MORROW CO. OVER
T0P WITH 4TH LOAN
IL Was Hard Work For Everybody
Concerned But the Goal
Was Reached.

The Fourth Liberty Loan campaign
in Morrow county wound up on Sat
urday last with flying colors, and the
Committee takes pleasure in an
nouncing that we are over the top in
good shape, and have some thousands
Of dollars to spare.
1t has been a strenuous campaign
and took lot of hard work on the
part of all the committees engaged.
liz fact some ground had to be gone
over more than once and many citi-
zens responded BY doublig UP their
subscriptions, and those who were in
ciined to hold back for some reason
or other were persuaded tc come
across, and the committee is proud
to announce thct there are no slack
ers in the county.
When it is taken into account that
tie stupendous sum of $272,470.D0
was allotted to Morrow County to be
fai:ed, it is easy to see what a lob
confronted the workers The third
loan was for S165, 100000, and this
was put across only last spring. In
the meantime the wool clip and wheat
crop have been tied up and the two
big loans virtually came out of last
1 years business. The share for the
heppner country alone amounted to
$22S,400, and while the territory
here is quite extensive yet it was a
large sum to gather in and we are
proud to know that our people did
not fall down. The Lexington and
lone sections had their quotas raised
early and are justly proud of the
showing they made.
To the workers all over the county
the County Committee extends its
congratulations asd thanks for the
splendid work done in putting Nor
row couty over the top in the Fourth
Liberty Loan.

The War Is Not Orver--
Look Out For Poison Gas
FELLOW CITIZENS OF MORROW COUNTY:

The war is not over Look out for poison gas from
Bochedom when you meet the talk that the is over
and that little nothing is needed by The
hour for which millions have died is coming but do not
forget that America has two million OF her bravest and
best the and grave responsibility rests upon
people at home to continue safeguarding the health
and morals of our troops. After hostes have actually
ceased and just and victorious peace attained
barbarous enemies long time will necessarily intervene
before American troops can be transported home Any
faterng the part of people in suppl ying
every need and extras that back up their courage
to endure bloody nightmare there would be akin to
treachery Now while autocracy is crumbng is the time
to show that we will not evade our individual share of
the burden. The United War Work Campaign carries
may be to battle camps through the
recognized agencies those dear home influences peculi
arily American. Our soldiers can't quit We who have
joined in succoring them can't quit
If the Spanish influenza epidemic continues, meet
ings throughout county cannot be held originally
intended This fact however, will be no excuse for
Morrow County not going the top in the United War
Work Campaign to start. Every
who processes to be loyal citizen of Country owes
obligation and duty to the boys there not only
to give every cent he she is able but to aid in every
way possible in educating people to the Importance
of giving in the coming campaign.

A real estate deal of considerable
Importance was closed the past

Minor stock and alfalfa farm Just

NEWS OF BILLY WHAR.
N'SOEATH CONFIRMED

The following article clipped from
the Wednesday Morning Herald,
Yakima, Wash. confirms the sad
news some time ago reported from
France by one of his comrades in a
letter:
w. S. Wharton yesterday received
a telegram from the adjutant general
saying that Mr.. Wharton's son, Will
liam II. Wharton, was recorded as
killed in action on July 27.
On September oath Mr.. Wharton
received telegram stating that his
son, familiarly known to his home
friends as Billy, was missing in
action on July 10. The matter was
taken up with Senator w. L. Jones
in an effort to get more definite in
formation. Senator Jones wired the
officer in command of the troops to
which Private Wharton belonged,
and the result was the telegram
which Mr.. Wharton received yester-
day.
Private Wharton formerly was a
member of Company c of the Ma
tional Guard here. His regiment
was separated and brigaded else
where before the Americans went
into action at Chateau Thierry but
from information from various
sources, Mr.. and Mrs. Wharton know
that their son was among the troops
engaged in battle on that front.
The Yakima Presbyterian voices
the sentiment of all the congregation
in extending the sympathy to Mr.. and
Mrs. Wharton and daughter, Miss
Florence in the great loss of the son
and brother.
The spirit of patriotism expressed
short time before his death in a
letter home reveals the spirit of this
young man who died in the fight for
liberty and freedom not only of our
own country but of all the world.
In this letter referred to he express
s6d himself as anxious to do his best
as a citizen of the nation for which
he poured out his life upon the soil
of France I'd protect and defend her
helpless women and children from
the inhuman assaults of the un-
spcakable Hun.
We are proud to have such noble
defenders as this young man and
those who stood by him in that
heroic service in which he sacrificed
all, that righteous rule might be
maintained.
The many days of anxiety expert
enced by Mr.. and Mrs. Wharton and
Miss Florence, his sister, will now be
ended, for even though the sad news
of death has been verified, such news
will relieve the anxiety which they
have had that he might be wounded
and in the merciless hands of the u.s.
speakable Hun.-Yakima Presbyter.

or, announces the closing of a deal
the past week involving the w. C.
Lacy wheat farm of 665 acres, 8
miles north of Heppner. The pur-
chasers are E. M. Hulden and DR..
David Bruere of Portland who
bought the Dan Hanshew farm on
Blackhorse short time ago. The
Lacy land brought S42.50 per acre
and is an evidence of how realty
values are beginning to advance in
this county. The Lacy place, how
ever, is one of the best wheat pro-
ducers of the Blatkhorse section and
few good crops will repay the
purchase price with interest.
