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. Ihis Is a world of progress.
The farmers would soon be rolling in
wealth if they could raise hogs at bacon
prices.

PROMISE LAND.
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?

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.

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.
