Lowel McMillan, former Morrow
county boy who taught last year In
the high school at Chico, Cal.,
wanted to make sure he was alive,
so Tuesday he came up from Lex
ington where he ia visiting his
grandmother and other relatives,
to look up his birth record at the
court house. Mr. McMillan said he
knew of a case recently where a
man had great difficulty in collect
ing indemnity from an Insurance
company because he could not read
ily establish the fact of his exists
ence, and the former Lexington
youth wanted to make sure he
would never have a like experience.
Mr. McMillan just finished post
graduate work at the O. S. C sum
mer school, and with Mrs. McMillan
will return to Chico for another
year's work in the school there.
Jasper Crawford returned home
Thursday evening from a trip south
which took him to Los Angeles and
the convention of Lions Interna
tional as well as the opening of the
Olympic games. Going and coming
he visited at the homes of his un
cle O. G. Crawford in Klamath
Falls, and brothers Arthur and Bill
at Navato and Sausalito, Calif.
While in Los Angeles he was a
guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
W. R. Poulson who were found to
be enjoying life in the sunny south
land. George Moore was taken to Port
land Tuesday in the Phelps ambu
lance driven by Emmet Ayers to
undergo an examination at the Cof
fey hospital in Portland. Results
of the examination will determine
the length of his stay in the city.
He has been a long sufferer from
stomach trouble which has kept
him bedfast for the last several
months.
Monte Hedwall, buttermaker for
the last three years with the Mor
row County Creamery company
and a popular member of Heppner's
younger set, departed Saturday for
Burns, where he has accepted sim
ilar work with a creamery there.
The well wishes of many friends
accompany Mr. Hedwall to his new
location.
Huckleberrying is the favorite
pastime of many county people
these days. One of the best picks
so far recorded was that of the
Henry Crump family, who returned
home Monday from a three-day so
journ In the timber with 17 gallons.
They were accompanied by Mrs.
John Skuzeskl and children.
Chas. H. Latourell was a business
visitor in Portland the first of the
week, driving back a new Ford car.
Charlie's main worry now is finding
a way back to Dayton, Ohio, where
a national trapshooting event is be
ing held the latter part of the
month. He is threatening to crank
up "Lizzy" and hit the trail.
Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Dix, Miss Vir
ginia Dix and Mrs. Young, mother
of Mrs. Dix, came up from Port
land the end of the week following
a trip of several days down the
Oregon coast. Mrs. Dix was return
ing home after attending summer
school at the University of Oregon
classes held in Portland.
Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Kappell left
Monday morning for Goldcndale,
Wash., after residing in Heppner
for several months while Mr. Kap
pel was lineman for the Pacific
Power & Light company, and dur
ing which time they made many
friends. They will make their home
at Goldendale.
Maurice E. Smead, Oregon gen
eral agent for Pacific Mutual Life
Insurance company with offices in
Portland, son of Mr. and Mrs. W.
W. Smead of this city, writes his
parents that he is attending a con
vention of the company at Los An
geles and looking in on the Olympic
games.
Announcement has been received
in Hppner of the marriage of Mrs.
Charles Curtis to William Piper at
Marshfleld, August 3. Mrs. Piper is
a daughter of Mrs. W. W. Smead
of this city. Mr. Piper operates a
large dairy near Marshfleld where
they will make their home.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Missildine and

Miss Luclllo McDuffee returned
the first of the week from a two
weeks' vacation spent at Oregon
coast points.
Earl and Leonard Gilliam were
absent from the city Tuesday on a
Faith . . . buys farm land
One of my farmer neighbors
called on me the other day. He
wanted to buy forty acres of my
land to add to his hundred and
sixty.
"How do you expect to pay for
it?" I asked him. "I didn't know
any of you dairymen were making
any money, with milk down to four
cents a gallon."
"We're not," replied my neighbor,
"but things can't get any worse so
they are bound to get better. I fig
ure on buying twelve or fifteen more
head of cows in the spring, and I'll
need more pasture. A lot of folks
around here are selling off their
cows and throwing up their hands,
but I've been farming forty years
and I've never seen the time when
the fellow that sticks to it and does
the best he can didn't come out all
right in the end."
I told John he could have the
land and I complmented him on his
faith in the future. It has always
seemed to me that the real back
bone of America is that quality of
confidence. Our recent troubles
have largely been due to loss of
faith in the realities of life. Too
many people are too far removed
from the soil, but the man with his
feet on the ground and the courage
and ability to work, Is the one who
is going to pull us out of the hole.
Silver . . see developments
As I have been predicting in this
column, the remonetization of sil
ver has become a topic of world
wide discussion by governments
and economists. The proposal to
put the Indian rupee back on a sil
ver basis and to restore the silver
content of the subsidiary coinage of
the British Empire is being hotly
debated at the conference at Otta
wa. At the International Economic
Conference called by the League of
Nations for October, the United
States has insisted that the position
of silver as money be given a place
on the program.
I think it is quite probable that
we shall eventually see a small per
centage of silver added to the gold
reserves of the world and used as
an additional basis for money which
will be acceptable everywhere. If
that is done, the effect will be to
increase the volume of money and
so increase the value of commod
ities. This will help every debtor,
who must pay his debts either in
labor or commodities produced by
labor, and it will not injur any
creditor except those who are try
ing to take advantage of present
low commodity prices to grind their
debtors.
Camera . . to doctor's aid
I was in the office of a medical
friend the other day and noticed
for the first time a hole in the wall,
almost concealed by the pattern of
the wall paper. I asked the doctor
what that was for.
He took out of the file on his desk
several cards, on each of which was
a photograph of myself.
"That's the latest idea for a busy

patients every few days, but only
once a year or so as I do you. I
cannot remember what each one of
them looks like, and, besides, it is
of importance in my specialty to
have a record of any change in a
patient's posture or appearance
from year to year. So I have a
camera rigged up behind that par
tition, and every time you have
been in here for the last five years
you have been photographed. Take
a look at the pictures. Don't you

Taxes ... the Beloit way
There are seventy cities in the
United States which pay all of their
municipal running expenses out of
the profit from municipally-owned
public utilities. Beloit, Wisconsin,
nearly 25,000 inhabitants, is the
latest and largest city to take taxes
off real estate.
The city of Jacksonville, Florida,
owns the community's electric light
and power system, and also owns
the toll bridge across the St. Johns
river. Both of these Investments
have been paid for, and now the
Commissioner of Public Utilities
has proposed to the city council
that if they will scale the budget
down 25 per cent he will provide
income enough from the operation
of these utilities to run the city
without any taxes on real property.
If this plan is adopted in this city
of 10,000 inhabitants, I expect hun
dreds of other large municipalities
to follow Jacksonville's example.
Pomerene . . appointment
I used to know Atlee Pomerene
years ago out in Ohio, when he was
Lieutenant-Governor, and active in
Democratic politics. Even then he
had the reputation of being one of
the ablest minds in the state. A lot
of people didn't like him, but even
his Republican opponents respected
him. People said that Pomerene
was one of the few men in politics
whose word could be absolutely re
lied upon.
The comment has been made that
in appointing ex-Senator Pomerene
as chairman of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, President
Hoover has placed at the head of
the greatest banking institution in
the world a man who is not a bank
er. But I remember that long be
fore he had risen to political
heights, Atlee Pomerene, although a
lawyer by profession, had organized
what turned out to be one of the
soundest small banks in the state,
In his home city of Canton. And
the fundamentals of banking are
no different, whether one is running
the Reconstruction Finance Corpor
ation or a small town savings bank.

"The Master Executive"
Supplying a WMk-to-week Inspiration

every human trial paralleled la the ex
periences of "The Man Nobody Know"
Boyhood Background
Many leaders in history have had
a superiority to personal resent
ment and small annoyances that is
one of the surest signs of greatness;
Jesus infinitely surpassed all. He
knew that pettiness brings its own
punishment. The law of compen
sation operates inexorably, to re
ward and afflict us by and through
ourselves. The man who Is mean
is mean only to himself.
The village that refused to admit
him required no fire; it was already
dealt with. No miracles were per
formed in that village. No sick
were healed; no hungry were fed;
no poor received the message of en
couragement and inspiration that
was the penalty for its boorishness.
As for Jesus, he forgot the incident
immediately he had work to do.
Theology has spoiled the thrill of
Jesus' life by assuming that he
knew everything from the begin
ningthat his three years of public
work were a kind of dress rehear
sal, with no real problems or crises.
What interest would there be in
such a life? What inspiration?
You who read these lines have your
own creed concerning him; I have
mine.
Let us forget all creed for the
time being, and take the story of
Jesus' life just as the simple narra
tives give it-a poor boy, growing
up in a peasant family, working in
a carpenter shop; gradually feeling
his powers expanding, beginning to
have an influence over his neigh
bors, recruiting a few followers,
suffering disappointments and re
verses, finally death.
Yet Jesus built so solidly and
well that death was only the be
ginning of his influence! Stripped
of all dogma his was the grandest
achievement story of all!
If we are criticized for overem
phasizing the human side of Jesus'
character we shall have the satis
faction of knowing that our over
emphasis tends a little to offset
the very great overemphasis which
has been exerted on the other side.
Books and books and books have
been written about him as the Son
of God; surely we have a reverent
right to remember that his favorite

Nazareth, where he grew up, was
a little town. In the fashionable
circles of Jerusalem it was quite
the thing to make fun of Nazareth
its crudities of custom and speech,
its simplicity of manner. "Can any
good thing come out of Nazareth?"
they asked derisively when the re
port spread that a new prophet had
arisen in that country town. The
question was regarded as a com
plete rebuttal of his pretensions.
The Galileans were quite con
soious of the city folks' contempt,
but they bore it lightly. Life was
a cheerful and easy-going affair
with them. The sun shone almost
every day; the land was fruitful; to
make a living was nothing much to
worry about. There was plenty of
time to visit Families went on
picnics in Nazareth, as elsewhere in
the world; young people walked to
gether in the moonlight and fell in
love in the spring. Boys laughed
boisterously at their games and got
into trouble with their pranks.
And Jesus, the boy who worked
in a carpenter shop, was a leader
among them.
