PAGE SIX HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1927. I Corvallit, Ore., August 22, GRAIN Favorable weather in the Spring wheat sections of the United States and Canada last week with lack of further frost damage and no further serious developments of rust caused an easier tone in the wheat market. High protein wheat sold at substan tial premiums and cash wheat brought better prices than futures. Official estimates now indicate that 60.000. 000 bushels of wheat more than last year will be produced in the Northern Hemisphere, but weather conditions may still cause change. Crop condi tions in the Southern Hemisphere are a factor. Increased receipts caused com and oats markets to go lower but barley was generally firm especially malting grades. The new corn crop made favorable progress in recent weeks but is still uncertain. The oats crop is expected to be 25, 000,000 bushels more than last year but stocks of old grain are smaller making the prospective supply 60,000, 000 bushels less than a year ago. The rye crop is expected to be 61,000,000 bushels or about 20,000,000 more than last year. A barley crop of 249,000,000 bushels is forecast which is next to a record but a short crop of corn gives strength to barley in the mar kets. FEEDS. Cash hay markets held fairly steady with western alfalfa markets benefitted by the deteriora tion of pastures. The movement of new crop hay is reported to be below normal. Official estimates for the tame hay crop now indicates 102.000, 000 tons which is the largest crop ever harvested in the United States. Wild hay is also expected to produce a heavy yield and pastures are espec ially good this year in most sections. Wheat feeds are higher on light pro duction and other feeds firm but de mand moderate. LIVESTOCK. Top grades of killer cattle in good demand but prices were inclined to weaken for poorly finished stock last week. Feeders and stock ers came in larger numbers but met demand enough to maintain steady prices. Hog markets were up and down with the situation not too strong in eastern markets where much poorly finished stock is arriving. De creased receipts of fat lambs bol stered up the markets somewhat last week generally but there is difference of opinion regarding the supplies to be marketed in the near future. Good feeders were strong and limited sup plies of all kinds found an outlet at steady prices, but there is consider able resistance to current prices by buyers and some orders going un filled. BUTTER. Prices advanced gener ally last week. Production is declin ing but running ahead of last year -.ith storage stocks gradually in creasing more rapidly than last year. On August 1 butter in storage totaled 145,146,000 pounds or about 14,000, 000 pounds more than a year earlier. APPLES. Another million barrels has been clipped off of the official es timates of the commercial apple crop.

"Even death has a wonderful mission Though it robs us of those we love; It lifts our hearts from our surround ings To long for that meeting above.

"We had only one bite a day for two weeks, and that was horse flesh." "I remember living for a month on one bite, and that was out of my leg," said O'Brien, his companion. "You don't expect n.e to believe you turned cannibal, do you?" roared the soldier, "It's true, believe it or not," said O'Brien, calmly. "A dog took a bite out of my leg, and the insurance kept me like a lord for four weeks." Marion Evans is quiet ill at the Heppner Surgical hospital, suffering from a chronic ailment.

Eighty-two cases of epidemic polio myelitis or infantile paralysis were reported to the California State Board of Health during the first two weeks of July. A few cases have been reported in Oregon. Infantile paraly sis is an acute generalized infection due to a filterable virus, occurring both in epidemics and sporadically. The infective nature of the disease has been conclusively shown. The virus attacks the nervous system and persists in the nasal secretion for a long time. The paralysis may be preceded three or four days by nausea, vomiting, and fever. How ever, a child may go to bed apparent ly well, and wake up in the morning with paralysis and slight fever. The great majority of cases are found in children under five. Cases among persons over twenty are comparative ly rare. For the benefit of the public the following regulations for the control of infantile paralysis are published: The patient should be isolated as completely as possible in a clean. bare room, well screened to keep out insects. Visiting is not permitted, and only the necessary attendant should come in contact with the case. All discharges, including sputum, na sal secretions, urine and feces, should be thoroughly disinfected. Eating utensils should be boiled. Every thing that comes in contact with the patient should be streilized. Towels, bed linen, and other fabrics should be boiled or dipped in a strong germ icidal solution. The period at which isolation should be maintained can not be guessed at. Children are not permitted to return to school for at least three weeks. In the presence of an epidemic, street and house dust should be kept down by sprinkling, oiling, or other means employed for this purpose Dust should be allayed whether there is an epidemic or not. During epi demies children should be kept away lrom public gatherings. The possibility of infantile paraly sis being a milk-borne infection em phasizes the importance of the proph ylactic value of pasteurized milk. The summer prevalence and thi rural distribution of this disease are disturbing factors with regard to summer vacations. The only safe rule is to avoid places where localized out breaks are in progress. The fact, however, that infantile paralysis does not UBUtlly strike the same place in epidemic form two succeeding sea sons makes such places reasonably safe the year following the epidemic RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE, Wherers, it has pleased our Heav enly Father to summon to her Eternal Rest our Sister, Mid red Alice Iiayless, who was a faithful member of San Soucl Rebekah Lodge No. 33, Therefore, be it resolved, that San Souci Rebekah Lodge No. 33, in testi mony of its loss and to express its love, drape its charter for thirty "WEATHERBIRD' Off to School Why take chances with the feet of your chil dren when their comfort and health mean so much to their school progress?
