Mr. and Mrs. Silas Wright and Jack McCullough returned Tuesday evening from a trip to the Green horn mountains, where they went to Inspect the Dan Stalter mine, in which they are Interested. Accord ing to Mr. McCullough the mine is making a splendid Bhowing this summer, and ore samples brought back by him show good values In gold, silver and copper. There has been a force of men at work most ot the summer under the direction of Dan Stalter, president and general manager of the com pany, but owing to the scarcity of labor In that part, of the country for the putting up of the hay crop, the crew was given a layoff to assist the farmers. The property has been put on a producing basis and It Is expected that several cars of ore will be shipped out this fall. A number o( Morrow county people are Interested In this mine.

FOOD NOTES. The present outlook Indicates that there must be greater economy practiced in the use of sugar by some people or there will be many who will be without sugar in any quantity. It is selfish and unpatri otic to use sugar extra vagently. If every person in the United States who uses coffee or tea would use a half teaspoonful less in each cup, there would be a saving of 1,700,000 pounds per day. The administration urges more canning without sugar. The fruit may not suit the taste quite so well to put the sugar in when it is used later, but the user will feel better about it if he realizes that he has helped the fighting nen to win the war. There should also be more drying of fruits and vegetables. Send to the Department of Agricul ture for Farmers' Bulletin No. 984 or to the Agricultural College for bulletin on drying of fruits and vegetables. These bulletins will give you a lot of very valuable informa tion. A cafeteria in Wasatuiji n, which feeds 2000 persons itutly, uses only one pound of sugar for each 120 meals. The allowance now is one pound for 45 meals. So, this record Is far inside the limit and shows what can be done, If people try. The 50-60 rule as to flour is still effective, except that retail dealers and mills may sell graham and whole wheat flour made before August 1st without substitutes, if they first send a statement of the amount of such flour In stock to the Food Administrator. In writing for permits, do not wait until the last minute and writo a rush letter. The county food ad ministrator has no help, and it takes a large part of Ms time to look after the work; hence it is not possible to always send permits by return mail. S. E. NOTSON, County Food Administrator. Heppner, Oregon, Aug. 14, 1918. To our Friends and Patrons: We take this method of thank ing our friends and patrons for their many favors and kindnesses so cheer fully extended to us during the last thirteen years. . Time will not per mit us calling to see you all for we expect to be in tlr City about 10 days longer and "during this time our doors are wide open and trust that we may have the pleasure of seeing you all before leaving the City. We love Morrow county and shall consider Heppner our .home' regard less of where we locate. Our hearts hang heavy with sorrow for all those who have so recently lost their homes and prop erty by fire, and trust that all will soon rebuild and make Heppner a real City, Bigger and Better than ever. Again thanking you one and all and assuring you of our gratitude and wishing you Happiness, Pros perity and Good Luck, we bid you good bye. Joe Wilkins, GussieC. Wilkins. Returns From the East. Harry Duncan, head of the dry goods department at Thomson Bros.' store, returned Sunday evening from an extensive trip through the East. Mr. Duncan went from here to Atlantic City where he attended the convention of the Elks' lodge. From there he visited various points In New York and New Jersey and on his return journey visited Chicago, Rochester, and Butte. While in Minnesota he visited for a short time with Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Vaughn who are spending the summer in that state. It was there that Mr. Duncan first heard of the disastrous fire which scarred us up some on the 4th. He had a delightful trip and says the only drawback was the extreme heat, the worst of which he exper ienced at Chicago. At that place It was as high as 104. Fire Company Proves Worth, In the small fire which started In the building just north of the post office Friday afternoon, Heppner's new fire department fully demon strated its efficiency. But a few minutes after the alnrm was given the cart was at the fire, the connec tion made at the hydrant and the water was playing on the fire. There was no hitch or bobble and every thing went as though regulated by clockworks. The building is occu pied by Mrs. Wilhelmina Macy who conducts o cleaning and pressing business, and the fire was caused by the overheating of a metal chim ney which goes up through the second story. Little damage was done. Stork Shipped. F. M. Beck shipped two cars of cattle to Portland from the local yards Wednesday. Today V. Gentry Is shipping tour cars ot sheep to Chicago, and Bob Stanfield Is ship ping four cars of sheep an three ofi catue to tue same inamet.

Navy, stationed at Seattle and he says It is a fine life. Mrs. Cochran has been visiting relatives at Grants Pass, North Yakima and Seattle, and will probably accompany her bus band to Seattle when he returns to duty. Pig Is Money Maker. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turner re cently butchered a pig, which weighed, when dressed, 140 pounds. Four months ago this same pig weighed but 5 pounds. In the four months the feed for the porker cost but $5.00. With pork now selling at 35 cents per pound, it is easy to see that this pig was a money maker for the Turner family.

E. F., France. firemen Want Huts and Coats. At a business meeting of the fire oapartment Monday evening it was decided to ask the City Council to purchase six rubber hats and coats for the department. These are ncttdwl as protection for the nozzle men. who are forced to be in the water a great part of the time when fighting fire. Another request to be made on the council will be that they pass an .ordinance prohibiting the parking of automobiles within 25 fuel ul the fire hydrants. When cars am? parked nearer than 25 feet to tiie hydrant they interfere in getting the hose connected. Military Police Active. The Heppner Detail, 4th Company. Oregon Military Police, are a busy biuu-ii of fellows now days. Besides their regular patrol work, which thoroughly covers the county, they are now engaged in keeping the fanners with hands, and are active m keeping down all labor troubles and disputes. The Military Police is a muc-b needed organization and the fact that they are here nnd prepared to meet any emergency that may arise does away with a great deal of uneasiness on the part of the farm ers, and tends to a great extent to subfile those who might be inclined to practise any pro-Gerniau activities. 15 EARLY HOR-" ROW CO. PIONEER J. M. White Came to Tlds County In 1883 Was One of Lexington's Leading Citizens. J. M. White pioneer resident of Lexington, died Friday, August 9th, 1918, after a lingering illness cover ing a period ot many months. The funeral services were held from the White home in Lexington, being in charge of Rev. J. L. Jones, and In terment was in I. O. O. F. cemetery at Lexington. Mr. White was born in Boone county, Arkansas, February 18, 1860, and departed this life at Lex ington, Oregon, August 9, 1913, at the age ot 68 years, 8 months and 21 days. He was of pioneer par entage, his parents John and Miner va White following the frontier as far as Arkansas, where the early part of the deceased's life was spent. After getting his education in the public 'schools and Mountain Home Academy of Baxter County, Ark., Mr. White, with his family, moved to Oregon in April, 1884, stopping at Milton. They spent but one year at that place, after which Mr. White took up a homestead near Lexington, which was then a part of Umatilla county, and upon this and other possessions which he had acquired from time to time in that locality, he had resided' continuously, bending every energy to the improvement of his home and the community in which he lived. Besides his chief occupation of farming, which made him one of the prosperous farmers ot the Lexington country, he filled the offices of constable, recorder and Justice of the peace continuously for twenty or more years, discharg ing his duties with fairness, faithful ness and magnanimity. Always In terested in education, he was un tiring in his efforts for the better ment of his community and was re spected and honored, by his friends and neighbors. Mr. White was married to Sarah C. Nichols oh October 14, 1880, and to this union five children were born. They all survive him, and are: Mrs. L. S. Gilbreath, of Dayton, Wash., Mrs. J. E. Gentry, Claude J. White, and Gerald White, all of Lexington, Oregon. Now Lieutenant Phelps. Marshall Phelps, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Phelps of this city Is now a lieutenant in the flying section of the Signal Corps, the commission being given him as a reward for exceptional ability and marksman ship with a machine gun. His par ents have received word that he is now in France, and he Is doing his best to put the -.un in ah propi.r place. Marshall's rise in military life has been very rapid, having enlisted In the Marine Corps less than a year ago. Because of his exceptional ability with a machine gun he was transferod from the Marine Corps to the aviation section and sent to Florida for training. There he again demonstrated his ability and his work as an air gunman won for him the lieutenancy. He was chosen is machine gun operator by a pilot, said to be the most daring aviator iu the Florida camp. Attending Liberty Loan Conference. E. M. Shutt, Morrow county chair man for the 4th Liberty Loan drive, went to Portland Wednesday morn ing, where he Is attending the con ference of county chairmen which is being held at the Multnomah hotel In that city today. The drive for the 4th loan will start September 29th and will continue three weeks. The quota for this county is ex pected to be placed at nearly double that of the 3rd loan, which was $142,000, and Mr. Shutt is expectlug to work hard to put it over. How ever, he is confident that Morrow county will go over the top with time and money to spare. Sunday afternoon Mr. Shutt will board a. boat for Santa Moniea, Calif , for a visit with his family who have been spending thfl sutiu;,er there. He will return to Heppner in about three weeks. Codling moth worms are now at tacking apples In many parts of Ore gon, rendering thousands of dollars worth of fruit worthless. A thor ough spraying of the fruit with lead arsenate, one pound dry or two pounds paste to 50 gallons of water, is recommended by he O. A. C. en tomologists. Worms of all sizes from the newly-hatched caterpillar up, are now going into the fruit, and the spray will do much to lessen the Injury. Because of the unusual attack of worms it may be necessary to repeat the spray in about threo weeks.
