Morrow County is undoubtedly one of the greatest agricul tural sections of the Northwest today.' As the 1916 harvest sea son is drawing to a close it is apparent that there has been raised over $2,000,000 worth of grain. This is an estimate that has been made bv wheat buvers who should come nrettv near tn , . 1 knowing. It makes us feel good to know we are living in a country that produces as docs Morrow ennntv. Wo linvo a liio-li class lot of fanners and they are improving their methods every eai. iney are learning irom experience, let there are many things which the farmer would like to know that lie cannot know under present conditions. The work of the county agents in other counties of the state is proving successful. The agent is the organizer who works out problems of the scientific nature which the farmer does not have time to delve into.

The organized work of adioinin counties will be the means of saving their crops. It will only be history repeat ing itself. Kansas and other slates have profited by their ex perience and we should not have to learn that way. Morrow ounty ought to have a county agriculturist. t-'i V. P. Hill.

Mrs. J. B. Sparks and Muriel Mc carty were passengers on the special last Friday night to attend the Round-Up. The Women's Federated Mission ary Society will meet Tuesday Octo ber 3rd, at two-thirty at the Mrs. W. K. Pruyn's homo. Topic, "War and the Kingdom.'" Mrs. E. D. Brown, Pres. Jesse O. Turner was transacting business in Heppner a few hours on : 1 T 01 ' - 18 0Ul & Wednesday. He returned to his pamphlet containing among other things, the following signifi home in Sand Hollow in the evening, cant announcement: "Farmers, Attention! As you will have a sows from Nebraska four or five years ago. Diversified farm ing, with live stock and the feeding of the crops on the farm as its basis, is the only true road to prosperity. One of the most successful farmers in Clackamas County a banker-farmer at that stated a few days ago that he never sold a pound of hay or grain off his farms no matter what the price might be. When the farmers of this country generally adopt this policy, farming will become a profession, not a mere drudgery. There is no other profession in the world today which has the need of so much brains and the chance to use them as has the farmer." J M WE SHOULD AWAKE TO DUTY. ! The United States is held, at the present time, in the clutch of one of the hottest political battles, if not the hottest ever ugeo. mere are great issues at stake, national questions in another two months will either be approved or rejected by the voters of the Republic. Likewise will the administration of four years of Wilsonian policies be ratified or denounced. Every true citizen should feel a keen interest in the campaign.

In Morrow county there are hundreds of voters who have not registered. After another week the reoistrniion 1mnL- will be closed. There are only a few days left in which the tardy ' ones may awake to their full dtuy of citizenship and prepare to cast their vote on the men and measures at the November elec tion. Jt will be one election that will stand out in the history of the United States. Every voter should participate. i-i In passing, three rousing cheers for the 1916 Pendleton Hound-Up, Happy Canyon and Jackson Sundown, fl.n mnf prominent Indian in the world today. i THE ARMORED TANK AND THE CORRESPONDENTS. The war correspondents are having a env timo with the new British armored motor cars. Zoology is beggared in the scrambles for similes. The new vehicles cover the .round lit. caterpillars, they leap trenches like kangaroos, they lumber over the ground like elephants, they rip away obstructions like the horned rhinoceros. When it comes to giving an idea of their general appearance, they can be said to resemble nothing sn mucn as an ichthyosaurus, which is convincing if one grants the premise that a war correspondent knows what an ichthyosaurus looks like. The trouble about this embarassment of riches in the way of vivid similes is that it leaves the reader horribly confused. The more accounts ho reads and the more similes In-- tries tn nu. similate, the more confused he becomes. Trying to assemble the characteristics of all the animals mentioned i "Tl Alio nnm. posite creature is utterly bewildering. The beast in Revelation is nothing in comparison.

It also will be noted that exnerts exneet. tho tnnV in nti(i lm war; and it is hard to see how, on the basis of the dispatches, these mechanisms can be stopped anywhere short of Berlin. They recall so many other devices that were going to end the war. The giant howitzer, the submarine, the Fokkor warplane, the gas attack all these were as invincible in their day as the tank appears to he today. That hostilities should still rtnntinno is almost unbelievable. Spokesman-Review. t-t Possibly some of those neonle who want, tn nrltimao thn TVii.. - I l " - ' ' v.v.jv HJV J.'
