Brewer At Club Luncheon By F. L. Ballard Reports from all parts of the Northwest show a surplus of hay in practically every district. This sur plus, together with a general short age in numbers of livestock, is ere ating a serious economic situation, and drives home, pointedly, the fact that many districts, practicularly Deschutes county, will not be on a stable agricultural basis until the greater portion of hay raised is con sumed on the home ranches. Malheur county is another district suffering because of a lopsided farm ing system. A few years ago that district made a promising start in the dairy business, but when the high prices of hay arrived, they sold their, dairy animals, believing there was more profit in selling the hay. Now after three or four years they have thousands of tons of hay which they would be glad to sell for 38 a top as they have no stock to use it. The farmers there are now trying to ob tain dairy stock, but find the prices high and good stock scarce. To get re-established in the dairy business will cost them the greater part of the profits made selling hay. Farming should be treated as a business extending over a period ol years, and a definite system followed year after year to assure greatest re sults in a ten or fifteen-year period. There is no more profitable mar ket for hay in most years than thal produced by a well-bred dairy cow from a line of good producers. In Deschutes county, particularly, condì tions are favorable for• development of a dairy district. The local mar ket is good and the small irrigated ranches especially adapted to a sys tern of farming should Include pota toes for a cash crop, and alfalfa and ensilage for feeding the dairy cattle, and in some instances, farm flocks of sheep. Such a system followed by 90 per cent of the farmers would build up a very prosperous commun ity if followed year in and year out for a period of years.— Deschutes County Farm Bureau News. Thanksgiving Foot Ball The Hermiston High School foot ball team will play Athena High Schoon in Hermiston on Thanksgiv ing day. This will be a great game and will give the Hermiston boys a chance to clean up that end of the county. The boys go to Athena on th 20th and play a game there, and on Thanksgiving day Athena comes here for a return game. Football Saturday In the absence of President E. P. Dodd and Vive-President F. B. Swayze at the regular Commercial Club luncheon Tuesday. Thomas Campbell was elected to the chair. Secretary Prime read a communica tion from parties interested in the installation of a laundry here and a committee was appointed to collect data for them. A letter from the Tri-State Automobile Association was read taking up the matter of giving more publicity to Hermiston on the new* maps to be issued. The Port land trade excursionists sent a letter to the club expressing their apprec iation of the entertainment given them while in Hermiston and extend ing an invitation to the club to par ticipate in the open forum of the Portland Chamber of Commerce on November 29th. Chairman Campbell introduced J. W. Brewer, field secretary of the State Chamber of Commerce, who has been here several times before in the interests of the state, and was on his way to speak before the Pendle ton Commercial Club in the drive for funds for the organization he repre- senta. Mr. Brewer spoke of the ser vice they desired to give to everyone in the state, making the office of the Chamber of Commerce a clearing house for all the problems that con- front the merchant, the farmer and every resident of the state, and also see that the incoming settler gets accurate information as to prospec tive purchases and a fair deal all round. The State Chamber of Com merce, he said, Is not connected with the Portland Chamber and its in terests lie with all the state outside of Portland. Red Cross Drive to Start Thursday H. E. Hitt, chairman In charge of the Red Cross drive which is to start Thursday has plans completed for the work, and asks the cooperation of all residents so that the work may be accomplished as rapidly and easily as possible. The territory to be canvas sed will be divide dinto sections and cars assigned to each locality, two women in each car acting as collect ors. No other organization received the support the Red Cross invariably call forth, and it Is felt that all calls to rally to the help of “The Greatest Mother in the World,” will meet with unstinted and ungrudging response. The term used so often during war days, “over the top” still carries with it a feeling of enthusiasm. Let us all go over the top with a cheer and make up our quota in the short est possible time. The American Red Cross No. 9 BIG FOOT BALL GAME TO BE PLAYED HERE SATURDAY > Football fans are ail excited over AUDITORIUM BUILDING the prospects of one of the hest IS GREATLY IMPROVED games < f football that has ever been ___ » The Auditorium on the West Side, owned by Tom Marxen, has been un dergoing improvements for the past two weeks, and persons attending the Armistice Day ball Thursday even ing were amazed at the changes that had ben made by the owner.

One of the largest crowds ever seen on the local field is expected to be out to watch the Hermiston and Pendleton teams.
