MORROW COINTY OFFICIAL PAPER
' Germany announces to the world
that she now has a new type of under
sea craft, a cruiser armed with big
guns which goes down under the w.v
ter after the same manner ot tnc
submarine. In bringing forth this
new feature of sea craft, Germany
admits that the U-boats have failed
of their purpose, that tonnage of the
allies has not been destroyed fast en
ough to hamper the progress of the
war activities in either France or
Great Britain. We venture the as
sertion that the allied fleet will con
vert German cruisers into under-sea
craft rapidly, if the Kaiser's fleet will
only come out in the open.

Anyone who has been reading the
bunk that Mayor Harley is putting
out to advance his candidacy for the
republican nomination for governor
must realize what a handsome spec
tacle he would make in the state's
executive chair. The only trouble
is that Harley will distract a lot of
good votes that should go to one of
the regular candidates.
Heppner- will soon have some
streets that will invite hard surfac
ing. Eight inches of crushed rock
laid down and rolled to a thickness
of six inches is a base constructed un
der the specifications of the state
highway department. With the use
of clay soil as a binder, it is contend
ed that the street will stand under the
wear and tear of traffic. Thi3 re
mains to be seen, t'nder any and all
circumstances the present outlay of
money will be conserved only by
hard surfacing and it is possible that
local taxpayers may be assisted with
that part of the improvement under
the $6,000,000 bonding act.
WHAT WILL HARVEST WAGES
BE?
A question that Is heard frequent
ly these days and the sooner a defin
ite answer is given the more rapidly
can the work of supplying help be
carried on. The county agent has
been able to supply a great deal of
help to the farmers of this county
and found the work much easier af
ter several of the counties had ar
ranged for a uniform wage. We do
not expect to be able to supply all
the needed harvest hands but one of
the things which will help most
right now is a definite understand
ing of the situation. Messrs. R. W.
Turner, C. E. Jones, C. R. Pointer,
W. F. Palmateer, L. P. Davidson,
and Jack Hynd are the members of
the labor committee of the Morrow
county Agricultural Council. They
are to receive weekly reports on the
labor situation and are going to be
looked to as agents for keeping the
farmers informed. Arrangements
are being made for having this com
mittee, and as many other farmers,
as will, attend a joint conference of
all Eastern Oregon and Washington
farmers at Pendleton June 10. A
uniform scale of wages will be draft
ed at this conference so there will be
no competition between different sec
tions and so labor will not be lost be
cause of rumors of better wages In
other sections. It is up to the far
mers of Morrow county to see that
they get a fair deal. If you can at
tend the conference, do so, if you can
not go, see that some member of
this committee or the county agent
has your view of the question before
that time. Help simplify this difficult
problem by cooperating with your
neighbor, your committee, your coun
ty agent, and every other agency for
t.ie most efficient use of the supply
of laborers.

THE KAhSKR TALKS TO HELL.
The Kaiser called the devil up
On the telephone one day;
The girl at central listened to
What they had to say.
"Hello," she heard the Kaiser's voice,
"Is old man Satan home?
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone."
The Devil said, "Hello." to Bill
And Bill said, "How are you?
I'm running here a Hell on Earth,
So tell me what to do."
"What can I do?" the devil said,
"My dear old Kaiser Bill,
If there is a thing that I can do
To help you, I sure will."
The Kaiser said, "Now listen,
And I will try to tell
The way I am running
On earth a modern Hell.
"I've saved for this for many years,
And I've started out to kill,
That It will be a modern job.
You leuve to Kaiser Bill.
"My army went through Belgium
Shooting women and children down
We tore up all the country
And blew up all her towns.
"My zepps dropped bombs on cities,
Killing both the old and young,
And those the zepplins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
"I started out for Paris,
With the aid of poisonous gas,
The Belgians, darn 'em, stopped us
And would not let us pass.
"My submarines are devils,
Why you should see them fight!
They go sneaking through the seas,
And sink a ship at night.
"I was running things to suit me,
Till a year or so ago,
When a man called Woodrow Wilson
Wrote me to go more slow.
"He said to me, 'Dear William,
We don't want to make you sore,
So be sure to tell your U-boats
To sink our ships no more.
" 'We have told you for the last time
So, dear Bill, it's up to you,
And if you do not stop it,
You may have to fight us too.'
"I didn't listen to him.
And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the. sea.
"Now that's why I called you Satan,
For I want advice from you,
I knew that you would tell me
Just what I ought to do."
"My dear old Kaiser William,
There's not much for me to tell.
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in Hell.
"I've been a mean old devil,
But not near as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here,
I will give the job to you.
"I'll be ready for your coming,
And I'll keep the fires all bright
And I'll have your room all ready,
When the Yanks begin to fight.
"For the boys in blue will get you,
I have nothing more to tell.
Hang up the phone and get your hat
And meet me here in Hell!

LOOKS II SIMPSON
L. J. Simpson of Coos Bay will win
the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor. Developments of the last few days
Indicate there will be a landslide for
Simpson.
He will come out of Coos and Cur
ry counties with a tremendous lead.
He will carry Southern Oregon by a
big plurality. He will make a good
showing in the Willamette Valley.
Reports from Eastern and Central
Oregon Indicate he will come across
the mountains with a good lead.
With his strong labor support and the
fine campaign he has made in Port
land, he will carry Multnomah
county handsomely which will insure
his nomination.
"Mr. Simpson has made a clean
campaign," said Clarke Letter, Sec
retary of his campaign committee.
"He has attacked no other candidate.
He is a loyal Republican and will har
monize the Republican party. He
represents no faction and will give
all elements in the party a square
deal. An active, able business man,
a friend of labor, a fine public speak
er, a developer and a builder, his
candidacy appeals to all those who
want to see Oregon go ahead. He Is
the strongest candidate the Republi
cans can' nominate, and when nom
inated he can be elected, which iftur
all is the object of the primary; to
nominate and elect a Republican
Governor who will serve th: best in
terests of all the people."
Wool Will Be Scour
ed on Pacific Coast
Portland to Become Big Market of
Pacific Northwest.
(Portland Oregonian.)
Washington, May, 11. Western
wool, so far as facilities will permit,
will be scoured before shipment to
Eastern markets, as has been strong
ly urged by Representative Sinnott
at several conferences during the
past week.
fills step is taken primarily to save
cars which otherwise would be re
quired to haul millions of pounds of
grease and dirt across the continent,
but secondarily because the War In
dustries Board has been convinced by
Representative Sinnott that it is eco
nomically sound business to scour
tills wool where grown and thereby
:void a great waste in freight charg
es. Chairman BarucH and the wool
committee, headed by Lewis Penwell,
of Montana, carefully considered the
facts and recommendations submit
ted by Representative Sinnott, and
Mr. Baruch very promptly recognized
the advantages of scouring wool prior
to shipment. It is intended, at an
early date, to issue an official state
ment encouraging the scouring of
wool before shipment, so far as the
scouring facilities of the West will
permit.
If the West can scour its entire
wool clip, that will be done, notwith
standing the protest of Boston wool
mercrants who have been fighting the
Sinnott proposal from the start.
This attitude of the War Industries
Board Is expected to encourage the
establishment of wool scouring mills
in big wool centers which now have
no scouring facilities. As Portland
is already equipped with a large mill,

the expectation is that much of the
wool ;:rown in the Northwest will be
shipped to Portland for scourinir,
sorting and grading before Uein? sent
to Eastern markets. As the plan pro
mises to work out, Portland will be
come the big wool market of the Far

Many Trained Workers Are Needed
by Army and Navy.
The civilian branches of the Army
and Navy are in need of thousands
of highly trained workers, and before
the end of 1918 these branches must
be increased by at least 20,000, ac
cording to the Civil Service Commis
sion. The Ordnance Department of the
Army needs large numbers of mech
anical engineers, draftsmen, chem
ists, and metallurgists. Thousands
of Inspectors are wanted to pass on
the quality of ordnance,- ammuni
tion, and other supplies. For office
work statisticians, accountants, as
sistants In business adminitration,
and specially trained clerks are need
ed. The Quartermaster Corps wants
several thousand examiners Bnd in
spectors, and passenger and freight
clerks are needed. The Signal Corps
is short of draftsmen.
The Navy has an unlimited num
ber of places for draftsmen, and a
long list of positions for technical
workers. Practically all branches ot
the service need stenographers, ty
pists, bookkeepers, and clerks.
