A community Christmas tree for
Hcppncr was quite thoroughly dis
cussed at the Brotherhood meetin
on Monday evening. It was decided
that it would not be proper to at
tempt, at this late date, to carry out
the idea for this season, but that it
would be placed on the program at
an early date the coming year and
the idea carried out Christmas of
1922. While on the subject of
Christmas and giving, it was devel
oped that there is just about two
ideas of Christmas prevalent: a "giv
ing Christmas" and a "receiving
Christmas" ar.d this gave Brother
Notson a chance to present the Near
East question. It soon developed
that the Brotherhood, at least, wish
ed to be in the class with those who
believe in a giving Christmas, and a
good visitor from Seattle having led
the hat was passed and a fund of
$25.21 raised, which is to be con
sidered as a starter for Heppner in
its remembrance of the suffering
children of the Near East at this
Christmas season. We hope that it
may be swelled to many hundreds of
dollars; we feel that it will when the
good people of this town are made
to fully realize the tremendous need.
.Money going into this fund is sav
ing lives.
No "Super-State" Needed.
It is plain to everybody in the
world today as it has all along been
to Americans who studied the words
and acts of the President, that no
"super power" need be invoked to
do that which sovereign governments
can do without in the least yielding
any of their fine national ideals. The
proposals made by Mr. Hughes in
volve financial sacrifice by the lead
ing peoples that is, initial sacrifice.
Not even temporary loss of pride is
required, however: not even momen
tary surrender of blood-bought and
sacred rights to a covenant or league
or other super-state created to dom
inate all and truly serve none.
There was never any real kindling
of national spirit in the influence of
the league of nations upon the minds
of the world. Those who did not look
upon it as a Juggernaut hailed it as
a contraption too complicated ever to
be understood. Nobody felt a thrill
at contemplating its suggestive work
ings; it offered a covenant which
promised relief from some dangers
through the erection of others at
least equally formidable. Mr. Wil-
To make a merry Christmas for
the little folks of this community,
the American Legion Post will have
a program and treat for the children
under ten years of age at the fan
pavilion on Christmas night. They
are preparing to make this an occa
sion of jov for the little folks, and
after all Christmas should be an oc
casion especially for the children.

do it in Heppner; our merchants can

There was lively discussion of the
county budget for two days the past
week at the court house in an honest
attempt to reduce the expense ac
count and cut taxes. However, it
developed that there was little
chance to get below the estimates
without seriously disturbing the
economic arrangements and the bud
get was voted w ithout change. The

Homey Philosophy For 1921
Even so often you run into a poor
fellow who tells you forlornly that
"Life isn't worth living." But you
continue to meet him at the usual
places where folks are customarily
met and then you get a shock when
you realize that he is still alive
life has been worth enough for him
to be on hand and eat his usual
meals. After all, nothing could be
more absurd than the man who says
"Life isn't worth living."
Public utilities of Oregon will pay
taxes the coming year on a total val
uation in the state of $4,447,794.76
more than last year. The full value
for 1920 was $181,507,000.53 and for
thisvear $185,504,795.29.
The Main Thing.
An old darky got up one night at a
revival meeting and said: "Brudders
an' sisters, vou knows an' 1 knows dat
I ain't been what I oughter been. Ise
robbed henroosts an' stole howgs, an'
tole lies, an' got drunk, an' slashed
folks wi' mah razor, an' shot crops,
an' cussed an' swore; but I thank de
Lord dere's one thing I ain't nebber
done; I ain't nebber lost mah relig
ion." Western Christian Advocate.
