MOHKOW COt TY llKl lt III. PVPKR LTJ AMLRKAN PRESS ASSXTXTTONj Heppner's new water system will soon be put to the test as the irri gation season approaches. We will soon know whether we have a suffi cient supply to keep lawns, gardens and shrubbery alive and green dur ing the heated season, as well as having a sufficient supply of good, pure water for domestic uses. Just now there is a deal of speculation going on, as well as considerable complaint that the water being fur nished to the city is not just the qual ity ii should be, and some days we are led to the conclusion that there must be a band of cattle or sheep frolicking around the headwaters of the creek where the intake is located and are stirring up the mud and sed iment at a lively rate. This summer wiH bnng forth all the bad points in the system and will give the citv fa thers somethmg to work on for its improvement. Right now the council is facing the necessitv of further ex tensions and connections with other live springs in the vicinity of the headgates, and the problem of get ring these improvements will no doubt have to be worked out soon. In this connection it is pertinent to re mark that the Heppner water de partment is more than self sustain ing, and should any extensions be found necessary, the funds for the same can be provided without in the least increasing the tax burden. It is also well to say that the citizens of the town, as they use the water this season, should co-operate with the water commissioners and avoid all possible waste. The hours for irrigation have been fixed and by us ing the water at this time as pro vided in the regulations, we should have no shortage and all the water that is necessary to keep lawns and vegetation alive and vigorous will be supplied. mav r ?eal. changed to wine, has been changed; from wine to medicine.

It may not work that wav. For. not being sneaks or liars, few of us will invite suspicion by being sick, while our friendly circle indulges in more snickers than sympathy. Besides, medicine costs more than beverage. Leslies. THE DALLES, ORE.

Slats' Diary. By Ross Farquhar. Friday Xs we was marching out of the skool room tonite Jane ack- sidently happened to get by my side. We looked at 1 a nother & I kinda smiled & so did she to. & then I skweezed her hand & she dittoed, o boy it give me a thrill like wen yure a setting in a 2nd hand ford with the engin running and etc. I guess mebby I aint solidwith her. I emagine she will be a awe fully good cook wen she is groan up Bet I never sleep tonite. We woodent never have no argue mints on polaticks. I wood vote just as she. Like pa does. Why not. Whats the differents about a. ole president enny way. Home life is the big idee. Saturday they are a lotta wed dings happening now. A nother bride and her bo got married this evening. .Mrs. Triggs was there & she stopped to tell ma & pa whitch was a wateing at the gate. She sed it was very sad. Pa sed Surely, Surely & ma give him a look full of tempachure & he shrunk in to the house. Mrs. Triggs sed the bride was a balling like everything but the grume went ahed & marryed her en ny way. Sunday ma was called to Ant Emmies house whitch she is sick with nervus prosperity. So pa & me diddent go to s. skool. nor chirch. Monday tride to dodge skool. nothing doing, pa is all most bad as ma wen he gets contrarie. I herd him saying to Jakes pa he had went & lost 7 $ of money.

Reports sow that the government's revenue fnm excess profits and in-1 come taxes has fallen off heavily.) Reports from various states show that state tax delinquencies are get-j ting new high records. Bankers knowj that more money has been w ithdrawn j and borrow ed for tax payments than : ever before. This indicates twoj things. First, that the abnormal bus iness conditions of the war are past and that profits are on a peace bas-j is, and do not justify war taxes. Sec ond, that the multiplicity of taxes, city, county, state and national, have increased to such an extent that the average citizen is hard pressed to make sufficient profit to meet them and leave the requisite capital for j operating his business. There is hope that federal taxation j will be reduced. But in the average western state taxes for the next two years will be increased, due to the, enormously increased amounts de-j manded to meet the appropriations of legislative sessions just closed. Never before has the average citizen felt the hand of tax oppression as he is feeling it now and will feel' it for the next two years. There is just one outcome. These tax burdens will increase so long as the people fail to demand and en force a program for retrenchment in public expenditures and the expan sion of officialism. Twenty thousand bodies of Amer ican soldiers who fell in France have either been shipped to the United States or are now in process of be ing returned for burial in their na tive country. With 102 officers of the American army and a personnel of more than 2,000 men working night and day in many sections of France the Grave Registration ser vice of the American army has reached a point where it is possible to forward 4,000 bodies a month. The work of sending back the 52, 311 bodies designated for interment in America will be completed by the end of next October, if present plans are fulfilled. . - - - r t ... . : Even the incidental circumstances "ein8 !or ,me wen 1 cum oul DUt will interest future fnquirers.

The many little power-driven contrivances which add to the convenience of your shop or home would be useless. Even the lights by which you work and play would be snuffed out. Yet the great service rendered by the Light and Pow er Company is too often forgotten. It has become so much a part of our everyday life that it is taken for grant ed. Only on the rare occasions when something goes wrong does the Light and Power Company receive even n ia passing thought; ana that thought is pertorce a damning one. In the light of actual facts, the Light and Power Com pany takes on an entirely different aspect. Its welfare and the welfare of the community as a whole are one and inseparable. The extent and character of the service it renders influences to a considerable degree the establish ment of new industries. And the more widely that ser vice is used, the cleaner and brighter the community will become, for electrical power is clean power. Literary Digest. PA" adv.
