SHOW AT BOARDMAN
Board man held its first school indus-
trial show last week. The new com-
inunity was assembled for several

first year of farming in that vicinity.
Corn was one of the chief exhibits and
a number of samples were 12 to 14
feet high and heavily eared. Forage
grasses like Sudan and millet were ex
hibited in collections equal or better
than most older sections. Vegetables,
flowers, pigs, canning displays, poul
try, hares and fancy work appeared in
beautiful
array.
Farmer Smith,
Emmett Callahan and E. P. Dodd were
the judges.

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.

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

secretary. Cash was paid when the
animals were led away.
