TIIK GAZETTE-TIMES, IIEPPXER, OREGON, THI'IISDAY. DEC. iftfi PAf SEVEN Wolf, Wolf, But It Was A False Alarm No Fire The ihepherd of old played an ex ceedingly Rood Joke on the townspeople by crying "Wolf, wolf, there are wolves among my sheep." And he had the lauKh on the foolish townspeople when they arrived in the pasture, clubs In hand, to find there were no wolves. However, one day the wolves came, but the people from town would be no long er fooled, and the herder was out a few perfectly good sheep. These care-free Jokestcrs who find delight In sounding the fire alarm whenever the fancy strikes them are enactlhg the old story "wolf, wolf In a new way. Rut Heppner people can't afford to take any chances. Past ex perience has proven that. Such a mis demeanor as sounding a false alarm should be followed by the strong arm of the law with a heavy penalty and such an act as that perpetrated last Tuesday morning would not soon be repeated. President of Farm Bureau to Hot Lake for Treatment Oscar Ketthley, Eight Mile farmer and president of the Morrow County Farm Ilureau, left this week for Hot take, where he will take treatments for a few weeks. Mr. Kelthley has been suffering from a severe attack of rheumatism and his condition has grown to be serious. . NKW LODUK QI ARTKHS. E. 11.

THIS Ll Ml. (Harvey's Weekly.) There Is, we are told, a "slump" In business. Prices have fallen and are falling; the numbers of the unemploy ed are Increasing; and there Is talk in some quarters of hard times. There fore some of our captious friends of what Is presently to be the Opposition, seeking solace for their election smarts, exploit these things to the n-th degree, and demand to know If we regard them as satisfactory results of the Republican victory, and if, in case there had followed a Democratic victory, we would not have charged them to that party's account; to which we cheerfully answer, both yes and no. We have never been Inclined to at tribute, as fully as some have done, great economic changes to the partisan results of elections, unless the elections In question turned chiefly upon great economic issues. For example. If the tariff were the Issue, and the result of the election meant a reversal of. policy from protection to free trade or vice versa, we should expect important eco nomic effects, nut In the late cam paign and election there was no such dominant economic Issue, and there fore we do not consider all the changes which are now occurring or are likely to occur as due In any way to the re sult on November t In one respect. Indeed, they may thus be tatrlbuted : namely, the fall In prices. That which is surely not to be considered an unwelcome or undasir. able change, may be in a measure due to the Republican victory. That Is be cause the coming of that party Into complete control of the Government Is recognlted to mean a change in fiscal policy which will make an end of the processes of inflation which have un wisely prealled under the proscnt Administration, and which will lead directly to liquidation and to a return to normal conditions. Anticipating that, no doubt many business concerns are making haste to "get In on the ground floor" by being among the fore most to get back to rational standards. To that extent we are quite willing to regard the "slump" as a satisfactory result of the election. Beyond that, however, thoughtful men must realise thnt the present pro cesses In business have or nothing to do with the election, but are a part of the natural and Inevitable progress of events following the cataclysm of the great war. There must be a reaction from the Inflation, and, it Is unpleasant to add, the profligacy, of war time. That reaction will doubtless be marked with a fall of prices, with lower wages and with a docroased domand for some forms of labor, and with an apparent decline of prosperity, chiefly of the profiteering type. It would have come, soon or late, Just the same If the Dem ocrats had won and if Mr. Cox had con tinued Mr. Wilson's policy. We have only to recall what hnppened at the close of the Civil War. There was groat Inflation, with high prices and prosperity for a few years. In 1S72 Ornnt was re-elected and a continua tion of his policy was assured. Yet there followed one of the worst finan cial crises and business dcprk.rons In all our history. That was not because of his re-election, but in spite of It, and because of other Influences. Bo It Is at the present time; though we have no Idea that the "slump" Is going to be anything tike as serious as some are predicting. The decline Is chiefly seen in quartors whore Inflation was most marked. Many employees are being thrown out In some quarters, but there Is an ample demand for them In others. There Is business depression In some cases, but on the whole there Is and will continue to he prosperity, which will be all the more wholesome and substantial because we shall have got rid of the specious and spurious prosperity of wartime profiteering and Inflation.

Ore, December 1. -Better progress Is being made In every part of lie state in the W. C. T. U. children's farm home drive for $123,000. This Is stiown In reports being received at state headquarters during the past few days from county chairmen who give promise that their rull quotas will soon be procured and over-subscribed. Hood River county, with a quota of 700, had practically obtained this sum during the opening day of the drive, and a message received here today from Leslie Butler, Hood River banker and chairman of the county drive, states that field workers have brought ill a total of 1982. With a total of 11000, the city of Ashland bids fair to exceed this quota by the end of the week. On the open ing two days, field workers obtained between $400 and $500, and found, that people generally were In hearty sym pathy with the movement to establish a farm home for dependent and orphan children. "Although the campaign was a trifle slow in getting under way in various counties of the state. It Is now gaining momentum and there Is no question In my mind but that the full state quota will be obtained,' was the assuring pre diction of State Chairman John E. Wheeler. With the $125,000 fund assured, ar rangements for the purchase and es tablishment of a farm home In Benton county will be completed, and the home will be put in readiness for the little waifs of Oregon early In the new year. TIIK HIGHWAY GRADE. Last Monday the Independent report er made a trip over the new highway grading from lone to Jordan Biding In company with Engineer Vinton. The grading has been done in the best pos sible manner, so far as the unprofes sional eye can see. The grades are nil, the drainage perfect, the roadbed sub stantial and above high water mark. The work reflects credit on Engineer Vinton and Superintendent of Construc tion Quale. With the entire route from Heppner to the Oilliam county line surfaced It will be a pleasure to travel by auto. moblle to Portland. While the con summation of that event may be dis tant Judging by the progress In which the state highway commission moves, it Is hoped the road will be completed within a reasonable time before the work so far done will be worn and washed away. lone Independnet.
