It ha 1 beau raining hard In the afternoon a cold, steady autumn downpour and there was nothing to suggest the rainbow In the outward aspect of the camp. Lines and lines of sodden canvas housed 17,000 rren, gathered from 27 different tatea. The ground was dotted with Pools snd quagmires. Under the wet canvas it was damp and cold, with a renetratln? chill. Lit by flickering candles, the tents were f ir from cheer ful shelter for a-rnan's last Light in tls native lp?id.

On that last night In America the association was serving the so'.diers In the beat of all ways giving tbem en opportunity to write home. On previous nights they had enjoyed box ing bouts, movies, concerts, dramatics and a score of healthy entertainments sb well as religious meetings. But on this last nlfht home ties were strong est.

World's Best Loved Trademark. j This war baa made us think hard nd fast. Your boy or your neigh bor's boy or some boy you know aad love has been called to do his share in the big Job of policing the wor.d for democracy and human liDerty. Is it any comfort to you to know that wher ever his duty may call him your boy will nave a friend that will serve him In body, mind and soul? Are you glad to know that this friend wi:i place books and magazines at his disposal, organize classes to teach him what ever he wants to learn, give him a pocket testament and invite him to , Join religious meetings of the faith that he was brought up In? Did you realize that the association provides ! athletic equipment for his favorite ' games, teaches him games If he knows i none and holds concerts, lectures, '' movies, Bible classes, dramatic eater i talnments and every kind of whole i tome amusement to keep him Interes'- j ed? Are you glad to know that thij j friend will go with him overseas, halp to shield him from a score of difficult i and dangerous temptations and follow ! him right up to the froat line trench and beyond It? T'ae last contact the I toldier has wJth this life he loves so ! well It a cup of tea given him by the ; Y. M. C. A free Just before he goos "over the top" to a hand to hand strug j gle with the enemy. And as he comes ! tottering back from No i.rn's Land wounded, but atrong enough and plucky enough to keep on bis feet, even before hit wounds are drassed the Y. M. C. A. is waiting for nira with tea and sweet chocolate, the great com forts of the man In the trenches. Do you wonder that the Red Triangle la called "th( best loved trademark in the world?" One sold er in France has called It "the last evidence that any body cares.. If every thinking clt'zen could tee with his or her own eyes soni3thln,'t of the actual work being doni for our men by the association tfc ?re would be no question of the Y. M. C. A. having to appeal to the public for money Rather than let this essential wo-.i falter for t i Instant rich men would ell their motorcsrs, poor men would forego coveted poise;sloni or even ne eestitles. The work mut' go on. bo cause there is no one th n? that ro i tributes so much to the epirlt and ef ficiency of the tro jm- The Y.

PLEASES CITIZENS The action of the State High way ennineercnn definitely locat ing the State Highway on the route which follows Willow creek valley from Heppner to Heppner Junction meets with the approv al of practi jally all Morrow coun ty oeople. This route will serve the needs of manv neonle in thp north enrl of the county by giving: them, when the Columbia Highway a completed, an all-paved route to the county seat and without the added 20 miles travel each way which the selection of the Ar lington route would have entail ed. The route also affords a wat.r level grade from the inte- ior of Morrow county to the Columbia river and the cheap ransportation such a stream, pen to navigation to the sea, tiers. As announced in the Herald last Friday evening, the decision to select the Heppner Junction route was reached on that day. On Monday County Judge Pat terson received a letter from M. O. Bennett, state highway engineer, confirming the Herald statement and ending the Morrow-Gilliam controversy over the question of location. The letter follow: "Have just received the reso lution from your County Court to the effect that the Oregon Washington Highway, west of Heppner should follow down Willow creek from lone to Hepp ner Junction. Am pleased toad vise that, after due consideration of local people, financial outlook for immediate const ruction, char acter ami value of lands travers ed, etc., have instructed Mr. Haldock to make his definite lo cation begintiinging at the coun ty line on Willow creek ami run ning to Heppner.
