It is hard to put into words the qual

there is heart-warming pathos,

Miss Ruth Webb, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Webb, of Walla Walla,
Wash., and Howard Cleveland, son

this city announce their marriage

Heppner Girl Gets
Souvenir From Jap
Gift to Oregon Coast
"I guess those Japs weren't
fooling," opined Mrs. Pat Healy as
the displayed a ragged little piece
of heavy metal, brought home last
week end from Astoria by her
daughter, Miss Lib Healy, who
spent the Fourth week end here
from her work in an Astoria store.
Miss Healy represented the sou
venir as part of a projectile
thrown at the Oregon coast re
cently from what is presumed to
have been a Japanese submarine.
Should the little piece of shrap
nel have hit human flesh while
speeding through the air, it would
undoubtedly have caused a very
nasty wound, Mrs. Healy believed.
American parents bought $130,
000,000 worth of toys and games for
their children during 1941. The 1942
toy pac kshouldn't cost any more
than it did last year since this indus
try now comes undr the general
maximum price regulation. Also it
is expected to come under separate
price control. Incidentally, the na
tion's toy makers preparing for
Christmas in July find a different
picture because of the shortage of
critical materials.

Henry Morgenthau Jr., Secretary of the Treasury, today made public the official War Bond Quotas by States
for the month of July, which places the nation on a Billion-dollar-a-month basis to aid in meeting the War cost.
The above table also gives May War Bond sales in the various states in comparison to the May Quotas. (June
sales by states will be available for publication shortly.) The percentage of Quotas range from 71.3 percent above
quota in Utah, to 22.6 percent below the quota in Montana, but puts the nation as a whole above the $500,000,000
total May quota. Vulnerable Alaska and Hawaii led all states in sale of War Bonds on quota basis.
"Everybody, every pay day ten percent" is the Treasury slogan which is expected to place one of the attrac
tive new window stickers In every American home. "We're Buying at Least 10" reas the sticker, printed in
the national colors. The new window stickers and the new "10" lapel button, which indicates that the wearer is
investing at least ten percent of his income in War Bonds every pay day, are yardsticks of patriotism in the War
Bond Drive. V. S, Trtaiury Dtpartnunl
Neighborhoods in
County Selected
At Second Meeting
The second step in organizing the
state under the neighborhood leader
plan is under way this week, with
the O S. C. extension service hold
ing leadership training meetings in
each county from July 6 to 13. At
these meetings the community lead
ers previously selected are in turn
dividing each community into neigh
borhoods of 10 to 20 families each,
and selecting a man and woman
leader for each.
Exceptional interest on the part of
farm leaders in Oregon in setting
up this personal contact plan of
quickly disseminating emergency
information was shown in the first
series of county meetings held wth
farmer committee heads late 'in
June, reports W. L. Teutsch, assistant
director of the extension service and'
leader of this project. Every county
but one decided to go ahead imme
diately with the plan, despite diffi
culties and obstacles, while that one
postponed decision temporarily.
Effectiveness of this plan of get
ting information out to all families
quickly has already been reported
from some other states where or
ganization was started earlier, says
Teutsch. In one state 90 percent cov
erage was otained on a test project.
The numbers of neighborhood lead
ers who operate the plan in the var
ious states range from 450 in Nevada
to close to 50,000 in Texas. Oregon
expects to have 7200 in farm com
munities and 4600 in rural non-farm
districts.
Explanation of the national pro
gram to halt the rise in the cost of
living was also being discussed at
the meetings of community leaders
this week. The vital importance of
this program to the farming indus
try as a means of avoiding the
"boom and bust" experience of the
first world war was emphasized.
Some discussion of farm trans
portation problems was also includ
ed, as it is considered that this will
probably be the No. 2 job of neigh
borhood leaders.

Oil on Corn Silk Kills
Ear Worm Pests
Com ear worms can be controlled
by the oil treatment, although in
dividual attention is necessary for
each ear, according to a new circu
lar of information No. 275, issued
by the. entomology department of
th O. S. C. exeriment station. Where
worms are bad, however, the effort
required pays good dividends for
home gardens and other plantings
not so large as to make the cost pro
hibitive. The treatment consists of apply
ing small quantities of oil or oil
containing pyrethrum extract to the
tips of the ears, says G. R. Fergu
son, assistant in entomology and
author of the circular. White min
eral oil, such as that obtainable in
drug stores for internal use is the
favored kind as it is highly purified.
To this is added sufficient pyre
thrum extract to give two-tenths of
one percent pyrethrins, the active
principle of pyrethrum, in the di
luted mixture.
The person with only a small
patch to treat can usually more
easily obtain ready mixed material
at seed stores. The circular warns
against the use of preparations con
taining dichlorethyl ether, which
has sometimes been recommended,
as it has a tendency to flavor the
corn.
Most important factor in control is
proper timing of the treatment. If
used too early the oil will prevent
pollination, hence the ears are not
treated until the silks have wilted.
Any force type oil can is recom
mended as the best means of appli
cation, as this permits the delivery
of fixed quantity of oil at each stroke
of the plunger. From 10 to 15 drops
per ear are recommended. This am
ounts to about one fluid ounce for
every 45 to 60 strokes.
The tip of the oiler is inserted
about one-fourth to one-half inch
into the tip of the husks. If insert
ed too far the tip of the ear may
be damaged and if not far enough
the oil may run out the top. For
very small gardens a medicine drop
per can be used satisfactorily.
