I will make the following statement and you can draw your own conclusions: March the 10th. Mr. McDuffee went to Pendleton and on the 15th I re ceived the following letter: "Pendleton, March 14th. "Dear Wlllard: "The county court Is to make an or der at their next meeting eliminating the Deputy Sheriff in our office and I thought it only fair that I inform you at this time as you may want to make some arrangements that I do not know of. I presume this is my fault, but it is a matter of economy with them, and I do not know what my at titude will be at this time but there is nothing for me to do but act accord ingly. I am sure you will not be too badly disappointed for it is not by any kick from my own standpoint as to the work, and I hope that in case I need help in outside work to give you the first chance at it. ! "The expectation is that your ser-i vices will cease Apr. 5th, or as soon thereafter as is practical. j "I do not know when I will be In ! Heppner, but I feel sure that you 1 will do me the justice that I hope I deserve. . "With very best wishes to yourself and family for the future, I am, "Your friend, "McDuffee." I referred his letter to the county court and they very emphatically de nied having made any such demands of him. On April 7th, I found a note on my desk from him asking me to tender my resignation. I waited until he came in and then told him that I knew of no reason why I should resign and that It he did, I wanted him to state it. He said that on several occasions I had left the safe unlocked and that the funds had been tampered with. I told him that he knew of the only I time when the safe had been left un lock. and under what conditions. ' He admitted that there was noth ing wrong with the funds. I The statement made by the County Court proves his first statement to. be false-and I will make oath that the one time mentioned herein is the 'only time that I have failed to lock 'the sate when it was my duty to do so, and that I have never tampered with or taken a single penny of the county's funds. ' When he went to Pendleton he placed the handling of the mail and the funds in Miss Shipley's hands and later had the combination on the cash drawer changed, which would naturally infer that he did not trust me to handle the funds, and it has caused some very unpleasant com ments. Now, it Mr. McDuffee wants to prove himself a man of honor he will either prove his assertions or retract them. W. H. HERREN. Glasses fitted satisfactorily by Dr. WInnard, or money refunded. His prices are reasonable, and he is where you can always find him. No charge for testing eyes. tf.

We would call the attention of all iw-Jiool children to the letter of Coun ty School Superintendent Shurte in this issue. The industrial club work ers in our public schools have their place to fill in the big scheme of na tional preparedness. It would also be well if the grown-ups should prof it try the suggestions of Mrs. Shurte. Hardening will take on the aspects of a huge industry from now on. Let us cultivate all the vacant lots. It is poor soil that cannot be made to produce something of value. Again we rise to remark that Hepp r has done nothing as yet toward organizing a Red Cross Society. Now, honestly, isn't it about time we were retting buBy? t-t There is an excellent article in this Issue from the pen of the Fair Board SwTetary.

The difficulty encountered In bring ing the Third Oregon up to war strength illustrates the mistake of relying on volunteer service to bring i our fighting arm Into shape. Every effort has been made to fill the ranks of the regiment. It Is a good regi ment, well equipped under experien ced officers and now In actual service. Yet it lacks several hundred of its necessary war enrollment. What is true of the Third Oregon is probably true of most of the Nat ional Guard regiments throughout the country. The filling of these commands is left practically to chance. Service Is not obligatory on anyone, consequently few enlist, us ing one excuse or another for their failure to do so. A stock excuse is I that there is no certainty of actual ' fighting. In other words the pros pective recruit wants to know exact ly what he will have to do before he enlists. Obviously the government cannot give any precise assurance on Indicated by the statement that it is prepared to facilitate the return to the United States of American sur geons from the base hospitals of France, where the treatment has been in vogue, for the purpose of Instruct ing their American colteagues.

Manager SDarks is confident that Heppner peo pie want good shows and are willing to pay for them. He urges that after giving these pictures a trial, it you like them, to tell your friends and thirhv helo to boost these excellent and C. M. 1 screen productions. That is one way f j of maintaining a high class service, Economic Preparedness The first essential requirement In time of war, or in time of peace, is that the people shall have food. With world conditions as at present this country cannot afford to allow the food supply for the coming year to be de termined by the ordinary influences affecting production. The whole world is bare of' food supplies, and de pendent upon the crop of 1917. The fields of Europe are poorly tended and scantily fertilized, with the result that a short crop is already foreshadowed. Our own winter wheat crop is unpromising. I The price of food this year depends upon the efforts of the next few weeks there should be a general compre . henslon that the high prices of the past winter have been due to failure to grow and store enough food last sum mer. The same experience will be repeated next winter, perhaps more severely, unless production is increased and intensified. Every acre of tillable soil should be utilized, every available pound of fertilizer used to enrich the ' ground, garden cultivation should be resorted to as never before to meet the serious conditions which this country, in common with other countries, is facing for this year. Our entire industrial situation may be disorganized ty high prices for food, and the outlook demands the most serious attention of our people.
