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

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

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

Best Cow Proves It.
The best cow of the 1367 tested in
association work in February gave
more than four times as much milk
and nearly three times as much fat
as the average cow. 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

An 800 pound low quality steer
bought at 5 cents, fattened to 1000
pounds and sold at 7 rents, shows a

Promises to Keep Country Out of
War if Covenant He Made is Ad
opted Unchanged.
Washington, April 14. 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

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

Children's Diet Lacks Iilk.
Four children out of every ten in
Oregon outside of Portland get no

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
