THE PRICE WE PAY.
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.
The fourth liberty loan ia on its
way. '
We can hear the voice from sterass

win.

we may look for his return. How
ever this may be, we hope for each

To Red Cross Workers. ,
The goods necessary to make up
Morrow county's quota ot garments
for October 1st shipment, have ar
rived from the Seattle headquarters.
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.
