VOLUME 4.
HEPPNER, OREGON, FRIDAY, MARCH 15. 1918.
NUMBER 45
Heppner
Farmers representing every
district of Morrow county met
at Heppner Saturday, March 9,
and formed the Morrow County
Agricultural Council. The urgent
need of mobollzing the farmers
to meet the problems brought
on by the war was explained by
Paul V. Maris, State Leader of
County Agents, after which R.
W. Turner was elected president
and C. E. Jones secretary treas
urer of the new organization.
A discussion of the croping
methods of the county brought
out the fact that some co-opera
tive demonstrations showing the
best methods for controlling
weeds were very necessary.
In carrying outplans for stand
ardizing the varieties of jgrain
for the county, the need of col
lecting data showing the relative
yields of the different varieties
was brought out. There is a
great difference in tin rate of
seeding and the discussion
brought out the desirability of
having some comparative de
monstrations to show the results
of seeding different amounts of
grain under the same conditions.
The importance of a simple
form of farm records has been
emphasized by the income tax
law and many farmers are plan
ning to take advantage of the op
portunity to obtain such a book
by co-operating with the Exten
tion Division and the County
Agent in keeping a yearly record.
A discussipn of the labor ques
tion brought out many good sug
gestions and a plan was formu
lated whereby farmers and their
help may know more definitely
what wages are being paid thru
this part of the state.
Bishop Paddock Speaks
Bishop Paddock, who spent a
few days in Heppner during the
week, delivered an interesting
address in the Episcopal church
Tuesday evening on Camp Lewis
and tha soldier boys id training
there. 1 he Bishop spent sever
al weeks at the big training camp
recently observing methods and
studying conditions there, and
he has a fund of valuable inform
ation for the people, lie spoke

An Editorial by E. W, Wilson
V.-P. Anglo & London Paris National Bank.
It takes men and money to win
a war. Bankers are the direct
agents of the government. When
their duty has been been pre
scribed and they have been called
upon they have responded nobly
even at a sacrifice.
A situation now arises which
calls for the support of every
bank, that business may proceed
on the even tenor of its way
while the nation undertakes the
gigantic task of financing the war.
The Secretary of the Treasury
asks that every bank purchase
the Treasury Certificates in ad
vance of the Liberty Loan so that
the shock incidental to the trans
fer of immense sums may be ab
sorbed. To do this effectively a
bank should set aside 1 per cent
of its resources each week over a
period and with these sums pur
chase these certificates. These
"homeopathic doses" will not in
terfere with the ordinary conduct
of the bank.
When the Liberty Loan Bonds
are issued to purchasers through
the bank as an agent, the bonds
are exchanged for the certificates.
It is a simple process of making
installment payments on the Lib
erty Loan Bonds in advance.
Suppose all business in a city
ceased at a certain hour, and all
the clerks, salespeople, artisans,
merchants and late shoppers were
to attempt to board the street
cars in a period of ten minutes.
Think of the confusion, the tur
moil and inconvenience! The
traction companies could not be
expected to have equipment and
men for such a "peak load."
Excessive capital invested in ad
equate rolling stock and power
would be idle during twenty-three
out of every twenty-four hours.
Here, indeed, would be an econo
mic waste. There would be in
convenience to the public, losses
instead of dividends to the trac
tion companies, and stagnation
in the growth of the population
in that city. But the hours for
the cessation of business are dis
tributed over a period, and al
though thousands go from busi
ness to homes each night they
are handled with comparative
ease and comfort.

Editor Herald:
It is to be regretted that so
few. and particularly wives and
mothers, were fortunate enough
to hear Rev. Noyes lust Sunday
evening on the subject of com
mercialized amusements, when
speaking for the' welfare of Iho
young people of Heppner. Suit,
able playgrounds and a swim
ming pool were two things Unit
he thought were present possi
bilities. To one listener at least, the
subject suggested a train of
thought. Why not? They do
these things in other places.

A Practical Sermon
At the Federated church last
Suuday evening the pastor spoke
on "Commercialized A m u s e -ments"
and in the course of his
remarks made one or two sug
gestion which might be profita
bly adopted by the commu
nity. He advocated the plan,
now being widely used in towns
and cities, of having the city
provide proper amusement facil
ities for children and youth.
One suggestion for Heppner
was a public playground, located
centrally, foJ the use of younger
children where they could be left
in care of some competent per
son who would act as director of
games and educative play. This
is a modern idea which is rapidly
coming into use aud is worthy cf
consideration.
Another practical suggestion
was the construction of a swim
ming tank which might be an im
provement over tne "ol- svvim
min' hole" from a sanitary stand
point. A tank or pool, less ex
tensive than a natatoriuin could
be built at a comparatively small
expense, could be open on certain
days of the week for ladies and
could be maintained at no great
outlay of money.
Volunteer dinc'ois are often
secured to make these play-place
facilities a success. Such insti
tutions add much lo the pleas
ure and public interest of a com
munity and are practical appli
cations of Chriotiuuity.
