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.

"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 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.

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD P(WER
The Tightness of the Buick Valve-in-Head motor and
not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.
This new four has a Buick Valve-in Head motor (with
electric starter) which develops thirty-five horse power ;
on brake test and is so reliable for rugged service that no,
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."
Its lines are beautiful. Finish and color are exception
al. Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings, ,
give a trimness of appearance that is peculiarly Buick.
Body, hood, fenders and running gear are painted a
glossy, long-wearing black; wheels are black with white
stripes.( Times 31x4 inches.
