PAY A WAR TAX IF YOU TRAVEL NOW Concurrent with the advance of the postal rates whereby it requires three two cent stamp, comes the war tax on railway tickets, messages, theatres, and many other lines of business. To travel now one has to pay the railway fare, plus eight cents on every dollar paid for a ticket. Thia applies to railway lines within the United States, and extends to steamship tickets sold within its borders, the same applying thereto. In sending a message the party sending must pay the extra war tax, and in all cases the buyer and not the seller must pay the tax. F. C. Woughter, local station agent, collected his first war tax on a ticket Tuesday of this week, although the law did not become operative until Thursday. This came about by the telegraphing of a ticket reading Her- miston destination to a party in Port- land and not being informed just what day the party would start for this city, Mr. Woughter took no chances, and therefore charged the purchaser here with the extra tax, which was paid willingly.

But in order to JERSEY CATTLE SEEM TO PREDOMINATE Out of the seventy-five head of stock oo exhibition at the Fair last Friday and Saturday, seventy-one were of Jer sey breed Most of them were owned by members of the Local Jersey Breed ers’ Association, an organiztion tbat erme into being in the spring of 1915, at which time three bulls of the best producing strain of Jersey breed were bought, and last year a fourth bull of the same breeding was added. The marked contrast in the young stock shown this year over those shown at former shows was very noticeable. The first heifer to come in milk from these bulls took first place among tbe two year old milkers and thoee under that age. Posted conspicuously about the walls were attractive placards sent to the local organisation by the Amer ican Jersey Cattle Club of New York City for use during the continuance LIBERTY LOAN OVER- SUBSRIBED IN DISTRICT Hermiston subscribed 115 per cent of its quota of the bond issue ot $15,000 the total subscription being $17,300. The quota of $15,000 was assigned to the territory covered by the First National bank of Hermiston. Uma tilla not having a bank was included ic this district and it contributed to the amount subscribed here. In addi tion to this a much larger sum was subacri bed through the railroad and other interests direct to Portland If the total were allowed to this district the percentage would be near 140 per cent. The largest individual subscriber was Dr. M. 3. Kero, of Pendleton, who has large interests here. Dr Kero, who Is president of the Inland Empire Lumber company, Is very much inter- ested io the development of this dis trict snd placed bis subscription to the bond issue here. He is a consistent supporter of the project and is placing most of his investments here as rapid ly as they can be transferred, having just this week made other property io vestments In Hermiston with a view to future building and making this his home. Everyone who was able to buy a bond did so willingly and expressed a desire to help the government in every way possible. Others strained their resources to buy a bond and were will. Ing to help at tbe coat of personal sacrifices. Ths spirit in supportof tbe war was excellent, and eager to make the strength of the country strong as early ss possible so ss to end the struggle. They are ready for tbe next call and will be loyal to the last. PAUL JONES CALL ED TO CALIFORNIA All unexpectedly came a message late last week calling Pau) S Jones of this city into the service of the govern ment as junior civil engineer In t e war department, with headquarters at San Francisco, the assignment being on river and bai bor development. Mr. J ones s' rived on the Umatilla project in the fall of 1915, and since then has acted as so agriculturist un der the irrigated field corps of the government. Prior to the departure 1 hurtday of Mr. and Mrs Jones for their new home the gentleman tem- poiarily turned his office over to Sup erintendent R W. Allen of the Uma. tilla Experiment Station. APPLE SHIPPING GOES MERRILY ON Wednesday of this week two more big carloads of extra fancy apples were shipped out of Hermiston, and later joined a trainload at Pet dleloa for shipment east. W.
