expires on October 27th.
During the last Liberty Loan Cam
paign, realizing that the farmers,
livestock men, and Others interested
in agricultural pursuits at that par

position to subscribe, no direct ap-
peal was made at that time to those
engaged in agricultural pursuits to
come to the support of the Govern
ment with their funds. THE Gov

realized prices for everything that
the ground produces and all of the in
terests connected Herewith, such as
cattle, sheep, dairying and hogs, be-
yond probably your greatest expecta-
tions and these prices are due to war
conditions. The Government expects
you to do your share, believing that
the producers will not be found want

an amount Of United States Govern

for or pay for within a reasonable
time, particularly the latter. You
can do this by going directly to your
bank as soon as you receive this let

you cannot get to the bank promptly
fill out an application blank and send
1t to your bank by mail, with the re-
quest that the bank advance the 2To

APPEAL TO FARMERsTO
BUY LIBERTY BONDS

J. D. Brown, President of the Far
mer's Union, and G. E. Spence, Mas
ter of the State Grange, have Joined
in the following appeal to farmers to
buy Liberty Bonds:
ITO THE FARMERS OF OREGON:
"As one who is engaged in agri-
culture, you know that out of the soil
comes the basic wealth of the Nation.
THE MEN WHO PRODUCE FOOD
AND BUY LIBERTY BONDS are the
men who will help the boys in the
trenches win this war. The farmer
won the War of Independence. He
was the bulwork of the country in
Lincoln's time. By the farmer Is
meant every man who is engaged in
agricultural pursuits.
A large part Of the money derived
from this Liberty Loan will go direct
ly back to farmers and agricultural
interests in payment for supplies for
the armies of our country and for
sale to the Allied Governments. All
the loans made by our Government
to the Allies, are for the purpose of
enabling them to pay for produce of
the soil and manufactures produced
in this country.
THIS IS A DIRECT APPEAL TO
THE AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS
OF OREGON. We ask you to sub
scribe to the full extent of your abil-
ity, persuade your employees and
help them to do the same, and active
ly advocate the sale Of the bonds. II
1t should happen that you are Il,
present pushed for cash, 60 to your
banker and he will assist you to any
extent. Your business is giving you
a liberal return, and 1t is nothing less
than your duty to assist the Govern.
ment that supplied the land from
which you largely profit. Get busy

and we understand that much more is
going out right away.

ANOTHER MORROW
PIONEER PASSES
Mrs. Jane Penlond Was Resident of
Morrow County 80 Years.

Death claimed another Morrow
county pioneer in the passing of Mrs.
Jane Penland at Lexington ON Mon
day, October 22nd.
While not enjoying good health for
several years past. Mrs. Penland had
been sick but short time prior to
her demise, and death came to. her
peacefully at her home in Lexington.
where she had lived for so many
years.
Funeral services were held in the
M. E. church, South, on Wednesday
afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. A.
Noyes of Heppner and attended by q
large concourse of friends and neigh
bors.
Jane Nordyke was born June 5,
1843, in Jefferson county, Iowa, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Alden Nor
dyke. She was married to William
Penland in 1860 and they remained in
Iowa until 1867, during which year
they came West and settled on Will
low creek where Lexington now
stands, and where Mrs. Penland re-
sided until her death. Lexington is
on their original homestead, and MIR.
and Mrs. Penland were actively iden-
tilted with the early, as we'll as later
history of that community. Mr.. Pen
land died in 1900, leaving to his wild
ow the large estate which they to-
gether had accumulated. They en-
gagged in farming and stockraising,
Mr.. Penland at one time being con-
sidered one of the largest sheep own
ers in Eastern Oregon. Following
his death, Mrs. Penland made disposi-
ton of some portion of the lands sit
uated in the foothills, but retained
the greater portion of the estate
which she has continued to handle IN
a prosperous way. Mrs. Penland Is
survived by one brother, Manuel Nor
dyke Of Lexington, who with his son,
Guy Nordyke and George w. Sperry
Of Heppner have been made execu-
tors of the estate by the terms of the
| will.
Aunt Jane Penland. as she was n
miliarly known by all the Lexington
people, was woman universally
loved and respected in the commun-
ity where she had so long lived. She
was quiet and unassuming and true
friend and neighbor, and as such she
will always be remembered. She gave
no thought to the frivolities Of life
but rather turned her time and atten-
ton to the serious things and was al
ways Industrious and energetic.
Nothing pertaining to the best well
fare of her community and neighbors
passed her without due consideration
and attention, and it can be truly said
of her that the world was made bet
ter because of her having lived in it.

THE AMERICAN RED
CROSS NOVELTY SHOP

Was opened on Saturday, October 13,
at los Fifth Street, Portland.
for the sale of articles of every kind,
to be donated by the people of Ore
gon.
The Portland Chapter Of the Red
Gross will manage ..the shop, along
lines similar to the "Superfluity
Shops" which have met with such
tremendous success in England and
Canada, Australia and New Zealand,
ever since the beginning of the war.
The object is to provide comforts and
luxuries for American boys on the
fighting lines, both on land and sea.
There will be no expenses connect
ed with running the shop-every-
thing will be donated-rent, fixtures,
labor, auditing and appraising, as
we'll as the articles for sale. Every
cent of money realized will 60 direct
ly to the aid and comfort Of our sol
diers and sailors.
Here is new way for you to help.
Come and buy at the store. Give ev-
erythlng you can spare to be sold to
some one else. What you don't need
some one else will. Every article
will be appraised, and sold at rea-
sonable price. The shop will take
anything you can give, from houses
and lots to thimbles-rugs, china,
silverware, books, laces, toys, furni-
ture, andirons, fancy work, candies,
automobiles, jellies, canned veget-
ables, bulbs, clean rags to be made
into rugs, ETC., etc.
Give the very best and the most
that you can. Wars are lost or won
largely on the spirit of the soldiers.
There is everything in courage and
confidence-and nothing saps cour-
age so surely as the constant discom-
forts of life in the trenches. Help to
provide the little things that mean
so much. A box of cigarettes or a
N6ll- llCuQCu DUN may w do AAuSh w
win battle as a round of ammuni-
ton.
The American Red Cross Shop is
your shop. The comforts it provides
will go to your soldier at the front.
Give him courage of knowing that the
friends at home for whom he Is sacri-
ficing everything are standing behind
him, ready to do for him all that is
possible. 1t is worth sacrifice. The
thing you give will bring comfort to
him out of all proportion to the sac
rifice you make.
The shop is open to receive con-
tributions. Remember the address
1O6 Fifth Street. Telephone, Main
SS2.

HEuBERTY LOAN
AND THE FARMER
BY D. F. HOUSTON.
Secretary Of Agriculture.


It is every citizens duty to pur-
chase Liberty bond If he is in
position to do SO. Every patriot will
regard 1t as privilege to participate
In the Liberty Loan. He win thers-
by contribute directly and effectively
to the successful prosecution Of the
war which Germany has forced upon
us. The Nations task is serious
one. 1t intimately touches each of us.
1t faces you and me. If we do not
win this war we must prepare our
selves for grave changes in our in
stitutions and to lead different sort
of life from that which we had
planned to live-from that which our
forefathers died to give us the right
to live. We shall indefinitely face
the interference Of the Prussian auto
cracy or bear permanently the intol-
erable burdens of militarism. To win
this war we must have both men and
money. l know that every farmer
wants to do all in his power for the
Nation in this day of trial. He will
not only labor to produce the neces-
sary foodstuffs but will also generous
ly contribute of his means to make 1t
possible for the men at the front to
achieve victory. l am confident that
the farmers of the land will not per-
NIT any other class to take the lead
ership in supporting the Government
in this crisis, financially or other
wise.
We are at war with Germany be-
cause Germany made war upon us,
sank our ships, killed our citizens,
and plotted against us while pro-
Tossing friendship. We were patient
till offenses became so fragrant and
insults so intolerable that it was
merely a question whether we would
admit that we were no longer a free
nation or accept the challenge Of the
war-mad, hypocritical, and medieval
Prussian militarists. There was one
choice we could not make-we were
incapable of making. We could not
"choose the path of submission and
suffer the most sacred rights of our
Nation and our people to be ignore,
and violated"
We are defending our rights as a
free nation. We are resolved that
there shall be an end Of brute force in
international affairs. What Germany's
victory would mean to the world Is
plain. There would be no right ex-
cept might, no peace save at the price
of humiliations too bitter to be borne.
Small nations could not exist. There
would be no sanctity to pledge, or
solemnity to covenant. With the
dominance of Prussian militarism,
the Anglo-Saxon struggle for free in
stitutions and liberty, persisting from
Runymede to Yorktown, with Its
Magma Charta, its Bill Of Rights, and
its Declaration of Independence, will
have been in vain. 1t is to prevent
this, to defend our rights, and to
make possible an orderly and just
peace in the world that we are at
war. The Nation calls on its citizens
for high and noble service. On some
1t calls for. service in the field; on
others for service at home; on all, II
calls for financial support. I am con-
fident that the farmers Of the Nation
will eagerly respond to the call fol
subscriptions to the Liberty Loan.

"Womanhood" is the brain child of
former President Roosevelt, who
probably is the greatest advocate of
preparedness in the United States.
More than year ago Colonel Roose-
welt foresaw the dangers to the Uni
ted States through the lassitude of
its people. He knew something radi-
cal was necessary to arouse them and
to save the country, should it become
embroiled in war
Colonel Roosevelt, who is a Gloss
personal friend of Commodore j.
Stuart Blackton, director general of
Greater Vitagraph, suggested to the
widely known motion picture mag
nate that picture, preaching "pre-
paredness in every foot of film
should be made The result is "Wo-
manhood, the Glory of the Nation"

Oyersubscribes Her Quota.

Our neighboring city, lone, has
largely oversubscribed her quota of
the Liberty Bonds. One resident of
that city took 100000 worth. but
there were many other individual sub
scriptions. They believe in backing
up their boys with the coin, and lone
has already furnished a large quota
of material for the army and navy
branches of the service. R. McElli-
gott was the heavy bond buyer, not
alone for lone, but for the entire
county.

HIGH SCHOOL STUD.
ENTS STUDYING HARD
First Football Game Will Be PLAYED
November 20.

The high school is now in tn.
throes of hard study and the interest
in the studies that is now being
shown has never been equaled in the
history of old H. H. S.. In the Do
mestic Art department several new
sewing machines have been installed,
and it now looks as if Heppner High
we're in fair way of turning out
some fair seamstresses. Fair In all
senses of the word. The Domestic
Science department is also making
great headway iii the cooking line.
1t now looks as If Heppner High Is
going to do great things In football.
Although the team as it now stands
is not very much for beef. 1t stands
out pretty we'll for speed, and we are
fairly confident Of making showing
this season. On November the Sec
ond we meet the lone eleven on their
home gridiron and We are looking for
pretty stiff fight, although we be-
lieve they can't anymore than exter-
inmate us, This will be the opening
game OF the season and we can tell
better how our team stands after the
game has been played.
The annual high school rally will
be held on the night of November 1st,
(which is the night before the lone
game. From the spirit that has been
displayed in everything the hign
school has entered into this year. It
looks as If there was gong to be some
thing doing on the night of November
1st The Freshman boys are already
making preparations for gathering
the rally wood.
The student body Of Heppner High
took up the proposition of Mr.. Hoov-
er to get every home in the district
to sign the pledge cards sent out by
the Food Conservation Board. These
cards just asked the people to pledge
to conserve certain articles OF food
of which there is now shortage, SO
as to help the United States in solving
the great food problem which now
confronts 1t. The town was divided
into districts, and certain students
|, were assigned these districts to can
vass. 1t was SO arrangtd that each
student had about the same amount
of work to do. And we are very glad
to say at this time that the students
met with grand success, although a
few homes we're encountered where
the occupants refused to sign the
tpledge. We believe though that they
refused to sign them more through
ignorance than disloyalty to the U. s.
We are hoping to still have hundred
per cent record before we are through
with the drive.
The program for the literary enter
tainmnt to be given Friday afternoon
by the Ciceronian Literary Society
was printed in last weeks issue, SC
we do not believe 1t necessary to print
1t again, but we just want to call at
tention to the fact that there Is going
to be one, and the public is cordially
invited to attend. The program will
start at 2:20 sharp.

er from year to year, and all con-
nected under ground unless broken
apart by accident. These plants are
all propagated by seed also.
OF this class of weeds the Canada
thistle is the worst in localities where
it thrives. This thistle can be told
from other thistles by the dense
clumps which it forms, varying in size
from a few feet to several acres. The
flower heads are also smaller than
those of other thistles, being about
t~hree-fourths Of an inch in diameter.
The Canada thistle has long been
recognized as a bad weed in many
parts of the country, but especial at
tention is called to it here because it
promises to be much worse in the
irrigated valleys Of Montana than in
most other parts of the United States.
With us, it makes an extremely lux
uriant growth, the stalks almost
touching each other, and growing as
high as a mans head. 1t chokes out
other crops, and the spines are so
sharp and so umerou that horses
