LIKES ARMY LIFE
"Army life suits me fine and I
may decide to become a profession
al soldier," stated Capt. Ed Bur
chell who arrived in Heppner Mon
day evening to spend about a week
with Mrs- Burchell and the boys.
Although he has been across and
near the front, Capt. Burchell is
still engaged in training work on
this side, being located at Camp
Edwards, Mass, There are four units
in his command, all located on Cape
Cod, and Capt. Burchell knows his
cod like Bostonians know their
beans. The amphibian command is
both a land and a water unit and
to be a member one has to be pro
ficient in both land and water
tactics.
Ed says he has been enjoying
eating beef since coming home. In
the New England states meatless
days are indulged in by both ssi
vice and civilian populations. He
looks for further curtailment in the
western areas to permit a better
distribution. He has had plenty 6f
mutton and is not interested in
sheep but the white faces look
good to him.

FEW BACK PACK PUMPS
FOR SALE TO FARMERS
Back pack pmps, those handy
little one-man fire departments, are
available to farmers, states County
Agent C. D. Conrad. There are 14
of the pumps on hand and these
may be purchased by farmers if
they wish them.
Because of the unusually heavy
growth of cheat and other noxious
grasses, Conrad urges the use of
these little fire fighters on every
farm. They will do more good out
where the fires are apt to start
than they will in the agent's office,
