Single Copy 10 Cents. Odd Ends . . . Unbeknownst to most people, a new state law will go into effect this month which will do much to control itinerate peddlers who frequently work this area, cither legitimately or otherwise. It requires any person who desires to sell any item, except produce which he himself grows from the soil of Oregon, or at wholesale, to pur chase a license from the treasurer of every county in which he wishes to sell his merchandise. If he plans to walk to hawk his wares on foot, his per mit will cost him only $25 per year, but if he drives any sort of conveyance it will be $100. In addition he must post a bond equal to the amount of the license which will be held by the county to satisfy any claim:; against the peddler by his cust om ?rs or other persons. The title "Peddler", according to the law, means every person who, for himself or as an agent of another, goes from place to place or from house to house, carrying for sale and offer ing or exposing for sale any goods, wares or merchandise, or who offers to sell from catalog or sample, at retail to individual purchasers who arp not dealers in the articles sold. In other words, the law applies to all "route" men,, salesmen and peddlers of any type ofj merchandise except farmproduce grown by the seller himself. It was written for the protection j of the public, end it will be up to the public to( reoort immediately any such peddler. He may be i perfectly legitimate, or he may not, but if he; doesn't have a county license, 10 cnances to one, there's a catch somewhere In what he is selling. o Did you ever sec such a summer for screwy weather. This last week has felt like October rather than the first of August. Wonder when summer's coming? o Facelifting and redecorating has been quite prevalent around Heppner this summer and it's really surprising what a little paint can do, Isn't it. It's good for a town to go on a painting and fixing-up spree once in a while, gives everybody a little lift that they can use about this time of the year, Just before harvest is over and the money starts to circulate again. From The County Agent's Office By N. C. Anderson Three weeks from the time that this is being written we will be well into our annual county fair. It starts this year one day earlier and ends one day earlier because of a conflict with the Shrine foot ball game at Pendleton. Four-H club activities will get under way on Tuesday, August 27 with open class exhibits in place Wednes day morning, the 28th with all activities to end on Friday after noon, August 30. Because of this schedule many of the 4-H club activities will be advanced one day. The 4-H style revue there fore will be held on Wednesday night, August 28 and the 4-H club auction sale on Thursday night August 29. This will leave Friday evening, August 30 open for the annual evening rodeo which will be changed to avoid conflict with the Saturday night football game With the closeness of fair we would like to remind everyone to begin thinking seriously of the exhibits they are going to make. Many of your exhibits can be .selected now. We hope that there will be an increase in quality and quantity of exhibits over 1950, which was the best year yet. one of the finest Suffolk flocks in the country purchased one of the top Suffolk rams of this sale as his flock ram. One of the top rams to go through the sale was consigned by Eldon Riddel, prom inent Suffolk breeder from Inde pendence. For the 4-H club mem bers of the Greenup family two excellent Southdown ewes and a Shropshire w er e purcchased. An Eldon Riddel Southdown ram was purchased to go with these ewes. This ram is one of the most outstanding that I have yet to see in the Southdown breed. Don also bought an additional South--down ram which is for sale t& anyone who might like a ram of this breed. My guess is that the Greenup children will be showing some grand champion lambs at 4-H events in the years to come, results spray sweet corn three times as follows: First, the day after the silks appears; Second, three days later; Third, three days later.

He has a natural aptitude for making friends and knows how to avoid making enemies even in difficult circumstances.
