SOMETHING BETTER.
For the past 12 months the Gazette-Times
has been supplying its
readers with a subscription to the
Home and Farm Magazine Section,
and we find that this feature has been
highly appreciated. ' The Gazette
Times has made this effort because it
realizes the direct value to Heppner
and surrounding country of instruc
tive reading for those interested in
the farming business.
We feel that our readers have been
benefitted by the Home & Farm Mag
azine Section. We are pleased to
now announce that we have secured
for you who are interested, a much
better publication, which is a HEAL
farm paper devoted to the actual
farming needs of the Pacific North
west. We have, at an increased cost,
obtained a clubbing rate with the
Farm Magazine Company of Port
land, Oregon, for the Western Farm
er to be sent to those of our readers
who could be thereby benefitted, be
ginning with the week of May 17th.
The western Farmer is already
well known to many of our readers
as the leading farm paper of the Pa
cific Northwest. It is the exponent
of agricultural conditions as they ob
tain in this territory. It will be
under the editorial direction of X. E.
Naville, the present editor of the
Western Farmer, a man who contin
ues to he a potent factor in the agri
cultural development of the Pacific
Coast and who is recognized nation
ally as THE editor of his territory
who is capable of and is accomplish
ing the solution of the problems of
the farmer.
The Gazette-Times feels confident
that its readers will be more than
pleased with the Western Farmer,
for its several departments will be
well filled each issue with clean,
wholesome and practical information.
With the Western Farmer coming in
to your homes twice each month you
will continue to realize fully that the
Gazette-Times is a paper which re
gards as all important the value of
assisting wherever we can for the
best development of the agricultural
conditions of this territory,
VXSKILLED TAMPERING WITH
HUMAN AILMENTS.
One who wants his watch repaired
sends it, not to a blacksmith but to
a skilled watchmaker; to one who
knows the- position and purpose of
each of its delicate and intricate
parts. Here the importance of expert
service and the ability to render, it
are recognized. Not so, however,
when the delicate life processes of a
human being, rendered sensitive by
sickness or injury, are in need of re
pair. Here the man who is careful
to send his watch to an expert is like
ly to patronize the blacksmith when
he or one of his family is ill. To rec
ognize promptly and positively many
of even the common diseases requires
a skilled diagnostician who under
stands the use of scientific laboratory
methods. The successful treatment
of diphtheria, malaria and syphilis
as examples depends on an early
and positive recognition of the caus
ative agent, respectively, the Klebs
Loeffler baccilus, the Plasmodium
malariae, and the Treponema palli
dum. To be able to do this requires
a knowledge of these organisms and
skill in the use of the microscope and
laboratory methods of diagnosis. The
cure of many diseases, such as tuber
culosis, cancer, spinal meningitis etc.
depend not only on a positive but es
pecially on an early diagnosis, and
this, likewise, requires a thorough
training in modern medicine. With
out a training in scientific methods,
the diagnosis of these diseases is un
certain, or impossible, since the signs
and symptoms easily lead to their be
ing confused with disorders requir
ing radically different methods of
treatment. Without a correct diag
nosis any form of treatment is guess
work and unscientific. A training in
the branches fundamental to modern
scientific medicine is an essential
qualification for all who undertake to
treat human ailments, no matter
what treatment be adopted. This, in
the opinion of The Journal of the
American Medical Association, is a
fundamental fact that defies contra
diction. It is immaterial whether
the treatment be a form of massage
or tissue manipulation, and given un
der the name of osteopathy, chiro
practic, naprapathy or spondylother
apy; whether is be psychotherapy,
given under the name of Christian
Science, mental healing, or what not
-Mhe fact remains that any leglsla
tlon relative to the regulation of what
is known as the practice of medicine
that is, the healing of the sick
that does not recognize, this funda
mental fact is not in the interest of
the public health or the public good
.iifTnow and here that war has not
iaid its devastating hand upon our
fair land; has not entered the homes,
no matter how humbly secluded, and
taken from the family circle the son,
the brother, the husband or the fa
ther. Never has the civilized world real
ized so fully that "war is hell" as It
does today. Now is the time to lay
the foundation for future peace be
tween nations. Now is the time to
picture war in its true light; to burn
the horrors of war into the soul3 of
boys and girls.
It would be nice if certain princi
ples did not have to be seared into
the souls of the people; if they could
only bask in the sunlight of sweet
ness and benevolence through all the
days of their sojournings upon the
earth. Somehow or other, hard facts
have to be faced, cruel and untoward
events haveio be met, and Borne pre
paration is needed to meet these facts
successfully. "War is hell"; not nice
language, not a nice fact, not a pleas
ant thought; but a fact, a horrible
fact, and a fact that can only be made
less horrible by understanding its
true nature once and for all.
The barbarities of the present war,
the barbarities of the great war, the
savagery of it, is a striking contrast
of the boasted amenities of modern
civilization.
"War is hell," makes demons out
of civilized men that is the long and
short of it. Spokesman Review.

NOVELTIES IX DIPLOMACY.
The smashing of international law
into smithereens has been one of the
outstanding features of the great
war. And it seems that the tradi
tions of diplomatic propriety are be
ing almost as badly shattered as the
rules of warfare and the rights of
neutral shipping. There was a fla
grant instance rebuked in a recent
note from our State Department, one
country arguing with us about our
apparent failure in negotiations with
a third country and suggesting a lev
er we should employ in moving it to
action desired by us and by the sug
gestor. Recently advertisements ap
peared in several newspapers, warn
ing Americans against taking passage
on steamships floating the flags of
the allied countries. That these ad
vertisements were paid for by the
German embassy has been admitted.
Yet the ambassador to any country,
according to international usage,
must address his suggestions only to
the minister of foreign affairs, who,
in the United States, Is secretary of
state.
No sooner had scrupulous friends
of punctilio begun their expressions
of hot indignation against such a
breach of propriety than the British
embassy gave out "for guidance of
American shippers" a suggestion as
to how delays in neutral shipping
might be avoided. It is proposed
that duplicates of manifests be for
warded to British consuls. There' is
no promise of immunity froni search
for contraband, but it is suggested
that this course would greatly expe
dite cargoes reachfng their destina
tion. No doubt many shippers will
cheerfully follow the suggestion.since
they are more concerned about
prompt delivery of cargoes than dip
lomatic niceties. It is also likely that
many cautious persons will heed the
German warning against taking pas
sage on vessels belonging to any of
the allies. T3ut both actions are ob
vious violations of diplomatic ameni
ties. In Washington s administra
tion the French minister was sent
home for actions similar in essence
Our State Department has been
threshing out the neutral shipping
question with Great Britain and Ger
many, and it alone has the right to
make such suggestions to American
citizens as it deems wise. But this
amazing war apparently has suspend
ed all rules nations have heretofore
followed in their relations with each
other. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

ADVERTISING BRINGS CROWD
A unique plan was used in an Ore
gon county to encourage a large
attendance of farmers and merchants
at a meeting held for the purpose of
organizing a farmers' club. The
merchants of the town used a great
deal of their advertising space in the
local papers for calling attention to
the time and place of meeting, as well
as the program for the day. nip
merchants also announced that they
would close their places of business
from 12 to 1:30 p. m. and help "wait
on the tables" at the free dinner to
be given by the retail merchants'
association to all farmers and their
wives attending the meeting. In ad
dition to the speakers the merchants'
association had provided orchestra
and band music for the occasion
As a result of this interest shown by
the business men, and their active
advertising campaign, a very enthu
siastic meeting was neld, attended by
nearly 700 persons. Nearly 500
persons were served at luncheon.
