The M.-rre.v cia:.;y political pot is yhnvly siiv;,;... ing. but gives promise i f rising t-.. ri-e htuling point most ;.r.y time, a. ilitr candidate has slrkd his ir. t ibial hat into the pro verbial riu;. wringing the total of a vowed candidates up to five at this time. J. J. Wells, w ho has been ser ving the c.iunly efficiently as asses sor seeks a continuation of his offi cial toga, and regardless of the fact that, he is a democrat in a strong re publican county, present indications are that the opposition will have a hard time Pr.Jing a man strong en ough to beat him. Mr. Wells will have the democratic nomination han ded to him and whether or not he will meet with opposition in the re publican ranks remains to be seen. Considerable speculation has been going the rounds also as to who will be Judge Patterson's successor. Al though the Judge has been urged to run again, he has definitely decided that he will not. ' Among those men tioned most prominently to fill the judgeship is W. T. Campbell. Mr. Campbell served as county commis sioner and made an excellent record, especially in road matters. However, no definite statement regarding the matter has been coming from Mr. Campbell. Others who have been "rumored" are L. W. Briggs, Jos. T. Knappenberg and Chas. B. Cox. At the 'present angle, It appears that G. A. Bleakman will have no op position for the republican nomina tion for commissioner, and as the time for filing announcement of can didacy will soon be at hand, the "would-be's" must hurry along. The last two weeks will probably find the woods well filled with aspirants and a lively Contest may result. BOYS MI ST BE GOOD. Along with the bootlegging pro secutions, local authorities have been taxed to their wits end in ferreting out and running down a certain law less elemeut of youngsters of Hepp r.er ranging in age from 14 to 18 years. Petty thefts have been committed, automobiles have been stolen and "ditched" costing the owners not a little money and trouble in repairs; stores have been broken into and ar ticles taken, cash registers rifled and other acts of mischief and wrong doing performed. All these boys, and the officers know pretty definitely who every one of them are, come from well known and respected families of Heppner. The boys for the most part, are good boys gone wrong under improper in fluence of one or two of "the bunch" who hold sway as leaders. An evil suggestion once made, is thought lessly carried to its conclusion and unless the boys are taken in hand and given the proper punishment and advice at this time, the apparent suc cess of their raids will lead them on to bolder things and eventually the state will lose not only some good citizens in the making, but will be out the cost of caring for a criminal element in later years. The peace officers are making ev ery effort to show the boys the errors o f their way and punishment this time will be light. Future mis demeanors will bring down the heavy hand of the law. This paper has the names of the miscreants but for the reason that the boys are being given another rhance, the names are withheld. Le niency will be shown but once, and the parents of these boys should wake up to the fact that they owe I'fin something this time at home, and a visit to the woodshed would be the proper thing. We have no doubt hut what, in some instances, father ;ii, d son have already me there.

Never have motor cars been more widely and genuinely needed. And never have they been selected with auch discrimination and understanding of their real worth and character. . Every man must "wake up and speed up," if the war is to be won. This is the economic" hour of the motor car. It must serve as a utility. Therefore it will be bought as a utility selected for its sound mechanical excellence, its reputation for good service and economical maintenance and for the name of the Company that builds and sells it. It is in that spirit, to serve that end that the Paige Essex "Six-55" is being bought, not merely by patriotic Americans, but by the efficient and discriminating Americans who recognize in this car the best value, the best service and the best ally of their own efficiency.

After three years of warfare the total number of airplanes able to take the air at any one time on either side of the Western front has not been over 2,500. Eachjimnc in the air requires a force of 46 men, two replacent planes on the ground, and one training plane for every pilot who eventually reaches the front, with an extra engine for each plane. The life of a plane is not more than two months, and the engine must be overhauled after each 75 hours. Now that American battle planes are going overseas, tho great problem Is to secure the thousands of skilled mechanics, englnemen, mo tor repair men, wood and metal wor kers needed to keep the planes in perfect condition. This engineering and mechanical force at the air dromes, the flying fields, and repair depots, both here and behind the tines in France, Is a vital industrial link in the chain to air supremacy.
