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.

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.
