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

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.

disposed of her Eight Mile farm, de

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

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.
