One of the clearest indications that the United States is mobilizing all its resources and all its citiiens tor war duty is the fact that the scope of the American Red Cross has beea extended until it takes in the millions of citizens in the making, the school children of the land. And the idea of putting the young sters into service is something more than theory, for throughout the leng th and breadth of our country this vast horde of little workers are get ting Into the harness Just as enthu siastically and as systematic as their elders in the Red Cross. That there was and is big work to be done by the children in the struggle for world democracy must have been realized when the Red Cross auxiliaries were extended to the schools. In a proclamation issued to the school children of the United States, President Wilson said: "The President of the United Sta tes is also President of the American Red Cross. It is from these offices joined in one that I write you a word of greeting at this time when so many of yon are beginning the school year. "The American Red Cross has just prepared a Junior Membership with school activities in which every pupil in the United States can find a chance to serve our country. The school Is the natural center of your life. Thru it you can best work in the great cause of freedom to which we have all pledged ourselves. "Our Junior Red Cross will bring to you opportunities of service to your community and to other com munities all over the world and guide your service with high religious ide als. It will teach you how to save in order that suffering children else where may have a chance to live. "It will teach you how to prepare somt of the supplies which wounded sol diers and homeless families lack. It will send to you through the Red Cross Bulletins the thrilling stories of relief and rescue. And, best of all more perfectly. than through any of your school lessons, you will learn by doing kind things under your teach er's diieetlon to be the future good citizens of this great' country which we all love. "And I commend to all school tea chers in the country the simple plan which the American Red Cross has worked out to provide for your co operation, knowing as I do that school children will give their best service under the direct guidance and instruction of their teachers. Is not this perhaps the chance for which you have been looking to give your time and efforts in some measure to meet our national needs." LOOK FOR THE ECLIPSE. Heppner will have a grandstand seat on the elgth day of next June when a total eclipse of the sun take: place. We are fortunate, for we are only one of a few cities in the North west from whence the eclipse will be clearly visible. It takes place at mid day on the Sth and at that time com plete darkness will prevail as the moon passes between the sun aud the earth. Sounds rather paradoxi cal to say that we can see a thing when darkness reigns, but the dark ness itself will be sufficient proof that we are observing a total eclipse of the sun. Other favored towns that will witness the eclipse' are Pocatello, Idaho; Baker, Oregon; The Dalles. Chehalis and Hoquiam,. Wash. Americans should pay no attention to rumors of uprisings and revolts leading to a revolution in Germany. If such does come, so much the bet ter forus, but we might just as well get the Idea in our head once and for all time that we have got to whip a Germany united. We are fighting a race of people who for the past tour generations at least have been fed entirely on this war stuff highly sea soned with the spice of Germanic kultur and other ingredients that have given them the Idea they can lick the world. The kaiser Is not responsible for this business entirely. In fact it is stated on good authority that there are far stronger minds in Germany Than that of Bill Hohenzol lern. So again we repeat, let us pre pare with our united energies for thb task that lays ahead the defeating of Germany and the crushing to an everlasting stand-still this militaris tic spirit which at the present time threatens the destruction of every fa brie of civilization. si.sting your parents lu keeping house hold or farm accounts during the year.

School pupils of Morrow county have a chance to win fifty dollars. How? By getting into the thrift con test which is being held over the state of Oregon under the directlou of the Oregon Agricultural College Extension Department. The prizes, one of which is offered to every county in the state, is off ered by the State Banker's Associa tion tor the best work in thrift. The extension department would call at tention to the pupils that they are not only working for the $50 prize, but will help to win our war for liberty and democracy, as well. According to instruction sent out by the extension service, there are five ways in winning the thrift prize and we herewith enumerate them briefly. - 1. By saving-and depositing in a bank or postofflce (Including Thrift Stamps and Liberty Loan Bonds) an average of ten cents a week or more during the year. 2. By devoting an average of at least three hours a week to home In dustry, including food production or preparation, such as gardening poul try raising, pig raising, fruit pack ing, cooking, canning, sewing, car pentry or any club project. 3. By preparing during the year written work on Thrift and submit ing the same to your teacher, county superlntendant, or to some newspaper for publication. 4. By participating In Thrift pro grams. Including readings, recitations debates or addresses conducted by your school during the year. 5. By keeping personal expense accounts, club project accounts, or as signment of Chalmers Hot Six)ts Arrive in Heppner. Appreciating the present shortage of freight equipment, due to govern' mental needs and embargoes on all points east of Chicago, Messrs. Vau giin & Sons, Chalmers dealers at this point, have taken time by the fore lock placing their orders with the Chalmers factory at Detroit for early shipment of cars. The 5 and 7 passenger Chalmers models now being unloaded are all equipped with the famous Hot-Spot and Rams horn manifold that excited great interest and much favorable comment at all the National auto shows. This great Chalmers feature of gasoline saving and cold weather starting bears the mark of success al ready accomplished In all section of the country. , In addition to thousands of pri vate owners It has also figured con spicuously in several events of Na- tional importance. The first public appearance was at Sheepshead Bay N. Y., when Joe Dawson shattered all records for the 24 hour non-stop en durance run. t Vaughn & Sons will shortly offer the motor-wise public, demonstra tions of these latest improvements In the Chalmer line of six cylinder cars They will also be in a position to ou- er unusual service on all Chalmers models as the Chalmers company has established a new zone office at San Francisco in charge of Georgo Pear son and T. E. Herllly. Mr. Herlily made a personal call In Heppner the latter part of the week, accompanied by Roy Hemphill of the Western Mo tor Car Company, Chalmers distri butors atxPortland. Both were en thusiastic over Dresent and future sales prospects and are co-operating closely with Messrs. Vaughn & Sons In offering 100 per cent sarvice to all Chalmers owners In Morrow county.

IN THE GREAT CHALMERS ENGINE While gas continues to deteriorate in the power it once had it is interesting to observe the skill with which the great Chalmers engine is overcoming the situation. Most everybody knows that poor gas means poor power, but hardly so in a current Chalmers. Poor gas in this car invariably means high power. First, this new Chalmers has a device known as a "hot spot" which cracks up and then heats as hot as toast the raw gas. That means getting gas in better shape than gas was ever put in before for explosion. Then there's the "ram's-horn" manifold which overcomes all the disturbing elements of previous manifolds and hurries the gas thus conditioned into the combustion chambers. The result is that when the spark plugs touch off the gas you get 100 (or very close) results. Little power escapes into the exhaust. Well nigh all the power that the raw gas once possessed is harnessed up ready for use. And you can play with this power at a child's speed or you can run it up as you like only you will note a new quality in the power: a peculiar softness of action that tells its own story high efficiency..
