Total Clu'tns Allowed from General Fund $2402.50 COFFEE ROASTERS SAY PRICE QUE TO SHORTAGE San Francisco, Aug. 13. American importers and domestic roasters and handlers of coffee are powerless to stop the rise in the price of coffee-, ac- cording to a statement issued here! today by the Pacific Coast Coffee j Roasters Association. ! The statement decatres that cir-' cumstanees over which American dealers have no control have forced i coffee prices to their present high .evel. The advance is attributed principally to the shortage In this ear's Branlian coffee crop which ! owing to the severe frost of July, 19 1 S. will be cut to one-half its nor i .ual size. This depleted crop began j .omlng on the market about July 1 ;his year and, according to the roast- ! -ts, will largely have to supply the needs of this country and Europe for ;ue next twehe months. j Last vear a fros joe worst exper- ienced in more than a quarter of a j .emury, out or a total oi 800,000,000 i trees in the Sao Paulo district, the world's greatest coffee producing sec tion of Brazil, killed 160,000,000 young trees. More than 300,000,000 mature trees were so badly damaged they had to be cut down to the roots, ven under favorable conditions these trees cannot be made to yield a crop for three years. On top of the short crop the Euro pean demand for coffee has been enormous since the signing of the armistice and with practically the entire surplus of coffee stocks from former years used up during the war there is not enough coffee in sight to xeet the demand which is being made by the entire world. The coffee roasters' statement In conclusion says: "It is misleading and unfair to alame the coffee importers of this country for conditions over which they have no control and which are even more unwelcome to them than they are to the consumer. Any im porter, jobber, coffee roaster or re .ail grocer will tell you that the high price Is seriously interfering with niB busipess. It is a well known prin ciple that it is harder to make profit on a high market than on a low one." Trade With Phillipine Is lands to be Developed Through Closer Contact The Phillipine Commercial Agency :ias just opened offices in the Mer .bants Exchange, San Francisco, in charge of Mr. James J. Rafferty. This is a government institution in ended to promote trade between the United States and the Phillipines and o serve as an Intermediary of infor- ! mation for business men, investors ind tourists. Heretofore "the Phillipines have ' ad no representation on the Pacific Coast whereas in the east they have he Bureau of Insular Affairs at Washington and the Phillipine Na tional Bank of New York. Mr. Rafferty is a director of the Bureau of Commerce and Industry at Manila and haB been associated with the Government for eighteen years. Hi was Collector of Internal Rev ;nue, a member of the board of di rectors of the Manila R. R. Co., a Oovernment-owned concern, and was i director in the Bank of the Philli pine Islands for a number of years. He will remain here for some time, until the office is fully equipped, and wll then go to New York to open a similar agency there, after which he expects to return to the Phillipines. He states: . "We decided to establish direct representation for the entire Pacific slope section in your city for the rea son that San Francisco is closest to the Islands of all the American cities, has always been very friendly to our interests and is the city of first im portance on the Coast. Ultimately we expect to carry exhibits of various Phillipine products here so as to be in a position to afford the fullest pos sible Information to all seeking such.' Until permanent quarters can be secured, Mr. Rafferty will be pro vided with space in the offices of the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce. Lawrence Stevenson, young son of Mr. and Mrs. George Stevenson, re turned to his home last Monday, af ter enjoying several days on the sea shore at Newport. He brough home a number of beautiful moss agates which he had picked up along the beach. Mrs. Emmett Cochran, who went down with Master Stevenson, is still at Newport and will probably remain there for the remainder of the season. LOCAL M PEM rr. J. L. Callaway went to Port lend today.

In 1854 and the two following years the wheat crop over rather a wide area was severely damaged by a little insect called the wheat midge. The loss in New York alone was es timated at $15,000,000. As a result, many farmers in that State aban doned the growing of wheat. The farm journals at that time were full of dissussions of the midge. But for years subsequently the wheat midge was not particularly troublesome. Gradually, both farmers and etomol- igists forgot about it or remembered it only as one of the pests that used to be. And so it went on for more than sixty years, until very recently. Then the wheat midge gave evidence that it isn't out of business. Etomologists of the United States Department of Agriculture say that there is a considerable midge injury in New York, Pennsylvanian, Mary liind. West Virginia and Virginia. During all these 60 or more years, of course, the midge has been present, hut in such .small numbers as not to be noticed particularly. Because it was not doing any very serious in jury, no thoroughly systematic study was made of the insect. The depart ment experts are inclined to believe that several species are included un rter the name of wheat midge. Such iife history data as are available do not seem to harmonize sufficiently for one Bpecles. The probability is, they think, that conditions are very rarely favorable for all the species at the same time and, until such a universally favorable season occurs, the midge does not inflict euougn damage to be particularly noticeable. The department, through the Bureau of Etomology, Is undertaking a sys tematic study of life history together with other investigations that will rehult in a much more thorough un derstanding of the insect than has evet teen had up to this time. It is not regarded as at all likely that the whole wheat midge will ever ' again inflict such heavy damage as it WHY IT SUCCEEDS. Because It's For One Thing Only, and Heppner People Appreciate This. Nothing can be good for everything. Doing one thing well brings sui. cess. Doan's Kidney Pills are for one '.hing only. For weak or disordered kidneys. Here Is Heppner evidence to prove their worth.

SANDBAGS SAVE MANY LIVES Italian Authorities Must Be Given Credit for Resourcefulness In Modern Warfare. No belligerent has shown more re sourcefulness than the Italians In de vising novel means of offense and de fense, say writer In Wide World Magazine. The Italian army was the only one to enter the war with a trench helmet and a steel chest protector, and It Is now provided with a more efficient body shield than Is possessed by anj other of the warring nations. Early In the war It was discovered by the Italians that many lives could be saved In skirmishing at close quar ters if the soldiers carried or pushed bags of sand In front of them, and the present body shield has been on out growth of that Idea. They are made iu the one-man and two-man type.' The former are worn by Infantry advancing In the open, at tached to the shoulders by a pair of light steel arms, aud are long enough to protect the head and vital organs of a man standing erect. Lying at full length, or even crouched. It covers him completely. Each shield Is pierced with a small, round eyehole and an oblong loophole for firing from, both of which may be closed by a sliding door when no? In use. The two-man shield Is principally used in wire cutting. It Is carried on the back of one man, who may also work his rifle from a loophole in the top, while a second man works a lung wire-cutter through a hole at the bot torn. It Is held up by short legs It the first man desires to move Independ ently. REPUBLICANS HELPED PASS WARKEASURES Patriotism of Oregon's Con gressmen Is Unfairly Assailed. The manufactured and unsupported charge that "the election of a Republi can Congress In November would la a source of comfort and elation to the Kaiser and bis cohorts," comes with poor grace from the Democrats In these critical times when it is recalled that the votes of Republican members of Congress were required to pass the conscription bill and other Important war measures. .

Milholland, Special Agent, Standard Oil Company Heppner, Oregon. at times when "letding liemooraTR Congressmen balked at the President s war program and not only refused to support but actively opposed some of the more vital war measures. And yet, despite this -fact and the further fact that the President has in sisted that "polities is adjourned," the Democratic National Committee is In dustriously circulating through Its campaign literature the charge that the election at this time of other than Democrats to Congress would give "comfort and elation to the Kaiser and his Cohorts." In view of the records jt Senator McNary and Representatives Hawley, Sinnott and McArthur, who have at all times supported the President's war program, this sort of propaganda should be vigorously resented by the voters of this state. Irrespective of their political affiliations. This un founded imputation that the four Re publican nominees for Congress from this state are not dependably 100 per cent patriotically American can be best repudiated by electing them By decisive majorities. STUDY HOLDING OF CAMERA Successful Work With the Instrument Depends Largely on Its Being in Proper Position. Successful hand-camera work de pends largely on the power to glv slow shutter exposures with the cam era held In (he hand, and In this con nection sufficient attention Is rarely given to the matter of "grip." It U not enough to hold the camera flrrulj against the chest or stomach. Tht best position must be found by trial, nd this will vary with different In dividuals and different makes o) camera. In general It will be fount? that the most comfortable position 1 the steadiest. At waist level tht hands will be usually placed sym metrically on either side of the Instru ment, the right, near the release, for ward, and the other a little behind When the camera Is held at eye level one hand Is usually beld rather undei the Instrument as a support, and th other grips the back or side, or wltl a folding type of camera both handi may grip the back. With the verj small tyres, one hand often almost In closes the Instrument aud releases the shutter, whilst the other Is used as a support At eye level It Is often a great assistance to a steady nlin tr press the back of the camera against the cheek. Just as the feel of a fa vorite gun gives confidence, so tht use of the camera should be fnmlllnr and regular and systematic practice with the unloaded camera will be a great help In this. Trial exposures should be given from time to time, and the resulting negatives carefully ex amined. At first fairly short exposure! only should be given, to gain confi dence, gradually employing slowei speeds as the hand Is trained and nerve la acquired. Building Record. All building records were broken recently at Grasmere. S. I., where a United States buse hospital Is located. In five hours a force of 300 men erect ed a building 230 feel long and 38 feet wide. In the finished building; when the workmen laid down their tools, was a steam-heating plant, sewer connections, electric lights and a bath room with tiled floor. The work started at 7 o'clock In the morning, with men digging post boles. When the whistle blew at noon the last workman In the building was putting on his cout, with the task completed. iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHiiitiUiiuiiiis j UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT j The Heppner Bakery I M.
