MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
IS BULK HANDLING PROFITABLE?
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.

Big Surplus Butter Shipment.
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.

"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.

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.
