Mrs. Cochran heard the expression of many regrets among her friends of our neighboring county that it was not possible for them to come this way any more to do their trading, because of practically impassable roads lead ing out to Heppner, nd It would ap pear that the trade from there is en tirely lost to this town.

A Northern man, spending the sum mer in the South, went to see the last game of a series between two local teams. For a time he could not ob serve any umpire, but at last he spied him sitting up In the grandstand among the spectators. "Great guns, man!" the Northerner exclaimed to a. native. "What's the umpire doing up in the grandstand?" "Well," the native explained, "the spectators used to accuse him of bum work so much tha he allowed if the folks up In the grandstand could see every play so durned good, he'd bet ter go up there to do his umpirin . Everybody's Magazine. tij REV. M. A. MATTHEWS. D. D.. I L. D. DAY OF GRACE. THE day of grace, or the period of .trace, is that period marked by the Cross of Calvary and the morning of the resurrection. Grace began to pour out its stream of God's favor and benevolence on Calvary's brow, when Christ died for men. When the angel shouts, the dead in Christ shall rise first, and on the morning of the resurrection, when Christ begins His reign, the day of grace will end. Between these two events the Church is operating, pre senting the gospel of gace to a lost world. Not one kr.ows when Christ Is cominff. Therefore every one in the Church should work incessantly; work while It la day; work while the day of grace lingers; work while oppor tunity affords; work while life lasts. The period of time In which we can work Is very short. The life of the average Christian Is forty-five years. He must do his best work in the last twenty. When the Christian dies his opportunity to be useful is gone. If he has not preached and worked dur ing that period, then he must pass into the presence of Christ with emp ty hands, unfinished work, and lost souls who might have been touched by him. This is a very sad picture, but j how much more sad is the picture of I the sinner dying before he is saved. ! His day of grace ended In darkness.! There is no chance for him beyond the grave. ! The general period of grace will end with the coming of Christ; but each sinner's day of grace ends the moment his breath leaves his body. He will never be given another chance. He has sinned against light, against God, against opportunity, against the Church, against himself. He is dead, lost, damned; his day of grace ended; he neglected to be sav ed; he is lost. There is no picture in the English language as sad as that. Turn, sinner, turn; why will you die; God, your maker, asks you WHY? GETS OUT ON BAIL. Having put up the bail bond re quired of him, Cecil Legett, who has been held in the county jail in this city for several weeks on a charge of stealing a tirr from the ranch of Hynd Bros, in Sand Hollow, was re leased from custody on Monday. He will appear later before the grand jury for investigation of the charge lodged against him. SWEET CHARITY. A big burley man called at the rec tory, and when the door was opened asked to see the rector's wife, a wom an well known for her charitable im pulses. "Madam," he addressed her in a broken voice, "I wiih to call your at tention to the terrible plipht of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother Is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, cold streets unless some one pays their arrears in rent, which amounts to $r0.M "How terrible! exclaimed the lady. "May I ask who you are?" The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes. "I'm the landlord," he sobbed. American Legion Weekly. lone Man Trades For Place At Hood River A trade involving Morrow and nood River county property was consumat ed this week through the real estate agency of W. 8. Smith. The trade was between J. C. Devin and A. C. Mclntyre, wherein Devin trades his Morrow county holdings of 1240 acres at a valuation of $43,000 for a 50 acre tract in the Hood River valley, valuation $20,000. Mclntyre assumes all liens against the Devin property and pays the difference in cash, which is said to amount to a tidy sum.

The 48th Year Opens September 25, 1923 You will find this to be true That your automobile lubricated with Zero lene will run from 15! to 50 farther without needing to have its valves ground or cylinders rebored. This is so because Zerolene forms so little carbon. That you will get more mileage from yout gasoline, because Zerolene, giving fcettu: lubru cation continuously, permits the delivery of more engine power to the wheels on the ground. That Zerolene will reduce your repair W pense to a minimum and give you greater saris' faction in driving. Therefore we say, "Insist on Zerolene a better oil even if it does cost less."
