The proper spirit prevailed throughout last Saturday when the Morrow County Chapter of the Red Cross Society opened its organization m a whirlwind campaign for members. The result is more than gratifying and it speaks much for the spirit which is dominant in the hearts of our majority. A vast majority. me spirit or tne aay was to give ireely. it was a giving m which very little if anything is expected in retum. Our people were thinking of that part of war's horrors which knows of but little mitigation from suffering and oftimes death except through these, the Angels of Mercy who are sent upon the field through the tireless efforts of their active societies throughout the lengil. and breadth of our country. The womanhood of Heppner took the lead in getting such an organization as this under headway and it was these same women who took charge of the campaign in such a creditable manner last Saturday. We are proud of every last one of them. And also, we are proud to state that the citizenry of this town has already started into "doing its bit" in this, the greatest crises this country ever faced. t-t :.rr. PRUSSIAN BLUSTER. That German braggart who presumed to tell a war corres pondent on the west front that Prussia will bend us to the knee in submission before we have time to mobilize our fighting forces, and that the bulk of the $7,000,000,000 bond issue will be paid in indemnities to the central powers, sadly discounts the temper of America today. He has yet to learn that, though slow to anger, the great republic strikes with a fury of aveng ing righteousness when it is fully aroused. Moreover, if he takes the time to scan history he will learn that this country is not in the habit of paying indemnities. It was just a century ago that an intrepid American, speaking for his country on European soil, delivered the ultimatum: "Millions for de fense, but not one cent for tribute;" and so far as the record goes, Americans have held that principle inviolable ever since. "When Bryan prophesied that in the event this country was assailed by a foreign foe "a million men would spring to arms in a single night," the Prussians sensed the folly of that assurance, perhaps, more readily than we. For they knev then what we know now that, without previous military training and the necessary equipment, such a host of volur.te defenders would be a poor match against a veteran modern army of even the smallest proportions. But even so, our sen opiuionated enemies are due to find sorry consolation in the end. Although America is moving slowly, she is gain mcmentum every minute, and when "Der Tag" finally arrives there will be a mighty reckoning for the blustering Prussian and all his kind. In the meantime, such allusions as he chooses to indulge in simply serve to make this country fight ihg-mad, and even this has its advantages. Goodwin's. THE WOOL MARKET. (' The first public wool sales of the 1917 season will be held in this city tomorrow. To date but very little wool has been sold here, but those who have sold, have received satisfactory prices. At the present time the market has an excited appear ance and during the past week values in all lines have increas m1. The demand has been considerably stronger than the sup T)lv and the action of England in refusing to release Australian wool lias added to the boom. Just what the action of the local growers will be at the coins irnrwirrovw. M is rather hard to predict. But it is safe to Bin, u t'-"""' " J n- snv that it rests largely with the price which they are ottered, It is said that eighty per cent of the western wool clip is now rmt. nf the hands of the growers. This means that our local ' growers will sell at still higher figures. Fifty-five cents has repeatedly been refused here. Our sheepmen, who always get the tor) wices. are in a position this year to ask for what they want rather than take what they can get, as has been the case in past years. THE LIBERTY LOAN. Tomorrow, June 15, is the last day in which you may sub scribe to the Liberty Loan. In the few days in this city that were devoted to this glorious cause, a goodly sum of money was subscribed.

Enterprise Record - Chief forty operations from 8 a. m. to 1 tain. p. m. The clinic building is a large four story strue'-r -'"i basement, the latter being u;jci the after treat ment of patients. The first and sec ond floors are for examinations, treatment and minor operations. The third floors contain the library, assembly hall and a large room in which are kept the specimens which have been taken. Every appendix, every tonsil, everything that has been removed from any patient in the last thirty years is there, proper ly labeled and numbered. On the fourth floor Is located the menagerie, consisting of rats, cats, mice, gulna pigs, etc. They are kept for experimental purposes. This work is under the supervis ion of Prof. Rosnaw, one of our most noted scientists. He has produced a serum which will prevent child ren from taking Infantile Paralysis. Considerable advancement has been made along the line of the cause and treatment of rheumatism, ulcer, stomach and gall-bladder disease. The number of operations perform ed in this hospital last year was 10,209, with a death rate of 1.9 per cent. Doctors come from all over the world to see this work, many making it a practice to come every year. One doctor is here from Australia now. Although this is my fifth visit, I find the work as Interesting and Instruc tive as ever, Very truly yours, DR. N. E. WINNARD.

Every Heppner woman who is having backache, bine and nervous spells, dizzy headaches and kidney or bladder troubles, should be glad to heed this Heppner wom an's experience: Mrs. H. Tash says: "A few months ago I was almost down with back ache and bladder trouble. For aer- eral weeks I could hardly get about and I felt so miserable I could hardly walk. My back felt weak and sore and at times I could hardly straight en up after stooping. My kidneys became weak and I was greatly both ered on that account. Since taking three boxes of Doan's Kidney Pills, I have had very little trouble." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Tash had.
