"Guess, Hiss Susan would ad.1 dryly, "be never found the rigiit work.' "But be did come to e me," TUly wouid put In tlaiidly ; "every year father cace. And ba waa always far way." "lea, and went on again without In viting you to go with him," Susan would reply, "though you adored the nun Just Like your mother did." Tilly bad secretly adored the good natured big father; always with tears In hr Ured eyea, the recalled the threadbare shabbiness of ban the love In his dark eyes as he bade her goou-by. In later years the roving father wrote less and less frequently. Then bis letters ceased altogether and Tillit was unable to locate him. "Dead, probably," Aune Susan on. ivmpatheticaliy supposed. TUlle's brown hair had tinged wlta gray In her devoted service. But Til lies life had not been altogether col orless. Sometimes she sang a cheery song about her work if Aunt Susan door were closed to the sound, or if her Invalid's chair had been pushed out into the garden. And sometimes when Aunt Susan was carefully wrapped up for alumber Tlllle would tuck a red flower In the waist of her gray dres or add a soft collar of lace. And she was never too tired to greet David, when be came to call, with a smile. David deserved all the comforting comjianloDship that Tilly could give him. It was because of his love for her that he had remained through the disappointing years of bis youth in the narrow confines of the tiny village, leaving for others the greater work that be would have chosen In an outer world; measuring success only as h succeeded In brightening the days of the woman whom be loved and who loved him. David had no cause for affection toward the invalid. Jealously was h i presence forbidden; coldly his over tures of friendliness received. But each year Miss Susan grew more de pendent on Tillies care; more exact ing her demands. "Tlllle!" her voice called now sharply. The woman re placed the photograph she had been lovingly regarding. David had brought the mall from the post office. In tbl chilly hall he dared to linger "The postmark on the letter Is ftam'ied 'Nebraska,' " be said. "I am anxious to bear If you have word from your father, TiUie." She sank down on the lowest vtep of the stair and deliberately read her letter, though the Invalid's dominatiuj tone 11111 summoned. David watched her tenderly, TUlle's cheeks grew softly pink, bei blue eyes looking up startled, brought : forth his question : "What Is It, dear? Tour father deed) but we have thought that for a long time, Tlllle!" She had pressed the letter Into bis hand. "Why, my dear," he said slowly, un believingly "my dear.

"Tlllle I do you realise T Tou will be rich 1" Budden realization shadowed David's face "While I " he added sadly, and stopped. Tlllle came to draw her arm through hla. "We may be rich, David." she cor rected gently, "for I could have no wealth of any kind aimrt from you." Together they entered the Invalid's room. Like a reigning queen she gat among her pillows. "My father," said Tlllle, and the old lotlng pride wus In her tone, "lias left ua a lot of mi ney. Aunt Susan.

And until there is again opportunity for legislative action we urge upon the nation as a whole a thorough atudy of the conditions which have brought the farming in dustry to its present plight, condi tiona which if allowed to continue much longer will permanently wreck agriculture, and with it the nation." The bill had the solid support of the delegation from Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho. U. S. Not Solving Road Problem, Claim At a convention called by Presi dent Coolidge. In Washington, to con sider the subject of Outdoor Recrea tion, Dr. S. II. Johnson, vice president of the National Highways association. spoae on the subject of National Highways and National Parks. In the course of his remarks he brought out the fact that in spite of the enormous sums of money now being spent on roads, the problem is not being met in any effective way. He said, in part: "The Federal Government ia not backing the road-building program as it should. In addition to thia, the present plan, under which congress appropriates money and distributes it to the states to be expended in the construction of the Federal aid sys tem of roads, while a vast improve ment upon the policy it superceded, is not resulting in a proper degree of concentration upon the main trunk lines which are needed to connect section with section, seacoast with mountain, coast with coast, the froi en north, with the sunny skies of Florida and the aouthern tier of states; and the rest of the United States with such recreational areas as those of New England and New York, the southern highlands and the great National Parks. This ia due in no part to Mr. MacDonald, chief of the Bureau of Public Roads, or to his associates, but to the policy and in some instances the law of some of the states in which federal funds are being applied to the building of roads of lesser consequence to the neglect of great through routes reaching from ocean to ocean. "The remedy for this condition is to nationalise the great arterial roads, such as serve the whole nation. The congress should create a 'Nation al Highway and Parkway Commis sion.' Selection should be made of certain arterial roads north and aouth and east and west for first comple tion. The states and counties should be reimbursed for all they have ex pended on these roads and the Fed eral Government should take them over and finish them without further delay, at its own expense, and there after bear all the cost of keeping them in perfect condition. "The scope of this work should in clude parkways. Wherever these great main trunk lines traverse for ests, a right of way at least 1,000 feet wide on either side should be secured and forever preserved as a part of the roadside landscape. SIX CYLINDER LOVE AT CHAUTAUQUA CmUimm4 trow Fin Pif) to take. It ia produced and coached by that reteran Chicago producer. Elima Day, and the cast la an nil pro fessional one. As the opening feature of the week the Davies-Qualen-Greene Entertain ers will make staunch friends for Chautauqua. Originality, charm and variety are emphasiied in their pro gram. David Davies was formerly baritone soloist with The Temple Singers. His voice has unusual tonal richness and depth. He will give several groups of solos ranging from operatic to the ballad type, featuring a group of Welsh folk songs, which are as un usual as they are appealing. John Qualen has exceptional dramatic tal ent and Is both a flute and saxophone soloist. Evelyn Greene gives splen did support with her accompaniments and offers some delightful piano loguea. In the art of winning the lasting friendship and good will of an audience and in giving genuine, unalloyed pleasure through the me dium of their entertainment, this group of entertainers is preeminent. These two programs which start the Chautauqua are only a small part of the exceptional talent which will appear in the big tent at Heppner during the six days, June 30 to July 6. . L. Smith, Lexington farmer, was in Heppner today. Mr. and Mrs. Desser Groshong and children of White Salmon, Wash, and Mrs. Thomas Twohig of Goldendale, Wash., were among the relatives of Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Curran who at- ! tended the wedding of Miss Marie Curran to Jared C. Aiken on Tuesday. There will be a little harvest and a few Extras to buy.

Gilliam & Bisbee EVERYTHING IN Hardware - Implements We have ft, will get H or it is not made. A great many watches are mailed for repairing, especially during harvest, and as this time is nearing a few remarks and sug gestions may not come amiss in regard to packing. A good box, 4 or 5 inches sqaure, should be used. The watch wrapped nd firmly pack ed to prevent bumping against the sides. Cotton should not be used under any con ditions, A larger box costs but 2 or 3 cents extra for postage and usully saves breakage in transit. Insurance on the average watch is 3 to 5 cents and protects one against loss entirely. We stand back of our watch repairing and main springs are guaranteed one year. Mail orders promptly taken care of. Estimates on cost of repairing gladly given.
