Not long ago I was told that there
were more Ford Automobiles in Russia
than any other make. Nearly every
Grand Di-ke has one and some have
three or four. The Russian Army has
several hundred. Austria-Hungary
had an entire regiment equipped with
American made motorcycles. Reports
have it that this regiment was destroy
ed. Evidently they were no match for
the Fords. Singer sewing machines
are sold in every city and town in the
civilized world. American typewriters
civilized world. Ameirean typewriters
are the standard of the world and
there are few foreign makes which
compete with them on the market.
American breakfast foods are feeding
the Allied armies today and shoes have
been sent there by the million pairs.
Go where you will you can never get
far from "Made in U. S. A." goods
and especially American haruwnre
and farm implements. On the step
pes of Russia, on the tundras of
Siberia, high on the tablelands of
Afghanstan and dotting the pampass
of South America, American-mude ma
chinery plants, cultivates and harvest
the great crops of the world.
The other day I stopped i the
Vaughn hardware store in Heppner
This store handles most everything
which is made for and sold by hard
ware dealers. The firm started busi
ness in Heppner about seven years
ago. F. P. Vaughn and his two sons,
Charley and John constituted the ori
ginal firm until three years ago when
the elder Mr. Vaughn retired from
active work. Their place of business
is located on Main Street and is shelt
ered by a building sixty by two-hundred
and forty feet. The upstairs is
devoted to buggy display rooms and
here are found the famous Henny
Buggies. Henny buggies are as good
as are made and as boy I have seen
them made back in their factories in
Illinois.
The main room downstairs holds
their stock of light hardware, stove'-.
paints and such articles. In the rear
are the heavy harvesting machines,
plows and farm implements. Ths
main bulk of the business, of course,
deals with farm Implements. It
would be an interesting comparison
to see grain threshed as it was in the
time of our forefathers back in tha
Middle and New England states and
the way it is done today. They used
to drive cattle over it and blow off
the chaff, sometimes a flail was used.
Case threshing machines are sold.
They also sell the Case automobiles in
various sizes and designs. It makes
little difference what price you care
to pay, there is a Case car for that
price and you can rest assured that it
is a good as you can get for the money.
McCormick Binders and headers are
handled by the Vaughns, the kind your
father bought and which will last a
lifetime when properly used giving
steady service. I happened to see
four new Superior Grain Drills which
had just been assembled. The Superior
Grain Drills are just what the name
implies. There were other implements
and farm machines such as feed grind
ers, elevators, plows, harrows and
seeders.
In the main room on the south side
are displayed guns of all kinds. All
kinds of cutlery and knives are hand
led and complete stocks of sharpen
ing tools. Along the center is found
the aluminum ware, the paints, oils
and varnishes. On the north side are
the well known Round Oak Stoves of
every kind and description. There are
to be found washing machines which
run by electricity and which have
made washing a thing of pleasure.
Complete tool equipments for carpen
ters, masons and other mechanics are
found as you would expect to find in
every first-class hardware store. In
the Vaughn Hardware store you can
find every article which comes in the
category of those things which such
stores are in the business of supply
ing. There is nothing of the cheap,
made-to-sell variety, and they believe
in the old saying which runs to the
effect that cheap prods arc den at
any price. When vou buy an article
of t.itni they are interested in ise-iing
that it gives you satisfactory service.
No one lives in the country now in
the sense that people lived in the coun
try half a century ago. No one cal
led the farmer "the poor farmer." He
was called just "farmer" because
everybody knew he was poor. Prob
ably the best agricultural implement
he had was an Oliver plow which turn
one furrow at a time twelve inches
wide. One man held the handles and
another drove the oxen. A tooth
drag that one team could draw was
the harrow that broke the lun.pj of
soil and put the land in condition
where the seed would grow. Then
the sower went forth to sow. A bag
of grain was strapped across is shoul
der, and in and out went the hand of
the farmer. And the harvest?
Cradles were swung by strong men
who kept Btep and time with the
swish, swish of the grain as they
deftly dropped it into the wide swath.
They were followed by others, skilled
in binding up armfuls of grain. There
were picked up and shocked together,
neads up, to dry lor the threshing-
floor, then it was that the cattle
were driven on or the men beat the
grain out with flails.
But today The mowers as they go,
through the tall grass, a white-sleeved
row," are replaced by the merry clat
ter of the mowing machines. And
"Maud Muller who on a summer day
raked the fields of new mown hay,"
has given way to the hayloader which
loads the hay into the wagons. At
the barn a hay-fork, with the assist
ance of a horse at the end of a rnpe,
takes up an eighth of a load at once.
Iwenty-hve acres of hay
tons are cut and housed
1
days by four men, eight horses nd
machinery. When you go into (the
next hardware and Implement store
and look at the machinery, think' of
how man s brain has multiplied man s
power. Inventions have lenghtefied
his arms so that he is almost ornni
potent. These things have made him
almost omnipresent qualities once
ascribed only to the Creator of the
Universe.

it is considered that Canada has a pop

the Borden doctrine Canada represents

for anti-Canadian riots in New York.
