The British peers are attacking the
practice of buying and selling titles.
They ought to adopt the simple prac-

who wants a title can assume one to
his liking without paying cent to

OLD HIGH COST OF LIVING JUMPS
But That Makes No Difference to the Million
aire With a Hobby

Old High Cost of living has so
jumped during the past twelve
months that mere existence has be-
come sort of luxury.
Your groceryman tells you he
simply has to charge the price
asked; the clothier informs you that
the same suits he sold for $40, are
now $40 and $50 each, and a bar
gain at that; yonr milkman strikes
you off the list in a hurry if you
dare demur TO S3,75 per quart q
month; your wife's winter coat will
be close to the $50 mark, and her
shoes will be bargain at $14.50. AS
to your winters wood pile-the least
said the better
Such are the fruits of war, and
such are the burdens to be borne by
the great army of the secondary
defense.
It's a great life-if you dom t
weaken.
But what would your groceryman
say if you asked him to knock off
his profits in these troublesome
times? What would happen if you
informed your shoeman, your milk
man, your dry goods man, and the
rest of the bunch, that they would
have to let you have the goods at a
reduced price? Would these gentle
men politely accede to your request?
They would not. Bankruptcy would
follow if they did.
You couldn't expect it-you would
not ask it! These are not the good
old days of old Costs have gone up
on everything, and quite naturally
too.

of affairs 1t is a rather astoundiua

When l think of her I have not the

Her wounds had ceased to pain her,

She was lying, when l saw her, with
her head propped upon pillow that

there was a pitlful wrath of smile

The prisoners in the state peniten.
tiary of Washington run, among othel
things, game bird farm. Until lately
they have raised wild turkeys for the
Thanksgiving dinner for the convicts.
The fact that wild turkeys have been
killed in such numbers in the forests Of
the western part of the state that they
have almost disappeared has caused
the state game warden to decide to
take up the business of raising them
on larger scale and f1ocks will here
after be liberated each summer to
populate the woods.
The wild turkeys are larger and
harder than the domestic breeds, and
the warden, whose name is L. r. Dar-
win, is experimenting with cross
breeds. He hopes to develop a bird
that will be useful to poultrymen and
yet be able to sustain itself in the
woods.
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1918-10-10

licious measure. He and some Port
land attorney have decided that the
legal advertising rate, which pro-
vldes that publishers shall not be
paid a greater sum than five cents
per line, is altogether too high to
suit his imperial taste He there
fore has prepared an initiative petit
tion and wants the voters of Oregon
to lower the rate, in accordance with
his wishes.
This is Millionaire Jackson's way
of getting even" with the press of
| Oregon. He has been unable to
dictate to the thinking editors of the
state who have steadily refused to be
whipped into line to support Jack
sons single tax and other campaigns
waged by the Journal. He has
chosen the psychological time to
carry out his nefarious plan-a time
when probably ninety per cent of the
papers of the state are struggling
keep the wolf from the door, that
they may carry on in their i'm
portant mission of helping Uncle
Sans war activities. 1t is a scheme
quite worthy of Jackson and really
clever way to cut the throats of the
country editors. Bring his advertis-
ing rates down below cost and you
can run him out of the field! Isn't
it a commendable work for a mil
lionaire publisher to be engaged in?
Unfortunately for Jackson the
voters are onto his little game. They
believe in their own communities,
they believe in their home papers,
and they are generous enough to
admit that the newspaper men OF
the state have a God-given right to
live in Oregon, in spite of Editor
Jackson's personal wishes in the
matter.

BELLS TO RING

s the State Council of Defense has been
asked by the Council of National De.
fense at Washington to go the limit
in calling the attention of the public
to the Importance of registering fol
the selective draft on Thursday, Sep.

so that all flags fly to call attention
to the big event. 1t is desired that
every effort be made to bring about
registration Of all men in Imperial
county between the gaeS of l Sand IS,
so that none may be marked missing
the day after registrations The news
papers have carried lists of registra
ton places, which will be open from 2

the ages specified who were not re-
quired to register last year under the
original draft call will lbe expected to
register on this occasion.
The Four Minute Men have been
called upon by the Council of National
Defense to address motion picture au-
diences and explain the necessity for
draft registration. The loca! council
has requested representatives of for
eign elements to arrange meetings of
their people and explain the impor-
tance of registration.
In an official order Provost Marshal
General Crowder says to the state,
county and local Councils of Defense:

and every band playing on registra-
tion day. | want to see every man in
