JL . 1 ABE VOU EDUCATED. A professor of the University of Chicago has evolved a series of test questions for the educated which, he avows, are the best evidences of a real education. If you can answer "yes" to all the questions you are truly educated, the professor says. Here are the questions: Has your education given you sym pathy with all good causes and made yoa espouse them? Has it made you public spirited? Has it made you a brother to the weak? Have you learned how to make friends and keep them? Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself? Can you look an honest man or pure woman in the eye? Do you see anything to love in a little child? Will a lonely dog follow you in the street? Can you be high-minded and hap py in the meanest drudgeries of life? Do you think that washing dishes and hoeing corn is just as compat ible with high thinking as piano playing or golf? Are you good for anything your self? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out on the world and see anything but dollars and cents? Can you look into a mud-puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in a puddle but mud? WAR REVOLUTIONIZES MIDDLE CLASS LIFE IN ENGLAND. "Because men are dying," says Re becca West of England, n discussing her countrywomen, "to maintain na tional life, we do not notice that this is changing as quickly as they die." The heart of English life is devoured, the places where the future is nur tured, the part that is woman's care. The good deeds of English women in this war "are precious because performed by women who were not set apart by any passion of renuncia tion or service." One had spent a great part of her existence in playing eolf with distinction. Another had a passion for getting up things. Both went to Serbia, and are now of the fellowship of heroes dead. Ordinary women are working as helpers in Belgium by twos or singly and moth ering babies at the risk of their lives. The kin of such women feel as if they too die gloriously, and these women dead become a strain in the English blood that will live while England stands. The mass of English women, of mothers and wives, hpve received a revelation from the war. The rela tive ease of 18 months ago has yield ed place to the hardest work as man of all work as well as housewife. The British homemaker has to struggle to keep the war out of her home and to make her life worth living. The middle-class home, which leans so heavily on the system of distribution which the war has broken down in England, "has tumbled like a house of cards." Decent life has been raised by the war into fiineness, but base life has been made baser. The simple, loose ly organized life of rural England from which the lady of whom Miss West tells had drawn her life is gone Subscriptions to war loans and di minished incomes have inflicted sharp pinches upon the middle class es. Ladies unacquainted with man ual labor try to do their own plumb The European war has supplied the world with a great many object lessons. One is that the disposition of most nations is to be faithkeeping until it looks as though an advantage could be gained by breaking faith and then a debate is sprung at once. Another object lesson that has been furnish is the accentuating of the wisdom of Washington's injunction to '"in time of peace prepare for war." Another lesson which is most per tinent makes clear the wisdom of the Nevada saloon keeper's remark in, self-justification when arraigned for keeping a disorderly house. Said he, When I opened my saloon I prom ised the best citizens of the place that it should always be a peaceable, quiet place, and I am going to keep my word if I have to beat to death some blankety blankety unregener- ate son of a gun every quarter of an hour." , Certain facts are plain to the dull est eyes. No formidable enemy could attack us without coming from three to five thousand miles to do so. That makes clear at a glance that we should have an ample fleet to en tertain them were they to ccme; an ample fleet and coast defenses, and both the fleets and fortresses should always be prepared for immediate business. Each state should have an ample state guard and these state guards should always be ready for business and the government should see that ample material to enable them to do effective work should be kept in de pots so arranged that railroads could be engaged to hurry both the men and supplies to any needed point. Military training should begin at once In all the advanced graded schools and in all the high schools, with annual maneuvers under United States officers. This kept up for ten years would greatly improve the efficiency of the coming generation for all the works of peace, and would scatter through out the republic some millions of young men who would be ready for service at a moment's call; the knowledge of which fact would cause alj the world's bullying powers to think twice before undertaking any raids upon us. Of course, the army and navy departments would keep up with the advances in the means and instruments for killing men which might be made and should keep ex perts in invention, in science and me chanics constantly busy along all those lines. The expense of all this ought not to be relatively very great, nothing at all to compare with what the cost of war would be if sprung upon us while unprepared. Moreover, it would reduce the danger of war quite 90 per cent. As for alliances. They were once thought to be good things to ward oft wars and so were peace-covenants between nations. The present Euro pean war shows that agreements among nations count for little except where there is a power behind them to enforce them. Goodwin's Week THE SNOW. I I SNOWFLAKE SODAS always fresh, crisp and wholesome at all dealers 10c and 25c cartons also in bulk PACIFIC COAST BISCUIT COMPANY Portland, Oregon The past week has been history- making weather for Morrow county and probably other sections are ex periencing more winter than even we of this mild district. Frank Gilliam the local weather man, reports 64 inches of snow up to the time of go ing to press and as the storm con tinues, it is hard indeed to predict what and where the end will be and the disastrous results to be recorded Certain it is that the stockman who has been unfortunate enough to face a shortage of hay may en counter severe loss if the present spell continues for long. Many stock men have been shut off from their outside supply of hay, corn and al falfa meal since the railroad tie-up and the situation is growing serious ANOTHER FORWARD STEP. Heppner high school, which at the present time has the distinction of being the only standard school in the county, takes another step forward this week with the announcement of Superintendent Hoffman that it has been accepted as an accredited school by the Case School of Applied Sci ence in Cleveland, Ohio. Case School of Applied Science is one oj the fore most schools in this country, and the fact that our local high school has been placed on their accredited list speaks volumes for the progressive work the faculty under the able lead ership of Superintendent Hoffman has been carrying on. work continue. 300,000, or even half a million men (applause on the Republican side) ; that we should increase or provide our fortifications so that our coasts may be fairly, amply protected, and that we should provide a Navy which will be able to defend us on the sea. I have much more fear in the end of war with England than I have of war with Germany. (Applause.) Events are coming rapidly in the world. We may sit by and watt in contentment, and yet it is our duty, as the managers of a great country and a powerful people, to provide for their protection against possibilities well as against certainties. I think, then, that we oght to provide these great forces; that it ought to be considered as an emergency mat ter, entirely apart from the ordinary routine or expense of Government, without regard to partisanship or party lines (Applause.) It England and France and Germany and Italy can consider their problems without party lines, a country like ours ought to be able to sweep aside mere par tisan considerations and try all to stand together loyal to the country, in the effort to aid the Administra tion of the Government. I think, further, that we ought to provide in some way for the building p and the strengthening of our home industries, so that if we shall become nvolved in war we may be able to live within ourselves. (Applause.) And I think as far as possible that question should be considered entire ly apart from former partisan opin ion, in the hope that in some way we may get together in the interest of our country, if we should become in volved in a struggle with a foreign power. T have snoken thus very briefly, not with rhetoric or fancSHphrase, because it seems to me that if there ever was a time in He history of our country when we ought to invite and receive expressions of opinion from all sides, this is one of the times, with a firm determination that out of it we will bring results; a com bination of the opinions of all, with out expressing the views of any, which we and all of our people may stand for, that we may uphold in the future our national honor and our national integrity, and, it seems to me, possibly our modern civilization, which I fear may break down on the other side of the water. Let us try to think that is for the best of our country, what we would do if we had, each one, the supreme authority and responsibility, if it were placed upon each one to determine whether he would take the chance of disaster in the future, or prepare now to pre vent that disaster.
