"For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the Lord, to do justice and judgment; that the Lord may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him." Gen. 18-19. There is today a growing laxity in the matter of home discipline. Themistocles once said: My lit tle child rules all Greece." When asked what he meant he said: "The little child rules its mother; the mo ther rules me; I rule Athens, and NOTICE. NnTtrR TS HEREBY GIVEN that there will be a meeting of the Levying Board of Morrow County, Oregon, at the Court House in Heppner, Oregon, nn thp 9nri Hrv of December. 1931, when and where the estimates arrived at by the Budget Committee of Mor row Countv.

Incidentals 200.00 ASSESSOR Salary Athens rules all Greece. America has many representa tives of that Grecian family. The discipline of children can easily be too harsh and rigid; but the ten dency these days Is not to disci pline the children at all. This un doubtedly accounts for much of our present-day lawlessness. .An hys terical attempt is being maae tnese days to account for that lawlessness by charging it to prohibition. But we note that in Canada, where we have the far famed "Government Control," law violation has increas ed 216 per cent; so that flimsy alibi falls flat. The fact of the matter is that the child who Is not taught obedience in the home will not be inclined to obey the laws of the land when that child has reached maturity. We can never have a law abiding nation without the help of law abiding homes. Parents who allow their children to grow up without any sort of restraint, are simply laying up trouble for the future; not only for themselves and their children, but for the state and society. When God wanted to start a na tion, and was looking for a man through whom to start it, He chose Abraham. The text tells why. God knew that Abraham would com mand his children and would teach them justice and judgment. Here Is something for American fathers and mothers to seriously think on. If the present home laxity contin ues, as regards the discipline or children, neither the law nor the Gospel can save America. Begin now to make your home a Christian, church-gong home. If you have nto a church home we invite you to come and worship with us.' Come and begin the Lord s Day in our Bible school. In these days of hysteria and confusion, misstate ment and misunderstanding, re garding matters of religion, you will be helped and guided scriptur- ally aright in our services. For the coming Lord's day the sermon top ics are: morning, "The Gospel Plan of Salvation"; evening, "The Hands of Jesus." Come, we invite you. WHERE COMMUNISM FALLS DOWN. For several reasons I find it dif ficult to get as excited as some of my friends about the threat of Communism. In the first place, we have had universal education in this country for a long time. Nearly all can read and write, and quite a large proportion can think. In the second place, our wealth. though very inequitably distribut ed, is enjoyed by a far larger pro portion of people than has ever been true in any nation before. Millions own homes, and land and stocks. Few are entirely satisfied; no one imagines the present social structure Ideal, but very few care to risk losing what they have on the vague promise of acquiring more. But there is a third and more fundamental reason. Communism, even if it came, would not continue. Some form of capitalistic society would very rapidly take its place. Here is an interesting illustra tion: Back in the latter days of the Civil War, wh,en it was necessray to draft men for the Northern ar mies, the Indians of the West thought it a propitious time to re volt. Several regiments of Union sol diers were withdrawn from the front to settle the uprising. A Pennsylvania politician made a smart suggestion. He said to Abraham Linclon; "Our Federal military prisons are filled with Southern military pris oners. These boys are young and keen and good fighters, as we have plenty of reason to know. I'll bet that most of them would rather be outdoors fighting the Indians than sitting idly in jail. Why not re cruit them into regiments and send them West?" The proposal was adopted and was Immediately successful. But this is what happened in one in stance, which throws a fine clear light on the practicability of Com munism. I quote from my father's "Life of Lincoln": "A thousand men were enlisted at Alton, Illinois, and Camp Doug las in Chicago. They left Chicago on two special trains. Each man had in his pocket two hundred dol lars bounty in united States green backs, and none of them had any other money. During the period of their imprisonment most of them had become habitual card players. If they had not previously been so. It is said that before they reached their destination a very few individuals had the lion's share of the money. Perhaps never be fore on earth was there so equitable an experiment in the results of starting men out in life on the basis of equal division of property. The equal division appears not to have lasted very long." Life Is a battle and a gamble. We can improve the rules, give fairer handicaps to the less favored, and make the game more humane, But we can't alter the fundamen tals of human nature. Communism tries to do that; and Communism will always fail. ganda in favor of heavier arma ments. President Hoover politely called the head of the Navy league a liar the other day. The investigation of the league's activities, which he promises may put a stop to its ef forts to keep war expenditures up in peace time. Ham and Macaroni Ham adds a delicious flavor to macaroni. One good combination Is creamed for macaroni and ham. Cut cold boiled or broiled ham in small pieces, pref erably dice about a quarter inch thick. Make a medium cream sauce and 'pour it over boiled macaroni that has been broken or cut into Inch lengths. Add a cup of ham to two cups of macaroni.

Are we considering "Where We Will Spend Eternity?" Is there any subject so vital to us as that of our eternal salvation? Let us stop and consider for a few moments the meaning of "eternity." God Is ten derly speaking to hearts. Is he talk ing to you? Then come and let the Word find lodgment in your heart and allow the Spirit to do its office work. Remember today is the day of salvation; for we cannot boast ourselves of tomorrow "And the Spirit and the bride say, crae. And let him that heareth say, come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely." Rev. 22-17.

In parts of Wyoming, the care of elk is a distinct problem. It is understood that surplus stock can be purchased from the government for the cost of crating where they are to be used for stocking a country. The price here would be the cost of crating plus freight. A few car loads of new blood added to our little stock of elk would soon cre ate a substantial herd. A lot of folks during this depress ing "depression" have come to the forest for their winter fuel. Near ly 2,000 cords of dead wood have been hauled out to ranches near and far. The city and county could get as much as needed for relief purposes if they so desired. All it costs is the hauling. Close to the summit of the Hepp-ner-Spray highway at a little flat near the head of the switchbacks on Kahler creek, where a little icy spring comes trickling out of the rocks, the forest service has set aside a small area for the conve nience of the motoring public. A standard toliet and garbage pit and telephone is being installed and it is hoped that other improvements can be added at some future time. It has been designated as the Fair view camp ground. It was so nam ed because a short distance from the camp it is possible to look out over a large part of the rugged John Day valley where a magnifi cent view of eastern Oregon scen ery may be had. I was reading recently where the Blue mountains were the oldest land, geologically, in the world and undoubtedly this part of the coun try was the original site of the gar den of Eden. Before the Heppner- Spray highway is completed It would be a good Idea to place a marker at the exact place where Adam lost his rib and Eve was cre ated. From the taste of the apples, I believe the original tree stands Just back of our hen house here In Heppner. Holiday Greeting Cards.

That has not stop ped the young people of Chicago from taking books from the library to read. Instead of the up-to-date, modern novels, they are reading the great classics of literature. This is a good thing for the young people of Chicago. They are learning, if nothing else, that the newest books are not necessarily the best books, and that a well-told tale is always interesting reading, even if It were written a hundred years ago. In my opinion, the greatest novel ever written in the English lan guage is "The Way of All Flesh" by the late Samuel Butler. It was written in 1870 and its background is the England of the first half of the nineteenth century, but its peo ple, their points of view, actions and characters are just as true to life as if the book were dated 1930 and the scene set in America. Fifty years from now very few of the books which have been pub lished in the past ten years will be remembered at all. BRAINS Dr. George W. Crile, famous sur geon, told a medical convention re cently that most of the heart and kidney diseases which are becom ing more ad more of a menace are the result of the over-development of the human brain. The frontal brain or cerebrum, that part of the brain which we use for thinking, is a comparatively recent product of evolution. Civilization has developed the brain more rap idly than the physical body, and the strain that is put upon the body by the activities of the brain result in high blood pressure and heart disease, according to Dr. Crile. This is both interesting and plaus ible. In the course of millions of years we may develop a human race with a body totally different in ap pearance and function from our bodies of today. But whether the man of that remote future will have a more highly developed brain than ours, and a body adapted to nour ish the brain, or whether he will have degenerated into a brainless animal, is another question. CONSERVATIVES I think there are plenty of signs of a definite swing toward what is usually called "conservatism"' In politics. People are getting to be afraid of new ideas and new po litical experiments. The conserva tive landslide In the English elec tions was something more than a mere reaction against the party that happened to be In power when economic conditions became bad. I talked a few nights ago with the head of one of the largest Indus tries In this country, "My direct ors are In a panic of terror for fear that Communism will become menace in the United States," he told me, "In the slump of 1921 our company lost $6,000,000 and these directors di.ln't let it worry tnem We have lost only $1,000,000 In the past year and they are scared to death." How far down the line, economic ally speaking, this conservative trend may go I can only guess. I am inclined to think, however, that revolutionary radicals are not going to get much encouragement in the election of 1932. ' ANY BABY WE can never be sure just what makes an infant restless, but the remedy can always be the same. Good old Castorial There's comfort in every drop of this pure vegetable preparation, and not the slightest harm in its frequent use. As often as Baby has a fretful spell, is feverish, or cries and can't sleep, let Castoria soothe and quiet him. Sometimes it's a touch of colic. Sometimes constipa tion. Or diarrhea a condition that should always be checked without delay. Just keep Lastona handy, ana give it promptly. Relief will follow very promptly; if it doesn't, you should call a physician. BOXWOOD The most valuable vegetation that grows in America is boxwood. If you have an old boxwood hedge on yur place you can sell it for almost any price you want to ask for It. That is because it takes from a hun dred to two hundred years for a boxwood hedge to grow to its full est beauty and usefulness. From $150 to $500 a horizontal yard is frequently paid by wealthy men with country estates for old box wood hedges to be transplanted. A friend of mine bought an old farm in the Virginia mountains re cently for a few thousand dollars. He found that the house was not In very good repair and he was won dering whether he had not paid too much for the property, wnen a nur- serv-man came along and offered him' $150,000 cash for the ancient boxwood hedge which surrounded the gardens! These boxwood trees were about ten feet high, and there were perhaps a thousand of them in the hedge.
