Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION GROSS THOUGHTLESSNESS. AT THE fire Saturday evening, two automobiles were seen to run across the fire hose- No one seems to know who drove the auto mobiles or they would be duly chas tised. If they were to be fined $100 for this seemingly slight offense, they would probably consider it an outrage. As a matter of fact this is the approximate cost of a section of fire hose, which may be made en tirely worthless by being run over once. A puncture of the rubber lining is almost inevitable when the hose is ground between the weight of an automobile and sharp rock such as is the surface of the macad am road where the hose was laying. When the pressure is turned on the hose is liable, at some unforseen moment, to give way, causing delay that in case of a bad fire might amount to hundreds and even thous ands of dollars. Also It is impossi ble to repair the hose. One hun dred dollars would seem, then, to be ,an equitable assessment on people who thoughtlessly run over a fire hose. It happened that the fire Satur day night was not serious. There was no need to use the city fire hose, and therefore it was not de termined just what the damage amounted to. It would be well in the future for people driving auto mobiles to fires to not let their in clination to beat speed records in arriving on the scene to get the best of their good judgment, for such thoughtlessness might cost many times what the value of their pres ence would be worth. WE ARE GRATEFUL. THE publishers of this paper are indeed grateful for the numer ous expessions of appreciation of our recent venture in the publica tion of the 45th Anniversary Boost er Edition. These expressions have come, not only from the newspaper fraternity, but from many of our readers and patrons, who have per sonally told us how well they liked the edition, and how proud they were that a town the size of Hepp ner could send forth such a credit able bit of publicity to the outside world. We do not desire to be puffed up because of all these kind words, yet they spur us on to better efforts and we cherish the hope of some day getting out an edition that will do credit, to a much greater de gree, to the splendid part of Ore gon in which our lot has been cast all these years. The comments here with, coming to us this week, will close our reprint of the good things said of our recent edition. Hood River Glacier says: The Heppner Gazette Times In a re cent big booster edition tells In picture and story the opportunities that await men of energy and enterprise in a land of plenty. One gains new admiration for the great commonwealth of Oregon after reading such special issues of newspapers as that published by the Crawford boys. Editor Hamstreet in his Wallowa Sun, has this: In celebration of its 45th anniversary the Heppner Gazette Times, published "where wheat is king." issued a 40-page Booster Edition that wins from us our admiration and approbation. Heppner, every week in the year, has one of the nnest weeKiy newspapers in tne nortn west a model of typographical excell ence, made so by the competency of its publishing force and the support of its community. And while we compliment Heppner on its fine paper, we want also to compliment the Gazette Times on the community it serves, which recognizes a good paper when it has it and stands loyally oacK or it. FIGURES WITH A PUNCH. QTATISTICS ordinarily ary dry '-'reading, but not always. An ele mentary geography published this year contains tables and charts that are anything but dry reading. The information, intended primar ily for youthful students, furnished by these tables and charts has more than a spark of Interest for adults. These statistics, for Instance show that although the United States has but one-sixteenth of the world's population, one-fourth of the world's sugar is used In this country. Furthermore, the United States has five-eights of the world's telephones, three-eights of its rail roads and four-fifths of Its automo biles. It uses three-fourths of all the rubber and four-fifths of all the pe troleum used each year. Each farm worker in the United States produces twelve tons of ce reals although the average cereal production for each farm worker in the rest of the world is only one and two-fifths tons. Each American farm worker, on the average, is feeding nine people besides himself In this country and one more per son in some foreign land. Some countries produce more crops per acre than we do, but none produces so much for each farm worker. FURTHER political announce ments appear In this issue, these being E. Albee for sheriff on the republican ticket, and Creed Owen for commissioner on the same tick et In fact, Mr. Owen announced himself last issue, but we failed to make special note of It He is. an "old-timer" of this community, In recent years engaged In trucking and service station work, having resided In Heppner for a dozen years past, but formerly living at Hardman where he was in business Br. Shrank (Sxwxx mp: THE COMIC STRIP A recent article on "The Compensatory Function of the Sunday 'Funny Paper'," by Harvey C. Lehman and Paul A. Witty, is at hand. It gives a very ingenious explanation for the popularity of the comic strip. It gives as a trait of character of almost every one the desire to "escape." "In the world of 'actuality'," it continues, "the child is obliged to conform to certain conventions, to treat other persons with a rea sonable amount of decorum, to abide by the consequences of his acts when he defies natural law or human authority. In the 'fun nies' he will defy every law and he will do so with immunity. "Thus the child who looks at the Sunday 'funnies' is enabled to identify himself with the most intrepid adventurer or the most reso lute law-defying citizen or the capturer of such a criminal. On the other hand, he may identify himslef fith the serial-motion-picture type of hero who wins out over apparently insuperable odds." All of us are waare of constant limitations in our ordinary life. We are unable to thwart these constrictions, so we seek numerous and varied forms of gratification of our impulses. Certainly the comic strip does not excell in showing actual life conditions nor in its artistic quality. It only suggests human char acteristics in exaggerated form, but they are naively and crudely presented and so direct and unmistakable that even the most ob tuse cannot fail to recognize them. The pamphlet says that in the Sunday funny section the child often takes many risks which in real life he would not think of taking. "In some cases he succeeds by resort to magic. At other times he is pictured as falling squarely upon the face or being severely burned with fire or scalding water. He falls at a great distance or he is closely pursued by dangerous wild animals. He knows no de corum. He puts his cigar ashes into an upturned silk hat, or into the goldfish bowl. He rests his feet on his neighbor's lap. "He endures no suppression. He has complete freedom of self expression." This is at least an ingenious explanation of the popularity of the comic strip, as the value of any entertaniment, theatrical or other wise, is its escape value. for a long time. He is well known all over the county and at this time is the only announced candidate tor commissioner. Mr. Albee has been game warden here for a number ot years, and by virtue of this office has become quite well known over the countv. In this capacity, Jar. Albee bears the reputation of a fear less and impartial officer, no small recommendation for the higner sta tion he aspires to fill. NOT A DIRTY PIG. ONE of the long-standing beliefs is that the hog is a dirty crea ture by instinct as well as by train ing. In fact, the expression, "dirty as a pig" has become to be accepted as the only proper way to describe the uncleanly. But it appears from results gained bv farmers who have given their pigs a chance to be clean that the animal is more to be pitied than blamed. These farmers report that they have found the pig to be as cleanly as any other farm animal. The trouble is he is seldom given a chance to prove it Given clean pasture land to feed on, a chance to get regular baths, and clean bedding, the pig will be clean, they say. Furthermore, he will be healthier and will grow fast er. A DREAM FULFILLED. A DREAM that everyone who has rt left his home town has had at some time or other, if he would but admit it, came true the other day for Thomas Merritt out in Elan- chard, la. Mr. Merritt returned, after an ab sence of forty-five years, to his old home town rich and openhanded. He hunted up his boyhood play mates and told them to get ready for a real reunion with Mr. Merritt footing the bills. And it was a real reunion. They killed the fatted calf and a couple of cows . Here are some of the things that Mother Has A Hard , NOW.-NOW.-BOYS.- I d I T" Ml J only One of ) l I I I Jp1 M happened, according to the news reports: He invited all members of the Kiwanis club to be his guests at his summer resort, Naibouyou, on Lake Superior, and promised to pay all expenses, Including railroad fare; he imported special talent for a special radio program at KMA. Shenandoah, and sent each of the 800 persons who told him how much they enjoyed the program pound boxes of chocolates; he bought out all the articles being sold at a ladies bazaar in a town nearby, gave the women a check for nearly double the amount they expected to realize, and told them to wrap up the ar ticles and ship them to his home in Duluth, Minn. Mr. Merritt decided Blanchard hadn't just grown fast enough and told the residents he intended to boost the town just as soon as he returned from a business trip. But the story hasn't a happy end ing. On the trip, Mr. Merritt wa taken with pneumonia and died in a few days. A son says he intends to carry out most of the promises made by his father. And Mr. Merritt, at any rate, saw one of his dreams come true. The oddest thing about secrets of success is that they're told every where. Another point In which marriage is like war is that the first fourteen years are the hardest. Probably the next great boon for the common people will be the invention of an electric can opener. Now that Lindbergh has brought good-will to our foreign relations, some one should persuade him to visit Congress. Washington was the father of our country, but if it hadn't been for Lincoln he probably would have been the father of twins. Decision To Make By Arthur Brisbane Needless Speed. The Radio Industry. Immigrants Build Nations A Democratic Prince. Frank Lockhart, whom Barney Oldfield calls "the greatest automo bile driver in history," drove his car 225 miles an hour on a Florida beach recently, lost control and shot out into the ocean. Such speed in automobiles is val ueless, because it cannot be used. Trying for It is as unwise as some "stunts" that fliers do, emphasizing the danger of flying, instead of em phasizing its safoty, a they should. It is to be hoped that Colonel Lindbergh, the most important young man to his country, will real ize the danger and folly of unnec essary risk. A serious accident to Lindbergh would set flying back ten years in America. That is not what he wants. Great Britain suppresses a mov ing picture showing how Nurse Edith Cavell was shot as a spy by the Germans. Britain wisely de cides such a picture would only re vive and Intensity international Dir. terness. Edith Cavell was guilty under military law. Allied nations execut ed women for crimes no more ser ious. But the "moral" circum stances were different Military stu pidity, that governed Germany and killed Edith Cavell, governs Ger many no longer. The Argentine Republic wanted to rewrite the United States tariff to compete with American farmers. But the Argentine didn't have Bal four as representative, so this coun try said no. We can handle little republics. Britain is too much for us. Last year this country spent $600,- 000,000 for radio products, machines and parts. Nineteen twenty-eight will see the first radio Presidential campaign. The world changes swift ly, adapting itself readily to new methods. Radio employs 300,000 people, and broadcasting reaches 90,000,000. An athlete, breaker of records, with big lungs and chest expansion, was amazed when the life Insurance doctor told him "you are a bad risk. We can't take you. . Next to no exercise, the danger ous thing is over-exercise. You can develop muscles almost without limit. But you have only one heart, and it will stand only so much Promoters of South American in vestments Inform you that the pop ulation of Rio de Janiero has in creased nearly a million in eight years, Buenos Aires more than a million in fourteen years. Agricul tural population has increased enor mously In South America. All that is due to our immigration laws which keep out of the United States the white European popula tions that we need, the men and women that made this country what it is. Shutting out such immigration, we build up other nations. The former Kaiser, who must have done some hard thinking In the last few years, tells Sylvester Viereck, "today the center of grav ity which determines world power has shifted to the United States. America is master of the world." By Albert T. Reid America probably COULD be master of the world. But to desire that mastery would be foolish. To bo masters of ourselves, mind our business, develop this country and increase the well-being of the aver age man, is a big enough task. The Prince of Wales shakes hands by mjstake with a waiter, best dressed man, probably, at a busi ness men's dinner. But, Sir, I'm only a waiter." I don't see that that makes any difference," says the Prince shaking hands over again. The tyrant was annoyed when Solon told him there could be good governments "only when kings be came philosophers, or philosophers became kings." The young Prince leaves philosophy to professors. But he knows that royalties achieve per manency becoming democratic. The conference at Havana is over. And, as Mr. Rogers says, Uncle Sam is to be congratulated on going into conference without losing any thing; no battleships scrapped to oblige nations that couldn't afford to compete; no silly promise not to fortify Guam, or do anything with out the consent of Britain, France or Japan. Impassioned youth (throwing himself to his knees) : Light of my life! Light of my existence! Light of The lady: Aw, douse the glim mer, kid, and while you're down there will you buckle my galoshes. A curator of a certain zoological gardens was on holiday. He re ceived a note from his assistant "The chimpanzee -is sick. He ap pears to pine for a companion. We don't know what to do pending your return." "Whither away, stranger? What wouldst?" cherrioed St Peter, as he leaned over the pearly gates. Gosh, let me in, muttered the wandering soul of convict No. 999 just released. "I just had the shock of my life." POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT.
