GILLIAM COUNTY'S LEADING HOME PAPER VOL 29 CONDON, OREGON, FRIDAY, OCT. 25, 1918 NO. 32 4. Do Fou Wanf Tour Dollars to Help the Boys? ' ' ' ..,... i Have Them Ready for the Next Drive and You'll Bring Comfort to the Soldiers Gilliam county' thare in th next drive will be $5,600 and this will be the United War Work Campaign which include! the Y. M. C. A., Kni?hta of Colum bui, Y. W. C. A., Jewish Wel fare Board, Salvation Army, War Community Service, and American Library Association. The drive for funds for these organizations and societies were united at the request of the Pres ident of tho United States to SOMEBODY'S DOLLARS WILL DO IT I WONDER IF THEY'LL BE YOURS By Bruce Barton v I will tell you what will happen some night this winter in France. Some night when it's cold and dark. There will be rustling through the front line trench, where our boys stand guard. And a heavily-laden Secretary will make his way along. In his hands will be great steaming pots, in his pockets chocolateand cigarettes. From one man to another he will go. passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands that tremble with the cold; bringing the comfort of Soldier Tells of Wonderful Work Being Done in A letter from Floyd Maxwell who is known to many people in this county, contains much of interest, He says: "I am at last in France nnd can say that I am enjoying the best of health, plenty of good eats and a good place to sleep so who could want a better job for a while anyway. I suppose the people at home are worrying about the living conditions here being bad and all that dope but let me tell you that it is a)l bunk because Uncle Sam looks after his men over here a whole lot Better Light at Lower Coot Lalley-Light actually coats less than poorer light. It costs less because of the time it saves and the labor it saves. It costs less because it gives better light for after-night work. ' .' Because it makes the home more cheerful. Because its electric power runs the chum, and the separator, and the women can do other needful tasks. Because it enables you to have running water in house and barn. Consider Lalley-Light as an economy, and you will not be wrong as owners' testimonials show. Call for the book of these letters, and for a free demonstra-Ition. A. D. ROBERTSON, avoid the expense and inconven ience of making a drive for each organization. By this arrange ment there will be but two or ganizationa or societies in the future for which campaign funds will be requested, the Red Cross and the organizations above men tioned. The national quota for this amalgamated drive is $170, 600,000; the state quota is 1770. 000. The County Executive Com mittee is busy rating everyone in a bifof sweet and a smoke. Men will bail him cheerily, slapping him on the back; and when he has gone things will be a little essier in that trench be cause he haa passed that way. How much will it cost to make that trip, do you suppose? Count ing the pittance that the Secre tary is paid, and the cost of the chocolate and the cigarettes and all? Five dollars? Twenty-five dollars? I do not know. But whether it is five dollars or twenty-five, I'd like to think better than he did at home. At present we are living in a coun try where it is wet and rainy and he has issued fine rubber boots to all the men here and these with good raincoats keep us dry. And the eats are great for we have an abundance of white bread and fresh meat and po tatoes with a few delicacies every once in a while. The re deeming feature about the whole business is the Y. M. C. A. They have a fine big building here and have entertainment as well as furnish American tobacco and LOCAL AGENT ftfeifl.,. L.nik.

That some night when its cold and lonesome, my money and yours might send a Secretary ont along that front line trench. Let's make up our minds that we are going to pay for a score of those trips. ' A score of the nights this winter shall be our nights. -Nights when the boys greet joyously the chocolate and cigar ettes that our money provided; and are happier because our representative has passed.

This means that practi cally every family in the county has a bond. . It is a record to be proud of. Also Gilliam was one of the first counties in the state to ; subscribe its full quota. Nearly everyone who was rated and notified of their assessment responded by purchasing a bond or by appearing before the com mittee and giving a reason for not making the investment. A" few failed to do either and the names of these will be published and they will be reported to the state executive committee for further action. WHICH LAW WILL SERVE PEOPLE BEST? , Let the present delinquent tax publication law of Oregon alone. WheneVIr the voters of the state tamper with an existing statute of merit, the inevitable result is a boomerang. When ever, likewise, the freak legisla tion fiendd succeed in placing some wild etherial plan on the statute books, the voters of Ore gon bear the burden until such time as the law can be cut off the books. Such is the history of freak legislation. , Get this point clear. The present- delinquent tax publication law was devised for one purpose only to protect the unfortunate delinquent taxpayer from that peculiar brand of social parasite known as the title grabber. . It is considered a model law by ad joining states and its practical application has convinced all that it is a statute of merit. When speakingof statutes, merit can only be measured by services rendered to the citizens of the state. - ; C. S. Jackson, editor of the Portland Journal, is attempting to suDstitute a pet scheme of his own to replace the present law. Glance at the differences be tween the present law , and the Jackson camouflage measure: The present law provides tha a mail notice be sent to all ctelio quents within a certain time fol lowing the delinquency date. The Jackson law does likewise The present law, to save the delinquent property from the title grabbers and scheming land attorneys, who are always"taking a chance"on deliquent titles, fur ther provides that when the mail notices fail to perform their func tion, then and only then, may the notice be given by publica tion. . The Jackson law. amendment leaves put the publication entirely and 1 thus the delinquent who fails to gev his notice is entirely at the mercy of the title grabber. Which is the better law? Which serves the interest of the tax payer best? Which is the more equitable statute from the tax payers' viewpoint? The answer is apparent to ev ery thinking voter. Vote "No" on Jackson's delinquent tax bill. Billie Blakely, who is attending Mt. Angel College, is recovering from an attack of influenza Mrs. H. A. Hartshorn arrived in Condon Sunday from the east, Mrs. W. A. Darling and little granddaughter arrived in Condon Sunday evening. Chas, Williams went to Pendle ton yesterday. . I BEST INSTITUTE EVER HELD IN THIS COUNTY All the teachers of Gilliam county, except three, were pres ent at the institute held in Con don last week, and these three attended elsewhere during the year. All present showed the right spirit by enrolling as mem bers of the State Teachers' Asso ciation, thus making this insti tute 100 per cent loyal. A joint assembly endorsed the movement for additional normal schools for Oregon. They also recommended joint institutes whee possible. On Saturday morning, all de parted for their several schools, feeling and expressing their ap preciation for the manner in which they had been treated and cared for by the good people of Condon. All expressed a desire to return to Condon and voted the institute, the people and the town the nest ever." R. R. Dawson of Lone Rock was in Condon Saturday. He ordered the Globe for his eon who is in France. s CLEAN UP PREMISES TO PREVENT FIRES Fire prevention day was -set for November 2 in a proclama tion issued by Governor Withy- combe last week and a general cleaning up is urged as a patriotic duty on that day. State Fire Marshal Wells lays great stress on the observance of that - day. . He says in part: "The cleaning up of the premises by the obliteration of rubbish, debris, waste materials etc, not only affords better safeguards against fire, but constitutes im provement from a sanitary stand point which is of vital importance at all times and especially during periods of epidemics."
