THE THIRD I.OAX,
The third quota of Uncle Sam's fi
rauoial forces will soon be called to
the colors. 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,
