FARMERS & STOCKGROWERS NATIONAL BANK Heppner Oregon HELP YOURSELF More than 130 years ago Benjamin Franklin wrote: "Keep your shop and It will keep you." The stamp of great ness is on Franklin's philosophy be cause it was not alone of his time; it holds for all time. Our ways have changed a bit in the economic life of this republic which the great Franklin helped to build. No longer may every man be his own shopkeeper. Most of us help keen some other fellow's shop tj!d a cr im plement among the ti"1 keepers have become recti. ;j .io they have no hep t:.tui.-.ce . o themselves I. 'v. y y.iULe i ; .. u.--i other names. Nevertheless Franklin's homely say ing is as true today and as easy Jo comply with as it was the day he ut tered it. The United states govern ment provides the way. War Savings and Thrift Stamps, conceived as a war measure and now backed by the government as a per manent policy, give every man, woman and child in America the chance to keep shop. Each person is allowed to put $1000 a year into the business the business of American government. The business guarantees 4 per cent :r annum compounded quarter').

The Mussulman's grief at the fall of Jerusalem is largely centered in the late of the Dome of the Rock. Fo! centuries devout Mohiminiednns havt journeyed- to this' spot, which they count second onlr to the holy places o, iieeeu in religious si an i flea nee. Directly under the rounded dome toptied w ith the Turkish crescent is the sacred rock aiiout which u host of tni oirions -Te'.ri -h. Christian ;w Mo i';in.me(l:m huve hem collected. From this ro. k Molmnimed vended Into heaven on his steed Kl Pom I;, the light c:as. Here also, if tradition is worth ('lyrhins. i-ested X' Mill's ark. and Jacob s:.w the ungotie vision. This snot H 1- miles nearer heaven than any oth er ou the earth, and the Turks ji'-eopt tee old Jewish theory that: this is w center of the earth. Here on the judg ment day will the angel Ciabi'iel stand vtien he .sounds his trumpet. There Is little room for argument over these statements. You accept or reject tiu'm as you will. But Ion;: until Seated h;ive been the learned disser tations to d"-i(le whether this identical sr.it, ulteady overcrowded with asso ciations, is the site of Solomon's tom T'te or of the tomb of Christ. Science now leans toward the former conclti-- n and grants that very likely the r.-ck murks- the place where stood the n'tar of the famous Jewish temple. riven for a confirmed skeptic the place must hold some interest, for the s'ruclure protecting the rock is a worthy rival of the Taj Mahal in beau ty of design. The building is octugon :J like n mosque and popularly called the Mosque of Omar, to the distress ef the well Informed, who point out ttat it is only u shrine ami that the true Mosque of Dinar is a small vault like building in no way connected with the sacred rock. Mohammedan worship is as yet un disturbed by the viceroy of the Chris tians, the chief difference being that the Mohammedan Is now tho tenant and the unbeliever the landlord. ONLY NEEDED TO BE FED B Simple Reason Why Imported Engine Could Not Be Persuaded to. Do Its Duty. The first locomotive used on the Ohumpluin & St. Lawrence railroad came from Europe, accompanied by an engineer who, for some unexplained reason, had it caged and secreted from public view. The trial trip was made by moonlight, in the presence ' a few interested persons, and It is' not de scribed as a success. Later, the im ported engineer made several attempts to set the Kitten for such was the nickname applied to this pioneer loco motive in motion toward St. Johns, hut in vain; the engine proved refrac tory, mid horses were temporarily sub stituted for it. ' Meanwhile, the railro::d officials call ed in a practical engineer from the L'niteil States, who announced that the engine, which was thought to be hope lessly unmanageable, was In good or der and required only plenty of wood and water. His opinion proved cor rect, for iifter ti little practice the en gine attained the extraordinary speed -(i? L'O mih:s an hour !

"The car, to be gin with, will cost $5,000, which ut 6 per cent is ?;',00 a year. If we charge 10 per cent for depreciation it will come to $500 more. A good chauf feur can be had for $125 a month, or $1,500 a year. I have allowed $10 a week for gusoline and $5 for repairs. The chauffeur's uniform and furs will come to about $200.

"My dear," said the father impres sively, "It comes to a standstill, right here and now." Exchange. Ash Trees for Airplanes. The appeal of the Aerial league of the British empire for ash trees for aeronautical purposes has resulted in between three and four thousand trees being offered within the last few weeks, according to "Flight." The government requirements in the next twelve months are expected to exceed 200.000 trees. Scientific American. Elusive Happiness. V'e must remember one i !: i n It is not absolutely m-ressnry to be happy. If is nil very well to talk about haopi ness, but one of the strange contra-de-lions of life is that wo can never find happiness, If v,e search for it. Happiness is c!ii!vo. Ir will cscnpe us, if wo seek to hold- it. Hut if, we go our way, If we refuse to lose our faith, no matter low sr.d v.e mr.y be, no matter how weary or how disheart ened, wo will learn to find happiness In little tliim's. In the reading of n book, in the sinking of a song, in the making of a dress, in the doing of our work. It is the hist thing indeed that is the reul cure for the disillusionment of life that comes to each of us. Work Is the great panacea. If we work, and work well, we shall find much to com pensate us. And if along the way we choose to pretend that dreams do sometimes come true, who can blame us? Exchange. Really Serious. The Newlyweds hud unwittingly chosen their abode In the neighbor hood where scandal was rife. One morning one of the neighbors pent n hoarse whisper over to her chief confidant : "What's the trouble between the Newly weds?" "lier husband tried to keep some thing from her." 'Oh, that's not serious! Men will have their little secrets." "Ah, you don't understand ! This is serious. He tried to keep n dollar and a quarter of his last week's pay." Use Common Sense. In a desire to help food conservation many women go to ridiculous extremes. Children and growing youngsters should be well nourished, war or no war. Mr. Hoover wants us to use com mon sense In our conservation. Put ting youngsters on half rations Is very far from common sense. If you cut down their butler or tugar, Increase their consumption of milk. People's Home Journal. Ford cars are important servants everywhere.
