WHY NOT A. HOME GUARD?
Why not a home guard for Heppner? Surely there cannot
be one adverse reply to such a question. The move would be in
direct line of patriotic progress and the training which would
be obtained from this source may prove of invaluable service
later on.
There are a number of men within the city who are fa
miliar with military tactics. Some have seen actual warfare,
while others have received thorough training at some of out
best military schools. .
Since the declaration of war, there has been a growing un
rest among young men here who are now students of, high
school. These young fellows are full of pep and their energies
know almost no bounds. Such an organization as the home
guard would give them an opportunity to drill, and at the same
time thev would not find it necessary to sacrifice their school
work at this time.
Merely as a suggestion, we would like to see some of the
Spanish-American war veterans and others who have had mil
. . . - j 1 1 - IT
itarv training, get together and organize tlie Home guara. we
are sure that the ranks of the "awkward squad" would not he
slow in filling up.
THE WOMEN WILL GET RESULTS.
In appointing a strong committee of women to start the
Red Cross organization in Heppner, there can be no doubt
about a strong, successful organization being formed. It will
take a few days to get the preliminary work started, such as
getting the charter. After that, it will be largely a matter of
getting members, and the more members acquired, the greater
will be the scope of the organization's work.
In the large cities, the Red Cross work is being carried on
in a magnitude which will mean millions of dollars and a horde
nf tnpn flnrl women that will be at the Nation's right hand to
assist in this important branch of national sen-ice. Every one
can ao uitir du ana me nwv vt mviuuviomy

Then are nmvards of MX) people m tieppner. r uuy nan
of this number should become members of the Red Cross So
ciety, if we do work proportionate to that of other cities and
towns throughout the Imted States

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER
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.

AUTO PAYS THE BILL.
It is astonshina how few voters seem to realize that it is

On the basis of the present number ot autos, the license

TO THE FARMERS AND STOCK
1 1 i 1
GROWERS OF OUR TERRITORY
In the face of the grave crisis now confronting this nation it Is the
patriotic duty of every citizen to serve his country In the most effec
tive manner' that presents itself. The most effective way for the
farmer to serve his country at this time Is to plant every available
acre of land that can bo cultivated into some kind of food crop for
man or beast. It Is our duty to serve the nation by extending such
financial aid to the farmer as will enable him to till every available
foot of land, as well as promote the live stock industry.
We are prepared to assist all solvent farmers in a financial way, not
only for the purchase of seed grain and money to get their crop In,
but will also agree to finance them through the growth and har
vesting of the crop and until such a time as same can be marketed
conveniently and to a good advantage. The price of grain and hay
as well as cattle and hogs Is bound to be high for some time to come,
and now Is the time to prepare to, seed every available acre, as well
as to Increase the number of domestic animals.
Hemember, this will not only yield you a big profit, but It is your
duty to serve your country In this manner.
Drop In and let us talk It over.
