(iHHENS The Lumberman About It I Federal Government is Appealing With Great Success for the En. listment of Boys in the Uni ted States Boy's Work ing Reserve. "Your Country needs you." This appeal from the federal gov ernment is meeting with the phenom enal success in the enlistment of boys under 21 years of age who desire to serve their country in the most com mendable way possible. The enlistment of a boy intlie working reserve means only that he has a desire to be of use to his country and government and is tak ing the means offered by that coun try and government so express him self. The farmer boy who helps his fath er cultivate his acres need not leave the home place in order to receive the credit due him for patriotic ser vice. A boy so situated Bhould fill out an enlistment blank and state at the bottom of same that he is em ployed on his father's ranch and he will be given the same credit as if he had enlisted in the army or had gone away from home to serve his country in the same or some other ca pacity. It Is the intention of the govern ment employment service, which has charge of the assignment work to place as many of the town boys as near to their homes as possible and it is only the excess enlistment of the neighborhood having more help than it needs that will be sent to other districts where there is a shortage of helpers in the harvest. "Your country needs you," is an appeal to the boys to be patriotic and to enable them to show that they have been patriotic because they have served Uncle Sam in gathering a harvest that is the most important one ever gathered by the American farmer. Some 7 Per Cent Money to Loan. Smead & Crawford have seven per cent money to loan on Improved farm lands and stock ranches. If you de sire to readjust your farm loans give them a call. Savings Bank Building, Heppner. A FINAL WORD ON ROADEOND BILL Provides Immediate Construc tion of Permanent Highways Without Increasing Taxes. Much has been said in opposition to the good roads bond bill that has no bearing whatever on the measure and which could be designed only to poi son and prejudice the voters against it. That being the case, the following per tinent facts are submitted for the in formation and thoughtful considera tion of the impartial voter on the eve of the special election June 4th: This road bond bill proposes the Is suance of 18,000,000 twenty-five year four per cent bonds for the construc tion of a system of state-wide hard surfaced highways. The roads to be Improved are designated in the bill and Include the main-traveled roads throughout the state. Adequate revenue has been provided by statute for paying both interest and principal and retire the bonds at maturity without Increasing taxes. The money derived from the increased automobile licenses and the existing quarter-mill state road tax will pay thq interest and retire the bonds and leave a substantial balance tor the construction of other roads not enum erated in the bond bill. The increased automobile license and the state road tax are provided by statutes now in effect and will have to be paid regardless of whether or not the road bonds are voted at the special election June 4th. The automobile owner It willing to pay the Increased license. AH that he asks is that the license money, which has to be paid anyway, be expended in constructing the roads proposed in the bend bill. The automobile owner will provide all of the money necessary to meet the Interest charges and retire the bonds. He fails to see why there should be any opposition to the ex penditure of the money so provided In the construction of good roads, in view of the fact that it is bis money that will pay for the Improvements. All of the money raised from the bonds will be expended under the di rection of the State Highway Commis sion, appointed by Governor Withy conibe. The Commission has announc ed that in expending the fund all sec tions of the state will be considered impartially. A dollar's worth of road construction for every dollar expended is guaranteed by the Commissioners, who have declared that they will pur chase one or more paving plants and lay paving unless satisfactory bids are submitted by paving contractors. Or dinary common-sense business princi ples will also govern the Commission ers in their work of road building. Scarcity of labor and the reasonable ness of war-time prices for materials will determine the time for inaugurat ing work and the scope of actual road construction. Road building will not be undertaken by the Commission un less conditions are favorable. Approval of the road bond bill Juno 4th will be an indorsement of a plan that insures for the state the construc tion of a system of hard-surfaced roads with funds already provided by law and without increasing other taxes. Vote 314 X YES and help "Pull Ore gon Out of the Mud." There will he nn rpHiiftlnn nn w. Pter and light bill for service not used unless notice Is given the company that same la not being used. HEPPNER LIGHT & WATER CO. PROVIDES GOOD ROADS WHERE MOST NEEDED I am for the road bond Issue be cause I believe it will give U3 of Ore gon good roads and at places where we have not good roads now, and where we need them most. There is only one plan before us by which we may obtain some really good and serv iceable roads and that is the present scheme of permitting the state to sell $6,000,000 in four per cent serial bonds to be redeemed , both in principal and interest by the revtnue derived from a state tax on automobiles. If we do not adopt this plan we of Oregon will continue as we have already continued too long, with poorly drained, wretch edly located and miserably surfaced roadB, impassable in winter and im practical and expensive at all times. Rufus C. Holman, President of State Association of County Judges and County Commissioners. WHAT GOOD ROADS MEAN TO MOTORISTS Every motorist has observed how his car accelerates when he goes from an unimproved road to a stretch of hard surfaced; but he may not realize bow large a saving of power and gasoline that acceleration represents. If he were to travel over a hard even sur face habitually instead of .over the average country road, his gasoline bill would be greatly reduced. A motorist In Mississippi has figured out that hard-surfaced roads in his community save him $30 per year in the gasoline consumed by a single car. In the face of these facts, is there any possible reason why every auto mobile owner should not vote for the $6,000,000 good roads bond bill' Poor roads are very expensive things for country communities. The farmer who thinks ti.at improved highways are mainly for the benefit of those who drive automobiles should reflect on the result of a recent investigation by the Department of Agriculture, which finds that the cost of hauling farm produce over ordinary country roads is 23 enta a ton, whereas over hard-surfaced roads it Is only 13 cents.
