Mr. Dykstra says the winter has been one of the wettest in the Willam ette valley that he has experienced since living there. Lawrence Beach reports the snow gradually disappearing about Lex ington. Had twice or three times as much snow been on the ground under present conditions it would have been little enough.

Bert Johnson spent a few hours in town Friday, being accompanied by Henry Filkins. His part of the county had a lot of real winter, and also received quite a heavy fall of snow during the last storm.

The most of this wool was In the ware house at Portland. Ralph Butler was in town Satur day from the Cecil ranch. About 12 inches of snow resulted from the recent storm over the Cecil country.

The Flying Eagle patrol (Ameri can Legion) of the local Boy Scout troop, had a patrol meeting last Friday after -school in the high school reference room where they worked upon the first aid problems to prepare, for the first aid contest which will be held in two weeks. Songs were sung Including the pa trol song and plans were made for a patrol camp in the mountains where the patrol will go If possible as soon as school lets out In May. A hike Is planned for next Satur day if weather permits. Tests will be passed and the patrol will work on the camp, StPCKBRifel 1 Boom and in gold "Th end of almost every previous depression in the history of the world has been marked by some kind of a speculative boom. Per haps the wave of speculation in gold mining stocks which started a couple of weeks ago on the London Stock Exchange may prove the 1m petus that will bring money back into circulation rapidly. More gold was mined in 1932 than in any previous year since world records began to be kept. Most of it came from South African mines; a big percentage of it from Canada. Gold is worth more, measured in commodities and labor, than it has ever been. That makes shares' in producing gold mines particularly valuable. In times like these no predictions are safe, but I want to register a guess that the next few months will see a revival of speculation not only in gold mining stocks, but in other securities. Speculation does not make prosperity, but it is near ly always an evidence that people who control important money have come to the conclusion that the worst is over, and are taking their money out of hiding. And that means that prosperity is closer at hand, Taxes . . and how applied I cannot escape the conviction that the fairest systems of taxation are those that are based directly upon what the taxpayer gets for his money. Every cigarette smok er pays a six cents tax every time he buys a package of twenty cig arettes, but nobody protests because nobody feels that he is being taxed. Few people object to paying the gasoline tax, the proceeds of which make highway improvement and maintenance possible. I think one weakness of our in come tax system is that incomes from all sources are taxed at the same rate and lumped together. In comes from rents ought possibly be taxed at one rate; incomes from dividends on stock investments at another rate, and incomes from the profits of trade at still another. More people are studying this question of taxation, and studying it more intelligently than ever be fore. We are going to see radical changes In our taxation system. Baths in the White House I remember when I was a boy in Washington that there was a great debate in Congress over the ques tion of putting a second bathroom in the White House. Mr. Cleveland was President and his political op ponents in Congress declared that he was a devotee of luxurious ex travagance in wanting more than one bathroom in the entire White House. I don't know how many bath rooms there are In the White House now, but my guess is at least a dozen. But when it was proposed In Congress the other day to give President Roosevelt enough money to put a swimming pool In the White House basement, and Rep resentative Schaefer of Washington objected on the ground of extrav-J agance, I was reminded of the fu rore over Mr. Cleveland's bathroom. 'There are lots of people In the United States that don't have swim ming pools," said Mr. Schaefer. That was a pretty cheap appeal to unintelligent voters. He might have aded that there are lots of people, also, who are not President of the United States. Amendments . important Perhaps the next amendment to the Federal Constitution will be the repeal of Prohibition, but there is another amendment that has been pending for ten years, which may get in ahead of repeal. This is the amendment permitting the Federal Government to bar from- Interstate commerce the pro ducts of the labor of children under eighteen. Congress passed a law years ago to that effect, and the Supreme Court hold it was uncon stitutional. An amendment to the Constitution to overcome this was submitted in 1922. Only nine State Legislatures have ratified it. Thir teen have not even brought It to a vote, and twenty-six have rejected it. A great many people believe that this child labor amendment is more vital to the future welfare of the United States than the repeal of Prohibition. Silver ..again Nearly two years ago I began commenting In this column on the price of silver and lt3 effect upon comimodity prices and world trade. Since then a good many intelligent people on both sides of the Atlantic have waked up to ths fact that the demonetization of silver in Europe and the resulting devaluation of the money of the Orient is one of the Important causes of low commod ity prices and a serious obstacle to International commerce, I think It can be proved that the re-establishment of the pre-war price of silver would be the longest possible step toward a revival of business. That does not mean "six teen to one," but It does mean that the discussions of the silver ques tion In Congress ought to be taken seriously. No legislature or congress is go ing to vote us Into prosperity. Each nwin who gets there will travel on hla own feet and no one finds safe ty In shaping his course with the crowd. The HEHISCH Kdited by the Journalism Class of Heppner High School Editorial On Washington's birthday, do you think that it is just another holiday, or do you think of long years ago when George Washing ton, our first President, was leader of the colonial troops, fighting to make us a free nation? ' Let your mind wander back to the long and dreary days that he spent at Valley Forge, weeping and praying for victory, as well as fiercely fighting for the American cause. It is said that he wept with the tenderness of a child when the Hessians stormed Fort Washington using bayonets to ex terminate the Americans. This shows his tenderness of heart, and his love for his soldiers. Another instance of his tenderheartedness was in the battle staged at New York, "when the Hessians were butchering his troops with bayonets he wrung his hands in agony, ex claiming, 'Oh God, what brave fel lows I must this day loose'." "George Washington was an "all around man.' He loved friends and cheerful neighborliness; he loved the active life of outdoor sport and vigorous work; he loved the quiet life of thought which ripened into service for his fellowmen. He loved home with its comforts and its responsibilities; he loved the land which his fathers had left him to use and improve; and he loved and served the country which was his home land. "Not only for what he did, but still more for what he was, Ameri cans honor him "First in the Hearts of His Coun trymen." -Ralph Breedon. Washington Program Given The grade school sponsored a pa triotic program Wednesday morn ing at ten o'clock for the benefit of the entire school, faculty, and guests, in honor of George Wash ington's birthday. The program was as follows: Song3 by the au dience; Minuet by grade school girls; Playlet by fifth grade read ing class; "Character of Washing ton" by Ruth Green; Selections by Primary Rhythm Band; "The Father of the Land We Love" by the Second Grade. School was dis missed immediately after the pro gram. Booster Club Program Big Success Ending in a tragedy, the short skit given by Delia Ulrich, the princess, dick tsenton, ner iatner, the king of Piff Piff Land, and Clair Phelan, the Prince Charming, was a huge success. They walked and talked in three-four time and the Prince kissed the Princess in the same time. When the king refused to let the Prince, "and I live right up to my name by jing,' marry the Princes, he killed himself. When she found her lover dead she took her life and the king found them and killed himself, too. They were in clever costumes portraying the parts well. The song, "Shine," was sung by Jessie French, Hazel Beymer and Anabel Turner in costume. Ana bel did a tap dance. The program was sponsored by the Booster club. Mrs. Lucy Rodgers gave a short address before the Booster club as sembly last Friday. She spoke of the usefulness of 4-H club work and of new clubs to be formed. She then presented Louise Moyer with a golden pin given by Montgomery Ward & Co. each year to the best all-around 4-H club member in each county. i Basketeers Win and Lose The light, fast basketball team from Adams stopped off at Heppner Friday night and after playing the Heppner five a fairly even first half went on a scoring spree In the third quarter and won the game by a score of 48-21. Discounting the one-sided third quarter, the teams were fairly evenly matched. In three quarters, Heppner scored 21 points and Adams 21, but in the third quarter Adams scored 27. Jack Hodgen, left handed left for ward for Adams put on the most outstanding performance on the Heppner floor this season. Curtis Thomson and Jimmy Fur long led the Heppner high basket ball team in a relentless, last breaking attack against the Lex ington quintet to 'a score of 34-29 practice game victory here Wednes day afternoon. The win broke a Lexington jinx on our boys that had run all season; they having beaten Heppner in the first three of a four game series. Bill Becket, though playing his first game at the center position, showed well. Cleo Hiatt, Floyd Jone3 and Tom Hottman played a good game at guard. Hitherto, the triangular offense had been used by spurts but was used continually Wednesday, being the sensation of the game. Herman Green and Roy Gentry, regular center and forward, were unable to play because of ill- Girls Play The first of a series of lnterclass basketball games was played Wed nesday with one team composed of the senior and frosh girls and the other of the Junior and sophomore girls.

The domestic science class cooked the chile as a class project and a com mittee consisting of Esther Adams, Dellla Ulrich, Katherine Healy, Marie Scrivner, Elnore Adkins, Ed na Jones and Anabel Turner from the home economics club served it. A beautiful sea garden made from various nitrate and sulphate salts submerged in a solution of sodium silicate was made at meeting of the Benzine Ring last Thursday. This very delicate gar den has many colors as many salts were used. The five members pres ent including Mr. Lumley discussed and demonstrated more plans for their assembly program March 17. No meeting was held the week be fore this one because the school wasn't open that night. Plans for the junior class assem bly program on March 31 have been made by the program committee: Marie Scrivner, chairman; Miriam Moyer, Harold Ayers, and Billy Thomson. They were helped by their class sponsor, Miss Palmiter. The students who are to take part in this program have also been chosen.

Bruce Barton writes of "The Master Executive" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled In the ex periences of "The Man Nobody Knows" The Center of Interest The Samaritan woman at Jacob's well stopped short, her interest challenged in spite of herself; she set down the pitcher and looked at the stranger. It was a burning hot day; the well was far from the city; she was heated and tired. What did Jesus mean by such a remark? NOW IN SEASON Oysters SHELL FISH Served Here Fresh Daily.

She started to speak, checked her self and burst out Impulsively, her curiosity overleaping her caution: "What are you talking about? Do you mean to say you are great er than our father Jacob who gave us this well ? Have you some magic that will save us this long walk in the sun?" Dramatic, isn't it a single sen tence achieving triumph, arousing interest and creating desire. With sure instinct Jesus followed up his initial advantage. He began to talk to her in terms of her own life, her ambitions, her hopes, knowing so well that each of us is interested first of all and most of all in him self. When uie disciples came up a few minutes later they found an unbelievable sight a Samaritan listening with rapt attention to the teaching of a Jew. He prepared to go but she would not allow it Running back to the city she summoned her brothers and relatives. "Come," she cried, "and see a man who told me all things that ever I did." They followed her out to the well these prejudiced, reluctant men and women who, an hour before, BIG 79c SALE HI f ip Primrose, Heppner's ri.WVlf popular flour, 49-lb.

Pacific Power & Light Company "Alvays at Your Service J" would have thought it Incredible that they should ever hold conver sation with one of their traditional enemies. It is said that great lead ers are born, not made. The say ing is true to this degree, that no man can persuade people to do what he wants them to do, unless he genuinely likes people, and be lieves that what he wants them to do is to their own advantage. The secret of Jesus' sucess was an affection for folks which so shone in his eyes and rang in his tones, that even the commonest man in a crowd felt Instinctively that here was a friend. . . .
