: 200 CASKS OF APPENDICITIS NO FATALITY
' In looking up the records ai d checking up the writer finds
that he has treated over two hundred cases of appendicitis, In Hepp
ner, In the last eleven years and has had no complications, notwith
standing the fact that inott nil of these cases were examined by
other physicians and diagnosed as appendicitis and an operation
recommended. This statement or fact and the records to prove It
Is significant In this community of rash and hasty surgery where
people are told they "must have an operation at once on the appen
dix will burst". The plugging up or the opening of the appendix
with fecal matter which causes Int'lamation and suppuration Is
caused by constipation with a weakened cendition of the nerves that
control the peristallsis, or wave-like muscular constrictions of the
large Intestine and of the appendix, for even the little appendix,
too, has peristalsis of ita own. ' If this peristalsis is lost or very
.much weakened, there la no onward wave-motion to expel any sub
stance that may enter the little pocket; hence It la sometimes the
' appendix needs help so that it may be able to empty itself.
Down ll fhe right side of the abdomen there it a valve called
the "lleo-eieraj jralve." It gunrtls the gateway between the small
and large lptestini. Just below this valve we find a pouch, or
Reservoir, called the "caecum", which Is the head, or first part, or
Tntranc. of the lame Intestine. At the extreme lower end of this
pourh. and opening Into It, we find a worm-like appendage, bann
ing down about three Inches In length, looking like a bent peanut,
which la known aa the "vermiform appendix." ' Fecal matter from
the small Intestine passes through this lleo-ceacel valve Just above
the appendix and la emptied Into this pouch, the "caecum". If the
Intestine la receiving a normal amount of nervous impulses, thereby
setting uj a proper number of peristaltic waves In the bowel, the
fecal muer will be duly carried along up the ascending colon,
across the transverse colon and down the descending colon to the
rectum and then passed from the body normally. Hut If there Is
some Interference with the nerve and blood supply to the Intestines,
causing a sluggish constipated condition on their part, the feral
matter may lie In the pouch for days at a time waiting for enough
bowel stimulant to cany It on, furthelr decomposition and putrefac
tion takes place, hastened by bacteria, which are ever present, but
which are harmless so long as the bowel maintains normal move
ment. Oerms multiply by millions, and within a few houis we have
vertlable germ hot-bed flourishing right over the mouth of the
appendix and generating quantities of poisons. Bacteria find their
ay through the opening Into the- appendix. Inflaming It with their
",.olon and producing what Is known as "appendlrltls."

Officers of the John Day Irrigation

C. C Clark, president of the board
of directors had to say this morning
W a' ding the possibilities of the early
development of that wonderful pro
ject. "It is the biggest irrigation pro
ject in the state," Mr. Clark declared
"and we officers of the district would
feel derelict in our duties if we let
pass a single opportunity to bring
the possibilities of the John Day pro
ject to the attention of the people of
Morrow couny and the state of Ore
gon." Mr. Clark spoke of the recent opin
ion rendered by Teal, Minor & Win
free, bond attorneys of Portland, in
which' they upheld the legality of the
nversnlzatlon proceedings, and be-
! lieves this will smooth the way for :
j early activities which will ultimately
j lead to putting the big project across
As a means for directing local and
' state attention to the project the di
rectors are arranging to hold a pic-fnie-barbecue
on the dividing line be
tween the John Day district and the
l West Extension (Boardman) project

jent month or early In June.
The event Is now being arranged for

for visitors who attend this meeting.
On the one hand. It Ik planned to

Mr. Clark snys the next big step to
be taken In the development of Ihe
I project Is to secure the services of
a great engineer one who has al
ready accomplished big things In the
development of litigation projects.

One of the big phases of the work the Salvation Army is doing In
Oregon to prevent the Ills of wrong teaching and poverty and to strike at
the root of the dot-pair and grief found in the cities, is the training and care
of dependent boys az:l girls. One of tho items of the budget to be raised
for the Salvation Army work in Oregon provides for the purchase of tho
Blshoo Seott school at North Yamhill aa un ImliiHtrlul
where neglected kiddle3 will be educated and made efficient workers so
that when they po out into the world they will be an asset to society and
not a charge upn the communities of which they will be members. The
1000 acre farm has a walnut grove and other orchards, and. under nroner
care of agricultural experts who will teach the boys, its productivity will go
fur toward making the school self supporting. The school Is in no sense to
bo a puir.! or reformatory Institution but on the other hand it is Intended
to p'-ovldtj sound vi.-uticral education for youngsters who, without It, are on

Itusy Session
Due to a great extent to the efforts
put forth by County Agent Hunt, of
Morrow county, and Max Hoke, who
holds a similar position in Wallowa
county as well as being secretary of
fhe Oregon Woolgrcwers association,
a representative body of sheepmen,
met in Heppner last Saturday when
the question of better marketing
methods was thoroughly discussed
and steps taken to revive the wool
growers organization of Oregon with
a view to working out some plan for
bettor development of the industry.
The meeting was called to order
by L. A. Hunt and Max Hoke made
the opening address In which he re
viewed the past activities' of the Ore
gon Woolgrowers association and
pointed out the possibilities for still
greater work in the future. Mr.
Holm urged the importance of gath
ering and disseminating information
of value to sheepmen such as the
number of fheep available for sale
in different localities, prices asked
and offered, condition of ranges, etc.
Following Mr. Hoke's addresB the
discussion became general and much
information of value to sheepmen,
was brought out.
A motion finally prevailed to en
dorse the action of the executive com
mittee of the Oregon Woolgrowsrs
association regarding the sending of
wool to Portland and eliminating
country sales.
A resolution was adopted asking
the president of the Oregon Word
growers to appoint a permanent com
mittee to make a study of marketing
sheep and wool as well as to better
means for finnncinp the industry.

The big problem loday, commercliilly iipeaklng, Is the prob
lem of distribution of getting things firm tVherc they are to
where they ought to be. The two big factors in this problem
rre advertising and salesmanship. The relationship between
the two is the closest relationship It Is possible to lisve. It Is
closer than a team under a single yoke; it Is closer than broth
ers; It is closer than the relation between man and wife, be
cause there run never be sepuratlon or dlvotce.
Advertising is salesmanship, and salesmanship Is adver
tising. Every ad is a salesman, and evtry salesman is nn ad.
Advertising cieMer, the utmoi-pl.ere of dullness, and the sules
rianthlp follows.
A man soys "My business is so thoroughly established I
do not nr ed to advertise It." He Is Just like the man with blue
goggles winking- at a girl. He knows he Is winking at Ihe
girl, but she doesn't.
The foundation of business Is confidence. And advertising
and publicity are the greatest builders of conlldenre known to
the buslncs man.
Ii!g advertising looks like big tl"s; it makes the public
familiar with the seller of ihe goods and will create conlldenre
In those goods. Some people inlstHke advertising for ill. but
advertising never added one dollar of merit to any article ad
veitlsed. Advertising merely tells merit; It does ni.t create H.
flood must have im-til In Idem to sell, lind they iiiuM a No
dave merit, wden sold, to slay sold. A smI" does not end ii'm-r-dsys
wild the making of It; It never end" so long as the man
Is using Ihe article you sell.
Tde object of sulesmanshlp snd advertising Is lo disttldule
goods at a ptorit. Anybody r an give away g4k. dm to s-II
them It takes a snleman. When you make a sale of antdi'g
whether in a store or on the toad, tdat sale does not take pl.n
In the porkerboos. raider EVERY SALE TAKES I'l.A' E,
