ATHENS Lumber Yard t If a small dairy herd yields a nice, little . income, a larger one, with high-class breeds, will prove a source of considerable profit. Eain or shine, small crops .or large crops, wheat at 50c per bushel or at $1.75 per bu shel, your cows will be producing butter-fat and butter-fat means a good, steady income. 1 "Why not increase your herd of milk-cows, or improve it by adding some high-class breeds! If desired, the First National Bank of Heppner will gladly assist in financing such purchases, and you are cordially invited to come in and talk the matter over. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK Heppner, Oregon THE RED CROSS SOCIETY. There is no branch of the service in war time that is more important, or that does' better work ihan the Red Cross. .We Americans realize this, and as a result, Red Cross Societies have been organized throughout the length and breadth of , the Uni ted States. Being a member of the Society does not mean that eaeh and everyone must take to the ijeld as an active Bed Cross nurse. The majority of the active workers are trained men and women. But the average citizen can do little enough, the least being a member of the Society which has certain work to accom plish at home. ! '"" "' ' Heppner "should organize a Eed Cross Society at once. Ev-i ery citizen should become a member of that organization, and we Avould in that manner be able to accomplish a great good. Otherwise our latent energies are wasted, or at least put to no practical use so far as serving our country is concerned. We would like to see something done in this regard, not tomorrow", but today. The Oklahoma man who is going to put goats onto the Mor row county stubble fields undoubtedly has the right idea. In the first place, he knows exactly what he is doing, for he has done this same thing in Oklahoma. In the second place, accord- j ing to his own statement, Morrow county is far ahead of Okla home when it comes to raising goats by this system. The plan was a success in Oklahoma, therefore it should be a much great-j er success in this countv. It begins to look like the goat indus try should be a thriving one here. Besides it will make use of what has been heretofore largely a waste, the tall stubble on our thousands of acres of grain fields. I Heppner has shown that she has a great many , loyal sons who will fight for the honor of the flag. There are many more; here that will go to the front if duty calls. Whether or not the bond issue is the proper thing, Morrow county citizens have determined they will give the matter thorough study in order that they may vote upon the measure intelligently. Once the bill is understood, it will undoubtedly be given the majority vote. , RE-BIRTH OF FREEDOM. President Wilson indicts Germany of the high crimes Of violating the laws of humanity, destroying the peace of the world, attacking the freedom of democracy, intriguing against the domestic tranquillity of a law-abiding neighbor, breaking its pledges to observe its international obligations, slaying the citizens and seizing the property of freindly powers, designing to set up a criminal autocracy over the affairs of the nations. But he does more, much more. He vindicates with irresist ible eloquence and power the high motives of America. He in terprets its patriotic spirit. He defines its ultimate aims for the triumph of democracy over tyranny. He re-dedicates the America which achieved the freedom of one people a century ago to the nobler and more difficult task of emancipating all peoples. The Wilson message is a new Declaration of Independence. The country will respond to it, for failure means National death and if the Nation perishes, it will be because it deserves to per ish. Oregonian. ' . OREGON'S EIGHT HUNDRED. , Oregon is asked .for a quota of 800 recruits to the navy. Will Oregon respond? Most assuredly! This confident assertion is based on faith in Oregon pa triotism; and we shall be. greatly deceived if. that patriotism does not furnish many times 800 of Oregon's sons as occasion may require. Young Americans should consider that the most immediate need for service is in the navy. It is evident from every fact and indication that the fighting we will have to do will be" upon the sea. . ' '' " '. First and foremost, and for the time being, at least, there is where the American task lies! The German submarinemust be dealt with ; it must be; banished from the high seas. The German government Ims left US' with no choice. Preparation for effective naval service is tne first and prime requisite. At this time, therefore, duty calls more loudly for service in the navy than for service in the army; and aside from the con sideration of duty, the' Oregon young man may take thought of the advantages that will accrue to him from enlistment in the navy. Service in the navy is an education and a setting up in manliness. The compensation in money which Uncle Sam gives for the service is the least of the rewards. It is a service that beckons enticingly to the ambitious young' man, and the prompting to render that service is double patriotism and personal improvement. Portland Telegram.
