EXTEND THE INVITATION.
DISCUSSION arose at the Busi
ness Men's Luncheon club Mon
day as to the advisability of invit
ing the Oregon Wool Growers' asso
ciation to meet in Heppner next
year. It has been a long time since
they met here, and those present
were of the opinion that it wouia
be a good idea to extend the invita
tion. Due to the small representa
tion of business interests, however,
no action was taken.
Heppner is one of the leading
wool shipping points of the state;
wool, the county s second industry.
Local interests thrive as the farmer
and woolman thrive. Each year
large number of local woolmen
iournev to some outside point to
attend the meeting
As a courtesy to local woolmen,
and a demonstration of sympathetic
interest in the work of the associa
tion, Heppner should invite the
woolmen. Just another instance of
the need of a more representative
commercial organization.
THEY SERVED FAITHFULLY,
MANY thorns mingle with the
roses that strew the path of him
who holds public office. Public of
ficials are on the firing line, hold
ing up the brunt of the battle be
tween the taxpayer and those who
have favors to ask of public trust
Whenever there is a decision to
make, they must offend some one.
When they are repeatedly given a
public trust, they must have proved
their mettle.
George McDuffee has retired vol
untarily after serving for 12 years
as sheriff of Morrow county, Cr.
Noble leaves the city mayorality,
also voluntarily, with a record of
10 years service to the city.
These men made good. They are
entitled to a rising vote of thanks.

THE OTHER WORLD
When you sail across the sea you wonder what all that waste
of water is for. It stretches away for miles and miles. Days at a
time you cannot see even another ship. Water, water everywhere,
clear to the horizon.
And they say that three-fourths of the earth's surface is ocean.
We think we people who live on land, and those that sail across
the sea in boats, are the whole thing.
Man thinks that the universe is made for him, but Mr. Pope
says that the goose thinks the same thing.
It is stated that there are more living things under the water
than in the air. It is not unreasonable to suppose that whoever
made this earth thought the denizens of the sea were more import
ant than the inhabitants of the land. Else He wouldn't have made
so many of them.
Curious about that other world! People drown when they are
submerged in the water, and those things that inhabit the water
generally drown when they come up into the air.
No man can go down into the home of the fishes and live very
long. When Mr. Fish comes up into the air we all live but he
dies shortly.
Perhaps that other world of spirits, of which much is imagined,
is like that No spirit has been proved to mingle with men. This
atmosphere of ours may be as fatal to it as to a fish. At any rate
we know his atmosphere is fatal to us. No man has gone into it
and returned to tell the tale. -
We eat the fish when they are cooked, but the fish goes us one
better and eats us when we are not cooked.
We have strange stories of mythical beings who inhabit the
depths of the sea. Few believe them. We have equally strange
stories of witches and mediums who call spirits out of the upper
world. Some believe them.
But as far as we know our activities and acquaintances must be
confined to this narrow stratum of the earth's atmosphere. We go
below it into the sea, or above it, through the portals of death, at
our peril.

It would appear that the Eastern
Oregon Wheatgrowers league is on
the right track to do worthwhile
service for the wheatmen. A meet
ing in Heppner on January 19 will
prepare local farmers for the busi
ness to be brought up at Arlington
at the annual meeting. Right now
it might be well for farmers to for
get about the price of wheat and
prepare to attend the meeting. They
will be well repaid for their time.
Only by wholehearted cooperation
of the majority can results be ob
tained. "United we stand, divided
we fall," is as true today as the day
the words were spoken.
DON'T LAUGH AT PROGRESS!
A PREDICTION has been made
that in the future there will be
air boats as big or bigger than the
largest modern steamers.
You may believe this or not but
do not be one of the laughers.
Recently the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of flying was observed. When
the Wright Brothers first invented
the airplane, pretty nearly every
body laughed. Think of the air
plane of today.
To go back far into the past, a
great many people laughed at Co
lumbus. At Gallileo. At Fulton.
When the first steamboat plied the
waters of the Hudson, persons lined
along the shore roared their con
tempt for the funny little boat Ful
ton had launched.
From time immemorial, indeed,
the pioneers in science and discov
ery have been hampered in their
work by the laughers. Those who
would not believe. Even the phono
graph and the motion picture ma
chine were at first regarded with
derision and misbelief. At most
these wonderful boons to humanity
were considered as harmless toys
for children.
The world is learning its lesson.
Today new Inventions are greeted
mtuag rlonl ffiesmm
with respect The day of the
laugher, the haw-hawer, is drawing
to a close. The avenues for discov
ery, the road to progress, are more
open than ever before.
Be one of those to welcome the
new thing when it comes along
do not shame yoursef by laughing
at it.
When the impossible is predicted,
remember that in the course of
modern progress many a thing
thought impossible has become both
possible and practicable.
The greatest of all waste goes on
inside the human brain of which
999 one-thousandths remain idle and
unused, even in well -managed
brains. Millions of brains do not
work at all, only remember and re
peat, never create.
But that will change. Consider
what ants and other insects accom
plish having been here many mil
lion years ahead of us. We are only
12000 years from the late Stone Age
which is the most encouraging fact
in history. Give men ten to fifty!
million more years with deepening
convolutions and inherited know
ledge, and see what they will do.
A mud wasp, as Fabre shows, is
born knowing how to perform a
most delicate surgical operation,
difficult for a skilled man. New
born human babies 50,000,000 years
hence, will know more of mathe
matics than Newton knew when he
died more of music than Beethoven
and Bach combined.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., who un
derstands human nature, encour
ages the building of Dr. Reisner's
skyscraper church in New York,
says "churches must be big enough
to dominate skyscrapers. Material
as well as spiritual dominance is
needed.
That sound Idea inspired builders
of the old cathedrals. When the
PoDe ordered Michel Angelo to
build St. Peter's in Rome, domln
ance was the idea as it was In the
building of the cathedrals of Co
logne, Milan, Notre Dame and oth
ers.
To control men you must control
their IMAGINATION.
Mussolini has old-fashioned ideas
and good ones. The new twenty
lira piece, worth $1, bears the in
scription worth many dollars'.
"Melgio vivere un giorno da le-
one, che cento anm da pecora,
meaning, "It is better to live one
day like a lion than one hundred
years like a sheep."
It's hard to make a sheep believe
it
Like a man half-heartedly swear
ing off in the morning, the world Is
tiying to give up war. And this
country, which never started a war
against Europe, Is expected to do
most of the reforming. It's like
asking Moody and Sankey to sign
the pledge first, or entreating the
Rev. Dr. Stratton not to believe in
Darwin.
The individual must solve his own
problems, with the use of will pow
er. "The heart knoweth his own
bitterness." Each of us knows
what is wrong with him, and what
he ought to do. Few of us do it
Nations know what they ought to
do. None of them does it Europe
ought to stop fighting, and can't
We ought to mind our own busi
ness, and can't.

SIN
I John 1:5-10; 2:1-6
BEV. SAMUEL D. PRICE, D. D.
Holiness is an attribute of God.
The simplest survey of life or of
self reveals the everywhereness of
sin. Thus the theme for this week
is In utmost contrast to that for
last week when the Eternal God
was the subject Man Is both way
ward and he has never journeyed
through life before. Hence he is in
constant need of an adequate Guide
Book and that Book is the Bible.
It might well be called the sinner's
Book for it gives a complete analy
sis of his experiences and then re
veals an adequate solution of his
constant problems.
Numerous passages must be stud
led in connection with each lesson
this quarter. Those for supplement
al study this week are Genesis 3:
1-24; 6:5-8; Mark 7:14-23; Romans 1:
18-32 and 3:10-18. Others of equal
Importance can be noted by look
ing at your concordance.
Those who Insist it is hard to
keep from doing evil in the present
environment will do well to think
themselves back Into the Garden of
Eden where Adam and Eve were
part of an unmarred world. They
had the maximum of blessings for
which to be thankful as they held
their daily tryst with their Creator.
Yet they chose to disobey the rea
sonable command of their heaven
ly Father. Man sins by the exercise
of his own free will when he has
been given power to the contrary.
After our first parents became out
casts from Paradise they had plen
ty of time to meditate on the con
sequenes. As they faced their guil
ty consciences in their hopelessness,
the First Evangel was given In the
promise that was redeemed in the
Messiah, the theme for next week.
That sin cannot remain a per
sonal matter is revealed in the ex
tent of sin at the time of Noah. A
new start was given after the Flood
but meanwhile human nature had
only been restrained; it was not
changed.
Read again the New Testament
passages indicated above. Here you
will find sin analyzed. There can be
no real reason for choosing sin
(Romans 1:20). The baseness of
life resulting from a sin-controlled
heart is shown in that same chap
ter. The aged John that beloved dis
ciple, holds the mirror before every
life as he says, "If we say we have
no sin we deceive ourselves." But
he does not present the evil with
out disclosing the adequate remedy.
For he adds "If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and righteous to for
give us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness." This is
made still clearer as he points to
the Friend he loves so well: "And
if any man sin, we have an Advo
cate with the Father, Jesus Christ
the righteous." Then a most prac
tical test is given which puts life
above all profession: "Hereby we
know that we know him, if we keep
his commandments."

Every new electrical in
vention finds an abun
dance of power ready
to serve it Through
the enterprise of the
electric light and power
companies, electric pow
er plants and service fa
cilities are being con
structs in advance of
consumer demand.
Since 1900 the capacity
of these plants has been
doubled every ..five
years.
The lonely vigil of the train dis
patcher is a picture familiar to ev
eryone. Few realize, however, the
part played in almost every life by
the Power Dispatcher.
Perhaps you have never heard of
him, yet millions of men, women
and children In the United States
are quite as dependent upon him as
passengers on a railroad train are
dependent on a train dispatcher.
He it Is who is on the other end of
the wire when you turn on an elec
tric light . . . who releases and con
trols the great cataract of electric
power and light which make the
wheels of modern life go around.
Seated quietly at his keyboard
watching the clock, the weather and
the delicate instruments which
trace the flow of electric energy
his Is the task and responsibility of
keeping the supply of electric cur
rent constant and ready to meet
any demand.
Let this service falter but once, and
the social, Industrial and economic
life of the city and the countryside
is paralyzed and even life may be
endangered.
But the electric light and power
companies have seen to it that the
service will not falter. Through a
systetm of interconnection, other
reservoirs of power may always be
tapped in the event of any failure
on the part of the Power Dispatch
er's lines.
Thus is life, business and the pur
suit of happiness In America made
safe and secure every hour of the
day, every day of the year.
