LATOURELL CLEANS UP FORDS. The Latourell Auto company this week made a clean-up of all Ford cars on their floor at Heppner head quarters, and the salesmen of that institution have to their credit the disposal of 13 cars for the month of March, and the demand seems to grow. No month of March in the history of the Latourell company in Heppner haa reached this record, so states C. H. Latourell, Ford distribu tor for this territory. A new carload of Fordn arrived the first of the week. After Every Meal It's the longest-lasting confection you can buy -and It's a help to di gestion and a cleanser lor the mouth and teeth.

The eight hour day, brought about by governmental legialation, labor saving devices, and union agi tation ia here to stay. Work ia a wonderful tonic. Exertion should be alwaya a purposeful pleasure.

On the other hand idleness is the breeder of trouble and discontent. The rem edy for the evils of idleness is ob viously to And some useful work which will inspire real interest and enthusiasm. Play Constructively and Intelligently Eight Hours. Aa an offset to occupations that do not give full play to the muscular and mental possibilities it ia import ant that definite periods be given to exercising the muscles and faculties. Play should be active, and not entire ly passive. The sedentary worker should exercise. The most beneficial exercises are those that stimulate the heart and lungs such aa running, rapid walking, hill climbing, swim ming. Proper kinds of amusement are es sential. The proper kind and amount of recreation make life more vital, mora bearable, more wholesome. It quickens the individual's thoughts in audi a way as to make him economic ally more efficient. The presence of the play spirit means adaptability, capacity for quickly appreciating the influences about them, keen enjoy ment of the game, whatever it is that in being played, and a consciousness GENUINE "BULL" DURHAM 7 n 15 A BAG You can roll lOOCkarettes JvrlsCmts j-i i I Fuller I Herds theplace The merchant who displays this sign is ready to supply you with Fuller Paint and Varnish Products.

In Pacific Coail Clllm FUL LER PAINTSLVARNISHES Is Five Cents on the Dollar of Valuation Too Much to Earn? If a business worth $10,000 earned $500 net income in a year (or $41 a month), would it be considered an unreas onable profit and proof that its prices were .too high? The railroads are in that situation today. The 1923 net return for the whole country was less than 5 per cent. As of December 31, 1919, the Interstate Com merce Commission gave to the railroads a tentative valua tion of $18,900,000,000. With actual figures for 1920, 1921, 1922, and with 1923 conservatively estimated as $1,100, 000,000, there has been invested in the railways since this tentative valuation a net amount of $2,371,583,000, making the value as of Dcccmbef 31, 1923, $21,271,583,000. On this amount the Railways in 1923 earned an aggregate net operating income of approximately $997,610,000, or 4.69 per cent. The Government guarantee of earnings expired August 31,1920. If this guarantee had been continued as repeat edly but erroneously claimed the Government would owe the railroads more than a billion dollars. Last year the roads handled a record volume of business but could not earn the fair return of 5 Per cent n 8 year, what will they do in a small year? The Transportation Act provides that if a road in any year earns more than 6 per cent it shall pay one-half of the excess to the Government. The Act is, therefore, a limita tion rather than a guarantee. Give Transportation Act Fair Trial The Transportation Act should be given a fair test and Its morita judged by the results of a normal period of reasonable length. The year 1923 was the first since the war under condi tions approaching stabilization. What the railroad situation demands just now is not more law but more confidence, The railroads have emerged from the welter of the wnr, restored their morale, made enormous Investments of new money, and in 111211 handled a peak of business with universal satisfaction. The Transportation Act Is the only really constructive railroad legislation of a generation. Previous acts wore almost solely repressive. In framing he Act the public interest was paramount. The Art directs the Interstate Commerce Commission to "give due consideration to the transportation needs of the country and the necessity of enlarging railway facilities in order to provide the people of the United States with adequate transportation." Give the Act a chance. Don't amend it. If the roads are let alone they should mnke as good a record for efficiency this year as last. Constructive suggestions are always wolcome. C. R. GRAY, Omaha, Nebrnskn, President. April 1, 11124. UNION PACIFIC SYSTEM that thtrs r other players beside themselves. Sleey Oatdoora er la a Well Veat I la- ted Room Eifffat Hoars. The subject of sleep has always ex cited wonder. The necessity of this particular kind of inaction or sus pension of consciousness which oc curs periodically in man and all the lower animals, with general suppres sion of functional activity, is one of the most interesting of natural phe nomena. Just why an individual must sleep away one-third of his ex- stence has not as yet been satisfac torily explained. Sleep is natures great rejuvenator. Your sleep should be sufficient and regular. Go to sleep with pleasant thoughts, and your sleep will be peaceful and restful. If one is worried it is a good plan to read something diverting, but not exciting just before retiring. Regular Work, Regular Flay, and Regular Sleep are habits that pro long life, health, and happiness. SAYS COUNTY FLOURISHES. D. J. Butcher, manager of the local telephone exchange returned Friday evening from a trip to Arlington, Heppner, Lexington and lone. He stated that the farmers in the sec tions visited are very, very much pleased over the rain and snow which came as a boon to them at this sea son. As Mr. Butcher traveled up Willow creek, where thousands of sheep are wintered each year, he saw hay-stacks every way he looked, feed left over because of the mild winter. Farmers stated that they had been busy irrigating their large alfalfa fields until the rain came, as the ground needed the water badly. Wil low creek extends about 60 miles into the foothills or mountain district, from which it draws its source of water supply and ranchers along its border were rejoicing over the fact that much snow had fallen in the hills during the storm. The sheep men reported a wondarfut lambing season with sheep coming out for the spring in fine condition. One large wner declared that he had fed about 25 per cent as much hay this winter as he Bseally finds necessary in that section.
