The Worth Of Hope.

Whenever we get the idea that things
cannot be any better than they are, we
are partners in the influences that make
them worse. No thing is so bad but
what it can be made better. There is no
greater treason in the world of righteous
effort than to sit down and sigh, saying
that there is no help for things. There
always is help for things. 1t depen31
largely upon a mans hope, as to whether
he will lift his hands to help make
things better than they are. 1t is eve
the cry of the coward that says, it is no
use, we cannot do anything. The hope
full heart ever looks on the bright sides
and where the battle is one for righteous
ness. he takes double courage, for he
knows that in the long run right the
day will win. We are saved by hope; we
are inspired by hope; the saddest sight
in this world is a hopeless soul; he sits
in darkness, and in the shadow OF death.

It's in the Lens.

There are many distorted pictures of
life. The picture is conveyed through
the lens of the eye, and makes it's i'm
preston according to the condition of
the lens. The lens is responsible for
the correctness of the picture. To get
a perfect picture one must have a per-
feet lens. So also is the lens of the
Kingdom. Some pictures are very in
definite, with little detail or perspective;
others are in focus at one point and out
of focus at another. A correct lens
makes a correct picture. Be careful of
your lens when you are taking a view OF
things in the Kingdom.-Baptist
Union.

board Of control will make a rigid
investigation of the circumstances
connected with the escape of three
convicts who have taken their de-
parture from the Rankin State farm
within the past few weeks. 1t is be-
lieyed by the prison authorities that
sufficient vigilance is not manifested
by the guards on the Rankin farm,
for the convicts who took their de-
parture simply walked away.

Blindness

AS o. blind bird in its Sight SO is he
who goes through the world and dis
Germs not the beauty OF his Maker. As
the bird has no spirit o. song. SO the
blind soul is not actuated by the spirit
of worship. AS the bird knows not
where it shall rest its wings when weary,
neither knoweth the sightless mar
where his prayerless spirit shall repose
when he has reached the end.-United

Lou HOwerh After Getting Money
Skips the Country.

| The news leaked out this week of q
clever forgery perpetrated by Lou How
eth who fraudulently secured $500 from
Frank Borg.
Howeth who is an old resident of
Morrow county and who is we'll known
g has heretofore borne good rep
Ia y, and it vas not difficult for him
O ,leiiaud his friends. Several months
ago be went to Frank Borg and asked
tor small loan and produced note
for 1920, signed by Harry Jones. which
he wanted to put up for security. AS
Howeth had been working for Mr..
Jones, Mr.. Borg thought nothing of it,
in fact, Mr.. Borg stated to the Gazette
that he would have loaned Ho eth the
sum asked for without any security, but
as Howethginssted on him taking the
note, he took it for security. This ran
on until last November when Howeth
again went to Mr.. Borg aud asked for
1925 on the note which was furnished.
A week ago last Wednesday Howeth
again went to.Mr. Borg and wanted to
sell the note stating that he would take
the face value for it, giving the accrued
interest for the accommodation. Mr..
Borg paid him the balance making
1920. A few days after this, Mr.. Jones
was IN town, and as the note was near
ing maturity, Mr.. Borg spoke to Mr..
Jones about it. 1t was then learned
that the paper had been forged. Mr..
Borg Immediately notified Sheriff Shut.
but Howeth was not to be found, hsv-
ing left Heppner on the first train after
he had received the money. 1t was
learned also that he had mortgaged his
property here and had gotten every
thing he had into money before leaving.
The officers are now looking for him.

NJ D. L. French, prominent ranch
man of Hinton creek, claims a stalk OF

it for the Lewis and Clark fair, he said
he should like to do so, but it was
more important to save it for seed.
Ours is a bunch producing country, a
feature which makes our ranges SO val
liable for their native grass. Alfalfa is
subject to the same freak.
A great difference in yield may be
noticed on adjoining wheat farms con-
tanning the same kind Of soil and sub
ject to the same weather conditions.
The conclusion is inevitable that the
difference comes from different meth
ods of farming. AS our country gets
older no doubt the best results will be
obtained by adopting those methods
which have been found by experience
to produce the best. One farmer reap

acre this season from land he intended
to summer fallow, but didn't get
