The Paige is now reaping the reward of conservative finan.'Ul
policies and sound business judgment.
The creation and the continued maintenance of the quality
that has made The Most Beautiful Car in America the
overwhelming choice of the public, are due to the advan'
tages the Paige Company possesses. These advantages are:
A capitalization far lower than that, of any other company
ipproximating the Pafge in the sales 'increase during the
past six months in which field, by the way, the Paige
has distanced all competitors.
Scientific management that . keeps overhead expense down to
che minimum.
Huge manufacturing facilities operated by modern, scientific
methods.
Low profit per car.
There you have in a nut'shel the reasons you can buy Paige
quality at so low a figure in these days of high iicea.

BANKING FACILITIES AND SERVICES
MOST people view banks simply as a safe
place for the deposit of funds, conven
ience in handling receipts and disburse
ments, and a source of income from Savings
and Time Deposit accounts. The facilities
and services of the Farmers and Stockgrow
ers National Bank are in reality much broad
er in scope than that.
We are going to outline the functions
of this institution In detail in this .
space from time to time. Watch

OLDS MOTOR WORKS
SHIPS BIG TRAIN LOAD
Sixty Carloads in One Shipment to
Kansas City.
As a fitting climax to a year of
most remarkable expansion and
growth, the Olds Motor Works cele
brated the close of its fiscal year by
loading a solid train load of sixty
Santa Pe automobile cars which
moved out of Lansing Sunday morn
ing, July 29th, for Kansas City.
Train loads are not new to automo
bile business; but such an immense
shipment as sixty cars, many of
which were double deck, has occurred
but very few times among the many
remarkable accomplishments of the
automobile industry. It is particu
larly worthy of note at this time when
some predicted that war conditttns
would effect the motor car business.
The shipment contained 207 Olds
mobiles of different models valued at
$283,761.00. Transportation charges
alone were over ? 15,000. The train
was over half a mile long in fact it
was not possible to photograph all of
it as there was not a stretch of track
with unobstructed view around Lan
sing that was long enough to show
the train.
General Manager VerLinden, takes
a pardonable pride in so practical a
demonstration of Oldsmobile pro
gress and accomplishments, as it tells
in positive terms of the wonderful
strides accomplished by the Olds Mo
tor Works during the year just
closed. Moreover, it serves equally
well as a standard by which to reckon
on Oldsmobiles for the future since
they are now building enough cars to
load such a train from much less than
two days output.
Mr. Colin, local dealer, says this
shipment is but a further evidence of
the popularity of the Oldsmobile, for
while production has forged rapidly,
he is still obliged to place his orders
much in advance to insure prompt
delivery.
Return From Southwest Trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hughes returned
home Saturday from a visit to Texas
and other states of the Southwest.
While away, they visited with rela
tives in Dallas, San Antonio and oth
er Texas cities. Mr. Hughes is of the
opinion that Arizona is the hottest
place he ever visited. From Texas,
Mr. and Mrs. Hughes went north
through Oklahoma and Kansas and
paid a visit to Mr. Hughes' old home
in Missouri.

Mutton Is Sent to Chicago By Km j the
Hrothers; Price Received
Is 1.1 Cents.
What proved to be the heaviest
train of lambs ever placed on the Chi
cago market, was shipped from Gib
bon the first of the month by Smythe
Bros, according to a letter received
here by Dan P. Smythe, one of the
members of the firm from the agent
in Chicago. Despite adverse condi
tions, the animals weighed 86 pounds
and brought 15 cents.
' They were lambed at Arlington and
summered on the Wenaha national
forest at Gibbon. There were about
4200 in the lot, the offspring of
Hampshire rams and half blood Lin
coln Merino ewes, and were undoubt
edly the best lambs ever coming out
of the northwest.
Mr. Smythe believes that the ani
mals would have weighed around 90
pounds had it not been for the fact
that the railroad required 19 hours
to move them from Gibbon to Wallu
la, a distance of 75 miles and that
they were off feed for about three
days at one time. At that, they made
a remarkable showing, he considers,
for the reason that the late spring
probably stunted theif growth to
some extent.
The train was in charge of Marion
Van Sthoaick, Smythe Bros, foreman.

RUNAWAY TEAM TAKES
PART IN IMPROVEMENT
The equine element of our popula
tion are getting the spirit and have
entered into the crusade to clean up
Heppner proper in regard to the old
wooden awnings that have been a dis
grace to the town these many years.
Saturday afternoon a team, which
we understand belongs to Bob Thom
son, took fright at something back of
the Palace hotel and made a bee line
across the street to the Herald of
fice. Whether they were seeking ref
uge in the Herald office or not, we
have not learned, but we do know
that they tore down all the wooden
awnings that formerly adorned the
front of that place and they did a job
of it as good as any carpenter.
1 was a lucky thing that none of
our citizens were passing by there at
the time or someone might have bene
hurt by the falling posts and boards.
Current events were taking place in
a close-Vicinity of the press for a few
minutes and brother Pattison didn't
even have to get up out of his office
chair to chronicle events.
Mr. Thompson may be induced to
loan his horses to several other prop
erty owners of the city in cleaning up
their premises. Their first job will
surely recommend them for future
orders.
Houses Are Scarce.
Houses for rent in Heppner were
never as scarce as at the present time
In fact, right today there is not a va
cant house in the town. We know of
one man who has been striving stead
ily for three weeks to secure a house
for himself and family during the
winter. He has not succeeded yet
in getting located. If this condition
lasts for a month or more, the situa
tion will be a hard one to deal with.
From present Indications, many peo
ple will pass the winter in tents here
if some provision is not made for
proper hpusing between now and winter.

On Trip to Yellowstone.
Hugh E. Bran, assistant cashier of
the First National Bank, left last Sat
urday in his Chalmers roadster on a
trip to Yellowstone National Park.
He expects to be gone about two
weeks, and the greater part of this
time will be spent at the Park.
Spray People Married.
Ralph' Cecil, formerly of this city,
was married last Saturday evening to
Miss Ruby Dennlson of Spray. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. H.
A. Noyes, of the Federated church at
the home of the groom's sister, Mrs.
J. O. Rasmus. They will make their
home at Spray.
Earl Caldwell of Hermiston was a
visitor in Heppner last Friday.
