Only Regret Lies in the Fact That He is Losing Association With His Colleagues W. B. Barratt, eastern. Oregon member of the state highway com mission, has tendered his' resignation to Governor Olcott, the same to take ffect January 1, 1923. Mr. Barretts' action was not unex pected for the reason that when he accepted the appointment from Gov ernor Olcott a year ago he stipulated that he desired to serve on the body only until the plans then mapped oui for the present year had been car ried out. He was first appointed to serve out the unexpired term caused by the death of EX. E. Kiddle and at the end of that term was re-appointed. In his letter to the governor M Barrett says that his only regret in leaving the commission is the loss of association with his colleagues, "a few men, who in this day and age, "when suspicion and slander is rife, can stand up before the world im hued with the supreme satisfaction that they have given the best that they have given the best that is in them unselfishly." Mr. Barratt's letter to Governor Olcott follows: Honorable Ben W. Olcott,' Gov ernor of the State of Oregon. Dear Sir: I hereby tender my res ignation as highway commissioner of the state of Oregon, to take effect December 3:. 122" In tendering this resignation I re spectfully submit the following rea sons, to-wit: Permit me to call your attention to my agreement on my re appointment to this office at the ex piration of "Mr. Kiddle's term, where in I expressly stated that for per sonal reasons I would not consent to fill out the entire term of three years, but that I would agree to serve temporarily or until the 1922 road programme projected by the commis sion was consummated. That time has now arrived, or nearly so, and in order to give Governor-elect Pierce due time to consider the appointment of my successor to fill this important position, I deem it to be but fair to him to submit my resignation to you at this lime, to take effect as stated above. I am surrendering my commission "with the positive knowledge that the power vested in the highway commis sion by you and the members of the legislature during my incumbency has never been abused and my only regret in severing my connection with the department is that in doing so I shall be deprived of the associa tions of a few men, yourself includ ed, who in this day and age, when suspicion and slander are rife, can stand up before the world imbued with the supreme satisfaction that they have given the best that was in them, unselfishly, for the upbuilding of the state of. Oregon and the ad vancement of the interests of the cit izens within its boundaries. Thanking you most heartily for the honor conferred by this appoint ment and for confidence reposed in me, I am, sir, yours respectfully, W. B. BARRATT. FEDERATED CHI !'.( II ,T. P. L.

ADVERTISE FARM PRO DUCTS SHE AS AUIOS Washington, Nov. 25. The day when American farm products will be as extensively advertised throughout the country as the automobile and other manufactured articles will soon arrive, Dr. W. M. Jardine, presdent of the Kansas State Agrcultural college, declared today before the Washing ton Ad club. "The American farmer has been acquainted with only one side of tin advertising business." he said. "In the main, he thinks of advertising as a more or less tricky device employ ed by middlemen to separate him from his money. He probably has somewhat the same opinion of au vertising as a rifle has of target practice. "The signs of the times, however, jive ponting in another direction. Bankers and members of chambers of commerce have begun to take the farmer in as a business partner. They are seeing that they must help him earn more money, and they are begin ning to see that he needs help prin cipally with his marketing and selling problems. "The selling end of the farmer's business has been badly and most unfortunately neglected. Circum stances are to blame in part, he is to blame in part and business men are to blame in part. In a certain sense, advertising men are much to blame. Problems in marketing, advertising and selling that nee.J -olution mjch more than many v.'iich h.-ve been sol'td, have been ne;'ec.ed 'Agrierltural mCM . r America hav begun to concern themselves with the I selling end of their business. They ! have begun lo learn to sell co-opera- lively, i-j organize and to n sped their organization. The next gemr:. j tion . I farmers is going to grow u : already .-old' to the idea of organi ; zatio.'i.'' Mr. and Mrs. Tom Matlock were in from their Hinton ramm Saturday.

A fine daughter was born to Mi and Mrs. W. F. Matlock last Friday night weighing 11 1-2 pounds. W. I was doing considerable strutting around Saturday morning and looking almost as big as he felt. Mother and child are reported doing nicely and W. F. will probably quiet dowi In a day or two so he will not need his friends to set up with him nights. AS CULINARY EXPERTS The ladies of the Federated church may have been a bit jealous when they finished the banquet served by the male members last Friday eve ning, but they were not hungry. It may not be the easiest thing in the world for a woman, to admit that any mere man can excel or even equal her In demonstrating the culinary art but that was what they were up against on the occasion above referred to. The men served such a stunning re past that the ladies were obliged to recognize their theoretical lords and masters as their culinary peers. At least that is the way Chief Cook Yeager and Master Baker Smead ex plained the matter to a Herald re porter Monday morning. The men were hosts, cooks, wait ers and entertainers Friday evening and the ladies, God bless 'em, for once in their lives had nothing to do but take life easy and enjoy them selves. An excellent program was given In the auditorium, consisting of solos, quartettes, pantomines, sleight of hand and speeches, every number be ing thoroughly enjoyed by the lady guests. Then followed the banquet, every detail of which was a result of the combined science, art and genius of the men folks. How the menu was so efficiently prepared and so fault lessly served no woman knows. Those biscuits, that salad and the creamed chipped beef a la Yeager -Oh, boy! At Ilia close of the dinner Mrs. C. E. Woodson in a few well chosen words, thanked the men for the splen did entertainment, her remarks being followed by this original song by the ladies: Thank you, thank you, ye men now, Ye workers short and tall. We thank you for the, banquet, And for the program all. Our words will not convey quite The joy our hearts do feel; Our empty plates reveal it, Our voices fairly squeal. Oue Heppner man who was not able lo be present but whose wife . there, was awakened in the wee sina' hours Saturday morning by his wife repeating, in her sleep, the fol lowing lines from Meridelh: We may live without poetry, music and art, We may live without conscience, we may live without heart, We may live without love, we may live without books But the civilized woman cannot live without cooks. Since then this man has been practicing cooking breakfast and try ing to make himself believe that lie li'kes it. Mrs. Ida Kestner, grand worthy matron of the Order Eastern Star, will be in Heppner Friday evening, December 8th, on an official visit to the local chapter of that order.
