Herald Will Soon Come Home.
A temporary building has been
erected by the Herald on May street
opposite the paper's location before
the fire and the new plant will be
installed there within a week or so
and publication of the paper will be
resumed on its own plant in Hepp
ner The Herald has been operated
under many difficulties since the fire
and the publisher is aware that the
service has been very poor. The new
plant, however, will be much more
complete in every detail than the
old one and tho publisher expects to
be able to render a very much better
service than ever before. A com
plete news service from all sections
of the county wlH be the aim of the ,
publisher and every effort will bo
made to make of the Herald a real
medium of local news of the entire
county.
A considerable number of unpaid
subscription accounts are still stand
Ins on our books and as we need
every dollar duo us at this time to
assist in nuinliiiK the heavy expenses
incident to installing the new plant
and In resuming business we respect
fully request settlement of these
accounts.

FARM OH FOILS
ENEMIES AT HOME
MAKES FOOD SURE
Bumper Crops Stiffen Allied Line,
Morale Country Districts
First in Liberty Loan
Only the farmers, know the ex
treme difficulties which hampered the
production for the allies this year
of the bumper crops necessary to
feed the troops battling at the Euro
pean fronts and the civilians working
for them behind the lines.
The public has heard few reports
of the widespread sabotage which
has worked for the benefit of the
Hun, whether practiced in the name
of German propaganda or I. V. W.
"education". But enough was re
vealed at the trial of tne I. W. W.'s
in Chicago to show that few regions
have been free from destructive
agents who made frequent use of
scores of ingenious arson and dyna
mite devices to destroy standing crops
and stored grains.
What everybody does know is that
4 i farmer made good, and with the
L.j;iservation through the Food Ad
::iiiJ!jtration's supervision, kept the
Johnny Yank in Prance, the French
i'oilu and British Tommy with un
limited supplies of good wheat flour.
YANKEE WHEAT
FEEDS ALL ALLIES
On top of this the farmer set tho
pace for fie rest of America with his
subscriptions to war funds
It was
the agricultural districts that first re
ported their quotas oversubscribed
in the Third Liberty Loan.
Doubtless it will be the farmers
who first report "Over The Top" in
the Fourth Liberty Loan, in spite of
the fact that the loan will be twice
the size of any previous.
This sounds easy, from superficial
consideration, since the Third Loan
came at a time when the farmer
needed his money to put in and har
vest his slimmer crops, and was with
out receipts since last summer and
fall, and had been called upon in
the Second Loan as well.
Hut it would not be a simple mat
ter, even if tho Fourth Loan were not
larger than the Third, because the
government is calling for Increased
acreage on all crops, and especially
on wheat, the great WeBtern staple,
to provide) for the army of five mil
lion American troops with which it is
expected to crush the Hun utterly
next year.
BIG ARMY NEEDS
GREAT CROPS
For winter wheat alone, it is pro
posed to Increase the area by 45,-
UOO.UOO acres. These figures provide
for a minimum of 513,000 acres of
winter wheat in California, 690,000 in
Oregon, 754,000 in Washington, 37",
000 ill Idaho, 250,000 in Utah, 46.000
in Arizona, and 5,000 in Nevada. This
is an increase of eighty per cent
over 1917 acreages for Washington,
but very much smaller increases for
the other states of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve district.
In presenting these figures, the De
partment of Agriculture points out
that it is absolutely necessary that
tremendous wheat crop be brought
In next year to renew somewhat the
reserve supplies, accumulated from
the record crops of 1112-1115, and de
pleted through the dependence of all
the allies on us.
There is no doubt in anybody's mlnJ
that the American farmer will re
spond Instantly and effectively to any
situation pieseiitcd to ti i ui. as this
one. by the government.
There Is no doubt that the native
wit and courage of the American
farmer will unit natural ami criminal
enemies to lus letory crop success
as his sous are outwitting ami out
fighting the Hun from the Yosges
to I'icardy.

In spite of a subnormal food supply
In this country the American people
have been able to ship to the Allies
as well as our own forces overseas
141,000,000 bushels of wheat, besides
844,600,000 pounds of meat, during the
year ending June 30 last This has
been made possible by the whole
souled co-operation of the people,
who, besides practicing self-dental,
have speeded up production and re
sponded nobly to the appeal from
abroad.
Food Administrator Hoover, In a
letter to President Wilson, gives a
brief summary of the results of food
conservation in the United States and
of the activities of the Food Admin-
lstratlon to this end. The conserva-
tlon measures nave been put tnrougn
practically on a voluntary basis which
Is regarded as a splendid tribute to
the patriotism of the American people.
Meat shipments were increased 844,
000,000 pounds during the first fiscal
year, as compared with our meat ex
ports during the year before America
entered the war.
"The total value of these food ship
ments," Mr. Hoover wrote President
Wilson, "which were in the main pur
chased through or with collaboration
of the Food Administration, amount
to, roundly, $1,400,000,000 duriug tho
fiscal year."
In 1916-17 the United States sent
the Allies 2,100,500,000 pounds of
meat In 1917-18, with voluntary con
servation practiced In America, and
aided by extra weight of animals, we
sent the Allies 2,011,100,000 pounds of
meat, an Increase of 844,600,000
pounds.
Wheat Saving Enormous.
When the Food Administration bo
gan operations In the summer of 1917,
this country was facing a large deficit
In wheat Counting In all carry-over
wheat from the 1016 crop, we had at
the beginning of the 1917 harvest year
Just enough wheat to take care of
America's normal consumption, not a
bushel of surplus.
At the close of the 1917-18 harvest
year the Food Administration's olllctal
reports showed that our total wheat
shipments to the other side had been
141,000,000 bushels. Every bushel
shipped was wheat saved by the
American people from their normal
consumption.
In cereals and cereal products re
duced to terms of cereal bushels our
shipments to Allied destinations were
KJO.Stm.ooo bushel. WI.'.xhi.ikki bushels
more than the amount sent In 1916 17.
Included In these figure are l.l.'.HMt,.
is sl bushels of rye ami the MUxxi.tsx)
bushels of saved wheat. In addition
we sent the neutrals dependent on ti
I0,i m, iii m bushels of prime breadstuff,
"These figure do not fully cotixcy
the volume of the effort and saerlnVt
liiade during the past year by tho
whole American people," the Food Ad
ministrator wrote. "I am sure that

SAYS RISK IS EXAGGERATED
Official of Explosive Factory Denies
That Occupation Is oa Danger
ous as Is Generally Believed.
In a paper read before a medical
association in the east, Dr. V. O. Hud
son, medical director of E. I. DuPont
de Nemours & Co., manufacturers of
explosives, recently made some in
teresting statements concerning the
risks connected with the manufacture
of powerful explosives. He asserted
that the dangers of that industry were
greatly exaggerated. As a mutter of
fact, railroading shows much higher
injury and death rates than the manu
facture of explosives. Of the acci
dents which occur in explosive fac
tories only a small percentage are ac
tually caused by explosives. Four
fifths of the accidents are due to care
lessness or negligence of employees
who disregard the precautions neces
sary wherever men are worldpg with
tools and machinery. By increasing
the share of work done by machinery
and reducing the number of wor'-ers
In proportion to the increased use of
mechanical appliances, the manufac
turers of explosives are striving to
diminish the hazards connected with
their business, says Popular Science
Monthly.
Barge Whistle Calls Birds.
A striking exumplo of wildbird In
telligence has been observed on the
Panama canal in connection with the
underwater blasting that is carried on
there. A barge has been especially
equipped for drilling blast holes below
the wnter and depositing charges in
them. When a blast is ready the craft
moves off to a safe distance, and he
fore setting off the dynamite the barge
whistle Is blown several times to warn
all vessels in the vicinity. Instantly
numbers of wild birds may be seen
coming trom all directions, snys Popu
lar Mechanics Magazine, the reason
being they have learned that in.uiy
dead and stunned fish rise to the sur
face of the water following each ex
plosion. To them this particular
whistle is like a dinner Ron;;. More
remarkable still, they readily distin
guish between this whistle and others.

Don't Get Tired So Easy.
In American Magazine an author
says :
"The thing that makes the 'tired
business man' tired is his belief that
lie is tired. Believe the contrary.
There have been times whi n you work
ed ull day tind all night on a stretch.
It did not kill you.
"Work itself, as the modern busi
ness world is organized, cannot pos
sibly 'tire out' the man of avernge nor
mal health. If it could, Edison would
have been deud at the age of thirty
five, Bell would never have produced
the telephone. Henry Ford would not
be now a king of the automobile busi
ness, Herbert C. Hoover would not be
controlling and directing the nation's
food supply today, Woodrow Wilson
would be in a sunltnrium, and Gen
eral Pershing would be taking a 'rest
cure' instead of commanding Ameri
can soldiers in Franco."
Effect of French Language.
A writer In Scrlbner's Magazine
peculates ut some length on tho ef
fect the French language will hnve on
our own when the soldiers come bark.
He snys: "One of the most prolific
sources of new words In a lungunge Is
an attempt lo iisitni new Ideas. Amer
ican soldier in Franco will absorb
inu.iy new Ideas from their contact
with the French and British; there
will be many new similes of meanings
for Ideas denoted by old words. .To
express these the men will Inevltiihl J
adopt French word or use FnUsU
word with a new shade of inclining.
I have not yet Collected any examples
of this; but It must take place, and
one who watches the literature that
follow the war will see many rxiim-
ples. If tiny lire not observed before."
Practlco Handwriting.
For years business people have de
pended on the typewriting machine
for their letters, and have neglected
their handwriting. The dearth of ma
chines I now bring generally felt, es
pecially In commercial houses, and
once more It has become necenry to
be aide to write clearly mid legibly.
For the first time the other day the
Ii I of a big business firm took the
trouble to get specimens of the hand
writing of his stuff of fenmle clerk.
