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

not have been financed, nor the pre

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.

Having fought and tlnanced the!
meat war without weakening, this
country must keep up its courage and
see the w ar's results through. The
greatest needs of the time are a spirit I

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.
