To that end all unnessary usa of the automobiles is being advocated to be stopped. Beginning the first of the week Heppner, it was not possible for an autoists to receive more than a half a tank ot gasoline. That Is, if he had more than a half a tank on hand, he getB none. By taking this mea sure, it is figured that everyone will be mora saving with gasoline and the shortage may eventually be overcome. Oregon Wool Growers Appoint Mar keting Committee. The president of the Oregon Wool Urdwers association, Jay Dobbins of Joseph, acting upon the resolutions passed by the Heppner wool growers at their meeting in May asking for a marketing committee has appoint ed Dr. McClure, Dan P. Smythe, and L. A. Hunt as a committee to draw up plans for cooperative marketing ot sheep and wool. The local asso ciation will also take up the matter and give it careful study and it Is sincerely hoped that Borne plan twill be worked out Iwhlch will be ot con siderable assistance to the wool grow ers before another season. The pre sent unsettled conditions of the wool market Is proof conclusive of the need of some stabilizing element, both in the marketing of wool and the marketing of sheep. It is these conditions that prove the need of mutual cooperation to avoid a gen eral panic among producers which if created would ruin the market and financially "bend" many sheepmen. If any grotwers have definite Ideas concerning this problem please talk It over with the county agent or with one of the district directors of the Morrow County Association. The Ideas of every man are worth while In a matter of tills kind. L. A. HUNT.
