The only reason Heppner Hid not
meet her delegation of road boosters
with a silver cornet band when they
returned from Portland the otlier day
is that just now we have no band.
The only reason the city did not eu-
teitain them at an elaborate banquet
at the new Heppner hotel is' that the
hotes is not built yet. The dele
gation, composed .of County Judge
Campbell, Commissioners Padberg
and Bleakman, District Attorney Not
son and Hon. C. E Woodson,
brought with them good news ,-Ad
glad tidings to the effect that iho
Stale Highway Commission had let
contract for the grading of the Oregon-Washington
highway from the
Gilliam county line to Heppner, a dis
tance of 35 miles to Oskar Hubei, of
Portland for the gum of $146,493.50.
The amount is well within the
amount of money available for the
work and the doubts that had exist
ed that the funds available mlgbt
prove short of any bid received were
dissipated.
Mr. Huber announced before the
Heppner delegation toft Portland
that he would be at work with a
strong force of workmen within no
days and he feels confident that the
work will be completed by April 1,
1920.
Mr. Huber has been in the con
tracting business foi several years
aud is just now completing a heavy
job of state road work in western
Oregon. He had his crew of woik
men and equipment assembler' and
the Morrow county job prove I just
G. iU. Krebs, formerly engage I in
the stock business on Balm Fori.
"where he sold his fine stock ranch to
John McEntire last fall cam; out
from Portland early last week and
speat seveial days visit'ng witt. old
friends and acquaintances ia and
around Heppner. Mr. Krebs has pur
chased a fine country home in the U
Lents district, just outside ih city p
limit of Portland and is livin;'. there
with his family. He has a few acres M
splendidly improved on the paved M
road and within a few minutes of : J
Portland an ideal country home
witn all city improvements.
Mr. Krebs went out to Ins old
ranch Friday and he sa;1 it. made
him t bit homesick. "It's thi penple 4
up here that I can't get away from," h
said Mr. Krebs. They're different 1
some how and the salt of tho earth."
'Air. Krebs went to Cecil Saturday
to spend a few days with his sens cm
their ranch before returning to Port-
land. I

Aim Received By County
Court
(Printers Ink)
The United States is dotted with thriving prosperous
towns, each a trading center for the farmers within a radius
of twenty to fifty miles.
In nearly every one of these towns there is published a
local newspaper, often a daily, in thousands of cases a thriv
ing weekly, and in every case lead by every family in the town
and by all the farmers in the surrounding country.
' . Serving as they do the people living in the country, these
local publications are known as "Country Newspapers." They
are read by sixty million people, 58.2 percent of our popula
tion, who are today living in towns of 5000 population and less
and on the farms. The Country Newspaper is Cne medium upon
which these sixty million Americans derend for their local
news and in many cases for their news of the outside world.
The Country Newspaper, however, is more than a mere
dispenser of news. It is the adviser, fne frieml in need, the
counsellor-at-large for the community. It is a vital factor in
the growth of the town and in the lives of its citizens.
The support of the Country Newsr.aper is enlisted for the
building of the school, the church, the town hall and on
through the various stages in the town's life and growth to the
voting of bonds for lighting and paving the streets. Every
denomination, every class, every citizen looks to the local,
newspaper for support, help and advice. No activity can suc
ceed in a small town from an ice cream social to the organiza
tion of the Commercial Club without the support of the local
newspaper. The Farmers' Club, the County Fair and various
other gatherings of interest to farmers would be out of the
question were it not for the help and support of the 'oeaf news
paper. These varieties of usefulness of the Country Newspaper
make the Country Editor the most influer.tial man in his com
munity. The Country Newspaper is the heart of its community, for
through its columns from week to week flows the life of the
community the chronicling of the births, deaths, goings and
. comings, and activities of all the citizens.
As the Country Newspaper is close to its readers and pow
erful in shaping the life of its community, so is it powerful as
an advertising medium,
The people who read the Country Newspaper look upon it
as a neighbor, a personal acquaintance. They are influenced
by its statements and the advertisements it publishes to a
much greater degree than the dweller in a big city is influenc
ed by the statements- or advertisements in the big city newspaper.

I always read the Ads. to see
What Home Town Merchants offer me.
No coin of mine goes out of town,
Each Ad I read, both up and down.
And find my Home Town Merchants' store
Won't soak my wad and even more
I save in time and don't pay freight;
He always gets my orders straight.
The gcods are right in weltflit and price,
From feather hats, to rakes of Ice,
I thank my star for getting wise
And trade In stores that Advertise.
Right here at home I spend my kale,
No better goods are sold by mall.
I ptopper now, so does my town,
Thanks to these Merrhanta of renown.
Are ynu a Merchant whore bright Ads

meeting. About 100 members were
In attendance including several vis
itors from other lodges.
Harry G. Allen president of the

past exalted ruler of Portland lodge,
was an Tionored fcuest . Ceo'-ge.
Stokes, of the State Fire Wurifi-nV
office, another Portland lodge mem
ber was also present as were Messrs-,
Rullen and Cline, members respect
ively of Portland and Walla Walla
odges.
Mr. Allen is touring the state In the
Interest, of the War Savings drive
the Elks' association having under

this the only war time drive In which
the slate lias lagged. Oregon Is
some millions short of her quota and

It, however, as they always do when
Ihey tackle any sort or undertaking.
Seven new members were Initiated
