File on Homestead.
Roy V. Whiteis last week filed on
80 acres of homestead land about
four miles below Heppner. The land
adjoins the Frank Parker place on
one side and the John Hughes ranch
on the other. Mr. Whiteis intends
to take up his residence there in the
near future and will make consider
able improvements. Under the new
homestead act, he can take up an ad
dlUonal 80 acres somewhere else. He
had previously filed and proved up
on a homestead of 160 acres on Hin-
ton creek, three miles above town,
which he later sold.
THE WRITING ON THE WALL.
As the blood of the martyrs was the seed of the Church, so
may the blood of those now being sacrificed on the battlefields
of Europe be the seed of new republics.
Russia's startling revolution may sound the death knell of
the devastating war. In it the hand of God is clearly seen.
An oppressed people suddenly realized their strength and
swept the Romanoffs from the throne.
All Europe felt the thrill of Russia's newborn freedom.
Events quickly followed concession to home rule in Ireland;
a revolution in Spain; a cry for peace in Austria, Bulgaria and
Greece, and more significant than all, concessions by Germany
to the demand for a democratic form of government.
The German Chancellor heard the startling cry in the
Reichstag, "Woe to the statesman who cannot read the signs
of the times," and begged for more tolerance and patience.
Dr. Peter Spahn, leader 6f the Catholic Centre Party, gave
public warning to the monarchs of all the Entente nations that
they were "tottering on their thrones."
In the Prussian Lower House, the leader of the National
Liberty Party offered a resolution to reorganize the House of
Lords by abolishing all privileges of dignitaries.
Thus the war is entering upon a phase of a struggle be
tween the new spirit of democracy and the old and long-established
spirit of imperialism.
' A fortnight after the Russian revolt, the Munich Post said
to its German readers: "In the last fourteen days, the world
has been quite another place through Russia's going over to the
democracy and the entering of the United States into the lists
against us." ' !
An appeal to the GemaA people to overthrow the Hohen
zollern dynasty and 4 ' stop th'6 mi ul murder which is the shame
of humanity " was made at ajmass meeting of Russian work
men, soldiers and deputies.
The rising sun of republicanism is seen all over the world.
It will shine more brightly because of our entrance into the
struggle not for territory, indemnity, or power, but for hu
manity's sake.
In the Divine Dispensation, if, out of this terrific struggle,
we are to witness the rise of new republics from the ruins of
despotisms and monarchies, the world may hope, for the first
time, for a lasting peace, respect for international law and ob
servance of treaty rights.
The rankling jealousies and insatiate ambitions ot ruling
families will cease, for there will no longer be ruling tamilies.
There will be no royal road to power.
The accident of aristocratic birth will not prefer one man
over another. The tramp of the soldier in every capital will no
longer be heard. Shipyards will be busy laying the keels ol
merchantmen rather than of submarines and dreadnougnts;
and pay-rolls will be longer and dinner-pails larger.
The world moves. When the people demand peace and
refuse longer to bear arms, an armistice, arbitration and peace
must follow.
The great nations involved in this war will have power to
form a league of peace at its close which none will dare to op
pose. Let the republics rise and let the people rule ! Leslie's.
Every able-bodied citizen' in Heppner should attend the
meeting in the Opera House Friday (tomorrow) night when ar
rangements will be made to carry on a permanent relief service
in this city to the stricken people of Belgium. If there are
people anywhere who appreciate the value of relief in time of
need it should be Heppner people. Surely we have not forgot,
ten the past so soon. Every man and woman will do their duty.
We are dad to learn that at last some active steps are
about to be taken toward forming a Red Cross Society in Hepp
ner. We move slowly, but now that we are about to do some
thing worth while, let us enter into it with that true spirit
which predominates the Red Cross Societies throughout our
land. . .. '
An article of interest in this issue appear on the front page
and is from the pen of Mathew Gibson, a Willamette Valley
farmer. His description of a part of Morrow county is typical
of the impression made by our county upon the average out
sider.
It is pleasing to note that our Morrow county farmers do
not display the hoggish spirit that so manifests itself in the big
speculator. In spite of the fact that his products are juggled
until one becomes dizzy watching the prices fluctuate up and
down with the general trend up, our farmers have gone along
and sold when they, got ready, and the majority of them are of
the opihion now that wheat is selling for more than, it is really
worth. Yet its hard to refuse the money. There will be lean
years in the future. Its the farmers' day for preparedness.

not the enthusiasm of its salesmen has made the Buick
conspicuous for leadership.

on brake test and is so reliable for rugged service that no
eulogy is necessary among "men who know Buick."

al. Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery, Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
give a trimne8s 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., , . ,

If You Cannot Carry a Gun,
Carry a Hoe
Our country needs the agriculturist as it floes the
.soldier. Food supplies this year will be extremely short
and correspondingly high and it is the solemn duty of
every patriotic American to do his or her share for the
welfare of the eountry.
If you cannot carry a gun in defence of your country,7
take a spade or a hoe and make that ground of yours pro
duce as it never has before, thus helping your country in
your own small way to maintain Its standard of living
and stemming the tide ot high prices which la gradually
engulfing us in its grasp.
Best of all, it will pay you big, in red cheeks, good
appetite, in better health for you and yours, and in dol
lars and cents for what you will have to sell, and through
not having to buy what you can raise yourself.
Your country and your home are calling.
