MCMurray Had Lively Time
Feeding Sheep in Snow Time

Laxton McMurray Willow creek
farmer just below Jordan Siding, had
lively time the last few weeks,
what with feeding some 1900 head
of sheep and keeping everything high
and dry when the snow storm mov-
ed away and the water came on.
Although Mr.. McMurray says he
had not planned to feed so many
sheep, his farm seemed to be the log
ical stopping over place for bands
IN transit, and he was not the man
to refuse feed to sheepmen, espec-
tally in such a crisis.
While there was considerable wa
ter in that section of bottom land
at the junction of Rhea and Willow
creeks. Mr.. McMurray says that very
little damage resulted. Mr.. Nc
Murray was a business visitor in
Heppner on Wednesday.

FORD PLANT PAYS HUGE
BONUS TO EMPLOYEES

DETROIT, MICH. Dec. 31,---Henry
Ford and his son, Edsel Ford, an
nounced today the distribution OF /
sS,000,000 bonus among the so 00l
employees of all branches of the Ford
interests and the Inauguration of an
investment plan whereby every
worker, from the man who wields a
broom to the chief executives, may
participate in the profits of the busi-
ness.
Bonuses, which will be paid in
cash today, come in addition to the
profit-sharing plan which was in
augurated several years ago and
which will be continued. 1t is the
intention of the Ford organization to
make the distribution of these bon
uses an annual event if the earnings
or the company permit.
In cash and in the number of
men concerned, and without counting
the moral effect on industry as a
whole, this act of economic justice
surpasses anything in the history of
labor.
The lowest award paid goes to
nen who are receiving the minimum
pay of Sc a day and who have
been in the employ of the various
companies three months. 1t amounts
to $50, The highest award goes to
the skilled workers who have been
with the company five years and
who are receiving S10.S0 a day. The
bonus received by the latter amounts
to S270.
Employees who receive a salary will
also receive HOnuses. Ability and
length of service will be the standard
on which the awards will be based.
In announcing the plan which per-
mits employe to invest up to one
third of their pay in the organiza-
tion and share in the prosperity of
the company, the allied interests Of
Henry Ford are carrying out the
ideal of Mr.. Ford that labor has 4
right to participation in the benefits
of the prosperity which it helps to
create and, in the words OF Henry
Ford himself, should have a share
as we'll as job"
When the complete ownership of
the Ford Motor Company was ac-
Quired by Henry Ford and his son
last summer steps were Immediately
taken to work out the details of the
bonus and investment plans an
nounced today 1t always has been
the Ford policy to discourage big
dividends to non-producing stock
holders, and to use profits in reward
ing labor and in expanding industry
This policy, as Henry Ford regards
it means not only good pay and a
share in the profits for the workers,
but the employment of more and
more people as the business grows.
Henry Ford holds, and has re
peatedly stated it as his belief, that
no man should be permitted to own
stock in an industry unless he plays
productive part in the operation
OF that industry and the imitation
of the investment plan is a practical

he desired. Sometime later, how
ever, came the announcement of s6
a day minimum scale of pay and
then the purchase OF the holdings Of
minority stockholders by Henry and
Edsel Ford.
No sooner was the organization
in their complete possession than
they began to arrange for an ad'
