Local Association (joes on Record as Favoring IUHh and Pans Resolu tions Minting Tuesday Evening Llnten to Htlrring Bpeecli tlitvo (iood Irogruiu. Tbe local Patron-Teacbera Asso ciation held a very interesting and profitable session on last Tuesday evening at the High School and tbe main feature of the program was a discussion of the educational mill age tax measures that will be voted ou at the coming May primaries. Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte, county school superintendent, presented the elementary school bill, which pro Tides for raising and distributing funds among the elementary schools. She presented facts to shoiw that this means providing funds to help along the elementary schools would raise money from a very large portion of property that now escapes taxaiiw. for school purposes, except the small amount raised by the annual state tax. In Morrow county alone, there Is much property lying outside of any school district that is owned by peo ple living out of the county, and with the passage of this measure the schools of this county h 111 be greatly benefitted. Mrs. Shurte also express ed the opinion, that if the measure is properly presented before our people it will receive practically unamlnoua support, as It should. P. A. McMenamin presented the measure for higher educational In stitutions. Mr. Woodson was to have spoken on this bill but was called away and Mr. McMenamin kindly consented to take his place. Ills ad dress was to the point. He showed how the higher educational institu tions had been made to suffer in times past because of lack of proper support, but now that conditions had changed and everything was on a much higher basis of cost, It was next to Impossible to carry on the work. The best professors and In structors were leaving for other lines of employment, and greatly Increased attendance at the various schools was forcing them Into a situation which, If not relieved by financial aid as pro vided In these measures, would virtu ally put the State University and Ag ricultural College out of business The past year the University's in crease In millage income Iwas only 3.8 per cent, while the attendance Increased 152 per cent. The Agri cultural College had a millage In crease of 3.8 per cent and Its atten dance Increased 148 per cent. Re lief, therefore, must come to these Institutions In which the state has a Just pride, and our young people coming on to the stage of action and seeking higher educational privil eges must not De rorcea 10 auena tbe colleges of other states, or else pass up this part of their prepara tion for life's battles. Mr. McMena min stated thn there will be an In crease of at least 6400 students for the universities and higher educa tional Institutions of Oregon this coming year. What Is to be done; shall we voto down the only meas ures that twill provide for taking care of them? A campaign of educa tion must be waged between now and primary eloction day, May 21. For the returned soldier there is also a measure before the people pro viding for a small millage tax to aid the funds already provided for by legislative enactment. The special session of the legislature put this measure up to the voters also, and S. K. Nolson spoke In behalf of the bill. "The funds already provided have proven to be entirely Inade quate and If we keep faith with our boys who went over the water to fight our battles for us, we will Bee to It that this measure receives our unan imous support. "Lest we forget" Is a good slognn for this bill, and Mr Notson plninly pointed out that the great tendency nt this time Ib to for get all about whnt the boys accom plished over there, and our promises made to them at the time of thir de parture, and he called us back to these things in a very forcible man ner. He made the statement that there twas one precinct In this coun ty, (which. It was understood, was go ing to vote unanimously against all these millage measures, and if such was the caHe (with regard to this par Mr.ular bill, he would blush with shame for that precinct. It will cer tainly not go on record as having forgotten the boys who mode the su preme sacrifice on the battle fields of France, and tlniB deny to those who were able to return, many of them crippled and maimed, this small favor of aid In gottlng an edu cation that will assist them in fight ing the future battles of llfo. The various speeches created much enthusiasm in fnvor of the mlllago tax hills, nnd called forth the follow ing resolutions: Resolutions WHEREAS, the ttwo-mlll element ary school bill provides a just and equable moans for raising ann aisiri- hiitlnir a state fund whlcn win en able our school districts to mnintaln efficient schools and thereby relieve the burden of tnxntlon upon the school districts, many of which are small and have a low valuation, nnd WHEREAS, our Institutions of higher learning require speedy relief because the present income does not even meet maintenance cost, and WHEREAS, class rooms, labora tories, and other necessary build ings must be erected, unless the doors of these institutions are closed to at leaBt a thousand of our boys and girls this fall, say nothing of the soldiers and sailors whom the state pledged to aid in securing an education, and WHEREAS, If the state keeps Its pledge to the returned soldiers and sailors, It will be necessary also to vote for the Soldier's Educational Aid Tax, therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Patron-Teachers Association of Hcpp ner, does hereby go on record as en dorsing the proposed bills for these measures. MRS. C. E. WOODSON, Pres. MRS. A. M. PHELPS, Sec. The above resolutions were unan imously adopted. A meeting of the executive committee of the associc-tli-n followed adjournment, and It v.as decided that the Patron-Teach ers Association would get behind a campaign of education for these mea sures, the details of which will be made known later. Other features of the program Tuesday evening were a duet by Coramae Crawford and Mary Clark recitations by Eleanor Colin and Ken neth Hill, representing the 6th grade pupils, and a solo by Miss Thelma Selling. A social time followed and the entertainment committee served refreshments of ice cream and wafers. At the next regular meeting of the Association will occur the annual el ection of officers. Boardman Man Confesses To Charge of Arson After confessing to Sheriff Til Tay lor of Umatilla county and State Fire Warden H. Pomeroy that he had set fire to his grocery Btore at Board- man, W. M. Haskins was brought to Heppner Tuesday evening by Mr. Pomeroy and turned over to Sheriff George McDuffeo. Mr. Haskins was bound over to the grand Jury and released after put ting up $1000 bail money. In the fire which .visited Board- man several weeks ago, the HaBkins store burst out in flames several buildings removed from the fire. Conditions warranted an investlga Hon by the state Are warden, which resulted in Haskins arrest In Pendle ton. Ills confession was secured by the warden and sheriff after eight hours of grilling. FRUIT TREES HAT YET BE SAVED Winter Injuries My Prove To He Not Permanent County Advises Treatment. Agent After the heavy winter freeze, which we have been forced to endure during the past winter, many of the fruit trees of the peach, cherry and prune variety, look pretty bad. Very little hope was entertained that the trees would live, let alone bear fruit tills season. Hdwever, the damage is not going to prove as great as I first feared. Many of the trees it is believed will bear yet this season. and many more which will not bear this Beason will not be a permanent loss. The limbs and a great deal of the heavier part of the branches of tha tree were turned a very dark color and there is no doubt that this wood did sour. This has greatly restricted the sap arrylng ennacity of the trees. The roots are still in tact nnd are begin nlng to throw some snp up into the body of the tree nnd will sooner or later show up some leaves on the tree. However, this should not De taken as proof conclusive that the trees are all right, they are far from that. They are going to be sick trees during the whole season, and unless there Is some relief afforded many of the trees which do start to leaf out will probably die before full. The best method for 'overcoming this situation is a heavy top pruning of these trees. Any tree which leaves out perfectly normal you need not worry much about. Tho peach tree seems to have suffered the most se verely, in this case Iwhere the trees have suffered quite severely li is Deti to give them a heavy top pruning which will mean reducing the foliage at. least two-thirds. It is a well known fact that it requires the new shoots to develop the fruit for the next year, and if this pruning Is done properly many of the trees which havo been feared would die will an other year bear as well as ever. Some suggestions along this line might not be out of order. This pruning should not bo done until the sap has Drettv well started. If done too ear ly the sap Is likely to drift hack on the cut on the tree, or scar, and the top will not heal over properly. The cut should be made as near the trunk of the tree, or trunk of the main Hmb, as possible, nnd done as smoothly ns possible with the Idea of leaving as little knots as may be after they have properly healed over It should however, bo borne in mind that this pruning should be done sometime In April or before tho mid die of May. Pruning can be done WE SOW T Citizens of North Morrow Town Pledge Site Kor New School Build ing Bonds Will Be Issued Bull Team Is Organized. Irrlgon has gained forty per cent in population in the last six months, according to the school census. The people of that progressive town are going after a netw school building In order to care for the rapidly growing enrollment and have pledged a Bite to the distrlst upon which the new building will be erected. The build ing will be financed through a bond issue. The bond issue has already been authorized, according to County Agent L. A. Hunt, who attended farm bureau meeting in Irrigon last Saturday evening. Mr. Hunt says Irrlgon is rapidly coming to the front and taking its pluce as one of the big irrigation dis tricts of the Northwest. The people are very progressive and Iwhen they start after anything they don't stop until they have attained the desired results. The town is a unit in sup porting a base ball team which has been organized there to uphold the honor and dignity of the irrigation metropolis and will be a contender for the championship of the Irriga tlon League. C. E. Glasgow has been nominated to succeed J. G. Camp, resigned, as a director in the West Umatilla Irri gation District. Shearing Season Begins. Frank W, Turner left on Tuesday for Heppner Junction where he will set up his sheep shearing plant at the Deos ranch in preparation for the 1920 season. Mr. Turner has had his crew assembled for several days but work has been held up ow Ing to unfavorable weather condi tions. LaVerne Van Marter has gone to Roosevelt, Wash., witli an other plant, where he has an exten sive run. Mrs. Van Marter expects to join her husband there at a later date. Daughter nt Fred Elder Home. Emmett, Idaho, April 12. (Spe cial to The Gazette-Times) Little Geraldino arrived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Elder on Thursday, April 8, weighing 9 pounds. Mother and daughter are doing nicely and hopes nro being held for Fred's re covery. later, but for sick trees, trees that will require every ounce of available sap that the limbs can bring to the ultimate extremities of the trees, It cannot be done too early after the sap has finally started. If these In structions are carefully adhered to, it Is believed that many trees which had been thought dead will he saved before the season Is over. We have endeavored to secure a specialist along this work from Cor- vallls to go over the situation, but so far have been unable to do so The situation will have to be handled with such holp as la here, and the. County Agent will give all the time and advice possible to assist In over- coming what nt first promised to be a very dangerous situntion. j L. A. HUNT, County Agent.

Her record for 29 days was 157$ pounds of milk and 72 pounds fat. The fat alone was worth more than $40 for the short month of the year. Testing pays better than guessing. O. A C. Press Bulletins. Big Beef Type Bset Feeders. An 800 pound low quality steer bought at 5 cents, fattened to 1000 pounds and sold at 7 rents, shows a gain of $30.

President Wilson is flirting with the Democrat ic renomination for the presidency and it is believed here that his fail ure to demand that his name be with drawn from the primary ballot in Georgia is evidence that he Intends to run again on a platform ot ratifying the league of nations covenant with out change in order that he may thereby keep the United States out of war. It is true that the President's name was actually withdrawn at the last minute by some of the Bigners of the petition entering it on the primary ballot, but not at the behest of Mr. Wilson himself, who remained deter mined not to commit himself. Thus the party leaders are faced with the same dilemma as at the now famous Jackson day banquet in January when they waited Impatiently and in vain for some word from the party chief which would take him out of the race and relieve them of embar rassment. Their several candidacies must now go on under the shadow of the belief that Woodrdw Wilson will seek a third term. Throughout the treaty fight, con sistently in favor of ratification of the covenant without the slightest additional protection of the interests of the United States, the President has even refused to accede to any separate peace the majority In Con gress might decide upon. He dis missed Secretary Lansing as the re sult of his having said that the Am eriean people would never accept the league If they understood Its mean ing. He rebuked Senator Hitch cock and others for breathing a spir it of compromise. He alone Is re sponsible for the defeat of the treaty as amended by the Lodge reserva tions. It Is therefore now conceded by the Democrats In Congress that he will not be swerved from his pur pose of insisting that he should be upheld in spite of the action of the large majority of the Senate to the contrary and of carrying the fight to the country in the presidential cam paign. He tins already stated that it is the leading issue. Ho has already denounced opposing Senators as tral tors to the best interests of the Uni ted States. He has already declared that America must yield something of its Btrength to the netw interna tionalism. And thus ho has stated and repeat ed that the unamended league stands for Deuce, nnd that he stands for OREGON WOOL MEM MET III PE1E1 Grower Discuss Marketing W UI Confer With Buyers Id Portland Meeting Will Be Held In Heppner When Committee Will Report. (By L. A. Hunt.) At the call of the President, J. H. Dobbin, of Wallowa county, a com mittee of selected wool growers met In the county agent's office In PendWt ton on Tuesday afternoon, to pre pare plans and discuss details pre paratory to the big wool-growers meeting to be held In Heppner. Those In attendance were J. H. Dob bin, President; Dan P. Smythe, Tom Boylen, Kenneth Warner, Dr. Mc- Clure, Joe Cunha, all ot Umatilla county; Harry Bartholomew from Butter creek; Ed Nelll, W. W. How ard from Pine City; R. W. Tamer from Heppner; J. H. Towne fom Portland; Fred Bennion, County Agent of Umatilla county and L. A. Hunt from Heppner. Under general discussion of the sheep business there was consider able dissatisfaction expressed because of the fact that at present there are very few buyers for the sheep offer ed for sale and the people generally have not seemed to be satisfied with the conditions that have surrounded tbe marketing of wool In the past. After considerable discussion a com mittee was finally appointed to study the marketing situation in general and make a definite report to the meeting to be held in Heppner. As a part of the study of this situation the committee will make a trip to Portland and meet with wool buyers and wool financiers In the state met ropolis on Tuesday of next week. The members of this committee Iwho will make the trip Monday night to Portland are men who are well known to all the sheepmen ot Mor row county and all of them big oper ators; Jay Dobbin of Wallowa coun ty; Ed Neill and Jack Hynd or Mor row county and the Secretary of the Oregon Wool Growers Association, Mac Hoke. The date for the meeting at Heppner will probably be the 1st iay of May, which happens to fall on Saturday. Every sheepman m me county whether large or small should make it a point to be at this meeting as the very latest development in the marketing situation and sheep Indus try in general will be discussed by Dr. McClure and Jay Dobbin, as well as the secretary of the state association, and every sheep operator that has a definite idea will be given a chance to give it expression. It is contem plated by the committee that a very decided change In the marketing of wool will be stated at that time and every sheepman given an opportunity to express his opinion upon the same, and we believe that no sheepman can afford to be absent. Remember the date. Ladies Guild Will Meet. The Ladies Guild will meet on Fri day afternoon at 2:15 in the I. O. O. F Hall. Hostesses for tne occasiuu are Mrs. J. F. Lucas, Mrs. Guy Boyer, Mrs. Emmett Cochran and Mrs. Ar thur McAtee. Children's Diet Lacks Iilk. Four children out of every ten in Oregon outside of Portland get no milk in their diet. Since milk Is es sential to normal development of children Its use is sought by the child welfare workers. In Jackson coun- tv the home demonstration agent and farm bureau will cooperate with tne Oregon Dairy council and local or ganizations in a milk campaign at Medford, May 5 to 8. peace, that America must stand for peace, and that if the covenant is ad opted immaculate and the people ac cept his verdict at the pons peuco will reign. This is so niuen use 1916 that members of Congress dis miss It with a derisive smile. Whether the President iB again nominated or not, it Is certain that he will influence the convention m bringing about the indorsement ot his own attitude and that of his par ty in the Senate on the peace treaty. It is regarded here as certain that his administration will be Indorsed and that those who insisted that the league be Americanized twill be do nouncd. And hence it is considered no less certain that the Democratic party will contend in the campaign that if Us chieftain had had his way entire there would be no future wars. In the meantime Secretary Daniels Is clamoring for a larger navy a navy as large as England's by 1925. Troubles are brewing with Mexico, due to what members of the Senate and House declare to be a weak and vaccilatlng policy. There Is a grow ing Impression that tho United States cannot afford to have rapine and dis order and barbarism at Its front door and wish it away by "Watchful waiting." Japan is extending Ita su zerainty over Eastern Asia and showing Its ambition to control the Pacific Ocean. Europe is filled with wars and rumors of wars. Human nature remains the same, Congress men say, and tliey do not believe Mr. Wilson's conclusions will bo accept ed without question. )
