When Is War Play Not War Play? Suits the Occasion. Thu

eminent the money indispensably
needed for the war and to release
supple sand labor required for the
production of things necessary for
our own military forces and for the
military forces of the nations asso-
ciated with u.s."
Samuel Gompers, head of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, says Our
ing the time when we send our young
men to the trenches to live a life that
grills flesh and nerve, let every man,
woman and child who is privileged
to remain in free America in physical
safety count 1t freeman's duty to
eat simple food and conserve for our
Army and our allies, to wear simple
sclothes, to avoid unnecessary or un-
wise expenditures, that we may gle
to our fighting men and the Govern.
ment and have resources for the con-
structive work of the country"
Frank A. Vanderbilt, chairman of
the National Waf Savings Committee
and president of the National City
Bank, of New York, says: Every
body should buy less, consume less,
save more money and loan their saw
ings to the Government. The result
will be more coney for the Govern
ment to run the war, increased ac-
emulation of savingsc by the people
at good interest and absolute security,
and less drain on the country's pro-
ductive and Industrial resources"
Arthur T. Hadley, president of Yale
University, says: "Those of us who
are left at home must increase our
production and lessen our consump-
tion in order to have men and sup
plies available for fighting. We must
reduce our consumption to war
basis. We must abstain from unne-
cessary expenditures in the way of
comforts and services"
Julius Rosenwald, president of
Sears, Roebucke & Co., and now
member of the Advisory Commission
of the Council of National Defense.
says Saving by everyone is as. i'm
perative for the winning of this war
as is the modifying of armies: more
than that, the mobilizing of armies is
entirely futile>.if this military step is
not accompanied by the rigorous,
common sense saving of the Nation,
for without saving the marshaled
hosts can not be equipped, can not be
fed, can not be carried overseas, and
can not be put into the fight. We
can finance the enormous cost of this
war by spending only for the things
we need, not by spending for the
things we desire. Just so long as we
continue to spend for things we do
not need, just that long do we pro-
long the war and add to the tremen-
dous sacrifice of life and property"
Here is the testimony of the Presi-
dent of the United States, of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, of the coun-
try's most prominent labor man, of a
banker, of the president of one of the
foremost educational institutions, and
of merchant. And the burden of
their testimony is that it is the duty
of everyone to save to the utmost that
there may be more money, labor, and
/ materials for tho Government with
which to fight the war. 1t is unusual
to find such agreement from so many
different quarters.
Is more testimony needed?

The council is made up of represent
tative each from the Department of
Agriculture the War Department, the
RAILROAD Administration, the Fuel
Administration and the War Indus
tries Boards. 1t will form a unified
agency for dealing, on behalf of the
Federal Government, with highway
construction, maintenance and poll
ciess. 1t will, of course, through the
Office of Public Roads and Rural En-
cheering of the Department, con-
tinue the close contact already estab-
lished, both formally by law and in
formally by practice, with the State
highway commission in each State.
The officer of Public Roads and Ru-
rail Engineering and the Highways
Council will actively consider the sup
ply, for highway purposes, or road
oils. asphalts and other bituminous
road materials controlled by the Fuel
Administration, and the matter of
priority production for highway ma
terials controlled by the War Indus
tries Board. They will also, in con-
tact with the Railroad Administra-
ton, aid in securing, so far as prac-
ticable, facilities for the transporta-
ton of road materials and supplies.

Roads and Rural Engineering will act
as the medium for furnishing infor-
nation and assistance on highway
problems, especially to State High
way authorities in meeting the var
ious difficulties which they encounter.
Work Planned Before War
When the United States entered the
war the work of planning State high
way systems, so that, as far as ne
cessary and feasible, they would con-
meet with the systems of other States,
was well under way. This resulted
from efforts to administer the Fed
eral Aid Aoad Act, so that the roads
of vital Importance for economic.
military and other purposes should
first be death with, The Federal Aid
Board Act-involving an aggregate
fiye-year expenditure, directly and
from State and local funds, of $780,
100000 in addition to at least $780,
100000 spent independently each year
by the States provides that the
States must maitain the roads and
that before any money can be eX-
pended the roads must be selected
and approved and plans, specihca-
tions and contracts submitted. 1t al
so provides that the Federal Govern
ment must inspect the construction of
the roads.
War Road Policy Adopted
Soon after the United States enter
ed the war, the Department of Rgri-
culture requested the State Highway
Commissions TO join it in directing
expenditures only on roads of prime
Importance for economic and military
PURPOSES. In this undertaking, the
Secretary says, the department has
received the cooperation of State au-
thorities.
The department has been actively
cooperating with the Capital Issues
Committee in its task of keeping out
of the market bonds the issuance of
which was not urgent from the point
of view of aiding the Nation in win
ming the war
The Secretary also calls attention
to the fact that road engiIeers have
been provided by the department for
each of the army cantonments and
for work on roads elsewhere in which
military authorities we're interested.

MRS. CHARLES HOY
PASSED AWAY DEC. 8

Bessie Hope Slaughter was born
in Pendleton, Oregon, April 3,
1889. She moved with her parents
to Ritter, Oregon, the same year.
Her childhood days were spent at
Ritter. After completing the eighth
grade in the Meacham, Oregon,
school. she attended the Weston
State Normal three years, preparing
for the work Of teacher. She was
one of Grant county's most popular
and successful teachers, having
taught in the Carter, Bully Creek,
Indian Creek, Fern and Long Creek
districts.
She was united in marriage Oct.
20, 1912 to Charlie Hoy of Monu-
mant, where she has since made her
hL me.
She leaves an infant son, James
Elton, born Nov. 80, 1918, at Hepp-
ner. Bessie passed away Dec. s,
1918 at Heppner, being the first OF
the family of nine children to depart
from this life. She was prepared to
meet her God and said she was not
afraid to die but prayed that she
might live for her baby and home,
if only one week.
Her husband, son, parents, broth
ers and sisters were all at her bed
side as she slowly and peacefully
passed away.
She leaves the following besides
husband and son to mourn her loss:
Mother, father, Henry, Wesley,
Lillis, Teddy and Nellie Slaughter;
sisters Mrs. Jack Powell, Mrs. Chas.
Barber and Mrs. Earl Burnette, be-
sides a host of friends.
While we are grieving and SYM
pathizing with all in this hour OF
deep sorrow, can we help you to
realize
Bessie is not dead; she only seems
W bluIlDCls
The dust we laid away is not Gods
likeness;
Bessie is still his image nor can
never be ought but His child.
This thought will bring new glad
ness to our hearts If we will but try
to see. She knows now there Is no
grave, no changing and If we but
turn away from sorrows strife we'll
understand there can be no derang-
ing of Gods great plan, which is un-
ending life.
Bessie will sleep peacefully in the
Ritter cemetery near her old nome
as her wish was not to be taken far

INFLUENZA BAN ON
AGAIN N HEPPHEa

At the meeting of the City Council
on Monday evening it was decided to
Put down the lid again and enforce
the quarantine against the Span sh
influenza. The school has Been
closed and all places of public
gathering of the people have been
closed The Council listened te
talk from Father P. ]. O'Rourke
with regard to the closing of the
churches, in which he made a vigor-
GUS protest against the policy Of
closing the places of worship, where
upon the Council decided to rem we
the restrictions against the churches
on Saturday. They claim that their
intention heretofore was not to
close the churches, but that this re-
strlction was enforced by DR.. N. E.
Winnard, city physician. The work
of the high school and 9Th, 7th and
Sth grades is being carried on in the
homes, the pupils getting their
proper assignments from the various
teachers and turning in written
work. This work is carried on
under strict rules and all precautions
are being observed to prevent the
spread Of the disease among the
pupils.
The influenza has taken on re-
newed vigor in the city and through
out different portions of the county,
and in order to check the disease and
bring it under control DR.. Winnard,
who is county health officer, as we'll
as city health officer, has issued
orders closing up all public gather
ings and places where crowds are
likely to congregate, his order ap-
plying to churches as we'll as schools,
throughout the county. He feels
that this step is fully justified be-
cause Of the gravity of the situation,

w. The Depth of ChrIst's Love.

The love of Christ reaches down to
man. Yes, to the very lowest. 1t
is truly said that Jesus hates sin but
loves the sinner Not more, not SO
much as he loves the righteous. But
he loves sinners enough to die for
them that they might be saved To
be able to distinguish between the
evil deeds and the one who has COM
mitted them seems to be character
istic of the divine mature. 1t is
very difficult for most of us to do
that. We throw mud on the drunkard
in the gutter. We don't like to
minister to the vile, profane, and
filthy. The Pharisees complained
that Jesus kept company with sim
ners. He came to seek and to save
the lost. He is the great Physician
who can heal the moral and spiritual
diseases of men. None are too
wicked for him to heal, none are too
low for Him to touch and raise up
to better life. The knowledge OF
this divine love imparts hope to the
hopeless, and strength to the weak
The friendless thereby find a friend
The lost find guide. The outcast
finds entrance into the family Of
heaven. Those dwelling in darkness
behold a great light. The life with
out any purpose, or any aim higher
than self satisfaction enters thru
faith into a new life. Love is gener-
ated in response to His love and be-
comes the impulse and energy Of
life TO be expended in the service Of
others. In this way does the life of
the believer who tries to comprehend
the love of Christ become filled with
the fulness of the Divine life.
