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.

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.

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.

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... .
