The effects of Kaiser Bill are very ,
noticeablo in the Ella district, north
of lone, as viewed by a sheepherder.
It is strange why it would take
such a calamity as the Kaiser is try-1
ing to bring upon us before people
will wake up. When the Titantio ;
went down in mid-Atlantic I sat in j
about the same spot and read of the j
awful calamity. Ella then was a bar-1
ren waste, turned over to the squir
rels, jack rabbits, and a few Irish and
Scotchmen, who thought all it ever
was good for was to herd sheep over.
Fences then were all down, roads
were blocked with dead and green
weeds and houses and barns were in
a dilapidated condition.
But today while out with the lone
demonstrating weeder I read of cal
amities in the North Sea and off the
coast of Ireland that make the Ti
tanic disaster a drop in the bucket-in
comparison with the shipping loss to
day. But the Ella of yesterday has
given away to a great change for the
Ella of today. Does it take great ca
lamity and the fear of Kaiser Bill and
his ruthless destruction to wake a na
tion, a state, or county, or the Ella
district up? No. Is the American
farmer a drone in the time of peace?
No. Is he a coward in the time of
- ' war? No. In Ella, us all over the
... . world, the man that stands for justice

LEND YOUR MONEY
AS FREELY AS THEY ARE
GIVING THEIR LIVES
You don't have to fight, you don't have to die.
But-
Your son does, or your brother who is now across
the way or the kid now in khaki to whom you
used to give pennies a short time ago.
That money you have laid away for "a rainy day"
wouldn't you give every nickel of it to keep a
Hun's knife away from his throat?
Well, the Hun is here, and so is his knife-and so
is the "rainy day" its raining now, raining bombs
and shrapnel upon our boys "over there."

Stamps during 1918.

their lives.

The First Replacement
Regiment of Engineers.
A DIFFERENT ENGINEER ORGANIZATION
This llcftiment was formed IK'cenilier 1-lth, 1917, at Vu.shiiiton
lliu racks, 1). t, for the express purpose of supplying the various Kn
Kiiieer Vnits of the V. S. Army with skilled mechanics und technic
ally trained men,
HOW IT MFKKKS
I'pon enlistment the skilled man is sent through a training course de
signed to adapt his technical knowledge to military needs. Thls'is
divided into two parts:
MILITARY That he may be able to defend himself, tho recruit is
lirst taught the fundamentals of military science. Instruction
in the use of the rifle and bayonet is given until proficiency is
obtained. Strength and health are gained by a system of physi
cal exercise.
TECHNICAL The outstanding feature of the course is the training
given in the Military Trade Schools. Here, under competent in
structors, the Engineer soldier learns how technical skill is ap
plied to the conduct of the war. He comes out of these Schools
ready to take an effective place in the Engineer Unit and to "de
liver the goods."
Everybody Knows What the Engineers Are Doing In
France Today.
Information regarding enlistments may bo had by addressing

.trampled under if he wasn't up and
doing. Ella of today has awakened
. as never before with the grim deter
I mination to do her bit. The chug,
chug of the caterpillar running 22
hours in the 24 is bringing about a
great change. A few years ago all
you could see going along the road
was a cayuse team hitched to a light
buggy, a lady with a few crates of
eggs tied on behind the rig, headed
for lone. Yesterday on the same
road I saw a Caterpillar headed for
lone for a load of supplies. Judging
from the size of the wagon the "cat"
was pulling, our genial merchants,
Rd and Bert, must have had their
hands full. Yet another of the con
trasts of the days of yore. Coming
from the west I could see through a
haze of dust what I thought was a
circus train, but no. It was simply a
Paige oar pulling a feed rack that
looked to me to he about 80 feet long
and a watering trough behind long
enough to water 30 head of horses
and mules. I coudln't be exactly sure
of the length of the feed rack, but in
making the turn in a 60-foot road and
i gate 30 feet wide, the car hooked
nto the gate post. In the driver's
madr ush to be doing his bit, never
looking to see if he could make It,
map, snap, and the Paige plunged
ahead, leaving part of the car and its
bad fast In the gate. But with the
true Yankee genious (that will make
lie Kaiser take notice before long)
md not to be ouHlor.c. he turned the
car, hitched to the front axle and In
'cvr.rse he sosn disappeared over the
nil. I could still give yon another
example, such as a Dodge roadster
-Hilling a wagon and 1800 pounds of
'reight up the Rietmann hill. The
'aterpillar is going to revolutionize
farming in Ella. McMurray, who re
cently bought the Reed place, Is run-
ling a "cat" day and night. He tells
me he has plowed 1500 acres and
iceded 2000 acres already this spring,
artly In Ella and partly In Franklin
county, Washington, where he owns
a large tract of wheat land. Then we
have the Forbes and Baker "cat," the
Wilt's "cat," you might say, all on ad
joining farms and the Rletmann's
with a mule team of 45 head. I
thought the day of the lone demon
stratlon weeder would have to give
way or be plowed under, but it is still
on top, and I might say, "still doing
its bit.
I have had one ewe that has had
ten lambs in four years. Even the
dumb brute is trying to do its bit and
help the soldiers in France over the
top. At this writing wheat and Jim
Hill mustard need rain.
(Editors note. The lone demon
stration weeder referred to by Mr,
Lindsay In the foregoing communica
tion is an allusion to his fine band of
Oxford sheep.
CONTRACT LET FOR
ROAD CONSTIICCTIOX

The Advice of This Heppner Woman
is of Certain Value.
Many a woman's back has many
aches and pains.
Ofttimes 'tis the kidneys' fault.
That's why Doan's Kidney Pills
are so effective.
Many Heppner women know this.
Read what one has to say about It:
Mrs. H. Hughes, Court St., Hepp
ner Bays: "For about a month, my
buck ached and throbbed so badly at
times that I could hardly stand the
pain. The way my kidneys were act
ing was giving me a lot of distress.
I had taken only a few doses of
Doan's Kidney Pills wlien I noticed
a big change. My back felt stronger
and my kidneys acted more regular
ly. One box of Doan's permanently
cured my trouble and since then I
have enjoyed the best of health."
