If war was to cease tomorrow tho seven allied institutions that art combined in tho next war fund drive, which begins on the 11th, will need al! the money they are asking for to continue their work, until our soldier boyf return, which will be several months nt best. As a fact these institutions will hava greater demands to meet while the nfmy is inactive than under the strain of maintaining the fighting line, Thousands of men nro occupied during war times but when tho fighting ceas es the weeks of debarkation home will drag heavily on their hands. Then it will be that these boys begin thinking of home. They will feel that theit work has been accomplished, they will become homesick, and here is where tho Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A, th K. of C's., tho Salvation Army, Jewish Welfare, War Camp Service, Library Association, and other organized in stitutions which have been doing such noble work will come to their relief, When the committees call upon you next week, do not feel like the wai is over, nnd that because you have heretofore given of your substance freely while tho war was on, you have done your duty. You have not, there is yet a duty to perform and one and all will realize it, if they will only con sider. You will, Mnlheur has always gone over the top and the coming dilve will prove no exception. Ni 14 in MALHEUR'S BRIGHT FUTURE. With the Jordan Valley irrigation project and tho Warmsprings ir rigation projects, both secured in one year, Malheur county certainly has i bright future. Nowhere in the' northwest today, during the period of recon struction which must follow the signing of peace, is there a county that has the possibilities for industrial activity such as are offered the Pacific north west. We have the land nnd the water. All we need is additional popula tlon and tlieso two things will bring tho people. Tho people require home: nnd n multiplicity of homc3 build commercial centers, of which Vale will Ik ono and there will bo others. h fJl l I "WHAT A FRIEND AVE HAVE IN JESUS." Few men live to see their work generally accepted by millions of poo pie thruout tho world. Few indeed are tho Protestants of whatever denomin ntion, who have not heard "What a Friend We Have In Jesus". This sonr has been popular for over thirty years and is sung in thousands of churchcr every Sunday, The author, n lawyer, nn Inventor, ns well as n composer Chatles C. Converse, died at his home in New Jersey this week, at tho age o! 85. This one song has comforted millions in the past, and will continue tt soothe tho hearts of millions moro in the future. . 1st la fm Tts GLORY ENOUGH FOR ANY THREE MEN. ,'Mayor Randolph will always have pleasant memories that the anvi from his smithy wan used in tho celebration Monday evening and who wil ever begrudge heraing Tom Nelson and Saxon Humphrey rclnte as the yean roll on how they furnlshd tho powder and carried the red hot iron torch thai fired tho snluto the evening of November 4th, 1918, when the news was re ceived that Warmsprings Irrigation project had received favorablo consider ation in Washington. M Fn fta REMEMBER OUR FRIENDS. Malheur county is under lasting obligations to the many friends whe rendered such valient assistance in the Warmsprings victory but in tho final analysis too much credit cannot bo given Congressman Sinnott nnd United States Senator McNnry. These friends worked in session and out of sessior and had it not been for their everlasting staying qualities and untiring ill'orts wo would never havo been able to have gotten tho matter out of the hands of tho Capital Issues Committee. Friends like these should not nnd will not be forgotten. (s Ha la In ONTARIO WILL BE BENEFITED. Warmsprings will add greatly to tho commercial growth of Ontario. Several thousand acres of land now barren practically adjoining the city limits will bo placed in a high state of cultivation, similar to adjoining tracts whlph unjoyed water rights, and have been wonderful producers for mnny yar. Ontatio boing tho junction point to the main lino will nlso enjoy the bcnetlts that will follow an increased population, now mndo possible Pa lm pa Every body wears tho smilo thr.t is emphatic this week. Gus Wild habcr tries his best to appear conservative but he just can't do it. It will bo remembered that in tho early porlod of tho present proposition ho practic ally forgot business for about thrco weeks. That is all past history now nnd ho is ready for tho next big thing. W h P8 5 Thero Is ono thing that might greatly handicap the immediate growth of this community and that would bo in the expectation of tho realization ot tho long years of doffercd hope, that land prices mny bo placed nt such a figure that would retard development. Thero is such a thing as killing the gooao that laid tho golden egg, m lui h m While thero is glory enough for all, yot tho Board of directors realize that they had a master mind in Secretary Hope, whoso yenrs of business experience especially fitted him for this work. Rebuff after rebuff came in rapid succession, but his cool, clear senso of justice know thnt thero could bo but ono final outcome, M ft M ft That united band of determined men who year after year havo met with discouragement, but still stayed on the job aro the men who accomplished! things. Thero was not a quitter in the ranks, every man stood to his post. This is just tho beginning. Watch this community grow. h m ft hi The irony of fate is often puMcllng. Why could not havo John R. Rigby lived to see the completion of his years of devotion and labor in tho success of tho Warmsprings. Ho laid the foundation upon which wo today are largely building. Fa ft ft Ku A start was made thin year by tho introduction of soveral silos, these will increase, dairy herds will soon become popular, and then within tho near futuro the Enterprise will announce the establishment of a creamery. ft ft ft ft It, was a long battle but the Capital Issues Committee finally made tho unconditional surrender. ft ft ft ft Fpr ono short hour Monday evening Valo citizens forgot all about the war, WHY NOT TRY THE EXPERIMENT? Tho fact that schools thruout the state havo been closed for several weeks during the influenza epidemic, makes a serious condition faced by many localities , of which Vale is no exception. How is this time to be made up in order that the hundreds of school children may maintain their grades. and be in a position to merit promotion. This is a sarious matter and many ways have been suggested to remedy it. City superintendent of schools D. W. Hammack has suggested one plan that is being considered and that is to teach six days in a week. This sounds practical and unless some reason is presented whereby this should not be done it seems that herein lies the solution. Fall work is over, it will be four months at least until such an arr angement would interfere with spring work, and with iew, individual excep tions, it docs not seem that this plan would materrialy interfere with many homes. It is quite possible that if the mnjority of this community would request that this six day school suggestion be put into effect the board of directors might take the matter in hand and try it out. In school circles and among those who have given our public school system consideration, the question of six days a week instead of five ha3 often been discussed. Here is an oppor tunity for Valo to give it(a trial. It is recognized that the break of two days in school work of each week has some bad effect, as far as efficientcy is concerned. School is business, what business could maintain efficientcy, if out of each week there would be two days of suspension 1 Some for years have advocated longer hours, but we do not bcleive that the educators would advise this. Six hours of constant concentration is thought by many to be all that should be expected of young people. ft ft ft ft When President R. E. Wcant of tho Warmsprings Irrigation project notified the Enterprise of the favorable action of the Capital Issues Committee the telephone line carried the voice of a victorious general. Some victory alright and only those who are familiar with all of the details can appreciate it to the full extent. ft ft ft ft After Italy recovered from her first backset, she covered her self with glory on two big smashes both at the opportune time. Her last victory in crushing Austria, will give her an upholstered chair at the peace confer ence. ft ft ft ft There will be soon Thanksgiving dinner among he over-sea boys 2,000, 000 strong. But that will be nothing compared with the home dinner in our homo land 100,000,000 strong. ft ft ft ft Rex Marquis, we wonder if the people of Vale fully appreciate what they owe to that faithful old scout. He was always on the job. ft ft ft ft If the election did not go the way you wanted it you can take solace in the fact that the Warmsprings did. ft ft ft ft Paul Freeman was herd to remark at the celebration Monday evening 'Tho last of the frontier". ft ft ft ft Tho fire bell never sent forth such sounds of harmony as it did Monday night. ft ft ft ft Irrigation in this section will ultimately mean diversified farming.

BROGAN TRADING AND LUMBER CO. General Merchandise J. A. Kennedy, Mgr. Brogan, Qregon When the Engine Stalls on Dead Man's Curve! THEY climb aboard their loaded truck at sundown, fifteen miles behind the lines. They rumble through the winding streets, out on the white road that leads to Germany 1 The man at the wheel used to be a broker in Philadelphia Beside him sits an accountant from Chicago. A news paper man from the Pacific Coast is the third. Now they all wear the uni form of one of these organizations. The road sweeps round a village and on a tree is nailed a sign: "Attention! L'Ennemi Vous Voitl The Enemy Sees Youl" They glance far "up ahead and there, suspended in the evening light, they see a Hun balloon. "Say, we can see him plain tonlghtP murmurs the accountant from Chicago. "And don't forget," replies the Phila delphia broker, "that he can see us just as plain." The packing cases creak and groan, the truck plods on straight toward that hanging menace. They reach another village where heaps of stone stand under crumpled walls. Then up they go, through the strange silence broken only when a great pro jectile inscribes its arc of sound far overhead. They reach a turn. They take it They face a heavy incline. For half a mile it stretches and they know the Germans have the range of every inch of it. Hie mountain over there is where the big Bodies' guns are fired. This incline is their target The three men on the truck bring up their gas masks to the alert, settle their steel helmets closer on their heads. At first the camion holds its speed, Then it slackens off. The driver grabs his gear-shift, kicks out his clutch. The engine heaves and heaves and stalls! "Quick! Spin it!" calls the driver. The California journalist has jumped. He tugs at the big crank. " Wh-r-r-r-r-r-r-room ! " The shell breaks fifty yards behind. Another digs a hole beside the road just on ahead. And then the engine comes to life. It crunches, groans and answers. Slowly, with maddening lack of haste, it rumbles on. "Wh-r-r-ooml" That ono was closs behind. The fragments of the shell are rattling on the truck. Now sheila are falling, further back along the road. And the driver feels the summit as his wheels begin to pick up speed. Straight down a village street in which the buildings are only skeletons of buildings. He wheels into the court yard of a great shell-torn chateau. "Well, you made it again I see!" says a smiling face under a tin hat a face that used to look out over a congrega tion in Rochester. "Yep!" says the driver glancing at his watch. "And we came up Dead Man's Curve in less than three minutes including one stall!" Later that night two American boys, fresh from the trenches bordering that shattered town, stumble up the stairs of the chateau, into a sandbagged room where the Rochester minister has his canteen. "Get any supplies tonight?" they ask. "You bet I did!" is the answer, "What will you have?" "What's those? Canned peaches? Gimme some. Package of American cigarettes let's see an' a cake of chocolate an' some of them cookies!" "Gosh!" says the other youngster when his wants ore filled. "What would we do without you?" You hear that up and down the front, a dozen times a night "What would we do without them?" Men and women in these organiza tions are risking their lives tonight to carry up supplies to the soldiers. Trucks and camionettes are creeping up as close as any transportation is permitted. From there these people are carrying up to the gun-nests, through woods, across open fields, into the trenches. The boys are being served wherever they go. Things to eat, things to read, things to smoke, are being carried up everywhere along the line. With new troops pouring into France, new supplies must be sent, more men and women by the hundreds must be enlisted. They are ready to give every thing. Will you give your dollars to help them help our men?
