The earth again has claimed its own, And unto r.od his soul has flown. If 1 should write his epitaph. 1 could not say enough, by half, T'esoriptive of his great career, Which covered nearly four score year. Though these few lines I wish to say, In bringing rr.y respects to pay: 'Tis true he died, but still he lives. And golden thoughts he freely gives. A monument he leaves behind. Erected by his master mind. Bedecked in nature's diamonds fair. Whose glistening rays are everywhere Illuminating paths we trod. And linking nature up with God Vridome Hotel Changes Hanrta. William Irvine, proprietor of The Palm, a swell little confectionery, sta tionery and book store, announces the sale of the Vendome hotel of which he was proprietor for several years. The transfer was made to Mrs. Por ter of Heppner. who will take posses sion on or before the loth of April Some repairs will be made on the bull- ding before the hotel will be in oper ation. Mrs. Porter comes well recom mended, and having had considerable experience in the hotel business, knows the needs of the public and will serve accordingly.

There is one item of practice that appears on the records this year that . onma time to COme .may not appeal un - -- - to a special vote or tne people. with trreat skill and wisdom, and it has worked admirably. Although the strain on the Federal Reserve banks has been very heavy, they stand today as a whole, well within the legal lim its of their powers with gold reserves considerably in excess of legal rauutre ments. Without them the war could not have been financed, nor the pre sent situation met and overcome. With them, the financial situation remains sound. What of the Future No conservative banker will commit himself to very definite prophecy at amount of Liberty Loan bonds. This would greatly reduce our national debt and the Interest thereon. Liberty Loaaa aeatd Be He-Faadrd Second: The balnace of our own Lib erty Loan issues should be refunded Into an Issue of bonds payable at the option of the government, after twenty years, bearing four and one-quarter percent and tax-free to the extent of 15.000,000 In any individual holding This would relieve the channels of business, particularly the Federal Re serve banks, by the tendency U would have to drive these bonds Into the strong boxes of investors, where they belong. It would also put Liberty Loan bonds to par, and thus keep faith with the millions of hard-working people who Invested In them. if these two things were accomplish ed the chief obstacle to the improve ment of the foreign exchange and freer Intercourse with foreign countries would be Improved, and money for commercial borrowers would, to some extent, at least, be made cheaper, which would help the business recovery that we are all hoping for. While some men whose opinions are ent'tled to respect are prophesying years of poor times, I am not one of those who believe that w ill be our ex perience. At such a time as this there are always pessimists who cannot see what Is ever going to happen to cause a recovery, but In a long experience I have never found that the pessimists were right, J have great faith In the recuperative powers of the Unltefl States of America, and In the consump tive demands of one hundred and seven millions of Americans. Proapeetlve Recovery In many lines particularly those which were first hit, and hardest hit, orders for goods are now quite numer ous. They are still small and repre sent a hand-to-mouth policy on the part of the buyers, but urgency of ship ment is a very noticeable and encoura-a-lne- feature of these orders.

The greatest needs of the time are a spirit I of co-operation between all classes, a; recognition that a new basis for wages, prices and profits must be established, and a hopeful, forward-looking dispo sition on the part of business men and bankers. Let us each seek to deserve! lirownlng's fine description of an op-j tlmlst: "One who never turned his back but' marched breast forward. Never doubted clouds would break.

It is believed that through the west there are a number ot lani.e.a who could take a hundred dollar share. The underwriting possibilities of such an organiiation would mean that they would have direct control or ii.iov.vw HOC of money In the handling of grain. This would be a very formidable finan- ln QtrPflCV. Their plan also calls for a national export corporation to be formed under the Webb law. This finance corpora tion would be formed for the exclusive -urose of financing and handling ex ,i orain. One of the reasons why it is a little difficult for the individual dealer to handle export trade is be- ane of the financing problems involv ed and this would plan to handle all the export grain sold by the association from the entire Lnited states. There will be a meeting called in hlcago April 6 at which this plan will be submitted to delegates from ail over the United RtateB. Washington Is sending three delegates, Idaho two, Montana two, Oregon two. mere leems to be no reason to believe but that this plan will finally be decided uoon as It harmonises splendidly with the Washington-Oregon plan and there no reason for anyone to fear but that the two will work absolutely as two integrel parts of a perfect machine. If the plan Is adopted there win oe Immediately put on the greatest cam paign ever started in the United States and It Is expected that the farmers of the United States will more clearly un der.tand this plan, will more clearly understand the Iniquities under which they are now operating and how ab solutely completely they are under the hands of the speculator than they un derstood the value of Liberty Bonds during those campaigns. After this campaign has progressed for a little while a national organization campaign will be put on with the Idea that at least 500 organirera will be in the field continuously during the next six or eight months. The national Farm Bureau does not 'do things half way. This committee spent about 160,000 In working out their plans and are prepared to spend a good many hundred thousand dollars If necessary In putting through the marketing of the grain of the United States. 7 jTitTiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiii itii iiiiMMiiMniiimiiiiuiiii 4 Our Standard Mu Be Maintained Through a period extending over several years, the Mor row County Creamery Company has been laboring to place its product on the market of Heppner and cities of the adjoining territory. We are now pleased with the progress made, and can say that the entire product, practically, of the Creamery is going into the hands of the local merchants and to groceries and general stores in a number of the neighboring commun itiee. Our Aim Is to Keep Up the Standard of Our Product In order to do this, we must have pure, fresh cream that tests up to the standard in butter fat. We are gratified to state that in a very large measure we are receiving this consideration at the hands of producers. We do not desire to turn down any offerings, yet to maintain the standard set, we will be compelled to do so. We should not be expected to buy small offerings of cream that have been so long in accumulation that the product has become rancid and is unfit for no other use than to be poured into the gutter; hence we must refuse to take such offerings in the future, purely as a matter of justice to ourselves and to our customers, who have the right to de mand of us the best product we can turn out. This announcement will no doubt be received in the spirit in which it is offered; we desire to get all the good, clean butterfat that is produced in this territory and at all times will pay the very highest market price for same. Please help us to maintain our standard of excellence. Morrow County Creamery Company Makers of Willow Brand Butter W.
