IF THE PRESIDENT WOULD ON.
LY "BE NATURAL"

Dignity takes so much of the
juice out of life," complains Tracy
H. Lewis, in the New York Morning
Telegraph. How vastly more re.
freshing it would be if the President
could treat the Senators like home
folk, as he calls US Americans, and
unfold to them his real thoughts and
views which better judgment sup
presses" For instance, when he
went before those august members
of the Upper House to speak few
words on the Peace Treaty and the
League Of Nations, he might have
looked them over with frank con-
tempt" and given them a fatherly,
perfectly sincere, and reasonable

The Heppner populace was aroused
from the early morning beauty sleep
last Monday by loud and continued
screeches from the fire siren. The
fire company responded promptly
and 1t was then found that the fire
had been extinguished almost before
the alarm was turned in. The fire
was on the roof Of one of the Hepp-
rer Light & Water Company's build
ings and only slight damage is report
ed. And the fire siren, it would have
been blowing yet had it not been that
some one cut the wires.

THRIFT

Since every man has taken oppor-
tuniY to place the blame for the
present prices of every commodity
in common use, there have been few
to come forward with any share Of
blame for the individual. The lions
share, of course, rests with the man.
ufacturers, distributors and produc-
erS, but the individual, also, is part
ly to blame.
The lesson taught Americans in
the recent war, that of thrift, had
temporary life. During the emergen-
cy period everyone, from the mighty
to the meek, saved and spard. Thrift
was practiced as diligently as in the
cockney quarter of London. The
old eagle on the dollar truly did
scream in many American homes
where he was pinched to the limit
With the end of the war, all that
surplus extravaganza stored up in
the average American seemed to be
turned loose. Americans bought
freely of everything they had been
accustomed to before the war and
more for good measure. Hash was
served less frequently on the Ameri-
can table and stocks of food and
clothing were taxed heavily by de-
mands of the public.
Overnight the public forgot the
lesson Of thrift and their reaction on
the stocks of available goods natur-
ally forced prices upward. With
money to spend and a keen demand
for goods, they soon saw that deal
ers were quick to follow up the ad-
vantage and demand prices which
have now become beyond reason.
Were the people to remember what
hey were taught by their government
regarding saving and thrift, they
could alleviate from their side some
of the troubles which now engulf the
entire populace. Pendleton East

COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
AUSTRALIA AND TASMANIA
GREATEST WOOL PRO.
DUCERS.

Australia and Tasmania are the
greatest wool producing countries IN
the world, with an annual production
of 463,750,000 pounds. Russia is
second with S20,000,000 pounds, the
United States third with 26S,000, 900
pounds, and Argentina fourth with
265,000,000. OF this entire and i'm
mense production as it is, there are
only four countries which produce
more wool than is required for home
uses. Hence these four countries at
once become the worlds greatest ex-
porters. They are Australia, New
Zealand, South Africa and South
America. lnasmuch as this country
does not produce enough wool for
her own needs by 350,0O0,O00 lbs,
the countries before mentioned are
the ones to which this country must
look for the difference until such a
time as increased production at home
is able to strike balance.
Contrary to the belief of many,
just as good wool for the manufac-
ture Of woolen goods is raised right
here in Morrow county as is raised
in Australia and South American
countries" said c. A. Shepard, vet
eran wool buyer and wool grader who
was in charge Of the Columbia Basin
Wool Warehouse exhibit at the re-
cent county fair. I'VE would like to
teach the woolgrowers the value OF
grading their clips. One clip @.
wool may contain as high as 27 diff
ferent grades, and from the manu-
facturers' standpoint every grade
commands a different price. But
when the wool man sells his ungrad-
ed clip, he receives but one price and
that is the lowest which the worst
part of the wool would bring" Mr..
Shepard is Of the opinion that the
woolgrower should just as we'll get
what the wool is worth as some other
fellow who receives the benefit Of
graded prices.
The wool exhibit of the Columbia
Basin Wool Warehouse, Of which +.
J. Mahoney is manager, was a most
interesting and instructive one for
the sheepmen more especially, but
all Morrow county people found
something of interest in the display
of the various grades of wool. Mr..
Shepard gave talks to the wool mer
each day. The exhibit has been left
in Heppner permanently and will be
in charge OF W. P. Mahoney, cashier
Of the First National Bank.
