When the American soldier abroad reads what the literary folk of France and England write about him it must take his mind to a great ex tent off the wrinkled front of grim vlsaged war. There can not help be ing a certain choice humor for the doughboy in being regarded as some thing worth studying and analyzing an interesting and complicated phe nomenon! that has to be "interpret ed." In a recent Issue or a London daily there are two "studies" of the Amer ican soldier as a type. In both of them the discovery was made that the American is, in comparison with oth er kinds of soldiers, something of a dude. Mention is made repeatedly of his "speekless grooming" and of the "clean-cut lines" of his uniform. But the two English "interpreta tions" of the American fighter differ radically on one point. That is with regard to what the Americans them selves would call their "mixing" abil ity. One London writer, a man, rhap sodizes at some length on the sympa thetic nature and the frank friendli ness of the Americans with whom lie had been chumming, while the other, a woman, finds them serenely aloof, dignified and unbending, self-conscious and alert, and lacking the "ma tey" characteristics of the British Tommy, This is a decided shock to us at home, wiio have been taught to consider the frigid and unapproach able Englishman as typical. It may be said in this connection that the English are at least thawing cut sufficiently to adopt a new Amer ican slang bit. They have taken up "attaboy" with much warmth, and f'nd it a most satisfactory condensed phrase of approval. Spokesman-Review. S $ j SOME MAN. I He may wear a last year's straw fat; his finger-nails may need mani curing; his vest may hang a little loose and his pants may bag at the knees; his face may show signs of a wond-day's growth, and the tin din ner bucket that he carries may be full f f dents and doughnuts; but don't you call him "the old man." He's your father. For years and years he has been rustling around to get tfiings together. Never once has he failed to do the right thing by you. He thinks you are the greatest boy on earth, bar none, even though you plaster your hair back, wear smart clothes, smoke cigarettes and fail to bring home a cent. He is the man who won the love and life partner nhlp of the greatest woman on earth Your Mother. He is SOME MAN, and not "the old man." If you win as good a wife as he did you will have to go some. The farmers of the country have in their hands a two-edged sword a gaiust Germany production on their farms and giving financial support to our Government. They are sharpen ing and wielding this powerful In strument, as is seen by their support of the Third Liberty Loan and the Increased acreage on their farms. I.S.S, DlSllES While there has been a lot of en thusiastic work during the past week to put Morrow county over the top in the W. S. S. drive, and many u. the districts have raised their quotas, and quite a number doubled the am ounts asked of them, yet the returns have come In so slowly from some quarters that Chairman Woodson Is at present unable to give the figures showing exact results. The estimate to date Is slightly over $50,000.00, and two principal districts, Lexington and lone, not re ported, as well as a number of small er districts. These will doubtless make good reports, and when all re turns have been made. Morrow's quo ta of $90,000.00 "should be well In hand. At present the districts over the top in the drive for sale of war sav ings stamps, are No. 8, A. Henrik sen, chairman; No. 38, Chas. Cox, chairman; No. 23, S. J. Devine, chair man; No. 19, Frank Glasscock, chair man; No. 34, Ralph I. Thompson, chairman and No. 2S, Phebe A. Bar tholomew, chairman, Heppner dis trict reports $12,(565 of its quota of $16,695, with returns not yet com plete. Chairman Woodson is still optimis tic and expresses the opinion that the final report will see Morrow county over the top fn this drive. It trans pires that there was considerable con fusion in regard to the war stamp drive and it has taken a lot of work to get people straightened out and brought to a realization of the im- portance as well as the valnof this work, both to the government ana the individual investor. Too many have thought it something that was intended for the women and children who had small sums to nvest. Not a few, however have seen that It was even a better investment than Liber ty Bonds, and they have gone the li mit. The Federated (litirrli. Sunday school 9:45 a. m.

Williams, arrived In Heppner from Condon on Thursday evening last and were the guests of the Hepp ner Home Guards at a ball given in the Fair pavilion. The company gave a drill exhibition oti Main street ear ly in the evening that attracted a lot of attention. These men are gather ed from over the state and are under the pay of the Federal government and the State government jointly. It will be their duty to police the state, and after about two weeks of inten sive training at the Pendleton head quarters, they are to be sent out in squads in different parts of Eastern uregon to guard grain neids, ware- houpes and other lines of industry and Heppner will have one of these squads stationed here. They are a determined set of men, well armed and drilled for the work they have to do. The company went on to Pen dleton headquarters Friday by auto. Superb Artoraft Picture to Re Shown at the Star Theatre Next Tues- . duy and Wednesday. Portraying one of those unique characters of the west, with which his name is so Intimately. associated, William S. Hart has in his new Art craft picture, "The Tiger Man," a ve hicle that is bound to be received with pleasure by his countless admir ers. This Is the story of the fierce leader of several outlaws, who long have terrorized the avenues of travel to the gold fields In the early days of the rush to the new El Dorado. In a wagon train on the desert Is 3 pretty young woman, Ruth Ing ram, who is accompanying her hus band to the gold fields on a religious mission. The supply of water is ex hausted and Mrs. Ingram goes in search of aid. She is met by Hawk Parsons, the bandit, who, after hear ing her story, goes to the assistance f the imperilled emigrants. With this meeting, a new light dawns upon Hawk's soul, and he determines to possess himself of this woman. The train is attacked by Indians but the savages are driven away. With the approach of Federal troops of cavalry, "The Tiger Man" realizes that his capture is' inevitable, and he prevents the emigrants from lighting a beacon to attract the attention of the soldiers. He finally consents to this, however, on one condition that Ruth Ingram accompany him. This she agrees to do, and, swinging her up before him on his horse, u. gal lops away. How this woman regenerated him and appeals to the latent good which slumbers in his heart. Is best told by the picture itself, which will be seen at the Star theatre, next Tuesday and Wednesday, July 9 and 10. A wealthy American tourist, ob taining work in an Italian vineyard for a lark, meets the niece and house keeper of the owner, Caruiel Myers in her new Bluebird picture, "The Wine Girl," to be seen at Star Thea tre Friday. A pretty love story is started, re plete with obstacles and troubles cre ated by the wealthy American par ents and a rival, who is a member of the Italian secret societies. Carmel Mjers Is supported by Ken neth Harlan, Rex De Roselli, E. A. Warren and Katherlne Kirkwood. Character parts are undoubtedly the forte of Carmel Myers, Bluebird's youngest star, and in "The Wine Girl," she Is in her element.
