TJEPPNER is a fine, clean, neat ' 1 appearing little city with busi ness good, in fact one of the very best cities of its size in the state. Traveling men especially are often heard to make su.ch comment, but they are not alone as It has Deen heard from other sources. Possibly when we are thus complimented, we are made to feel sufficient unto our selves and slide contentedly along our way unheeding of our destiny, It would, indeed, afford us a great deal of pleasure to be able to say that everyone in Heppner is doing so well in his line that there is no need for united effort But is true? One's heartstrings are tugged gently when the Heppner Commer cial club is mentioned. It's history is best unmentioned. In fact we are afraid to ask what has become of it But if Heppner's future is to be made secure; if it is to be kept from becoming a mere crossroads, as some local business men have even been heard to predict, there is urgent need that the club be re vived. A car driving east on the Colum bia River highway wishing to reach some interior point, stops at Arling ton and is directed over the John Day highway. This is done at times when the Oregon-Washington high way would serve the motorist's pur poses even better. But should the car come by way of the O.-W. and reach Cecil to be diverted over very disagreeable detour to Ion because of oiling operations, the motorist would have a very bad taste in his mouth on reaching Heppner and the things he would tell his friends wouldn t do our highway or us any good. This is a hypothetical statement, but investigation will reveal it to be grounded on fact Tourist business today is one of the most lucrative businesses in the state. It is a business which benefits every other buiness, but it takes salesmanship of a high caliber to land it and this salesmanship can only be had through cooperation. Heppner has a through highway connecting with the Columbia River highway at Heppner Junction and the Old Oregon Trail at Pendleton. Since its completion it has served mainly as an avenue for Heppner business to slide to Pendleton. Ap parently little or no thought on the part of local Interests has been given to how this highway can be made to benefit Heppner. It can be made of benefit if Heppner will go after her share of the tourist business. A live commercial club could, through advertising and personal representatives direct a great deal of traffic over the O.-W. highway. It cuold prevent oiling of the full width of the highway at a time, and thus keep cars from having to make distasteful detours. In other sec tions of the state but half the width of the highway is oiled at a time and detours eliminated: If we make it easy and attractive for the tour ist to come this way we will reap our share of the reward. Not only Heppner but the entire county would be benefitted by what organization ter conviction, reprieves, commuta tions of sentences and paroles often turn the unrelenting criminals out into society again to continue their dcpradations. Crime suppression must be pre ceded by law enforcement rather than by more laws and red tape which invite more "technical" law-breaking. The Oregon State Motor associa tion bulletin states that oiling is going forward on the John Day highway between lone ana riepp ner. It would be a good idea for the editor of the bulletin to either get a state road map or get in his car and take a trip over the state. It can be positively stated that lone and Heppner are still some distance from the John Day highway. The Dalles Optimist MONEY SAVING ON THE FARM. NOT only is a tractor superior to teams for plowing, in speed, power and efficiency, but its per acre cost of operation is cheaper as well. A number of farmers in the state of Washington kept records in order to make his comparison and found that where team plowing cost J1.97 per acre, the tractor did the work for 86 cents. From this direction greater farm prosperity must come. Modern la bor saving machinery and instru ments of greater efficiency are the money makers for agriculture. Sr. Frank (Eran? A BAD RECORD IN CRIME Pl'NISIIMENT. IN A RECENT survey made In the A most important section of a middle-western state it was found that a person charged with crime risks but one chance in 30 of being pun ished. Of 12,543 felony cases tried in a great American city in 1926 but 2.449 of the defendants were found guilty and a great many of these were released on parole or appeals or otherwise escaped prison. These are not isolated examples but more or less the general thing throughout the United States. Inescapable difficulties beset the legislator or crime reformer who at tempts to make punishment tor me criminal certain. A mass of tech nicalities surrounds and helps to protect the defendant in criminal cases. Often a mawKisn sentiment COMPCLSORY INSURANCE LAW CONTRARY TO SriRIT OF CONSTITUTION. TN A RECENT article discussing i compulsory automobile liability insurance Edmund J. Donegan, vice-president and general counsel of the Metropolitan Casualty com pany, said: The requirement tnat insurance, be purchased, security deposited or financial responsibility demonstrated as a condition prece dent to operating a motor vehicle, hinges the right upon a property qualification. Such a law bears un evenly upon the clerk and the mil lionaire and violates our traditions, heritages and entire social con sciousness. "There is no question that the in terests of the people as a whole de mand that any citizen who has dem onstrated his incompetence to han dle a potentially dangerous vehicle, must forfeit his right of operation. "But when the humble citizen, having been subjected to proper ex amination, has satisfactorily demon strated his physical and mental is aroused among a certain element ability to operate a motor, why that tries to make a martyr of the most hardened wrongdoer.

The First Foreign Missionaries Acts 13:1-5, 13-15, 44-49 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D., Associate General Secretary of the World's Sunday School Association. All of Chapter XIII should be read as a preparation for this les son study. The general setting must be in mind as well as the few verses that are the basis for more inten sive study. After Saul had been called from Tarsus to help the grow ing church in Antioch there was still greater progress there. There is that in the Christian religion which always makes one desire that all others shall likewise have joy and peace in believing. While in the midst of worship there was a grow ing consensus of opinion that some thing very definite should be under taken in telling the Gospel story more widely. Luke describes the outcome when he records the "Holy Spirit said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them." Preparations were made for the first missionary journey and these men were for mally set apart for this Bervice by prayer and the laying on of hands. Three people made up the com pany. They were Barnabas; his nephew, John Mark; and Saul stvled the apostle to the Gentiles. Their Work began at Salamis. There the usual approach was made by seeking the synagogue of the Jews,, for all had a common belief in Jehovah as God. Keep in mind that you are always to use your Bible as both reference and text book. At this point read the verse omitted in the- lesson text indicated above. The story is told of the work at Paphos on the eastern side of Cy prus. The missionaries came into opposition with Elymas, the sorcer er, who opposed the message they gave to Sergius Paulus, the procon sul, who believed when he beheld the miracle that Paul wrought. When the mainland was reached at Perga in Pamphylia there was real trouble among the three evan gelists. For some unnamed reason Mark determined to quit the party and returned to Mary, his mother, in Jerusalem. Some say he refused to go inland with Paul; others that he became jealous when Paul be came more prominent than his un cle, Earnabas. This matter comes up again in the lesson for August 19. Some of the hardships encoun tered at this time or soon are enum erated in II Corinthians 11:24-28. Pisidian Antioch is the first stop ping place of record. There the travelers attende dthe synagogue service and, according to courtesy custom, after the reading of the law, were invited to speak. To use mod ern language, they made a hit a'. the start and were Invited to speak again the following Sabbath, "when the whole city was gathered togeth er to hear the word of God." Many believed the teachings of Paul. Jealousy started the trouble that followed. When the synagogue leaders saw that the strangers were obtaining such a fine following they opposed the men, and turned them out of the synagogue. Both Paul and Barnabas were bold in declar ing that they could not keep silent, and since their own brethren would no longer hear them they could now give their attention to the Gentiles, for their Gospel was for all man kind. At once a multitude of those other than Jews believed the word as it was preached unto them spe cially. Their reaction is given in the closing verses of the lesson: "And as the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified God . . . and the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region." WATER-TIGHT COMPARTMENTS EVERY once in a while we hear a man say, "Business is busi ness," or that he follows "art for art's sake," or that he as a scientist cares only for the truth, not for its practical results, and so on. But the fact is humanity Is not put in water-tight com partments. Everything you do affects all parts of your nature. What you do" in business reflects on your art, what you do in art colors your business, and what you think in religion has much to do with your scientific conclusions. Mankind Is one, one organic whole, and its various departments of activity have merely been listed for convenient reference. They do not exist in reality. If your religion is ugly and cruel your business will be immoral. If your business Is heartless and vindictive your whole life will show it The scientist must pay some attention to the practical bearings of his investigations, for it would be foolish for him to spend his whole life on investigating some perfectly useless matter. Business must be beautiful. Art in some way must rest upon a business basis. A man cannot have his whole head submerged in literature, he must have sense enough to market his wares. The beautiful works of art of past generations had their in fluence upon believers in religion and religion is what it is owing to a thousand other causes within itself. Much recent art shows contempt for any but aesthetic values. Such art is transient, and will give place to a greater art, in which beauty of thought and expression will confer enlarged values. The total of all values Is what counts. This result can be achieved not by preaching in art nor by mak ing science "practical," but by universal education in values so that artist, business man, or scientist will express himself in synthesis of all values. ceased, has filed his final account with the County Court of the State of Ore gon for Morrow County, and that said Court has set as the time and place for settlement of said account September 4th, 1928. at the hour of 10:30 o clock A.

Why should the law presume that he will there after be negligent or incompetent, when he has just proved the con trary? The competence and ability oi each citizen to use an automobile without undue injury to his fellow men is the only true test upon which its ownership and operation should be predicated. Let the ex amination be as rigid as it will. Such a test bears on rich and poor alike. But why should the citizen of small means, who has capably demonstrated his capacity to oper ate such a vehicle, be penalized in advance of any fault by the exac tion of a security or property quali fication which bears harshly upon him and falls down lightly on his wealthy neighbor down the street Such a condition contradicts every thing found in our American constitution." It interests us all, illustrating the unconquerable belief in a future life so deeply planted in the hu man brain. Why was the belief put there if only to be disappointed? The French Government builds a gigantic magnet several thousand times as powerful as any built thus far. It will be used in scientific ex periments in connection with the molecular and atomic construction of matter, etc. The magnet even tually will be of great use In in dustry. Here the steel companies use magnets picking up tons of steel rails and loading them on cars, dropping them down, lifting them up, as a boy lifts tacks with his toy magnet. The Fumble Family Fumbling Around ByDunkie BLOCKING PROGRESS. Bend Bulletin. WITH the filing in Salem of an in itiative measure providing for a fifty per cent reduction in motor vehicle license fees, the thing has come to pass that has been feared for many months. True, the meas ure filed does not make so drastic a cut in licens fees as does the so called $3.00 measure, but the loss of income involved is a serious one. True, also, with the lower license fee measure there is an accompany ing bill providing for an additional 2 cents gas tax initiated, according to its sponsor, to make up for the loss of revenue created by the low er license fee. There is no assur ance, however, that the added rev enue from gasoline will be provided and it seems reasonably to be ex pected that the increased gasoline tax measure will not be adopted. The great objection to the meas ures, as to most initiative measures, is the fact that they represent mere ly the idea of a single individual. No chance has been provided for amendment or possible improve- ment There they stand and the voter must take them or leave them as they are. The great danger is that they will approve the measure providing for the lower license fees and vote down the increase in the gas tax. One fact stands out immediately. The commission, having proceeded for some months slowly because of the threat of these Initiative meas ures, must practically suspend new construction activity. Whatever happens to these or other bills that may be filed in November, Oregon has lost one year of progress in highway construction. RP .1ARRH2Q?

Rockefeller, beginning his ninetieth year, said: "I never worry, and I am amazed at the kindness of people generally." Eighty years ago, from his father's cottage doorway, in the Catsklll foothills, he watched his uncle drive off, to trade horses and saw him come back with bet ter horses.

Mammoths, extinct thousands of years, have been found preserved, skin, hair, flesh, In Northern Ice. Hoping that men of the Stone Age might be similarly preserved, an expedition was sent to look. On an island, far North In cold Alaska, scientists discovered at the top of an almost Inaccessible cliff tho grave of an ancient Stone Age chief. Ills coffin was lined with well cured skins of the sea otter. His shirt was of bird skins, his cloth ing made of the finest furs. A favorite child, a seamstress to sew for him, a servant and hunter to get game for him, had been killed and buried with him to accompany him on his death Journey. This mummified family from the Stone Age will enlighten scientists. Thomas W. Lamont, partner of J. P. Morgan, and an able citizen tells business men they can be a distinct factor in preventing future wars. They can and will be, for they have discovered that war, in the past often promoted by business, DOES NOT PAY. Another big war would mean not merely sixty per cent Income tax, but confiscation of principal, on a gigantic scale. Young men would not again consent to have their bodies sent to war, unless the rich man's dollars also went Wise bus iness men will oppose war and de mand preparation for it. SUMMER SESSION CLOSES. This week marks the close of the six-weeks summer session at the state college at Corvallis which has been more widely attended than ever before, according to college of ficials. While the total registration has. not been announced, It has reached about 1400, more than half of which were regular degree stu dents. Dr. Mary Swartz Rose, nu trition specialist and author, of New York, drew many advanced students from the entire west.
