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.

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

state laws are enforced there will
soon be no game left to hunt.
