Numerous complaints have
been received by price clerks of
the local war price and ration
board concerning overcharges on
used implements and farm ma
chinery, it was stated today, and
farmers were urged to find out
correct ceiling prices ahead of
time and pay no more. From the
district office in Portland it was
aiso stated Dy w. K. Vaughn, ma
chinery price specialist, that
farmers often wait until the ma.
chinery has broken down before
they complain to OPA authori
ties. Covered by price ceilings are
used combines, corn binders and
pickers, farm tractors and garden
tractors (except truck type), hay
balers, hay loaders, manure
spreaders, side delivery rakes,
tractor mounted and semi-mounted
mowers and combinations of
the foregoing. If sold within a
year after bought new, the price
is 85 per cent of new list price;
after a year the price is 70 per
cent, regardless of age, Vaughn
explained.

WALKING HORSES
BOUGHT BY CUPP
Camp White, Oct. 12 Trag
edy last night struck at the fam
ily of Sgt. Michael Scirrotto of
Camp White when his car be
came involved in an accident at
Gothenburg, Neb., killing the
Sclrrotto's baby and critically in
juring Mrs. Scirrotto.
The couple had Just completed
a 15-day furlough on the east
coast where Sgt. Scirrotto's par
ents had seen their grandson for
the first time, and were return
ing to Camp White. Another
Camp White soldier, Cpl. Paul
I rock, was in the car at the time.
Frock was also returning from
furlough after visiting his par
ents at Hanover, Pcnn. Both
Sgt. Scirrotto and Cpl. Frock
are members of the Camp White
SCU band.
Exact extent of the injuries Is
unknown.
Mr. and Mrs. John Cupp, own
ers of Snowy Butte Ranch at
Central Point, recently returned
from a 30-day trip to Tenessee
where they purchased two car
loads of registered Tennesee
walking horses. The 32-head
consists of 17 head of brood
mares and 15 head of young fil
lies and geldings, Cupp reports.
According to Cupp, the brood
mares are in foal to the finest
stallion in Tenessee and will be
kept on Snow Butte Ranch, the
home of "Chocolate Soldier,"
Cupp's fine registered Tenessee
walking stallion. The ranch
owner reports increased Interest
In Tennessee walking horses and
the demand is far greater than
the supply of good, registered
horses.
The Cupps find It increasingly
hard to keep Chocolate Soldier
in the west, he reports, increas
ing offers for him by breeders in
Tennessee tempting the couple to
sell the horse back where he
came from, but at present the
Cupps are determined to keep
Chocolate Soldier, along with the j
band of brood mares, in Oregon 1
and at Snowy Butte Ranch.
Mr. Cupp reports the sale of j
Chocolate Major, a five-months '
old stud colt, sired by Chocolate j
Soldier, for a top price of $1000,
and he believes that the fine colts 1
sired by Chocolate Soldier prove
his worth as fine breeding stallion.
