They are hn-ided this way. From all re ports they talk mainly about sexual diseases, something which the average man knows little about and which less is said. Disease, as the name implies, means merely dia-easc. And all disease is disgrace. The ancients thought that all disease came from God. Homer relates of the plague in the siege of Troy. It seems as if Agamemnon offered insult to a Priest of Opollo and the angry god. thirsting for r-r-revenge, let fly the poisoned arrows of his warth, smiting the mules and the swift dogs, and lastly the men themselves. "Evermore the funeral-fires blazed thick and fast. Homer being a poet failed to ascribe the plague to its real cause. Disease in its incipent stages is a remedial move on the part of Nature, continued, it is Nature's way of removing the weak, worthless and inefficient, of course the real tragedy lies in the fact that Nature has no respect for in dividuals, the welfare of the race is her solici tude. There has always been a deal of diplomacy and descreetnes.-i used in the talks about disease. But just why we should not bo Tree and frank in their discussions, wo are unable lo say. We are awakening to the need of such education and we can see where advance has oe.en made in several ways. In Wisconsin an applicant for a marriage license must pass a rigid physical examination before he can procure the license. A health certificate is the basis of. man '.age, not senti ment. Many uthor states have the same provi sion, which will soon be required everywhere. In schools the subject of disease is taught by men and women who have been carefully prepared to present this branch of learning. Students enter into the discussions and much good is accomplished. There is also this feeling found among the women of today; that any girl who marries a man who has been a social rounder and with a taste for stimulants of any kind takes a terri ble risk. Young nun and young women are beginning to see that there is mpre to a mar riage than the announcements, the trousseau and a wedding-trip, for these things are trivial in themselves, but the effects of marriage on therace lay hold on eternity. NO NEED TO WORRY Some of our good friends have been worry ing over our liberality in aiding the Belgians, fearing that our home sufferers would not be cared for. To us there seems no need for this, for you will generally find that the people who will aid in a cause of this kind will also contri bute towards the care of our own needy. Rath er it is those who refuse to give to Belgium that are to be feared, when it comes to giving for home needs. Those who are givers and helpers are apt to give to all. Those who are not givers and helpers are not apt to give to Belgium or to home charities. Surely the peo ple of Heppner have much to be grateful for and there should be no talk about liberality to wards the Belgians. THE FIGHTING INSTINCT It was once a custom of the ancient Tuetons for the male to let his hair grow until he killed his first man. This was the goal of his life's aspirations. And from these ancient Tuetons the Germans, English and the Scandinavians have descended. They come from a common source and by fighting qualities . There has been a great deal of talk about the effect of Christianity upon the war spirit and in this connection we wish to caU attention to China which has had more uniform peace than any other nation and until comparatively recent times China never heard of Christianity. It seems as if we must give other systems of re ligion some credit for the spint of peace. In its last analysis peace is apt to depend more on the composition of the people than upon what religion they believe in. Remember the Poultry show. 0 Sign up for the Chautauqua. Ever visit the school? J. B. ED 10 The many friends of Miss Dorothy Ganger, a popular young lady of lone, will he pleased to know that she was married last night to Mr. J. B. Sparks, of Heppner. The ceremony was per- ' formed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Clark, in lone with only a few of the close relatives being present. Miss Ganger is the daughter of Mrs. C. E. Shaver of lone and is an accomplished and talented young lady. Mr. Sparks lives in Heppner and is the owner of the lo al moving picture theatre, as well as one in lone. He is a careful business manager and is widely known in this county. The young couple will live in their newly furnished home just south of the Commercial Club building. A tthe present time they have gone on their wedding trip to points in the western part of the state. They will return from Portland in a new automobile which Mr. Sparks has purchased. The Herald joins with their many friends in wishing this young couple a long, prosperous and happy life. Frank Duva'.l.'a young man work ing for Henry Smouse, who lives ten miles south of lone, was brought to this city Wednesday, suffering from injuries caused by a wagon running over both legs. He was over near Charley Anderson's place hauling water and was standing on the front wheel fixing tho seat, when the horses started. He reached over to grasp the lines and when these broke he fell, hitting thef ront wheel which threw him under the rear wheel, both of these passing over his legs above the knees. He was badly bruised but not seriously. There will be an old-time rousing basket social and dance on the 18th of this month in the Cecil Hall. The proceeds from the sale of the baskets will be used in buying a piano for the Hall. Everyone knows that the peo ple of Cecil do things right, so better be on hand that night. BAWLING ALLEY PASSE: The County Court lias not made the County tax levy and will not until the Clerk of the Stale Tax Commis sion informs them of the amount of the State tax. This is expected to be known in a few days. i Just as we go to press we learn that Mr. and Mrs. Jake Pearson's son was operated on for appendicitis to day and is getting along in fine shape. Herman Neilson, a well known Hardman rancher, came in today from his ranch. j The Noble force of expert harness and saddle makers have established a ! season's record in killing jack rabbits. I Last Sunday morning Al. Smith, j Fred Zinscn, Bert Stone, Gene Noble I and Hank Vance left the city peace fully slumbering and headed for j Juniper Canyon. There was no heavy artillery in the crowd, nothing big ger than rifles ,was allowed, so that j in case they cctipscd the former rec jord there would be no dispute. Ac cording to their version of the affair, jwhen the arrived at the head of 1 Juniper Canyon, the rabbits appeared I in vast droves. Th.-y drove up and idown the canyon in the car killing hundreds as they passed beneath the wheels. When this grew tame they demounted from the car and chased many to death. When they -began to deminish they shot the rest with their rifles. In all they killed 475 rabbits. Not bad. R. F. Wigglesworth and brother were seen in the city yesterday. Remember the Poultry Show.
