WAR IS ND OBSTACLE TO
HOLDING DAIRY-HOG SHOW
The annual Dairy and Hog Show will
be held again this year This was de-
ded st » representative meeting of
” cbers and business men held at the
library Monday evening, and from the
Ta the plans were worked out at that
time it would seem that it is the aim
t surpass in grandeur and ponder-
ance the magnificent displays at for-
mes fall festivals that made the events
0 popular and brought people from
far and near to witness them.
The county court has already set
side $500 for use of the Dairy and
Hog Show, and with the usual dona-
tioDS from the business interests of
Hermiston and other local people tbai
have been in the habit of making
small contributions, the financing of
the fair is already assured. Then the
Industrial School Exhibit will be held
in conjunction, which
has always
proved a great drawing card, and will
again this year, no doubt.
It was pointed out at the meeting
that the holding of the Dairy and Hog
Show annually was an incentive for
the ranchers to secure better stock,
and that it was one of the best all
round upbuilding events for the com­
munity as a whole.
County Agent M. S. Shrock, who
was present, said he was very much
in favor of the holding of such shows,
and he believed the people of this
community would make a great mis-
take if they let it lapse at any time,
for it was a great impetus to the very
industry the Hermiston ranchers want
to push most—that of dairying and hog
raising.
After speaking of the valiant work
done by a certain few at past fairs in
the way of manual labor in preparing
everything for the event, and advanc­
ing the opinion that ranchers should
help with this work this year, Geo.
A Creasy moved that a general com
mittee of a dozen or more be appoint­
ed to look after and direct the work of
making preparation for the fair and
that a grounds committee of five be
appointed to work io conjunction with
them and to look to the details of hav­
ing suitable housing for the stock and
other exhibits. The date of the show
will be sec later. The meeting was
under the auspices of the Commercial
I Club, E. P. Dodd presiding.

NEW REGISTRATION LAW
FOR THE YOUNG MEN
;
After many ups and downs In the
way of signing up instructors for the
forthcoming term, the Hermiston
school board has at Iasi completed the
selection of a staff of teachers that
ihey believe will giye universal satis­
faction. The ups and downs came
through applications being made and
afterwards withdrawn, thus causing
the board unavoidable delay through
necessity of seeking elsewhere to fill
certain of the positions.
The school term will open on the
9th of September this year, and pres
ent indications are that the enrollment
will be equal to that of last term.
Following is a list of the teachers em
ployed:
High school—A. C. Voelker, super­
intendent, Miss Lucy N. Martin, Miss
Clara G. Hall.
Grades—Miss Merle Hall, Miss Bess
Hall, Miss Hah Hoag, Miss Francis
Gardinier, Mrs. Edna Tooley, Miss
Emily J. Mills.

By proclamation of President Wilson
the first of the week and an order re­
ceived by County Clerk Brown from
Adjutant General Crowder last Tues­
day evening, all men who have reach­
ed the age of 21 years since June 5,
1918, and all who have reached that
age on or before next Saturday, Aug­
ust 24, must register for military ser­
vice at the office of the county clerk in
Pendleton on August 24, 1918.
This new registration order is separ­
ate and apart from the one coming on
in September, and all registrants are
cautioned not to confuse the two.

At last it looks as though the dairy-
men of this proj-ct are about to take a
step in the right direction by the addi­
tion to their herds of pure-bred dairy
animals. They realize that the time
has come for them to build up their
dairy stock, and they believe that
opportunity presents itself to do this
at nominal cost. What they have in
mind, as expressed at a meeting of the
local Jersey Breeders' Association in
the library Monday evening, la to se­
cure pure bred dairy cows from the
Willamette valley, where registered
stock is in abundance and hay isscaroe
as hen's teeth and as high in price
just now as Gilroy's kite. The incen­
tive to sell out before they starve out
has come to the owners of some of the
finest registered herds of butterfat
producers in that section, and as a re­
sult they are offering pedigreed cows
for sale there now at from $165 to 9175
that a year or two ago they would
scoff at selling for less t han 8225 to
$250 and up.

M. S. Shrnck, county agricultural
agent, who is taking quite an interest
in the dairy industry throughout the
county along with his other duties,
was present at the meeting, and upon
being asked for information on the
subject said that he had visited in the
lower valley recently and circulated
quite extensively among dairymen
there at the request of Umapine
ranchers, who desired to secure pure-
bred Jersey stock. The information
he secured was to the effect that there
was abundance of Jerseys there that
the owners would be willing to dispose
of at a nominal price on account of no
feed.
Several others spoke, all voicing the
sentiment that the time had come for
the acquisition of pure-bred cows to FT
build up herds with the excellent
pedigreed bulls owned by the Jersey
Breeders Association, and the result
was that quite a number signed up to
lake an animal or two, providing the
standards and tests of the Willamette
valley cows prove satisfactory on fur­
ther investigation.
