Smallest Wheat Supply.
Dispatches from Chicago state the
visible wheat supply in the United
States sugrpests the smallest stocks
per capita of which there is record.
March 1 the supply comprised 208,
000,000 bushels as compared with 221,
000,000 bushels at the same time last
year.
Rust Attacks Valley Grain.
State Market Agent Spence reports
considerable rust apparent on the
wheat and oat fields of the Willam
ette Valley, and that many of the
fields will be more or less damaged.
Big Fruit Crop Indicated.
Reports from many sections of the
Willamette Valley are that there will
be a jrenerally large crop this year
weather conditions having been most
favorable for all varieties.
Flax Better Than Oats.
George R. Hyslop of the farm crop
department of the O. A. C, says that
as there will doubtless be a large
carry-over of corn in the east and
middle west, and as there is consid
erable carry-over of oats in Oregon,
the chances are that the oat price
will be low this year, and with this
and the guaranteed price 0? flax in
view, he believes that at least $5 an
acre over similar plantings of oats
may be realized except on exceedingly
rich land. But even at that the oat
yields will have to exceed 60 to 75
bushels an acre. Mr. Hyslop says he
feels safe in the general recommen
dation that flax be planted in lieu of
oats in many places in Washington,
Clackamas, Yamhill, Marion, Linn,
Benton, Lane and Douglas counties,
in western Oregon, and in Wallowa,
Union, Baker and Crook counties in
Eastern Oregon.
Federal Officials Coming.
W. H. Sampson of the Department
of Agriculture of Washington, D. C,
specialist in fruit and vegetable stan
dardization, will be in Portland April
12 and 13, when he will meet with the
State Board of Horticulture at its
annual meeting, on grade matters.
Richest of Alt Nations.
The Department of Commerce esti
mates that the wealth of the United
States is around $350,000,000,000, mak
ing it the richest nation on earth. If
this country is to continue as the
world's leading nation, agriculture
must be stabilized, says the State
Market Agent. "Industrialism is go
ing ahead at record-breaking pace,
while agriculture is slipping back,
and it seems to me that the country
cannot long have general prosperity
with two standards. Commenting on
this situation the National Farm
News of Washington, D. C, says:
"Either the farmer must make a
profit out of his toil or he must stop
fanning, and when the day arrives for

OBITUARY.
Joseph Hugh Gemmell w-as born
August 8, 1862, in Wigtonshire, Scot
land, and died at Heppner, Oregon,
March 25th, 1926, at the age of 73
years, 7 months and 17 days. He
came to America in the year 1869,
and with his mother resided for a time
in Muscateen county, Iowa. In 1879
he was united in marriage to Emma
A. Gaskill, daughter of Rev. and Mrs,
Thomas A. Gaskill of Corning, Iowa.
To this union 8 children were born,
four of whom died in childhood. Mr.
Gemmell with his family came to this
state in 1886 and settled on Butter
creek in what is now a part of Mor
row county, where they resided for a
period of four years. They then re
moved to Lexington where they lived
for seven years and seven years more
they spent on a homestead out from
Lexington, following which period of
time they removed to Heppner and
have made their home here since.
He is survived by his widow, Em
ma A, four sons and fourteen grand
children. The sons are Arthur W.
and Paul M. of Heppner, Chester H. of
Helix and Walter H. of The Dalles,
all of whom were present with their
families to attend the last sad rites.
One brother, James Gemmell, of Cor
ning, Iowa, also survives.
Mr. Gemmell was an honored pion
eer of this county and in his long
years of residence here was highly
esteemed because of his excellent
qualities of manhood. When but a
young man he united with the church
ind all through the years he was a
faithful and devout Christian, ever
standing for the best things of life
and upholding the tenets of his faith.
He was a kind and devoted husband
and father.
Funeral services were held at the
Christian church in this city,, of which
the deceased was a member, Saturday,
March 27, at 2 o'clock, and were
largely attended by his neighbors and
friends. Milton W. Bower, pastor, de
livered a short and appropriate ad
dress, and the remains were then
borne to the .cemetery on the hill
where they were laid to rest in the
family plot.
CHURCH SCHOOL HAS TWO
PLEASANT EASTER PARTIES
The church school of All Saints'
Episcopal church gave two very pleas
ant Easter parties for the pupils.
On Saturday afternoon the little folks
enjoyed their customary egg hunt in
doors, owing to the rainy weather.
The Easter rabbit was present with
gifts of Easter candy to all, and
games were played. One feature was
a birthday cake, and the birthday of
fering was taken to be sent to mis
sions. The older members of the church
school met on Monday afternoon for
a social time when Mrs. Pruyn's birth
day was fittingly celebrated. At the
close nice refreshments were served.

Pierce Issues Forest
Week Proclamation
On Thursday, April 1st at Salem,
Governor Pierce issued a proclama
tion setting apart April 18 to 24 as
American forestry week, in accord
ance with a proclamation by Presi
dent Coolidge.
The Pierce proclamation urges "ev
ery citizen in our state to cooperate
with all commercial organizations,
clubs, fraternal orders, the schools,
the pulpit, the press, the radio, busi
ness houses and officers to the end
that an awakened public may deal
effectively with the fire hazard whioh
every season has swept over thous
ands of acres of our beautiful for
ests, leaving in its wake frightful
economic loss, blackened stumps, des
olation and ruin.
EASTER SERVICES HELD.
The regular Easter communion ser
vice was held at All Saints' church
on Sunday morning. Archdeacon
Creasey preached an inspiring ser
mon to a well-filled church. His
theme was the message of Easter and
the Life Eternal. The beautiful Eas
ter hymns were rendered by the choir.
. A pageant entitled "With the Cross
Around the World" was given by the
pupils of the church school. This
was a presentation service for the
Lenten mite boxes, a demonstration of
how the offerings would be used in
missionary work all over the world.
Frances White took the leading part
most efficiently and the choir fur
nished the music.

This bank is a service institution organized to meet finan
cial necessities of its depositors. The amount of its ser
vice to its dpeositors often depends on the bank balances
they maintain.
This bank must carefully protect the funds deposited
here by its depositors. Money can be loaned only when
we feel sure that it will be safe. When a depositor main
tains a reasonably large, steady balance, it is an indica
tion to us that he knows how to use money successfully.
It gives us a reason to believe that loans to him will be
safe. That is one reason why depositors who maintain
large balances get better service from their bank. They
are entitled to it.
And even more than that, a large balance provides
the depositor with sufficient funds to take care of emer
gencies and business opportunities that may arise.
