In this gigantic struggle nen sre needed and men and boys of bur community are taking their places n training camps and in the thick of he fight on the battle front.

ATTENTION =FOURTH= LIBERTYLOAN Pe Q Mouye The Fourth Liberty Loan is the first item on the program of national war finance since the announcement of our inten tion to put five million men in France and finish the war next year. On our response to its call for our dollars our friends and enemies will judge of our sincerity and earnestness in making that pledge. The nation's resources are ample. The success of the Fourth Liberty Loan depends on our converting a share of those resources into Fourth Liberty Bonds. Nothing more. The loan should be subscribed the first day and oversub- scribed the second day. Buy Liberty Bonds Don’t be a Turtle.

Let us beat our own previous record by fin ishing one day in advance of the regu lar opening day. That the Hermiston country is look ing for high grade Jersey cattle was well demonstrated at the sale last Saturday. The carload of cattle bought bv G. A. Creasy and M. S. Shrock for a com pany of farmers was sold at auction for high prices and every purchaser was well satisfied. The cattle were bought by 19 farmers and the auction was used as a method of distributing the animals to the men who subscribed to the purchase fund, but others were al lowed to bid, and it was a lively sale. The cattle consisted of some of the best bred stock io the state Several cows and heifers had extended records showing family strains with over 1000 pounds of butter a year on both the sire and dam sides. All the shipment had excellent records in the registry of merit and the project is fortunate in being able to introduce the blood of such butter producers into the dairy business here. Pat Sullivan made an excellent auctioneer, M. S. Shrock read off the records and Mr. Dean was secretary. Cash was paid when the animals were led away. The following bought: Clint Jack- son, cow, 8330; E. L. Jackson, cow, $220; Tbos. Campbel), cow, $185; W. Bensel, cow, 8255; Ed. Bense), cow, $155; A. F. Beisse, cow, $190; C. E.
