I'Oi.ITI' !, POT SIMMERING.
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.
Court passed Resolution and an
proved Viewers report on Court Re
solution N'o. 13 for a proposed road
across the north end of the County
kn6wn as the "Columbia Highway.'
V. O. Minor appointed as member
of Morrow County Fair Board to fill
place of C. A. Minor heretofore ap
pointed but who failed to qualify.
Court passed an emergency reso
lution providing for the working of
county labor more than eight hours
per tay, but ",ot to exceen except In
extreme cases more than ten hours
per day, but not to exceed except in
payment of double time for such ov
ertime.

of proposed road crossing their pro
perty were denied as to the follow

TVJ'OTOR CARS .this year will be and should be bought carefully, intelligently a
IV 1 well considered investment. 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.
Ewex "SiJc-55" 7-passenger $1775; Coupe "Six-55" 4 -passenger $2850; Town Car "Six-55" 7 -passenger
$32)0; Limousine "Six-55" 7-passenger $3230; Sedan "Six-55" 7-pasvngcr $2850; Larchmont "Six-55"

Knch Battle Plane Needs Extra Equ
ipment and Staff of Skilled Men.
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.
