Also, C. S. Jackson, wealthy publisher of the Portland Evening Journal, started two bbills. The plain people, not having small fortunes to pay the cost of getting I5.0U0 signatures to each petition, and' being busy working in shipyards and getting in crops, finally aban doned all their bills even after many signatures were obtained. Mr. Jackson, having riches, was able to afford the expense of getting enough signatures for each of his two bills, so they go on the ballot, the only two initiative measures to have enough names to get them on the ballot. The two Jackson bills represent pique against other publishers. One is intended to divert revenue from publishers to the postal service, by substituting post card notices for newspaper publication of delinquent taxes. The other bill reduces the charge made for publishing legal notices. Both matters are entirely within legislative control, so no real , necessity exists for invoking a yote of all the people. So far as affording a means for the people to legislate, the initiative might as well not be In existence this fall. But It does afford the means whereby the brute power of , money may place measures upon the 'ballot. Oregon Voter. WORK OR FIGHT. A press dispatch says: "Pltsburg Pitcher Paul Perritt of New York Na tionals received notice from his draft board at Shreveport, La., to show cause why he should not engage in essentiaPemployment under work-or-fight ruling. Third Baseman William McKechnle of the Pittsburg Nation als received similar summons from his board here. Both will appeal." It Is hard to understand how baseball can be figured as a legitimate excuse to evade the work or fight rule when there is crying need for workmen at all lines. ALL HEM TO PRODUCE FOOD. I Speaking of food how much of what you eat do you help tg produc" ! by your own work? Farms need la- bor. The difficulty is not an insuffi ! ciency of actual man power. There I are plenty of men to supply the farms I with help. But the man power is 'applied to other things, and the 1 farms will not be adequately suppli ed with help unless men turn tempo : rarily from their present business or ' employment and work on farms in : their county during the rush periods of cultivation and harvest. If we were not at war you might feel free to disregard this as your personal duty. But we are at war; this is a war need, and you are not free to disregard it. It is the duty of every strong man of farm experience or of farm apti tude who is not now engaged In work to which his personal attention Is constantly indispensible, to go to farms in the agricultural territory adjacent to his town when farm labor needs are urgent, and help produce the food crops which are essential to war winning. You eat every day. Somem an's hard work produced that food. Our We are now ready to take on that work you have been holding back. Our Mr. Johns is back on trie job and we have additional help Your work will be cared for promptly. UNIVERSAL GARAGE HILL & JOHNS, Props. , '-A'.JLTV-.fL., I . f1! W M s&nssi !

Every week chronicles the further loss of prestige of German ideas and culture in the nations of the world. Ten years ago It was the ambition of every American scholar to finish his course at some German univer sity. The Teutonic literature was read in high schools and colleges, and science paid homage to the learning and achievements' of that race. It had won a position at the very top of the ladder, and' its leadership was recognized far and wide. Oregon capital owning its own ships, with the development of a strong merchant marine: main line railroads double tracked the entire distance that they pass through the state; the Columbia River made a valuable channel of transportation from the sea to Lewiston, Ida.; recla mation of 4,000,000 acres of arid land within the confines of the com monwealth; the Willamette Valley put into condition to produce four times its present production through irrigation and drainage, are a few of the plands outlined by Gov. Withy combe in a statement covering the larger vision of development for Ore gon, which he declares should be the aim and ideal of its citizens. 5-5 The changes wrought by four years are almost beyond belief. Everything has been lost and the na tion and government which reached the pinacle of fame, is the most ex ecrated on earth. No one wants anything of the music, literature, science or administrative methods of a gang which develops all arts for the sole purpose of killing and des troying. Many generations will pass before the German people can throw off the curse they have permitted to be cast on them by their leaders. Enterprise Record Chieftain. From a pay roll point of view, the aeroplane spruce operations in the Pacific northwest have suddenly leap ed into the same class as the ship building industry. There are 25,000 workmen in the shipyards of Ore gon and Southwestern Washington, and nearly that same number of sol diers and civilians getting out aero plane spruce. Hearing Mill Be On August 2. The hearing in the matter of the application of Heppner Light & Water Co., upon its application to the Public Service Commission of Oregon for authority to increase or adjust rates, will be held at the Court House in Heppner on Friday, August 2nd, beginning at 9:30 a. m. Much interest is being manifested in this application and it is expeced that the same will be strongly opposed on the part of the people of Heppner, who now feel burdened to the limit on account of water and light rales. To this end the City of Heppner will be well represented at the hearing by attorneys who will defend its interests. New Agent At Depot. J. S. Taylor has resigned liis position as agent at Heppner for the O. W. R. & N. Co., and has been succeeded by Chester Darby of Port land, who arived in Heppner the past week to take up his duties here.
