charles J. Webb, r.f Philadelphia,
one of the best known wool men in
the United States, who Is now in.
Portland buying wool, is an optimist
on the busines situation. He be
lieves that business affairs will soon
be strongly on the up gradeand that!
the industry, which has suffered
keenly, will before long come inta
its ownagain, says the Oregonian.
"The most glaring fact that has
come to my net ice since I left Chi
cago is the indomitable will power
of the western man, and particularly,
the sheep herder and the man con
nected with the sheep business. It
makes no difference how hard they
have been hit andhow much money
they have lost, they all say the samo
thing: 'We will come back.' " said
Mr. Webb the other day.
"Tho psychology of the fact that
men all say, 'We will come back,'
produces a most wonderful uplifting
condition that I have never witnes
sed in any other part of the world.
"The bankers nrso seem to hava
traveled on a very broad gauge, and
are all willing to assist the men that
will come back. They are all going
forward with courage and optimlsim
which makes me proud to know that
I am connected with a business that
is conducted by such men.
"I once knew a man who had ner
vous prostration and got well when a
great many of the specialists had said
it was impossible. The underlying
reason for his recovery was that an.
eminent nerve specialist kept him
saying all I he time to himself, 'I will
get well I will get well.' It cost
him a lot of money for this advice
hut he got well just the same. A
great many so-called experts of the
disease said it. was Impossible. Now
this great slogan we hear everywhere:
I will come back to my mind wil
produce a cure for the disaster thai
has overtaken the sheep industry of.
tills country.
"After all a spirit of this kind U
worth more than real money becausa
one can lose moneyan d come back,
but If one loses the confidence In bin
own ability to come back, he has lout
everything.
"I congratulate the wool growers
and the bankers alike for their won
derful come-back qualities, which Is
the last analysis of what makes thi
country such a great nation.
"It Is my belief that our tro
are almost over and after a few In
termediate conditions, such as rail
road rates, rents, wages and Interest
take their proper places In tho defla
tion of tho nation, then the up-wave
will commence. After all, busines is
only a reproduction of nature in every
respect. It is like tho waves of tie
ocena. It commences to roll upward
until it gets so high and then breaks.
It, always has been so and It nlway
will be bo because It is natural.
'We have one lesson to learn.
More Important Hum any other parti
cular thing Is thrift and economy. W
must never again spend money as
fast or faster than wo make If, be
cause If we do, we will have thu
same troubles that we are facljiir
now. We must b arn to conserve our
wealth on tho upwave so that we will
have a cushion or an air brake to
fall back on when the wave break,
for break It will It Is Inevitable ai
the laws of gravitation.
"Again I congratulate tho rhe. p
men and their banking friends. I f
they have a collateral, Just as luntr
as the grass grows anil the watr
runs, which Is furnished by Ood Al
mighty, their collateral will come
back. "It is better than tho mortgage on
a factory because the factory may !
unable to run and the collateral i i
this case becomes a liability Instead
of an asset. Therefore, happy should
tin? man be who has his money in
vested In the sheep-growing busi
ness." New Theory.
