Oregon races a deficit of $6,000,000, partly due to the fact that firm retrench ment of expenditures ordered by the treasury department has made it im possible for the War Loan organiza tion of Oregon to maintain forces of such proportions as to insure the suc cessful raising of the deficit. It is the only federal drive now be ing conducted, and people are not being asked to give their funds, but are simply asked to invest their sav ings in a gilt edge security bringing four per cent interest, compounded. These points were made clear by Harry G. Allen, president of the Ore gon Slate Elks Association who was in Heppner last week. While here, Mr. Allen took the matter up with the local lodge and as a result, a committee, headed by George Thom son has been appointed to carry on the campaign in Heppner.

Gilman, well known local business man. I IS THE ONLY REMEDY The one remedy for the high cost of living is increased production, for whenever the markets are glutted, prices will drop, otherwise, someone will keep marketing a big profit off of the consumer. This is the opinion of Dan P. Smythe, Pendleton attorney and .prominent sheepman of Umatilla county, who has just returned from a two months business visit in Chi cago. Mr. Smythe stated that the effect of the recent attempts to lower the cost ot living was to cause a slump in the markets without making food stuffs any cheaper to the consumer. In some cases, he believes, the retail prices went higher, showing that the middleman took advantage ot the hue and cry to make a little more profit. Western stockmen who are mark eting in Chicago and other eastern cities, were especially hard hit by the unstability of the markets, for the slump came just when they were on hand with their animals, and they were forced to sell at once, although at a loss. Mr. Smythe said: "Business in the east is in a health ly condition and money seems plenti ful. The labor situation, however, is bad. It does not seem so much a matter of wages as hours. The at titude seems to be to make a living without working at all, if possible." The high cost of living probe hit the producer hard but only doubled the middlemas's profits, according to Mr. Smythe. Hogs lost 6 and 7 cents, and cattle and sheep 3 and 4 cents In the Chicago market but the retail price remained unchanged, he declared. "Increased production Is the only cure for the high cost of living," he said. Mr. and Mrs. John R. Olden of Rhea creek, were visitors in Heppner Wednesday. Guy Huston, well known Eight Mile farmer, was transacting busi ness in Heppner on Wednesday. Mrs. Mary A. Bartholomew has just returned to her home In Heppner utter making an enjoyable visit at the home of her son, E. E. Bartholo mew, who lives at White Salmon, Wash.
