HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH 13, 1930 The "Just a Little Late" Club When I was a commuter I some times went to the station early to watch the other commuters running for the trains. I came to know many of them by siKht. There were ladies and old men, infrequent visitors to the city, who arrived long before train-time. There were business men, who ar rfved one minute ahead. And just as the gate was about to slam there would come piling across the station the members of the Just a Little Late Club. I used to sympathize with them at first, supposing them to be un fortunates who had missed a car or lost their watches. But after two years of watching I knew different. The membership of the Just a Lit tle Late Club does not change from day to day. Membership is not a misfortune: It is a habit. And one of the most exasperating habits In the world. I was lunching with a friend the other day when a "captain of In dustry" passed us. He began work twenty years ago as an office-boy, and today heads one of the great manufacturing concerns of his city. "A wonderful fellow," said my friend. "Last year I had a long series of negotiations with him about the formation of a new com pany. It was necessary for us to meet practically every day for near ly three months. In all that time he was never late but twice, and then only for a few minutes. And each time he sent word to me from his office that he would be late." J. P. Morgan figured that every hour of his time was worth $1000, and he had no patience with men who were late for appointments, or who, when they came to see him, did not give him his money's worth in exchange for the time they took. "It is not necessary for me to live," said Pompey, "but it is nec essary that I be at a certain point at a certain time." And Lord Nelson said: "I owe all my success In life to having been a quarter of an hour before time. I hold up the record of these fa mous men, in the faint hope that it may do some good. And yet, the hope is very faint. The habit of unpromptness is very tenacious. If I am fortunate enough to be Inside when the pearly gates are closed on the judgment-day, I shall know what to expect. Five minutes later there will be a terrific battering on the gate. St. Peter may be surprised, but I shall not be. When the gates swing open again, there they will be some of the most lovable and exasperating peo ple who ever lived panting, apolo getic, explanatory to the last men of means about it and they began giving away radio sets. Out of that has grown the "We Follow Him" club with members all over the United States. Thousands of radios have been given to hospitals, to charitable institutions and to prisoners. All anyone has to do to become a member is to give a radio set to some "shut-in" invalid or prisoner and send his name to Mr. Mills. GREATNESS I attended a social gathering a few nights ago at which those pre sent were asked to decide who were the five greatest men and the five greatest women of all time. Several persons offered lists of names and the prize was given to the one who name these: Greatest men: Buddha, Julius Caesar, St. Paul, Charles Darwin and Karl Marx. Greatest women: Joan of Arc, Queen Elizabeth, Flor ence Nightingale, Queen Victoria, Susan B. Anthony It is an interesting game, and proves nothing. The greatest men and women who ever lived are prob ably unknown to history. The man who discovered how to make a fire and the woman who first cooked a rabbit over the fire certainly started something which changed the whole world. Anson Wright, pioneer ranchman of the Hardman section, was look ing after business in this city on Saturday. FOB JUSTICE OF THK PEACE. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for the office of Justice of the Peace for the 6th district of Morrow County, subject to the will of the democratic voters of said district as expressed at the May primaries. (Paid Adv.) E. R. HUSTON. FOR JOINT REPRESENTATIVE. I have decided to file as a candi date for reelection as Representa tive in the Legislature for Umatilla and Morrow counties. If the voters of this district approve of my rec ord in office I will consider it an honor to represent them in the State Legislature again. With the exper ience gained in two sessions of the Legislature I believe I can do some good work for this district and the State of Oregon. I have not attempted to make a record in the way of introduction of bills but in consideration of the hundreds of measures presented at each session I have done my best to promote good legislation and to help defeat that which seemed to me to be injurious to the interests of the people of the state. I was one of the sponsors of the individual income tax bill which will be on the ballot at the coming No vember election and I worked on the committee which put it in its final form the Constitutional Am endment which will give the people of Oregon the opportunity at the next general election, to adopt the cabinet form of government. If I am again honored by election to the Legislature I will as before do what I can in working for the best interests of this district and the State of Oregon. (Paid Adv.) JOSEPH N. SCOTT.

(Adv.) WM. T. CAMPBELL. FRANK PARKER 1 STOCKBRlfeE ATHEISM The Russian government's war against religion may prove the spur needed to unite all Christianity into making common cause against the enemies of God. Incredible as it sounds, the armed and disciplined minority which controls Russia has prohibited religious teaching and preaching, is seizing churches and converting them into museums and factories, is killing missionaries and confiscating the property of farm ers who support the churches. There have been many religious wars in history, but always each side has professed the fighting to be in the name of its own God. The organ of this anti-religious move ment in Russia is a newspaper pub lished in Moscow called "The God less One." The avowed purpose is to stamp out all religion and de stroy all faith. Unless Christianity is to confess failure, a greater war than the world has ever seen is Inevitable. It will be the war of all Christen dom against the Godless rulers of Soviet Russia. the various states, Including trucks, busses and other commercial vehi cles. The average of passenger cars is about one car in every one and one-half families. It will not be long before there will be as many passenger cars as there are families, and a high per centage of all families will own two cars. Little cars weighing only half as much as a Ford and costing a third less will be on the American market this year. More paved roads will tend to multiply cars. We can look forward to the day when no body will walk except for exercise. GIVING Two brothers named Mills started a country weekly newspaper in So dus, N. Y., about thirty years ago. They got into other enterprises, in cluding electric light and power companies. They sold their power Interests recently for several mil lion dollars. But they still own and run the Sodus Record, still live in the little country town where they were born. G. R. Mills, one of the brothers, decided he wanted to do some good with his money. He gave a radio set to a crippled woman in the vil lage. She got so. much pleasure out of it that he gave some more radio sets to shut-ins. He got so much fun out of that that he told other DUCKS A Boston man went hunting in Maine. He shot ninety ducks. The other day he paid $2,700 for them In the United States Court. Thirty dol lars a duck. That Is the fine imposed by the Federal government for kill ing eider ducks, for which there Is no open season. Too few hunters are Informed of the Federal game laws which pro tect migratory birds. Before going out with a gun one is required, In most states, to take out a shooting license and to be informed about the state and local game laws. Any state game warden can give full information about the Federal game laws, also. Unless they as well as state laws are enforced there will soon be no game left to hunt.
