WHY XOT AX Af TlXVB ?
Whv not an auto club or Morrow
county? The good roads movement i
is growing stronger every day and
soijtf pf t,le best boosters for B0"d
roads are the auto owners. Over in
pur sister county, Umatilla, plans are
'under wav for the forming of such an
organization. Its object will be to
advocate and work for better high-;
wavs and to cooperate in meeting the .
various problems that present them-j
selves to owners of motor cars. The j
movement is a logical one, for who j
can see the benefits from goon u
more than the autoists. Who enjoys
them more? The organization of a
well formed auto club in Morrow
county would be a great help in the
good roads movement. Why can't we
have such a club? Let us hear from
the automobile owners.

TO" BE I'BEPARKD.
All people save those who seem to
want to be blind, can see how much
the United States needs a merchant
marine. Another fact which the
great war across the sea emphasizes,
is that a country like ours should be
able to produce every needed thing
for both war and peace. It should
have gun and ammunition works suf
ficient to meet any emergency. It
should have inland depots with rail
road connections so that it could dis
patch help to any needed point cover
ing a thousand miles of coast, as for
instance a point like Fort Douglas,
from which a force or supplies could
be forwarded direct to Seattle, Port
land, San Francisco or San Diego
direct. It should have shipyards, to
turn out submarines, located for in
land, in such places as Albany, N. Y.,
or Memphis, Tenn. It should have
inland manufactures for aeroplanes
and other aircraft. It should have
stud stables at different inland points
to Insure any needed supply of caval
ry and artillery horses and ambu
lance and team mules.
The nation, too, should be just as
well supplied to produce all that Is
needed in time of peace.
We raise wheat and corn and cot
ton to sell abroad. We should make
all the sugar needed; all the leather
needed. We should have great
chemical plants and offer rewards
for every new and important discovery.
In the depots great supplies of
clothing and metals should be kept
on hand, and facilities to supply
more rapidly, all in order. A nation
and a people are not great until the
nennle can supply every needed
thing. Goodwin's Weekly.

The bunch that went to Hermlston

we do not care to state the number

took the cup for catching the biggest
fish. He landed one that tipped the
rule at 18 inches:

were received.
Faster Sing a Success.
The Easter cantata, "Life's Morn
ing," presented by the Sunday School
children of the Christian church on

all those taking part acquitting them
