As a mnttor of dollars and cents, George
McDulTee received more for his part in the
recent attempted hold-up than the robbers
would have cleared had lie not spoiled their
plans. The same business ability directed in
honest and dishonest
Doing Right Pays business always yields
as a Matter of the biggest returns,
Dollars and Cents, financially, to the per
son directing it in hon
est undertakings. It is a common observa
tion that where the results which are striven
for, even though they might not be determin
ed in dollars and cents, are always greater to
the person who tenaciously works with and
for the right. Oflice-seeking, a desire to
excell in any line of endeavor, where the
money end is not considered, always furnish
opportunity for the employment of open,
straightforward efforts and the opposite,
questionable and dishonorable practices.
Telling the truth and fair dealing is a busi
ness asset. Fire, flood, panics and war can
destroy an institution but if it has established
a name for square dealing, it can overcome
these disasters and live. The man who deals
in the questionable, that which is under the
pale, is treading an uncertain path. In these
days of opportunity and plenty there should
be no need of misrepresentation, crooked
dealings and an attempt to live without work.

The road going past the School in Ileppner

almost impassable and as the wheat-hauling
season begins in earnest it will continue to
get worse. The reason

Attention. packed down hard
enough to nfford good
travel. One of the prominent business men
of the town suggested that the city put two
loads of straw on the stretch which will make
a fine roadway. We believe if the Council
will examine the place it will agree with this
man and have the road repaired. With this
exception Ileppner has the finest streets and
roads leading into the city of any city for
miles around. Let's fix the only objection

e have received many inquiries, especially
Iroiu the Middle-west and Eastern states in
regard to the rrominent People and Indivi
duals and Industries which Lave been ap
pearing in the Herald. Most of them want
ing to know it the articles are true to life
and represent what can
lie found here at th
present time. We wish
to say that these arti
cles are true in every
pnrtieulwr. In manv
cases we have understated the facts believing
that they would carry greate'1 conviction to
the reader. The only purpose that the Herald
has had in view in printing th"se articles has
been to show the wonderful development of
this country within the memory of the pres
ent generation and to show, as a land of op-! Herald
portunity, Morrow ( ounty and Oregon can
not be surpassed.
Most of these articles are about men and
women who have come to Oregon from other
states and they are well qualified to draw
distinctions and in every case these decisions
have been favorable to this county. Any
man or woman w hose name has appeared
under these heads will gladly answer any
questions which interested parties might
care to ask.
The Herald wishes to say that no person
has ever given nnythiuir for the article
which has dealt with him in this paper.
These are not written for monetary considera
tion. We believe that the statement of what
men and women have done here and now is
the neatest advertisement to any community,
hence these articles. We welcome sugges
tions at all times concerning any business or
person which will aid in the work of letting
people know what kind of a country we live
in.

Mr. Jackrabbit had beat him to it

Any owners of a 1913 or 1914

The present state of affairs in the world re
veals the fact that the United States is a
good place to live in. We have heard con-,
siderable about the high cost of living, high
taxes and other things which are aviating.
Taxes in their last analysis are charges which
the state levies for some service which it ren
ders. In countries

More To Live In forms few services,
The United States. taxes are low. No one
ever heard of taxes, in
the modern meaning of the term, being high
in places where the state did not render these
services. The first service which every state
provides for is protection. Under this head
comes the army, navy, inilita, courts, sheriffs,
policemen, and a dozen other agencies where
by the individual may live in peace and
security. The other services which the state
renders are almost without number.
The reason why taxes are higher here than
in Mexico is because the state does more for
the individual and for no other reason. One
day a man might be a millionaire and the next
day a pauper m Mexico. If it is worth any
thing to the individual to know that his pos
sessions are safe and free from appropriation
by a stronger party, then he should be willing
to pay ior tins just the same as he pays an
insurance company for protecting his house
from fire.

The Best Way To
Boost This County
Is To Send Your
Friends The Herald.
The editors wish to say a word about the
people who have made it possible for the
Herald to be sent to many people, especially
in the Middle-Western states. One man re
cently ordered the paper sent to five persons
who ho thought would
be interested in this
country if they receiv
ed a paper published in
the county. We have
had at least twenty
subscribers in the past few weeks pay for its
delivery to parties in Iowa, Illinois, Minne
sota and Missouri. One of the reasons why
we placed the subscription price so low was
to enable these public spirited persons to be
able to do this.
We want you to notice the paper, the pres
ent issue, with the idea of forming an impres
sion of the town, the people, the crops, the
tut ure ot it, as if you were a stranger or as
a man living on $L(U0 an acre land in Illinois.
He fair with us and yourself and see if you
don't form a favorable impression. The
next time you want to send a friend some
thing concerning the town, send him the

and these to subscribers free of charge. If
you are a subscriber and contemplate leaving
town for a vacation, speak to us about it and
the Herald will follow you and we will bear
the expense. If you know of anyone who is
interested in Ileppner or Morrow County,
hand us his name and we will try to arrange
so that they get the paper.
