PROFITEER, PROFITEER;
L WHO'S GOT THE PROFIT?
Despite the war situation and
the impending Liberty Loan drive
politics in Oregon are beginning
to bubble and boil. . Chief inter
est centers in the Governorship
and Senatorial fight. With five
avo wed candidates and two more
about ready to get into the scrap,
the governorship offers sufficient
variety to suit all tastes. How
ever, general opinion seems to be
that the fight is between Withy
combe and Olcott.
In the senatorial race the fight
is between Stanfield and McNary
with the betting getting pretty
close on account of the populari
ty of Stanfield and the fact that
he is the only candidate for sen
ator who is not a lawyer. Eighty
per cent of the National Con
gress are lawyers ;e very member
of the Oregon delegation inWash
ington is a lawyer and every can
didate for the nomination is a
lawyer excepting Stanfield. The
further fact that the administra
tion is calling for the services of
practical business men is another
argument in Stanfield's favor.for
he is acknowledged to be one of
the biggest, brainiest business
men of the state and almost sure
to be a winner.
For some time it looked like
wool was going to be the issue in
the Senatorial campaign, but
when it was shown beyond ques
tion that the wool grower receiv
ed only from 40 to 65 cents a
pound for his wool, and the con
sumers and knitters have to pay
from 4.50 to $7 a pound for
yarn, the charge of profiteering
on the part of the wool growers
fell flat. This put it up to man
ufacturers and State Treasurer
Kay rushed into print to show
that the manufacturers were not
profiteering. Who is the profit
eer hasn't been decided as the
question is still being persistently
discussed in Portland papers, but
they all agree that the wool grow
er is the under dog because while
expenses have gone up by leaps
and bounds, the price remains
stationary and he cannot sell his
wool on account of the lack of
transportation. He is being grad
ually squeezed to the wall.
Hats Off to Liberty School
Liberty school district, out in
the Eightmile country, is perhaps
entitled to the blues ribbon in
backing up tbe lied Cross with
the real sinews of war. There
are nnt many people in that dis
trict but they all mean business
it comes to winning tbe war'and
they do not propose to try to do
it by talk.
At a basket social out thete
last Saturday evening the sum
of (200 wus reulized from the
sule of buckets, and the amount
was Kent into town Sunday and
turned over to the I!ed Cross.
'Walter Gay was the auctioneer
of the evening and lie seem to
have been some salesman.
A live auxiliary to the Morrow
County Chapter has been orvan
i.ed in that district and much
work has been and is being done
for the llvd Crux Mrs. Cbas.

Kilkenny Backs Stanfield
The following letter from John
Kilkenny, Morrow county's well
known sheepman.which was pub-
ished in the latest issue of the
Oregon Voter speaks for itself.
It may be added, however, that
Eastern Oregon is full of Stan
field men of the same calibre as
Mr. Kilkenny men who will
back their judgment, their polit
ical preference, their business in
terests and their personal friend
ships with good, hard cash:

as second-class matter
At a meeting of the committees
having in charge the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign in Morrow
county, held at lone last Sunday
afternoon, it was decided to se
cure a speaker from Portland
who will be accompanied by a
soldier who has seen service in
the trenches in France, and with
them to make a thorough cam
paign of the county commencing
Saturday evening, April 6th, and
ending Sunday evening, April 14.
Several cars, loaded with repre
sentatives citizens of the differ
ent towns and communities of the
county, will accompany the speak
ers on this trip. The schedule as
arranged for at Sunday's meet
ing follows:
lone Saturday Evening, April 6,
at 8.
Eightmile Sunday afternoon at
2:30.
Dry fork Sunday evening at 8.
CecilMonday evening at 8
Pine City Tuesday evening at 8.
Lena Wednesday evening at 8.
Lexington Thursday evening
at 8.
Heppner-Saturday evening at8.
Hardman S u n d a y afternoon
at 3.
The committee in charge of
this campaign earnestly urge up
on every citizen of the county the
importance of attending these
meetings and to urge all of their
friends and neighbors to attend.
It is necessary that every citizen
who is financially able to do so
shall get behind this campaign.
Morrow county has given a good
account of herself in all previous
campaigns connected with war
activities and she must not fall
down this time. One hundred
thousand American hoys are now
on the battle line in France doing
their part in the most stupendous
conflict in history, and those at
home must get squarely behind
them, in the way of finance and
the conservation of food. In no
other way can they win.

CHILDREN PLEASE o
Perhaps the most unique and
enjoyable. Faster program ever
given in Heppner was that given
at All Saints Episcopal church
last Sunday evening by the mem
bers of the Sunday school. The
idea carried out in costumes and
selections was that of a flower
garden, every child in the school
being dressed to represent some
particular (lower. Aud flowers
they all were sweet and win
some buds and blossoms bring,
ing with them the promise of
Spring and the joyous message
of Easter.
The exercises opened with the
Processional, "Hallelujah, Chrut
is Risen," by the entire school,
which was followed by a short
verse from each member relat
ing to the flower represented.
Then followed: Song, Hark to
the Robins," by the Flower Gar
den, Mary Clark accompanist;
recitation, "Welcome the Sav
iour," Willetta Harratt; solo,
"What Would You Have Done?"
Lovell Lucas; song, "Swing, Lily
Bells," by the Pollyannas; exer
cise, "Jesus Lives," Flower Gar
den; chorus. "The Voice of Many
Natious;" a flag song by the
Flower Garden; solo,' ThePalms,"
Josephine Woolery; song, "Jesus
Wants Me for a Sunbeam." Mar
jorie Clark, Mild red Bosely.Mary
Patterson, accompanist, Esther
Neal; recitation, "Thru Death to
Life," Mary VanVaetor; vocal
solo. "Under the Snow," Dorothy
Pattison, song, "Jesus Loves
Me," by the school; the program
closing with uu address by Rev.
Ur Geo. P. Van Waters.
Perhaps the most cunuing fea
ture of the evening was the in
fant class, a beautiful bevy of
little lads aud lassies who consti
tuted a veritable Mower garden
on the steps leading to the pint,
form and whuro they wero the
"observed of all observers," and
Paby Lucas, a tiny toddler who
forsook his daddy for the bright
lights and refused to bo omitted
from tho program.
The ladies of thu church, who
planned and carried out tin) af
fair, are entitled to much credit
for their share in tho success,
and to Miss Muriel Cason. who
tunned the youngsters in their
parts is due not. only high praise
for work well done but also the
tluuiks of all puicuu for the ex
cellent training their progi ny r
ceivecl at. her hands, iii tiiinging
nut ami developing t he latent, tul.
enlsof these bright joung minds.
