However, those that did, showed by a strong vote that the time worn phrase of not swapping horses while crossing over, is still very much in vogue. The United State is at war. Nat urally men w ho have made an excel lent record as w ar officials should be retained. Hence the overwhelming vote for both Senator McXary and Governor Withycombe is to a large extent accounted for. Both men have made excellent records and now have an united Republican party behind them to Insure their success In the November election. R. N. Stanfield ran way behind I. the state, but Morrow county gave him a substantial lead over Senator McNary. Being an Eastern Oregon man with interests identical with the people of this section, made Mr. Stan field the favorite candidate in this county. Mr. Stanfield has already demon strated the fact that he is a man big enough to fill a chair in the United States Senate by showing that he is a number one loser and has pledged his full support to Senator McXary. In the county there was but one contest. This was the republican nomination for sheriff. Although Willnrd Horren made a valiant race., one worthy of his opponent, by carry ing seven out of the seventeen pre cincts, E. M. Shutt came out at the finish in style running true to his former record and lead Mr. Herren by 129 votes. H. C. Githens received the democratic endorsement and will be pitted against Mr. Shutt in the November elottion. Owing to the fact that Mr. Shutt made an excel lent record while sheriff of this coun ty in former years, he is a strong can didate, although many have figured that Mr. Githens will run stronger than his party, which he must do of course, if he is the winner. 55 TIME FIGHTS OX THE SIDE OF THE ALL1KS. Military observers report that while the Germans in Picardy and Flap pers are keeping up incessantly their prerirations for a resumption nf their spring offensive, there is as yet no indication that an attack on a large scale is immediately imminent. The longer the delay the stron er the proof that Fritz was dazed and demoralized by his previous drive. There is no question that his armies were badly shot up and the morale of his forces shattered. Another such ordeal, with his military objec tives unattained, would be a terrif fic shock to the German nation. It is vastly important in warfare to measure correctly the strength and resources of the enemy, and equally a mistake to either overrate or to un derrate them. For example, the al lies have made the grave mistake in past years of underrating Germany's economic resources of thinking she could be brought to terms by food shortage and exhaustion of other mil itary necessaries. That expectation has been all but discarded recently, and the allies have about settled down to the belief that the war must be won entirely by the feats of arms. It may be so, but indications are coming out of Germany that economic wastage is telling on the enemy's en durance. The German wireless press admits that in view of uncertainty concerning supplies from Ukraine the 1 The Heppner High School Annual The i9i8 "Hehisch" will come off the press this month.

' 'Hou.se of Reliable Merchandise" bread ration will be reduced from 200 to 160 grammes from June 16, a condition that is seemingly confirmed by a secret circular addressed by the German -government to the German newspapers. The admission is made that the German commissioners have coninced themselves of a dearth of cereals in Ukraine, owing to insuf ficient seeding and the fact that the small property owners have buried their grain. In launching their fierce offensive the Gorman general staff seems to have been harried by two pressing necessities economic shortage and the steadily increasing American ar mies on the battlo front. Time is fighting on the side ofthe allies and the German general staff knows it. Spokesman Review. ioktla::d a wool market. The economy of scouring wool near the field of production is so obvious that it was 110 sooner explained to Chairman Baruch, of the War Indus tries Board, than it was recognized and acted upon. That is an inevit able result of a war emergency which overrules all sectional and political influence. Boston has long held su premacy as the wool market of Am erica because it had the financial power to buy the clip, because It had scouring facilities to place clean wool before the manufacturer and because It is near the consuming market. Portland is now In a position to supplant Boston pajtially in all these respects. It has enough capital to handle the clip, It has scouring mills and it has a steadily growing mar ket among Oregon wool manufactur ers. The time should not be remote when Portland will handle all the wool of the Northwest and ultimately all that of the South as w ell. Boston has an advantage in being the mar ket for imported wool, but Portland has no serious handicap in distance by sea from foreign wool-growing countries and will offer a domestic market for all classes of wool as more branches of the manufacturing industry become established In Or. gon. Saving of freight charges on two pounds of grease and dirt, for j every pound of clean wool shipped East and the consequent economy of transportation facilities arrangements wnich must tell in the end. These developments in the wo 1 tracje are another step In the emanci pation of the Pacific Coast, from de pendence 01: the l-!as-t They trans late into fact the motto, "She files with her own wings." Portland Ore-gonian. EXTHTSIASM AXD RIVALRY. After a 6000-ton ship had been launched at Camden, N. J., Within 27 days after the laying of keel, Charles M. Schwab, director of ship production, was asked, "Can you keep up that gait? Won't your executlev3 and your workers tire?" "Not when they get two essentials," he replied. "These essentials are en thusiasm and rivalry. Virtually the whole secret of my success in handl ing big things may be gummed up in these two words." Men can't be got to endure extra ordinary labor, he explains, unless their enthusiasm is roused. That can only be done by the man who tries to rouse them by setting the pace himself. Mr. Schwab does that, He never asks any man to work "for him," but always "with him." And to keep up the enthusiasm when It i once aroused, wholesome rivalry Is necessary. He has arranged for that by offering prizes and establishing championships for the working gangs In each shipyard, and by encouraging the various yards to surpass each other In speed and volume of work. It's getting results with our ship ping, as every newspaper reader can see from recent production figures. It will get results elsewhere. The principle was used to good effect In the recent Liberty loan campaign. It might well be applied to every phase of our multitudinous war prepara tions. In fact, the war as a whole de mands exactly these principles. It is by enthusiasm and rivalry, carried to the highest pitch, that an army wins battles. It Is by enthusiasm and rivalry on the part of the nation as a whole, against the German nation, that we shall make American ideals of peace and freedom triumph over alien Ideals of autocracy and domination. MEASI RK UP. The Federal Food Administrator is making a final appeal to all people who are patriotic to save wheat. Most people are doing all they caa, but a few do not realizez the need of saving every pound of flour which can possibly be saved. The use of flour for anything but human food is positively forbidden. This means hardship to many. The paperhang iug business is almost at a standstill because it is not allowed to use flour for paste. Many bakeries are barely making expenses because they are so limited in the use of white flour. The supply of old potatoes is still large, but the quality is fast deteriorating. Let us make the largest possible use of the supply while we ran. Would you not rather go hungry than to have some soldier who is fighting for you go hungry? There is a report going around, which has the ear-marks of German propaganda, to the effect that the people engaged in the war work are being paid for their work. The fact is that, aside from a little clerical work, all the war work in this coun ty is being done absolutely without cost to the Government. I under stand that those who have been paid a small amount for clerical work have donated their pay to the Red Cross. The County Clerk, the Sher iff, the County School Superintendent, the Chairman of the Council of De fense, the Chairman of the War Sav ings work, the County Food Admin istrator, and many others have been giving their time and services with out one cent of compensation. Hun dreds of our citizens have been en gaged in the different drives, using their automobiles, giving their time, and contributing their money, with out even a thought of reward. The Red Cross workers have labored without ceasing, and their only thought is to help in the cause of hu manity. When you hear reports such as that referred to above, run them down, and you will find at the bottom a German propagandist. Fortunate ly, through the generosity of the newspaper men, we are able to head off some of the German lies. S. E. NOTSON, Co. Chairman. on which occasion Rev. H. A.

However, after advertising for the horses two weeks In The Gazette-Times, he was able to get in touch with the man who had found them. Ads in The Gazette Times bring buyer and seller to gether. They will find what may have een lost and will save you dollars. Try them. SIIF.F.PMF.X TAKE NOTICE ! I am prepared to take your wool on consignment.

Eight Mile People Show Great Pa triotism. "The Eight Mile people displayed the greatest patriotic fervor I have yet encountered since the war fund drives started," said C. E. Woodson, Heppner attorney who addressed a large audience at the Liberty school house last Sunday afternoon. Mr. Woodson was accompanied by County Agent Brown who also spoke in the Interest of the Second War Fund Drive for the Red Cross. After the speaking, the Eight Mile citizens raised $350 without an effort. The Eight Mile auxiliary of the Morrow County Red Cross Chapter has been doing a most active work and only recently gent In a large sum of money to aid in the county work. Eight Mile has always met its quota in every drive and the spirit shown j Is most commendable. The Federated Church. Sunday School 9:45 a. m.
