A more modern idea requrea the aub tltutton of "big1" for "little" In the above definition to maunlfy the work and function of the echool to make It worthy to occupy a larger place In the people's thought and affections and this la Imposaible unless the school broadens out until Its activities evolve Into peo ple's universities the school being the community center. The development of the Buanlman community school has been rapid. From a little one-room shack, with sl pupils, to the modern building herewith repre sented In the short term of three years naurally makes the 100 pupils now at tending enjoy their work and the peo ple of the community proud of their ac complishment. Itvardman Is situated on the Columbia river and highway, in the heart of the west extension of the Uma- 100-gallon pressure tank, from which It is distributed throughout the build ing, and at present the town Is being tided over a crisis by securing; water from the school system. The plumbing Is modern, tnrlud Ins; porcelain lavatory, pedestals, white enamel drinking; foun tains and white enamel sinks. The building is equipped with five seta of fire bos and reels. The sewage is disposed of by use of a septic tank, and the heating la man aged by means of a low pressure direct-indirect system, with an auxiliary fresh air supply. Electric service Is accomplished by a 4 K. W., 110-volt generator, four-cylinder gas engine, with self sjarter and stopping device. There is a storage bat tery of 6 cells to supply current when the machine is not in operation. The building Is lighted throughout with this service, and connections are placed for power for sewing machines, electric Irons, cooking utensils and motion pic tures.

Surrounding this region J is the great John Pay irrlgntlon district j offering 300.000 acres yet to be devel-. oped. Naturally the people thought of' the future with optimism end planned for It In their schools. An architect; E, K. Williams, Portland, was employed and the unit plan of construction be- gan. The center unit was the first fin Ished and used a year when the two wings were added. The building Is quipped with Its own water system, pumped from an artesian well into a sewing, cooking, dining, science and manual training. Ttie grounds comprise 10 acres and afford opportunity for spacious lawns, a school garden and play grounds, and when fully developed a complete ath letic field.

A rental charge of S per month is made to each teacher. I The primary function of the public schools Is to make good citlsens. From the standpoint of citlsenship every schoolhouse should be the polling place. This would not only be economical, but . would emphaslxe the Ideal for which the ballot stands. We have tried this. plan in Boardman, and the school Is the! voting place. Last primary election was the last day of school; we had elec tion, observed the closing ceremontes of the school year, had a speaker on po litical economy from the state universi ty, and a community dinner a real time of good fellowship for the people of the community, young and old. In .H.lltlon to the use of the school as a polling place, all the various organisa tions of the community use the Dunning and its equipment for their activities: The ladles' aid society, the grange, the farm bureau, parent -teachers' associa tion, commercial club, community li brary, hay growers association, the North Morrow County Fair association and extension schools. About the only organisation that doesn't use It is the church, and there is some discussion of bringing that In line, where the school auditorium and class rooms and equip ment might be used for religious ser vices, while the small cottage church could be remodeled fur a manBe. The next Important step in the de velopment of the community center idea would be the federation of the above mentioned organizations under a community paid secretary, with a board of directors composed of the heads of each department The secretary might be the principal of the school or some one who could 1 cooperate with him. Community work could then be carried on with a definite plan for all and move steadily forward In accomplishment of civic needs and betterments. Oregon Farmer.

LANGUAGE ENRICHED BY WAR Great Conflict May Be Slid In a Meas ure to Have Revolutionized Our' Methods of Speech. It is generally admitted that the war hag revolutionized methods of speech as It has revolutionised war fare. The soldiers of the trenehea have added more words to the Ian guaKe of simple men thnn would be added In 2.1 yearn of pence. "Strafe," "bllKhty," "cushy" one might fill n page with the slrange language which baa come Into use. The soldiers adopt siting as does a acboolboy, and to use slang Instead of ordinary words suggests a certain de gree of knowlngness and Initlhtlon. It also appeals to the sense of humor, and as the soldiers become hardened to warfare they thrust aside emotions and talk slnng to avoid the old forma of speech which might cause them to think too much. The American who called a ceme tery a "bone orchard" revealed a bit of Imagination and at the same time concenled his real feelings. The sol dier who tells you that at the moment of dnnger he "crept Into the tall grass" means that he slipped away and made himself Invisible and he haa coined an Image as well as a phrase. Together wllh the slang words and phraseg must be mentioned the new words coined or old words used In a new way. A large number of words hag developed from the us6 of air plane; aircraft, nlrmnn, alrscout, pur suit plane, bombing plane, empennage (the stabilizing , plane of the air plane), aileron (n lateral balancing plane), avion, escndrllle (nn airplane unit), etc. Other examples nre the words de scriptive of military tactics. Some of these are Unison (co-operation) be tween forces ; barrage, ontnouflage, lis tening post, gas mask, gas shell.

Whiteis Real Estate and Insurance Heppner - - - - - - - Oregon THE UNIVERSAL CAR Ford Forces Down Prices This newspaper headline extended across the front page of a Portland paper the week of September 3. Another Portland paper carried the head line across the entire front page, Ford Moves to Curb Prices. These announcements in display headlines indicate news value of the probable effect of the new Ford Prices upon many other commodities. This great reduction in Ford Car prices may, directly or indirectly, help solve the high cost of living for you in the near future. With 146,065 orders,on file for immediate delivery and millions of dollars worth of high priced raw material in stock, Ford prices are cut to the limit. This is no sale discount or price concession. It is a radical cut to prewar basis in the belief that this should be done universally at this time. The war started in 1914. All the new Ford prices are below the 1914-1915 prices as the following comparison will show.
