Frank W. Agan
HIS CANDIDACY

Frank w. Agan of Ludlow became candidate for
at the suggestion of members of this We
felt that the time ripe for organized protest against
the attempt OF organized mnortes TO control govern
men We believed that the protest of 1876 Vermont towns
ought to be needed We considered him well qualified
and the people Vermont as chief executive
of the state.
No person. special interest political organization con-
trolls Frank W. Agan. His fe character public conduct and
private enterprise abundant proof Of his ability
htness II he is chosen to the people of Vermont
their governor he will give them the same careful able and
conscientious service that he has always given his commun
ity and associates.
His opponents claim that the issue" is settled for
Ill time We claim that nothing is settled until il is
settled right The recent decision of the Supreme Court of
the United States instead of settling the question has
made the enforcement of the 18th amendment an issue in
state, congressional district every county and
very town in this and every other state
The bone-dry Vosead act and the dry amendment
go together but the Supreme Court that Congress must
declare what Intoxicating liquor" really is Congress now
that onehaf of per alcohol content is ntox
eating but everybody knows differently. Congressman will
be elected this fall half one percent one
per cent two cent five per and perhaps per cent
platforms
This is just certain the fact that the people OF
Vermon-not the politicians the Anti-Saloon league
thoroughly Disguised with the Vostead act and the
NiNi"iiSi' 10
If Congress should pass law declaring three per cent
liquor notwithstanding, Vermont must pass law concurrng
herewith but Vermont could only waythree
per cent or less If Vermont should pass hree-andone
half per cent law il wouldn't hold, but if Vermont should
pass twoanda-ha one-and-a-ha one-half-of-one
per cent law il would hold Kind of sided law isn't IL?

Lizzie Leads the Way.

Mr.. Ford simply cannot help being
patriotic and unselfsh. In lowering
the price of his various products to a
pre-war basis he admits that he will
incur some temporary loss, But, as he
, says. THE wal is over and 1t is time
war prices were over
This sudden announcement will work
hardship in many industries which can
not do as Mr.. Ford has done. Whether
it win help or hinder in the general
lowering of the price level remains TO
be seen. One thing is certain, it won't
tend to cut down the sale of Ford cars.
And just here is a good place as any
to say that, regardless of the academic
question as to whether a Ford is an au-
tomobile or merely a mode of convey
ance, Henry Ford is one of the wonders
Of America. His annual income is larg-
er han the income of our Federal gov
eminent a few years ago. And he has
reached this prominence by making a
commodity that the people wanted He
made nc big consultations of rival
companies. He required no special leg
islation. He did not monopolize any
natural resorce. He made little Lizzie
popular and she made him rich.-Les-

NOTICE.

The county court OF Morrow County
calls attention Of the public to the fact
that at its September meeting. in com
pliance with the wishes OF a represen,
tative number of road districts within
the county, assembled in the court room
at that time and for that purpose, did
redistrict the county in order TO make
the road districts smaller and more
suitable to the residents Of the var
ious districts.
A number Of the districts are Pc
~titioning the court to call a specia,
road meeting in the district in order
that the people Of the district may talk
over the matter Of the road situation
Of the district and vote on a special
road tax for the Improvement of spec
ial places in the district that may es-
pecially require it.
The present regular district money,
WHICH is a "a mill tax. the same as II
was before the war, is insufficient to
take care of the district needs and a
small special tax appears to be the best
solution of the problem. Blanks for
the petition may be had by applying to
the county roadmaster or the county
clerk. Such petition the law requires.

nounces drop % from 20 to 25 per cent

tons possible Pianos drop 500 In all
styles Brass plumbing supplies cut
10 10 IS per cent
The foregoing are merely samples OF
price reductions being made. Compe-
duon has been restored and managers
are after the business and trying TO get
the jump on the other fellow. We have
seen conditions change from a sellers
to a buyers market" The readjust-
ment taking place Ices not indicate
hard times coming.
The Manufacturer and Industrial
News Bureau predicts that within a few
months this country will see the great
est buying movement Of raw materials
and manufactured goods hat we have
ever witnessed. Millions Of people have
been going without necessary articles
for wears waiting for more normal
prices
The effect Of the present movement
will be to freeze out the prohteering
and inefficient manufacturers and the
lazy and inefficient workmen. Produc-
ton per man power will Increase which
in itself will enable reductions in the
price of manufactured goods. We will
again be competition for jobs Just as
we will see competition TO sell goods.
This is as It should be and will do away
with the hold-up tactics we have been
subjected TO from both laboring men
and manufacturers, The price of labor
will not fall in proportion TO the decline
in commodities but labor will produce
more which will Offset the difference.
There is absolutely no occasion for a
panic. Never was there so much build
ing and construction work to be done
in this country and the rest of the
world and never before was there such
a waiting demand for various lines of
manufactured goods.
With a generally higher wage sched-
ule it is improbable that prices will
drop to the pre-war figures and in seek
ing the new level they may advance a
little above the readjustment drops
which will take place. A declining la
market will eliminate strikes which
will materially help in reducing the cost
of living.

The Oil Nation.

Due to new processes of extracting
gasoline from crude oil. the increased
recovery of gasoline in 1919 was PSI
as compared with 1873 in 1914.
From 1914 to 1919 crude oil produc-
ton increased AZ per cent, gasoline in.
creased 100 per cent and automobiles
increased $50 per cent.
The United States now controls 81
per cent of the worlds petroleum pro-
duction, but it is far from controlling
more than a small portion of the
worlds potential oil fields.
Sheldon Clark of Chicago, vice-presi-
dent Of the Sinclair Refining Company,
asserted that England soon will have a
monopoly on the oil business of the
world unless the United States govern
ment takes immediate steps to stimu-
late the development of foreign oil
fields by American capital
Already we are going to import more
and more as the American fields are
worked out II we do not get busy in
foreign fields we will be at the mercy
Of the nations controlling the oil sup
ply within ten or fifteen years.

dleton.

We have beer led to wonder, in pom
dering ii over in our mind during the
past week, why it is that when any
thing good comes along, it should be ia
ken to Pendeton. These thoughts have
been superinduced by contemplating the
fact that the annual Morrow county
teachers institute has this year been
tackled on to Umatilla county, and the
consequence is hat all the teachers OF
his county will the coming week be
compelled to make their pilgrimage to
the county seat OF Umatilla county,
there TO spend some three days in at
tendance upon the sessions of the insti-
tute-a duty, by the way, that they can
not shirk.
No doubt in making this arrangement
all matters were fully considered by
the powers that be, and all claims that
might be advanced for holding the in
stitute as an Individual affair for our
own county. at our own county seat
were fully considered and after this full
consideration and weighing Of the case
it was found that all the heavy argu-
meut was in favor Of Pendleton, and we
can vouch for the fact that Pendleton is
well pleased. because 1t is the habit Of
that hustling burg to gather in any
thing and everything that will bring
people from outside to their city. Yet
we are unable to see why this should
be taken from us, as it Is an annual
event that certainly belongs here, and
loyalty to home town and county should
be the first consideration. We will con-
fess that we are not always capable of
grasping the grave matters pertaining
to our educational system, but there.
should be no reason why fairly good
talent should and could not be secured
for an institute in Heppner, and the
teachers saved the cost of the extra ex-
pense of going to Pendleton, and our
home folks be given whatever benefits
that might accrue from holding the
meetings here and bringing the outside
folks to our city. This is only fair and
there is no good reason at all why 1t
should not be so.
We confess further that it is too late
to make any alterations in the program
at this time, but hope that this will be

OREGON NEsPER SONG.

Oh, sing me the song of the eventide,
As the sun dips into the sea,
Does he follow the path of an unseen
guide.
Unafraid and i~oyously?
Does he pin his faith in tomorrow's
dawn
To the wings Of a hidden star?
Is he sure he viii reach the sky again,
If he sinks beyond the bar?
Come sing me the song of the even
tide,
AS the sun dips into h sea;
And tell me why he is unafraid
To enter its mystery.
Oh. this is the song of the eventide,
As the sun nears the western sea:
I've ne'er a regret for the day that is
gone,
For go right jQyously.
1--WE scattered my gladness far and
wide;
I've sunshine Of sorraw MADE;
I've finished the work I was sent to do:
Then why should I be afraid?'
Then he builds him a bridge of sunset
clouds.
And crosses the glorious west
With bars of saffron. gold and rose.
Silver and amethyst
And over the bridge Of sunset gold
Opens wide with a portal Of blue,
Where the evening star and its COM
rades are,
Waiting TO enter through.
He places above each bobbing wave
A crow Of molten gold;
And he leaves a track of memories
As great as the sea can hold.
Then he ~plunges down from his sunset
bridge
With a laugh past the breakers roar;
For he knows that the eventide with US
Is dawn on another shore. !

The in%sensibilities of u funny bone
are being fouted before the public by
the funny old man of the press, Broth

because of the fact that we took ex-
ceptions to some of the mlstatements
made by him in his paper regarding the
Cummings meeting some two weeks
ago. But pardon us, Brother Pat. We
did not realize that you were only
trying to be funny. Yes, trying to be
funny at the expense Of truth and
~veracity, Oh well, we suppose a joke
is a joke and anything that appears in
the Herald should not be taken, let's
say, at least too seriously. Is that 1t,
