PROCLAMATION.

This war will not be won until
every man, woman and child in the
United States gets into the fight. We
have got to sacrifice until it hurts and
then some more. We have got to
make the winning of this war our
personal business and quit trying to
shove it off onto the other fellow
We who cannot fight in the trenches
must fight at home; we have got to
quit thinking about how much we
can make out of the war and devote
our time to figuring how much we
can give up in order to win. Win we
must.
Buy no unnecessary articles. Prac-
tice the strictest economy. Unneces-
sary buying means that you are COM
peting with the government for labor
and material.
Invest your savings in War Savings
Stamps.
The President of the United States
has called upon the people of the ma
tion to indicate their self-denial by
pledging themselves on June 28th to
purchase War Savings Stamps for the
remainder of the year.
Oregon is asked to buy $780,
600 of these stamps. Morrow county
has not failed yet, and ought not to
fail in this.
in order that the citizens of this
city may not fall behind other COM
muniites in responding to the call,
hereby proclaim Friday, June 2Sth,
as War Savings Day for the City of
Heppner, upon which day all persons
shall give their pledges for the War
Savings Stamps at such time and
places and in such manner as may be
appointed by c. s. jackson, the War
Savings Director for Oregon, acting
under authority of the Secretary of
the Treasury, and pursuant to the
Proclamation of the President of the
United States.
Given under my hand and seal this
10th day of June, 1918.

NOTED SPEAKER IS
C0h|NC10 HEPPNER
DIR. NJ. g. Papazian Coming Here to
Present the Armenian Situation.

Speaking in the interests of the
American Committee for Armenian
Relief under the auspices of the Ore
gon headquarters, DR.. M. G. Papa
zian of Aintab, Turkey, will appeai
in three meetings in Morrow county
next Sunday. DR.. Papazian will
speak in lone at IL a. m, in Lexing-
ton at 2:30 p. m, and at the FEEDER.
ated church in Heppner in the eve
ming at o'clock.
DR.. Papazian is reported to be one
of the most eloquent and moving of
the war speakers who have come to
this state. He was for Is years a
professor in Central Turkey College
at Aintab. In 1895 he witnessed the
massacre when 100000 Armenians
were butchered. The church, of
which he was pastor, was totally
wiped out of existence in 1915. In
its membership were men and women
holding Bachelors and Masters de-
grees from American and European
Universities. DR.. Papazian is grad
uate of Yale. Many of DR.. Papa
zians close friends and relatives have
not been heard of for years. Wheth-
er they perished In deportation, or
are slaves in Arab villages or among
the hundreds of thousands who are
back of the British lines and who are
being cared for through the generos-
ity of the American people he does
not know.
DR.. Papazian faces the relation
ship Of the massacre of 1915 to the
war by saying that three millions of
liberty loving Armenians were in the
way of the Kaiser's ambition to ex-
tend his dominions to the Persian
gulf The plans for the massacres
were farnihsd in Berlin; the exeea-
tion of the plot, which Ambassador
Morgantheu classed the greatest in
history. was carried out by the Turks.
The American Committee granted
DR.. Papazian to the Oregon commit
tee for three weeks in the expecta-
tion that when his tour ends at
Burns, about June 80, that Oregon
will be more than 100 per cent for
Armenian relief.

married in 1879 to Mr.. VIM. Page,
who died at Hosley, England in 1894,
Mrs. Page came with her children

FARM WAGES FIXED
FOR EAST. OREGON
Eight Counties Were Represented In
Meeting at PendletOn Monday
and 1O-HOur Day Is Voted
Down.

Representatives from eight grain
growing counties of Oregon and two
from Washington gathered in Pen
dleton last Monday and came to an
agreement on a wage scale for farm
labor in the harvesting of the 1918
crop. Many other problems which
confront the farmer were also dis
cussed. The session lasted all day.
With but slight changes, the sched-
ule recommended by the committee
was adopted by the members of the
conference. For the present season
common labor during haying and
grain harvest will receive $3.50 a
day, stackers and leaders, 81; head
er and harvest drivers, $5 sack sew
ers on standard machines, $5 cooks
50. AS usual, board is included in
all these wages.
No scale was set for the numerous
other jobs, such as separator tenders.
engineers and the like, it being the
general opinion that the variance in
prices was altogether too great to be
averaged.
The proposal for a ten hour day
was voted down. There were two
labor delegates present at the con-
ference, one from Sherman and one
from Gillian county.
Probably the most apparent reason
for the farmer to not sanction a
greater raise in wages is due to the
fact that at the present time there is
no serious labor shortage. In view
of the anticipated shortage, many
farmers earlier in the season cut
their cloth accordingly and prepared
to harvest with harvesters requiring
less labor. They are also preparing
to get into the harness themselves.
Included in the attendance of about
rs representative farmers and agri-
culturists was party of farm advis-
ors returning from meeting in Port
land. Amosg them were DR.. E. o.
Wilson, farm specialist in the de-
partment of agriculture, and farm
help specialists Lyons, of Wyoming;
Thomas, of Colorado; ]. c. Scott, of
Washington, M. o. Evans, supervisor
of the work in IL northwest states;
George Thometz, of Idaho and J. w.
Brewer of Oregon, who had charge of
the meeting.
The Oregon counties represented
1T the conference were Baker, Union,
Wallowa, Umatilla, Morrow, Gillian.
Sherman, Wasco. County agent F..
R. Brown and Chas. Pointer of Lex
ington were among those attending
from Morrow county, Mr.. Brown be-
ing on the wage scale committee.

The sessions of the Conference
were very interesting and profitable
to all those who attended. The larg-
est delegation from the outside came
from Moro. 1t was expected that a
number would be present from The
Dalles and other Central Oregon
towns but they failed to come for
some reason. However, this did not
dampen the enthusiasm of those who
did attend and the Heppner people
were much impressed with the nice
young ladies that came over from
Moro and the wish is expressed that
they may all come again.

TABER HAS AN OFFICER

Taber town has United States
commissioner now in the person Of
L. I. Davis, the dry farmer and mer-
chant. Mr.. Davis has been on the
dry farm all summer, and he will be
n the store all fall and winter. He
has just received his appointment
as commissioner and can administer
oaths, and take the affidavits Of set
tiers wishing to transact business
with the land office. The home
steader wishing to make final proof
in sport of his claim, or do any
other business requiring an affidavit,
no longer needs to journey to Black
foot for that. Mr.. Davis can take
care 1t.
Heretofore the homesteader and
his witnesses had to make trip to
Blackfoot, and If they came by train
they had to stay two nights and a day
to get into the land office at all in
business hours. a

would first be put in proper form
linen 1t would be put into condition
as to softening to receive and mix
with the gravel. There is a machine
called a scarifier, to scar the surface
of a road when it is hard and dry. 1t
is like a large, strong harrow,
and each spike tears absolutely to the
depth it is set at. The ground would
| be loosened six inches deep and
gravel poured on four inches deep as
nearly as could be banged. Then
the harrow or scarifier would pass
over to pack them down together.
Then another coat of fine gravel six
inches deep would be poured on and
dragged and rolled down. During
the part of the season when the
ground was too dry to pack WELL
some kind Of pumping outfit would
be operating to pour water on the
road enough to make it pack we'll.
II no better or cheaper outfit could
be obtained, fire engine would be
used such as the town of Blackfoot
bought a few months ago, and about
thousand feet of hose would reach
to ditch to bring the water to the
road. In wet weather or so long as
the earth was damp, this part of the
expense would be omitted. There
would be fine enough and heavy
gravel to cause it to harden and
make very compact roadbed, and it
would be fine enough and heacy
enough to remain in position. The
particles would not be sharp enough
to cut peoples tires, nor slick enough
to slip out of place, for the gravel is
right in all these respects.
No Ruined Roads
Working on this plan, each crew
would crown few hundred feet of
road per day, and two shifts would
be used, working from about day.
light to dark. Only few hundred
yards of earth would be torn up at
any time, and as soon as the crews
had passed on, there would be a fin
ished macadam road behind them.
There would be no guessing as to
rain to make it good. 1t would be
good and as heavy traffic punched
sinks In it, the repair truck with a
spillway in the box, would come
along and drop a gallon or bushel

down from the water tank attached
under the box, and it would soon be
as good as before.
No Community Neglected
In order that all parts Of the
county might be getting good roads
at once, the three commissioners dis
tricts would each have an outfit |
working on this plan and the gravel
trains would supply them all. There
would be twelve high lines in the
county located as follows:
One mile below Shelley.
One a mile above Firth.
One two and half miles below
Firth.
One by the sugar factory above
BlackfoOt.
One by the canning factory west of
Blackfoot
One near Moreland Junction.
One just east of Taber.
One near Rockford.
One near Pingree.
One near Springfield. I
One near Sterling.
One at the trettle just above
