Gasoline Rationing Starts
At Local Filling Stations
So acute haB become the gasoline
situation, all over the country that
drastic steps are being taken to con
serve present supplies. 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.

"Atter considerable delay and a
uuuioer ot cUBappoiutnieuu we nave
uuauy located ,uuu gallons of en
Siue distillate. Do you want it at
jo 1-2 cent a gallon? Do you want
.i bad enough to help us unload it
irom tae tank cars and save demur
rage '. These are questions i am aan
mg the farmers. If iwe get this in,
ae must face these problems: first.
unanclng the shipment; in this the

lion. This is the farmers' problem,
lhird, storage and unloading, and
tills a ATA rvbodv's iob. What will
you do and how much will you want?
"We must have your agreement io
take a specific amount before it can
be ordered. Distillate will furnish
