real estate department of the

state office has made every ef-

alfalfa seed off five acres recently,
which is said to be the best yield

Monthly Meeting
Lt
The regular monthly meeting of
the Hermiston Fire Department was
held Monday night at the library.
There was a fairly good attendance,
and quite a bit of routine business
was transacted. The members talk
ed of having a banquet, a social or
an annual ball
It is likely they
will decide on the latter and give
out the date of the affair at the
next meeting, or sooner.
It was decided that hereafter the
fire bell is to ring at 7 p. m.
for notification of the arrival of the
monthly fire meeting, and the fire
men are then supposed to assemble
at the library promptly at 8 o’clock.
Bees Bring Money
Mrs. M. F. Miller sold her one
hundred colonies of bees last Mon
day to Eli Winesett, receiving there
for a check for $600. They were in

their minds whether they will return

years.
GOOD PLAY SCHEDULED
FOR TONIGHT AT MOVIE

Chautauqua, Hermiston, Oct. 30-Nov. 4, 1919
A great stroke of work was done
at the Show grounds Tuesday and
the community and project in gener
al should render a vote of thanks
to each individual who so nobly gave
his time. The work done is of a
praiseworthy nature and was done
very unselfishly. Old
men and
young men were there, and all in
terested in their work. Each man
present worked hard and faithful
ly to finish the job. Several times,
while at work, remarks like the fol
lowing were made: "It is a plea
sure to live where there is so much
"It Is
public spirit manifested.”
surprising t see the interest shown
here today.” Every one is working
like mad,"etc.
In all there were seventy work-
men present. Some were not able
to put in only a part of the day, but
said they would conic another day.
The work is well under way, but not
completed, and next Monday Oct.
20th, all who can possibly give a
day are requested to bring their
hammers and help finish up the
good work. Next Wednesday is the
first day of the show and all of the
work must be done before that time.
The committee th charge of the ex
hibits are very anixoits to see every-
one of the four hundred feet of
stalls filled.
There are some farmers on the
project who say they "have nothing
good enough to show.” Of course,
there is a lot of animals on the pro
ject that are not show animals, but
all of the better class should be in.
Three prizes are offered in each
class, that means places for a lot of
animals that are not quite up to the
best. Bring them In. and help to
do your part as well as your neigh
