The commissioned officers for the Heppner Home Guard will be elected at a business meeting of the Guard in the Fair pavilion next Monday ev ening. A large representation of members Is desired. COMMUNICATION Mr. Editor: Will you kindly publish the follow ing communication. Believing that the Home Guard of Morrow county is an organization in which every loyal citizen of Morrow county, has an interest, I take this opportunity of conveying to the peo ple of the county information con cerning this organization. The Home Guard is organized un der the Sheriff and Is subject to his command. The Guard has no author ity to act, unless ordered to act by the Sheriff, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Guard. When a man joins the Home Guard he takes an oath similar to that taken by a deputy sheriff. Each member is supposed to attend drill twice each week, unless excused, and any reasonable excuse will be accepted, as the Guard is made up of busy men, and their business sometimes necessitates their absence from drill. The object of the Home Guard is to protect life and property within the bounds of Morrow county, and to carry out this object, the members of the Guard are giving two nights each week of their time, and in case they should be called upon for active duty In guarding warehouses or wheat fields, their services will be absolute ly without charge. The Home Guards of the State of Oregon have recently been organi zed and John H. Hibbard of Portland has been elected Brigadier General, with headquarters at Portland, Ore gon. The Home Guard organization has received the aproval of the Gov ernor of the State, and Us hoped that the Home Guard will receive active support from the state. In order to become a unit of the Home Guard under the present or ganization, it is necessary to have a company of 65 men who are regular attendants at drill. We have In the Home Guard at Heppner, over 70 members, but not more than 50 are regular attendants at drill. We are in need of more men in order to be come a unit of the State organization and receive support from the state. There are a great many men in Heppner who are not members of the Guard and who ought to be members, and how to get them to come into the Guard is the problem which we are trying to solve. No business man rim make the excuse that he hasn't the time, for we are all busy, but we take time. We make a sacrifice be cause we believe that the Home Guard is a good thing for the county and we are willing to make a sacri fice to help a good cause. Almost every other county in the state lias successful Home Guard organizations, why not Morrow county, where there is so much property to protect and so little protection provided. Let us all Join the Home Guard and make it a success. C. L. .SWEEK, Adjutant, Morrow County Home Guard.

Twenty five per cent rate increases on clas. and commodity freight, will go int.) effect June 25. Railroad fares will he raised to three cents a mile on June loth. Some heavy commodities will he raised over 25 per cent. This is announced today by the United States railroad administration. It quickly follows the announcement boosting railroaders pay, mainly in accordance with the railroad wage board's recommendation. The increases designated are nec essary because they must meet high er operating expenses estimated at from $830,000,000 to $860,000,000 over those of last year. The traffic in heavy commodities which forms a large portion of the railway business will have increases not based strictly on the 25 per cent ruling.
