Attention has been called to the
fact that the Income Tax law re-
quires all persons working for wages
to file return, even though a part
of their compensation is in the shape
os beard. Those who have been
drawing down wages around 800
per month and board additional,
should see about making their re-
turn. They may be called on later

give an accounting,

Ralph Justus reached home Tues
day evening, coming direct from
Louisville, Ky, where he received
his discharge. 1t has not been long
since Ralph was at the front in
France, and with his company of
heavy artillery was held just be-
hind the lines in readiness to help
the boys 90 over the top in the big
drive, when the armistice was
signed. Like many others, it was a

This paper certainly enjoyed the
privilege of a visit from Jas. S.
Stewart this week. Mr., Stewart was
for thirty years editor of the Fossil
Journal. We had met him but time
or two during this time, as Heppner
was somewhat out of his circle and
he never came this way, and our per-
sonal acquaintance with the jolly
Scott was gained mainly through the
medium Of his paper. But Jim has
made a place for himself with the
Heppner people and he has a strong
invitation to return and help US put
over cur road bonding program. Mr..
Stewart now lives at Corvallis where
he has children attending the 0. A, 9.
hut he has a desire to get back into
the newspaper game and he will no
doubt do SO before very long.

ANOTHERIYEAR.

With this issue of the Pioneer we
close the seventh year of the papers
existance. 1t doesn't hardly seem
that long, but it is fact that we have
labored here among you for nearly
seven years, (th+ present Editor TAX
ing charge of the paper about nine
months after it was established.
During the past years we have en-
deavored to give our readers the very
best paper possible under the circum
stances, and people tell US, now and
then, that the Pioneer is one of the
best small town newspapers that they
know Of, so in measure, we must be
satisfying our patrons, but the Pio-
neer has not yet reached our ideal OF
a country newspaper, and we hope in
the future to make the Pioneer a
much better and more influential pa
per. We would like to add at least
500 new readers to our list during the
coming year, and this can be done If
our present readers will but speak a
good work for the paper now and
then and ask non subscriber to have
his name added to our list. We
would like to add linotype to our
equipment 50 that we would be en-
abled to give you still more home
news, but linotype costs something
like S2500 or $4,000, and we happen
to be short just about that much cash,
but We have hopes of adding this
equipment sometime in the future,
and If We can add 500 new resders to
our list during the next year, we
could probably manage some way TO
get that linotype and give you still
better Pioneer.
We want to take this opportunity to
thank our neighborhood correspond
ents who have contributed so m lch
towards making the Pioneer a real
newspaper, aud we hope they will con
tinue their good work in the future.
Next week we begin the publication
of volume eight of the Pioneer, and
we shall strive to make the paper bet
ter and brighter AS our means and
ability will permit. We look for some
great developments in this section
within the next couple of years and
We want the paper to be representa-
tive of the town and country. Yor
boost for the Pioneer and the Pioneel
will boost for you.

LETTERS FROM OUR SOLDIER
BOYS

-
Dear Folks
My first letter this year A few
days ago ! got letter from Helen;
dated November eth. This is the
latest news | have hal from home
and / am glad all Is we'll. am, as
uusal, very well and in the best Of
health. This wet weather seems good
for me.
| am already sure that it will not
be hard fol me TO r;-adjust myself to
civil life, at least not to the more con
venient parrs of it, for you see we are
n wquartered In ,nany different hous-
es and I'm SO far from The bugler
that | cannot hear first call, SO l have
an alarm clock, and when l hear 1t in
the morning and the bed fees SO
good, feel just as used to In South
Dakota, over year ago.
We have drill every DAY, which is
necessary to keep us In good health
and up to STANDARD, but life now Is
paradise com pared with actual war,
yet we long, and long for home as We
never did during the war.
We seldom get newspaper, 50 we
are more or less cut of from outside
news. / am hopeing, however, that
all Is going we'll and that affair will
soon be so that we can return to the
States. | am particularly anxious to
get back for spring work. / was glad
to hear that you had threshed and
had the corn out.
In my other letters l have already
told YOU about the pretty country we
are in. This place is really suberb
of Trier one of Germany's great rail-
road centers, and city Of antiquity,
part of it having been built by the
Romans before the time of Christ l
saw number of these old buildings
and they are in an excellent condition
even today. The Romans were truly
wonderful builders. 1t seems odd
that we should be tramping over the
same roads that perhaps Ceasar hiked
over many hundred years ago.
In fact all this part Of Europe is
noted for the history 1t has turned
out. We are only a short distance
from Worms, which place is so much
connected with Luther, and the re-
formation, And Metz Is not far off,
it too, is connected not only with
European, but our own history. 1t
being at court at this place where
Lafayette decided to help the Ameri.
cans, back In ITO. We will never
know what al this country witnessed
Thus far we haven't had any real
cold weather, only rain, rain. The
grass Is as green as it Is in June, at
home. in spite Of the frost. The na-
tives, however, tell us, we can expect
lots of snow and cold weather after
Christmas. The wind never blows
hard. 1t will seem tough when get
back and have to face those cold north
west winds.
The girls here, seem to think the
Americans are all right, and no doubt
would lie to "cop" some Of them,
and what's more, some are succeeding
too.
Send pictures whenever you can;
they are great. l haven't received
my Christmas package vet, but am
looking for it most any day, Oh yes,
l send phamphlet, with pictures OF
this part of Germany. These pictures
are very good and give a very good
idea Of what not only this country
looks like, but what all Europe looks
like
think we will be home by March
lst, however have no official dope
on this. Its just my opinion.
With love,
