Ewe Paralysis Topic of Expert; Lambing Starts (Oregon Wool Grower) With lambing operations under way In western Oregon and soon to start in eastern Oregon the subject of pregnant ewe paralysis, as dis cussed by Dr. W. H. Lytle, State Veterinarian, is of much Interest to sheep men at this time. Pregnant Ewe Paralysis This malady of ewes is a disorder that is quite common in ewes that are bred for early lambing. Old coarse-bred ewes, that is those past six years of age, are the more sus ceptible because their teeth are not good and their food is not so well chewed, they are stiff and will not move about so much, they are not so rugged and they do not drink so much cold water. The paralysis is apparently due to an excessive consumption of pro tein feeds resulting in the forma tion of albumin, uric acid, and other excessive protein food and waste products that poison the system and cause a paralysis. The thing that apparently kills the ewe Is a food poisoning from food decomposition taking place in the Intestines. Bul ky coarse hay feeds, pressure from carrying twin lambs, lack of exer cise and the consumption of too lit tle water all tend toward constipa tion, food toxemia, and the fatal ending. In prevention lies the solution of the problem of this disease control. Such flock management as will cause the ewes to eat less coarse hay feeds and slightly more concen trates, take more exercise, and drink more water during cold weather will tend to prevent the disorder. The disease Is seldom ever seen in ewes not being lambed in the winter and is most frequently en countered immediately following a winter cold spell indicating that the lack of exercise and the failure to drink a sufficient amount of water is a strong contributing cause. This Is the time to be on guard. During the winter's cold snap, If within three weeks of lamb ing, drive the ewes at least three miles per day. This can be done by causing them to follow a hay wag on, if they can not be moved out to the range or they can be driven about the yard. In the Willamette Valley section it is well to have the feed yards or winter pasture a con siderable distance from the sheds. Also feed hay at night. This will cause the ewes to go out and graze during the day and get exercise. A tank heater with warm water if the ewes drink out of a trough" will greatly add to the consumption of water during cold weather, the most essential thing for prevention. When tank heaters are not used molasses in the water or on the feed will cause the ewes to drink twice the amount of water. The sugar warms up their systems and they drink twice the amount This additional water loosens up the bowels, flushes out the kidneys and eliminates the poisonous body wastes. Treatment Is not aa a rule suc cessful. If attempted, strong pur gatives, drenching with molasses and water followed by hypodermic ally administered purgatives by a veterinarian may save the mild cages. Enemas or rectal Injections of two quarts of warm water with half an ounce of aloes and eight ounces of Epsom salts will help get the ellmlnative organs to function ing. Valuable or pure bred ewes may be saved occasionally through a cesarean operation If undertaken in time. Sour Cream Cake Cream 1-2 cup butter and 2 cups sugar. Add 3 eggs well beaten. Dissolve 1-2 teaspoon soda in 1 cup our cream and add alternately with 3 cups of flour (sifted) to the sugar and egg mixture.

Allen planned a lovely surprise for her mother, Mrs. Kelly, honoring her birthday, on Saturday. At the close of a pleasant afternoon Mrs. Allen served a lovely lunch. Present were Mesdames Calkins, Johnson, Smith, Messenger, Cram er, Blayden, Porter, Warner, Sher man and the honor guest Mrs. Kel ly and Mrs. Allen. One of the pleasantest evening entertainments was that at which Mrs. Royal Rands presided on Sat urday night The merriment start ed by the telling of a story, "The Tale of a Peacock," by Mrs. Ralph Davis, which was well received and justly so, but the company was thrown into a state of hysterical laughter by the lady's efforts to ex plain size, color, whereabouts of a monster in the Arizona desert For her efforts she was awarded 1st prize, two beautifully burned buns. Mrs. Nate Macomber, another hu morist of the evening, received sec ond pize, a dish of nile green pick les, which she calmly proceeded to consume all by herself. The guests of the evening were Miss Alice Falk, Mrs. Ralph Davis, L. Packard, L. Spagle, Messrs. and Mesdames J. C. Ballenger, Chas. Goodwin, L. G. Smith, Nate Ma comber and A. Porter. Cards fol lowed with Miss Falk and Mr. Spa gle receiving highest scores. Boardman was well represented at Heppner this week when two cases were heard at the court the damage suit of Alec Wilson against Glen Carpenter for personal injury, and that of Weldon Ayers for con tributing to the delinquency of a minor. Mr. and Mrs. Royal Rands ex tended their hospitality two eve nings last week. On Friday night they had four tables of 500. At the close of an interesting game Mrs. Brice Dillabough and Jack Gorham were awarded first prizes, and Mr. Dillabough and Mrs. Blayden re ceived the consolation. The hostess served a lovely lunch. Present weYe Messrs. and Mesdames Mead, Dilla bough, Gorham, Blayden, Fortler, Marschat, Ransier and Brown. (Continued from First Pare) New Spring Dresses now arriving at Curran Hat Shop. These are .priced right 46-tf. current session will attempt to un tangle. Thee Is also a possibility of legis lation Increasing the damages paid to owners of sheep killed by the un known dogs, for In the opinion of Senator Clarence Butt there is need of change. "The lump sum adjustment made under the present law is unfair," he said when Interviewed concerning the harm done in Yamhill county by sheep-killing dogs. "In 1927, the damages paid averaged less than $5.00 per head on sheep killed, re gardless of the value of the sheep." Senator Butt quoted figures to show that In Yamhill county alone there were 325 sheep and goats killed last year by unknown dogs, and that It was estimated at least twice that many more were killed but unreported. At an average val ue of $10.00 per head, the loss in that county amounted to about $10, 000.00 for the year. Against this loss, however, only $1410.05 was paid. It is with these figures in mind that Senator Butt claims that the present law Is "un fair." Sale of Land for Taxes The sale of land, acquired by the state in lieu of taxes, will be made easier, If a bill introduced In the senate by Senator Edward F. Bailey of Junction City becomes a law. The bill which provides for the can cellation of interest and penalties on delinauent butea nn nrnnoptu on- quired by the state, Is sponsored by me worm war veterans state aid commission. "The passage of the proposed bill will aid eraatlv In th Kaiiincr r state owned land," said Frank Moore, secretary of the World war veterans' state aid commission. "It means that the sale price will be materially lowered, allowing many the opportunity of buying. The land will come to us much cheaper, which in itself it a big item, since many war veterans buy on a 10 or 12 year contract "With every sale of state land It means added tax revenue. Where land Is sold on contract we retain the title, but the land Is placed back on the tax roll. Thus, land which has not been yielding one cent of taxes, again produces a revenue for the county," Mr. Moore said. Under the provisions of the pro posed bill, the state land board will be benefitted In the sale of its land, Mr. Moore added. Would Limit Holiday Holidays have reached their ze nith, especially school holidays, said Representative James H. Hai lett of Hood River county when questioned concerning a bill he in troduced into the house during the current legislative session. His bill proposes to amend an Oregon law to do away with Washington's birthday as a school holiday. Representative Hazlett pointed out that under the proposed law it is necessary for school to be called for at least an hour and a half be fore dismissal for the holiday. In rural districts where it Is necessary to transport tne pupils to and from school, the day is not only disrupt ed but there is a needless expense to the district It is the opinion of Representa tive Hazlett that, holidays have In creased beyond reason, both for the schools and the business world. Banks, he said, are beginning to protest at the number of legal hol idays which interfere with their regular business. Controversy Expected Considerable controversy is ex pected when two bills, concerning dower and courtesy rights intro duced by Representative James H. E. Scott of Umatilla county, come up for debate later in the session. These companion bills would extend the rights of dower and courtesy to personal property, a departure from the present law which restricts such inheritance to real property. De cided opinions for and against the measures have been expressed, and nveiy aeoate is anticipated on them. Under the provisions of these bills, in cases where a husband or wife has died intestate, the dower and courtesy rights include one- third of the personal property, in addition to the already existing right of life interest in one-half of the real property. A further pro vision of the bills is that the widow or widower may substitute a title in one-third of the lands for the life interest in one-half of the lands. Representative Scott pointed out that in many cases where there was no real property, the present law works a real hardship to the heirs, and that these bills were designed primarily to provide justice in such cases. Several other prominent at torneys inteviewed upon the sub ject, felt that it was quite a radical legal departure and that the terms "dower" and "curtesy" could not be interpreted to mean anything but real property. Some Tariff Memorials "I am a good .Democrat," said Senator Edward F. Bailey of Junc tion City, "but if I voted 'no' on a bill to increase the tariff on poultry poducts I should be afraid that my constituents who were poultry rais ers would pelt me with eggs on my return." This seems to be the sentiment of the four lone Democrats in the Sen ate and House at this session of the legislature, for with one exception, they have so far endorsed the five memorials to Congress increasing the tariff on agricultural products. Representative Joseph N. Scott of Pendleton voted 'no' on the propos ed increase on bananas, but wheth er for fondness for bananas or fi delity to the principles of his party prompted his vote he did not say. mere have been five proposed memorials to Congress on tariff in crease, these covering timber, cher ries, Alberts, eggs, and bananas. The question of a blanket memor ial covering all agricultural products was discussed in the House commit tee on Agriculture. The chairman. Representative Chindgren of Clack amas county, felt, however, that too general a raising of the tariff would jeopardize some products, and he urged rather, that a careful survey of the agricultural products of the Northwest needing tariff re vision be made, and those products included in one memorial. Senator In New Head Piece Senator Fred E. Kiddle has a new hat It is not the kind of hat us ually seen on men who come from such counties as Morrow, Umatilla and Union. Neither Is it the kind of a hat which loyal Republicans wore during the recent political campaign. It is a derby hat; and when Senator Kiddle appears in it about the legislative halls he cre ates a mild sensation. Before buying that new separator, come and see us.

Murphy was convicted and sentenced for a robbery in Marlon, O., five years ago and became known as No. 62,410 In the Ohio State Penitentiary. He changed his number for a nom de plume, Bert Stokes, and un der that name wrote war stories for a magazine which netted him $7,000. Now the pen has proved mighty enough to open the prison gates for him next month. When Murphy entered prison he knew nothing about writing, beyond the rudiments picked up in elementary school. Before him there was a long stretch of time, ten to fifteen years. To while away that time he decided to learn writing. Murphy's literary career Is the second to find itself within the walls of the Ohio State Penitentiary. Thirty years ago a prisoner named Sydney Porter, serving a Ave year term for embezzlement started writing short stories under the pseudonym of O. Henry. Made Long Flight London. Lady Bailey, wife of Sir Abe Bailey, arrived at Croydon Held recently, completing a 16,000 mile solo flight from London to Capetown.
