Psalm 51: 15, 16, A COOL HEAD AND A READY RIFLE Much, has been said in the press the last two days about Cliff IcGinnis, who lives near the Grande Ronde river in the Promise district, and who captured the Wallowa bank robber suspects single handed. And of all that has been said, McGinnis is deserving, and is rightly cast in the hero role, ' Our Promise correspondent writes in simple words the , story of , the feat, and here it is: . "Cliff McOlnnls, who lives near the Grande Rondo river about . five miles below Promise, made a trip up the Powwatka ridge Thursday afternoon and stopped at the home of Ord Wortman and they were telling him about the bank robbery which nad occurred at Wallowa Monday In which two men' held up the bank and V escaped with cash and valunblo papers. The robbers entered their cor and took of the Leap country road where the officers lost track of them, McOlnnls was told. ' ..... "Cliff Decided to himself that these men might have abandoned their car (which they had) and might bo hiding In the Mud Crock canyon. He: loft the Wortman home at 4 o'clock In the afternoon and went directly to the canyon. He spied two men coming down the canyon side from the east. Cliff hurried on to his home and secured his rifle and field glasses and told his mother he thought he had located some deer. 8he Insisted on accompanying him. Then he told her of the bank robbery at' Wallowa and that he sav two men In the canyon Just a short distance away. He went on and soon located the men and succeeded In getting close enough to get his gun trained them. Cliff yelled to them that he had them covered with his rtfle and that they had better. give them selves up. One of the men quickly complied with his request while the other ono argued the case awhile and finally both threw down their' guns and did as'he'told them. He marched them ahead of ' .him and made them wndo the river as It was getting late nnd it r was a' mile to tho bridge over a rough trail, and by wading the river they soon reached his house. "In the meantime Mrs. McOlnnls waited anxiously for Cliff's t return. She saw nlm coming with the two men and loaded her own gun to be prepared to defend herself and Cliff in case they made any opposition. Cliff told her to prepare them some supper aa they had not had food for several days. She prepared them food and gave them dry clothing. , ; "They then phoned to Troy for extra men to guard the prisoners while Cliff went back and got tho money where the robbers had told him It was hidden. He obtained the money and phoned the tariff." It was as simple as that for Cliff McGinnis just a coo) head and' a ready rifle and an abundance of what the slangy world calls "sand." All honor to him -- we need more men like Cliff; and we need more women like his mother, who was ready for any dpvelopment, ready to defend her son and not standing in his way in what he saw as simple duty. A few more people like the McGinnis mother and son over the nation and the crime wave would le just a little ripple. ters already established In La Grande. Ashland and possibly In Portland?" Declaring that ahe did not? assume In any way that the press of the state couldl be controlled or that It needs guidance, Mrs. Pierce threw out the suggestion that Journalists might unlto with the state editorial associa tion In formulating a program that would remove from editorial and news columns some of the sectional and institutional partisanship and bit terness, and that would help the board to put before tile public edu cational news and .comment of real significance and Importance. Sacrifice Necessary . "There must be further adjustment to hard years which aro to come be cause public funds will be small," Mrs. Pierce said In conclusion. "Fac ulties must bo called for continued. sacrifice, students will find It diffi cult to support themselves and par ents will find It often Impoaible to gratify the ambitions of their chil dren. All our energies must be de voted to the effort to hold, lfpos slble, the fullest opportunity for serlpus students and to glvo every en couragement to the development of special talents.

"In the meantime shall the burden rest upon tho student through- fees, tuitions nnd debts? Shall rhooe who cannot pay these fee be denied the campus or shall the campus be open to all highly qualified students without fees?" (Other tapirs calling lor serious study were professional education, Jnntor colleges, faculty councils, uni fication of tlx present system, and the relations with tho press. "Shall Oregon educate for all pro fessions freely and without fees at publlo expense or shall there be a comity In higher education which will distribute pntfcnslonal schools among the neighboring states of the Pacific Coast?" the board) member asked. At tills point Mrs. Pierce raised the question of teacher trnlntng for elementary schois. "Shall wo con tinue to offer preparation of col legiate or graduate grade for doctors, lawyers, druggists and architects and bo content with two years of normal school work for the training of public school teachers? Can Oregon be con tent with Its system of elementary teacher training? Docs it not call for Immediate revision nnd for establish ment of a teachor's college?" It was asked.

I One cent a day (3.65 per year), Invested In a National Protective Policy, will now buy more accident insurance benefits than can bo se cured from any other company for any amount up to 10 per year. This new policy, paying accident benefits uo to 100 each month or 1000 to $1500 at death, Is now be ing sold to all men. women and children, between the ages of 7 and 80 years, whether employed or not. More people In tho U. S. were killed by auto acldcnts during the past 18 months than the entire number of American soldiers killed In anion or died of wounds during the 18 months America was in the world war. Many people saythat the National Protec tive benefits for auto accidents of 100 a month (Instead of the usual 25 or 50 a month) Is alone worth the entire cost of 3.65 a year. Yet this Is but one of the many features of this new and unusual policy. The National Protective Is the lar gest and oldest company of Its kind In the world.

DRAPER, Prop. aces in Ford V-8 dramatically proved its superiority in speed and en durance, by averaging 80.22 miles an hour for 203 miles with a maximum speed of 100.3 miles an hour in the famous Elgin National Road Race for stock cars. The event was run under rules and personal super vision of the American Auto mobile Ass'n contest board. Fifteen cars, of four different makes (including the "other two" in the low price field) were entered. Seven Ford V-8s finished in the first seven places. Only one competitive car fin ishedin eighth place. Over a treacherous course of concrete, bituminous macadam and gravel, these Fords took more punishment in minutes than you would give your car in months. It is much safer and far more economical to travel 60 or 65 miles an hour in a car built to do 80, than it is to travel at the same speed in a car built to do 65 or 70. sesn Nsw Ford V-8 Da luxe Coupa-grcce- tul in Ime, rich in finish and appointmenU vsP V-o AUTHORIZED FORD DEALERS
