wljirl of life, thousands of them with
wives and children dependent upon
them, find hundreds of them frequent

In ' this work, upon whose areom-
plishment the American K'"l Cross is
urging a record-breaking enrollment in I
the Itoll Call which opens on Annis- j
tlce Ibiy anil closes with Tlianksgiv-1
ing Day, 2,(17!t Chapters in all parts of
the. country are engaged. This is .'loll
more, than were working for ex-service
men last year when approximately
$10,1X10.(1011 was expended by the Na
tional Organization and the Chapters
working together in harmonious unity.
Tor the current fiscal year National
Headquarters appropriated So.firtO,
602.90, an increase of SnO.ViOO.8-t over
the amount spent for the work among
ex-service men in the year ended June
"0 Inst. Since it is estimated that Hie
Chapters will expend close to $7,000,
000 from their own funds, the grand
total of Red Cross expenditures for
this single work is expected again to
reach the $10,000,000 mark by June 30,
1923.
Hospital and District, Office Work
Turing the fiscal year a total of over
1.000 persons, paid and volunteer, lias
been engaged In lied Cross duty in
hospitals or district oifioes of the C. S.
Veterans' Bureau. An average of 8,000
new cases requires definite and par
ticular attention eacli month. The de
mand for Chapter-ninde articles for
liospitnl patients is constant.
I luring last year Service Claims and
Information Service at National Head--rpmrters
handled 37,200 compensation
and insurance claims, 24,."(;0 allotment
and allowance cases, and 9.700 miscel
laneous claims. Since February. UI10.

The Chapter is the unit of the Red i
Cross organization which is accessible
to every disabled veteran or his fam- i
ity. r.cween July 1. I'.rjl. and June :;o,

men and their dependents, at fi cost j

The basis of this f.ir-reaclilng work I
nf the Red Cross is the individual
needs of the disabled veteran to thej
end thai he may obtain his rights un

may be immediately supplied, that Ids

On the following evening,
an engagement, Moll made
to .Miss ("Milton's apartment.

She had ascertained that beyond :

The a part men t in which Miss Clin- ,
ton lived was of the press-a-but loll- j
anil-walk-up kind. So Jim was not I
keeping her in luxury! Summoning'
all her courage, Molly went up to the :
top Hat when the door opened.
Miss Clinton was pretty, there was
no denying that, and Molly felt oddly
touched to see that she was quite pass- !
able like herself.

she answered. . !
"I haven't come here to quarrel with 1
you, Miss Clinton," Molly said. "I just j
wanted to find out well, you see, I j
know everything, and I wanted to lind
out what Jim sees in you that be
doesn't see in me."
The Other laughed uncomfortably.
"Oil, Jim and I met and found we were
meant for each other. I guess that
covers everything."
"He thought that about me, per
haps." "Wore off, maybe."
"Will it wear off with you?"
"I don't know, nor care," answered
Miss Clinton. "That's the beauty of It.
That's, what keeps us together. You
fool, didn't you know that?"
"I've never been exacting," said Mol
ly humbly. "I've worked for him
when we were poor I slaved for him."
The other softened. "My dear, I've
never slaved for a man In my life, and
never will," she said. "I guess the
truth is you're the typical wife, uud
I'm the typical well, you know."
"Are all men untrue to their wives
when they've thought about them all
the time?"
"Mostly, I guess. You see, a man
doesn't want a servant when he mar
ries. He'd much rather come home to
love, with a dirty icebox, or sit down
to hash and kisses than a housewifely
meal. I guess you haven't learned
that, Mrs. I'rotheroe."
"No. I've been a fool," said Molly.
"Ah, well, that's the secret," Miss
Clinton answered. "You can't hold
love by housework."
"I guess you're the type of woman
the men go to," admitted Molly. "Hut
maybe I've got a secret, too."
"What Is it?"
"They always come back when
their wives lire big enough and brave
enough and loving enough. And I'm
the type they come back to. They do
get tired of hush and dirty iceboxes
and Broadway dinners, too."
"Maybe," answered Miss Clinton.
And Molly vent down the stairs,
pondering the old, unanswered ques
tion :
"Which would I really rattier be?"
EDUCATION BILL

One hundred per cent Americanism
is a fine tiling we all want it and
nearly every one stands for just that.
Cut there are a good many people who
want to define the other fellow's
Americanism.
Seme think 100 per cent American
ism just now mantis to close up all
of the old established private schools
in Oregon, in which several thousand
,pupil3 are being trained for life's work
and to force their parents, through
the so-called compulsory education
bill to be voted on in November, to
go to th e public schools.
There is no.v in force and has been
f;:r many years, an educational hill
which compels parents to educate
th'ir children; but, following the con
dilution of the United States and of
i -egon, it gives parents ths right to
say whether they shall educate those
c li'.ilri n in private, or public schools,
l.in, that doesn't satisfy a certain ele
ment, an mbers of which have now
initiated a proposed law to close the
private schools and deprive the par
em s of any chuico of educational
a v.'.ci'cs.

Barytone Sings of New Grocery.
The swaying notes of a jazz tune
coming from the sky In a clear bary
tone voice caused hundreds of shop
pers ut Eighth avenue and Fifty
second street to gaze upward In
wonderment. On the roof of one of
the five-story buildings they glimpsed
a man holding a megaphone to his
mouth. When he had concluded the
song the man announced to the world
at large the opening of a new grocery
and butcher shop on the ground floor
of the building on which he stood.

There are certain lots and parcels
of land in the City of Heppner, and
particularly in the business district
that are kept in Bitch a condition to
be a reflection on any city. With
little effort and pride these condi
tions could be remedied, and the
owners and occupants of these lots
have been frequently requested to
remove the offensive and unsightly
conditions, but so far such requests
have been without avail. Ordinance
No. 67 of the City of Heppner en

189a, provides, among other things,
as follows:

The School Monopoly Bill
has a misleading name!
yOU have an interest in schools? Then be
sure to understand the true meaning of the
School Monopoly Bill which is called on the
ballot the Compulsory Education Bill.
The reason that this name is misleading is
because we already have compulsory educa
tion under the present existing law, and we
already have compulsory teaching in English
in all schools.
What this bill really proposes is to substitute srara
control over the education of your children for your control. .
The people of Michigan have already overwhelmingly
defeated this measure, because it attacked the freedom of
education.
Protect your rights which are being endangered do
not be misled by the name of this bill. Read the proposed
bill carefully. Read the campaign literature. Find out
the intent of the bill which is disguised by the title.
t You will find that that they propose school monoply.
A hidden attack upon freedom of education.

"Off the Hook
When your telephone is accidentally left "off
the hook," the operator first answers as she would
if you were placing a call. After repeated efforts,
receiving no response, she reports your line as "out
of order." It is then disconnected from the regular
switchboard and placed on a special board where
it awaits the attention of the repairing forces.
All this takes time. It involves tests, reports
and generally a trip to the location of the trouble.
In the meantime, what happens?
Others have been unable to reach you by
telephone.
Even if the mistake has been discovered and
your telephone placed on the hook, service may not
be restored until the "troubleman's" final O. K.
On a party line all other telephones on the line
are deprived of both incoming and outgoing
service for the same period of investigation and
repair.
Off the hook" is a most common cause of in
terruption to telephone service. By the exercise
of care in this connection you will protect your
service and avoid inconvenience to yourself and
oth
ers.
