NUMBER 46 HERALD IN MAGAZINE STORY A recent interesting article in the Saturday Evening Post by Irvin S- Cobb, "When the Sea Asp Stings," tells of the sinking of the Tuscania and the narrow escape of the big ship upon which Cobb was a passenger.which was steaming about 200 yards in ad vance of the Tuscania when that vessel was hit. In fact, accord ing to Mr. Cobb's story, the tor pedo which sunk the Tuscania was aimed at his boat but by quick action on the part of the , captain, who was on the bridge and saw the projectile coming through the wate, the big ship was swerved from its course just enough that the torpedo barely grazed her plates and struck the Tuscania in the bow. Cobb de scribes the sound of the torpedo grazing the plates as like that made by a boy raking a picket fence with a stic. Describing the sinking of the Tuscania in the gathering gloom, as witnessed from the deck of his ship, Mr. Cobb continues: "There was silence among us as we watched. None of us, I take it, had words within him to express what he felt; so we said nothing at all but just stared out across the water until our eye balls ached in their sockets. So quiet ware we that 1 jumped 'announced when right at. my elbow a low. steady voice spoke. Turning my head I could make out that the speaker was one of the younger American officers. "If what I heard before we sailed was true, ' ' he said, "my brother is in the outfit on that boat yonder. Well, if they get him it will only add a little more interest to the debt I already owe those damned Ger mans." The young American officer re ferred to was Lieut- John Dunn, a former Condon boy and son of Judge and Mrs. Edward Dunn, now residents of Portland, and the brother referred to was Edward Dunn, jr., 16 years old, who is said to be the youngest wireless operator in the service of the United States. A letter received from Mrs. Dunn by a Heppner friend tells of the incident, she having learn ed of it in a letter just received from her son. Lieutenant Dunn. Young Edward, it appears, had been slated for service on the Tuscania, but on the eve of sail ing he received orders transfer ing him to the sending station at Fort Leaven wortn, Kan. If Ton See a Gold Brick, Duck It! By MOSS. Permit us to call your attention today to the man behind the ad. He is important. The cleverest ad., the most striking ad., the most appealing ad., is economically unsound if the man or the company or the corporation back of the ad. is an unknown quantity. Don't be fooled by alluring buncombe. Don't fall for cunningly worded statements calcu lated to palm off a gold brick on you. Advertising in thii reputable newspaper car ries with it the warrant of crnuineness. You know the people back of the ads. Political Pointers T. J. Humphreys, present in cumbent of the treasurer's of fice, announces his candidacy for re lection. He is a capable offi cial, and so far we have heard of of oo opposition to his re-nomination. Jake Wells, Morrow county's efficient assessor has announced his candidacy for the nomination to succeed himself in that office. Mr. Wells has made an obliging and painstakiug official and will make a strong candidate for re election. J. A. Waters, present County Clerk, who is a candidate for re nomination, is so busy county clerking and exemption boardiDg around that he has no time to spend campaigning for re elec tion. "He should worry," how ever. George Bleakman, of Hard- man, is so far the only aspirant for the Republican nomination for County Commissioner. Mr. Bleakman is an old resident of the county, a good business man and with many friends in the county. He will doubtless make a good showing when the time comes. The ouly office for which, so far, two aspirants have appeared is that of sheriff. Willard Her ri n jfud E M. Shutt have both lor the fJei'tiblicdii j uouiiuatioti, and both gentlemen seem to be smilingly sitting up and taking their Hooverized nour ishment as though they didn't have a thing in the world to wor ry about. C. E. Woodson announces this week that he has consented to become a candidate for the Re publican nomination, as Joint Representative for Morrow and Umatilla counties. Mr. Woodson is a first-rate citizen, a conserva tive, level-headed business man and is conversant with the needs or toe district, lie will make a strong candidate for the posi tion. VV. T, Campbell announces Lis candidacy for the Republican nomination for County Judge in this issue of the Herald and will oo doubtmake a good showiug in the primaries as well as at the regular election. Mr. Campbell served the county as com m is sioner. several years ago and in that position made a good record. t is understood that Judge Pat- terbon, who has held the position of County judge for a number of years with general satisfaction i; Notice to Customers These are indeed trying times, not only for our Na tion, but for each individual as well. We are repeatedly called on to show our loyalty in many and various ways. The most serious problems now confront us as a nation and as individuals as a result of our entrance in to tbe greatest world conflict in history. These problems must be patriotically met and solved with a view to as little disarrangment of conditions as possible, In the stress of the existing circumstances the Grocers and Merchants are facing grave problems of their own. The recommendations of the Emergency Board of the Council of National Defense advise that all stores should prepare to operate with smaller forces and less equipment, and that delivery expenses be cur tailed as much as possible. The F'ood Administration ad'vises that they have under contemplation the licens ing of approximately two-thirds of the items usually handled by the grocer, that the sale price to the con sumer will necessarily be restiicted to a small margin of profit. The cost of merchandise has advanced to such an exteDt that it now takes over 100 per cent more money to carry the same stock than it did in pre-war times. The wholesalers, however willing, are unable to furnish goods for an indefinite time and have made their terms 15 to 30 days, instead of 30 to 90 days, as before. In view of the facts above mentioned, it be comes necessary for us to adjust our terms to our cus tomers to conform with the changed conditions. It has. consequently, been unanimously resolved, That on and after April 1st. 1918, we will continue to extend a limited credit to those who have formerly been accorded this privilege iu the nast, but will positively be. limited to ill' tl,iy. Till:- IIKHII.i Ill-It til" lull-., foi the pieeeedini; tin ititli a I e 'I ii" and pay a ble mi the nist ot the following month. You will also be allowed 10 days grace in which to settle in full, after which tbe amount will became delinquent, and positively no further credit can be extended. In order that each one may be treat ed with perfect fairness this rule will be strictly ad hered to regardless of whom it may concern. Also, beginning with the same date, the DELIVERY of merchandise will be reduced to t.wo (2) deliveries per day; ene each in the morning and afternoon. I'lease bear these new rules in mind and make your arrangements accord i ugly, as we positively cannot de viate from them in any respect. Thanking you for your highly appreciated favors of the past, and by fair and square tieatment in thefuture, still to metit a share at h asl of your business, and promising that this new arrangement will help us that we may help you iu ; educing the present high cost of living as much as possible,, we beg to remain. Sincerely yours, Minor & Co. Thomson Bros. Sam Hughes Co. Phelps Grocery Co. Woodson for Joint Representative To the People of Umatida and Morrow Counties: The only representation Mor row county has in the state leg islature is that of joint regresen tative with Umatilla county. For the past three sessions such rep resentative has been a Umatilla county man. Out of a spirit of fairness the Republicans of Uma tilla this year seem to concede the naming of a Republican can didate to Morrow county. Under the circumstances and at the solicitation of many people of my county I offer myself as Re publican candidate for joint rep resentative for Morrow and Uma tilla counties at the coming pri mary election. By profession I am a lawyer. I have lived in Oregon nearly all of the 45 years of my life and in Morrow county for the past 15 years. My small accumulations have been gathered in Eastern Oregon and my interests are here. If nominated and elected as your representative, my first con cern in general shall be such leg islation as shall secure the most hearty and ellicient co-operation of our state with the National government in the winning of the present war and in paving the way for a speedy and sound re reconstruction after its close. Locally 1 shall favor every h'gis l.itiv e i tlm t lor t he betterment of the people ol my district con sistent with the paramount duty of bringing victory to our armies. Sincerely, . C. E. Woodson... . Judge Phelps was in Heppner for a couple ef days the first of the week going over the docket and getting things in shape for the coming regular term of cir cuit court. Tuesday was naturalization day and Charles Henry Luckman, of Lena, a subject of England, was admitted to full citizanship. The coming spring term of circuit court promises to be the longest neld here for a number of years. An important damage case has been transferred from Grant county for trial and it is expect ed it alone will take up at least two weeks lime. The case is one in which James T. Johnson is bringing suit against, Ben Colvin for an amount exceeding fcUO.000 and it is expected the case will be vigorously ought on both sides. It is understood there may be a number of local cases tried out during the term also. Will Serve His Country V. E.
