' (Continued from Page Seven) many -wild animal escapades, will also be seen w ith Cole Bros'. World Toured shows. Miss Croft's mixed gronp of performing tigers; leopards, tnd panthers must be seen to be ap preciated. This fearless little woman has seen the wild beasts in the Af rican and Indian jungles, having ac companied her husband on several wild animal hunting expeditions. She has been torn and mangled by fe- rocous beasts time and time again while on these hunting vacations as she is pleased to call her trips, as well as in the steel arena while train ing her pets. These aud many other features will be seen only with Cole Bros'. Trained Wild Animal Show. It is different, it is new, it is original For Economy's Sake BUY ADVERTISED GOODS In these days of Increasing prices we sometimes hear this argument advanced: "If 'So-and-So' didn't spend so much money for advertising they could sell cheaper." No argument could be farther from the truth. Advertising means more sales at a lower cost, which in turn makes pos sible a lower selling price. You can easily sec why this is true. Anything which en titles a manufacturer or a merchant to sell larger quantities of ' a certain article makes it possible for him to buy materials in larger quantities and at a less cost it also enables him to cut costs in every process of his business and he can SKLL FOR LESS. Take a pair of shoes, for example. The'little manufacturer, with an output of 50 pairs a day, who buys leather two or three rolls at a time, and his findings in, proportion, could not possi bly sell as cheap, for the same quality, as if he were making 5000 pairs a day. The cost of the advertising to create demand . is more than absorbed by the saving in quantity buying and big producton. Apply the same thing to the local merchant. It costs him the same amount for heat, for light, for rent, and for clerk hire whether his clerks are "standing around" two-thirds of the day or if they are busy every minute of the time. His expenses are the same in either case. But if he advertises and brings more people to the store, so his clerks are busy all the time, it is very obvious that they will sell more goods, be able 'to buy in larger quantities and his profits will be many times greater. HE CAN THEREFORE AFFORD TO SELL FOR LESS. Advertising lowers selling cost for both the manufacturer and the merchant. In these war times when economy is a patriotic duty, It is safe to assume that your money will go further by buying advertised and branded merchandse from the merchant who also advertises.

That campaign, while it lasted, was a whirl wind and great things were accomplished in a short time. But now we are confronted with a greater privilege. This time we are to do the same thing, only we are to do it on a much larger scale. A few months hence and thousands of the homes of our country will be directly represented upon the bloody battle fields of Europe. We will want our boys to receive the best pos sible care while they are iri the trenches, or later, while they may lie suffering upon the cots in the various field hospitals. But it will take lots of money to carry on tnis great humanitar ian work and that is why Morrow county has been enlisted in the work to help Oregon raise her quota of $600,000 and that is why each and everyone of us has been enlisted in the great work of raising the ten thousand dollars in Morrow county which will be contributed to the cause. Morrow county has a greater chance to do something really ibig for humanity's sake in these next few days. Let every man, woman and child respond to the call of .the Eed Cross. A NEW SPIRIT. A new spirit, a sort of an awakening, has lately struck Heppner. There are many things to indicate this, but one more than any other is the fact that a large number of our citizens are really becoming interested in the street paving proposition. Heretofore this subject has been so far removed from the minds and hearts of our people that they are unable to move with much rapidity toward that acme of street improvement at the present time. But they have got far enough to call for a mass meeting which will be held in the council chambers to morrow night. Mayor Notson has announced that the city council is in the right frame of mind, to give the people what they want in the line of street improvements as long as the peo ple are willing to pay. Xow that is right. Maybe we have been altogether too cen sorious of our venerable city fathers. After all, maybe they have only been serving on guard duty at our purse strings and pocketbooks. So much so that heretofore they wouldn't give ns a cjiance to spend if we wanted to spend. But how the new spirit is even permeating the souls of our city councilmen and it mav be that a great new day is dawning for Heppner. A lay in which rapid strides will be taken in civic improvements of all kinds. At least we will hope that we have not been mis- ir.ken in the signs of the times. . jt See These Cars Five Passenger, six cylinder, 45 horsepower - . - $1220.00 Five passenger, four cylinder, 35 horsepower - - $795.00 These prices are F. O. B. Heppner BUICK DESIGN BUTCK VALVE-IN-HEAD POWER The rightness 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.

From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger. One of the humorous incidents of Registration day epit omizes a certain very general state of mind among civilians. An Irishman, as soon as he had registered, held out his hand ?nd said. "now. where 's my gun?" He was depressed to learn that instr" ': ; ion was -impossible. The amateur fanner gets impatient for harvest time the week after he has planted. And quite a few persons have begun to fret about "not knowing what we were in for when we got into the war" and about "biting off more than we can chew." We have been trained to enjoy a swift life; not endure a slow war. The source of this kind of pessimism is nervousness; akin to the fidgets that make a man cry "Fire!" in a crowded house. It is an insidious malady that has to be slowly healed by the good counsel and steadfast example of the patient people, who are the backbone of the nation: Their quiet valor gradually triumphs over the whimsies of flighty folk, but the very fact that it is quiet and unostentatiousness makes this valor slow to spread. - It is not that ' ' we didn 't know what we were in for " in go ing to war. If we hadn 't known, we wouldn 't have waited until Germany forced us in with the most insulting challenge ever handed to a great nation. Germany drove us in with the boast that she could beat England in a few months with U-boats, and so successful had her U-boats become that it was obvious to all serious-minded Americans that only by a tremendous effort, accompanied by severe losses, could we defeat the submarine campaign. Since we are 3000 miles from the scene, necessarily it will be slow work at first in getting results from this tremen dous effort. But the effort must keep on day after day, week after week and "if you can't boost it, don't knock it." 1 It will be all right, as the French soldiers say, if the folks ffi who don't have to nght can keep up their courage.
