Powdery mildew of roses is a dif ficult disease to handle. The best way Is to start sa soon as new growth begins in the spring and apply the finest dusting sulphur obtainable at weekly intervals, says the Oregon Experiment station. The early morning while the air is still is the best time to make the appli cations. The early spring is the best time to poison gray digger squirrels, says the Oregon Extension service. The squirrels have not been out of hiber nation long, consequently are hun gry and will take poison more read ily than at any other time. The poi soned grain may be obtained from any county agent, at cost. Oregon now has 275 subordinate granges, located in scattered com munities in every county of the state. Maggots have been causing con siderable loss to cattlemen this spring following the dehorning of their yearlings, and the danger in creases with the advent of warmer weather. The best treatment is to put in the cavity something that will vaporize quickly, such as gaso line, ether, or chloroform, and to rub the top of the head with pine tar, says the Oregon Experiment service. Careful watching is nec essary to see that the treatment is proving effective. Early dehorning in ordinary seasons avoids the trouble. Thp Hprret nf success in conking: eggs, and dishes in which eggs pre dominate, is to cook slowly, at a mode rate, even temperature. A Horse For An Hour and Twenty Minutes Imagine the work a strong, tireless horse could do for you in an hour and twenty min utes, never stopping to rest, but pulling stead ily and evenly. One horsepower for an hour and one-third is approximately one "kilowatt-hour," the unit by which electric service is measured to you. Its power to serve you is much more ver satile, more flexible than that of the horse. You can make it lift tons or wash your most delicate clothes. You can make it flood acres or toast your bread a delicate brown. You can make it saw your wood or freeze a dessert. It will perform innumerable tasks at the snap of a switch ! We have made ready for your use an un failing supply of this stupendous force. "Electricity is cheap Let it do the heavy pulling" Pacific Power and Light Company "Always at your Service" Census States Figures On Four Morrow Towns Census figures for the four larg' est townB of Morrow county and two other precincts have been an nounced by A.

WHICH REMINDS US THAT YOU ARE "ALL WET" IF YOUR CAR ISN'T EQUIPPED WITH THESE NEW GOODYEARS AT THE LOW PRICES NOW PRE VAILING. Earl Hallock was seen going down the street the other day with a roll of music. Who said he could not carry a tune? We heard a party talking out loud the other day, and the sum and substance of the thought was that cows must be pretty much ashamed of themselves when they see some flappers chewing gum, News dispatch from New Jer sey tells about a cloud of moths flying up the street. Maybe a Scotchman opened up his purse. NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO OPEN UP YOUR PURSE AND BUY GOODYEAR TIRES. WE WILL LET YOU IN ON THE SE CRET THAT YOU CAN DO BET TER NOW THAN LATER ON.

Then there was the Irish gen tleman who was glad he didn't like bacon, because he knew that if he did like it, he would eat it, and he hated the darned stuff. In spite of our skepticism man has finnlly made a complete con quest of nte air. He can now fly like a bird, but he still has lots to learn from his feathered friends. It will be a long time, for instance, be fore he is able to sit comfortably on a barbed wire fence. Dat's AU! "How long in jail fo Mose?" "Two weeks." "What am de cha'ge?" " "No cha'ge, everything is free." "Ah mean, what has yo' did?" "Done shot my wife." "Yo' all killed yo' wife and only in jail fo' two weeks?" "Dat's all then I gets hung." AND OF COURSE YOU HAVE ALL HEARD THE STORY ABOUT THE HEPPNER MAN WHO MADE US PROVE THAT WE COULD GIVE HIM THE BEST JOB OF WASHING AND GREAS ING THAT CAN BE OBTAINED IN HEPPNER. All W.
