Bears Peel Bark For Sap.
Forest rangers report that bears
have done considerable damage to
young timber in tne Upper Wind
River Valley, on the Columbia Na
tlonalForest, by peeling the bark for
the sap. The trees attackd range
from four to twelve inches in diam
eter, and the damaged portiin is us
ually near the ground. Occasionally
Mr. Bear shins up a larger tree and
peels out the top and branches.
Douglas fir. white fir, western white
pine, and lodgepole pine are attacked
Indiscriminately; while western yel
low pine and hemlock occasionally
receive attention.
Ranger H. J. Lickel, of Guler,
Washington, has observed the peel
ing of bark on young growth by bears
for eight years. He says:
"Mr. Bear peels the trees only
when the sap is running, and his
reasons for doing so are very appar
ent. All sap contains more or less
sugar, of which bears are very fond
Therefore it is natural that he should
peel trees to get the sweet taste, Just
as his two-legged brother taps t'no
maple for the sugar.
"After stripping off the bark, the
bear licks the Inside if the bark and
also the peeled trunk of the tree until
the sap is gone. Then he hunts an
other tree. The damage done this
way ranges from mere scratches to
the peeling of several square feet of
bark.
"Sometimes the trees are com
pletely girdled, in which case they
soon die. In other cases, where the
girding Is not complete, the trees ex
ude a coat of pitch over the scar,
making fine fuel for the first fire that
comes alcng, which either burns the
tree down or leaves a 'cat-face.'
"The fresh wounds made by the
bears also offer a plint of attack for
fumrt and inescts."
In travelling one mile through sec
ond growth timber where bears were
plentiful, Ranger Lickel observed
mor than one hundred fresh scars
made by the animals in their quest
for sap.

PHELPS GROCERY COMPANY
THE RED CROSS NURSES OF EUROPt
ARE GIVING TOASTED
CIGARETTES TO THE BOYS
To anyone who doesn't know of the
wonderful advances that have been made
in the preparation of smoking tobaccos
in the last few years it may sound strange
to speak of toasted cigarettes.
Strictly speaking, we should say ciga
rettes made of toasted tobacco; the smok
ers of this country Will recognize it more
readily by its trade name, "LUCKY
STRIKE "the toasted cigarette.
The American Tobacco Company are
producing millions of these toasted ciga
rettes and these are being bought in
enormous Quantities throuoh th
tobacco funds conducted by the news
papers of the country and forwarded
through the Red Cross Society to the boys
in France.
This new Drocess nf fratinr tnU-mr,
not only improves the flavor of the tobacco
but it seals in this flavor and makes
the cigarettes keep better.
The Red Cross
have a cigarette for the wounded soldier,
as. in most instances, that is th fir
thing asked for.

New V. S. Army Rifle Shows Improve
ments Over Other .Models.
The United States rifle, model of
1917, commonly called the modified
Enfield, has now been tested in the
service of the Army a sufficient time
to warrant the assertion that it more
than justifies the claims made for H,
according to a statement authorized
by the Secretary of War.
The new rifle takes a .30-calIber
cartridge, which has the advantage
over the British Enfield of being rim
less. It has been found that unless
rim cartridges are fed through the
magazine uniformly with the rim of
the top cartridge ahead of the rim of
the one immediately below, jams are
likely to occirr.
The model of 1917 has an over-all
length of 46.3 inches; a total weight
including oiler and thong case and
bayonet of 10 pounds and 5 ounces.
The breech mechanism is of the old
bolt type.
Junior Four-Minute Men Will Aid
Campaign for Third Liberty Loan.
Plans have been completed for the
organization of "Junior Four-Minute
Men" in every Bchool in the country.
According to the Division of Pour
Minute Men of the Committee on
Public Information, bulletins special
ly prepared for school children will
be sent during the third Liberty loan
campaign for distribution by super
intendents to all schools In the Uni
ted States. Addresses will be pre
pared from the material in these bul
letins just as Yegulur Four-Minute
speakers ii motion-picture houses
prepare their own speeches from bul
letins supplied by the Government.
In each school the children submit
ting the best speeches are to deliver
them in public. According to plans
the boy or girl awarded first prize is
to get a certificate from the United
States Government as a Junior Four
Minute Man.
I'xe of Soldiers a Guards for Indus
trial Plant Is Not Recommended.
A memorandum made public by
the War Department concerning the
use of armed guards about industrial
plants contains the following:
"The soldier in training who has
offered his life for the defense of
country should not sacrifice his effec
tiveness by performing police duty In
the protection of property back of the
lines. This is the outy of the citizen
at home.'
"The theater for operations for
armed soldiers is the battlefield of
Europe. Each civilian should aid
his country by acting as a guard for
the detection and prevention of intri
gue, deceit, and all the familiar
stealthy operations of the enemy In

A WOMAN'S BACK
The Advice of This Heppner Woma
Is of Certain Value.
Many a woman's back has many
aches and pains.
Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys' fault.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills are
so effective.
Many Heppner women know this.
Read what one has to say about It:
Mrs. H. Hughes, Court St., Hepp
ner, says: "For about a month my
back ached and throbbed so badly at
times that I could hardly stand the
pain. The way my kidneys were act
ing was gtvlng me a lot of distress.
I had taken only a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills when I noticed
a big change. My back felt stronger
and my kidneys acted more regularly.
One boK of Doan's permanently cured
my trouble and since then I have en
joyed the best of health.
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
cured Mrs. Hughes. FosterMUbura
