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.

Morrow County Pupils Have Chants

Prize.
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.

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.

POOR GAS IS MADE TO DELIVER
HIGH POWER AND SPIN LONG MILEAGE
. 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..
