IF YOU WANT THE NEWS WHILE IT IS NEWS, READ THE HERALD. WE PRINT IT FIRST. LJ 1L S! iLJ 3 u i M VOLUME IX HKPPXKR, OREGON, TUESDAY, OCTOMI Iv 24, 102. First Period of Campaign RESPECTED PIONEER PASSES GAME tAW UIOtATOH FINED Morrow County Second in Wool End Next Saturday Evening! THE FIRST PERIOD WII.Ii CLOSE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 28 NEVER AGAIN SO MANY CREDITS TOH SUESCRIFTlOwS This is the last week of the first per iod and the last few days of this week "Will finish the period of the large credits In the Herald's big salesmanship cam paign. Never again, after Saturday, will : there he an opportunity t-u secure as many credits for the subscriptions as you receive in this the first period. j In spite of the fact that we told club I members in the paper and personally, many seem to thinks there will he extra , credit offers Riven later, so to those who hold back subscriptions we can only add that 'you will awaken after it is too late, for never again after Saturday will you receive as many credits for the sub scriptions as you have during the first period. No one has a wajl'k away fnr the Ford sedan, valued at $7ii4.S;j, neither is any one hopelessly beaten for a live worker could get into the campaign right now and win if they would devote the time to the work. .Just a fewj long term sub scriptions secured for any one of the contenders' would change the entire line up and crown a new leader. A little help volunteered now may be just the aid necessary to stem the tide of de feat, and turn into a sweeping1 victory for some deserving participant. Of course the race does not come to a close until Saturday, Nov. IS, but the winners are sure to be among- those club memlbers who make the best records this- week. It is not what has been done, or what will be done three weeks from now, but it is what is being done, right now this week that counts. The wise club mem ber is the one who sees the opportunuity today to pu.t into effect a plan of cam paign that will compel victory to perch on their standard. The crucial test is now at hand. If you eevr intend to do anything BIG in this race, DO IT NOW. Instead of be ing way down on the list make a spec ial effort to get a good reserve for the final stretch of the campaign. If you are in the race and want to win, you should start to work at onve and get busy after the subscription, for all it takes is the time to gut out find work for them and you cannot help hut he a winner in this campaign for if you do not win one of the prizes you will re ceive twenty per cent of the cash ym HEALTH BOARD FINDS HEPPEI HER PUBE Save fuel for next winter by refrain ing from boiling your drinking water and "t;ilv'cr straight." No lurking ty phoid tTerm plot: a.KUinst your health or life in the sparkiing ei-p from lltTpner's water mains when you turn the faucet to quench your thrist. Such, at least, is the report from the Oregon State Board of I-iealth just re ceived by ity Water Supuerintendent Pruyn, who recently sent a sample of water from the city distributing system to the state board for analysis. The report shows the water to be ail8 lutely pure as regards bacteria and bac teria coli, the dreaded typhoid germ. This condition, Mr. Pruyn explains is unusual as but few samples of water are found entirely free from the ordinary bacteria. A report and warning published here a couple of weeks ago by the city phy sician warned against the use of the water from the mains without boiling causing considerable uneasiness among citizens but this latest official report should re-assure Ib ppner people on tho water question and let the world know that our city water is :rcontaminated.

So impressed were the farmers with the obserwuions on the sta! ion that seven of them have ar ranged with 'I'otiiUy Agent 'alkins to try out diff'trcnt varieties on their farius, sowing three or four varieties, each on a measured acre. New Dust Treatment for Smut Twelve wheat growers tried the m w copper carbona te dust t real incut for smut this year on a measured acreage, for comparison wit h t ho eiistnina ry treatment, which is copper sulphate or formaldehyde in different Instances. The object hi view was to determine the ef ficiency of t lie former method in eon trol of smut, as there is no- question hut what much of the expense of seed treatment, and all wheat sown in east ern Oregon requires this treatment, will be greatly reduced if tihe dust method workH out satisfactorily. Results of the yen r's tests hIiowimI that there was a 100 perl cent stand on every field using the dust treatment. On areas where eo piper sulphate or forma'l dehydtt was used the stand was in near ly every instance damaged, because of seed injury during treatment. Tho average stand on the 11! farms was 100 per eont. Much of the difference in ef fectiveness in siniil control resulted from hick of uniformity in applying tin new treatment. George I'.uruslde of Hardnuin fount that hi Illu.estem treated by the new method contained but 1 per cent of smut, while his other fields had but about, all SO per cent stand and 5 Mi per cent smul.
