Compe tition has been restored and manager are after the business and trying to get the Jump on the other fellow. We have seen conditions change from a '"seller's" to a "buyer's market'- The readjust ment taking place does not Indicate hard times coming. The Manufacturer and Industrial News Bureau predicts that within a few months this country will see, the great est buying- movement of raw materials and manufactured goods that we have ever witnessed. Millions of people have been going- without necessary articles for years waiting for more normal prices. The effect of the present movement will be to treeie out the profiteering and inefficient manufacturers and the laiy and inefficient workmen. Produc tion per man power will Increase which in itselt will enable reductions in the price of manufactured goods. We will again be competition for jobs just as we will see competition to sell goods. This la as It should be and will do away with the hold-up tactics we have been subjected to from both laboring men and manufacturers. The price of labor will not fall In proportion to the decline in commodities but labor will produce more which will offset the difference. There Is absolutely no occasion for a panic - Never was there so much build ing and construction work to be done in this country and the rest of the world and never before was there such a. waiting demand for various lines of manufactured goods. With a generally higher wage ached ule it is Improbable that prices will drop to the pre-war figures and In seek ing the new level they may advance a little above the readjustment drops which will take place. A declining la bor market will eliminate strikes which will materially help in reducing the cost of living. ine i.tst tunc that si:, r. an an aiisenien is entered into.

If It Is Good Take It to Pen- dleton, ' We have been led to wonder, in pon dering it over in our mind during the past week, why it is that when any thing good comes along, It should be ta ken to Pendeton. These thoughts have Lizzie Leads the Way. Mr. Ford simply cannot help being patriotic and unselfish. In lowering the price of his various products to a pre-war basis he admits that he will incur some temporary loss. But. as he says, "The war is over and tt is time . war prices were over," ; This sudden announcement wi)l work hardship in many industries which can ! not do as Mr. Ford has done. Whether It will help or hinder In the general lowering of the price level remains to be seen. One thing is certain, It won't tend to cut down the sale of Ford cars. And just here Is a good place as any to say that, regardess of the academic question as to whether a Ford Is an au- been superinduced by contemplating the I ,omoblle or mere,y a moae of convey jfact that the annual Morrow count. ance, Henry Ford is one of the wonders I . , , , ....... , t of America.

The decline In wholesale commodity prices for U consecutive weeks leaves no doubt that the peak of high prices has been passed. Everything is drop ping from milk to automobiles, lfi spite of the strenuous protests from certain sources that reductions In price at this tacked on to Umatilla county, and the consequence Is that all the teachers of this county will the coming week be compelled to make their pilgrimage to the county seat of Umatilla county, there to spend some three days in at tendance upon the sessions of the insti tute a duty, by the way, that they can not shirk. No doubt m making this arrangement all matters were fully considered by the powers that be, and all claims that might be advanced for holding the In stitute as an Individual affair for our own county, at our own county seat were fully considered and after this full consideration and weighing of the case it was found that all the heavy argu ment was in favor of Pendleton, and we time are impossible.

We will con fess that we are not always capable of grasping the grave matters pertaining to our educational system, but there, should be no reason why fairly good talent should and could not be secured for an Institute In Heppner, and the teachers saved the cost of the extra ex pense of going to Pendleton, and our home folks be given whatever benefits that might accrue from holding the meetings here and bringing the outside folks to our city. This Is only fair and there Is no good reason at all why it should not be so. We confess further that It is too late to make any alterations in the program at this time, but hope that this will be from 16 to $5.50 per case. New Tork, Sept J.

Our Sense of Humor. The Insensibilities of our funny bone are being flouted before the public by the funny old man of the press, Broth er Sam Pattison of the Herald, and all because of the fact that we took ex ceptions to Borne of the mistatements made by him in his paper regarding the Cumrnings meeting some two weeks ago. But pardon us, Brother Pat. We did not realize that you were only trying to be funny. Yes, trying to be funny at the expense of truth and veracity. Oh' well, we suppose a Joke is a joke and anything that appears in the Herald should not be taken, let's say, at least too seriously. Is that It, Pat? NOT1CK. The. county court of Morrow County calls attention of the public to the fact that at its September meeting. In com pliance with the wlshea of a represen tative number of road districts within the county, assembled In the court room at that time and for that purpose, did redistrict the county in order to make the road districts smaller and more suitable to the residents of the var ious districts. A number of the districts are pe titioning the court to call a speclav road meeting In the district in order that the people of the district may talk over the matter of the road situation of the district and vote on a special road tax for the Improvement of spec ial places In the district that may es pecially require it The present regular district money, which Is a iH mill tax. the same as It was before the war, is insufficient to take care of the district needs and a small special tax appears to be the best solution of the problem. Blanks, for the petition may be had by applying to the county roadmaster or the county clerk. Such petition the law requires, shall be signed by three or more free holders of the district and presented to the county court not later ttran Its joh' Li CWillaldJ i g g8F !
