Another heavy rain on Monday
night, followed by a big wind on
Tuesday that came near putting the
electric light plant and telephone
eyitem out of commisHion. Power
wai rather intermittant from the elec
tric light plant and lomt of ui fellows
who depend on the juice had to sus
pend operations for a few hours until
the wind died down. The frequent
soakings that this section of the coun
try has received of late is keeping
many of the farmers back with theit
seeding, and they are now hoping for
fairer weather for a season. Thi
may come following the heavy wind
of Tuesday, but we are no weather
prophet.
3, O. Turner, who was in town a
short whlie on Monday, reports that
the heavy rain and hail at his place
north of SwHggart buttet hut week
did considerable damage to hia sum
merfallow in places, washing ditches
through the fields and leaving much
of his grain, that was coming up
nicely, standing high and dry. There
was a lot of hail with the rain, and
this packed the ground.

Portland on Saturday and is spending

L. Ayers, who chaperoned the party.
A big rain storm was' their chief con
solation. Anthony Helms, who has for years
been the efficient editor of the Senti

Safe Road Lighting
of the Next Decade
Cure or Glare Seea In Permanent
Road Lights.
"Legislate against the glaring head
light field," says the motorist. But
legislation doesn't cure the evils of
glare, mainly because the law which
cuts down the glare so it is "safe" al
so cuts down the light so much that
its use fs unsafe.
Comparatively speaking, glareleas
lights can be, and are made, but their
use requires a scientific adjustment
of the lens, reflector and lamp, each
to each and the whole to the running
plane of the car. Such an adjustment
does not remain permanent; varia
tion in tire pressure alter it, and
jars, jolts and looseness of parts alter
the relations of the lamp and reflect
or. f or the present, Detter designs of
lenBcs, fc i enter strictnetts in regula
tion as to tilt of headlights, and new
er and better designs of headlights
must be depneded upon to minimise
if not to cure the evil. But In the
future, the complete cure will come
in lighted highways.
A hundred years ago cities were un
lighted, or, if lighted at all, were
very poorly illuminated. In thous
ands of small towns today the street
lamps are so few and far between that
the neighbor pays his evening visit
equipped with a lantern. Yet our
cities are well lighted, so well light
ed that the "glare" trouble of head
lights is easily solved by forbidding
in cities any but signal headlights!
Exactly as the Post Office Depart
ment maintains beacons to guide its
mail fliers at night, ao will the Na
tional Government eventually light
its national highways at night. With
the volume of traffic which will in
evitably flow over national highways
between great centers, it will be more
economical to light them from the
side, than to permit the motorist to
light his own section of the road with
an illumination which cuases accidents.
"Saturation Point" of
Motors Is Far Distant
Neither I'leasare Nor Commercial De
velopment Near End.
That the country may become "sat
urated" with automobiles, after which
buying will be restricted to a predict
able amount based on cars wearing
out and the increase of population,
hai been a bUKbear to alarmists in
the trade for several years.
Statistics do not bear out these
fears. According to the American
Automobile Association, in all but 9
States, material increases were shown
in number of motor vehicles register
ed during the six months' period of
1!23 over the entire year's registra
tions of 1922. With six months yet
to go on, the record of 1923 in all
States will exceed that of 1922.
The State of Ohio climbed up to
second place in total number of mo
tor vehicles registered, changing
places with California. New York
again leads, with'a total registration
during the six months' period of 1,
025,718 motor vehicles. Ohio is sec
ond, with 965,000, and Californai third
with 933,808. Pennsylvania is fourth
with 933,062; Illinois fifth with 833,
920; Michigan sixth, with 624,590, and
Texas seventi., with 671,981. The to
tal number of motor vehicles regis
tered in all of the States during the
six months' period was 13,002,427, as
against 12,238,376 for the entire year
of 1922.
This shows a healthy growth, which
is always an indication of demand far
beyond that of saturation. But the
real reason for thinking that the satu-
If a McCormack Header is your
choice, buy it now. No McCor
mack Headers manufactured
since 1922 and these will be made
no more. The Dcering will take
the place of the McCormack. We
have a few McCormacks in stock
for this season.
The most economical way to
take care of your grain hay is with
a Binder. We have both the Mc
Cormack and Dcering in stock.
With such a large crop all over
the Northwest there is likely to be
a shortage of Binder Twine. Buy
it now while we have it in stock.

DR. CONOER TAKES DC MP.
According to word received in
Heppner, Doctor Conder wai the vic
tim of an accident on last Friday
morning, that fortunately did not re
mit very seriously. He was driving
to Echo with a load of grain on his
Ford truck, and had reached the mar
ket road at Jarmons. Noting that a
sack of grain near the seat was slip
ping, he attempted to adjust it with
out stopping the machine, and about
the time he made a back handed lift
on the bag of grain, the truck plung
ed off the grade, and seeking to save
himself, hut Jumped and landed in
the gravel on the top of his "dome."
Percy J arm on, who witnessed the ac
robatic performance, ruthed to hii
assistance and picked him op, but
f mnd that no serious injury had re
r.uited, though he wan bleeding pro
fusely from the wounds to his scalp.
No damage wax done to his truck, as
it remained right side op.

Deal In Dollars
T'S GOOD business when you deal in dollars.
You acquire a stock in trade which never
goes below par and is always good in any
market. There is scarcely any reasonable
desire that the average person cannot gratify when
they deal in dollars which is another way of saying
"Thrift."
The rapidly growing habit of thrift among the Ameri
can people and a keen appreciation of the comforts and
security that comes from money in the bank, makes
it necessary that you do likewise else lose out in enjoy
ment of a full nad peaceful old age.
Remember a pass book at a bank is the only dream
book in which dreams come true.
To get ahead, one must have a definite plan about it.
When opportunity knocks have your First National
Bank pass book about you.
