THERE seems to be an opinion current within the city that where the water service is unsatis factory to the user he does not have to pay his water bill. People who thus reason apparently think the city council is responsible for the kind of water being served, as well as the financial obligation in volved. This is a mistaken idea. One hundred thousand dollars in bnods was voted by the people themselves for the present water system. Hence all taxable property within the city is security for their retirement The system of charging for the water service is but an indirect tax for meeting the obligation and most of the revenue from the city water department, aside from current ex penses, goes for this purpose. At present there is no direct tax levy for retiring the water bonds. How ever, should people persist in their trend of reasoning, they may force a direct tax for the purpose upon themselves. The bond obligation must be met When the $100,000 water bonds were issued, the city council then in power used the good judgment of putting their retirement on a serial basis, so that for several years part of the principal along with interest has been paid. In this manner the bonded indebted ness is being reduced each year in a businesslike manner. People should not be too free to criticize the existing council for de ficiencies that may appear in the water supply. The men who now have charge of the city government fell heir to a rather mean job in correcting previous mistakes, if such were made. They have the situation well in hand and are vi tally interested in bringing the wa ter supply into the best possible re pute. They have adopted the policy or moving cautiously, to avoid mis takes and to thwart the necessity of floating more bonds. There should be little to complain of in Heppner as to the amount of water that has been given the user. A more abundant supply has been available than in the average city of the same size over the state. The big need is improvement of the quality, and to this end the coun cil is now undertaking a project which they hope will remedy the ex isting situation. Drilling operations will start at the forks of Willow creek within a short time with the hope of securing an artesian flow, or at least a supply of pure, potable water in sufficient quantity to care for the city's needs. The expense entailed is not large if the results hoped for are in any degree ob tained. A little patience and more coop eration on the part of everyone will help more in speeding a better water supply. Knocking and refu sal to pay water bills will result only in complications and delay. SPRING, with its balmy breezes, fragrant flowers, enchanting greenery and singing birds; its ef fluence of growing things, is peace ful and restful following the trying times of Winter. With rising of the sap, it brings a new Btir of activity, tmJm irl0ol foaann International Sunday School Lesson for October 13 KEEPING FIT FOB THE BAKE OF OTHERS Daniel 1:8-20 Eev. Samuel D. Price, D.D. This quarterly temperance lesson makes use of the text that was studied on July 28. Other scrip ture portions that need careful con sideration are 1 Corinthians 9:19-27; 1 Timothy 4:7-12; 2 Timothy 2:1-5. Items concerning Prohibition and its enforcement continue to be first page news. Henry Ford has recent ly renewed his statement that he wants only temperance workmen in his employ. The cost to self, ma chinery and others is too great to have any other kind. Both big and little business has long since reach ed this conclusion. Daniel was a propagandist when he wanted to use his own common sense against the arbitrary com mand of the Babylonian king, who was a puppet to habit when he or dered that non-body building foods and drink be given to the young men who were in training for a practical presentation at court On the other hand this Jewish lad and his companions had Ideas of their own about what was good for them, and their opinions had been con firmed by all that they had witness ed of profligacy while In this for eign land. If they were to pass the proposed examination they must have an unsluggish mind housed In a strong body. To accomplish this but withal there is a lazy lull of quietude. Summer's heat and dust and wind is pleasantly interspersed with respite to cooling shade and water. It is vacation time. But Autumn is the time of bustl ing activity, and the real play time. There's the harvest of summer- ripened fruits and grains, the start ing of the school year with its ac companying stir, and renewed busi ness life with the stocking of winter food stores and preparation of the winter wardrobe. Then, two of the year's finest holidays come in Au tumn Hallowe'en and Thanksgiv ing. 'Tis the hunting season, too the sportsman's paradise. To the radio enthusiast, though, Autumn brings the greatest reward. The atmospheric conditions of the season again favor good reception after irritating summer static has worn erascible nerves threadbare. And, this Autumn, after one has listened-in to the Athletics winning the world series, he may turn the dials complacently through the foot ball season, intermingled with vi brant music, inspiring oratory, and countless joys of the speechmaker's art AN INTERESTING PREDICTION CR. F. SMITH, agricultural ne gineer of Iowa State College, makes an interesting prediction. In fifty years from now, he says, the American farmer will sit in an office before an electric switchboard and control automatic plows, cultivators and harvesters which will produce his crops for him without the aid of a single field laborer. "The great revolution in agricul tural methods of the last fifty years," says Mr. Smith, "will prove small in comparison with the revo lution that will take place in the next fifty years. "Automatic farm machinery which runs without constant human supervision will be widely used . . . the machines will be able to run night and day if necessary . . . the greatest aid to super-farming in the future, and one whose realization is near at hand, will be a soil-tilling machine, which will move over the field, mixing and pulverizing soil, organic material and plant food in a single operation." The forerunner of these new ma chines, it may be pointed out to the sceptical, is already in operation and proving successful. It is a manless plow used at Iowa State college, which, after being steered across the field to make the first furrow, guides itself automatically by a guide-wheel, which follows the last furrow plowed until the field is completed. HUNTING POPULAR. FOR the season 1927-28 in the Uni ted States, including Alaska, more than 6,450,000 hunting licen ses were issued and brought rev enues amounting to $9,300,000 to the States. The fees differ widely. For instance: New York issued 675,780 licenses for $699,873, while Pennsylvania col- leced $1,006,159 for 517,729 licenses. Each year the number of hunt er's licenses, and consequently the revenues from them, has increased. In 1924-25 there were 4,904,710 hunt ers, paying $6,190,863; in 1925-26 hunting licenses to the number of 5,168,353 were issued, bringing a rev enue of $6,872,812 to the States; and in 1926-27 there were 5,987,505 li censes issued for $8,155,535. In 1927-28, Delaware stood at the bottom of the list in total number of licenses issued, with 1,970 to res idents and 344 to non-residents. Kentucky licensed 108,202 of its cit izens to shoot, but gave permission to only 92 companions from other states. New York welcomed 5,339 visitors, many of whom had com bined fishing and sporting licenses. It seems as though the art of hunting holds greater and greater lure as time goes on. W. C. Lacy, pioneer farmer of the Blackhorse country who now re sides in Portland, was in the city for a few days the end of the week looking after business interests. Mr. and Mrs. Tindall Robison of Hardman took time off from seed ing operations long enough Satur day to do shopping in the city. Mr. and Mrs. Grant Olden were among Rhea creek residents doing business in the city Saturday. they must eat so that they could really think. They knew far less about alcohol than we do today, but they did understand that the more you think about it the less you will drink it. In fact many drink the poison in order to stop their think ing process, and they Invariably succeed. The result of a vegetable diet and wholesome drinking was apparent when comparison was made with those who had been fed up on the "dainties" from the king's table washed down with the poison drink, which is unchanging in its reaction. These lads studied while others slept off the effect of false stimu lants and they passed Al when ex amination time came. The whole matter goes back to the fact that this Daniel was not an echo of cus tom but rather was one who "Pro posed in his heart" An objection by the king's high officer did not alter Daniel's "purpose." He was both sure and steadfast This enforcement of the prohibi tion laws, to which every honest citizen is committed, is but a proj ect method of finding out the facts, and this was what Daniel proposed. Already overwhelming evidence has been obtained in favor of total ab stinence from alcohol, which is in variably a poison. The more faith fully this project is tried the more will the result be for the better ment of humanity. Who would want to go up In an airplane with a pilot who is even an occasional drinker? Alcohol is good to pickle a dead fly in but not good for any flyer. Of Course, We Know 'earmean BARBED SHAFTS "Hokey! You look tough, old man. Say if you don't go some where and do somethin' for your self, you're goin' to die!" Another said it and another. The victim of jaundice became con vinced that his condition was grave; look at the testimony. Discrimin ating people could not all be wrong. The careless remarks, all meant for the best, caused hours of doubt and mental torture for the man who was sick temporarily. "My! You're a sure enough crip ple! You don't seem to get much better, do you?" This to a poor girl rendered al most helpless below the waist by an accident years ago. Her spine had been "wrenched." Without those heavy iron braces, reaching from her waist to the feet, even standing erect was impossible; to see her walk, shambling, twisting, strain ing to get along, would arouse sym pathy instantly. And the little girl DAIRY. SUCCESS HINGES ON FEED Increase In Cow Population is Found Dependent on More Pasture and Forage, The relati)i,hip between cheap feed and success in dairying is so great in Oregon as well as else where that profitable expansion of the cow population in any locality is directly dependent upon ability to establish pastures and increase sup plies of legume hays, says E. R. Jackman, extension specialist In farm crops at Oregon State college, after making a general study of feed conditions through the state. "So far as known there is no in stance of long continued community dairy success without cheap grass PINKY DINKY The Victor is the Id'kiJlf 1 It !

She was a doer of the almost impossible sure that some day she would over come her terrible disability. The chance salutation made her wince; the discouraging comment bore its wicked fruit. The little martyr poised on her two crutches touched her tiny handkerchief to her eyes, and hobbled on. There are still a few people in this highly civilized social throng, who are so densely stupid as to blurt out the worst possible stuff to the unfortunate ones words that are truly barbed shafts. It is only the mental cripple who calls attention to defects in the maimed or help less. I once heard an idiot say to a paralyzed man, "I wouldn't be in your fix for a cool million dollars." I think most any sort of "fix" is preferable to being a mental clam, who hasn't sense enough to be gently kind and always encouraging to the permanently afflicted. pasture," said Mr. Jackman. "Indl vidual dairymen achieve it through special methods, It is true, but com munities rarely or never. Every outstanding dairy section in the world has plentiful grass. Mr. Jackman points out te effect of this situation on growth of dairy ing in this state. In the Irrigated counties of eastern Oregon, the number of dairy cattle has increas ed faster In the last eight years than In the previous ten just as available feed has increased. During the same period other' sections of the state with less change in the feed supply showed comparable less increase in dairy cattle population. If it is desirable, therefore, to increase the cow population in west ern Oregon, for instance, there seems to be only one sound way to do it namely Increase the acreage and yield of hay and provide some small irrigation plants to grow pas ture, concludes Mr. Jackman. "The cheapest way to increase the hay tonnage is to substitute alfalfa By Albert T. Reid for lower yielding hays. Since an intensive campaign by the extension service for alfalfa, there are now in Washington county some 5000 acres yielding from three to six tons on land which formerly produced about two tons. On one farm the change allowed an increase of from 20 to 28 cows with no Increase in crop acreage or purchased hay. The other possibility is irrigated pas tures of ladino clover or other suit able plants watered from small pumping or gravity systems.
