The pastor herewith calls the at tention of the congregation to the change of hours for service on next Sunday, August 19th, when the mass will be said at 7 o'clock instead of at 7:30. This mass will be a low mass and at that early hour so as to meet the situation with the chil dren who will make their first com munion on that day and at that hour. There will also be a ceremony for the children, that is, their solemn blessing and consecration unto God. This blessing of the children will be for all boys and girls and most es pecially for all the babies and in fants of the parish. The pastor wishes all the parents of the first communion children to go to Holy Communion also with their little ones. All those who have been con firmed or who have made their first communion this year will also go to holy communion. Misses Anna Mc Devitt and Anna McDaid will assist the pastor. Girls will procure veils, wreaths, and wear a neat, white, modest, ample dress without any display of silk or lace. The children will sing during the first commun ion mass. There will not be any other mass anywhere in the parish on next Sunday. On the Sunday after next, that is on August 26th, there will be a first mass in Hepp ner at 7:30 to be followed by a sea ond in the Sands at 9:30, not at 10:30 as has been usual in the past This advanced hour will hold only for August 26th. On the first Sunday of September, that is, Sept 2nd, there will be a parish outing at the home of Frank Nixon, and this outing will be pre ceded by a mass in the house there at 9 o'clock. The pastor hopes to see every parishoner present There will be no mass in the church in Heppner on that day. Mrs. John Jackson, who has been visiting in this city for the past two weeks with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Thompson, and numer ous old-time friends, departed on Wednesday morning for her home at Weiser, Idaho, going that far with S. P. Devin and S. E. Notson who were on their way to Boise. Miss Ethel Thompson, graduate nurse of Portland, was a week-end visitor with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Thompson in this city. Miss Thompson was accompanied to Heppner by James McCrady, a dental student of Portland, who vis ited at the home of his uncle, J. L Hanna of Hinton creek. R. J. Carsner, prominent stock man of Spray and state senator from his district was transacting business in the city this morning. the grease, which is the highest fleece weight average of any stale in the United States. Ho points out that there is still further chance for improvement along this line. This can be brought about by more careful selection of the breeding stock. According to Llndgren, rams with a long staple of wool showing lighter shrinkage would aid in the still further improvement in our wool production. It is a good idea to cnecK me dry ewes in the band," says Lind- gren. "These dry ewes cut aown the profit if there are too many or them. A man may get luo per cent lamb crop from a nock and have as many as 25 to 30 per cent dry ewes. Some growers are making a prac tice of marking the drys and ir thev eo through two years without producing a lamb, tney are oisposea of. This method tends to increase the profits of the business." Lamb fattening in Oregon oners some opportunities in the hay pro ducing sections of the state. Mr. Lindgren mentions the lamb feed ing results at the experiment sta tions at Union and Hermiston. it was shown in these tests that it re quires 225 pounds of alfalfa hay and 75 pounds of grain to fatten a nrty five pound feeder lamb in 75 days. The lambs are given a pound of grain a day and all the hay they will eat With the hay at $10 a ton and grain at $30 when feeder lambs worth 10 cents a pound, the fat lamb will pay for feed, labor and interest if he brings $10.50 per hun dred. According to Mr. Lindgren the average spread between No vember feeder lamb prices and March fat lamb prices, for the per iod of fifteen years has been $2.00 a hundred. He states further that lamb fattening is highly speculative and should not be attempted on too large a scale by the new beginner. Tells of Survey Work. 1 Elmer Williams of the U. S. Bio logical survey said: "The fight against predatory wild animals in Oregon probably started the day on which the first range sheep arrived in the state. For years it was con ducted by the individual growers, later through the legislature a boun ty was placed on the skins of scalps of the coyote, bobcat and wolf. Af ter some thirty-five or forty years of bounties the menace of the coy ote still continued to an alarming extent During 1914 the stockmen of the eleven western range states petitioned Congress for a Federal appropriation which was granted. This fund was turned over to the Biological survey of the United States Department of Agriculture who started to organize a paid force of only nine men under the direc tion of a leader in this state. From time to time the funds for this work were increased by the United States Congress. The state legisla ture of Oregon sets aside about $20, 000 a year to cooperate with the Federal Government, this state fund being handled through the State Livestock Sanitary board. The Fed eral appropriations for predatory animal control amounts to about $23,000 per year while various coun tics cooperate with funds ranging from a few dollars to as much as $2,000 per year. This provides for a force of about 34 hunters the year around. During the past twelve months the skins or scalps of 4,269 predatory animals have been taken and turned into the Portland office of the Survey, bringing the total for the past ten years to slightly over 47,000 predatory animals destroyed. In addition to the past year s kill by paid hunters, stockmen have actu ally reported over 1,600 dead coy otes poisoned by Government pois on secured through the Survey. Regarding the Utah bounty sys tem, this provides for a direct tax of 5 mills on the dollar for sheep SHEEPMEN GIVEN FACTS (Continued from First Pace) able range lands in sheep producing countries have been fully stocked. He says further that Oregon's av erage fleece weight is 9 pounds in and goats and 2 mills on the dollar for horses and cattle to provide the bounty fund. During the last two years of general bounty In Oregon this system cost the taxpayers over $275,000. The present system cost, the state, counties and Federal Government combined less than $60,000 a year. With paid hunters nearly all requests for assistance can be supplied; in cases of out break of rabies a force of trained men Is available. The funds now provided are from the general fund of state and nation. The fisherman, the timberman, the business and professional man pays his share for the general 'good of the country. Do you wish a direct tax on live stock for this work, or leave it as it now stands? Remember this! The sheepmen of Oregon properly organized can get what they want In the way of legislation. Get behind your asso ciation; you know what you want in this matter. If you don't inter est yourselves in your own prob lems no one else will. You must fight your own battles as an organ ized body of sheepmen and not as Individuals. If you do not stick up for what you want no one else will. The Biological Survey stands ready at all times to help you protect your flocks against the coyote, the bob cat and the cougar. Dr. Shaw Speaks. Dr. J. N. Shaw, veterinarian for the Oregon Agricultural college, spoke concerning sheep diseases and the importance of more know ledge of the control of these prob lems. He estimated that the annual loss In Oregon from disease amount ed to more than a million dollars. This disease problem, he stated, cov ered stiff lambs, lungers, foot rot pregnant ewe disease, and parasites. He answered questions relating to individual problems. Dr. W. H. Ly tle, state veterinarian, was present on a part of the trip and spoke con cerning control of foot rot He also covered the subject of poisonous plants. There was a keen Interest shown In all disease discussion, Prior to and throughout the series of meetings excellent cooperation has been given the association by representatives of the Forest Service. c MONEY CANT BUY A BETTER OIL . -than THE NEW ZEROLENJ- &k to 'AT CORRECT LUBRICATION SPECIALISTS A STANDARD OIL PRODUCT Rams For Sale 50 Registered Corridale Ram Lambs. 1 00 Purebred Delaine-Lincoln Crossbred Ram Lambs.
