MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER
THE PIOXEKRS
Un-trodden earth is joy to my feet.
The round horizon balm to mv
eyes,
The unfortold I run to meet,
The not-yet-seen is my sought for
prize.
The last of the land I made my own.
I led the way to the farthest sea.
For ages my kind struck out alone
But the last of my kind will it
die with me?
Here I will halt at the end of my
trail
For I've trod the last of the un
trod soil,
But the soul of the pathfinder shall
not fail
It shall struggle on to extremer
toil.
Dimly I vision a new frontier
I strain my eyes toward a virgin
land
Sons of my sons, what do ye here
But still press on at the old com
mand? Here let me stay where my youngest
sons
Turn first their feet to the out
bound trail
Where the road from the known to
the unknown runs
Where the pathfinder's urge shall
never fail.
Written by Dean Eric W. Allen, of
the Department of Journalism, Uni
versity of Oregon.

CHANGING SENTIMENT
Y.M.C.A.
Report comes from the Atlantic
coast that the soldiers now returning
from Europe come with commenda
tion of the work of the army Young
Men's Christian Association. This
was not true earlier in the demobili
zation period. Many then were ar
riving with criticism, and the story
of incapacity of the Y secretaries
went over the country from coast to
coast. Men did not stop to analyze
the situation. The opprobrium was
increased like the proverbial snow
ball. Inve3:ision has discbsad the
truth, and it is now known that while
there were misUkes, and while there
were here and there secretaries who
were ill fitted for their job. the ?reat
majority of the men were of high
character and the service rendered
on the who'.e was of inestimable val
ue. It is not surprising that out of
some eight thousand men engaged
in the work altogether there were
some who were misfits. It is not sur
prising that the stupendous under
taking which the assumption of the
p-rr.y canteen service proved to be,
resulted in many cases of dissatis
faction. The Y. M. C. A. was under army
orders. , It could not give away its
goods as did other organizations. The
army regulations would not permit
it. In the stress of war, the haste
which of necessity characterized the
army work in.Europe when the allies
were being driven to the wall, and;
our troops went into the breach,
made it impossible for the army to
furnish the transportation which it
had guaranteed to the Y when it re
uested that it take over the canteens,
hence there were many instances of
shortage of goods, many times when
the service was poor and the cost
high. The boys now realize the
-facts, and .are ready to give credit
where credit is due.
The American soldier and the
American citizen are fundamentally'
just, and from this time forward the!
Y will be ?iven credit for the mighty
eood that it wrought behind the lines.
Charity will be extended the errors
committed. Humanity is weak, and
the Y organization was human. The
attacks have been often vicious, but
so have been the attacks uppn the
government itself. Much has been
said that will sometime be regretted.

Shipbuilders on the Pacific Coast
are clamoring for the renewal of
contracts cancelled by the Emergen
cy Fleet Corporation. Its true that
when the new contracts are given
out, this west coast should receive
its just share of the business but the
Emergency Fleet Corporation can
not be blamed for revising its entire
shipbuilding program. As Chairman
out the best work at the most reason
able price that will land them. And
then the bill paying public will be
able to gather in some idea what
kind of war profits the shipbuilders
were making for themselves during
the past year and a half. The war
record of the Pacific Coast plants
should put them in the running
pretty strong in the bid for future
business but whether the adminis
tration will hand out any reward for
merit remains to be seen.
The Morrow County Fair Board
will be enriched over $600.00 under
the appropriation for county fairs

Probably we do not know exactly
what President Wilson meant by
"self determination." The peace
conference took away a big stretch
of country in China and gave it to
Japan, with 40,000,000 Chinese.
The president's "self determination"
taffy treated China as an enemy, not
as an ally in the world war. That's
on a par with the Democratic slogan,
"He kept us out of war." Tilla

The government is treating the
farmer handsomely by guaranteeing
the price for wheat this year. And
the consumer is relieved, he believes,
by the assurance that flour will be
cheaper through the reduced price
in wheat when it goes to the flouring
manufacturers. Uncle Sam says he
will take up the slack of the two or
three billion dollars difference, but
we know what that means. Increased
taxation will be met largely by the
wage earner and low salaried in
dividual, so bread in reality will not
be cheaper. A case of "giving at
the bunghole and loosing at the
spiggot."

SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.
Because it is necessary to increase
the tax levy this year more than six
percent over that of the previous
year, a special meeting in School
District No. One, Heppner, will be
held on Friday, June 20, at the hour
of 2:30 p. m.. to determine the mat
ter and take action on the budget.
Notice to this effect is now posted
and attached thereto is an itemized
statement of the amounts necessary
for running the school and makes up
the budget for the year. By referr
ing to the legal advertisements in
this paper the budget figures can be
seen, and we would call attention to
this and urge every taxpayer in the
district give it personal and careful
attention, and that there be a full
representation at the meeting when
the budget comes up for adoption or
rejection.
The Heppner school is advancing
and becoming larger each year. The
time has arrived that it is necessary
to put in additional teachers that the
standard of the school may not only
be maitained but advanced, and the
time of this meeting is offered the
occasion for the patrons and taxpay
ers to become fully acquainted with
what is needed, and to give voice to
their desires.

THERE IS A CHARM A SURPASSING EXCELLENCE ABOUT
Welworth Blouses
THAT IS OFTEN IMITATED
but even though 'tis said that "imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery" imitation is, at best, merely an imitation; and after all, it is
easy to distinguish Welworth blouses for every "Welworth" blouse has
a distinctive "Welworth" label.
We are proud of our connections with
the manufacturers of Welworth Blouses
and Wirthmor Waists; glad to sell their
product to our friends, for we know that
those who purchase will always be more
than pleased with the unfailing combina
tion of durability and style with which
these garments are characterized.
Welworth blouses are smart, becoming and may be had in models
that are quite elaborate with exquisite trimmings or those that are
equally effective in their charming simplicity.

Another line of self-evident excellence is
The Mina Taylor Dress
You only have to see them to recognize their superiority to other
lines of ready-made dresses superior in material, superior in styles,
superior in workmanship. Mina Taylor dresses in Khaki for outing
or camping in gingham or percale for house wear and in finer fabrics
for afternoon wear.
