A brilliant young man asked J. W.
Johnson, treasurer of the Great Wes
tern Electric Co., for a job and the
first thing Johnson Inquired, accord
ing to Forbes' Magazine, was:
"Do you believe in God?"
The young man said no, that he
had tried to find God with his intel
lect and failed.
"You have failed because you
tried to find Him with your intellect.

Those invested with public author
iry from governor to road supervisor
should be made to realize that this is
no time for increased burdens, but
rather that they will be held to strict
account for failure to avail of every
opportunity to increase efficiency and
reduce the cost of government.
It is said of the politician that he
is the only animal known to zoology
that can lay both ears to the ground
at the same time. With this advan

hear if not heed the rumblings of dis-
ontent and the appeals for relief
"A few vears ago a conaet arrived i from an over-burdened populace, be-
in the eastern sky. Astronomers
told us that it would be visible about
a month in advance of its appear
ance. They told us the day and hour
we could see it. The star was about
'JO millions of miles away, moving
three thousand miles a minute
moving as far as from New York to
an Francisco in CO seconds. It re
mained in sight about a month and
then disappeared. After about 80
years of traveling through space it
will again become visible to those on
earth. Can your mind comprehenJ
a body of such enormous size that
it could be seen 00 million miles
away and look as if it were standing
still, though moving at the rate of
three thousand miles a minute?
Then think of its going out of sight
and remaining out of sight for SO
years. Can you believe in that?
How could it go on and on and not
bang into something? If your mind
will seek to grasp what that means,
then go a few steps further and
tnve to comprehend the power of
the Being that created and controlled
that line star among the billions."
Letting Newspapers Starve.
The local newspaper is always
pleading for the support of the home
merchant and yet many of them are
slowly starving to death.
A western country paper has just
died wheie father and sons and wife
lived on starvation incomes for forty
years bef re giving up.
The business man and the banker
appreciate the home paper that fights
radicalism in all its forms in a cam
paign and then forget it.
The office seekers are inclined to
throw something to the newspaper
when a campaign is on and they want
the simport of the voter.
But once in office and the country
editor is rapidly forgotten and he gets
off well if laws are not enacted to
put him out of business.
Better support of the home paper
would be the greatest wisdom in view
of the time coming when there will
be a mighty struggle to overthrow
American institutions.
wildered and distressed alike by the
incompetence and extravagance of
publioservants.
The demand of the hour is neither
increased taxation nor new source
of revenue, but retrenchment and
economy in public expenditures.

The Patron-Teachers Association
of Heppner has taken the initial
steps toward getting the civic and so
cial organizations of Heppner to
gether, and for this purpose a mass
meeting is called to be held at the
high school building on next Tuesday
evening. It is earnestly desired that
there be strong delegations present
from all the various organizations
and matters of community interest
will be taken up and discussed, with
the end in view that some concerted
action may be had in putting over a
few projects that.have been fostered
hv the Patron-Teachers Association,
and in which the community at large
is vitally interested. Steps to secure
a swimming pool, athletic grounds
and other things of this nature for
the benefit of the young folks, as
well as the pleasure of the older citi
zens will be taken. In -union there
is strength, and the object of this
meeting is to bring all these organi
zations together in a cooperative
movement for the civic benefit of
Heppner. It is worthy of the best
support that can be given and this
meeting should be largely attended

On next Saturday there will be a
bia meetinz in Pendleton to boost

ment of the Columbia river at L'ma

ably launched at Umatilla last week,
and now Pendleton is getting behind
it with all her energy and push. Thi
is not alone a Pendleton or Umatilla
county enterprise, but belongs to
Morrow gounty as well. In fact it
reaches out into the territory in
Washington and will be a big factor
in further development in that state
also. Heppner is urged to have

AS dealers in sporting goods, we want to do
Xjl all we can to contribute to the success cf

the utmost confidence,
feeling that whatever the
weather conditions may
be, these shells will play
true to form and give the
best results that can be
