Farm machinery and equipment generally are subject to wear and breakage, and constant attention to repairs is necessary. The extent to which repair work is done on the farm depends upon local cir cumstances. If there is a well equip ped shop nearby where the work can be done efficiently without loss of time the greater part of it may be done there; but if the shop is at a distance, is poorly 'equipped, or the mechanic in charge is incapa ble of turning out good work, it will be a saving to perform the work at home. Besides, there is a large amount of repair work which can not be carried to a shop and of necessity must be done on the farm. The saving in time and expense makes a repair outfit an important part of the farm equipment. The selection of the tools will depend upon the scope and kind of work to be performed. A small, well selec ted outfit, efficiently used and well cared for is better than a large miscellaneous assortment improp erly used. The following list of tools includes most of the more de sirable ones for the farm: Wood-working tools: axe, hatchet, crosscut saw, compass saw, ripping saw, steel square, draw knife, brace and augur bits, screw driver bit, screw driver, smoothing plane, wood chisels, claw hammers, spokeshave, folding rule, chalk line, spirit level and wood maul. Iron-working tools: riveting ham mer, monkey wrenches, S-wrenches. aligator wrench, pipe wrench, punches, cold chisels, flies, forge, anvil, blacksmith hammer, sledge hammer, tongs, vise, drill press or ratchet drill, drill bits, hack saw, soldering iron, stock and dies. General tools: tinners' snips, pli ers, cutting nippers, crowbar, claw bar, oil cans, wire stretcher, staple puller, leather punch, rivet set and riveting machine. These lists of tools and supplies may include articles not urgently needed on some farms. In deciding which to purchase first, selection is based on the relative usefulness of the articles. Saving is possible, says the farm management depart ment of the Oregon State college, if tools can be purchased in combinations. TO THE PUBLIC. Those stop signs along the streets of Heppner entering the state high way, must be observed. Most people recognize them but others do not, seeming to take the signs as a joke and pay no attention to them. From now on anyone passing' them up will be given a tag and sent to the City Recorder to explain. The sign says STOP, not slow down, so take warning. By Order of City Officers. Mr. and Mrs. Spencer Akers and Mrs. Carrie Vaughn motored up from Portland on Monday, Mrs. Vaughn returning home after spending the winter months with a sister, Mrs. Doolittle, at Cottage Grove, and with her son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Akers, in Portland. fVictors of the Six Day Bike iiaccM&&K 1 yTTfry. rf Ay I- P 'A few , i -AVit Garden,,Kew York, winning the 46th International Six-Day Race. av Dike Square Bicycle Stream Pollution Subject for Expert Investigation (College News Service, O. S. A. C.) Corvallis, March 20. A compre hensive program of control of stream pollution in this state is proposed in a preliminary report just issued as a bulletin of the Ore gon State college engineering exper iment station. Steps proposed for bringing about adequate control are a preliminary survey this coming summer of the Willamette valley streams by the engineering experi ment station in cooperation with the state board of health and the fish and game commission. This preliminary survey, it is said, would indicate the urgency of con ditions and probable scope of a state wide survey carried out under the direction of the state board of health and the fish and game com mission. Only after such a compre hensive study can adequate legisla tion for the future be framed, the report says. Clair V. Langton, new head of the department of public health and physical education at the state college, and Dean H. S. Rogers, di rector of the engineering experi ment station, are authors of the re port, which also includes findings of geologists, bacteriologists, zoolo gists and chemists on the college staff. Dr. Langton has conducted similar sanitary surveys in large middle western states. Sanitary surveys, says the re port, are conducted to ascertain hazards to public health and con servation of aquatic and flsh life. Gathering of necessary information, which is a highly technical proced ure, would eliminate development of unfavorable conditions and should result in great economic savings in future planning. The report was compiled at the request of the executive committee of the League of Oregon Municipal ities which is studying the matter of pollution of Oregon streams. Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Crawford are comfortably located in Walla Walla where Otheo is conducting a quick print shop. Both Mr. and Mrs. Crawford are figuring prominently in musical cricles there. "I feel it coming," 6aid Billie Rab bit to his brother Bobbie. "Feel what coming?" asked Bob bie. "I feel it coming that I'm going to learn something and I want you to tell me where I can go to find out what I want to know." Bobbie answered: "I don't know what you are after, but why not consult the Wise Old Owl he knows everything." "Fine idea!" exclaimed Billie. "DoiVt you want me to go with you?" asked Bobbie, in a surprised tone. "I'd be glad to have you, but I didn't know you wanted to learn. I want to learn more than we learn at school." "Come on then, and we'll go and consult the Wise Old Owl who it usually in the old oak tree." In a few minutes the young Rab bits were at the foot of the oak tree and the Wise Old Owl was looking down at them as though he could see, although he really couldn't look at them until it was quite dark. "I pray thee," began Billie, "we came to ask for knowledge. Can you tell us anything we do not know?" "Ahem, ahem, ahem!!" went the Wise Old Owl. "How many full moons in a year? And where does the new moon rise and where does the full moon rise, and " "Wait, wait! You go too fast," shouted Bobbie. The two Rabbits were thoughtful for a time and then they said: "We give up." "How stupid!!" sighed the Wise Old Owl. "Here you are running around every night and know noth ing about the moon. My dears, there are thirteen full moons in a year and the new moon rises in the East and the full moon" in the West That's enough for one night Run along now, for the Goblins will get you if you don t watch out."

A little foresight will mean a finer garden There is a surprise when you first taste the melting sweetness of Ferry's sweet corn. It is not ordi nary sweet corn by any means. Nor is a plump, red, smooth-skinned Ferry tomato like an ordinary to mato. Nor are the Ferry's Seeds that grow these like ordinary seeds. Remember that when you buy '""'uC? 4 purebred J Ferry's purebred Seeds, you buy inherited quality. Quality is bred into the seeds. A careful up-breeding of vegetables and flowers has been going on in the Ferry trial gardens for 51 years. This means that the Ferry's Seeds you can plant today came from parent plants and grandparent plants thatwere them selves purebred. Sixty thousand tests are made annually in the Ferry gardens for germination. Thousands of other trials are made for size, form, color, resistance to disease. So far as is humanly pos sible, we determine that every crop will meet the Ferry standards. Ferry's Seeds are easy for am teurs to make grow well, and a e naturally the choice of professional gardeners. They are fresh for planting now, at the "store around the corner." No packet of Ferry's Seeds is ever carried over by the dealer for sale the second season. Send for the Ferry's Seed Annual. It is more than a catalog. Address D. M. Ferry & Co., Dept. H, 500 Paul Ave., San Francisco, Calif. Your garden will have its best possible start. with Ferry's purebred Seeds. Dclco Light Lightens Spring Work on Farm (Paid Adv.) "Arrival of spring on the farm, besides bringing intense activity for the man in the fields, also brings housecleaning time for the farm woman and only, too often it is necessary for her to spend from a f eok to ten days In doing this work by old-fashioned tiresome methods," says Wm. Mahrt, local Delco-Light representative, of Hardman. "However, several farm women In this vicinity are going to do their spring housecleaning this year in a lot less time and without near the hard work, through the modern con veniences of Delco-Light electric service and running water under pressure," he continued. According to Mr. Mahrt, these housewives will do their sweeping of rugs right on the floor instead of taking them out on the clothes line or on the grass to be beaten by hand, and instead of standing over a tub of hot water trying to get their window curtains clean by rubbing them on an old-fashioned washboard, they will put the cur tains in an electric washing mach ine, turn a switch and let the wash er do the work. "Then when it comes to ironing the curtains, it will not be neces sary for them to make countless trips between the ironing board and the kitchen stove to keep the flat iron hot, for they will stand or sit right at the board and use an electric iron that stays hot all the time it is in use," he says. "But that is not all the help they are going to have, for instead of car rying, nobody knows how many buckets of water from the outside pump to the house for scrubbing, all they will do is go to the kitchen sink or the bathroom upstairs, turn a faucet and get all the water they need." "While the women folks are us ing electricity and running water to help them, these great modern conveniences also will be helping Elsie fanis III Elsie Jams, known during the war as tht'".iweetheart of the A. fc.

Both girls are doing well in their music and have played on a number of occasions. Mrs. Helen Walker has moved to Salem where she will join Mr. Wal ker, the boys remaining here until the close of school.
