TWO MORE BANCES
At an adjourned meeting of the
county court held Friday, it was de
cided to order a Schmeiser Giant
Land Leveler to be used in road
wortc In the county. The machine
is built something after the style of
a Fresno scraper but is much larger.
It is to be operated by a 7 5-horse
power catapillar tractor already
owned by the county and is to be
sent on approval after six days trial.
' The machine is 12 feet wide and
will handle almost five cubic yards
earth at once. It can be success-
lly operated by two men andwlll
'(lo the same work as nine ordinary
Fresnos whidh would require the
services of nine men and 36 horses.
Judge Campbell went up to Salem
from Portland last week to see one
of these machines in operation and
he is convinced that It will save the
county much money in road making.
At Salem, the Judge says,, he saw
earth being moved 880 feet at a
cost of 13 1-3 cents per yard while

expected to give the boys

"If ye break faith with us who die'
We shall not sleep."
ON the Flanders' Fields in France lie thousands of
American soldier boys who died that the world might
be made "safe for Democracy." Are wTe going to keep
taith with those boys those heroes who considered no
sacrifice too great to make? Are we going to let the
world say that those boys died in vain that their blood
winch stains the sou of France was a useless waste? Then
let us finish the task for which they gave up all. Let us
;;ep faith with those boys that we may indeed know thev
;hall sleep.
i-terday opened the campaign for the Fifth Lib
erty Loan the Victory Loan and Morrow County will
be called upon to raise $221,175.00. , this quota while
not as large as the last loan will fall heavily' upon
county and it will require a most determined effort
upon the part of the committee to put it over. Yet it
must be done. Morrow County has always went over
local boys lose game to the top with flying colors and there must be no break in
this time honored custom. Our quota must be met
just as quickly as in any drive in the past.
The need is uist as urgent there is mst as much
yet to be done. For so long as there is a doughboy in
Furope or a war obligation in America our debt to those

County Judge W. T.' Campbell re
turned Thursday evening form Port
land where he attended a meeting of
the State Highway Commlaslon and
succeeded In having the Heppner-
Hardman road from Heppner to the
Grant county line recognized oa a
road to be Improved nnder the pro
vision of the road bonding act and
placed on the waiting list for a sur
vey aa Boon aa a competent engineer
la available to do the work.
While f.ie policy of the rotrutil-
lon la to refuse recognition of auch
road for improvement until the
county'a part of the money Is act
ually available, Judge Campbell put
up bo Btrong an argument to the
commission for an early survey that
the point wbb wavled and the survey
was agreed upon as soon aa an en
gineer ran be secured.
Judge Campbell pointed out to
the ronitiilmlon that Morrow county
Is not ajiklng for money from the
romtriiraion at thin time but I only
anklng that a permanent aurvey be
made that will conform to the re
quirement of the commission In Che
matter of location and grade o
that any money expended by the
county court cm the road will not be
wasted. He pointed out that an ex
pennlve grade built by the county re
cently on the hill leading to Hepp
ner flat will be lost when the road Is
permanently Improved because It
slightly exceeds the required five por
cent. He also called the attention
of the commission to the fact that
for many years a mnll route waa
operated between Heppner and Mon
ument but that a few years ago the
road became o nearly Impassable
that the mall contractor went broke
and other contractors refused to
bid on the route at figures the gov
ernment would consider and the
route was abandoned. When the old
route was operated mall from Hepp
ner rwached Monument In one day;
now It requires five days. This ar
gument. Judge Campbell says, won
tire day and the survey waa agreed
to.
Judne Cainp?n-i) is of the opinion
n.ial the Highway Commission Itt
dlHpoed to be absolutely fair and
Impurtlal with the counties but they
have certain hard and fast rule that
mut be compiled with. Chief of
thene I that every county seeking
ro-operatlon from the state muM
nave the money to match wltth the
atate money dollar for dollar.
Other rule relate to grade, lo
cation and coDRtrurtlnn. The busi
ness or tne Btate roitunlnslon IB to
build prmuuwnt road and It w
absolutely consider no other kind.
By Robert K. Smith, Executive Man
ager, Oregon Victory Loan.
The world war through which we
have so recently passed is the great
est event In the world's history
since the beginning of the Christian
era. Tho part which Oregon has
played In this world war will be re
membered long after we and our
children ore dead. Our heritage of
thi war will be our record of pa
triotic achievement, and this record
will be made in two ways: It will
be a record of our boys who were In
the service, and the record of those
of ua who stayed at home and tried
to do our part by supporting our
Government and the boys.
Oregon's military record stands
head and shoulders above that of
any other state. Oregon was first
In the enlistment and liad a larger
percentage of Its population under
arms than any other state i the
Union. The records of the old
Third Oregon, the Coast Artillery
and the 91st Division are records
which will never die and which ev
ery Oregon citizen may well be
proud. The record of Lieutenant
Burgard who was five times wound
ed and who led 250 Oregon boys-
over the top, of which 218 were left
upon the battlefield after an hour
and twenty minutes of fighting is
only one of a number of Instances of
valor by Oregon men which will nev
er be forgotten. Lieutenant Dorrls
made his way to brigade headquart
era after having his lower Jaw shot
away in order that another officer
might be detailed to his company
all of the other officers Tiavlng been
killed. Although he was decorated
with the croix de guerre for thin act
of heroism, the beat appreciation of
thia act will be found in a never
dying recollection of It by the peo
ple of Oregon. There is no Instance
of record where Oregon troops fal
tered under fire., and the record of
our boys in service Is 100rr perfect
So far the record of Oregon's cit
Izenry In Its patriotic duty lius been
perfect. We have been foremost In
patriotic drives of every kind, having
(wire led the nation in Liberty Loan
campaigns. It Is a distinct privilege
for those of lis who atayed at home
to be permitted to complete the won
dciful record of our bo) by tnuklng
a lfl0', record In our dutlew of elt
Izenshlp. Vet It in a tremendous re
sponsibility, a the people of tb
state would never live ilon the ills
grace of tainting our military record
by failure to lead all other states In
till great patriotic endeavor.
The first day of the Victory bond
drive in Morrow county was quiet.
No canvass of the county has yet
been started and the only sales so
far have been voluntary, made by
persons w'lio called at the banks and
asked tor bonds.
Local conditions in Morrow county
among farmers and stockmen were
not favorable for an earty drive as
all are JuBt now iu tho midst of
their busiest season.
County chairman McCarty and
City chairman McMenamin are work
ing out their plans for completing
Morrow county's quota, however,
find while there has been no dispo
sition to Indulge In pipe dreams at
home or to send out false claims,
as to being "over" no doubt is ex
pressed but that Morrow county will
t&ke care of her quota tn her own
good time.
Every banker and business man In
tha county is behind the committee
hut nobody 1b disposed to get excit
ed. Saving young iambs and gel-
ting in tihe spring crop for the nert
few days will have the right of way.
