The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1916-12-22


Mr. Bryan wants law TO compcl
newspapers 70 give u greater space
for matters the government desires
published.
Every newspaper is flooded now
with requests for publicl,y from near.
ly every department and official bu-
reau, state and federal.
Newspapers receive from five to
ten letters In days mail settlnp
forth the Importance and value Of
services performed by boards, officials
and commissions.
Time taken TO prepare all this mat
ter, paper and postage, are all a. pub
lie expense and increase the cost OF
government and sock to expand public
functions.
High taxes. high cost Of cfficIalIsm
and constant increase of overhead cx-
pcnses largely are due now to gov
crnmcntal press bureaus.
Why should the newspapers be
aakod 10 run oil this free Of chargcY

An excellent program was given
at the Fairvicw school in district
No. 90 Friday evening to celebrate
the close of the first term of tht
school year. After the exercises a
fish pond afforded much amusement.
the proceeds to be used for school
pictures and the travelling library.
Miss Mary Lansdale has "a pupils
in regular attendance. with all eight
grades represented. The Fairview
school is among the largest in the
county taught by one teacher.
With the assistance Of many good
brethren from Athena local Knights
of Pythias conferred the third rank
Wednesday night upon A. r. Perry.
The regular rank work was supple
mentcd by exceedingly rank work
of a different character for the par
ticular benefit of this particular
candidate, and the lodge was pleas
antly occupied until midnight. The
second rank was received by Jake
Narkaus.
ID. X. Wood is on a deal with a
Mr.. Robbins for 1900 acres Of land
lying seven miles from Echo, his
feed mill going in on the
trade. Weston will thereby lose
one of its most valued citizens, and
the local.band will be minus a good
clarinet player in the person Of
Allison Wood. We wish Dave well,
however, in the ranching game.

This Il the harvest time. There will
be great disappointment II you. read
er. must take up the dolsful lamen-
tation The summer Il past and no
harvest for me" The summer ID
past and M soul IL not saved. And
the unsavel one may be In our home.
Our indifference. our prayerlessness.
our lack Of interest in the revival
may be the explanation for the un-
saved ones In our home. A revival
Is not an accident. Revival comes
from expectancy, from planning. and
from personal work. May we not
hope for the presence Of every men,
Der and every friend Of the Metho-
dist church present for the Sunday
service! We will bring two great
themes TO the people Sunday. One
will be our "Mothers." which will be
delivered Sunday night. Every man
and woman who loves their mother;
and every father and mother Of La
Junta. who can. IL invited to attend
the services Sunday night.
DO not forget special sermon to
mothers Sunday night. II would be
an appreciative thing to do for the
brotherhood TO be present in = body
Sunday night. In honor Of their wives
and mothers. We will look for you,
