May iK the Lone Star ranch, was called to her home in Cawker, Kansas, where her mother is lying dangerously ill, on Thursday.

Dave Hynd and Miss Annie Hynd of Rose Lawn, Sand Hollow, arrived in Cecil on Sunday from Walla Walla (From lone Independent.) Wounded Fighter Here George Wells, who left lone 18 months ago to join the Cana dian army, is hei '-. for a few days visiting friends. , Mr. Wells wen - to France with March, lost no time getting int the thick of things. The H ins seemed to have a special "r ick" on George, for after shooting at him for Heppner is still about the best lit tle town on earth and the only pos sible fault anyone can find with the town is that things are not distribu ted quite right. Sometimes, in the winter season, when the mercury goes browsing around the zero mark we don't have quite fire enough. Sometimes, in mid-summer when it goes to 100 in the shade we have too much fire. Sometimes, when it does n't rain for awhile we don't have wa ter enoughter enough and the war gardens suffer. Sometimes, when it rains, we have a bit too much water and they go down the creek to en rich some alfalfa farm or Columbia river sand bar. Tuesday's rain storm was mighty welcome tot he farmer with a big acreage of spring wheat but several Heppner people would have been per fectly satisfied with a little smaller dose of what all will agree is a good thing in proper quantities. The little canyon coming down by the power plant was on something of A number of cellars were flooded and some chickens were killed; we mean the two legged kind that wear feathers, that is well, the kind that are served in cabarets on platters, not the kind that go to such places on high-heeled shoes. Another good thing that developed was hat macadam pavement will not wash out and that's worth something. Some damage was done to alfalfa farms below town but taken altogeth er the town and county has nothing in particular to kick about; the rain did a lot more good than it did harm. The Herald, however, being notorious as a kicker and a grouch can't re fralnfrom doing its duty by rising to remark that if that rain had come at about four o'clock on the after noon of July 4th it might have done about $200,000 worth more good than it did, for we would like to see the color of any fire's hair that that rain would not have put out. a rampage for awhile and Dusted up a few bridges and made several gar dens look sick and many lawns were ubundnntly fertilized with a line de posit of silt.

Cecil comes to the front again in the raising of funds for the Red Cross. Mrs. Jennie Lowe, postmis tress of this place knit a pair of red, white and blue socks which she do nated to the lone Red Cross chapter to be disposed of on the Fourth. The ladles of the Red Cross sold tickets on the socks, realizing from this source'$49.50. Mr. Reltmann of lone drew the socks and then turned them over to the ladies again to be sold. Jack Hynd, of Cecil, bought them for $8, turned them In again when they were sold to F. N. Christe.nson of lone at $6 and then to A. Henriksen of Cecil, who paid $8, and passed them up for further sale, C. W. Mc Namer getting the socks for $5. He has handed them over to the Red Cross for further dipoition and the total gum so far realized from this pair of patriotic socks is 76. 5i. Just how much more the ladies will be able to realize will be settled when they have placed the socks on sale again. unfit for further military service. It makes Wells pretty sore to be sent back that way after all the trouble he had taken to get used to being shot up, but the military authorities seem to be afraid that he may have so much lead and scrap iron sticking around inside of him that he might mire in the mud or fall in some river and sink. Seriously, however, he wants to go back and be in at the fin ish, if he can scheme some way to get there.
