Spaniards Make Offer t Exchange
Mules for Something That Ha
More Musical Sound.
A little while ago It was reputed
that the army mule In France, inval
uable for transport, was making him
pelf obnoxious by his propensity to
bray when In close proximity to the
enemy. Ami now, according to ad
vices received by the National Piano
Manufacturers' association, the Span
iards arc anxious to dispose of their
mules to us and to obtain in return
riic.s and other musical instruments.
Evidently what Wordsworth calls
"tlui hard, dry see-saw of his horrible
bray" is no better relished by the
es!.e;ic consciousness of the Iberians
than by the valorous gentlemen of
Franco. It is doubtful whether even
sn implacnhle futurist in music like
Leo Ornstein or Arnold Selioeuberg
derives genuine satisfaction from the
student cantatas and blatant oratorios
of li e mule. Some cynics have de
tected a resemblance between the
voice of the bagpipe and the mule's
spontaneous lyricism, but this is a
libel.
With patience one can detect a
definite melody in the Scotch pil.rochs
and sirathspreys, whereas mule music
ltl:e the world in the making, is with
out form r.nd void. As long as Spain
Is not nt war she can afford to d:;nce
the fandrtntro and play the m.'int'olln.
When by the logic of events she Is
evept out of her neutrality into bel
ligerency and has to haul cannon and
Wiigoijs, site will wish she had the
mule. Philadelphia Ledger.

Popular Young People Married.
A pleasant surprise was given the
many friends of Eugene Penland of
this city and Mrs. Beatrice Hill of
Portland, when the news was given
out this week that this popular couple
were married July 29th last at As
toria. The wedding was performed by
Rev. W. D. Gordon at the Methodist
parsonage in Astoria.. Following the
cermony Mr. and Mrs. Penland spent
a short honeymoon at Gearhart, later
?oing to Portland, where Mrs. Pen
and remained until the opening of
'he fall millinery season when she re
turned to Heppner.
Their many friends unite with The
Gazette-Times in wishing for Mr. and
Mrs. Hill much happiness and prosperity.
Patriotic to Eat Coconuts.
Is coconut pie an essential? the Wall
Street Journal wants to know. No,
hut gas masks ure. It is a far cry
from coconut pie to gas masks, hut
we are enabled to indulge our appe
tites in the one and supply the other
through a single operation.
Cas masks contain a certain brand
of charcoal which is an absorbent of
poison gas, and it has been found that
the rind of coconuts, when burned, pro
duces a charcoal superior to all others.
For this reason the government has
placed the humble coconut on the list
of essential products and our friends
on the Island of Porto Rico are urged
to ship as many as they can.
When eating a piece of coconut pie
or any other delicacy containing coco
nut you are enabled to do so with an
easy conscience. The charcoal made
from the shell of the coconut you eat
may be saving the life of an American
Midler "somewhere In France.'! . .
Tommy Sheridan recently sold Lis
320-acre homestead In the Unit;

Winter Wheat.

has been asked to contribute 700,000
at res of winter wheat to the nation's
food store in 1919.
To get the best results from this
increased acreage it Is necessary that
he varieties best adapted to the
district in which they are sown be
used. These varieties by repeated
rials at experiment stations and on
representative farms have been
selected by the Qregon Agricultural
College farm crops department as
follows:
Wasco, Sherman, Jefferson, Gil
liam and Morrow counties Turkey
red.
These recommendations were made
in connection with head and grain
samples of each variety exhibited by
the College at the Sta'o Fair,
'auti'in against mixtures was em
;)!:nti;.ed in the placards.
Renewals of subscriptions to the
Gazette-Times are beginning to come
in and we hope that al! our delin
quent friends will come along now
promptly. We have quite a large
sum due on back subscriptions in the
aggregate, but to each individual
subscriber the amount is not large.
It Is the aggregate sum that we
desire. No better time than now to
do a good deed and make the editor
happy, besides Uncle Sam Bays we
must cut off all those not paid up by
November 1st. You do not wish to
be missed by not getting the paper.

Water Co., for whom he has been
working the past two years. lie

Alfalfa raisers up and down Wil
low creek are now gathering in their

yond to the mouth of the creek are

the winter.
Edna, the little five-year-old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. L.
Brown of lone, died late Friday
evening last and was buried at Hepp
ner on Saturday afternoon, Rev. II.
A. Noyes of the Federated church
conducting the funeral services. The
child was sick but a few days and
her ailment seemed to be something
that was not fully determined by the
attending physician, though there
was symptoms of diptheria. She
was taken with serious choking and
died from this cause. Early the past
summer Mr. and Mrs. Brown burled
another little girl who died from
drowning In Willow creek at Hepp
ner. They moved to lone shortly
after the Heppner fire and have boon
residing there since, where Mr.
Brown has been working.
lilg Sale of Horses and
Farming Outfit.
I. C. Cox, who has been farming
the John Her place for the past two
years, has decided to retire from
farming in this section and he will
therefore hold a public sale, in
charge of F. E. McMenamln, at the
Iler place on Friday, Oct. 11th. Mr.
Cox has accumulated a good outfit,
all of which is in first class shape,
and this will all go to the highest
bidder. His terms are cash on all
sums of $10 and less, and above this
amount approved notes will be
aken, one year's time being given at
S per cent interest. Keep the date
In mind and make your plans to be
here. Sale begins promptly at 1 p.
m., following a free lunch at noon.
Moving Wheat With Truck.
Carlson Brothers, big wheat farm
ers of the Gooseberry section, re
cently purchased from the River
Auto Co. at Icme, a 2 ton More
land truck and have been using the
machine to transfer their wheat
from the farm to the railroad. The
results they have obtained so far
have been very satisfactory. They
make two trips to town a day, a
distance of 17 miles, drawing 60
sacks of wheat at a trip. It takes
just three hours to make the round
trip over the roads 88 they are at the
present, so it can be seen that com
pared with horse transportation the
results are very flattering. To move
the same amount of wheat would
require the services of two 12-horse
teams with trail wagons, making a
round trip every two days. Besides
the truck requires but littlo feed in
the 3hapo of gasoline and motoi oh
The Carlson boys are satisfied with
their experiment and believe that the
truck is soon to take the place of the
horse and mule in Morrow county for
the transportation of farm products
to the railroad points. '
