BOYS AND GIRLS HAVE
PART N FOOD SUPPLY

Heppner Oregon, Jan. 9, 1918.
To the Boys and Girls of Morrow
County:
Greetings for Happy New Year.
Dear Boys and Girls:
You, of course, realize that this
country is at war, that our boys are
already on the battlefelds of Europe.
We know not when the report will
reach us that our own boys are clash
ed in battle.
Hundreds of tons of provisions
must cross the ocean and brave the
dangers Of the submarine, for the
welfare not only of our own boys at
the front, but also to replenish the
almost empty bread-basket of the
world. We must win this war and to
do so our allies must be fed and
equipped. This Is Uncle Sans task
A mans job. Are you willing to
help? Will you join the army of boys
and girls, who though not dressed in
khaki, must be kept up to the highest
point of efficiency in service and in
telligent devotion to life.
This army back Of the lines must
be in good fighting form, If the boys
In the lines are able to form a fight
that will be successful.
The Industrial Club this year has
been put on war basis and should
have the right Of way. Show your pa
triotism with a hoe-"Seed more and
We will feed more" have received
seed from the Government and you
may have 1t for the asking. Will the
boys and girls clubs show bigger in
crease this year than ever before.
This is my hope.
Our fair this fall should speak
more loudly than dull words on thin
paper. Mr.. E. J. Klemme of the State
Normal School at Bellingham, Wash,
says, Every man, woman and child
should be able to say, Say, Woodrow,
dear, did you hear the noise that's
just gone round. We came along one
hundred strong and plowed up all the
ground. We dropped in both the
spuds and beans and planted wheat
for all. We modified the turnips,
too, and answered your CALL
The mothers can assist the gov
ernment and the state In this great
movement by encouraging the boys
and girls in the home toward some
productive enterprise.
1t has been estimated that a boy
costs on an average $50 per year as
an actual cash outlay. If the boy can
earn part or all Of this by keeping a
pen of chickens, or taking care of a
pig, or calf that otherwise would have
perished, he is doing something tow
ard conservation of food. If the girl

more. would like to keep trat job
for you can help yourself to most any
thing in the kitchen.
Our new years dinner consisted of
potato salad, fried chicken, cranber-
, ry sauce, dressing, soup with crack
ers, mince pie, bread and butter and
piece of common stir cake with a
little ice cream to wash it down.
We moved our company grounds
again Monday. Its great deal bet
ter than the one We had. We are
right against the assembly grounds
and back to our tents. Besides the
tents we now have electric lights and
we can see to read or write in the eve
ming.
There are two fellows in the same
tent with me. They are both real
nice fellows, one of them being from
Denver, Col, by the name of Tweed
and the other, Tyson, from Portland.
The rest of the Heppner boys are
strung up and down the street ac-
cording to alphabetical order.
We don't hear a great deal around
here about the war, but have heard

We have plenty to eat as it is but

IT'S INVESTMENT

Liberty Loan" It is somewhat of a nisno-
mer unless there is such a thing as person max
ing loans to himself The people who buy bonds
simply loan to their government themselves
Who pays the principal and interest? The people.
Indeed, if each person could and would take
the same amount Of bonds, it would be silly to issue
bonds bearing interest," 1t would be like charging
folks something for using, for themselves, what is
their own
Up to JAM 81 last, our people had incurred a
debt of $3.50, 100000, since entering the war.
Four per cent of this, say, would be 1852 millions,
or what the bond hlvers have actually loaned (and
will receive, finally) because many of the folks
cannot buy bonds. The S6,55O,OOO 900 is simply
money switched from one pocket into the other, or
employing ones money in an enterprise. for ones
own benefit In effect, your bond is rather an in
vestment than loan. And an investment that
isn't protected against the woodworking Germans
is in bad shape.

THE SO.CALLED SOCIALISTS

The SO'CALLED oOClALlO1o
With TrOtzky organizing volunteer
army to oppose German aggression and
making no concealment of his realization
that Russia is the PROSTATE victim of
German peace, with Red Guards fighting a
German supported bourgeoisie in Finland,
and with the great Swedish socialist leader
declaiming, in the teeth of German threats,
that he hopes, ''for the sake of liberty's
cause" the German advance will be drawn
back, what becomes of the pretenses of the
pro- German socialist party in this country?
They claim to be Bolshevik, but the &C.
ton of Trotzkv and his associates exposes
that. They claim to be socialist, but what.
then, is Branting? They are, as revealed
fact. nothing but allies of the German war
machine, enemies of the country of their
pretended adoption, enemies of Bolshevik
Russia or any other Russia, enemies of the
cause of liberty.
They are German party, spreading
sedition in this country, dishonOring the
term of German-American to the perma-
nent injury of class for generations hon.
ored in America, discrediting the name of
socialism, traitors all around, except to
military Prussia.
What party! Yet it elected mayor in
Milwaukee, and polled nearly hundred
thousand of votes in Wisconsin and thou
sands of votes in the Chicago aldermanic
election That means that there are in this
country too many pretended citizens whose
oath of allegiance is worthless and who have
no right to the powers and privileges of
citizenship.-Chicago Tribune.

iMinot, N. D. April 13.-Guy S.

property custodian. All legal matters
requiring attention in North Dakota
will be referred directly to Mr. Wool

The chief functions of the custodian
are to acquire possession of money

tie same, or the proceeds, subject to
future disposition by congress
Enemies" as defined by the act, are
in the, main subjects of enemy ma
lions resident within enemy territory
Practically the only resident enemies
are the few interned subjects of en-
envy nationl-made by executive proc
lamation. It developed that enemies
have ever conceivable kind of prop
erty right and interest in this coun
try. Much the larger part of enemy
interests so far reported which involv
ed, or may involve, legal difficulty, are
interests in estates in process of ad
ministration and such interests ap
pear to exist throughout the country
1t is necessary in such matters, and OF
course in any other matters, requiring
local attention, to have local legal
representative charged with the duty
of representing the custodian. Such
represe tative will not, however, be
concerned with the administration OF
control of enemy funds or other prop
erty, since under the act this is &C
complished either directly by the Gus
todian or by his duly authorized de
positaries throughout the country.
The bureau of law will communicate
with the legal representative in each
state concerning all matters requiring
local. attention, and will depend upon
him to perform or to arrange for the
performance under his supervision, OF
all necessary, local services. -
The services performed will be pa

a team of horses for 100000 and gave
his note to the bank. His defense is
that when he signed the note it read:
with interest payable annually at
the rate of twelve per cent per annum
to maturity and twelve per cent after
maturity till paid" And that after
he signed the note it was changed by
writing the figure 10 in place of the
figure q, which had been crossed. To
this defendant testified and the bank
err testified to the contrary. Certain
it is there was no thought in the mind
of defendant himself or of any person
that he should have the use of the
horses for a second year without pay
ing interest. But now it seems he
has had the horses six years without
paying or offering to pay dollar, and
of course, that does not mark hi mas
an honest and truthful man. Truth and
honesty are virtues which 60 together.
II the maker of prOmiss0ry. note
may avoid payment by swearing that
at the time Of the making the printed
figure 10 or ~ was crossed out and
no figure inserted to indicate the rate
OF interest while the payee swears to
the contrary then nearly all persons
may safely refuse to pay their bank
notes. In blank promissory notes
there is usually printed the highest
rate of interest allowed by law and
1T the time Of signing the high rate
is commonly crossed and a lower rate
inserted. {,
In weighing evidence we must re.
member that dishonesty and falsehood
are kindred vices. When man is a
party to dishonest deal, when he
resorts to law to resist payment of an
: honest debt, he may we'll be consid-
cred dishonest and untruthful. He
does not hesitate to swear, falsely
when he can do it with safety. His
oath is no better than his word and
both are Of little weight. ..,
When for a good price person
sells a gold brick, a worthless blowing
outfit, or few sections of white
sand, it is folly for him to claim that
the victim had carefully examined his
purchase and knew just what he was
buying; and when purchaser is a
fool or simpleton the law should
protect him against knaves.
The testimony Of any number Of
witnesses may be weighed down and
discredited by it's own probability. The
Book of Mormon is vouched for by
eleven witnesses and their testimony
is not in any way contradicted. They
swear that they saw the original
book ks inches consisting of leaves
or tablets of pure gold. They saw Joe
Smith translate the book and then
saw an angel from heaven come down
and take the book up to heaveDA The
Mor1nons believe it and their SINGER
ity is vouched for by the blood, Of
their martyrs, and yet we do not be-
lieve it because ii, is too improbable,
and for that reason we should not be-
lieve it, though it were sworn TO by a
thousand honest men. Indeed, lin
such case man should not believe
his own eyes. The appearance or
! phenomenon may be the result IF de.
ception, illusion, hypnotisn. or ether

WHAT is LIBERTY?

We are hearing and reading much about
Liberty" What is it?
The dictionaries define it as freedom of action,
or the right of the individual to do as he pleases
with that which is his. 1t is clear and simple
definition, but we always miss much when we take
definitions at their face value Liberty is great
deal more than the individuals freedom of action.
Liberty is one of the mightest sentiments that
have shaped the affairs of men since the begin
ming. n.a e.,e
The psychologists have dug up for our study
long-buried civilizations, in almost every one of
the continents, and in every instance there has
been abundant evidence Of the prevalence of an
arbitrary ruling or privileged class, or set of in
dividuals, no matter how high the order of civiiza
ton disclosed There is also record in modern his
tory of times when mems wages, social status and
limit of aspirations were definitely fixed by and to
the advantage of the few. The common man must
live thus, work for this wage, believe in this or that
god or be beaten, burnt or jailed. But liberty is
born Of thought, and suffering is the great pro-
moter Of thought. Men came to see that while
liberty exercised for the masses meant progress,
exercised by the few it was no longer liberty but
tyranny, and they began to turn existing condi-
tons upside down, for liberty's sake.
But such mighty force is liberty that even it
must have it's limits. Like fire, it is good SER
vcnt hit bod n,octer, Liberty is something more
than the right Of the Individual to do as he pleases
The individuals acts and even his possessions
must be limited by what is for the common good.
What is true Of Individual persons is true of
individual nations. Europe was guilty in permit
tins Germany to build up power through which
to impose her individual liberty upon the world
without limitation by the common good of the ma
tons America and the allies are now combating
Germany's personal liberty" to get drunk on mill
tarism and interfere with the common peace de-
cency and progress, as drunkards always do.
Liberty is among the greatest of blessings. It
is one of the mightiest Of sentiments that have
raised man above the beasts. 1t is to be worked
for, fought for, died for if needs be- always. But,
it must needs have it's limitations, like all other
sentiments that affect man save faith in God.
