Not only did Henry Ford give his workmen a raise in wages but he gave to the country at large a greatly improved model A car. Henry has suceeded in removing the Ford characteristics from his new model and at the same time has be itowed upon it the appearance of a real car. It now seems to be in the same class as his famous Lincoln and the car made by Buick. A sample of the new vehicle is on exhibition at the Kramer garage where all who desire may view it in all its added glory. The Portland Oregonian recently printed a lengthy editorial anent the squib relative to nick names written by The Times man and published a few weeks ago. The Oregonian writer regarded our effort as be ing worthy of comment and says that nick-names are "conducive to the tempering of social formality, and this being the case they may reasonably be held to further our human fellowship." That ir just the point we tried to emphasize, and they who were mentioned may rest easy as the ediorial further says, ''those names serve to make Maupin, whatever its locational and cultural advantages may be, a more liveable place." All of which is true. "Firemen, Save My Child" has been yelled from stage and screen. Maupin firemen are a bold, dashing galaxy of youth, bravery and daring. Our fire department has distinguish ed itself of late years by promptly turning out and combatting grass and sundry other conflagrations. It has a reputation of being on the job all the time, ro much that its ranks are being augmented by the youth and strength of the city. At the last meeting eight embryo fire-1 men were taken into full fellowship of the department and should a fire I occur we would not be surprised to see each one of the eight in the fore front of fire fighting acticity. Imagine Ira Kidder or Jesse Adding ton climbing to the top story of a high building and braving the stroke and flame seeking the rercuc of a bawling infant. Visualize Bob Wil son and Joe Kramer hoisting ladders and directing streams of water and making an heroic effort to subdue the flames in a burning building. Just imagine that and then realize tfrat, Ijoking aside, Maupin has a real fire department directed by a man who knows the fire fighting game from the ground up. The i mall fire losses in this city attest the department's efficiency. Hurstel Hollis was down from his sheep ranch on Tuesday and re ports his sheep as doing nicely. Hurstel has it figured out that the man with a few rhcep is ahead of he who tries to farm and at tho same time raise woollies. That man must invest a considerable a.mount in farm equipment, hire labor dur ing lambing, just when hia crops should bo put in the ground, all of The man 1 ONLY 'TRAIN from CENTRAL OREGON making DIRECT CONNECTION FOR ALL POINTS EAST Lv.
