IT PAYS TO ADVERTISA
Jim Huddleston, Rock creek sheep
king and ex-czar at the Heppner
branch depot, who was in town for
a few days last week, says he is now
convinced, beyond the shadow of a
doubt, ,that newspaper advertising is
all that the most enthusiastic adver
tising man ever claimed it to be but
at that he says it has got him into
a peck or two of trouble.
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.

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.
Mrs. Ralph Finley was in town this
morning for harvest supplies and ex
tras. Harvest is on at their ranch
with wheat making 18 bushels.

Tho recent cloudbursts, electrical
storms and heavy winds in (irant
county, did much more damage than
at first reported. 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.
