HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JUNE 29, 1922 Subscription $2.00 Per Year EXPERIMENT STIIll VISITED B! FARMERS A Representative Bunch of Wheatrais ui aad Others Drive to Sherman County, Take la Experiment Station And See a Lot of Fln Wheat Farms; All Well Paid for Tim and Trouble. Better than . 40 farmer! of Morrow county, representing nearly every quar ter, made up a party that left Friday morning for Sherman county, their ob jective being the dry land experiment station at More The trip had been ar ranged by the farm bureau management and County Agent Calkini, and the very liberal response to their invitation was gratifying. A number of care left Heppner at 8 o'clock Friday morning and theie were joined by others at Lexington and lone and strung out in number to 11, with E. M. Hulden in the lead and in hit car Agent Calkins, Robert Perlig and Vaw ter TJrawford, who were delegated to pilot the "boati" over the hills in the right direction leading to Arlington, which point they should reach by din ner time. The letter S and figure 8 were cut several times in the route fol lowed by the pilots, and it looked like the company would never be able to get to Dad Maddock's Grande hotel in Ar lington before they had expired by the slow process of starvation. The bunch were good sports, however, followed the leader without a grumble, said they en joyed seeing the good wheat fields through which they were led in the west section of Morrow county and east aide of Gilliam, and all did justice to the dinner man when they finally got their feet under the table at Arlington. It was not long after this, going down the Columbia highway, that Kufus was reached and then on south to Wasco and Moro, Friday afternoon and all day Saturday being spent in absorbing knowledge from the experiment station and from the successful farmers in the famous Sherman county wheat belt. The entire company were well pleased with the trip and were loud in praise of the work being done at the Moro sta tion. Their treatment at the hands of Mr. Stephens and other members of the staff there is greatly appreciated. All were able to see at first hand what a wonderful work is being carried on in behalf of the dry land farmers of East ern Oregon at this station and they earnestly hope and desire that every farmer of this county will avail himself of the opportunity of going to Moro wherever it is offered and see and un derxtr.nd for himself just how extensive an! practical a work is being carried on there. The party journeyed home leisurely on Sunday, some of them stopping by the way to take a swim in the John Dsy river and in Rock creek at Olex, and becoming boys again . It goes without saying that Hulden and Calkini were not entrusted with the job of piloting the caravan home, and every car was left to Its own pleasure in this respect. Those in the party were C. C. Calkins, E. M. Hulden, Robert E. Perlick, Chas. Hemrlch, Harry Turner, V. Crawford. Frank Gilliam .Walter Becket, Theo. An derson, Jeff Jones, Harry Rood, 0. M. Scott, W. T. Scott, W. R. Scott, J. G.

Saturday morning, with Mr. Stephens in charge, the "gang" visited the East ern Oregon dry land experiment station, located about one quarter of a mile northeast of Moro. The lands embraced in the station comprise about 200 acres, situated on the top of a low hill, giving the advantage of all four slopes, which, as every farmer knows, is necessary for obtaining the most accurate results in experimentation. Rotations are follow ed in such manner that the same crop is placed on tho different slopes in suc ceeding years thnt the experiment may CLOSED The undersigned garages and accessory stores WILL NOT BE OPEN ON July 4th Secure your gasoline, tires and accessor ies not later than Monday, July 3rd. C0HNAUT0C0. 1 BROWNING & JOHNS " LATOURELL AUTO CO. MARTIN REID C. V. HOPPER TIRE SHOP HEPPNER GARAGE Smead's Appointment . As P.M. Is Confirmed: W. W. Smead received a telegram ear ly yesterday from Senator Stanfield, an nouncing his confirmation as postmaster of Heppner. The appointment was made early last week by President Harding and reached the senate in due course of business. Mr. Smead is quite elated over this announcement, and he thinks the de tails will all be worked out so that he will be able to take his oath of office and enter upon his duties by the first of August. In the meantime he may be called upon, to spend a couple of weeks or so with the school of postmasters at Seattle. Of this he will know later, however. Everett Logan and Walter Pope were Cecil residents in this city on Wednes day. - be carried out completely and the effects of climate and soil conditions accurate ly noted. ' Experiments are being made mostly on one-twentieth acre plots. Mr, Ste phens believes this to be the best meth od, because in the larger tracts there is apt to be a difference in the type of coil that hinders best results. The first section visited - was the spring wheats. Sherman, as Well as Morrow county, not being very much adapted to the growing of spring wheat, did not lay great stress upon these wheats, however, there were a great many varieties represented at the sta tion. Foremost among these are the Hard Federation and Federation. Both of these varieties are early maturing, have a beardless brown chaff with short, white, hard kernels; the principal dif ference between the two being that the Hard Federation kernel is much harder, yields heavier and is more drouth re sistant. One very outstanding fact at the sta tion was that the growing of Pacific Hluestem, our highest priced wheat, has been almost discontinued as a spring or winter wheat, even in the trial plots. At the barley plots a number of var ieties were represented, with the mariot (bearded) and moloy (common beard less) leading. A noticeable feature in the barley section was the fact that no winter barley was grown. It had been tried but was found to winter kill about one year in four, hence it was discon tinued. There are two winter barleys that may be of value later, 0 A. C. No. 37 and Tennessee winter, but neither of these are as yet ready for distribution. To all the Morrow farmers the most inteietting section visited at the sta tion was the winter wheat. Numerous varieties are represented in this class, and a few of the more interesting may be mentioned here. Karkov, the best improved strain of Turkey red, possess es the best milling qualities and has a lead of eight per cent over other var ieties in yield. This variety also pre dominates very largely all over Sher man county In fact we saw very few fields of anything else. One other win ter wheat and it is truly a winter wheat, because it will not mature if spring sown hybrid No. 128, a cross between Jones fife and little club, easily holds second place at the Moro station. In Umatilla county more than 60 per cent of the winter acreage is sown to hybrid 128. One very important feature of the winter wheats was the strains of abso lutely smut resistant varieties. Chief among these were Odessa and Turkey red No. 4430. These wheats are immune to smut. As yet none of these smut resistant strains have been found to be very high yielding varieties, but it is believed that some of them can be hy bridised with our high yielding Turkey red nad other hybrids and thus do away with the smut treating business alto gether. It would have been well worth the price of the trip to have seen Bill Pad berg's eyes brighten up at the men tion of smut resistant wheat. After passing on from the principal wheat variety plots a greater number of less important newer varieties were seen in the nursery rows, and the in tricate methods of propagation were ex plained to very much interested listen era. Another very lively session was held over the tillage plots. Here winter wheat and spring wheat were grown un der all methods of tillage and culture. All manner of tillage practices were indulged in from that of the poorest far- ( Continued on Page 6.) Sunday School to Hold Services in Mountains Lexington' will repair to the mountains in the vicinity of Moore's mill on next Sunday for their annual mountain ser vices. There will be plenty of automo biles to transport' the members of the school and their friends to the moun tain retreat, where the regular services of the day will be held and a picnic dinner enjoyed amidst the surroundings , of cool shade and good water. All peo- pie sojourning in that vicinity on Sun-, day are invited to join with the Sunday school folks in this service. Mr. and Mrs. Charley Schmidt of the north Sand Hollow section visited Hepp ner Wednesday, returning home today. These people are making a success of raising grain and this season are ex pecting to harvest an abundant crop. They will be in harvest the coming week, heading and stacking. Harvest throughout that end of Morrow county will be on in earnest inside the coming two weeks. Out of courtesy to the Chautauqua management, B. G. Sigsbee this week closed the Star Theater, and during this vacation spell is making some very much needed Improvements at the show house. A ventilating system Is being put in and the front of the theater is receiving new paint Shows will be re sumed at the Star regularly after the close of the Chautauqua. Guy Huston and family were in the city the past week and drove home in a new Dodge car, which Guy used to take the family on over to the Moro ex periment station on Friday. An Ideal Investment Albert W. Atwood, one of the best known writers on the subject of finance and investment, has recently written a very important article for the Saturday Evening Post under the title "Protect ing the Small Investor." In the course of that article he writes of Treasury Savings Certificates, using the sub-title, "An Ideal Investment," of which he says: "It cannot be stated with too much emphasis that anyone who really wants a safe investment with a good interest return can secure the same without the slightest difficulty. On December fif teenth last the wife of the President of the United States purchased from Mr. Mellon, Secretary of the Treasury, the first Treasury Savings Certificate sold by the United States government. These are now on sale at all post offices, and many banks, and can be had by mail direct from the Treasury department They pay 25 per cent on the money in vested for a five-year period. They are guaranteed by the government to pay this figure, and guaranteed against any decline in price. They are beyond ques tion the safest and surest investment available to any American citizen, and if they are not good, then nothing in the world is. "There has been a lot of talk and cheap platitudes about the necessity and advantages of thrift and savings, but a man cannot dig a garden without tools and he cannot save without a secure place to put his money. A splendid work is done by the savings banks, but they do not cover the entire country by any means. There are millions of people whom they do not reach. Life insur ance covers an even wider field, but it is only partially a savings and invest ment proposition. The government is the one agency that can appeal to ev erybody, and at last, after much exper imenting during and following the war, it has devised a permanent form of small investment which is simple, con venient and which meets the needs of all except the wealthiest classes. "These certificates are always sold at the same price, $20, $80, and $800. In five years they are paid off at $25, $100 and $1000 respectively. This is 4 1-2 per cent interest compounded semi-annually. It is 25 per cent in five years. There is no state or local tax on these certificates and no normal Federal in come tax. Any individual can buy as much as $5000 each year, and the same amount is available to any member of his family. They can be redeemed at any time before the five years are up, at the full amount paid, plus 3 1-2 per cent interest, by sending them to the Treasury department Since the name of the owner is registered at Washing ton the loss of the certificate does not mean the loss of the investment There is no risk, depreciation in value or promoter's or banker's commission to pay, there is liberal interest and an im mediate cash withdrawal value." Howe's Big Circus to Be Here Next Saturday Few aerlalists, no matter how daring, work without first minimizing their danger by the erection of a safety net directly under them and ten or a dozen feet above the ground. More fearless and death-defying than all others, the performers with Howe's Great London Shows, which will exhibit Saturday, July 1, in Heppner use neither life belts nor nets, depending entirely upon their own courage, confidence and powers. The terrific startling and hair-raising feats these conceded meteoric kings and queens perform high above the heads of the fear-gasping spectators are such few persons dare risk. The members of one troupe particularly appear to be without nerves or fear. They pass and repass from bar to bar, from ring to ring, and subsequently from bar to landing place with an amazing skill and judgment. The members of another family actually fly through space, their bodies revolving like swiftly moving balls. They toss, catch and pass each other with astonishing unconcern. The many performers with Howe's Great London Shows are likewise post-gradu-ntes of their porfessions. having been culled from the top-most circles of Am erican and European artists. Then there ure scores of marvelously educated wild and tamed animals and a whole univer sity of ludicrous clowns. These funny follows cause children to go into parox isms fo laughter and elicit smiles from even savants, philosophers and the gravest of scientists. They send spin sters and bachelors into ecstacles of merriment. Lack of space prevents the naming of all the mighty features to be found in these big shows, suffice to Buy they are the newest and greatest money can procure. Principals' Gub Is Re Organized at Eugene UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, June 28. (Special.) Sixty principals and su perintendents of Oregon schools re-or-ganiied the eld Principals' club at a meeting held on the university campus Friday evening and elected officers for the summer session, in which most of them are enrolled as students. Officers I were elected as follows: president. E. ; H. Hedrick, superintendent of Heppner , schools; - vice president, M. S. Hamm, superintendent at noseburg; secretary, George Turn bull, University of Oregon, school of journalism. Superintendent E. H. Hedrick, of Heppner, followed an address by C. A. Howard on "Teachers' Meetings as a Means of Improvement in Service," by a discussion of the subject, Saturday af ternoon, June 24, at the annual confer ence of superintendents and principals, held here June 23-24. Mr. Hedrick gave five rules regulating the calling of teachers' meetings. 1. They should be composed of people who have something in common. 2. They should be called for a definite purpose. 1 8. The members should be acquainted with this purpose before the meeting. 4. The program should be in the hands of a competent person. 6. They should be adjourned when the business is finished. Following Mr. Hedrick in the discus sion, Superintendent Stanbrough of Newberg, emphasized the need of keep ing in touch with new ideas. Fire Nearly Destroys All Monument on Monday The little town of Monument suffered a severe fire on Monday afternoon and was practically wiped off the map. Ac cording to reports reaching Heppner, the fire started from a defective flue in rooms in the Murphy building and spread very rapidly, all of the business section and several residences being de stroyed in a very short time, leaving only the hotel, postoffice and livery sta ble. The town has no fire fighting ap aratus and a bucket brigade was not a successful means of fighting the spread of flames. The total loss is around $50,000, partially covered by in surance. R. V. Whiteis of this city fig ures that his companies will lose about $18,000, and he carried the bulk of the insurance on the property destroyed. The stores of Monument had just completed putting in their stock of sup plies for the summer, all of which was lost, and the people of the little com munity were hard hit for a few days by lack of food, but the situation was soon relieved, and aid to those left destitute was sent in. The problem of rebuilding is the one that is t j,w causing worry. Mr. and Mrs. S. E. Notson are in re ceipt this week of invitations to the wedding of their son, Lee W. Notson anj Miss Florence May Kirk which took place at Dunlap, Iowa, June 28th. Lee is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Notson and has made his home in Iowa for sev eral years past. He has numerous friends here who extend hearty ronerat- ulations. Mrs. Bruce Bothwell, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Cowins of this city, has been visiting her parents during the week. Mrs. Bothwell resides near Mau- pin, Oregon, where her husband is ex tensively engaged in wheat raising. She will return home on Saturday. S. E. Notson received a telegram yes terday informing him that his sister, Mrs. Lillian Utterback, had died at her home near Kansas City, Kansas. She leaves a husband, a grown daughter, and a daughter twelve years of age. Sam Ritchie was a visitor in Heppner Monday from his ranch out north of Lexington. He was getting ready for harvest which will be on hand in that seciton' the coming week. He reports good crops in prospect ' W. A. McClintock, of Gooseberry, was doing business in this city on Monday. He states that the people out his way will tnnn h frpttinc m.v fn li a run at and the prospects of a good yield are Drignt. , The front at the store of Phelps Gro cery company was this week improved by the addition of a new awning that helps a lot in keeping out the glare of the sun these warm days. Mrs. Arthur McAtee returned home Friday from a visit of a couple of months with relatives and friends in Michignn. - Shell Fish! DO YOU ENJOY SHELL FISH!

Elkhorn Restaurant Heppner Forest Notes of Interest From Gurdane District Elmer Williams of the Portland office of the Biological survey has been in this district the last three days inspect ing the trap lines of Archie McCampbell, government hunter, and assisting Mc Campbell in connecting his lines with those of the government trsppers east and west of here. A trunk trap line is being act from near the head of the Umatilla river southwestward for one hundred and twenty-five miles, a paral lel line will be set along which the trap pers will ride on return trips, thus mak ing a continuous trap line for two hun dred and fifty miles in length. Branch lines will also be set into coyote coun try. Experienced trappers will be in charge of the system, lines in the Gur dane district will be in charge of Archie McCampbell and Harold Ahalt Will Troxel and Homer Landers who are camped at Arbuckle mountain while clearing roads, were recently the hosts to a nocturnal visit from a beast of the forest, a lighted match revealed a por cupine. Equipped with a light and arm ed with a long handled shovel, a pajama charge was made on the guests. The porcupine's head was broken; likewise the shovel handle. A new road has been constructed to the lookout tree on the top of Arbuckle mountain. The construction of the look out station has been temporarily delay ed by the press of other work. It is planned to cut the top from a tree about sixty feet from the ground and con struct a crow's nest of wood and steel. The lookout from the crow's nest will be able to overlook approximately three hundred thousand acres of forest land. A new split log bridge has been con structed at Pole Creek, making the road between Ellis Ranger station and Ditch creek passable for horse drawn vehicles. The Arbuckle mountain to Thompson flat road is now clear of logs and while rough, is passable for cars on from Freezeout ridge southward to the cross ing on Ellis creek. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNERS.

Heppner ball tossers journeyed to Ar 'ington Sunday and won from the Gill iam county boys in a 2-12 score. The day was very warm and the game is re ported to have been equally as warm, as it stood a 2-2 tie at the end of the seventh. In the eighth Heppner ran up ten tallies and Arlington went down on the count, evidently having gone to smash at a critical time in the game. Heppner expects to go to Ukiah for a game on the 4th. Messrs. Woodson and Sweek, attor neys, are this week moving their office into the First National bank building and will occupy the rooms recently va cated by Sam E. Van Vactor. We are not informed as to who will move into the rooms in Masonic building being vacated by Woodson and Sweek. Dean Goodman reports that since May 1st Heppner Garage has disposed of six Buicks and two super-six Hudsons, and that the best part of it was that each sale was for cash. An indication that money matters are getting somewhat easier. In fact it is noticed that a large number of new cars are putting in their appearance and the auto trade is pick ing up quite lively. I. R. Clabough was home for a short time the past week from Portland. He returned to the city Monday, where Mrs. Clabough is now a patient in St Vin cent's hospital. Commander of Local Post A. L. Makes Statement The preamble of the American Le gion's constitution states that it is ded icated to God and Country. The Legion, during its career of only three years has demonstrated that it is the best in surance policy the Nation has. Our post appeals to all eligible ex service men in this community to join the Legion and to aid our fight for Americanism. The blue and gold button of the American Legion marks its wear er as one who has not thrown away his patriotism with the uniform. It means that he has not "passed the buck" to someone else to see that the sick and disabled buddies get justice and to fulfill all those things that he desired to result from the war. Every man in the service hoped to better things after the war. More than two million doughboys, gobs and gyr enes realized that it was going to be a fight to bring to pass all the things that they dreamed of. The result of this prevailing sentiment was the formation of the American Legion. Legion members are from every branch of the service, from those who were forced to remain at home to men who won the congressional medal at Chateau-Theirry and in the Argonne. It includes all ranks from private to gen eral. Our Legion post can be the most ben eficial organization in this community. Its purposes are high; its ideals are untarnished. It deserves your support and the membership of every war vet eran. Join Heppner post of the Amer ican Legion and make it the beat post in your state. JAS. F. COOKE, Commander Heppner Post No. 87. Colorado Potato Beetle Appears in Heppner (By C. C. Calkins.) The Colorado potato beetle has made its appearance in fields around Heppner and are present in numbers sufficient to be alarming in case immediate steps are not taken to control it Thoae who are not familiar with the potato beetle can see specimens of the adults, larvae and the eggs in the window of Humph reys Drug store. The adult beetle spends the winter In the ground, appears in the spring by the time the potato has put out its aixth pair of leaves and deposits the eggs on the under surface of the foliage. These hatch out in ten to twelve days and the slugs will feed upon the foliage and if present in any numbers will rapidly eat all the leaves off of the plant These then enter into the soil as pupate and then emerge as beetles again to in turn lay eggs which will hatch and also ma ture here during the season. Immediate steps should be taken to control them. Every man who has any potatoes should examine his field and see whether they are present They ean be eontroled where found on limited areas by hand picking the beetles and larvae and destroying them. If they are present in any numbers or you have a large acreage you should make arrangements immediately to spray these potatoes with the solution of calcium or lead arsenate made up of three pounds to 100 gallons of water. This will have to be applied so that it will reach the nnder surface of the leaves. A second and third spraying should be applied at two week intervals. It will perhaps be easier to apply the poison as a dust on a limited area. One part of lead arsenate should be added to about 8 parts of sifted wood ashes and this can be sifted through a coarse bag. If in doubt as to whether you have potato beetles or not we will be glad to inspect them for you if you will call the county agent's office. Every field where they appear should be cleaned up be cause if they get started in this section it will mean that it will be necessary to spray two or three times every year or it will be impossible to raise pota toes. Now is the time to get them. Do your part Mrs. Mary Boyden. formerly of this city, who now makes her home with her son, Dr. Guy Boyden in Portland, sus tained a broken hip recently. Mrs. Boy den fell down a flight of stairs and the injury resulted. J. W. Osborn, extensive land owner of Cecil was in this city yesterday. Mr. Osborn is residing in Portland most of the time now. Mr. Blackman Is Now f Hera On Annual Visit Henry Blackman arrived in Heppner on Sunday, coming in from Portland, and will visit with his relatives in this city for a few days. Mr. Blackman makes his home at San Francisco but still retains interests in this city and is called here once or twice a year to look after his affairs. Always loyal to the old home town. Mr. Blackman never fails to give us a boost on proper occasion, as witness the following from "Those Who Come and Go" column of the Oregonian: "Morrow county people in Portland will celebrate with a reunion in Laurel hurst park, on July 4,' says Henry blackman. Although he lives in San Francisco, Mr. Blackman insists on reg istering from Heppner and every year he sends money for his subscription to the Heppner Gazette in order to keep in touch with his old home Mr. Blackman is president of the Morrow County so ciety, which embraces about 200 former residents of that county who live in Portland. Host of the Morrow county contingent are from Heppner, and a dozen of them hold a daily session in the Imperial lobby and discuss the wea ther and crops and sheep and lands of Morrow county just as though they were sitting on the sidewalk of the principal hotel in Heppner." A little daughter of H. L. Johnson of Parkers Mill was thrown from a wa gon Monday, and the wheel striking the side of her head entirely severed her ear and left it hanging by a slender piece of skin. Dr. Chick sttended to her injuries. He placed the injured ear in position and hopes that it will heal properly. Miss Rita Norris, for the past two years teacher of home economics in Heppner high school, and elected to the same place for the coming year, has tendered her resignation to the board of directors and will not return to Heppner. Her successor has not vet been chosen. Jack Mulligan came over from Condon last evening and will be in Heppner for the rest of the week.

CUIUS GEE! 1NSPIRATID1M, SUCCESS Six-Day Program of Ellisoa-Whlle Well Attended. Maaieal Nasabera and Lec tures Civea Are of High Order. Last Namber By New York City Male Quar tette Tonight With the programs of today, the six days of Heppner's big Chautauqua will pass. They have been days of genuine entertainment to the large audiences at the big tent and so far as we are able to judge not a number of the list of twelve attractions so far rendered has been in the least disappointing. The program was well balanced and the Chautauqua this week has been drawing fine crowds, demonstrating the fact that our people fully appreciate entertain ment of this high order. The Steelman-Marriner-Taylor trio opened the program on Saturday after noon and this was followed by the or ganization of the Junior Chautauqua. In the evening the trio gave a concert pre lude and this was followed by character studies by A. Mather Hilburn, the mas ter entertainer and prince of funsters. This program was particularly well en joyed. The Glen L. Morris company appear ed on both the Sunday afternoon and Sunday evening programs and present ed to the Chsutauquans his wonderful experiments and tricks in electricity. Mr. Morris appeared in Heppner last season and his entertainment was just as much enjoyed on this visit as it was the first Following Mr. Morris in the afternoon was Margaret Garrison, gifted reader and entertainer, pronounced to be one of hte best in this line on the circuit As a gloom dispeller she is certainly a success, and demonstrated this fact in spite of the disagreeably warm weather of Sunday afternoon. "Private" Harold Peat was on for the lecture Sunday evening, his subject be ing "Introducing Your Neighbor," and he came with a real message on interna tional relationships, giving our folks an insight as to the real feeling existing between his native country, Canada, and the United States. The international line is getting to be more and more im aginary as he looks at it He presented sensible and workable ideas and placed his everlasting condemnation on war and the war program. His lecture can not fail of doing much good. In fact the entire lecture program has been of the highest order. Arthur Walwyn Evans, Dr. Lydia Allen De Vil biss and Chancellor George H. Bradford are each in a class by themselves. Mr. Evans had for his subject "Let There Be Light" and there was nothing dull or provincial in the two hours of talk that came forth from him. It was full of entertaining stories and brilliant ora tory. He was here the third night Dt. De Vilbiss, prominent New York physi cian, entertained with a health lecture of much interest to women and children, and Chancellor Bradford on "This Way Up," gave a lecture on the value of prop er education. It was an uplifting and forceful discourse, and delivered in, a simple manner and was easily grasped by the boys and girls as well as the old er folks. The Jugo-Slav Tamburicans were a stellar attraction and on Tuesday eve ning the play, "Turn to the Right," was the big drawing card and received high praise. It was presented by the Keigh ley Broadway players. The Chautauqua, as stated above has been a great success and Ellison-White have delivered the goods in both talent and program and there is no complaint Whether we shall have Chautauqua next year is now being decided by the sign ing of the guarantee. Pledges were tak en Tuesday evening for season tickets and aobut half the required amount signed up. This is not any too encour aging, but it looks now as though the guarantee would reeeive the necessary number of signatures to bring the Chau tauqua here next season. Lost One 3-year-old horse; color bay brown, weight about 800; branded F L connected (Fred Lucas brand) on left shoulder.
