Sisson, vice-president of the Guaranty Trust company of New York one of the largest and most powerful financial institutions in America with branches around the world, has an optimistic message here, a message that should be studied by every financial power, great or small and one that should be read and absorb ed by the general public.) Despite the continuance of certain ad verse factors, such as the coal and tex tile strikes, and the unsettling psycho logical effects of the proposed bonus and tariff legislation, as well as European problems, the business outlook is decid edly more promising than at the begin ning of the year. For several months after the peak of inflation had been reached and readjustment was begun, improvement was more pronounced in Most Perfect Woman in the United States 0U have been-walking in the sunny fields of prosperity.

Sees Prosperity. With established improvement evident in so many phases of the economic sit uation, it appears that, despite the weak spots which remain, this country is ready to proceed gradually toward gen eral prosperity. The aituation abroad, however, is not as favorable on the whole as it is here, and in our national economy we are so initmately related to the remainder of the world that resump tion of fully normal business activity in the United States will necessarily be more or less retarded by adverse condi tions In other countries. Nevertheless, the improved industrial and commercial position of a number of other countries, and the sustained appreciation in the exchange value of the principal Euro pean currencies, points to an increasing ability abroad to purchase American products, with corresponding advantage to American busines in general. Miss Gertrude Eggett of Fresno, Calif ornia, has been declared the most per fectly formed woman in America, win ning a $1,000 prize. Ten thousand girls competed. She eats two meals a day, lots of raisins, and has never been in love. the banking situation than in the field of production and trade. This was to be expected. Not until the strengthening of the credit structure had made con siderable progress was the basis laid for any marked degree of general industrial revival. Meanwhile, production costs in many lines were considerably reduced, due to somewhat more reasonable wage scales and lower prices for raw mater ials. In addition to the Increasingly favor able position of the banks as a whole, an expanding volume of production, greater than can be accounted for by seasonal variations, has been sustained for some months. This industrial pro gress, following, as it does, a prolonged period of credit liquidation, has substan tial basis for continuance. Price Seek the Normal. A favorable factor of major sienifi cance is the course of commodity prices in recent months. For nearly a year average wholesale prices have been fair ly constant. Individual prices, it is true, have fluctuated sharply in some cases, but the chief movements have been such as to reduce the wide disnar- ities in relative levels. The appreciation in the value of cotton, grains and other agricultural products, for example, has done much to restore the balance be tween the buying power of the farmers and that of other elements of the busi ness community. In turn, banks in the South and West have benefited greatly, either through the actual liquidation of loans or increased assurance that cus tomers will be able to meet their obli gations. The comparative stability of general wholesale prices for nearly a year, has induced a marked degree of sonfidence that for some time present price levels will be sustained, or, at least, decline, if at all, gradually. This is reflected in an increased volume of forward buying. The pronounced building movement throughout the country is both a cause and an effect of better economic condi tions generally in the United States. Likewise, the recent improvement in the automotive industry is more or less symptomatic of business conditions as a whole. It is also of considerable significance that the railroads are preparing for in creased business activity, as indicated by the number of freight cars and loco motives contracted for thus far this year. Orders for equipment have recent ly been unusually heavy. That we have passed the peak of bus iness readjustments is evidenced by the gradual but steady decline in the num ber of commercial failures and the am ount of liabilities involved. Production Stimulated. The prolonged period of sub-normal production in most industrial lines has permitted the utilization of accumulated stocks of commodities. In consequence current consumption needs are stimulat ing further production. Business improvement, however, re mains spotty. Moreover, productive ca pacity in many lines is considerably in excess of consumption requirements. Necessarily such a condition will be dis turbing factors for some time to come. There is clearly foreshadowed a period of intense competition, domestic and in ternational. The recent instance of com petitive downward revisions of certnin ocean passenger rates is a case in point. Corresponding competition for survival by domestic units is inevitable. The fear, voiced from time to time in one or another quarter, that our huge gold reserves and the remarkably strong position of the Federal Reserve banks will lead to a period of "secondary in flation," has been intensified by the re cent trend of the stock markets. Never theless, there is ground for confidence that the Federal Reserve Board will di rect its activity in such a manner as to discourage undue speculation in com modity markets. This confidence is es pecially fortified by the indication of a Tire Expense Much Lower Interesting Comment on Development of Tire Making Which Has Greatly Increased Mileage Delivered. "Motorists today take their tire ser vice and mileage for granted," says a veteran Goodrich representative who has seen the growth of the tire indus try from its inception. "They have become so accustomed to getting eight, ten, twelve and even fifteen thousand miles or more from their tires that they do not appreciate what science and in, ventive genius have done for them. "In the early days of the pneumatic tires, as any old time motorist will tell you, every tire was a gamble. If a man got five hundred miles from a tire with out having trouble he was surprised. He really expected tire trouble with ev ery mile he drove, and when a motorist started out to drive his car he wondered if the tires would hold out until he got to the next corner. "Tire manufacturers naturally set their minds to the problem at once, and the Goodrich organization, being the pioneer in the industry, quickly produc ed many improvements in both mater ials and methods of manufacture all making for longer mileage and better tires. "One of the greatest steps in advance on the part of the Goodrich was the pro duction of the Silvertown Cord tire. This tire caused a revolution not only in the tire business but also in motor ing. It established a new and higher quality standard and it gave the user so many more miles that it was instant ly recognized as a genuine economy. Today the Silvertown has reached its final perfection, and is regarded as the standard of comparison. "Both in cords and fabric tires Good rich has responded to the motorist's de mand for longer mileage at a lower cost, and today the man who buys a tire never thinks of asking the dealer for a guarantee as to mileage. He knows he will get many hundreds and even thou sands more miles than any guarantee could promise, and that in addition he will receive the service which Goodrich developed years ago and which has be come an integral part of the operation of every Goodrich dealer s store." One of the outstanding human ten dencies is to rail against a law that takes from man one or more of his pet liberties, notwithstanding that without law he wouldn t have any. After a man has learned not to stick his finger into a revolving electric fan he must then take into consideration the danger of monkeying with an arcal radio set during a thunder and lightning storm.

Most everything's a promise that we run acrost today; there's promises of better things, and promises to pay. . . . The seedtime holds a promise of the harvest that's to come, and autumn brings its promise of the winter, cold and dumb. . . . The promise of allegi ance to our country binds us all when the traitor breaks his promise, ne is doomed beyond recall. ... We hug the glitterin' prospecks when they promise a reward, and base our hopes eternal on the promise of the Lord. We love the lad that promises a ricn expanse of life, and crown me nine queen that holds the promise of a wife. . We seldom greet a promise wn the shadder of a doubt and the things that promise nothin', we are wise in kickin' out . . . We smile at the clouds of promise, when the crops is needin' rain, and we recollect the promise when the rainbow shines again. 0, there's nothin' else but promise that can soothe the weary soul, while the only thing that's certain is the thing we can't con trol! And so, with helpful promises, bestowed on every hand, I wonder, after all, if thia could be the Promised Land? AND BOTH ARE WAITING FOR A BITE i-w-.-.j jinimMi.

AUTO BUS AND FORD HAVE A LITTLE MIX About midnight last Thursday evening the auto bus of Don Case had a mix with a Ford car driven by Paul McDuffee and the two machines were badly bruis ed up . The bus received damaged fend ers and radiator, had its eyes put out and its windshield smashed while some ribs of the Ford were. caved in. The boys had been making delivery oi the big Chautauqua tent to the depot and were returning up town. McDuffee got away ahead of Case, coming in around on the east end of the Farmers Elevator Co. warehouse about as Case drove up on the south side, and In at tempting to turn out of the way of the heavier machine McDutTce drove head on into a hydrant near the residence of Lee Slocum and this forced his car back across the road in front of the bus and the collision resulted. Charles Not son was standing up in the bus and was thrown against the cab, receiving a cut chin and Don Case received a cut arm from the glass of the windshield. An other boy in the bus made his escape by jumping when he realized the ma chines were coming together. McDutTce escaped without injury, though it is hard to figure just how this happened as the Ford was hard hit. The bus was oft the job a couple of days for repairs. Heppner to Have E.-W. Chautauqua Next Year After such a successful Chautauqua as the one just closed in Heppner the past week, there was little difficulty in getting the required number of signa tures to guarantee to bring the Ellison White' program here next year, and we can look forward to a better entertain ment next June, if possible, than we en joyed this season. There were a number of people who have stated that they wished to place their names on the guarantee, and in or der that they may have the opportunity to do this, the contract has been re tained here for a few days and is in the hands of S. E. Notson. Get your name down and be a booster for this enter prise. The local committee have had to meet a small deficit this season much small er than it was last year and another year this will not happen, for interest in the Chautauqua is growing all the while and it is going to pay out Over half of the season tickets are also guar anteed and it should not be a very hard task to place the balance as the time for opening of the season draws near. In the meantime, those desiring to help by placing their name on the guarantee should see Mr. Notson. J. B. Huddleston, sheepman of Lone Rock, visited Heppner the end of the week. He had juat got his sheep off to the mountain ranges where he hopes to find good feed for the summer. Jim does not expect to visit Heppner very often hereafter because there is now no road on which he can get out The Butter milk and Sweetmilk and Rood canyon roads were destroyed by the cloudburst of a few weeks ago and are of course impassable and will require a lot of work to put them in order. He states that one can not realize the amount of water that came down over a small por tion of that country until they have seen the havoc worked by the water as it rushed down the hill sides and through the canyons. tocle Jcte tibsfo I SEE WHERE 'BABE'S IM THE WOODS AGAIN. Bay,. IUaJi'?,--!! COPvmSHT IQgg PUB AuTOCA-jTFR SF Fiv CO 1 Rev. M A. MATTHEWS D.D..LL. D, , Church Robbers The world, the flesh, and the devil are constantly hurling accusations at the church, but they do not point you to the real robbers. Would a man rob God? No. But a Bolshevik, hyp ocrite, and heretic would. They are robbing the church every day. They are using two great methods. First: They are sending their agents, their rationalistic and Bol shevistic hereticslnto the church. Of course, they have to purjure them selves and singe their own souls in order to get in. Then when they enter the church their obligations be gin not to the church but to the pre meditated conspirators against the church. There isn't a heretic In the church today who isn't the conscious or unconscious agent of the conspir ators who are trying to rob the church of her influence and power. Heresy is not an intellectual evolu tion) it is an evidence of heart de generacy, and Is absolute proof of the total depravity of mankind. These agents inside of the church preach their false doctrines not because they believe them, but because they are part of a conspiracy to destroy the world's confidence In the church. So far as intent and purpose are con cerned, they are as black as Judai win n , - m mi ' v Yft a i - i i tun Iscarlot. Second: There Is another group of these conspirators and robbers who are both in and out of the church. Their method Is to take from the church for circular use every dollar that they can possibly extract from the members. They are constantly devising schemes and plans and or ganizations and methods by which the church member Is relieved of his money and Is made to contribute to programs, which are antagonistic to the spiritual work of the church. Nearly seventy per cent of all the moneys contributed to these outside competing antagonistic and destruc tive agencies is contributed by the members of the Christian Church. They are robbing the church member, the church organization, and God in order that they may fill the coffers of the devil and build up the institu tions of hell. They are all co-conspirators with the infamous heretics that aro today making their attacks upon the church, upon the Bible, and upon Christ.
