MAKE TRIP
Announcements made through this
paper some time ago, stated that all
dairy cattle of breeding age, exhibit­
ed at the Umatilla Project Fair,
should be tested for contagious abor­
tion unless the animals have prev­
iously been tested and found to be
clean.
Very few requests have come in to
have testing done, and It Is thought
that possibly people are neglecting
his Important matter.
Those in
charge of the testing would appreci­
ate having those who want the work
done, to notify the assistant county
agent immediately.

the audience from the opening flash
to the final fadeout Is an apt des-
cfipt$>n of I^en Mrf-nartfp latent
production, "The Upland Rider"
which shows at the Columbia theatre
Saturday and Sunday.
The picture abounds In thrills and
trick riding. It shows Maynard at
Ms beet for the highlight and main
feature Is that of a cros scountry
horse race that by far Is the most
daring thing this popular star has
done to date. The story is an orig­
inal by Marion Jackson. It hells
of two’ rival ranches o f the south­
west whose main ocupatlon la that
of raising and breeding horses for
the work market. One of the ranches
specializes in the tough reliable cow-
pony, while the other is endeavoring
to replace it with another breed of
Arabian strain.
The question of
superiority Is settled by thia cross­
country race la which there are 7
participants.
Ken riding Tarssn
and falling over cliffs, swimming
streams, riding at breakneck speed
down steep embankments, are Just a
few of the thrilling episodes he per­
forms.
