ADVKRTISI KATKS (ilVKS OS APPLICATION SlBSCRIPTION RATES: On Year 1150 Six Months .75 Three Months . 50 Sinfrle Copies - .05 MORROW I'OI STV OFFICIAL, PAPKR LET HIM LIVE From "The Silent Partner." Note The following poem we clip ped from an exchange and while the horrors the author wishes on Kaiser Bill are horrible enough to make a reader squirm they are no worse than the Kaiser has inflected on thousands of persons in his bloody battle for world power and dominion which ac cording to his diseased brain God has designated him to wield. Such lines as these bring the attention of the reader to the horrors of Prusslanism more forcefully than does the prose stories from eye witnesses which are now appearing in print. All of the horrors named in this poem have been used by the Prussians in their campaigns sanctioned by the Kaiser besides others till more horrible. A long as flowers their perfume give, So long I'd let the Kaiser live Live and live for a million years, With nothing to drink but Belgian tears; With nothing to quench his awful thirst But the salted brine of a Scotchman's curse. I would let him live on a dinner each day. - Served from silver cn a golden tray- Served with things both dainty and sweet Served with everything but things to eat. And I would make him a bed of silk en sheen, With costly linens to lie between, With covers of down and fillets of lace. And downy pillows piled in place; Yet when to its comfort he would yield. It would stink with the rot of the bat tle field. And blood and bones and brains of men Should cover him, smother him and then His pillows should cling with" the rot ten cloy Cloy from the grave of a soldier boy. And while God's stars their vigil keep, And while the waves the white sands sweep, He should never, never, nevefsleep. And through all the days, through all the years, There should be an anthem in his ears, Ringing and singing and never done From the edge of light to set of sun, Moaning and moaning and moaning wild A ravaged French girl's bastard I child And I would build him a castle by the sea, As lovely a castle as ever could be; Then I'd show him a ship from over sea, As fine a ship as ever could be; Laden with water cold and sweet, Laden with every thing good to eat; Yet does she scarce touch the silvered sands, Than a hot and hellish molten shell Should change his heaven into hell, And though he watcn on the wave swept shore, Our Lusitania would rise no more! In "No Man's Land" where the Irish fell, I'd start the Kaiser a private hell; I'd jab, stab him, give him gas. In every wound I'd pour ground glass; I'd march him out where the brave boys died Out past the lads they crucified. In the fearful gloom of his living tomb, There is one thing I'd do before 1 was through; Td make him sing, In a stirring man ner. The wonderful words of "The Star Spangled Banner." ea .. " GERMAN DUPLICITY. F Germany has many strings to her bow, 'many teeth in that serpent's kead of hers. It she. can not win as she wishes with the hammer of Thor, he will stoop to the hornbrook ot Nicholas Machiayelll. Aye in cere monial robes to hoodwink the Al mighty she will chant "The Diabo- lum" and fan the incense downward that it may reach to whom she prays. And now, through a spokesman of hers in this land, Germany again re sorts to cunning duplicity and seeks to divert American money into the rehabilitation of war-stricken zones, Verily, Germany's effort to get Amer ica to indemnify France is l'ke a loot laden highwayman's appeal that Sa maritans shall reimburse the victim he has bludgeoned. "Bleed France white," said Bis marck as he drained five million francs from a people in a state of civil war even while the Prussians besieged Paris. And France is not only entitled to that five million francs, with interest duly compound ed as Lloyd George has intimated by suggesting a reconsideration of the Franco-Frussian settlement but also down to the last centime France and Belgium must have payment for the havoc by the Huns. L. X. Brunswig, president of the southern California "rebuilding France" committee, has come around to the rifiht view and has unequivo cally expressed his conviction that the thing to do now is not to relieve uer many of any ot her responsibilities bv raising money to rebuild French cities (as Germany would like to have us do) but to supply immediate needs of the French people. Los An geles Times. "DIGNITY" OF THE UNDIGNIFIED Th voune nrivate in the National Armv at a Maryland camp who has been sentenced to serve three years in Drison and . to dishonorable dis charge because he refused to do kitchen duty will have ample time in which to reflect upon many things. It is to be hoped that he will see the tolly of disobedience, and also that he will acquire a new view point of the dignity of labor. He is one of a type who think cer tain kinds ot work are "beneath them," and who refuse to do other tasks because they "were not hired for that." They think it may be all right to dig trenches but that they will lose caste in some mysterious way if they wash kettles and peel po tatoes. Experience in the cantonments is opening a good many eyes, and it is commonly being demonstrated that those who are the most fearful that their "dignity" will suffer by any kind of iionest duty have 'the least dignity to lose. Oregonian. Paul V. Maris, state leader for county agents, spent Wednesday In Heppner from his home in Corvallls, being interested in the establishing ot the new county agent here. Mr. Maris is an old Heppner boy, leaving here in 1903.

He will be at the Palace hotel again Wednesday, February 6th. In lone Tuesday, February 5th. MIrs Ruth G.

In last week's items it was stated that S102 was cleared at the Red Cross benefit dance given here Jan. 19. That was the sum taken in and $94 was the proceeds cleared. Much work is being done by the Lexington branch now. The follow ing pieces were sent out in the last two shipments: 25 hospital bed shirts, 35 T-bandages, 600 gauze compresses, 56 pillows, 20 pairs of socks, 11 sweaters, and one bundle of rags. Another shipment of yarn has been received and is being rapidly knit up into sweaters and socks. they took our company to the lower barracks, where we were given ham mocks. A person has to be pretty careful or he will fall out. We stayed at the lower barracks about a week. One is sure crowded for a time there. It one is caught loitering around during drill hours, he is put in the diziy squad and put to work. At the D barracks we could go to bed at any time after supper, but at the lower barracks we couldnt do to bed until 9 o'clock. Our company bad to do radio guard, each man was on for tour hours. " ' While In the lower. barracks we had to unload a barge' of lumber: In the meantime 150 men from the low er barracks were invited to a dance at the Palace hotel. We had to get the barg unloaded in order to get to 'go to the dance. Believe me we made the lumber fly, and we got to go. We were treated fine. Two ladies acted at floor managers, and when we want ed to get an introduction they would lead us to the lady and introduce us. We bad a great time. Punch was 3erved. The next night there was another dance at the Fairmount Hotel. We sure had a fine time there. . The dances were for the enlisted men. One evening in Frisco a bunch of sailors were in a German cafe. They asked the orchestra to play the Star Spangled Banner. The Germans re fused, then a lively time followed. The Germans finally played it and it was a good thing they did. Several policemen and a patrolman were called. I got to see a part of the In cident. 'The marines and soldiers were in it with the sailors. On the 15th of January we were transfered to Mare Island. Again we were called rookies. Here we have lots more time than at Goat Island. Marshall Phelps and Brick Coshow ; are here with the marines. I am now in sweeping detail. ! Before we left Goat Island Sam Turner had to go to the hospital. We had to leave him, but now he is with us again. When he came It was like seeing a relative. They are pretty strict here about our clothing and quarters. Here we ran go to bed at 7:30 and get up at 6. Lovingly, ELRA. U. S. N. Training Station, Seaman Barracks, Mare Island, Cal.

Automobile Show will be held in the new city auditor ium here from February 7 to 13, in clusive. Reduced rates to the show have been granted by the railroads from points in Oregon and the Northwest. In connection with the automobile show this year there will be held also a. big truck and tractor show to em phasise the forward strides made by the motor truck and tractor during ttie past year. , Great stress will be laid upon ttte practical side of the automobile at the coming show. The keynote will be utility and practicability. The auto mobile has long ceased to be a luxury to be enjoyed by the very rich, and has become a business and commer cial necessity. The passenger automobile has freed the farmer from Isolation, has brought bim miles nearer his buying and selling market, and has saved bim many working hours through the ground covering ability ot his car. Similarly, the motor truck and the farm tractor are increasing the amount ot work he can accomplish at actually decreased expense, and are adding vastly to farming efficiency. The Government is encouraging the use of farm tractors to speed up production of food stuffs. All the latest motor car, truck and tractor models will be seen at the show. The committee in charge has issued a special invitation to dealers and all persoss Interested to take ad- vanloDtt t9 tfiA inoKlol raAnoaA roll road rates during the show to visit the show. Getting Something From Nothing ' TT is a conceded fact that it is an impossibility to get some thing from nothing. And in the realms df printdom, among printers who are alive to all con ditions affecting their craft, it is conceded that it is impossible to produce good printing from a poorly equipped plant. Because the management of The gazette-Times realized the truth of this they have added to the equipment of this plant until now there is no obstacle in the print ing line which we cannot overcome. cAny job which does not require specially designed machinery can be handled by THE GAZETTE-TIMES PRINTERY as readily as by outside printers, It nsoas to make this possible to even a greater degree that we have recently added another platen press of the latest make and capable of high speed; the latest type faces produced by the leading typefounders, and have placed our order for additional machinery which "will make our plant 100 per cent efficient.
