To the Editor:- On the Job for victory and willing tc pay the price! Why? Because whatever that price may be, we can better afford it than we can afford defeat at the hands of the Prussian hordes. Ours is not war of conquest or agression it is a struggle to de termine whether or not the prin ciples on which our nation is founded can endure. It is a test to determine whether that government "of the people, by the people, for the people" shall survive or shall perish forever from the face of the earth. The maintenance of the principles for which our forefathers fought and died means that we shall con tinue to be a free people. It also means that liberty and democracy shall eventually circle the globe. A defeat of those same principles would bring about our subservience to militarism our subjection to that form of government which lionors not principle but the sword whicn weaiizes migni regaruiess oi right which tolerates plunder in stead of providing protection. Can we afford to take up our life under such rule? A thousand times "no!" The price we would pay would be too great. War brings no more poignant cost than the lives of our brave men who leave their homes and native shores never to return. Already there is many a service flag in which the star is one of gold, significant of the sacrifice of some father, husband, son or brother to the great cause. Already we see familiar names In .the daily casualty list and only too well we know that this is just the beginning; that as the battle rages fiercer and longer with our boys pushing steadily to the front, we will see many more such names. Our boys as they go "over the top'' are paying the price the blood price. It is with a pull at our heart utrings that we read of their in domitable courage and determina tion; of how they have aroused the greatest esteem and admiration of their French, British and Italian brothers in arms; of the eagerness with which they wait the command to advance; that the wounded have but one thought in their minds from the time that they are out of the ; fight, and that is to get into it again that they die, if needs be, for i America with a prayer on their lips j for the safety and protection of the . "home folks." WHAT ARE WE DOING TO: BACK THEM UP? We cannot but realize that the more we are united "over here" the Ices will be the toll exacted "over there." ! War is at all times costly. It takes money to maintain armies and to produce supplies. It takes money tc bridge the seas and transport men end materials. Never before have such stupen- cents. We have given liberally at earnings and savings on each, of the three occasions on which the call of our government1 sounded to very loyal citizen. We must continue to give, and to give more.

How ever this may be, we hope for each of them abundant success in their new homes. Sons Estearive Stock Shipments This Week.

Iiexsagtoa School Opened on Sept. 2. The Lexington school opened on Monday, Sept. 2, with all places on tha teaching force filled but one. So far the Directors of School Dist. No. 12 have not been able to secure a teacher for one ot the high school positions. The opening of school there finds every available house in the town taken and the demand going up for more.

It was expected that the allotment would come cut and ready for making up, but this is not the case and the goods will have to be cut at Heppner. But one pattern was sent, bo it is requested that the chapters and auxiliaries will be alittle patient and give time to get the work ready to send out. This will be done just as rapidly as possible so that there need be no delay in getting the work ready for delivery on time. It means, however, that all chapters and auxil iaries will have to be very busy for the rest of this month. There is but one class of garments to be made up for this shipment. The Heppner Chapter will meet for work at their sewing rooms In , the Masonic building on tomorrow after noon. A large attendance is hoped for. Buys New G arford Track. -Jess Coats this week bought a 2 ton Garford truck from Martin Reid, the local agent. Mr. Coats will use the new vehicle for hauling grain and other produce to Heppner, and in doing a general freighting business between town and the outlying country districts. The day ot the auto truck has about arrived in this county and we expect to see them very generally used from now on. W. H. Cronk, H. M. Cummins, S. E.
