people Of Newark should feel very
fortunate in being able to hear and

Supervisors Conclude I'm
portant Session

The board of supervisors concluded
it's October term Monday after a session
full of business with many important
matters to decide. One of the neces.
sary but unfortunate things was the
recommending to the County Road
Commission to stop the bull ing of all
Covert law roads for one or two years,
the bonds for road work having piled
mp to an enormous sum, making the
county tax for this year oyer $500, 900.
There are several small stretches of
poor roads connecting long mileages of
improved roads that seemed a positive
necessity, but the members of the board
gracefully accepted the financial condi.
ton and agreed to wait a year or two
and fix up the bad spots to make them
passable for that length of time.
The members of the board of super
visors expressed their regret at the
resignation Of Supervisor Dewey of
Owoeso. Monday, and extended best
wishes and congratulations on his ap.
poin,ment as postmaster, and presented
him with token of their regard.

FARMERS GET FOUR CENTS A
BUSHEL ON RATE CUT

Extra returns of four cents a
bushel on grain shipped for export
was made possible to Michigan farm
ers September a when Michigan rail-
roads put into effect a tx cents per
hundred reduction on grain shipped
east for export. The reduction was
made by all railroads east of the
Mississippi to the Atlantic coast, I'M
der permission of the Interstate Com
merce Commission. Export grain
money which had formerly gone into
the pockets of the railroads will now
go to the farmers.
Based on the export business of
the Michigan Elevator Exchange,
shippers can see how this reduction
will effect them. Last year the ex-
change shipped 900 cars of wheat
and rye for export. If the exchange
ships the same number this year af-
ter the reduction has gone into eff
feet, there will be a freight saving
or extra return of about $50 on
every car of wheat and about $24 on
car of rye, or total of $4,000 if
900 cars should be shipped. A re-
duction of a =. cents per hundred on
domestic grain is said to be under
consideration.

Public Opinion Strong for
Disarmament

Pointing out that the cost of capital
battleships Is mounting yearly and the
speculations of capitalists from Amer
lea in European holdings which hs
characterized in some instances as SIN
terpational gambling" Rev. William
Heilman. Rector of Christ Episcopal
Church. in sermon Sunday morning
said the world had reached poin;
where the people must either choose
between protecting with ships and
troops these international spectators
abroad or protect humanity at home.
Mr.. Heilman's subject was The Dis.
armament Conference or Public Opin-
ion."
The speaker traced the development
of public opinion on the disarmament
question after the statement by Gen.
eral Tasker Il Bliss, that IF the Chris
tian people really want disarmament,
they can bring it about" up to the
present time He went through the
history of the attitude of Michigan
people in regard to the question, and
told of the action of Episcopalians at a
convocation in Ann Arbor last spring
voting against the statement by Gen.
eral Bliss, and the disarmament resolu.
ton introduced in congress by Senator
Borah of Idaho.
The next important step in the dis.
armament question, Rev. Heilmsn said,
was when the proposition was received
favorably by the press and public of
Great Britain.
Statesmen are going on trial at this
disarmament conference" Mr. Heilman
said, land there will be grave conse u.
quences if it fails, for thu people will
lose confidence in the plan Of giving
delegated authority to representa- 70
statesmen"
The speaker told of two purchases in
Europe to illustrate his statement re.
garding international gambling.
He said British war manufacturers
have taken over the entire wool indus
try of Poland and are producing wool
and shipping it 80 cheaply to England
that II is stagnating the wool industry
of that nation.
Then he sail group of American
capitalists have purchased the estate of
Archduke Ferdinand of Austria which
includes great iron works equal to our
steel industry here. The estates also
include great farms which provide
Vienna with food.
Those two steps in industry, he
pointed ont, will mean competition
with the United States At the same
time these spectators are asking naval
protection from the countries with
which they are competing.
Ten years ago." said Mr.. Holman,
capital battleships cost So, 900, 900;
today they cost $45. 900, 900. A ship be,
comes absolute in from seven to ten
years. In the next ten years it may be
safe to expect a capital ship to cost
500, 600, OO0"

BANKERS GIVE FARM BUREAUS
THEIR O. K.

Michigan bankers are behind the
State and county farm bureaus. Their
agricultural commission, in a report
presented the bankers at their an
nual meeting, endorsed the farm
bureaus, declaring that they were
fully organized, self-supporting and
well financed. Bankers were urged
to cooperate with the farm bureau
in serving their farmers. The en-
dorsement stated that the farm bur-
eaus are carrying out for the farmer
those activities that the bankers
themselves have sought to accom-
plish through their own agricultural
commission.

THE AWAKENED FARMER.


A calm? But listen, l behold
Some millions of peaceful farmers. bold,
Who silently but bravely signed,
A covenant by which to bind
Themselves into a mighty band,
To help their cause throughout the land,
It's long they've bowed beneath the
load,
And plodded on before the goad,
Regardless Of the darkest night,
To satisfy the parasite,
The men who raise the nations bread,
Whene'er they sought to raise their
head,
They never failed to get blow
That made their progress very slow.
In fact the blows were so severe,
That every brain it seemed to scar;
Until it seemed they all were doomed,
Eventually to be consumed,
When suddenly they got blow,
That paralyzed from head to toe,
Although the blow did paralyze,
1t knocked the wool from off their eyes.
And looking up, beheld a sight,
or naked facts in broad daylight
In fact the last and wicked jolt
Which echoed like thunderbolt
And still is rumbling in the air,
To intimidate and to scare
Has only proved boomerang,
To all the plutocratic gang.
And now they see throughout the ma
ton,
The hangmans rope, cooperation.
And in their camp you plainly see.
The scamper of the enemy.
And thus the sure approaching bout,
Has put the enemy to rout
Their legal stand, though very strong,
Must crumble fore the mighty throng
OF horny-handed. brawny scouts,
Whose solemn tread, but chilling
shouts.
Have paved the way by seeds they've
sown,
That those who toll might gain their
own.
The plutocrat, the parasite
Who always claimed that might was
right,
Has placed his ear upon the ground,
And heard the paralyzing sound
OF distant rumbling. and beheld.
A cloud OF dust, which ever Quelled
The thought of checking such a tide,
Which fast is growing nationwide.
Some few are falling on their knees,
And offer ransom to appease
The wrath of this young giant strong,
And hope by this to right the wrong
The burly captain, strong and wise,
VIII not accept a compromise.
But those heuceforth who til the soil
BY legalsFight will hold the spoil
Come forth, you timid, Join the throng,
And lend your voices to the song
No matter what your occupation
The latest song, COOPERATION.

In order that Heppner might be able
to get into the baseball games with
some chance of winning, and that our
city might also be able to get a few
of these games here, the matter was
taken up with our business men on
Monday and sufficient funds raised to
bring this about. We understand that
a number of games have already been
arranged, and that it is now expected
by the local management to get suffl-
cient datings with other towns in this
vicinity to fill the schedule for the
season Heppner will play Arlington at
that city on next Sunday and the fol-
lowing Sunday these teams will appear
on the diamond at Heppner. A game
has also been arranged with Condor,
and 1t Is expected that a return game
by lone will be played on the Heppner
grounds shortly, From the good work
done by Heppner's team at lone on Sun
day, we can confidently expect they will
be winners in at least some OF these
engagements, and good ball Is in store
for the Heppner fans,
