c,i: nvr, IJoaal A. M. Edward, well-driller, was In the city Tuesday. He hss just recent ly completed a couple of wells in the north end of the county, one for Joe Foley of Butter creek, and the other for Dan Lindsey of Sand Hollow. He atruck water in the former well at a depth of 150 feet and the flow cornea to within 16 feet of the surface. Mr. Foley expects to put in a good wind mill and will have a modern water aystem on his place. The Lindsey . well (rought a flow of water at 130 feet and has a depth of 79 feet which cannot be lowered. For the present Mr. Lindsey is pumping by hand but will later put in a good windmill, and all his water troubles will be at an end. Many good wells are being found in that part of the county and water hauling will soon be a thing of the past. B. H. Peck atopped over In the city a short time Monday while on his way from the Rhea creek farm to the Peck wheat farm in the Lexington country. He has been putting in sev eral weeks on the lower place, getting the seeding done, and he states that the grain is coming up well and that it has been a mighty fine season for seeding. There was a lot of weeds to get rid of, but when weeds grow good in the fall you msy look for a fine ' yield of grain the coming season, ac cording to Mr. Peck's idea. Dr. C. C. Chick, city health officer, states that the city water is now en tirely free from contamination, and that the latest analysia from the office of the State Board of Health is to the effect that the 'water is free of all germs and fit for all domestic uses without boiling. If we could only get rid of that "rain barrel taste" there would be ne necessity for fur ther complaint. Alfred Nelson, extensive whest raiser of Lexington, was in the city a short while on Tuesday. Mr. Nelson states that a good rain would assist materially with the fall seeding, as the land is hardly moist enough at present to insure proper germination of the seed, and many who were put ting in their fall cropa have ceased work for the present on that account. The community sing Is coming a )ong all right, and Mrs. Cochran is pleased that the people of the city are taking hold of the enterprise so hear tily. There was a large gathering at the Cochran home on Monday even ing, and all the singers will meet there again tomorrow evening. This sing will be one of the big events in the history of Heppner this fall. Mrs. Laura Adkins, who recently disposed of her Eight Mile farm, de parted Wednesdsy morning for Mil ton, where she will reside in the fu ture. In the trsde for the Eight Mile farm, Mrs. Adkins took some resi dence property at Milton and will have a new and modern home nicely located in that city. There will be a big basket social at Parker's Hall in Six Dollar canyon on tomorrow, Friday evening. The dis posal of baskets is to follow a few hours of dandng and a social time, and the proceeds of the evening's en tertainment will go toward the pur chase of an organ for the school in that district. Mr, and Mrs. E. H. Turner of lone were visitors in this city on' Satur day, and this office acknowledges a very pleasant call from them. Mr. Turner states that he has his fall seeding all done and that the most of the grain in his aection north of lone is coming along fine. Mrs. Amos Mlasildine arrived from her home at Brownsville on last even ing and will spend a short time here, visiting with the family of her son, Roy Missildine. She formerly made her home in this city but left here several yars ago to reside In the Wil lamette valley. Hon. C. E. Woodson, being a grad uate of U. of 0. and a booster for that state educational institution, could not resist the temptation to see the big football game at Pendleton on Friday between Oregon and Whitman. He was glad to see the Oregon team win. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Potter and Mrs. Delia Hallock, who were called to this city to attend the funeral of the late W. 0. Minor, brother of Mrs, Potter and Mrs. Hallock, returned to their respective homes at Portland on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Perllg, who farm in the Blackhorse country, were . visitors In the city yesterday. Mr. I'erlig has his fall seeding done and is now hoping for a soaking rain to start the grain growing. Dcnn Goodman, of Heppner Garage, took in the big football game at Pend leton on Friday between Oregon and Whitman, and following the game he motored to Portland, where he spent a day or so on business, F. A. McMenamln spent a day or so in the city the end of the week, looking after business matters. He states that he is getting nicely located in Portland, and will have a good business there.

Clarence Bisbee, of Spray, spent , several days in this city on business this week. KANSAS SHOE IGES1CIIII1 Savings Lost to Stock Sharks Total Vast Yearly Sum. MANY ARE IGNORANT Learn First, Spend After, Is His Advice to New Investor. By ARTHUR CAPPER. Editor's Note. Senator Arthur Cap per of Kansas was for many years head of a string of papers, both daily and weekly, the latter farm papers with immense circulations. Thou sands of his subscribers fell victim to men with stock schemes and blue-sky sales and thousands of them wrote to the editor and publisher asking his advice. In the following, he gives that advice to all who care to read and, as Senator Capper's entire life is indication of careful advancement, superior business judgment and the confidence of his . fellow citizens, what he has to say may be accepted without hesitation as the advice of one who knows. Among all the impressive evidence of American solidarity during the war, hardly any was more awakening than the subscriptions to the Liberty Loans. The country had not suspect ed the potential capital fund of the American people. It was a mated by the response of the people to the ap peals of the government for funds. And this astonishment grew as one great loan drive followed another in swift succession. There seemed to be no bottom to the popular purse patriotism. More than 21 million subscribers offered nearly 7 billion dollars for the government bonds. This was' the culmination. The fifth loan was for a smaller amount, which was over subscribed, like all its predecessors. Here, out of the income of two years, a minimum of 21 million per sons had subscribed for some 22 bil lions of war loans. Only Books Showed. ITntM fhia Yhihit of the notential savings or capital fund of the people the only concrete indication of this fund was the books of the savings banks, which prior to the war showed rA nf 11 million denoaltors with balsncei of above t billion dollars And It may be remarked incidentally here that three years after the war, notwithstanding the huge Liberty Bond payments, savings deposits not only have not declined but have in creased by a billion dollars, with an increase net of 300,000 depositors. The ettect proaucea oy mis exiraor In.rv HomnnRtration of the savings capacity of the people is seen in sev eral organisations, governmental and private, since formed to promote sav ing and tnrllt oy puoiiciiy propa ganda. The Treasury Department conducts such a publicity campaign, the Reserve Banks also and one or two private organizations, all urging the people to save. Campaign Is Needed. While the government and other agencies are very active in endeavor ing in InHtif. neonle to save, it is directed to the non-savers, and the only systematic campaign to help the savers to preserve their savings by judicious investment Is a constant campaign in behalf or ireasury notes, short-time investments. An the other hand, there is unin terrupted bombardment of savers by swindling stock promoters end an even more Injurious crusade by well meaning but Ill-advised promoters of. new enterprises, wholly untried, usu ally undercapitalised. In sucn specu lations aa oil and mining and similar ventures. At h purine before the Judiciary Committee of the House in the pres ent session of Congress the Federal P.nm Rnnrii asked for additional legislation to protect savers from swindling stock Jobbers, tne noara making the statment that In the last these swindles had taken from the American people more than half a billion of their saved capital. rroD ably Injudicious speculations took a very much larger sum. Private institutions engaged in le gitimate bond, mortgage and o'.her investments, it seems to me, should awake to the duty of educating the 21 million savers of capital in the United States In caring for their cap ital, once saved. The people neea a ..Mnolvn nf nrlmnrv education on what capital Is, and what investment is. They unstintingly deny tnemsnves luxuries in order to save, and bil llm.. nf this saved caoital. of incal culable value to the nation and all its industries, regularly are wasted in speculation. Msny Are Ignorant. Students of this subject report thnt It is not the untrained mechanic and optliinn nlnne who Is ignorant of the A B C of investment, but among the victims of promotion are mcrcnanis, professional men, and even bankers. Billions of dollars wisely Invested every year which heretofore have been dissipated in speculation will evidently have a capital effect in mit igating panics, business depression and unemployment. An increase, such as it sems there is an opportun ity to secure, In the annual incre ment of saved capital that will be permanently saved by sound invest ment, will be steadily enlarging the national capital fund at a greater rate than heretofore, lower the cost and price of capital, give to every kind of legitimate enterprise a great er sense of socurity and courage, tend to a steadier employment of labor and to a lowered price level and cost of living, consequently a higher standard of living. TJie country should not permit the opportunity to slip by which the Liberty Loon experience opens to it of adding yearly to the capital fund the greater savings of the people. A systematic, Intelligent, organised at tempt should be made to counteract the propaganda of promoters, not merely In the negative way of legis lation against criminal practice, but by positive propaganda setting forth the superior attractions of Safety First in investment. Beware Promoter, It is a large undertaking to get to the people the Safety First idea, but worth whatever effort Ib neces sary. The promoter appeals to raw cupidity, to that propensity to specu late, to accept a chance, to gamble on the future, which is instinctive in ail of uh. He is no mean hypnotist and endeavors to put caution to sleep and by suppression of all conflicting impulses and ideas intensify the pas sion for quick gain. His propagands is alluring, but there is enticement also in other instincts, in self-preservation, in security, in retaining what one has. These are also primary human instincts and are capable of being played on effectively, if one can get the knack of it. Live Cecil News Items.
