Thais the Question which will come up for thorough discussion among farmers and farm experts at tne meetings which will be held in Port land. Saturday, June 21. The meetings will be held by the Marketing and Rural Organization of the State of Oregon, which co-operates with the Oregon Agricultural Colleee. the Bureau of Markets. States Relation Service and the Uni ted States Department of Agricul ture. During the past year there has been a considerable number ot com plaints made by farmers of Eastern Oregon that the elevators were not proving financially successful. Hence an investigation will be made. It is a fact that a few farmers in Morrow county will this year revert to the old method of handling grain in sacks. In this regard the U. S. Bureau of Markets and the Bureau of Organi zation of the Oregon Agricultural College have made a survey, visiting most of the elevators in Eastern Ore gon. An analysis of the elevator busi ness shows that with the additional service rendered, most of the eleva tor companies cannot operate on a $1.00 storage rate and pay expenses and a dividend on stock. It now ap pears that many of them will have to increase their storage rates and also the amount of grain handled if they will be able to avoid financial loss during the coming season, coming under the observance of the coming under the observanct of the survey is uniformity in charging for storage and cleaning. As many as fourteen different methods are now used in Eastern Oregon, when mar keting experts say there should be but one. Further investigation shows that half the elevators are under capital ized if they expect to pay for their plants from the proceeds derived from the sale of shares of stock. All these problems concerning the bulk handling of grain will be work ed out in the meeting to be held in the Multnomah hotel in Portland Saturday, June 21. Elevator mana gers and directors are urged to at tend these meetings. BRIGHT DAYS FOR WOOL GROWERS. The high price and steady demand for wool has demonstrated that ac cumulated war stocks are not flood ing the market as predicted and that it will be a long time to come before the world has enough wool on hand, to supply normal needs. There is every indication that the wool industry has bright days before it and farmers, as well as stockmen, putting in flocks will be well paid for it. Building activity gives promise of taking on renewed vigor in Heppner this summer. With the work begin ning soon on the three-story hotel building and the Elks' Temple this town will present a busy aspect. A large number of other business structures are in contemplation and under way as well as a number of new residences. FARMER AND MERCHANT. The farmer should not lose sight of the fact- altogether that his local merchant is here to serve him 12 months out of the year and carry him with liberal credit when crops are poor and the farmer has met with hard luck. The large mail order houses of the city are making inroads into the business of the local mer chant to an alarming extent because they have led the farmer to believe he can buy a little cheaper by send ing away. We receive a catalogue regularly from one of the Portland mail order houses and we find that price for price, and the quality of the goods considered, the local merchant can meet the competition if he is given the same deal as the farmer accords the mail order house. Every citizen of Morrow county should feel the same interest in the progressive welfare of this county. The farmer has done well. The merchant has done well. But proba bly better results would come if there were better feeling and under standing between ihem. The loeal merchant tills a big in this community. Its needless to say that money once sent out of the county in mail orders is gone forever. This nas been repeated over and over and is pretty generally acknowledged. The farmer will say, "every man for .limself and the devil take the hind most" because he has come to the conclusion that he has been gouged in the past. This feeling, however general it may be among our farm ers, is unfortunate to say the least. If there was ever a time when it was highly imperative that local mer chant and farmer get together it is right now. Your home town mer chant claims he can meet the mail order prices. Why not give him a chance to prove that claim, Mr. Far mer, and then if there is any doubt in your mind, give the home man the benefit of the doubt. Heppner Crops Good. I J. D. French ot Heppner Is located at the Imeprial for a few days after delivering several carloads of cattle ' at the Portland stockyards.

Already this month the Morrow County Creamery Co. has shipped to Portland a surplus of 3218 pounds of butter, according to Manager Claude Cox. To this amount will be added another thousand pounds by the end of the week. After supplying all lo cal demand and making such for eign shipments the Morrow County Creamery Company gives one a pretty good idea of the volume of business it is now doing. In fact the growth of the creamery has been fast since Mr. Cox took over its management. It is an industry that means much to Morrow county and the farmers are showing their appreciation of that fact by giving it such liberal support. On the other hand it provides a good home market for butter fat. U 1 1--, " .l.' mm ijli lip fSJ. LI "Why, Mamma, you have two sight glasses just like Daddy's'' Daughter is surprised to discover that Mother is wearing "two-sight" glasses glasses that give cor rection both for far and near vision. Mother's friends, also, will be surprised, because there is not the slightest trace of line or seam to distinguish them from single vision glasses. Of course, Mother's glasses are KRYPTOKS (pro nounced Crip-tocks). They are the only bifocals without line, seam or hump. fRYPTOK" .jL GLASSES JLY. THE INVISIBLE BIFOCALS combine NEAR and FAR vision in one lens. Through the lower part you can read the smallest" print, through the upper part you can see distant objects with equal clearness. Their surfaces are clear, smooth and even, which give them the appearance of being single-vision glasses. KRIPTOKS (pronounced Crip-tocks) render un necessary the continual removing of your glasses the over-top squinting or fussing with. two pairs. They keep your eyes young in looks as well as in usefulness. Oscar Borg Registered Optometrist llililiil! m TILERE IS A C1IARM-A SURPASSING EXCELLENCE ABOUT Welwdrth Blouses . THAT IS OFTEN IMITATED but even though 'tis said that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" imitation is, at best, merely an imitation; and after all, it is easy to distinguish Wei worth blouses for every " Wehvorth" blouse has a distinctive "Wehvorth" label. We are proud of our connections with the manufacturers of Wehvorth Blouses and Wirthinor Waists; glad to sell their product to our friends, for we know that those who purchase will always be more than pleased with the unfailing combina tion of durability and style with which ' these garments are characterized.' Wehvorth blouses are smart, becoming and may be had in models that are quite elaborate with exquisite trimmings or those that are equally effective in their charming simplicity. Welworth Blouses -Wirthmor Waists - $2.50 $1.50 Another line of self-evident excellence is The Mina Taylor Dress : You only have to see them to recognize their, superiority to other lines of ready-made dresses superior in material, superior in styles, superior in workmanship. t Mina Taylor dresses in Khaki for outing or camping in gingham or percale for house wear and in finer fabrics for afternoon wear. , Minor & Company !IIIIIIIII!IIIIII11IIII1I1II1IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIH I BIG MORROW COUNTY I I FARMERS' PICNIC I j Held jointly by the.
