A "KICK" IN IT
LOCAL ELKS WILL ASSIST
III WAR STAMP DRIVE
Under authority of resolutions pas
sed at the Grand Lodge session of
the Elks at Atlantic City last July,
the Oregon Slate Elks association has
assumed responsibility for he rais
ing of Oregon's quota in the War Sav-
ugs certificate caSFpaign. 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.
RED CROSS ROLL CALL
COMES NOVEMBER 2-11.

sible. Annual memberships at one

ship enrollment, not a money raising
campaign.

County, the directors of the Morrow
County Red Cross Chapter have ap
pointed F. R. Brown. Mr. Brown Is
now laying out plans for an active
campaign.

fell on the stairs of ther home In west
Heppner. Her condition is said to be
improving. Miss Gilman is a sister
ot D. E. 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

Guy Huston, well known Eight
Mile farmer, was transacting busi
ness in Heppner on Wednesday.
