FIVE freeholders attended the city budget meeting Monday and voted an increase of $4000 in the street improvement fund for 1928. One acted as chairman of the meeting and the remaining four transacted the business, These men are to be commended for their action. This fall the city fathers had an opportunity to make a good buy on gravel. They contracted for a large amount and proceeded to improve streets at a cost of $4000 borrowing this sum from the wa ter fund, to be paid back out of the amount provided in next year's budget. The budget com mittee which met three weeks ago set this amount at $5000. After spreading the gravel al- ready contracted for, which was insufficient to really complete the portion of streets on which it was placed, the city faced the situa tion of having its street improve ment fund practically depleted be fore the year has commenced, with nothing provided for binding much of the gravel and very little for maintenance. Every whit in agreement with the city's street improvement pol icy, but believing a large part of the benefit from the investment already made would be lost if more money were not provided, the gentlemen who attended the budget meeting considered it enly good business to provide an ade quate additional sum to more ful ly complete the work and take . care of the investment already made. Hence they voted the in crease. The budget committee had made cuts elsewhere in the bud get amounting to $3200, so that the $4000 addition, did not in crease the total exceed 6 per cent of the total for 1927. It is only lamentable that a more general interest does not exist in city governmental affairs. 5 To our certain knowledge the mat ter was discussed quite freely and declarations were many times heard that the amount for street improvement should have been more. It remained for the five, however, to show the courage of their convictions. Whether they be right or wrong, they are to be commended for their action. This paper has many times plead for civic improvements of various kinds, believing well planned reasonable expenditure, for the purpose to be a wise in vestment.

The crickets' sawing and the And the elm leaves' rustling in DrFrank Crane Says THE RIGHT KIND OF PATRIOTISM. A patriotic deed is one which reflects honor and glory upon one's country. We recognize General Grant, the Duke of Wellington and Napoleon as patriots because they led armed forces of their re spective countries. , ( The exploits of Colonel Lindbergh, together with that of Chamberlin and Levine, have glorified the United States. But this glory was not offset by any rancor incurred by other coun tries. France and Germany were just as enthusiastic in ac claiming the exploits of our fliers as we were. This is the right kind of patriotism and patriotic action, for it is one which exalts one's native country and at the same time does not awaken ani mosity in other peoples. Undoubtedly Thomas Edison has glorified his own country quite as much as General Grant. On a vote taken in France recently the most popular Frenchman was found to be not Napoleon, but Louis Pasteur. So Darwin and Jenner have done more to exalt the prestige of England than Drake and Wellington. Koch and Goethe have spread the fame of Germany far more than Von Moltke and Ludenburg, and Marconi and Bel lanca have made Italy famous and are entitled to the gratitude of their country quite as much as Garibaldi. Tolstoy has done more to spread the renown of Russia than all her warriors. This throws a welcome light upon true patriotism which is found in that harmless rivalry of achievement by the members of the various national groups. There is no bad blood in this competition. There is nothing gained for one country which is not equally valuable for the whole world. We are learning that to be a good national is to be a good world citizen, and the applause of mankind is quite as valuable as the applause of one's fellow citizens. In order to elevate our country and to magnify it, it is no longer necessary to go out and kill somebody to annex some other territory; it is better to do something that shall excite both the emulation and the applause of the whole world. True patriotism consists in making our country stronger and better and not necessarily belittling another country. the best living conditions possible for their money. If these condi tions can be made satisfactory, our people will continue to live, work and play here, assuring that the business and social life of the community will keep up at least to where it has been in the past. And, again, the more attractive our little city can be made, the larger the bid it may make for new citizens and new life. Farm ers who retire from the farm and who have their friends here may be content to reside at Heppner instead of going to Walla Walla, Portland, or elsewhere; their mon ey may be kept invested here, and thus the town may be enabled to progress. Every large city grew from a small beginning. And though Heppner may never be a metropolis, may it some day be said to be the best little city any where. It can be done, and it's on the way. Wanted A Leader. WITH a presidential year in the offing and the Seventieth Congress facing a staggering amount of work, the country needs more than ever real leadership. Mere politicians need not apply, for politicians' feet won't fit statesmen's shoes. Lack of leadership has been one of the chief reasons for the decline in interest in matters po litical on the part of an alarm ingly large percentage of voters. i J if fames Jewis HaifS the soil scent blows, moon's soft light 'V the dark are mine!l turn Nawipuptr Union, 1627 There are issues in plenty but an issue that is straddled will not bring the voters to the polls. Here is a chance for real leaders, strong men who won't straddle because they don't know how, to add to their following. The tendency in Congress prob ably will be to dodge important votes as much as possible, but there are some matters facing Congress that can hardly be side stepped. Aid for the farmers, reduction of taxes, Mississippi flood relief, Muscle Shoals and Boulder Dam are among them. Leaders are needed to force the issue. The stage is set, and the curtain has gone up. The country waits for the leaders to make their bows. It's an excellent chance for somebody. Who will it be? Agriculture. AGRICULTURE has made sub stantial gains fluring the year, says Secretary of Agriculture William M. Jardine in his annual report. The farmers' millenium, however, is not yet here. In many parts of the country one-third of the farmers' net in come goes for taxes on farm land, Secreiary Jardine says department figures show. Yet the farmers' tax problems are chiefly state and lo cal, only a small part being paid to the central Government. Hence the farmers' tax problems must be worked out on a state and local basis. Here is a sentence from his re port that will bear study : "While farmers themselves are reducing their costs of production through increased efficiency, public agen cies should co-operate with them in effecting a better adjustment of production to demand, also efforts should be made to diminish waste, to lessen margins between pro ducers' and consumers' prices, to reduce transportation and distri bution costs, and to lessen the far mers' overhead charges by lower ing or redistributing tax burdens and by improving agricultural credit facilities." Santa Claus. WHO says there isn't any San ta Claus? If any such there be, let him read this: Saint Nicholas was an actual person. He was bishop of Myria, in Lycia, Asia Minor, in the first part of the fourth century of the Christian era. His father was a wealthy merchant, and Nicholas was known as a dispenser of the good things of life. Thus he came into universal popularity as the generous giver. The American term,' Santa Claus, probably originated, says one authority, through the slurring of the generous fellow's earlier name, Saint Nicholas. This au thority thinks American children are probably the only ones in the world who call him Santa Claus. FEEDER LAMBS SHIPPED. Ten cars of feeder lambs were ship ped from th local yards on Saturday, hteir destination being Omaha, where they will be held and fed for a few weeks and taken to the Chicago mar ket. The lambs were sold to Messrs. Mackey & Clark of Billings, Mon tana by R. A, Thompson and C. W. McNamer, who purchased them a few months ago and hae had them on good grass during the fall. They were all wether lamb sand averaged in weight around 75 pounds. Messrs. Thompson and McNamer are well sat isfied with th results of the trans action. Fortune-Teller: "Beware of a handsome, tall blonde." Weary Willie (sadly): "Too late. I've married her." P: "Biffer has worked himself up, hasn't, he?" S: "How do you mean?" "He used to be a chiropodist, now he s a dentist." Bella: "I wonder how the expres sion 'an arm of the sea' originated?' Don (with a tender look): "Per haps somebody noticed that It hugged the shore." Buyer: "Does this flannel shrink?" Clerk: "Not so much as I would from telling you it didn't, if it did." Mrs. Youngbride: "I don't want to have any trouble with you, Bridget." Cook: "Then, bedad, ma am, let me hear no complaints. Doctor: "You had better be X- rayed." Patient: "There s no need. Get my wife; she's always been able to see through me." This is a story of the Wild and Wooly West. It concerns the sheriff of Tin Spout, who dispersed an angry mob with a few well-chosen words, "Yes," said the sheriff, relating the story, "I managed to quieten 'em down all right. When the boys swarmed round the gaol 4 stepped out with a couple of guns in my hands an' spoke sorter sooth in' to 'em." "What did you say?" "I just reminded 'em that my brother was runnin' the only under taker's in the town, an' everybody that knowed me knowed I was a strong family man who'd do any thing in reason to boost the business of a relative." The Bore: "I feel thoroughly wound up tonight." Hostess: "How strange! And yet you don't seem to go." "Oh, yes," she said, "we can trace our ancestors back to to well, I don't know exactly who, but weVe been descending for centuries." Hotel Manager: ''You must please pay in advance, sir. Your luggage is too emotional." Guest: "Emotional?" "Yes easily moved." LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OF SALE OF ANIMALS.
