THRIFT WAS THE DIFFERENCE
fixed scale
By BEN Hurt LAMPMAN
Editorial writer Morning Oregonlan,
and author of "How Could 1 Be
Forgetting?"
I once knew a man, employed by
a pubic service corporation, at a
wages shared by
thousands of oth
en performing
the same work,
whose family was
destitute. When a
son died suddenly
it was necessary
for the corpora
tion to advance
funds for burial,
i This man, though
Ate r-ft.ia n many respects
ielJii'd an excellent fel-
Ben Hur Uampmanlow, fostered a be
lief that he was much misused and
had never had a fair chance.
1 knew another man, engaged at
the same employment, from which
he derived not a penny more or
less, whose family was in most
comfortable circumstances. He and
his wife have no apprehensions
concerning the advancing years.
They are not afraid of growing old.
Thrift did It.

THRIFT WEEK SPLENDID IDEA
Bv ROBERT Tt'CKEn
.Tndire of the Circuit Court,
Multnomah County, Oregon
Whoever conceived "Thrift week"
gave the world a splendid idea. It
combines the practical and ideal
and should have
the earnest atten
tion and full co-
! operation of every
I thinking person.
Sharing with
I others, one of the
cardinal princi
ples or thrift as
programmed by
the Y. M. C. A.,
the Oregon Bank
or a' association
Robert Tucker ana me oi ner line
oganizatlons affiliated with the
movement, features the thought
that it is more blessed to give than
to receive. Then there are other
phases worthy of adoption, such as
careful saving of funds; maintain
ing a home budget, making house
keeping more businesslike; prompt
payment of bills; keeping In force
life insurance; owning a home and
making safe and conservative Investments.
THRIFT--THE SUCCESSFUL LIFE
By C. C. COLT
Vice-President, First National Bank
of Portland
Not parsimony, but conscientious
and continuous effort toward the
conservation of all that goes to
make life happier
s ana orignier ana
to advance the in
i terests o f all.
Such Is the real
meaning of thrift,
It seems to me.
If thrift meant
to hoard, or if it

C. C. Colt that when you
consider It carefully.
Thrift really means a blending
Into the life of the Individual or
group of the essential features
which make a well rounded, suc
cessful life.

THRIFT BASIS OF PROSPERITY
By RAYMOND B. WILCOX
President Portland Chamber of
Commerce
As personal thrift is of course the
basis of individual prosperity, so
also the thrift that embraces the
I conservation o 1
our natural re-
I sources and leads
to a spirit of co
i onerntlon of all
forces In the sav
ing of time, as
well as money, Is
the basis of com-
I munlty prosperity.
( Thrift on a large
j scale, on the ba
'i sis of community
m needs, and
Raymond Wilcox movement having
for its object the education of the
ontlre community In the meaning
of co-operative thrift, Js deserving
of the support of all.
There is a need for a thorough
going, painstaking effort along these
llneB in order to coordinate all the
forces of a .community for the ad
vancement of the large Interests of
all so that there may he plenty for
all who so plan their life course as
to be worthy of the rewards. Thrift
thus conducted has potential possfc
bilitios without limit.

MRS. A. T. HBBEIM. Correspondent.
There isn't a great amount of news
torn this vicinity this week as there
are so many persons ill with the flu
which seems to be so prevalent every
where. We were unable to get the
names of all, but some who have been
having a siege have had an interest
ing time of it indeed. The Ayres fam
ily were all ill at the same time and
all but the head of the house were in
bed at once at the Wicklanders, and
nearly all of the Robt. Wilson family
have been ill at the same time. The
Ray Brown family also were all ill
simultaneously. Mr. Messenger and
Lois, Mrs. Rands, Agees, Jack Gor
ham and Janet, Mrs. Ballenger are
some of the victims. School was al
most demoralized with so many pupils
absent. Fortunately this doesn't seem
to be as severe as the Spanish influ
enza epidemic which swept the coun
try during war times and resulted in
so many deaths.
Deibert Johnson left Saturday for
a visit in Portland. He will spend
several days there.
J. N. Cornwell and wife of Albany
came last week and Mr. Cornwell has
taken up his work here as manual
training and science teacher in place
of Clark M. Jantzen who resigned re
cently. Mr. Cornwell has been taking
some post graduate work at Albany
college. He has rented the little
house of Fortiers'. Mr. Cornwell is
the son of missionary parents and he
was born in China. He speaks both
the Chinese and French languages.
An error was made in stating the
date of the coming of Dr. Maude Al
len, who will be here on Saturday, the
22nd instead of Friday the 21st. (For
tunately this wasn't art error 'n the
part of the reporter.) It is rogretted
that this misake was made.
There was a good attendance at P.
T. A. on Tuesday of last week. Fred
W. Parks spoke on Americanization
in a very interesting manner. There
is a large field for Americanization in
this particular community since there
are many foreigners employed here
on the sections. An opportunity will
be given at night school for those
who are interested to take up the
work so that naturalization papers
may eventually be taken out. Mr.
Boardman and Sunt, Kelly spoke
about beautification of the school
grounds. Mrs. Feess played two se
lections. Lee Mead, the new presi
dent, presided at the meting. The
next meeting will be the first Tuesday
in February. Remember the date.
The grange did not meet Saturday
night because of so much sickness in
the community.
Harvey Lee son iB here with a bridge
gang who are constructing a new coal
dock at Messner.
Lee Root went to Pendleton Satur
day night to see his son Richard who
was not so well. He has been up
there fro sox weeks having had a ser
ious appendicitis operation. Com
plications have developed which nec
essitated his remaining at the hos
pital this long time. Mr. Root will
remain there until Richard is better.
Mr. and Mrs. Billy Imus of Everett,
Wash., were here last week visiting
at the Imus and Gross homes. They
were here on their honeymoon and
thoroughly enjoyed the snowstorm
which came during their stay.
An important meeting will be held
on Friday, Jan. 29, for the members
of the commercial club. Keep the
date in mind. Boardmanites need ap
pointment books to keep the various
important meetings in mind.
On Friday, Jan. 21 (the day the pa
per comes here) a meeting will be
held at the school house concerning
the .growing and marketing of aspar
agus with Mr. Lee Lampson, manager
of the Three Rivers association, as
speaker. County Agent Morse will
speak on the possibilities of a Grimm
alfalfa seed pool and also securing!
seed potatoes.
No church or Sunday school serv
ices were held Sunday because of flu
but unless further notice is given
they will be resumed next Sunday.
Mr. and Mrs. A. Potter have re
turned from a visit of several weeks
in Portland.
Glen Hadley motored to Heppner
Saturday on business.
P. J. Hcrlsey of Donald, Wash., was
a guest at the Lee Mead home for a
r,hort time last week. He is an uncle
of Mrs. Mead.
Announcements were received some
time ago of the marriage of Uran
Henry Messenger to Frances Grubb
of Turlock, Calif., on Jan. 1st. They
will make their home in Portland.
Uran is a graduate of the Boardman
High school and went through 0. A.
C. without outside financial help. He
is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Mes
senger and has many friends here
who are interested to hear of his
marriage. His wife is not known
here, but she was also an 0. A. C.
student and is a charming gril.
It has been decided to hold the
election for road supervisor on Jan.
29.
Mrs. Lee Mead came home Thurs
day from Corvallis where she attend

lecturers' school held under the di
rection of the Oregon State Grange
and extension service at 0. A. C.
Many interesting lectures were given
and much work was explained that
could be applied in the local granges,
which, of course, was the purpose of
the school. Prof. C. J. Kurd, Mrs.
Bond, state lecturer, Mr. Palmiter,
state master, all had important places
on the program. There were 91 en
rolled in the school which is a splen
did showing since this is a new ven
ture and the first school of its kind
held in the state. Mrs. Fryrear of the
Rhea creek grange was the only oth
er person from this section.
Boardman has again been in the
throes of a row over the position of
road superintendent and finally the
officials at Heppner, apparently in
despair, decided to let the people here
elect their own supervisor, so a spec
ial election will be held probably on
Saturday, the 22nd. Clarence Berger
is the present overseer, appointed to
take the place of John Jenkins, and
he has filled the position in a satis
factory manner to a great many, but
there are always a certain few who
find fault and desire a change, Ralph
Humphrey has been mentioned as the
proper person to fill this position.
Ralph is a fine chap and has many
friends here but without doubt in a
few months criticism of his work
would be rampant as has been the
case with all who have held the posi
tion. It is too much like the position
of school director, except that it does
carry a stipend with it which acts as
a balm to the weary spirit beaten
by harsh objuration and carking crit
icisms. Newly installed officers of Green
field Grange are, Master, Chas. Wick-
lander; Overseer, Paul M. Smith; Lec
turer, Mrs. Lee Mead; Steward, R.
Wasmer; -assistant Steward, Lee
Mead; Chaplain, Mrs. Lily Nizer:
Treasurer, L. V. Root; Secretary, C.
H. Diilabough; Gate Keeper, Ray
Brown; Pomona, Mrs. Chaffee; Ceres,
Mrs. I. Skoubo; Flora. Mrs. P. Smith:
Lady Assistant Steward, Mrs. Brice
Diilabough.
Notice is hereby given that ar
rangements will be made for the elec
tion of three directors for the North
Morrow County Fair at the same time
that ballots are cast for road over
seer. Signed, Mrs. Wicklander, Pres.
and C. H. Diilabough, Sec, old board.
Keep this in mind and don't forget
to vote.
It was planned to open niirht school
this week, but because of so much
sickness it was postponed. Much in
terest is being shown in this and
many are plannir.g to attend.
RURAL SANITATION
From State Board of Health.
The fact that over 80 per cent of
the rural population of the state of
Oregon is without adequate health
service is a serious matter. It means
that the wealth and lives of many of
our citizens are being sacrificed be
cause efficient health service is not
available.
The county Is the weakest link in
the sanitary chain. This is largely
due to economic reasons, with the
added handicaps of inadequate organ
ization and great distances. From the
standpoint of communicable diseases
our cities are now safer places to
live than in the country districts.
Before the days of modern sanitation
cities had double the death rate of
the country.
Infection is transmitted from the
country to the city in the water, milk
and food supplies. It is carried back
and forth in the persons of cases and
carriers. Opportunities for contact
infection are much more frequent
among the rural population than is
ordinarily conceived. Diseases trans
mitted by contact infection often
spread through a sparsely settled
country district like wildfire.
Rural buildings are often crowded,
dark and unsanitary. Sewage dis
posal is apt to be primitive. Water
supply from shallow wells is an add
ed danger. It is a difficult matter to
maintain the grounds surrounding the
farm houses free from the accumula
tion of Tefuse matter.
Rural sanitation is expensive, but
costs less than sickness. There
should be a full-time health officer in
every county with one or two nurses
to carry on the needed work.
Without moral support and finan
cial assistance from the state, coun
ties are not disposed to support a
full-time health unit. A health con
dition in one county materially in
fluences that in other counties, and
it is natural that county officials
should think that the state should
varticipate in the maintenance of an
efficient health service.
It is of the highest importance that
the state should direct and supervise
disease control throughout the state.
When the state subsidizes county
units the necessity of cooperation
with state agencies is practically
mandatory. A definite method of pro
cedure also insures efficient work
throughout the state.
The results of full-time county
work have been highly satisfactory,
and have contributed to the prosper
ity of the state where a majority of
the counties have adopted this mod
ern health service.

A WESTERN THRILLER OF ADVENTURE
AND ROMANCE
Gay Chimney Trail
By EDWIN LEGRANDE SABIN .
To be completed in Twelve Instalments ( 1 2 weks) in

THE WRITER AND HIS STORY
"Clay Chimney Trail" a story from the West, by
Edwin Legrand Sabin, moving fast in plot and ac
tion, will be a feature of Heppner Gazette Times for
the next twelve weeks.
The Western yarns of Edwin L. Sabin are known
to readers throughout the land because he lived his
West as a youth and since 1900 has been contributing
fiction which has made Amerca's West known in all
parts of the world. It was Mr. Sabin who won his
laurels with such stories as "Bar B," "Circle K," "The
City of the Sun" and his last great hit, "White In
dian." In "Clay Chimney Trail," this new Autocaster
serial, first instalment of which will be published
next week the action starts in one of those rail
ghost camps of 1885 which sprung up overnight to
live a hectic six months before the railroad builders
pushed tendrils of steel on to the west and with
them went the men and women leaving in the wake
only black, stark, crumbling chimneys of clay.
A pilgrim rides west to these scenes advised by
the family doctor to find a clime high and dry. Be
fore his train reaches the Wyoming state line ac
tion starts for him and his state of health is soon for
gotten in the whirl of adventure both dramatic and
romantic during the twenty wakeful hours of the
vivid daily life in Benton, Wyoming.
Yes there are wagon trains ; gambling flim
flam of The Big Tent ; two-gun westerners ; whiskey-drinking
bad men; love interest; a battle to
the death ; Indians and then facing East the Pil
grim is not alone, because blue-eyes go with him
and is happy.
