TO VISIT HEPPNER
Local dealers throughout the stale
are awake to the great opportunity
presented by the plan tor a huge car
avan ot automobiles, trucks, tractors
and implements which is being as
sembled in Portland and will begin
its itinerary of the state near the
southern line in. the near future and
work its way northward. The
schedule of stops will be announced
soon which will include this locality.
A similar demonstration in west
ern Washington last year attracted
fully 10,000 persons in some of the
more populous sections, and crowds
of from 1000 to 5000 were common.
Local business men will cooperate
with the exhibitors and their repre
sentatives for the convenience i'
comfort of the crowds which will
gather wherever a stop is made.
The tour will cover about three
months, using the highways exclu
sively. Associated in the enterprise are the
Ford Motor company .featuring Ford
Trucks and Fordson tractors, the
.Standard Oil company, Oliver Chilled
Plow Works and allied manufactur
ers of a complete line of farm imple
ments for which the Oliver concern
is the Northwest distributor, the Er
sted Machinery Manufacturing con
pany, showing the Ersted hoist; Tal
bot & Casey, with flie Trailmobik
and a number of tractor specialties
and attachments, Parsons-Gordon
Comany, Northwest distributors o
the Lee Line Trailers, contracto
dump bodies and similar, equipment;
the Francis Motor Car Co. with Her
cules truck bodies for various com
mercial and industrial purposes;
Modern Appliances Company, dem
onstrating the Delco Light and a
number of electrical specialties, incu
ling many for use in the modern
farm home; to which exhibits innum
erable features will be added to meet
local demand for special demonstra
tions of a widely varied character.
In, the neighborhood of 40 trucks
and tractors will be required to
handle the entire apparatus. It is
estimated that approximately 4000
miles will have been covered by the
date of the last demonstration. Co
operating with the distributors will
be their respective local representa
tives In about 150 cities, towns and
villiages in Oregon and a portion of
Washington along the Columbia
river. More than 50 mechanics, dri
vers, lecturers and technical experts
will participate in the various demonstrations.
Civic organization throughout the
course of the tour will cooperate
in arranging special features. At
Oakland in southern Oregon, there
will be a great barbecue to which the
whole countryside is being invited. A
clambake will be a prominent event
at Seaside, and special programs are
being arranged at Lebanon, Grants
Pass and many other points through
out the entire state.
Daily radio concerts will be given,
there will be motion pictures, illus
trated lectures, various prize contests
refreshments on the grounds and in
numerable entertaining and educa
tional features.
The entire plan was originated by
W. H. Goodwin, Portland branch
manager of the Ford Motor Company
who staged a similar project In west
ern Washington a year ago. That at
traction proved so highly interesting
to farmers, contractors, engineers
and business men that requests tor a
similar tour come from hundreds of
points throughout the entire Norui
west, and it is in compliance with so
widespread a desire that the various
manufacturers and distributors are
putting on an) entirely new industrial
and power farming tour in Oregon
this year.
This year's show will differ great
ly from that staged a year ago by the
same exhibitors. Upon reaching a
demonstration point, instead of set
ting up all equipment and apparatus
in a single field, a distribution of the
equipment will be made in accor
dance with local demand. Thus, if a
farmer wishes a demonstration of
mowing or plowing it will be conduc
ted at a point convenient to all who
are interested in such demonstration.
Should a contractor desire first hand
information concerning special bodies
trailers, hoists, road building mach
inery, etc., such demonstration will
be given at a spot apart! from the ag
ricultural show. A business man
wishing to be shown the advantages
of delivering merchandise may have
the free use of a vehicle specially
equipped to meet his requirements. A
tabulation of operation costs will be
made in connection with each demon
stration of truck trailer tractor and
their special equipment, and upon
conclusion of the several demons! ra-
entertainment and educational pro
gram for the entire crowd at the
headquarters of each show.
Tim onvunn i-itl nut pontine itself
to the highways and main traveled j
roads, but will go into the back coun-J
try in order to give the more remote i
sections every possible opportunity
to witness each demonstration. ,
The itinerary will be announced ',
within a few days', but it has been
definitely determined that the cara- .
van shal proceed under its own i
power southward to the California
line, malting brief stc;-3 en: route and
witholding actua 1 demonstrations
until the caravan reaches its ex
treme southern destination at such
points as Ashland, Medford and
Grants Pass, from which points a re
turn will be made for f. huge show in
the vicinity of Portland before leav
gin for towns and cites! clswhere in
the state.
Watch for date of arrival of the
caravan in Heppner announcement
of whichwill be "made later.

With Spring's first
warm breezes, came .
thoughts of a sum-
mer vacation
dreams of a time
apart from the rest of the year when you can
enjoy relaxation in complete comfort with
nary a thought of the troubles of the world.
Are you realizing those dreams now?
If not, perhaps the reason is the most com
mon one - - No Bank Account. Why not
start in to save now so that when your next
vacation period rolls around you will not be
disappointed?
Put what money you, can spare into a Saving's Account with its
and with the 4 per cent interest we pay, you will soon be' on the
road to the "land of your dreams come true."

Trouble"
Behind your telephone service is the "plant"
a complicated mechanical equipment of
poles, cables, wires, switchboards, instruments,
etc., carefully adjusted and absolutely depend
ent on perfect construction and maintenance.
The "plant" is constantly subject to accident
and outside interference. Storms, fires, the
carelessness of workmen, the pranks of children,
concealed defects of material all play their
pait.
The telephone company maintains a skilled
force whose sole duty is to quickly restore serv
ice interrupted from any cause. Your lines are
constantly watched and tested.
In the case of trouble we are generally the
first to know it, but a notification to our Com
plaint Department when there is anything
wrong will be appreciated.
