"The year 1016 was a splendid po u .i ..i o.v in OreTon, but not in the states f the Koiky ntouutains. Our large surplus from rather a large a..n-ge va disposed of at rather !.i;th prhes. In 1917 many people sthiutlated by the high prices pro cjied for the proceeding year's crop spent considerable sums of money to buy high priced seed and grow pota toes, although tins station advised beans and corn instead. This hap pened all over the I'nited States with the result of an abnormally low price and difficulty in marketing. This year according to precedent will be a year of small planting In Oregon. Travels and observations lu many sections Indicate that the plant ing m ill be small. There Is still time tn nlHnt some of the seed Dotatoes that are left and to make the planting 'cheaply because seed can be easily secured.

HOOD ICE CREAM 1 Pure -:- Delicious Refreshing Something Spcc'al Every Sunday ALL SOFT DrUNKS SERVED HERE THE VERY BEST THE PALM LOWNEY S CHOCOLATES BEST CANDIES It has been deemed impracticable to get the retail dealers to meet In this county to consider the question of extending the wheatless program to July 1. A majority of the counties of the State have gone upon a wheat less basis. The administration asks that permits be limited to foresters, sheepherders, and hospitals. There may be a few emergencies aside from these, but it is thought that nearly all people can come to the limit of a half pound of flour per week, unless en gaged In heavy manual labor. Quite a large amount of flour has been turned back, and more w ill be turned back to the dealers w ithin a few days. The county administrator has been unable to take up the matter of lim iting sales of flour with the retail dealers. He would like to hear from the dealers of the county as to whether they think it possible to go upon the basis which other counties are adopting. The situation Is very serious. What should Morrow Coun tv do about it? S. E. NOTSON, County Chairman. They Sny They Couldn't Possibly Live Without the Old Home Town Paper. The following letter was received his week from Henry F.

(HANDLER SIX $1595 Unusual Economy Without Sacrifice THE Chandler Six has always been famous for its economy of operationeconomy v.ithout the sacrifice of reserve power, without the sacrifice of readability, without the sacrifice of beauty of design. Thousands of Chandler owners all over America tell of gasoline mileage of fifteen to seventeen miles per gallon. Tire mileage of seven thousand to nine thousand miles per set of tires is commonplace among Chandler owners. Chandler owners and Chandler dealers say that the service upkeep of the Chandler car is much less than that of other good cars which they have owned or sold. m In the ownership of a Chandler Six you will possess a really great automobile great not merely from the standpoint of economy of operation and maintenance, but, even more important, from the standpoint of mechanical excellence and daily performance. The Chandler motor, designed and built in our own factory, distinguishes the Chandler chassis, marked throughout by its simplicity and its sturdiness. The life, pick-up, get-away and endurance of this motor will astonish you quite as much as it pleases you. Bodies of most attractive design and of unusual comfort are mounted on the Chandler chassis.

"The people will help themselves and the Government a lot by order ing their fuel now. With orders booked, dealers will be In position to make Intelligent estimates as to the wants of their patrons, and the ad ministration in turn will be able to secure proper fuel distribution. "The prospects for a shortage this fall are such that every citizen will do well to hoed the warning and not delay. Thousands, I am glad to say, have already got their fuel ordered and delivered. Others should do the same or chance heatless days later." Fuel week Is being observed throughout America on request of the National Fuel Administrator. Robert H.
