Stores in Heppner sell for less than the merchants along the Colum bia Highway and much nearer to Portland than this city is. That is what a Morrow county farmer re cently learned when he took his fam ily on a motor trip to Portland. They made the trip in easy stages and stopped at the various towns along the highway. He found that ia every instance, articles of food which he purchased came at a higher charge than he had been paying at home. For many years he had also followed the habit of buying from mail order houses, but has come to the conclusion that if Morrow county is going to get all the things she is entitled to it is going to be necessary to keep every dollar at home that is possible. Therefore he has become an exponent of the "buy at home" idea and is spreading this gospel among his friends and neighbors. Early reports from harvesting op erations in Morrow county point to a good yield. These reports come from the north end of the county where the rainfall is slight and the soil is light. Results thus far are encour aging. CHIPS ON TWO SHOULDERS. "Why is it that no matter where you go you refuse to get along with the business man in your nearest city? asks George W. Kable, coun ty agent for Benton county, Oregon ' Why do you object to working witu him for the interests of the entire county?" "And why do you permit Farmer Smith to do his trading in some other city, thereby alienating him from his own? he inquires, turning to the merchant. "The wet fare of the county is not served by refusing to act together, and so long as the farmer or business man car ries a chip on his shoulder condi tions will not change." It's a pull together spirit that moves a com munity and spells "progress" which improves conditions and increases the valuation of all property. West, Florence. By the way, the Morrow County Fair is scheduled for September It, 12 and 13 this year and it is not too soon for every citizen to begin tak ing his active part to make it the biggest success ever. We might ask some of our out-of- town visitors what they think of our comfort station. We venture the assertion that some of them might refer to it as a "discomfort" station. The idea of the comfort station is uodliness so we fear that the con dition of our comfort station as it now exists, does not present an up lifting influence to say the least. Spring house cleaning slipped by and the Heppner "comfort station1' has been overlooked. Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Citizens of Heppner should be care ful not to repeat the Nero stunt. If we wait too long in effecting an effi cient fire department we may not even be able to save the fiddle. Let's all get together and get busy. ' The airplane is no longer in the early stages of development. It is now at the point of being accepted as one of our valuable commercial assets. Heppner will be behind if she don't at least begin to select and lay out a landing field for the con venience of the many ships of the air which will be making this town a port in the near future. J.
