Heppner Times
An indication that a very large a
mount of grain lr being harvested in
this county is that almost every day
now farmers are in for farm machin
ery Threshing will start up about the
first of next week.
N. Williamson of Moscow, Idaho,
buys the entire stock of the Fair
Store. A bill of sale has been filed
with County Clerk Hill from S. E.

The dog killer has been at large
the past few days in Heppner and the
result Is some dozen dead dogs, some
of which were classed as very fine an
imals. While our city may have alto
gether too many worthless curs, it
would seem that a more humane
method than poisoning might be em- j
ployed In disposing of them. j

the finest in the country.
Adulterated Leather,
The Scientific American takes oc
casion to call attention to adulterat
ed leather. Lightweight stock is
made to pa&s the weight test by the
use of glucose and barium. Leather
so treated has a peculiar quality of
absorbing moisture at all times.
Shoes made from such stock a.r
never dry and are a constant men
ace to the health of the wearer.

There Is a lesson In the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be with
every household. Dysentery, diar
rhoea and cholera morbus may attack
some member of the home without
warning. Chamberlain, s Colic, Choi
era and Diarrhoea. Remedy, which
is the best known medicine for these
