The round-up feature added a class of entertainment that is greatly en joyed by the large crouds and it was the means of drawing a great many to the city that perhaps would not have come just for the fair alone. This w:ll also be improved upon an other season, and we understand that there will ire a strong effort made to brins the two attractions together on the same ground and we hope to see this accomplished. The boys from Yamhill furnished a lot of good band music and were always on the job, and we feel sure that there was no disappointment regarding this fea ture cn the part of any. The atten dance was good and the big crowds seemed to enjoy the occasion im mensely.

The people of the country should realize that it is their fair: that they are be ing taxed to a certain extent to keep it going. So prepare now for a big ger and better fair next year.

Yeon for governor has no basis in any possibility that he would accept the honor. He desires to devote a!! the tijie he can spare from his private business to his unpaid duties as state highway commissioner. Or to express it bet ter, he is willing to put in nearly all his time as state highway commis sioner and attend to his pressing pri vate business affairs in between times, but could not consider getting into politics. Besides, he knows that if he is mentioned in a political way his unselfish activities as state high way commissioner would be discount ed. He doesn't want to be governor, can't afford to be governor, and does want to stick to the highway work for the sake of doing that great work well. While everyone who knows Yeon well knows lie would make a great governor, he is needed on the highway job. Oregon Voter.

Man-field, state president of the Farm Bureau, was an inter ested visitor at the fair in Heppner on Saturday, and the editor of this paper enioved the privilege ot a con verati"n with him on a number of top:cs pertaining to the welfare of the farmers of the state and of the pur!e in general. One thing in par ticular that Mr. Mansfield is interest ed in. is the development of the hy-dro-tlectric power project at Uma tilla raH;!i in the Columbia river. In this connection. Mr. Mansfield stated that he had written an article to the F:;sf Qresnr.ian at Pendleton and .commended them for th good work 'thev are doing in behalf of this great project, and gave some of his views in regard thereto, upon which the E. 0. makes the following comment: It is natural that the president of the state farm bureau should believe in the development of the Umatilla rapids project and should have no aversion to a-king government aid for ch a project. The federal gov ernment used its money by the mil- eclaim waste and that is producing alfalfa and other in competition with the crops grown on other sand, ine tarmers of the west did not object to this course. They placed the public good above their private interests in the matter. Thev took the position that while more reclamation meant more competition for them it also meant greater development and settlement and that from these things all people gain. The same principles apply to pow er development. It is just as logical for the government to help reclaim waste water power as to reclaim waste land, only more so. Mr. Mans field is likewise correct m his posi tion that regulation has not solved the power question.

H lions to now crops Enforcement of Law Necessary Speaking recently before a meet ing of the American Bar Association, Attorney General Daugherty said: "Another subject that undermines respect for law, especially prominent at the present time, is an erroneous theory of personal liberty under our constitutional system. This contro versy is as old as government itself. It has been asserted with especial vigor recently owing to the eighteen th amendment to the Constitution of the United States, and to the amend ments in the various state constitu tions, and because of legislation on the same subject by Congress and the various state legislatures. "But, gentlemen, whatever be our individual views as to the wisdom of these constitutional provisions and haws made thereunder in our federal land state government restricting per sonal liberty, the fact remains that 'they are on the statute books. They ihave been regularly enacted and are a part of constitutional and statutory i law of the land. ! "From the standpoint of the gov ernment, the only sound view is that of law enforcement. Whatever dif ferences of opinion exist in the views as to the wisdom of some of these i laws can be of no concern to the s y s Use tyank Checks The plan is safe because there is never a question as to when you made the transaction or the amount involved. Each chock is a complete re cord, showing the date, the am ount, to whom paid. Futher more, the payee acknowledges receiving the amount from you, as each check must be endorsed on the back when presented hero at the bank. Your friends and neighbors use bank checks to make pur chases. T lie plan is practical for you. Fir& National Bank IJEPPNER, OREGON What Women Can Do witn can or paint ana "a little work that's fun."
