FALSE MODESTY
The State is sending out men fill over this
broad state preaching the doctrine of right liv
ing. 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.

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:

Hardman rancher, came in today from

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.
