SOME GOOD ADVICE
Strengthened by Heppner Experience.
Kidney disease Is too dangerous to
neglect. At the first sign of back
ache, headache, dizziness or bladder
disorders, you should give the weak
ened kidneys prompt attention. Eat
little meat, take things easier and
use a reliable kidney tonic. There's
no other kidney remedy so well rec
ommended as Doan's Kidney Pills.
Heppner people rely on them. Here's
one of the many statements from
Heppner people.
Mrs. A. G. DeVore says: "Speak
ing from past experience, I gladly
recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. I
know they are a medicine of merit
and I couldn't recommend a more re
liable one."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy gel
Doan's Kidney Pills the same that
Mrs. DeVore had. Foster-Milburn

THE RED CROSS SLACKER.
Nothing was said at the time, but Morrow county had a
few slackers in the Red Cross campaign. They were slackers
of the worst sort too, for it is well known how these men have
gained their wealth from a land of free and easy people, liberty
loving people. Years of peace and contentment, away from
the autocratic law of a foreign government, has failed to teach
these men the lesson, the lesson of appreciation. It Seems that
the hog spirit sometimes takes possession of a man's soul until
there is no soul left at all; if there is, it is the soul of greed.
The pathetic picture of their country calling for aid for the
men who will be wounded on the field of battle makes no im
pression upon their greed-benumbed brain. What care they
for the man who is giving his life blood to the perpetuation of
the very principles which these sharks have lived to enjoy
these years.
It is very likely that every man of known wealth who had
an opportunity to aid the Red Cross and did not, will be adver
tised far and wide and may the day come when the government
which has been so good to him, will use a force sufficient to
bring him to his knees in repentance. His worldly wealth is
dearer to him than all honor. He stands a good chance of
lointr both.
COMMITTEE FAVORS BITULITHIC.
The street paving committee has returned from a visit to
Pendleton and Walla Walla, where they made thorough investi
gation of the various types of street paing which-have been put
down in those cities. Every member of the committee went
over seeking information from first-hand sources and they come
back feeling that first hand facts have been received.
They learned among other things that .bitulithic paving
stands far and above all other kinds in the estimation of the
people of the cities visited. A test of fourteen years on a Walla
Walla street has demonstrated the wearing ability of bitulithic.
Walla Walla is laying three miles of this kind of paving at the
present time, we are informed by the committee. The State
Highway Commission is using bitulithic, as is evidenced by the
work now started on a" unit of the highway in Umatilla county.
One drawback to concrete appears to be, as-learned by the
cunmittee, that it is liable to crack when laid in large pieces.
After once cracking, the erosion caused by water soon plays
havoc with the street surface and besides the enormous cost of
upkeep from then on, a smooth surface is forever a thing of the

BUICK DESIGN
BUICK VALVE-IN-HEAD POyER
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 colorare exception
al. Deep, tufted black genuine leather upholstery. Cov
ered floor and running board, with aluminum bindings,
giye 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.

The committee had good opportunity to see the results of
macadam. There is a stretch of this kind of
"Villi V,VU X Cli
dleton and Walla Walla and its condition today is something
1 J? 11 T J 1 " O
unspuHKaoie, 11 uie veruici 01 one member of the committee may
be relied upon. In spite of the fact that this road was built only
a few years ago, it has not held up and it is said that as much
money has been spent since it was built in keeping it up as was
the initial cost of building. ,
In the near future the committee will make their report to
the people of Heppner and at that time they will have sufficient
figures and estimates to give a comprehensive idea of what our
citizens will want to do. They will also forward valuable sug
gestions as to plans of procedure, the methods to be used in fi
nancing the cost and suggestions as to whether the bonding
method or street frontage assessment to property owners wiM
be the course to pursue inaising the money. It will probably
be necessary to hold a special election to amend the city charter
and if this is so, a number of oth.er questions relative to the
street paving proposition may be voted upon at that time.
Heppner needs better streets. We can have them if we go
about tye job in a wholly united, concerted way and can get
them quick. One purpose for all will get results.
