Mr. Huddleston was in town some two months ago looking mighty woe begone and low and being an old friend of the Herald man, he poured his tale of trouble into our sympa thetic ear: "I want to get married," confess ed Jim, "and I have reached the point where I don't caro a hang who knows it. Can you do anything to help me out?" We told Jim that we could adver tise for a wife for him and he grab bed at the idea like a. chicken going after a grasshopper; or a rooster go ing after a chicken, or something. He outlined thfl kind of a lady that he thought would please him and sc exalted his mental state that it came out of him in rhyme. We put it in the ad just as he told it to us and sent it forth to a waiting world. Last Thursday we met Jim on the street. "Hello, Jim, does it pay to advertise?" we asked. "You said it," replied Jim, beaming. "Oh, boy! you should see the letters I am get ting, hundreds of 'em, and pictures Say, partner, you ought to see the peaches, and the ah, well, the per simmons. I have by room walls and ceiling covered with the peaches and a cord of persimmons stacked under the table. The postmaster at Lone Rock is going to resign because the mail is so heavy and " (lwe a troubled look faded the beam) "and there isn't a woman in the Lone Rock country will speak to me. Say I am stuck up and want to import some city woman for a wife. But the worst of it is," continued Jim, "there's so many of 'em that I can't make up my mind which one to choose, so I am no farther along than I was before,' and the troubled look grew deeper. Jim had a Portland paper in his hand and as he paused in his storj his eye rested on an Item to the ef feet that Mayor Baker Is to act as a judge at the bathing beauty show next week. He read the article and a happy smile drove away the troubled look. "Tell you what I'll do," he said "Boon as George Baker gels through with this bathing beauty job I'll hire him to come out and help me pick out one of the peachy pictures as the perfect woman just such as I de scribed to you for the ad. He ought to bo able to qualify as an expert when that bathing bunch gets through with him." TWO JOSHERS MEET Dr. McMurdo has evolved a new scheme for fixing his fees for. pro fessional services. Paul Hendrix, foreman and fish editor in the Her ald office, who enjoyed tho luxury of getting out of work several hot days by being sick following his fishing trip with Peter Prophet and Elmer Albee, called up tho doo the other morning and asked what his bill was. "What's your telephone number," asked the medical man. "Main 13," replied the disciple of old Ike Wal ton. "Then your bill is just $13," came over the wire. "Say, Doc," Paul countered back, "we are going to have the phone number changed to Main 5. Can't you amend your bill to fit the new number?" But the doctor hung up and ended the conversation. Mrs. M. L. Curran and Mrs. Fred A. Farrior wer(e hostesses at a de lightful bridge party at the Curran home last Tuesday afternoon when about forty guests were present to enjoy the happy occasion. Honors went to Mrs. Alva Jones and Mrs. J. B. Calmus. Mrs. May Case, deputy in county clerk's office, is on the sick list. Different! Persons who are bothered by bores in trains and on boats are recommend ed to try the following method of squelching unsought conversation: A student traveling in England and wishing to make up for lost time by reading was'very much annoyed by the man opposite, who insisted on keeping the conversation afloat. He was deter mined to exhaust every possibility of fered by the weather. 'The grass Is very green, isn't it?" Inquired the would-be conversational ist, cheerfully. "Yes," said the student, savagely; such a change from the red and blue grass we've been having lately." Unfortunate. 'One night last week Dub Sockett came home from soine'rs at about two o'clock In the morning," related Dug filfferdang of Clapboard Springs. "After some jowering his wife up and shot htm b'ew. he wouldn't tell whur he'd been at." "I reckon she's mighty sorry by this time?" returned 'Lije Lazzenberry. "You betcha ! Now he's dead, and can't tell." Kansas City Star. Your Business Career You might as well make up your mind at the beginning of your business career that you will tie up closely to some good bank.

Save M Th oney on resiling Bills CARBONATE TREATMENT SUCCESS Checks on tho results of copper carbonate treatment tests for con trol of wheat smut in this county and in other places have shown that the dry treatment will control smut a swell as formaldehyde or blue stone, according to County Agent Morse. These results are so general that this method of smut treating can be said to have passed the ex perimental stage. The advantages of using the dry treatment over the wet will undoubt edly cause it to be very widely used this fall. The saving in the amount of seed to sow, the better stands ob tained, the fact that the dry treated seed can be sown in the dust and treated any time after harvest makes the use of this method very desira ble Arrangements have been made by the Farm Bureau through the coun ty agent to have copper carbonate handled by dealers in the county. The t-o hardware stores at Heppner, Barnett's store at Lexington and Bert Mason's store at lone will han dle the aterlal at from 28 to 30 cents per pound, depending on the quantity purchased and contingent on changes in wholesale prices. The quality of material is important and farmers should insist on it containing at least 50 per cent metallic copper and being fine enough to pass through a 200 mesh screen. Those planning on using tnn , method of treating are advised to get j their orders in for it at once as the j quantity of the material of good . grade is rather limited and it is pos sible that there, will not be enough to supply the demand later in the fall.

Nearly every day for a week, wind, a deluge of rain, violent thunder storms and heavy hail visited parts of that county. Tho IJayvillo section has probably suffered the most, says tho Mini Mountain Eagle: I.asl Friday there was a heavy cloudburst down tho South Fork. Thin was particularly destructive to the home of J. Camp bell Martin; and Sunday the per formance was repeated and Mr. Martin's home was ruined. Every thing was washed away, the angry waters coming into his house. Ac companying the waterspouts or cloud bursts there was a heavy wind. On Friday thlB wind was so heavy that It twisted and uprooted nearly 200 big Cottonwood trees along the val ley between tho Cummlngs ranch and Dayvllle, Sunday this was re peated, again, and It seemed like all the fury of the elements were turn ed loose on a mission of vengeance. The storm was the most violent from the Cummlngs place down to the ranch of Munroo and McHaln, and extended Into the Fossil country. Nearly every dry gulch carried down a water fpout and In several places the gravel was washed down the highway and In other places it was filled villi rocks, debris and gravel.
