"But be did come to e me," TUly
wouid put In tlaiidly ; "every year

"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. It is like a
story. let It must "te rue i lawyer's
letter. It a-eni8 that your father
bought tills land In Nebraska yean
ago, when Unit he left you.
"Now, oo this land, barren and far
from a city years ago. they wish to
vert a great apartment bnildlng.
"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. Yon

It; we will find a kind nurne for you

"II Is so father would have wished,"
added Die loyal daughter.

McNARY-HAUGEN
BILL IS DEFEATED
(Continued from First Page)
of the McNary-Haugen bill. A nation-wide
conference of farm organi
sations will meet in St. Paul on July
17 and 18 and perfect arrangements
for expanding and carrying on the
campaign it r agricultural justice and
equality. 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.

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.

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

is 3 to 5 cents and protects one against loss
entirely.
We stand back of our watch repairing
