"HE AMERICAN PKt-SS AvX!TION
The Best Little Town
One day, not so long ago, a party
as standing in front of our hotel.
A notice that the hotel would dose
for certain reasons, as posted in the
window and another part)- stood read
ing it. He turned to this party stand
ing in front of the building, and in
quired what the notice meant. The
first party, a resident of the city, and
very knowing, remarked to the effect
that it was jut evidence of the fact
that "a bunch of d n fools of
Heppner had put more money into
a hotel than the one-horse town was
able to support," and continued to
inform the stranger along the line of
what was needed here.
The editor of this paper happened
to be standing near enough at the
time to hear what was said, and we
know that this "booster" for our little
city would not like to have us call
him out. though we are personally
disposed to do so.
The point is: This tow-n is good
enough for this man to live in; he
owns property here, by the way, and
according to his own statement above
he might be classed in the same cat
egory with those of our citizens who
have the interest of the community
enough at heart to invest some of
their money in a public enterprise,
even though they expected no direct
financial gain to themselves; those
who do not expect to get all they pos
sibly can out of the community with
out giving something back, and this
charge made above is indeed very
uncalled for on the part of any citi
zen of the community and is libel on
the good intentions of our loyal cit
izens. We could go on and preach
a pretty strong seimon to a small
bunch around this town, but we re
frain. They are all known and taken
for what they are worth. Why not
catch the spirit as given in the fol
lowing little homily, which contains
some of the proper religion, but
whose author is to us unknown :
"There are fancier towns than our
little town, there are towns that are
bigger than this, and the people who
live in the smaller towns don't know
what excitement they miss. There are
things you see in the wealthier towns
that you can't in a town tha'ts small ;
and yet, up and down, there is no
other town like our little town after
all. It may be that the streets aren't
long, they're not wide nor maybe
straight, but the neighbors you know
in your own little town all welcome
a fellow it's great.
"In the glittering streets of the
glittering town, with its palace and
pavement and thrall, in the midst of
the throng you will frequently long
for your own littlte town after all.
If you live and you work in your own
little town, in spite of the fact that
it's small, you'll find it a fact that our
own little town is the best little town
after all."
feared :t might be. owing to the late
ness of the dates and the practically
impossible attendance on the part of
she farmers. Vet. had there been the
full cooperation on the part of the
community that the local committee
were entitled to. this deficit would
not be present. This town needs to
get rid of that spirit, manifested by
a very few. we will say, that seems
to stand out against everything that
tends to further the higher interests
of our people. We have no quarrel
with anyone who does not care to
patronize such projects as the Chau
tauqua and the lyeeum courses; this
is their business. The least that they
can do. if they have no desire to give
financial aid to these enterprises, is
to say a good word for the local men
and women who get behind them,
and lay aside their hammers and thus
boost this much. For those intellect
ual highbrows and know-it-alls, those
who can always suggest that nothing
of merit can ever come to the home
town -whether it be the Chautauqua,
the lyceum, or the pictures presented
at the local theater, we have nothing
to say; they are not the ones that
you find taking hold of any other
enterprise that the community inter
ests are fostering; they are only a
species of leaches on the body politic
that suck out what lifeblood they are
able to in the way of dollars and give
nothing in return. But the great
body of the citizenship of the city
and immediate surrounding country
rallied to the support of the Chautau
qua during the week and made it the
complete success it was, and for this
the local committee is thankful.
Plats on the college farm treated
with ground limestone this year
showed an increase of .45 of a ton
more of mixed clover and grass hay
than the untreated plats, and the
plats treated with limestone and ma
nure produced .82 of a ton more than
the untreated plats. The limed plats
had a much better stand of clover,
while the manure increased the
growth of rye grass and the general
growth. There was much more clover
on the limed areas than on other
plats. 0. A .C. Experiment Station.

telling us of a rich Man whiteh lives
out in the country. He sed he did

The last week in Heppner has been
one of entertainment and education.
The Chautauqua has come and gone ;
it received splendid patronage from
the Heppner folks, gave a splendid
line of entertainments and lectures
and the people were well pleased.
The only regrettable feature is the
fact that the local committee will be
called upon to face a small deficit
this, by the way, being reduced to
much smaller proportions than it was

Ready to Serve
Do you appreciate what a "ready
to serve" organization means?
It usually represents the work, ex
perience and saving of years of one
or more individuals.
Take a newspaper as an illustra
tion. Too often its value to a town
is underestimated by the leading cit
izens of the community.
Yet the deadest town in the world
is the one without a newspaper.
The newspaper is called upon to
support every public movement "free
of charge." It must help the church,
it must lead the way for civic im
provements and it must pioneer for
all manner of new development en
terprises. When the good work has been
done the "leading citizens" of the
community sit back with a smile of
satisfaction and too often take credit
for the work which would have been
impossible without a regularly issued
daily or weekly newspaper.
Good times and bad, the paper
must come out. Merchants threaten
to discontinue advertising if neces
sary rate increases are made. Sub
scribers threaten to stop subscrip
tions if its policies do not agree with
theirs.
But sooner or later every citizen
in the community must have the ser
vices of the newspaper for some pur
pose or other. Little do they consider
the trials of the average country ed
itor in maintaining a "ready to serve"
institution that is seldom thanked for
the public good it is constantly do
ing, that is often cussed for no just
cause, but that always comes out on
schedule and is "ready to serve" in
its field, although the requirements
of the individual asking the service
may come ten years apart. Manufacturer.
