A young man of Hood River called at Senator McNary’s office last week on his way home from the Red sea. He said sailors of the American mer chant marine hoped no guns will be placed on the boats., As a seaman he has been delivering war supplies to the British.

The federal government has done everything possible to prevent the practices complained of and maintains a free information bureau from which prospective settlers may obtain all desired information about the land, its classificstion, prices, and when water will be delivered; yet notwithstanding this service, there are victims. One woman writes that she made a contract for land in the Grand Coulee district and now discovers that it will be 15 years before water will be delivered to it, by which time her husband will be g5 years old. The salesman, she says, assured her the acreage would be a nice place to retire to and enjoy life. Since the acreage is practically worthless with out irrigation, the possibility of “en joyment” may be questioned. Ac cording to the woman’s letter she also paid too much for the land.

The politicians, promoters, power-grab bers and their ilk are doing their utmost, but so far the spirit of pri vate enterprise has held them back. If the good fight is kept up and fu ture elections finally turn the crowd out who are trying to wipe private enterprise out, we may get our Amer ica back again with opportunity for /outh aside from trying to get on a government pay roll.—Oregon Voter. Howdy Folks A play on the football field isn’t exciting unless every man does his part at the precise moment. A good coach has this in mind all the time. When one player wears down he is replaced. • The same is true in your car. A worn part can cut down on your power and make driving a headache rather than a pleasure. • Bring your car to Amzy & Ernie and let them do the coaching.
