The Third Liberty Loan will be officially launched on Satur day April 6:h, and by the time the drive closes, the loyal citizens of the United States will have come to the front with three billions of dollars. There Is no question about the ulti mate outcome of the loan drive, no more than there Is auy question about the ultimate result of the war. So long as Prussiauisui shows its ugly face to civilization and continues to threaten the very fabric of our demo cratic institutions, then so long will the people of America continue to buy Liberty Bonds and back up our boys who have gone over to continue the fight for free nations. We have no desire to quote the Kaiser, but we will say "the day" is here. It is the day when loyal Ameri cans demand that the copperheads, those pro-Germans and traitors who, silently and audibly as well, have been sinking the knife of treason in to the back of America, come out and take a fair and just share of govern ment support or take the consequen ces. Morrow county as a whole, is com posed of true Americans. Here there are men and women who have tome from every action of our own j country and from foreign countries! as well. There is no question about the loyalty of Morrow county, but there is some question of a tew of her citizens. We are glad to say these few are out of all comparison with the whole. Hut il cs few have failed thus far to contribute to the war program of Uncle Sam. We don't know who they are in every case, but our l iberty Laan Commit tee knows thsni, everyone. They are men of means. They are men who have enjoyed the privileges of this country in preference to all others and have enjoyed those privileges to their own full benefit in every in stance. The question has been asked: "What is money worth anyway, if we don't win this war?" To those who are loyal the answer is "nothing," but to the disloyal the apswer is "fur me und Gott;" but the latter will be separated from his money sooner or later, if not by the loan route, then by some more forcible means. 1 Heppner is behind these wartimes. We should have a home guard. A home guard will give exercise to the corpulent, military tactics to the en tire guard and provide some means of home defense. We should follow the example set by our progressive sister cities of Condon and Pendleton and organize a home guard. With a system of docks along the 'Columbia river it will be just like dreams coming true for the freight burdened shipper of Interior Oregon. The sooner shipment by water starts the sooner we will have a cheaper freight rate by rail. Old Jupe Pluvius must be aware of the fact that we are fast getting on a war basis. The clock turns up an hour this week and April showers have started the last week in March. Nothing like preparedness. MORROW COUNTY BOYS CAN SERVE. Morrow county boys between the ages of 15 and 18 have an excellent opportunity to serve their country. Labor shortage was never so acute as at the present time and many sheepmen are facing the lambing sea son shorthanded. This is not a time to permit ten dollar lambs to die for the lack of proper attention. It is not only to the sheepman's interest to save every lamb but it is of vital importance to the feeding of a famished world. A suggestion has been made that a number of boys of the high schools of the county might be released for a month's service in the lambing camps lasting from April 1 to May 1. For this month of service, .which would be equivalent to serving our country on the field of battle, credits could be given as if the school work had been pursued for that length of time. Many of the young men would be glad to receive the opportunity to serve their country In this manner. They no doubt would be enthused over receiving the handsome wages now paid for such work and the plan should prove beneficial all the way around, ORDINANCE XO. 175. din a ace to amend ordinance An or No. 93, entitled, "An ordinance to protect the public health and to prevent the spread of infectious and contagious diseases."

Each of us must do more work, save more tim! and Cover More Ground. There are fewer of u left to carry on the Big Business of the country and make it bigger, to organize the war work, to treat the sick, to raise the crops, to meet every need and situation. We've got our work cut out for us. And the- economic answer is the motor car. It isn't a recreation vehicle any longer. It is a Business Necessity. The motor car almost as much as the motor truck is helping to win the war.
