SO.V.E good friend of ours, pre sumat'iy a business man of Heppner. mailed us the following clipping, headed Ten Command ments of the Mjil Order House, and from the standpoint of the home merchant, e think it is pretty tfood stuff. 1 You sha'l sell your farm prod uct lor cash, for we buy nothtnp frum you, 2 Vou shall believe in us, because e do not know you personally. 3 You shall send your money to us in advance, so we can buy the Foods from the factory with your money; you may have to wait a few vetks, but that is our business meth od. 4 You shall pet help from your nearest city or village to build good" roads, so you may easily haul our poods from the depot, but do not ask help from us we don't help to build good road s. 6 You may buy church bells and Altar utensils from qs. and send the money in advance that's our rule. 6 You shall pet all the help you can from the business men in your neighborhood ; although we may have more profit from you than they, it is against our rules to gtve to your churches. 7 You shall convert your neigh bors also to your faith in us, for we have room for more money. 8 Y'ou shall look at the pretty pic tures in our cat&iogues as often as you can, so as to strengthen your de sire for the things you do not need but which you may order with other goods to save freight. Send us all your ready cash so that you may not have any left to buy necessaries from your home dealers. 9 You shall believe us rather than your home business men, for we want your trade. We get to be million aires on your support. Don't be bluffed. It) You can call on the business people of your vicinity for help and credit if you meet with hard luck or sickness. It's your money we want. We don't know you unless your or ders are accompanied by cash. We have no estimate at the present time of the amount of money that goes out from Hepp ner to the mail order houses, but the sum is enormous no doubt sufficient to make a good business during the year for a large de partment store. However, the big picture books come along in tons from time to time and are .handed out to practically every resident of the community, and the appeal is one that takes. Local merchants fail to grasp the idea that the pricing and picturing of their wares in an attractive way through the local paper would be the means of offsetting a large amount of this trade and bring it to their doors instead. Then, again, we wonder how many of the local business men practice what they preach, and do their business with the other business man of the town. This might help some. Roads as Americanizers. THE American automobilist is 'seeing the country." There is no doubt about that. He is en joying life in the great outdoors where the air and the sunshine are healthful. Every family in Amer ica of moderate circumstances now has some sot of an automo hiie. Speaking of the situation ( I THINK VIC SO He OUT Enjoying amo houo my- 1 hA3s.e- 1 hah KT Li THe Meuo House 1 MV, a iew Mouse jojst ruMisHt wire f J -J V OV AT GREAT H- ) 7 fe?o.se S c sw- us ,1 y- N ( ue'S AUOArs l)HS f Alt Ml-5 r I , V wW -rH mv otii - tihc i'j v wrteprsr Roof; MOMsef sav; hcuj e-sT -thc- cellar Hy- I M3 K,s J Mudrt to sonI? j u&nMGo ToomG- iyQ ujvpjets K I You chargs A--, -tt- e:sT, J. -t-'v to TeAR b' 1 in the West recently. Secretary Hoover said: "I found them camping out in their automobiles in the hills and alios west of the Mississippi. It is estimated that 5.000 are so en camped." What is true of the West is true of the East and the South from Florida to New England and even into Canada. The people are learning something about the beauties of their country first hand, and better than this, they are learning something about their fellow countrymen. Secretary of Agriculture Jar- dine recently stated: "Communi cation is a great equalizer." As the people in the East go West and the people from the West drive East, as the southerners whiz north and the northerners glide south over the perfect sys tem of roads that is rapidly being completed over the country, they are learning that most Americans are pretty much the same; that a New Englander and a southerner. a Hoosier and an Oregonian are a creat deal alike under the sur face, that all have the same emo tions, the same good points, and the same (let us hope) very few weaknesses. In short, we are rapidly leaving the localized stage and becoming actually Americanized. Hard sur faced roads are bringing this con dition about and if they break down sectional prejudices and ce ment us into one American com munity they will be worth all that they may cost, and ten times over. Reckless Drivers Cause Death Toll. TiHAT the negligent and care less driver, and not the automo bile, is responsible for the toll of death at railroad crossings, is the finding of S. T. Bledsoe, General Counsel of the Santa Fe, who bas es his conclusions upon exhaus tive reports gathered from every possible angle. It is shown that in a year 2268 non-trespassers were killed and 6314 were injured. Automobiles were involved in 84 per cent of these accidents. That the railroads are spend ing immense sums to protect life and property is shown by the' fact that nearly 1,000 railway high way crossings were removed in 1923. although at the same rime 2500 were installed, largely in obedience to public authority. The removal of the grade crossings in the one year, the official states, cost the railroads $75,000,000. In a startling statement. Counsel Bledsoe says it would cost almost as much to remove all the grade crossings on railroads in this coun try as it cost to build the lines. Railroad crossings having the greatest traffic density are protect ed by crossing signs, bells, gates, flagmen and by the ringing of lo comotive bell and sounding of whistles. "A roalroad track and a rail road crossing are danger signals," says the statement. '"One New England railroad having only 230 crossing gates had 390 such gates demolished by automobiles crash ing through them in front of ap proaching trains, in 1923. One Ohio railroad had twenty colli sions between its trains and autos in one year, where the crossings were protected by bells that in each case were ringing." DIPHTHERIA. From State Board of Health. What symptoms should lead you to suspect that a chlid has diphtheria? Diphtheria may be like a severe sore throat with small or large gray or white patches. These patches may ap pear not only on the tonsils, but also on the soft palate. A membrane on the soft palate is almost certainly diphtheria. With such a sore throat the person usually feels sick. Not only does the throat hurt, but there i tjun'!y wekn in the back, neck and Muscles generally. The glands ef the neck may be quite larfre and feel painful he touched. The pa tient may he feverish and delirious, though the fever may not be high. What causes diphtheria? The Klebs Loeffler or diphtheria bacillus. How is it spread? By contact with the infected person or with articles which may have been contaminated by discharges from his nose and throat, or by contact with a diph theria carrier. In what part of the body is the disease located? In the nose and throat, but the poison- generated is absorbed into the body causing degen eration of muscular tissue, heart dis ease and paralysis. Membranous croup is a form of diphtheria involv ing the larynx. At what age is diphtheria most likely to occur? In children under ten. More than 80 of the deaths occur between the ages of one and five. - Is everyone susceptible to diph theria? No, some people possess a natural immunity. Practically all children between the ages of six months and two years are suscepti ble. Is there a way to tell whether a person is immune or not? Yes, a sim ple skin test called the Schick test will determine definitely whether or not a person is immune. Can susceptible persons be rendered immune? Yes, by three injections of toxin-antitoxin. When a person contracts diphtheria, what should be done? Antitoxin should be given immediately even be fore the diagnosis is certain. It can do no harm and it may save a life. Every person who has come in con tact with the sick person should be given a prospective dose of antitoxin. What is the difference between an titoxin and toxin-antitoxin? Anti toxin is given to persons ill with diphtheria and to those who come in contact with them. It gives imme diate immunity for a short time only. Toxin-antitoxin is a mixture ofliph theria toxin and antitoxin given to the well person to protect him against diphtheria. Its action is slower, but when complete the individual is im mune probably for life. Why are cultures taken from the throats of children at the opening of school and during epidemics? Be cause this locates the diphtheria car riers. One percent of school children are carriers. They spread the dis sease and should be immediately iso lated, as -they are a menace to the school. STRICTER TRAFFIC CONTROL URGED Irrigon Correspondent Favors Laws Carrying More Strin gent Penalties. Irrigon, Oregon, Oct. 12, 1925. To the Editor: Shall our highways be made a place of safety, or continue to be death traps? The time is at hand when we must have laws and law enforcement that will protect life and property on our highways. Death and injury are mounting by leaps ar.d bounds, and our laws are by no means keeping puce or such would not bo the case. Every year more men, women and children are recklcscly killed, injur ed or crippled for life. The record shows that these casualties are even greater than was the of life to the nation in the World war, yet but little attention is apparo.tly given to it. Every thoughtful citizen 3houjd cry out against this condition with such force as to bring rcilef froin this useless waste of life. A few simple laws should be all that are necessary to make traveling on our highways safe and secure, and I suggest the following: Every car periodically inspscted as to the proper working of its brakes and mechanical fitness for operation. Every car supplied with a governor control of 30 miles per hour, and periodically inspected. Why pass laws regulating speed limit to 30 or 35 miles and allow cars on the road that can make 80 or 90 miles. We understand human na ture well enough to know that a law of that kind will not' be obeyed, neith er can it be enforced with any suc cess. Every curve should be plainly marked with a white center line and any driver of a car driving over this line while passing another should be subject to a heavy fine combined with a jail sentence and the confiscation of his car. -Further, no one should be allowed to drive a car unless un der bond to pay all damage incurred by reason of accident, thus keeping the road clear of irresponsible driv ers. A liberal reward, say half the fine, hould be paid to any pnrty fur- nishing evidence leading to arrest And conviction of a highway law breaker. The other half of the fine, under the apparent present rate of law viola tion on the highways would be suf ficient to maintain tho roads, assist in building new ones, and thus reduce taxation. Why wait before the curve-passing driver kills or maims some one before he is fined? It is only because the gun is not loaded that nobody gets hurt. Speed cops should watch the curves. The speed maniac on the straight stretch of highway is not apt to hurt any one but himselfr In traveling on the Columbia high way a distance of forty miles, in a ear making twenty-five miles per hour I was passed by cars three times when serious accidents would have occurred had another car been com ing on the other side of the curve. Are we to continue to be heavily taxed to maintain high ways that are little less than public death traps to ourselves and little ones. Civilization cannot progress over the dead and man pled bodies of its citizens or by the highway of grief and sorrow. Let our legislators Visit the Hospitals and view the victims of highway acci dents; see the wounded and dying and witness the suffering caused by reckless and incompetent drivers. They would surely spend some of their time after that in the promo tion of more stringent laws for the making of our highways safe for travel. If we can't control this war like destruction of life in no other way we might at least tear up or leave to decay our highways and pro hibit the manufacture of automobiles. The wholesale destruction should be stopped. MRS. RUBY D. JONES. Strayed 3-year-old black mule. branded inverted 3 on right shoulder. from my pasture 6 miles east of Hardman. Paul Webb, Heppner, Ore.
