GOOD BY TO THE GRAIN SACK. Never in the history of nations has a problem presented it self so exclusively to the fanner. Europe is engaged in a des perate war. She is teeming with millions of people waiting to he fed. Her workers are on the battle field. This great country of ours must step into the breach and supply her with food. This year our fanners are given an unheard of opportunity to benefit themselves and their fellowmen. More land must be planted to grain than ever before and the fanner will receive good prices for his grain. But he must learn that an increased grain acreage means an increased capacity and he will find that storage of grain in sacks is no longer the proper method. Bulk storage for progressive farmers and growers of diver sified grains is far in advance of the sack storage. The grain sack family is dwindling the grain sack race is dying out. The reason is that there is no longer any good and sufficient reason for its continuance. "Why do we need grain sacks ! To hold the grain, of course, but the method certainly belongs to times less progressive than the present. The grain sack does the work; it holds the grain, but it does it awkwardly, expensively and not always well. Any container that is good for use only one time is waste ful. Millions of dollars are spent every year for apple boxes for barrels and tubs and crates of all kinds but these expenses cannot very well be avoided. For example, apples are packed in boxes which hold a bushel. If they were packed in larger containers, there would be waste from the crushing of the fruit, and the consumer would be required to purchase a larger quan tity than he could conveniently use before spoiling. In the case of a commodity like wheat, the consumer does not care about the container; the consumer seldom sees the wheat what Jie sees is the flour and in the cities, often only the baked loaf. The only object of the wheat sack, therefore, is to provide a means of getting the grain to market. Two-bushel sacks cost 12 to 15 cents each and are seldom used more than once. "We have, therefore, a situation where the farmer spends five per cent or more, on the average, of his net profit on the container which he must have to market it. And remember, please, that this five per cent comes straight out of the profit. In some lean years it represents the whole profit; frequently, it represents half or one-fourth of it. Aside from the cost, sacks have many other disadvantages. They provide no protection from rats nor from fire. They are liable to burst at any time and allow the contents to waste. Handling them is hard heavy work. The farmer who handles his wheat in sacks handles it at a big expense for labor. There is first cost of sacking the newly threshed grain. Then comes the cost of loading wagons, trans puliation to the railroad, unloading and loading onto cars. In contrast with this slow and expensive system, note tlx. quickness, convenience and economy in handling grain by tin elevator, system. The grain is loaded from the thresher automatically hit wagon boxes and hauled to the elevator. The v;mn drive right into the elevator, dumps its load, and is done no hand ling at all, no lifting heavv sacks, no unloading, no stacking the sacks on the station platform just load the wagon by letting the wheat flow into it, drive to the elevator, dump the wagon, stud drive back. Figuring in saving of sacks and labor, an elevator will pay for itself in three to five seasons. This is a conservative esti mate and many elevators have paid for themselves in 'two years, However, if the elevator pays for itself in three seasons, it is evident that it represents an investment which pays a dividend or ;.J 1-3. j There is a further profit which frequently pays for the elevator in a single season and this is the profit which comes from a better price obtained bv holding the grain for a rise in market. "We had a wonderful example of this during the past few months. Mighty few farmers have cashed in on all the long price thev should have received for their grain because, having no way to store it, they sold early, before the price went mi. Conditions with last year's crop were, of course, abnormal but every year the price of grain goes up a few weeks after har- " .1 i J ( "til 11 ...

Eliminating the sack will make for better marketing facilities and better prices as well Sheepman will do well to attend the demonstration classes which will be conducted in this city next week. Coming on Saturday, February, 24, makes it doubly convenient as that is regular shipping day anyway. Local Elks will celebrate Washington's birthday in a fitt ing manner. It will look good to see the old town dressed up a little. Sensations have been out-sonsa-tioned and motion pictures have nearly gone the limit in their realism if criticisms of the big Luuin War film "The Nation's Peril," are a cri terion. From every corner after the private showings of the picture there has come a volume of wonderful praise, not only for the magnitude of the production, the stupendity of the scenes, the evident utter disre gard for expense, but for the treatise which lias been accorded this timely subject of the hour, preparedness and the hyphenated American. . For the past six months, the Lubin players, a corps of camera men, scen ic artists, carpenters, with their as sistants, and an army of "supers," the onemy and the defenders, under Di rector George Terwilllger of the Lu- bin forces have been at work at New- ort, Rhode Island, in the makins jf this masterpiece and for almost every minute of that time there has been a constant marching and count er-marching of troops, the rattle of artillery, the whirl of ueroplane propellors, the dull boom of battle ship guns, or one thing or another to Keep the inhabitants of tha otner wise staid and fashionable summer resort on the qui vive. From its smallest tender to its largest battleship and from its most humble cadet to Secretary JosephUB Daniels seemingly every man and ship of the United States Atlantic squadron has done duty toward the making of this picture. Wit lite beginning of summer the Lubin players upon their arrival at Newport began the building of a set tlement of frame houses which in a short time were made tenanti'.ble and in these houses the group of v.liich was christened "Lubin Villa," ths players lived until with the on scene remaining, that of the destruc tion of a town by artillery fire, the guns were trained upon the little Village and every standing wall rax- Then the Director sought realism in the scenes of the navy at its des tructive work of bombardment. Ac cordingly a ship was bought and sent to sea and with it as a target, the battleship Utah, and the U. S. S. Pat terson and U. S. S. Yankton played for the camera and their big guns soon sent the "Movie" as they termed the craft, to the bottom. Other features of the "The Nation's Peril" are the appearance of Secre tary Daniels, Admirals winslow and Fletcher, Vice Admiral Mayo, Captain Sims of the Torpedo Flotilla, Captain Willoughby of the Navy, Aerial Corps, the War college, the Naval Training Station at Newport, thous- ands of sailors, and marines of the Atlantic squadron, soldiers of Rhode Island and Massachusetts as the hos tile army, the wireless station at work, mine explosions in the harbor, etc. Earl Metcalfe and Ohmi Hawley of the Lubin Players are to be seen in the leading roles supported by Arthur Matthews, Herbert Fortier, William H. Turner and Eleanor Barry. Manager Sparks ahs secured "The Nation's Peril" for one presentation to Heppner audiences at the Star cheartre for one night only, Wednes day, Feb. 21. Artesian Well At Butter Creek. Last Saturday the first artesian ,vater to be found in the Butter creek alley was tapped at a depth of los; han 100 feet on the Lon Watteu larger place. Mr. Wattenburger has sd the C. E. Lewis drill working a! .0 place on a well for the past week 1 ey went for many feet through e hardest formation yet found in '.-.! valley and when they broke into ?ter rock Saturday noon, the water f.an to gusli from tho hole. A flow of about 15 gallons per nute is now coming from the well Tr. Lewis believes that by drilling irepcr into the soft formation the low will bo materially increased. This is the first artesian water tc found east of Lexington, whert Newlon wpII wps strucl'. about tw cars ago. The Wattnburgor well :n the valley much below' the level the dry benches adjoining so here is some doubt if the pressure 's sufficient to raise the water, to Vo top of a well on the bench. It Is probable, however that an at '.empt will be made soon to. drill a test well on the bench. Echo News. Replevin Case Is Won By Pliiltiff The case of Wilburt Knigliten of Esghtmile Morrow county, against Tlios. Ledgerwood of Albee. for the replevin of a horse, came up for trial 'n Judge McReynold'R court in Pilot Rock Monday. From evidence pre sented it appears that Ledgerwood was the innocent purchaser of horse which had been taken up from off the range in Northern Grant county and which was the property of the plaintiff, Mr. Knighten. Mr Ledgerwood In turn sold the horse to another party and the recovery asked was for the value of the horse $1 00, and the costs of the suit. Plaintiff was represented y Attorney I. M. Schannep of Pilot Rock, and the defendant had for counsel, Col. J. H. Raley of Pendleton. The case aroused considerable local interest and a large number of specators were present during the hearing The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff. Pilot Rock Record.
