That the people in general want
the speed limit changed is shown by
the returns from the straw ballots.
But not all are agreed on the speed
they want. For instance. one man, J
G. MeWherten, 1854 West Reno, is
thoroughly convinced that no one
ought to drive faster than three miles
an hour in the residence district and
two miles an hour in the business sec.

said.

TOTAL WAR COST IS
NEAR 200 BILLION

London, Aug lS,--Lloyd George
in a speech in the house of commons,
declared the war cost was 5000, 0,000,-
100000. Britains war debt has in
creased s3,205,0e0.O0o to s39,00O,-
100000. He s'S the war expendi-
ture was devoted largely to purposes
of destruction and that the only way
to meet the increased burden OF the
war debt is to increase production.
He asserted the most outstanding
fact of Britain's present situation is
an alarming adverse trade balance.
He said Britain's coal output is ST.
100000 less than before the war,
UNLESS we are able to pay the way,
stern events will drive reduction in
our standard Of living, he stated.
The introduction Of bill providing
for a living wage and a fS-hour
week was announced by the premier.
He said the problem of production
can't be solved until labor examines
its grievances. He declared the new
spirit of increased wages and shorter
hours can not be maintained until
production is increased.

WOMAN KILLED WHEN
TRAIN HITS AUTO
Mrs. VI. H. Gillette Dies From InJur-
les and Husband In Critical Con-
dition Result OF Auto Wreck
on Heppner Branch Last
Sunday.

Mrs. NJ. H. Gillette, wife of Mel
Gillette, is dead and Mr.. Gillette is in
critical condition at the Heppner
Sanatorium as a result Of an auto
accident on the Heppner branch last
Sunday when the local train, No. 25.

below lone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gillette were on their

iured couple we're rushed to lone,

hospital where he remained in an
unconscious condition for several
hours, but his chances for recovery
are now considered bright by his ply
sicians. Besides severe bruises, he
received three broken ribs. 1t Is

injuries.

ped to Portland, where a daughter
Mrs. Joe H. Jordan, wife OF we'll
known newspaper man, resides. The
funeral was held In that city Wednes-
day from the Chambers chapel and

Lexington People Get Thrill
When Car Upsets With Them

A party Of Lexington people receiv-
ed more than the ordinary thrill that
accompanies auto accidents, when tn
w. P. Mcmillan car turned turtle in
Sand Hollow last Sunday evening.
Mr. Mcmillan and wife and Mrs. Nc
Millan's mother, Mrs. Wilmot, ae-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. Ben
J. Brown, had been to Irrigon and
were on their way home when the
accident happened. The road at
this particular place had become un-
dermined and the weight Of the car
caved it in. The car turned complete
ly over and probably only the top of
the car saved the autoists from SER
ious injury. AS it happened not
single member of the party was hurt
in any way. Mr.. Mcmillan, who was
at the wheel, was driving slowly
when the car turned over.

AMERICAN LEGION
POST FOR HEPPNER.
State oganizer, f. j. Eivers. viii Ar
rive In Heppner Next Monday
Night at Which Time Meeting
of Ex Service Men VIII be
Held and Charter
Asked.

Heppner will have post of the
American Legion. o. G. Walker Of
Portland. advance organizer. arrived
in Heppner last night and made ar
rangements for meeting which will
be held in the city council chambers
in the Roberts building on Monday
evening, August 25.
L. j. Eiyers, state chairman and
organizer, will be in this city that
evening and will give full informa-
tion regarding the American Legion
and the work ii is doing in all parts
OF the country.
1t is very important that all ex-
service men Of the late world war be
present.
The idea Of forming a local post
of the American Legion has been
growing for some time. In nearly all
towns where chapters have been
formed, the post has been named for
some soldier, sailor or marine who
gave his life for his country, or DIS
tinguished himself by exceptional
valor on the field of battle.
1t is now generally realized that
the American Legion is to the world
war what the G. A. II. has been to
the Civil War. And like the G. A. r.,
1t will be non-political, policies
not politics" being its slogan, and it
is bound together by the ties of COM
radeship formed in common service.
Every former service man in Morrow
county is urged to attend the meet
ing in Heppner next Monday eve
ming.
