The jury in the famous Ford-Tribune libel suit, one of the longest and and most tamous on record , has found for Mr. Ford and has awarded damages to the plaintiff in the sum of six cents. This is a small amount when compared to the million dollar sait which Mr. Ford had waged for several months against the Chicago Tribune because that paper had re fered to him as an anarchist, but Mr. Ford feeis that he has been vindicat ed and in that respect has won a victory before the courts. The Tribune probably did not mean that Mr. Ford was an anarchist in fee sense of a to.nb thrower or o.ie who oes a. oat trying to destroy a.I i'onn of government by radical a.ts, but refereJ to him in that lijht more because the Tribune felt that hi v. as anins: the government in rougher between lone and Lexington than it was between Lexington and Heppner. That a Wabash Railroad water tank, operated by eTectricity, is tend ed by a fanner, who turns the switch on in the morning, works all day at his own business, and then turns the switch off at night. For this he was formerly paid $20 per month. Under Government Railroad Administra tion he was classed as an electrician, his time was figured for the entire day and he was allowed $300 a month and' given over $2500 back pay. The poor consumer can begin to look for another raise in prices. They ore after the profiteer again. LAS'D IS CHEAPER HERE.

In fact Mr. Ford admitted several things which open ed the eyes of the public to the smallness of the man. Ford conceived a motor car that our fanners here the folly of useless waste. But straw is not saved in all parts of the country as it is here. Straw by 'he hundred thousand tons was bumtd all over the country hereto fore, but last year the scarcity of feed forced baled straw on the mar ket, and from $5 to $13 a ton was paid for common straw by desperate feeders, who had to winter their stock on something. , So straw for a time meant real money. Taking the country over, there will be plenty of forage without balin? straw, so maybe the straw stacks will ajain blaze on the western horizon. But not if the farmer is wise. At present prices of fertilizer staw, wheat straw, is worth $10 a on. There should be about 50,000, 000 tons of straw from the year's wheat croo, half a billion dollars of raw fertilizer, which will be mostly wasted. Straw will reclaim thin, "blowy" burned out soil, and on such land is worth far more than $10 a ton. Many farmers have proved this to their own satisfaction, and any other far mer can prove it for himself if he from 12 to 30 bushels per acre. The ! land that produced such crops is will only spread a few tons on some selling from $20 to $40 per acre, s of his poorest land, olow it under.

He had begun to lead the peo ple of this country into the belief that he was a man of letters. Yet after all he has admitted that it was his money and not Ford brains at all, that was putting all the big stuff across. Mr. Ford has done well in the world of mechanical endeavor but when he attempts to become a leader in other fields, he is taking in too much territory. We doubt if anyone ever really thought that Henry Ford was an anarchist. We believe that he was sincere. But he admits that he is an "ignorant idealist" so that prob ably explains everything. In the deoortation of undesirable aliens, the United States zivernment is doing a work which will be the ' means of saving lots of trouble and unrest in the future.

In the light ' if pi'ftntc incf pap.l t inner Ha m rood deal, judging by the number of people who went before the courts and had removed from their cogno mens anything that had a suggestive tint of German. Then there must be other objective features to some names. A Mr. Nutt recently cometh into court and pleads that his name be :hanged to Knight. "Playmates call my children Little Nuts, and I want to pick a name that -an't be made fun of," said the har assed Mr. Nutt. We don't blame Mr. Nutt, for truly here are some names that are really provocative. The agonies of lads inflicted with "ancy front names, and suggestive -ear names, have never been under wood; but many a cynic has been developed in the grade schools be ause he bore a name that gave too nuch temptation to the lively imag 'nation of his clever little playmates. Indeed it takes a prophetic parent al eye to name a babe so that forty ears hence the name will not be a urse or a cause for scoffing. Plain girls, given fancy, flowery names that become a mock in their 'ank spinsterhood, know what we mean. Husky, rough neck youths, who vere given some sissy name in their Sabyhood, know what we mean. Though a man can escape some of 'he curse of fancy front names by ising their initials, for the woman 'here is no relief. Mary is a grand old name, and parents who stick to Mary or Jane, ind John and William, and whose ancestors had sense enouTh to choose a family name like. Smith, , Clark or Jones, have given their heirs I md assigns reason to arise and call 'hem blessed. The psychology of the effect of names upon the folks who bear them, has been given slight study, but we are convinced that no mere faltering, struggling human atom ever wrested hrough a weary life with a name like say Percival G. Winterbot I'om, without suffering daily agonies ! hat were as needless as they were cruel.

Recently, a rep resentative of a Heppner business house one that uses a large amount of printed matter in speaking to one of The Gazette-Times firm said, "The printing we have had you do for us is in every way equal to the best we are able to get outside of Heppner. I was surprised to find a small-town shop which does work of such high quality." Of course, we had known that our work was as good as the best, and better than most printing of the usual small-town variety, and we are glad to have our customers recognize it.
