THE GAZETTE-TIMES, HEPPXER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1918. PAGE FIVE .1. i- formance the Greatest Oakland Virtue The owner of an Oakland Sensible Six never fears to put his car in competition with another. He knows that the car he drives is equal to any demand he may put upon it that performance is its greatest virtue. The high-speed overhead-valve engine of this Oakland Sensible Six delivers at 2600 r. p. m. one full horse power to every 48 pounds of car weight. No motor in the world carries less weight per horse, power than this none is spryer, more efficient, more saving. ' . With a speed range of from 1 to 55 miles an hour and trigger-quick acceleration, it is still very economical. It delivers from 18 to 25 miles on every gallon of gaso line, and its even power draws the greatest possible mile- age from the Oakland's oversize tires. We know you will like this new Oakland for its com. forvits ability and its value. The price is 1200.

IRWIN OAKLAND SENSIBLE SIX PRIVATE HADLEY WRITES TO KARDMAN CHILDREN All Next Week Only ! PoliikJ-WooJ Handl Marine Barracks E, Co. 10, Reg. Field Artillery, Quantico, Va., March 8, 1918. To the Editor ot The Gazette-Times: Oear Sir: Having received several letters from the children of Hard man, and not having the time at my command to answer them individually, I am taking the liberty of asking you to. print the enclosed letter which I have written to them all. As ever your friend, GLENN R. HADLEY. . To the Hardman School Children: I have received so many letters from you children that I will answer them through the Old Home Paper. I have heard all about what you have been doing to help win the war going without sugar, buying war savings stamps; and I suppose you will all try to raise a garden this summer. Food Is what the allies need more than anything else. . The height of my former glory was to roam with a free heart from the John Dav to tbe Columbia River. I knew no other life but that and at the time it seemed good enough for me, for that was home. But not that realm 6f greatness and grandeur has faded to a mere dot. My world has ereatlv enlarged sisce I left you child ren at Hardman. For now I have crossed the continent, and who knows hnw soon. I will have crossed the broad Atlantic. I have witnessed the handicraft of man, in the assemblage nf the ereat fighting machinery, of the manner and methods that have nnrfected this elorious Republic. . Our forefathers fought so that the rlslne generation could enjoy that lib Artv bo aweet. so that Old Glory could wav over a free land: but the rights of the American people have been scorned by the Prussian group, so there was nothing else to do. Either we had to back down like cowards or flht for the rlehts of humanity. Of roiirsA our President chose the latter. We must all fight with him, and it need be, die for the rights for which we are fighting. We will win in the end, for victory we will have, and Old Glory will float nnnn a victorious field someday. But don't lpt vourselves believe that this struggle is close to an end. Steel your hearts for the many hiooay Dai' tloa vot tn cnmft and give to your gov ernment every bit of your strength to sustain the lighting force. But no mutter how wild the storms, eternal .aim shall' come at last. When war- fore is aecomolished, the enemies sub than wa shall return to our homes and to our friends, to watch children erow to man ViaaH An A womanhood, enjoying the privileges of a free country under the skies of an everlasting peace. With love to you all, Pvt. GLENN R. HADLEY.

Portland, March 16 Communities are beginning to complain that on ac count of the inequality of the distri bution of war expenditures they are being slowly but persistently forced into community bankruptcy and are In danger of being branded as slack ers through their inability to meet their apportionment of war subscrip tions as s shown by the following par agraph from a letter from a promin ent banker of Southern Oregon to R. N. Stanfleld: "I am especially pleased with your vigorous statement in regard to get ting more of the government money spent in Oregon for supplies. In this part of the state we are. especially hard hit, because we have very little to sell, and have subscribed very lib erally to all war activities as well as the rest ot the state. The money has been sent out tor the subscriptions, and unless some of it comes back, we will in the near future be unable to fill our quotas and be branded as slackers. Our one principal Industry, the growing of fruit, has been Injured rather than benefitted by the war. We have timber resources here, but thus far there has not been much en couragement locally for devoloplng this." United States Senator George E. Chamberlain ot Oregon Is back In his seat in the senate after an Illness of several weeks, during which time he was operated upon for appendicitis. "It took a surgeon's knife to give me the best rest I've had in 24 years," said Senator Chamberlain. Salem H. A.

The Case Furniture Co 'ALUMINUM WARE DEALERS" ARMY IS MADEIN FRANCE Portland Telegram. On Board Secretary Baker's Spe cial Train in France, Sunday, March 17. "While we are busy at home," said Newton D. Baker, the American secretary of war, in a talk to officers at the American staff school today, "with our industrial preparations and training of troops, our hearts are transplanted to France. My visit has brought me a great uplift in spirit. As a boy takes apart a watch to see how it is made in order to understand the functions of Its parts, I have been taking this army apart." Mr. Baker is making important de cisions in France upon such questions as in his judgment require immediate action. He Is gathering knowledge for future use upon many aspects of the situation of the American army but problems pressing for a settle ment he settles on the spot. When the secretary's train came into the aviation region the sky was darkly overcast and the clouds were of a blue-gray color, which the avia tion observers say constitutes the fin est background for seeing air work. Many monoplanes and biplanes await ed the secretary's arrival upon the field, then with a rush one after an other took the air until toward the end of the morning 100 machines were in flight, and every machine was driven by an American. Individual aviators practiced maneuvers used In combat, such as reversing the direc tion of the flights by turning edge wise upon one wing, spinning in nose dives. Then there were evolutions in flotilla formations of five; after that in squadrons of IS. "With all these machines In the air," remarked a French officer, "we see no more than a tenth of what America has in this one school. You will soon have no more need for French instruction. We have shown everything we know, and your young men have taken to the art with aston ishing facility as well as audacity, nerve and resources. The danger and difficulties fascinate and Inspire them. It must be what you call the sport ing spirit." Secretary Baker discussed with va rious of the aviators themselves the Charter No. 11007 Reserve District No. 12 REPORT OF THE CONDITION OF THE THE FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK AT HEPPNER, IN THE STATE OF OREGON, AT THE CLOSE OF BUSINESS ON MARCH 4, 1018.

He spent hours talking with the men and examining with them the types of machines, some of which he saw for the first time. The closing iucideut o the morn ing's air training was a combat and the escape of one plane when at tacked. The secretary watched with Intense interest. He then visited the machine shops and setting-up shops and the storage buildings. He had ex plained to hi in the school organiza tions, which include eight classes, each with a separate camp. Sharp sporting rivalries exist among them.
