FORD IS SOT AS ASARCH1ST.
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

That a Wabash Railroad water

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.

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.

straw, so maybe the straw stacks will

But not if the farmer is wise.
At present prices of fertilizer
staw, wheat straw, is worth $10 a

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

United States senator from Michi
gan. 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

' 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

appreciated, and when that appreciation
is expressed it makes it much more
pleasant to do business. 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.
If you are not using G.-T. printing now, let us give
you a practical demonstration of our service and abil
ity. - - A call to Main 822 will bring our man to you.

This great story of the West has for its setting Eastern Oregon and its local color was given by Heppner and lone.
