mat's It All About?
I have a friend who, after many
years of hard work in subordinate
positions, found himself suddenly
near the top of a big business. To
his own surprise his Income jumped
to more than a hundred thousand
dollars a year.
A whole new world opened out
before him. As if by magic all his
dreams began to come true.
Did it change him? I cannot see
that in any essential characteristic
it changed him at all. Not long ago
when we were alone he opened his
heart
"Here I am with a new house, and
money in the bank, and all my Ave
children in college, and three auto
mobiles. And down underneath I
am the same simple guy that used
to get eighteen dollars a week, and
took three years to pay for the pi
uno. Somehow it doesn't seem real.
I have to get myself off in a corner
once in a while and ask, what's it
all about?"
I know some other things about
him that he did not tell me. I know
that he is supporting fifteen or
twenty people who haven't had
such good luck. I know that he is
taking lessons on the fiddle, which
has been a secret ambition for
years. And I know that on Thanks
giving Day he marshals his whole
family and marches them down to
church.
Sinclair Lewis named him, and
others like him, Mr. Babbitt They
are more like Jim Bludsoe, the Mis
sissippi River engineer.
Bludsoe didn't know what it was
all about either. He just did the
day's work, running the steamboat
back and forth, raising his family,
and living his life. One day when
a fire broke out he did the simple
normal thing of sticking to his post
"I'l hold her nozzle against the bank
'Till the last galoot's ashore."
He was not a deep thinker, nor
very religious, often profane. But
John Hay ventured the guess that
"The Lord ain't going to be too hard
on a man
That gave his life for men."
My friend is rough like Bludsoe,
and by no means a saint "What's
it all about?" he asks, and he will
never know the answer any more
than the rest of us. But he has done
his job with courage; he stayed sim
ple. He gives freely. He has a hum
ble sense of gratitude, and he has
kept his heart young.
Those qualities have been enough
for this world. Somehow I think
they'll be enough for whatever other
worlds may be.

SMITHSONIAN
More than 100 years ago James
Smlthson, a wealthy Englishman
who was the illegitimate son of a
British nobleman, left his entire for
tune to the United States of Amer
ica to found "an institution for the
increase and diffusion of knowledge
among men." Congress just before
adjournment this year appropriated
$6,500,000 to add to previous appro
priations for the enlargement of the
Smtihsonlan Institution and its Na
tional Museum.
Smithson's bequest and the pur
pose to which it has been put have
been worth uncountable millions to
America. Research in pure science
conducted by the men in charge of
the Institution has done more to
ward the development of our na
tional resources than any other one
cause, so those familiar with the
matter say. It is the center to which
everybody who wants to know any
thing about American soils, rocks,
fishes, plants, trees, insects or ani
mals goes for precise information.
It is also the greatest source of in
formation on applied science in the
form of invention.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Stevens and
daughter Lois spent a few hours at
Heppner on Monday, coming in
from Parkers Mill. They are now
located on the ranch of W. B. Bar
ratt and Son at that point, where
water is plentiful and the summer
range not so bad. It is a very dry
season throughout the mountain
country, they state, and many
springs have entirely disappeared.
Sub-normal winter snowfall over a
period of several years has been re
sponsible for this condition.

mother, Mrs. Shelly Baldwin, arriv

Wash., where he has been residing

RASPBERRIES
Raspberries are here or coming.
Red raspberries. That seems to be
what everybody means when we say
raspberries. If we mean black rasp
berries, why we say black raspberries.
And now that they are here or
coming it is a very good plan to
take advantage of them in planning
and making delicious desserts. Of
course they are delicious alone
served with or without cream. But
they are capable of being used In
so many other ways that it is a good
plan to know about them and make
use of them.
Here are some of the good ways
for preparing them:
Jellied Raspberries
Rub raspberries through a sieve,
sweeten heavily, and let stand until
the sugar is dissolved. Add a pack
age of soaked and dissolved gelatine
to a quart of the fruit, mould, chill,
and serve with whipped cream.
Rice and Fruit Pudding
Fill a baking-dish nearly full of
raspberries, sweeten to taste, and
cover with rice boiled in milk and
sweetened. Bake until the rice is
brown and serve hot in the same
dish.
Raspberry Pudding
Cream one-fourth cup of butter
with one cup of sugar. Add one cup
of crushed and sweetened raspber
ries and four eggs beaten separate
ly. Beat to a stiff paste and fill a
buttered baking-dish in alternate
TEMPERATURE
An Italian inventor has developed
a heat-cooling furnace for dome3tlc
use. The same apparatus which
keeps the house warm in Winter
will draw the heat from the air In
Summer and keep It cool.
Scientists have known for eighty
years that this could be done, but
the cost has made it impracticable.
Now Professor E. Guarlni, of Milan,
claims to have found a practical
method of making such a refrigerator-heater.
The use of such a means of artifi
cial cooling requires all windows to
be tightly closed. Outside of the
United States, however, few people
ever open their windows; and it
should not be hard to provide for
artificial ventilation to take the
place of direct fresh air from out
side. MOUNTAINS
The highest peak east of the Miss
issippi isn't as high as had been
thought. The United States Geolo
gical Survey has made a new survey
of Mount Mitchell, in North Caro
lina, and finds that it is 6,684 feet
above sea level, or 24 feet lower
than former figures.
Only a few mountains in the East
approximate a mile in height Cling
man's Dome, Tennessee, is 6,644
feet, only 40 feet lower than Mount
Mitchell. Mount Washington, in
New Hampshire, is 6,288; Mount
Rogers, Virginia, 5,719 feet; Mount
Katahdin, Maine, 5,268 feet, or 12
feet less than a mile. The highest
American mountain Is Mount Mc
Kinley, Alaska, 20,300 feet high,
with Mount Whitney, California,
next at 14,501 feet
All the highest mountains are
sinking. In a million years even
the Rockies may be merely hills,
end the Appalachian range a fiat
plain.
SHERLOCK
The death of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle at 71 removes from the earth
ly scene the creator of one of the
enduring characters in fiction and
the father of a new school of story
writing.
Educated as a physician, Conan
Doyle early turned to literature, and
while he wrote several historical
novels of great merit his Immense
success was with his stories of the
super-detective, Sherlock Holmes.
Literally millions of copies of his
books about Sherlock Holmes have
been sold, and the name is amlllar
wherever English is spoken.
No real detective ever did things
the way Sherlock Holmes did, but
that makes no difference. What
readers of detective stories want is
not fact but Illusion.
WASHINGTON
In 1932 the United States of Amer
ica will celebrate the 200th birthday
of George Washington. He was born
on February 11, 1732, and the 11th
was the day which was celebrated
as his birthday for many years. But
the change In the calendar In 1764,
by which 11 days were dropped out
of the month of September In that
year, made this anniversary, by an
exact calculation, rail on me zzna,
The national celebration of 1932,
for which Congress has appropria
ted $4,500,000, will last from Febru
ary 22 to Thanksgiving. The Pres
ident Is chairman of the wasning-
ton Bicentennial Commission, and
each State Is to appoint a similar
commission. Local committees will
be formed to see to it that every
child and every citizen has an op
portunity to take part In some form
of local celebration.

Raspberry Blanc-Mange
Thicken two cups of milk with
two level teaspoons of cornstarch
rubbed Bmooth with a little cold
milk, add a pinch of salt and two
eggs beaten with three tablespoons
of sugar. Cook in a double boiler
until tmooth and thick, stirring con

sweetened raspberries. Chill and
serve with cream.
Raspberry Cake
Make any good layer cake and
bake in two layers. Make a white
icing, coloring slightly with the
juice from a little raspberry jam.
Put the two layers of the cake to
gether with a spreading of raspber
ry jam and frost the whole with
the raspberry flavored icing.

PEOPLES HARDWARE
COMPANY
Heppner, Oregon
The low-priced automobile has brought greater opportunity
and added hours of recreation to millions of men and women.
BECAUSE the automobile is such an im
portant factor in the lives and pros
perity of so many people, the purpose of
the Ford Motor Company is something
more than the mere manufacture of a
motor car.
There is no service in simply setting
up a machine or a plant and letting it
turn out goods. The service extends into
every detail of the business design,
production, the wages paid and the sell
ing price. All are a part of the plan.
The Ford Motor Company looks upon
itself as charged with making an auto
mobile that will meet the needs of
millions of people and to provide it at a
low price. That is its mission. That is
its duty and its obligation to the public.
The search for better ways of doing
things is never-ending. There is cease
less, untiring effort to find new methods
and new machines that will save steps and
time in manufacturing. The Ford plants
are, in reality, a great mechanical uni
versity, dedicated to the advancement of
industry. Many manufacturers come to
see and share the progress made.
The greatest progress comes by never
standing still. Today's methods, however
successful, can never be taken as wholly
right. They represent simply the
best efforts of the moment. To
morrow must bring an improve
ment in the methods of the day before.
Hard work usually finds the way.
Once it was thought impossible to cast
gray iron by the endless chain method.
All precedent was against it and every
previous experiment had failed. But fair
prices to the public demanded that waste
ful methods be eliminated. Finally the
way was found.
Abetter way of making axle shafts saved
thirty-six million dollars in four years.
A new method of cutting crankcases re
duced the cost by $500,000 a year. The
perfection of a new machine saved a
similar amount on such a little thing as
one bolt. Then electric welding was de
veloped to make many bolts unnecessary
and to increase structural strength.
Just a little while ago, an endless chain
conveyor almost four miles long was in
stalled at the Rouge plant. This conveyor
has a daily capacity of 300,000 parts
weighing more than 2,000,000 pounds.
By substituting the tireless, unvarying
machine for tasks formerly done by hand,
it lias made the day's work easier for
thousands of workers and saved time and
money in the manufacture of the car.
All of these things are done in the
interest of the public so that the
benefits of reliable, erononiicol
transportation moy be placed
within the means of every one.
