I T WAS not altogether on ac- count of his excellent ability as a jurist that Gilbert W. Phelps was held in high esteem. He was re membered at Heppner as a man who took a keen interest in public affairs, and as a citizen in this community he was a kind neigh bor and friend. Expressive of a feeling that is unanimous among those of our community who knew Judge Phelps from the time that he began his career here, is this estimate of him contained in a recent issue of Pendleton East Oregonian : During his long service on the bench Judge G. W. Phelps acquired an excellent reputation as a jurist. He was a keen minded, fair minded lawyer. When he gave a decision it was rarely reversed. Prominent at torneys practicing in his court and representing litigants that won and litigants who lost usually united in saying the judge was capable and im partial. However, through the death of Judge Phelps we have lost more than a circuit judge. He was best liked as a neighbor and citizen. He was pleasant mannered, broad minded and always tried to be helpful. He did much for the community and in many ways. When the Umatilla rapids as sociation was formed and an out standing man was wanted for the presidency, he responded. He was impressed with the opportunity for service and he took hold with energy and goodwill. He worked quietly but he did some real work that was not in vain. It was during his incum bency that the federal survey was secured. As a member of the city school board and as a member of many other local organizations the judge gave similar service. His breakdown was largely due to the fact that he drew too strongly upon bis stock of nerv ous energy. His judicial duties were heavy enough for one man, but he did not stop there. He was of an active nature and when he took hold of a subject he worked hard. Often such work involves a strain not real ized by those who escape such duties. Had Judge Phelps thought more about himself and less about serving others he would be alive today. However, we live but once and is it not what we do that counts, not length of life? "Only Solution More Jobs." Oregon Voter. MORE factories, more pay rolls, more jobs, are Oregon's needs. Cities and towns in Ore gon that spend 18.19 per cent of the 1927 taxes levied in the state, also want more factories, more pay rolls, more jobs. Progressive communities realize that more in come is a better solution of our tax problem. More income means more customers and more custom ers mean more fncome for those who sell services and commodities to those who have the jobs. A state that encourages more VoureMverTpo Old , You sav vou're "too old"? Well, fonret itt O.Lawrence Hawthorne And join You re WKZ orZii The BtEraak Crane Says HOME MAKING TRULY AN ART PROBABLY more human happiness depend upon how a home is kept than upon any other thing. Previously our schools have devoted little time to this im portant subject. Pupils are taught geometry, geography and arithmetic, they are taught logic and latin and music and all sorts of plain and ornamental information, but not home-keeping. It is necessary to elevate the business of home-making into an art, to get people enthusiastic about it and to impress upon the mind of youth its dignity and importance. At the State Teachers' College in Pittsburg, Kansas, they have established a house for the purpose of developing right standards of courtesy, hospitality and social graces, etc., all necessary in the successful management of a home. They have secured a house, such a one s would be used by family of moderate means, and instruct pupils how to take care of it. They have a house manager who plans menus, does market, ing presides at the table and so on. They teach the girls how to cook, prepare food and keep the kitchen in order. A nother girl assists the cook in preparing salads, cares for the dining room and acts as waitress. Still another is called housekeeper. She dusts and keeps the house in clean order. A laundress tends to the house linen and stokes the furnace. The duties are rotated so that a student gets practice in every kind of home work. They have guests and often entertain the president of the college and the faculty. The house is managed on a budget plan and all expenditures are limited. The records are kept in permanent form. The house is self-supporting and the students pay for room and board. As there is no child in the house they are going to adopt a child and study child training. Since so much depends upon the way a home is kept this sort of training seems to be sensible. factories, more jobs, more pay rolls, will become favorably known as a desirable location for new industries. A state that dis courages new industries through infliction of taxes that competitors in other states don't bear, places not only the state as a tax-levying body at a disadvantage but also cities that are ambitious and pro gressive and that are not depress ed by taxes so long as taxes pay for civic betterments and necessi ties. North Bend recently adopted a charter amendment that relieves new industries that locate in that city of their taxes for a period of ten years. That direct inducement or bonus to pay rolls is in direct contrast to the effect of income tax. Income tax would penalize the more successful mill or factory operators by levying added tax up on the fruits of their successful efforts. North Bend encourages skilled management. It wants to benefit from the eftect of more jobs, so it waives city taxes. There must be a potency in pay rolls when a city will do that. La Grande News expresses a similar sentiment. That city needs "plain jobs for plain people" in order that the city may progress. We .quote from the News editor ial in full: It costs six per cent to live in La Grande. That is the sum total of the tax bill against property in La Grande. We live well, but the ex pense is great. The encouraging feature of the cost problem is that there is every indication that it is going to cost more. We need so many things. The new high school for instance. We are up against a new school building now and the nec essity will reach us soon. It will be but a short time before we will be compelled to replace the greater part You say you're "too old"?

J of the city water mains. New im provement districts are being creat- ed at nearly every meeting of the City Commission, and there is de mand to extend the ornamental street lighting system. All will cost money, but is necessary. The city owes in one way and another nearly a million dollars now. In order to meet all these bills and be able to look the tax collector in the face there just nat urally must be more jobs, more con servatism of raw material and less waste. The only solution of the prob lem is more factories, more pay rolls. more jobs. There are always plenty of positions and situations, but plain jobs for plain people is what th town needs most. Time's Up! TT IS possible 'the father of wa J. ters the Mississippi has giv en us a political issue for 1928 Certain it is that the nation has suffered one of its greatest calam ities during the last few weeks. It must not occur again. Whether or not the people should demand a special session of Congress to take immediate ac tion, is a question. We are so farful such session might run into political jockeying, maneuverings filibuster or what not that we hesi tate to advocate such session However: For twenty yeras Congress has known this condition must be fa; ed and action taken to eliminate a flood of this kind. It was only a question of time when all head waters would be high at the same time. That condition came about this year. You see the results. President Roostvelt's Conserva tion Commission engineers urged that Mississippi floods be abolish ed by storage reservoirs at head waters and its main tributaries, That was twenty years ago and since then Congress has evidently had more important business than to protect the thousands in the Mississippi valley against devasta tion. Whether it be special session or the regular session in Decern ber, the first thing Congress should consider and adopt is Secretary Hoover's national plan for water conservation and distribution. One project therein is designed to bar any repetition of the Mississippi disaster by building thirteen stor age dams in the headwaters of the Cumberland and Tennessee riv ers, incidentally developing un known horsepower of electric en ergy. When these two rivers are contralled, the Mississippi will be harmless. We were rich enough to retire one billion dollars of our national debt last year. We are talking about another three hundred mil lion dollar tax cut next session of Congress. Therefore, we are too rich to keep congressmen in office who will not protect our fellow citizens and home builders, but instead, spend their time playing politics tor corporate interests. Electricity Transforms a Nation. M ANY who think of our coun try as a great nation indus trially, think only of industries in the large cities. But the indust rial output of country towns and small cities is gradually surpass ing in volume the output of the great metropolises. Just as country towns and small er cities hold preponderance of newspaper circulation in the na tion, so the thousands of smaller industries hold the preponderance of payrolls and general produc tion, except in a few highly spec ialized industries. This remarkable rural growth has taken place largely within the last 25 years, and would have been impossible without the far-reach- ng benefits derived from electric al development. Large power plants and inter connected systems which deliver power at practically any point, have enabled industries to move from crowded centers to smaller towns, and even into the country. Better' living and labor condi tions have resulted. Electricity has given every ham- let light and modern entertain' ment, while the telephone and au tomobile have made neighbors out of the whole nation. Radio, the youngest child of electricity, has brought the rural districts into im mediate and constant communica tion with the metropolitan cert ters. Is it any wonder the country towns and smaller cities grow, when they have virtually a'l the advantages and conveniences en joyed in the largest cities, without the disadvantages. Electricity is the reason for our marvelous rural and smaller city transformation. Will Jack Dempsey fight again? now seems to be the public ques tion. Sure he will.

Rape makes good summer pasture in Oregon for sheep, hogs or other stocks, says the experiment station. Five or six pounds of seed alone or three to five pounds of seed with the recommended seedings of clover give good pasture during the summer months. Deep and mellow seed bed is best for potatoes. Hard and cloddy soil causes low yields and rough tubers in Oregon. Many poor stands are caused by faulty planting which can be remedied either by getting a sat isfactory machine or planting by hand when acreage is small.
