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.

dose of what all will agree is a good
thing in proper quantities.

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

Some damage was done to alfalfa

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.

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.
