The Blue Devils won It to 4. Beating Condon seemed to be an easy assignment on the Con- Ion diamond when the Mustangs previously put the Blue Devils on i he sboit end of a 16 to 3 moic, but improved pitching and fielding left eppnei''s victory hopes fading as Wilmet, Mcln lie and Neal each slammed the horsebide for consecutive runs in i he lost inning. The Mustangs made a feeble cffori to retaliate but their pooi' fielding couldn't even slow down the liluc Devils. The fifth inning saw Condon mercilessly pounding the ball through a weak Heppner infield to add three more runs to llieir scoreshcet. Heppner began to rub the dirt out of its eyes in the sixth in ning v lien Skip Kuhl worked a walk into a score, as did Lance Tibbies, and Jei ry Dougherty rap liing out a single that tallied. The Mustangs will go to Ar lington today to meet the Honk ers this allernoon on their own diamond and the next sport e ent u h icli Mustangs will take p.nl in v. dl be the Condon Gal lops, invitational track meet at Condon Saturday.

Reapportionment Group Formed A meeting to formulate an or ganization to promote the placing of a new legislative reapportion ment measure on the ballot in 1950 was held Saturday, April 10 in Pendleton with representatives from many sections of Eastern Oregon being present. The organization, for which a name will be chosen later, is planning to promote the placing of the so-called "Federal plan" of reapportionment, on the ballot at the general election in 1956 and it was the feeling of those present at the meeting that the two-year delay was advisable to allow ample time for education and promotion of the plan. For the proposal to become effective, it must be a constitutional amendment. The new organization is to be s!;.te-wide in scope and represen tatives from each county will be named to the executive board. Henry Peterson of lone, was named from Morrow county. lities can be amortized over a pcr- iod of five years, j For information concerning types and sizes of storage and I equipment best suited for a far- others in Oregon mi-i 's particular si uauon, ..c i specialist suggests cneciung mm pre urch .

Grain Storage Bin Loans Available To Oregon Farmers Farmers an who are anticipating big supplies of grain this fall can borrow a large part of the cost of addition al storage space and drying equipment, says Ray Teal, seed and grain marketing specialist at Oregon State college. Teal, citing loan programs of the U. S. department ot agricul ture, explains any farm owner operator, tenant, landlord or pro ducer partnership is eligible to participate. Applications for loans may be made at county agricultural stabilization and conservation offices. i Loans may be made either di rectly through the county office; or a local bank and can be on storage of wheat, oats, barley and dry edible beans. Farmers in Oregon can borrow up to 80 percent of the cost of new storage bins, cribs or other ap proved storage structures, the specialist says. However, the structure must meet require ments for storage under the price support program. Four years may be used to pay loans off. The firsi installment is payable 12 months after Hie loan is made. Interest rate is 4 percent per year. Up to 75 percent of the deliver ed and assembled cost exclusive of labor costs of storage equip ment needs to keep stored grain in proper condition may be bor rowed under the program. This includes mobile mechanical dry ers, air circulators, ventilators, tunnels and fans, Teal states. Storage equipment loans are payable in three annual install ments. As in the case of storage structure loans, the first install ment is payable 12 months after the loan is made. Interest rate is -1 percent per year. There are also special income tax features in the program. Teal adds. They are that cost of new f;:i'm or commercial storage faci- county extension o- agents.

These facts about the New Chevrolet can help you make an important decision Don't you agree that buying a new car calls for careful consideration? Regardless of make, it involves a sub stantial amount of money and a lot of future satisfac tion. This information can give you a better idea of com parative value and help you decide which make to buy. PHONE 69991 4 p. m. to 12 Midnight Doily Incl. Sunday A good customer of ours was telling us the other day how lie sizes up a new ear. Because he's bought a num lier of them over the years, we were interested in what he had to say. We think you will Ik1, too. Actually, what he does is to ask about seven basic questions. The answers Rive a pretty complete pic ture of the car and its comparative value. 1 lore's what he wants to know. How well do I like its looks? That's one question, of course, that only you can answer. You're the one who buys the car and .you, above anylnxly else, should be proud of its apxaraiut All we can tell you is that we hear a lot of nice things about Chevrolet's new styling. People seem to like the new front-end and rear-end designs, and the way the bumpers curve even farther around the fenders. They like the new styling touches all around the car and the wide choice of bright new colors and two-tone combinations. A gcxxl many tell us that Chevrolet has a decided edge over the other cars in its field for smooth and graceful lines. Who makes the body? This question takes in much more territory than the appearance of the ear. It involves the quality of the interior as well as the strength and safety of the body construction. That's why we think it worth your consideration that Chevrolet has the only Body by Fisher in the low-price field. You can see the difference outside and inside. We'd especially like you to look over the new interiors. Just sit in the car, if you will. Feel the quality of the fabrics and notice the more generous use of vinyl trim. In all these ways, you'll find evi dence of superior quality and work manship. And after all, isn't that what you would expect in Body by Fisher? As you know, Fisher is the largest and most famous manufac turer of automobile bodies in the world. Doesn't it stand to reason that Fisher can build extra quality into the Chevrolet body? It's there and you can see it. What's under the hood? You hear a great deal of talk these days about engine power. The truth is that the number of horsepower isn't nearly as important as what the horsepower does for you. In this year's Chevrolet, you get increased power in two finer engines. There's the "Blue-Flame 125" engine teamed with Powerglide automatic transmission and optional on all models at extra cost. In gearshift models, you get the more powerful "Blue-Flame 115" engine. But, actually, the increase in horsepower is only a sort of by product of design changes made for other reasons. Chevrolet engineers were after greater engine efficiency, not just greater power. So, you get improved acceleration, with greater and safer passing ability. You get quieter, smoother operation. You climb the steep hills with new ease. How hungry is it for gasoline? A car's reputation for, and record of, economy of operation is certainly an important consideration to most people. We'd be glad to have you compare Chevrolet in this respect with any car at any price. And, in the case of this new Chev rolet, you do not have to sacrifice economy for finer performance and more horsepower. That's because the Chevrolet engines are high-compression engines. Their compression ratio of 7.5 to 1 is the highest in any of the leading low-priced cars. This means simply that the engine compresses, or squeezes, the fuel mix ture to a greater degree in order to wring more work out of it. That's how Chevrolet is able to give you an important gain in performance along with money-saving gasoline mileage and on regular gas, of course. Is it up to d3te in features? We can't think of a new feature or development you might want that you can't have on the new Chevrolet. Now you can have Chevrolet's zippy, and thrifty Powerglide automatic transmission on any model. You can have Power Steering on all models and at a new, lower price. You can have Automatic Window and Seat Controls on any Bel Air or "Two Ten" model, and you can have Power Brakes on any model equipped with Powerglide. All are, of course, optional features at extra cost. How popular a car is it? When you come right down to it, there's no better way to judge the satisfaction a car gives its owners than by its popularity. How many people buy it and keep on buying it? Well, as you may know, Chevrolet is by far the most popular car in this country. That's true today and it's been true for a good many years now. But it couldn't be true or wouldn't be true unless Chevrolet gave its owners an extra measure of satisfac tion and value. How much does it cost? There's a short, sweet answer to that one: Chevrolet is priced below all other lines of cars. This lower cost is made possible by the greater production facilities and purchasing power of the world's largest manufacturer of auto mobiles. That is why Chevrolet can offer you all the advantages we've told you about here and many more, too. We'd be more than glad to have you see all these things for yourself and to try out this new Chevrolet on the road. We'll be happy to see you at any time.
