CONTEMPLATION
That this world is a medley of dan
gers, there isn't the shadder of doubt;
suspicion is launched at the stranger,
that pesters us, inside an' out.
So, every man's full of predictions
that augur fer heaven or hell, and
others would speak their convictions,
if they had convictions to tell. . . .
When ignorance, greed, an' starv
ation are skulkin' abroad in the land,
God pity, 0, pity the nation that rests
in the palm of their hand. When
the tribe of the rat-eyed commuter
is huntin' up space fer its spread, it
needn't require any tutor, to tell
where our goat may be led. . . .
Mi't? Day
Staunch friendships indicate a highly interesting legal battle at
the trial of Judge J. J. Day of Oklahoma City for the killing of Lieut.
Col Paul W Beck, U. S. Aviation Corps, in the formers home. the
only witness was Mrs. Dav, over whom the killing resulted. Fnends
for many years, Colonel Beck was a guest in the Day home
Returning from driving other bridge party friends home, Judee
Day savs he found his wife struggling to free herself from the aviators
arms. To save his wife, Day struck Beck over the head with a revolver.
The weapon exploded, killing Beck, Colonel Beck was prominent in
Brmv circles and in Washington society. Friends insist Beck has been
misjudged and will aid in the prosecution of Day. Judge Day is a
wealthy oil operator and former member of the Supreme Court Com
mission, whose many friends have rushed to his deiense.

become very dangerous to the public
during the hot summer months. Off
Water street is an open drainage
ditch which is filled with weeds and
paper. These things stop the water
which should run off a bank into the
creek. With fifteen minutes work,
this ditch could be cleaned and the
water would then flow into the creek.
Above the power house and up Wil
low creek, old barrels full of stag
nant wa;er were found. Everyone
knows what happens if a barrel of

is a good breeding place for mosqui-
toes. The mill race which empties
into Willow creek is in a condition
that should be remedied. The water
from the race does not empty into
the creek as it should, but it stands
in pools and becomes stagnant. The
reason for this is that the bank of tne
creek is much higher than that at

Big Business And You
.Some folks have the hazy idea that big busi
ness means wealth rolling in through the avenue
of 1310 PROFITS.
It is not so. Big business is based upon the
sound fundamental of safe and sane investment.
If it isn't it isn't long known as big business.
Take the safest of all interest rates, 4, and
put it to work on dollars and it will pile up
wealth at an amazing speed.
Big business means that more dollars or
more men are at work but whether it be dol
lars or men they are governed by a safe and
sane business fundamentalan honest profit or
a reasonable interest return on the investment.
I'ut $10 to work for you at 4i and in a very

Editor Gazette-Times:
Following is a report written by a
committee of the biology class fol
loing an informal survey of sanitary
conditions in Heppner. The survey
was made by the class in connection
with their work on the bettering of
human environment. The report is
submitted as written by the committee.
When due allowance is made for
the season of the year and the excep
tional cases it is still strongly evident
that many people are grossly careless
in the disposal of garbage and sewer
age. Failure to use oil in open toilets
and on manure piles results in the
breeding of myriads of flies in the
summer. The many open sewers
running into the dry creek beds and
into ditches furnish a dangerous sit
uation as regards the spread of ty
phoid and other infectious diseases.
Information regarding the danger of
unsanitary conditions is sufficiently
wide-spread these days to prompt
serious thinking and action on the
committee's report.
Yours truly,
J. W. HEARD, Instructor.
The people of Heppner who have
had access to good schools, and have
had every chance to know the right
from the wrong way of protecting
public health, have many good reas
ons to be truly ashamed. The follow
ing things were seen by the students
of the biology class on a small trip
about the town;
Gunny sacks, boxes, and piles of
tin cans were lying open, exposed to
the rain which could easily fill them
with water; such as this makes a very
good place for mosquitoes to breed.
In the back door yard of many ot the
homes the ground was thoroughly
soaked with dish-water and slop
which attracts many flies. Many of
the alleys were in very filthy condi
tion; especially one, where wagon
loads of cans, piles of ashes, and
heaps of kitchen refuse were found.
eggs; plenty of tin cans and other
rubbish were oiled around. In one
particular back yard there wasi
found all kinds of trash mixed to-1
gether. These should be cleaned
away, because in the summer a ter-1
rible odor will form, and flies will
readily breed. A few more places
which should be attended to are near
the court house, the public feed yard,
and rooming houses west of main
street.
On a shed which is not more than
twenty feet from the kitchen door
of a certain home, there is a dead

COXEY WANTS ACTION
OR ANOTHER ARMY
Jacob S. Coxey, who years ago
lead an army of unemployed into
Washington demanding jobs, is
active again. This time he has an
idea of how Uncle Sam should op
erate the merchant marine. Through
Congressmen of his own State,
Ohio, Gen. Coxey has four bills be

army on the capital.
rabbit which from all outward ap
pearance has been there for some
time. A dead chicken and a dead
cat were found in another yard and
have evidently been there for some
time. Dead skeletons should not be
left lying around, especially those of
dead animals such as a skeleton of
a calf which has been there for some
time.
Mrs. Catherine Fitzhugh, daugh
ter of William Bruce Fennell, for
mer Governor of Virginia, has been
arraigned in a New York court
charged with having stolen a hand
bag from a woman worshipper in
the church of St. Mary the Virgin.
Eight witnesses appeared against
her.
It was also noticed that some people
throw their dish-water and table
scraps into the back yard. This gives
off a filthy odor and many disease
germs. In many places it was notic
ed that the sewerage from the cess
pool runs through a pipe to the top
of the ground, then through a small
ditch to the creek. If this is not
cleaned, mosquitoes will breed and
carry typhoid.
In one part of town a barn lot
was noticed which has a tery large
pile of manure in it. It looked as
if it had been there for some time,
and flies have probably bred there.
The manure should be hauled away
or spread over the ground to be
plowed under. There are several
other places near the center of town
that have very dirty barn lots. The
manure has undoubtedly been there
for some time and flies may easily
breed. The city's feed yard needs
much improvement. It is covered
with manure all year long; this
makes a very good place for flies to
breed during the summer. Some one
should be employed to take care of
this and keep it clean. Manure,
which looked as if it had been there
for an unreasonable length of time,
was piled around many barns. These
places should be cleaned, because
they are very unhealthful and most
any kind of disease may start. Oil
should be placed on the manure to
keep the flies from breeding. Many
open toilets were found, which could
he bettre cared for. They should be
carefully built, and oils or lime
should be used in them.

COTTON QUEEN WANTS
,SEAT IN CONGRESS
Mrs. l.elia Seton tdmundson. an
Alabama woman, wants to throw
her strength with the Farm Bloc in
Congress. She has announced her
self candidate from her district, her
object, she says, being to interest
the government Jii our farms and
farmers. Mrs. F-dmundson i

South." She owns and personally
manages a 1.600-acre plantation near
Decatur, Ala.
The people of Heppner seem to be
In another alley, a post had been the very careless about the drainage of
target of manv well-directed rotten their town. Perhaps it is only tnor
the mill; and without a strong force
the water cannot go over the bank
into the creek. A number of pools
were found in different parts of the
town. Perhaps they are ditches fill
ed with rain water that has no way
to be removed except by the aid of
the sun.- These ditches should be
filled with dirt and rock. If careful
attention were given to these things,
there would be no chance for the
many mosquitoes to breed in the
town.
.In the district above the power
house very dirty chicken yards and
two pig pens were found. The chick
cn yards near one of the city's sourc
es of food supply look as if they had
not been cleaned for some time. The
chicken yard belonging to one of the
cities main sources of food supply is
not as clean as it should be. It is
in the center of town, and rotting
food is lying about the yard in con
siderable quantities. Hies will go
all over town in all directions car
rying filth and disease. Along the
street from the school house to the
court house are chicken yards that
need cleaning to prevent the breed
ine of flies.
A sewer was noted which at one
time was a basement. The top has
caved in, and the sewerage from the
home runs into it, which makes an
excellent breeding place for mosqui
toes and a good place for disease
to start. A tight cover should be
placed over the top, and a pipe lead
ing to the creek should be installed.

GUILTY PREACHERS
The Christian pulpit is the
highest place on earth. It is the
only untrammeled, unpurchas
able throne in the world. The
rreache'-. if he be a real preacher
is God-called, God-filled, divinely
titted, and supernaturlly commis
sioned. His authority and mes
sage are of supernatural origin.
Therefore, he is decreed to be a
leader. If he meets these divine
requirements he is an expert in
his exalted position. When ever
a minister of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ and His vicarious death
steps out of this exalted place
and fails to perform his duty as
a courageous leader fnd fearless
defender of the faith delivered
fcnee for all to the saints, he be
comes guilty and must b? held re
sponsible for all the ills that result
from his failure.
There are ministers who have,
no doubt, stepped from this high
responsible place and they are
therefore guilty of all the evils of
the country that have come as a
direct result of their actions. Such
ministers are chargeable with the
following defects:
First: Laziness. They do not
work, not even half time. Their
sermons show it. Their fences
are down. Their churches are un
organized. They do not take any
part in the civic life of their com
munities. - Second: They are cowards.
They are afraid to speak plainly,
pointedly, and persistently against
the sins of their members. They
are far from being like John the
Baptist. They do not demand
respect and attention from men
because they do not meet men and
challenge them in their evil do
ings. They do not stand like brave
men should stand face to face
with a guilty brother and accuse
him.
Third: Busy Idleness. They

are engaged in attending pink
teas, and foolish female functions,
whereas they should be in the
marts of trade, n the floors of as
semblies and lodges, business and
political meetings, and social gath
erings where men live and where
they could stand on the floors of
such meetings, expose evil, de
fend virtue, and advocate right
eousness. Fourth: Infidelity. They have
yielded to the Goddess of Heresy,
ind have made a direct attack
upon the infallible Word of God
md the blood atonement of Jesus
Christ. Such men are undermin
ing the faith of the young and un
sophisticated saints and are send
ing thousands adrift into skepti
cism and sin. They are drawing
salaries fraudulently because they
contracted to preach the infallible
Word of God and the vicarious
atonement of Jesus Christ. They
are preaching something else.
Therefore, such conduct is dis
honest. Such men are largely re
sponsible for the rise of the in
famous cults and the spread of ir
reverence, frivolity, impropriety,
domestic infidelity, religious infi
delity, apostasy, and general social
criminality,
If the preachers were preach
ing faithfully, fearlessly, courage
ously, the whole Gospel of Jesus
Christ and were exposing crime,
demanding confession, and bring
ing men face to face with the
judgment of their deeds, the crime
wave of this country would subside
at once, and a great revival of
religion would begin.
The pettifogging, heretical,
spineless, rationalistic, infidel ic
preachers of the country are re
sponsible for the social conditions
of this land.
