an impromptu out door gathering

JiicU' Biggs and Assistant Bailey of
the attorney general were asked to
address the gathering of people.
The piano was moved out of h
theatre into the arched lobby In front
and the high school glee club, lad by
: principal Storll, rendered some patrl
' otic songs and helped to make the
occasion one of rejoicing at the suc
cess of our armies.
Judge Biggs, made a fine address,
and one that brought the people to
their feet, with stirring words of en
couragement for our great country
and its able president. Mr Bailey also
had some good things to say.
James Donegal) made a short an

During the American operations
against Meta a German regiment
underwent an almost unique experi
ence. It was flanked right and lo't
simultaneously, and though It might
have continued to fight It did just a.t
practical a thing In surrendering.
The Americans could have massacred
It or starved It without losing a man.
Its colonel called the role, and
every man answered. He then sug
gested to his captors that as his com
mand was so distressingly complete
It might as well preserve Its organiza
tion, and with Its officers and ton
corns., It marehed, disarmed and
under escort, to the detention camp.
The only thing lacking was a brass
band.
Tho coup was accomplished by
Yankee quickness. The quickness
was made possible by flawless trans
portation facilities and equipment.
These things make for bloodless vic
tory. And they cost money.
The amount called for in the new
loan appeal is stupendous. It is not a
case of "Have you bought s bond?"
but "How many have you bought?"
But money means superior equip
ment and bloodless triumphs. Fight
ing with safety so far as it is pos
sible improves with organisation.
Death and casualty rates have shrunk
considerable at the front. We havo
seen 8 per cent go to 3 per cent.
Money buys gas-masks, lire-saving
appliances and hospital equip
ment. It's our money or the lives of
our boys. Don't weaken, men and
women of Harney County.

111. DF.FKNMK BKINtiH PHOTKHT
Last Tuesday, being the first of
the mouth, the pool ball, soft drink
places, drug stores, etc. closed at 'i
o'clock because of having seen In a
Portland paper where the State
Council of Defense had Issued an or
der that all such places be closed at
that hour. It caused considerable
unfavorable remarks from those who
had not been given aay -aatiea and it
was responsible for a meeting called
by the local defense league later In
the week where strong resolutions
were passed sgalnst such drastic
measures and the protest has been
signed by practically every business
concern in Burns.
Later it was found ma- Portland
had registered such a vigorous pro
test and the Liberty Loan Executive
Committee had filed a strong plea
for a deference of the order until It
could have further Investigation, the
Defense league called it off for seven
days. Now it is probable the order
will be entirely Ignored or greatly
modified. It does not apply to this
section of Hie country at any rute
and the people will not likely be ask
ed to observe it.

Such celebrations are encouraged
by the government to keep up the
enthusiasm and spirits of the people
and to keep them mindful of their
part In the great struggle now going
on to suppress the Hun. They are a
good stimulus to a community and
bring nut the patriotism of every red

GRIFFITH RETIKEH FROM
PHAtrriCK
The people of this community re
gret that 111 health has been the
cause of Dr. C. C. Griffith retiring
from the practice of medicine. He
has been in active practice In this
city for several years, being first
associated with the late Dr. Marsden,
later Mil-ceding to the big practice
which that popular physician had
built up. Dr. Griffith Is not only a
fine WHfy'stclan, but a man who has
clans In the practice. He is a very
competent mini professionally and an
agreeable gentleman to associate
with. He bus proven this since com
ing to this city and It is fortunate for
the eeinnnn.it v that Dr. Griffith
should find such a man to succeed
him and one whom he can recom
mend to his many friends and former
patients.
Dr. Griffith has purchased a big
farm from H. ('. I. evens and at once
begins to break up a large acreage
formerly devoted to wild hay and
which will he seeded to alfalfa, lie
will not take up his residence on the
place permanently for the prosent as
Cbas. Wilson and his wife are still
on tlie premises, but as soon as Mr.
Wilson has disposed of his peronal
affairs the Doctor and his wife will
make their home on the fariu Just
below town.
HltlMTMAM HHOPP1NU
It is unfortunate that so many
truths are truisms. We would realize
that early shopping at Christmas Is a
holy obligation If people would glvo
up saying so. We tell each other
about it, and repeat it to ourselves.
AsI on December tho 24th we join
the good old annual bull-fight.
Proverbs were made to be negloot
ed. Even ethical fundamentals are
sooeptod to be disregarded. Wo
agree that It is wrong to lie; we feel
Insulted when we are called liars;
and we would be ashamed to bo with
out gumption enough to tell a good
one when expedient.
When Moses broke the stono tables
of the Law on Sinai he probably saw
what was coming. " What s the use of
ten commandments?" he thought.
"Or twenty? They'll all be endorsed
and disobeyed by the same people."
The ancient rale about Christmas
shopping has additional backing this
year. Consideration for saiegirls
we have habitually withheld, but
herejK is Miss Columbia that speaks.
"Make work easy for salespeople,'
she says. "Don't exhaust their re
serve energy they need it for knit
ting. Don t make It necessary for
storekeepers to hire extra clerks
they are wanted for war work. Don't
buy useless things. Buy chiefly for
children. Spread your shopping over
October, November and early Dec
ember." This is embodied in the published
request of the National Council of
Defense. Patriotic citizens will ob-'
serve It, and others may well contem
plate the possibility of something
stronger than a request next year.
