Foreign Advertising Representative AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION THE "WHISPERING CAMPAIGN. TTHERE is much noise on the part of one candidate for president about a whispering campaign. A whispering campaign is not com mendable on the part of any party or any set of individuals. However, the "whispering" is not all confined to one political camp by any means. It is being asserted by some who know better and re peated by some who do not know any better that Herbert Hoover fix ed the price of wheat Now, the facts are, that while the Europeans countries were bidding against each other they ran the price of wheat up to $3.25 per bushel. But when they combined their purchasing agencies into one, they undertook to force the price of wheat down to $1.50. Mr. Hoover informed President Wilson that this price was not fair to the American farm er, and suggested that a commission should be selected to fix upon a fair price, a majority of the commission to be farmers. A committee of eleven men was appointed, six of whom were heads of farm organizations. Dr. Harry A. Garfield was chairman. Hoover was not a member of the commis sion, and President Wilson is on rec ord to the effect that Hoover did not even appear before the com mission and made no recommenda tion to the committee. The com mittee fixed upon the price of $2.20 as the basic price. The Grain cor poration saw to it that the price on the Chicago market did not drop below that figure. Furthermore, at the close of the war, Mr. Hoover went to Europe and forced the hand of the allies and made them lift the blockade so the starving women and children of the interior of Europe might be given food. Millions of tons of food were sent into these countries. This saved the dumping of the sur plus accumulated by the food ad ministration and helped to keep up the market for the American farm er. He also insisted that the Euro pean countries receive the pork products which they had contracted for, although they were ready to rescind the contracts. This saved millions upon millions to the Amer ican hog raiser. The "whisperer" who is spread ing the idea that Mr. Hoover was against the farmer during the war is either a prevericator or is gross ly ignorant Register; the time is short, and after October 6 it will be too late; then to the polls on Nov. 6, and use your franchise; do your duty as a citizen. THE CITIZEN'S DUTY. "NE encouraging thing about this vy political campaign is the indica tion that a record vote will be polled. Everywhere there is deep inter est in the political situation. The straw votes are piling up into enor mous totals. The Issues are so im portant, the careers of the two prin cipal candidates so fascinating and colorful, that everything points to a record number of voters on elec tion day. Let us hope each man and woman The Fumble i A A I J . u H .X Mr m w i tm i Sr. Jntttk (Erane ap: THE SNAKE BITE One by one our traditions are destroyed. Historians have thrown doubt upon the stories of Romulus and Remus, William Tell, and other figures of the past Cold and heartless scientists inform us that there is nothing to planting potatoes in the dark of the moon, that the number thirteen is some baleful superstition, and that you can walk under a ladder or carry an open umbrella in the house all you please and it won't hurt you. They have even suggested that Friday is quite as likely to be fortunate as unfortunate. And now comes the old belief that is firmly fixed in all of us, that a good dose of whiskey will cure a snake bite. A great many have kept nicely corned for fear that they might accidentally get bitten some day by a snake; but Dr. Afraino do Amaral, direc tor of the world-famous Snake Serum Institute at Butantan, South America, not only says that alcohol is not a remedy for a snake bite, as was heretofore almost as firmly fixed In our belief as any one of the thirteen articles, "but on the contrary alcoholic liquors are harmful to persons bitten by venomous snakes." What alcohol does to you is to quicken the circulation. This spreads the venom more rapidly throughout the system. There fore the administration of alcohol but increases the danger from snake poisoning. The best thing to do when bitten by a rattlesnake is to make an improvised tourniquet above the bite in order to obstruct as much as possible the circulation of the blood from the bitten area. The trouble with alcohol in its every phase is that it is the arch deceiver of humanity. It deceives people into believing they are having a good time. It is the ingredient of almost all patent medicines that profess to cure everything, but really cure nothing. It gives the mental worker false intellectual stimulation and the hand worker false brawn. It is the worthy son of that gentleman who is described as "the father of lies." will do his or her duty. Let us try to make a real showing this year. So often voters stay away from the polls because of laziness or in difference! These absentee voters are bad citizens. They are shirking an important duty. They cannot delegate their voting power to someone else; they must appear personally to vote or their political sympathies can find no ex pression. If enough that might vote stay at home, the result of the election may be entirely different than it would be if they voted. Every single "X" mark counts. Don't fool yourself that your individual vote means nothing. It means a great deal. It may be your one vote that will con tribute much to a turn of the tide in the election. If you like a candidate, do not hamper his chances by remaining away from the polls on election day. If you voted at last election, it is not necessary that you register, but if you failed in that duty at that time, it is necessary that you register, otherwise you will not be able to vote. If you are old enough to be a voter on November 6, but have not reached that point just yet, you can register now. Do it quick. Hill Enters ays- The voters now go to the polls In an automobile but they don't carry any more in their heads than the old timer that went there on a mule, so the old Bunk that you cannot fool the voter is the biggest Bunk there is; he has been fooled all his life and he will always be fooled. As the presidential candidate for the 'Anti-Bunk" party I refuse to employ such old party campaign methods. I am Frank and Ernest. The politician tells the people that "I don't have to tell you peo ple what our party stands for. We rely on your sober judgment We rest our case on your intelligence." Then he goes on for two hours more telling them what his party stands for. I don't care how smart their audience was, they couldn't possi Family POP'S PET PIPE PERTURBS POLLY 7 11 MOP&M&'S UAVIWG A!

The Supreme Court with all its divided knowledge couldn't tell you what either party "stood for." They both stand for "election." That's about the only thing that you can safely say they are for, in fact they will both "stand for" almost murder, if they can only get in. We are more "smart Alec" than we ever were, but we are no smart er. We read more and we hear more over the radio, but the stuff we read, the stuff we hear don't make us any smarter. For tlie people that write it, and the ones that talk it out over the radio are no smarter than the ones that used to have to hand down the dope from our old fore-fatHers. There is just as many half wits voting Republican today because their fathers voted that way there ever was. There is just as many voting Democratic because they have heard their folks tell about how the Republicans treated them during the war, as there ever was. i If the voter is as smart as they say, why do they hvae to tell him anything, why do they have litera ture, and campaigns, and speeches? Why does each party have to spend 4 million dollars trying to buy votes with propaganda? The oldest form Bunk in the world is to say how "Well informed the voters are that they can't be misled by our opponents." We have bathtubs, airships, four wheel brakes, reducing pills, manicurists, men's corsets, and Prohibition. But I doubt if at any time during the history of the world were we ever as down right dumb as we are today.

The REVIEW Devotional Beading Fhilippians 4:4-8. 19, 20 By REV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D. Pause is given during a six months course on the life of Paul to relate the lessons of the first quarter. From the vantage point of a review lesson you can fix the gen eral events in your mind after hav ing studied each lesson In detail. Begin by reading from Acts 6 through chapter 16. There will be decided advantage In having a map before you or in drawing your own outline map, indicatnlg each place named and tracing a journey line connecting the various cities in the three itineraries. Keep In mind that the Sunday School is a school and the best possible equipment should be at hand to help in the teaching process. Since many are Irregular in their attendance at the Sunday School during the summer the ut most should be made of this partic ular review lesson. Effective lives do not Just happen. There must be a posibility of devel opment and then a training that Is made the most of. Saul of Tar sus, In Cllicla. was such a man.

In his first address as president of the British Association for the Ad vancement of Science, Sir William Bragg insists that man has a soul. That Is like saying there is steam In an engine when it moves, physi cal life in a man running and talk ing. Science cannot prove the exist ence of a soul, but proof isn't nec essary. No man can prove he isn't dream ing as he talks to you, and many a man dreaming has been certain he was awake. Three things in the universe, mat ter, force, spirit. Matter and force may be one. At least they take dif ferent forms. Force cannot act without matter. And only spirit CONSCIOUSNESS can supply force to matter and make things better. The earth was a wilderness, until human beings, each with his spark of consciousness, came to change it No "fortuitous encourse of at oms" could produce the left hind leg of a field mouse, much less the brain of an Aristotle. It is man's work that counts, not his ashes. When kings came baok after the French Revolution, they scattered Voltaire's ashes to the four winds. And they picked the right man, for it was he that put an end to French kings. They are gone. He remains. They never succeeded in scattering him while he lived. He worried them. THORPE-CRAWFORD. The marriage of Miss Reta M. Crawford to Eddie R. Thorpe, was solemnized at the home of the bride's grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. E. Straight on last Thursday evening, Milton W. Bower, pastor of the Church of Christ officiating. The wedding was a quiet affair, but a few of the friends of the con tracting parties were present Wit nesses to the contract were Mrs. Freda Rasmussen and Leslie D. Rasmussen. Following the ceremony a wedding supper was served and the well wishes of all present were heartily expressed to the newly- weds. The bride is a Heppner girl, graduate of Heppner high school, class of '27, and the past year was a student at the State Normal at Monmouth. The young couple will make their home at Seattle, we are Informed. Grade Crossing Accidents Decline. Although the number of automo biles In operation throughout the country increased five per cent in 1927, the number of fatalities In grade crossing accidents showed a a decrease of four per cent, accord ing to figures received by the asso ciation. This decrease was In the face of an Increase of ten per cent in the number of fatalities from all causes. It Is estimated that there was one fatality due to the operation of mo- Christ Paul thought he was doing right but learned that he was abso lutely wrong at the time of his con version, which occurred near Dam ascus whither he went to harass the new. Christian community there. The explanation for the new man, or Paul, as he was later called, is the vision of the Christ and his response thereto. A changed life evidenced the new birth. Being a Christian carries with It the obligation to Impart the saving truths to others. Soon Paul and Barnabas were set apart by the Holy Spirit for the first missionary journey which took them through Cyprus and Into the highlands of Asia Minor. There were many suc cesses and also countless sufferings, some of which are catalogued In II Cor. 7:24-28. Repeatedly his perse cutors thought he was dead from stoning but by a miracle he would rise up and go forward In his mis sion. Very Important principles of pro cedure were settled at the Jeru salem Council in A. D. 50. Soon thereafter Paul joined with Silas and Timothy In making the second journey, while Barnabas and Mark returned to Cyprus. At Troas Paul accepted the message in a vision which summoned him to begin Gos pel work In Europe. Then came Philippl, Athens and Corinth In turn. No matter what the problem might be Paul sought to go forward in his service, just as any real en gineer faces his situation and meets It The many churches that Paul es tablished and then nurtured have long since 'Ceased to exist but the Influence from the many letters that he wrote to some of these churches continues, for we have the thirteen epistles which teach, exhort and en courage.
