HOW LONG, O LOKi?
How long, O Lord, are thy child
ren in Heppner to be afflicted with
the plague of dunt?
How long are they to sit idly by
and see their rather expensive but
very servicable streets torn, up by
every speeding auto and blown away
by every fitful breeze while they
swallow the dust and try to look
pleasant while they keep on boost
ing the best little town on earth if
it had a ghost of a show?
Why is city money spent improv
ing unfrequented streets while the
main thoroughfares are let go to the
bowwows while the paving material
is being daily distributed by the busy
winds into the throats and lungs of
i he long suffering citizens and upon
the shelves and counters and food
containers of the tax-paying, credit
giving merchants and shop-keepers?
Why lot the macadam paving on
Main street wear out and blow away
before it is even, paid for for want
of a few tanks of oil, or, if oil Is
loo expensive or not obtainable, why
not utilize a portion of the creek
water now going tto waste ni sprink
ling the Btrcets, thereby contribut
ing to the comfort of he people, pro
ecting the merchants wares and re
deciding the percentage of common
ordinary dirt that is daily distrib
uted over the fruits and vegetables
and other food products thct every
body musteat?
During the war and after the fire
tbe people were willing to make any
sort of sacrifice to put up with any
sort of inconvenience in matters mu
nicipal but why, O Lard, should such
a coudilion bo continued indefinite
ly? Is the town broke? Are we, as a
municipal community, down and out
for Hie count? Is there no way by
which we can make living conditions
filter now going to waste in sprink-by-word
and reproach among the
p-opl.' who live beer ami those who
re tin lu re on businesw?
t.i mi- here on business?

fools as well and that, so far as the
leather trust is concerned the public
may either go barefoot, pay the price
or, to use the late Jay Gould's classic
expression, "be damned."
INTERC HURCH WOULD MOVE
MENT NOT POPULAR
Heppner churches, who some time
ago decided not to get behind the so
called interchurch world movement
for the purpose of raising an im
mense fund for advancing the work
of all orthodox churches, seems to
have pretty substantial backing in
their position according to recent
newspaper reports. The genoral as
sembly of the Presbyterian church
now in session decided to withdraw
support from the world movement.
The movement seems to have been
occupied after the recent war drives
with the exception that when the war
was on those who put up money un
derstood that it was to be used to
win the war while in the world
church movement nobody seemed
clear as tot jujst what the money was
to be used for.
The day of indiscriminate financial
drives without a well worked out
budget as to JJust what the money is
to be used for, are about played out
in this land of the free.
Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ayers returned
from a trip to Portland Saturday
evenign.
Mrs. Kenneth Mahoney, who vis
ited several day3 in Portland, re- i
turnedto her home in this city last i

Put Today's Prosperity Into a Home
Take advantage of these extraordinary good times
and build yourself a home.
In erecting your own home you are building your
own best saving bank. And in building a home, you
will always have the knowledge that, come what may
you have an a-:set with which to meet all emergencies.
You have aWo supplied yourself with a reason for
sa in, a tangible objective which serves a? a check
on unreasonable spending and makes it easy to save.
For thoe win cor.tcinr!-te li.i'uling it would be
decidedly a short sighted policy to delay. Building
materials are a trifle high at present, it is true, but
against this are the tremendously high rents that gen
erally prevail. The small amount you would lose by
building now would be more than offset by what you
would gain in the matter of rents.
For any information you may desire pcrtatining
