Official Paper for Morrow County
W. C. T. U. NOTES
FRANK GILLIAM.
AFTER today, it will only be in
referring to the annals of the
past, that one name long prominent
in Heppner will be mentioned jy
Morrow county's newspaper; for
the bearer of that name has gone
to a well earned rest
In length of business service to
the community, and in the prom
inence gained through contribution
to the upbuilding of Heppner,
Frank Gilliam gained right to the
title of first citizen.
The length of his continuous ac
tive business service in .ueppnei
antedates that of any living real
dent. Besides having had the man
aeement of one of the largest hard
ware firms in eastern Oregon for
46 vears. in which he remained ac
tive up to a few days before his
death, he was the last president of
the First National bank. He had
many times held public office, and
few movements of a civic or patri
otic nature that had to do with the
betterment of town or country
arose in this time but he was eith
er at the head or took en active
part in helping.
A strong, vigorous man, Frank
Gilliam knew no physical affliction
until a year ago when the ravages
of influenza made him bedridden by
illness for the first time. The In
roads of that attack are believ d
to have been responsible for his
fatal illness.
His vigorous physique was typ
ical of the man, whose force, of
character commanded the respect
and esteem of associates. And whi'e
his friends may no longer meet his
smiling countenance, they will long
be confronted by the fruits of nis
labor, builded so substantially in j
the fabric of the community.
He is not gone, indeed, whose
good works live after him; though
breaking of earthly ties bring3
pangs of sorrow.

FAVORITE PASTIME.
DASSING the buck to subordinates
A appears to be a favorite pastime
for many public officials. When
the forester tells Senator Steiwer
such and such a thing can't be done,
Mr. Steiwer takes the forester's
word for it and lets the matter
drop. And when highway commis
sioner Aldricb. is approached on an
action taken by a district engineer,
be politely says, "We must not in
terfere." It is that kind of business in gov
ernment that smells unto high hsa
ven and causes people to lose con
fidence in their government offi
cials. The case in point referred to Mr.
Aldrich was the removal last week
of Jack Coblantz as maintenance
man on the local sector of the Ore
gon-Washington highway. The in
justice done Mr. Coblantz waB
smoothed over to an extent by re
employing him at the same salary
formerly received, tut as an assist
ant to another man who was given
his job. If the grounds on which
he was discharged were such
as to permit smoothing over, they
were not sufficient to have brought
about his discharge In the first
place.
There is incompetency some
where in the set-up above. And
when such incompetency appears
the administrative heads should
weed it out Those who have the
power to do a thing, and who crawl
out from under I passing the buck
to someone whom they have the
power to control, are the ones to
be censured. They are the ones who
are permitting an overlordship of
petty officials which is rapii'ly
reaching the pcint of intolerabillty.
MARY A NOTSpN. Reporter.
Now that it is evident that both
the repeal of the 18th amendment
and the dry amendments to the
state constitution will be on trial
at the bar of public opinion at an
early date, it behooves the dry
forces to begin to organize their
forces for the conflict Do not for
one instant think that the dry
forces will not fight There may
have been mistakes in dealing with
the question during the past few
years, but that is no reason why the
dry forces should surrender with
out making a brave fight to protect
the home, the helpless women, the
little children, and the weak-willed
against the onslaught of the booze
gang. The wets may call the dry
forces fanatics and other hard
names, but they concede that the
drys have no ulterior" motive in
their stand. On the other hand,
remember that it is the money that
is to be made out of the liquor bus
iness that supplies the motive of the
wets who are putting up the finan
cial support for the repeal move
ments. In a recent number of Scribner's,
a writer who confessed himself ns
a iigtime bootlegger and an
avowed wet, said: "Speaking as a
man who knows his underworld, I
predict that the repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment will pre
cipitate an unparalleled orgy of
crime. . . . Every underworld buz
zard knows what will occur if pro
hibition is ditched, and they are
preparing for it . . . Will your cor
rupt politicians discontinue selling
protection to racketeers when you
outlaw the booze business? And
will those 20,000 crooks who have
been living the life of Reilly for
the past ten years all turn to hon
est labor when you drive them out
of the liquor business? Well, per
sonally, I don't think so. I think
that when prohibition no longer
holds the attention of the high-class
crooks, they are going back to their
old rackets, and then we'll see
crime that is crime."
All this propaganda of the wets
to the effect that the so-called crime
wave is due to prohibition will not
bear the light of close analysis. As
Calvin Coolidge told the American
Bar Association, at their meeting
shortly after prohibition went into
effect a00- before the wets had be
gun their propaganda along this
line, "since the 1890 s there has been
an ever-increasing tide of lawless
ness In this country." So, it ap
pears that the increase in crime ne-
gan 30 years before prohibition.
Another thing which is not taken
into account in this connection is
the motor vehicle. With the motor
vehicle at the service of criminals.
the means of committing crime and
escaping from the scene of the
crime have been greatly increased.
This applies to all kinds of crime,
murder, robbery, larceny, contrib
uting to the delinquency of minors,
and other forms of crimes. ' Cri . i
inals, as everyone knows, make use
of (he motor vehicle to an amazing
extent Do not be misled by ali
this wet propaganda as to the in
crease of crime being due to prohibition.
Master of Situations
In all the three years of his pub
lic work there was not one mo
ment when Jesus failed to be com
plete master of the situation. He
was accessible to anybody in the
market-place, in the temple and on
the main streets fair game for the
keen and clever. It became quite a
recognized sport to match wits with
him. Pharisees tried it; Scribes
tried it: "a certain lawyer" tried it.
Always they came off second best
At length the very chiefs of the
priests came one afternoon. Lesser
antagonists had gone down; now
the leaders themselves would take
the matter in hand. They would
demolish this presumptuous up
start; by the splendor of their
presence and their offices, they
would awe him into line.
"By what authority do you do
these things," they demanded brusk
ly, "and who gave you this author
ity?"
If they expected him to yield an
inch they received the surprise of
their lives. His retort was instan
taneous. s
I'll ask you a question," he ex
claimed, "and if you answer it, then
I'll tell you by what authority I
work. Answer me now, what about
John; was his work in baptizing in
spired by Heaven or by men :
They caught their breath. Their
heads came together; excited and
disturbing whispers were exchang
ed. What Should they say? If we
nnmvpr that John had come from
Heaven, he will say, "Well, why
then didn't you believe him?" If
we say, that he came from men.
this crowd of fools will tear us to
pieces, because every last one of
them believes that John was
prophet What shall we do? Bet
ter tell him we don't know; better
get out of here as quickly as we
can.
"We don't know," they muttered,
"All right" said Jesus serenely.
"You don t answer my question
Neither will I answer yours."
It was a perfect triumph. Amiil
the jeers of the delighted crowd
they gathered up their fine robes
and went away,
You would think as you read the
narratives that the wise ones would
have been wise enough to let him
alone. Even a child having burned
its fingers once, knows enough to
avoid the fire. But their jealousy
and anger drove them back again
and again; and every time he was
too much for them. In the very
last week the Pharisees and Her
odians" gathered together a picked
delegation of sharp wits and sen
them with what looked like an ab
solutely fool-proof bomb. . They
started in with flattery; after all he
was a simple fellow from the prov
inces a few kind words and his
head would be turned. Then they
would catch him off his guard
Rhea Creek Grange.
By VELMA HUSTON
On last Saturday Rhea Creek
Grange entertained the Pomona
Grange. We were more than pleas
ed with the large crowd in attend
ance. State Master Gill was pres
ent at this meeting and in the af
ternoon gave a very Interesting
talk on the sales tax.
Believe me, this Sunday Grange
the day after Pomona is no fun.
Ask those that were present at
Rhea Creek Grange last Sunday 'r
further proof. First, we had three
candidates for the first and second
degrees. They came for dinner and
we had nothing to feed them. Then
to make matters worse our Worthy
Master, Deb Wright resigned, can
celing all his special committees
with his resignation. This is to be
come effective May 7. Even consid
ering all this we had quite a suc
ant meeting. First and second de
grees were conferred on Mr. and
Mrs. Earl Eskelson and daughter,
Beulah.
Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Becket of

PIERCE AT WORK.
ASSURANCE has been received
from Walter M. Pierce, repre
sentative in congress, that he will
do all possible to obtain comple
tion of the Heppner-Spray road at
the earliest possible date. Written
In response to information furnish
ed by George Bleakman, ex-commissioner,
and W. T. Campbell
county Judge, Mr. Pierce's assur
ance rings sincere. More so thm
the action of Frederick Steiwer,
senator, who was apparently con
tent to let the matter drop on the
first ill-founded rebuttal from tUe
forest service.
The men from this county show
where Morrow county alone has
expended $300,000 on the Heppnv
Spray road, to help build a needed
service road to the forest; and that
170,000 of this amount was actuai.y
expended within the boundaries cf
the national forest, in spite of the
quoted claim of the forester that
Morrow and Wheeler counties to.
gether had expended only $100,000,
and that all this amount had gone
outside the forest boundary.
There Is absolutely no justice to
the claim of the forester In light
of the facts, and in view of the ser
vice which the department is ex
pected to give. Mr. Steiwer waj
chastised in these columns Hat
week because of the weak-kneed
attitude he assumed, and the ap- ports County Agent Beck.

Next Week: "Render Unto Caesar.
Edible Wild Plants Now
Ready for Oregon Cooks
Freezing out of many winter gar
dens has made it necessary for the
general public to buy vegetables
from the market or go without Or
egon is blessed, however, with an
abundance of wild plants which
may be eaten as greens or in sai
and which are as palatable and rich
in vitamins as, any of the domestic
plants.
Descriptions, drawings and sug
gestions for preparation of these
plants have been prepared by Dr.
Helen M. Gilkey, associate profess
er of botany at Oregon State col
lege. This mimeographed sheet
will be sent free upon request from
the college.
Dandelion and common mustard
leaves are among those which may
be gathered for greens in March
and April while they are still tender,
according to Dr. Gilkey. Dandelion
leaves are boiled in two waters to
remove the bitter ta3te. Indian
and Chinese lettuce, curly dock and
pig-weed may be used for greens In
April and May. Indian or miner's
lettuce grows in moist shady places
with small white or pinkish flowers
and upper leaves which are circular
around the stem. Chinese lettuce
or false dandelion resembles the
dandelion but the flower stem3 are
branching and the leaves somewhat
hairy. Curly dock is a roadside
weed, often found around deserted
buildings, which has small srreeni
flowers in long clusters and nar
row, crinkled leaves. Pig-weed or
iamb s quarters has Small, incon
spicuous flowers and the entir
plant is somewhat white and scalv
Greens are washed thoroughly to
remove all grit, and cooked for
short time in a very small amount
of water. In most cases, the water
left clinging to the leaves after
washing is sufficient. Greens may
be seasoned with meat flavor, that
of bacon fat being particularly
pleasing.
Several wild plants may be used
raw in salads, says Dr. Gilkev
Water cress is gathered In April
and early May, before or at the time
of blossoming, for this use. It is
round in slowly running water with
the plants more or less matted to
gether. The small, white flowers are
four-petaied, and the leaves a dark
green, Braken or brake fern is
used in salads or cooked like as
paragus. The young shoots which
appear early In April are used af
ter removing the tips and base and
brushing off the hairs. Dandelion
roots, Indian and Chinese lettuce
may also be prepared as salads.
An exhibition of these various
plants will be displayed by Miss
Lucy A. Case, nutrition specialist
at the college, at the homemakers'
conference on the . campus March

Flags in Germany
The German flag has been chang
ed again. Instead of the red, white
and gold stripes of the Republic,
the new Nazi government has gone
back to the old flag of the empire,
red, white and black, with the swas
tika, or hooked cross, imposed upon
it
Since the Great War there Is
hardly a national flag which has not
been changed,. The Stars and
Stripes stands out today as one of
the oldest flags In the world. Only
the banners of Denmark and Swit
zerland are older than Old Glory.
We still think of the United
States as a young nation. As a
matter of fact, our country is about
the only one In the world which has
not undergone revolutionary
changes in its form of government
in the past 150 years. It seems to
me that Americans ought to shake
off the idea that other nations are
older and therefore wiser than we,
and assert our right to tell the rest
of the world where to get off, since
we are not only the richest but the
oldest member of the family of na
tions.

COLD FEET
To the bow-wows with your "vlt
amins and your sex-normones
and your invisible cells! Let's talk
about something you can. under
stand, that you meet every day.
'Cold feet' Is most emphatically
a SYMPTOM, and if you have 'em
persistency it's a sign that yovr
nerves are not up to normal, or
that your capillary circulation is
faulty or both. Elderly and old
individuals are often victims of
this sort of condition. Many "nerv
ous" women who are much younger
suffer with cold feet
It is worth while to pay attention
to habitually cold feet I am
believer in a salt-water bath for the
feet before retiring, when feet re
main cold In bed for a long time.
The salt in the water stimulates the
capillary circulation in the skin,
and " the nerve-endings there as
well. Bathe the feet with the salty
water, and dry them with a coarse
towel. Get right into bed after
treating. Keep up your attention
to the feet a month If jwu can.
Limited amount of blood in the
feet means excess of blood in other
localities. Some cold-footed indi
viduals have congestive headaches.
If your home is not built for cold
feet, get a hot-water bag and warm
the region Inhabited by your feet In
bed. If not that, a hot iron even a
hot brick. I have known warm
feet to cure some forms of head
aches. Remember some of you we
poor folks often adopt poor ways.
We do not all have air-tight houses
and steam-heated rooms. Some of
us live out in the country, you
know. I cant help feeling just a
wee bit sorry for victims of cold
feet hence this letter.
Your physician will probably recommend-
a good nerve tonic in addi
tion to my hints. He will know.
Warm feet are good protection
from kidney disease bear in mind.
Eddie Savoy has retired. Eddie
is the colored man who has been
doorkeeper in the State Department
in Washington for sixty-four years.
He was a little boy of thirteen when
he first went to work under Secre
tary of State Hamilton Fish, in
1869. Eddie is 77 years old now.
He has served faithfully under 21
different Cabinet officers but his
legs are gettirig rheumatic, so he
told Secretary Hull the other day
that he thought he would retire on
his civil service pension.
Every foreign diplomat who has
been in Washington since General
Grant was President knows Eddie
Savoy, and he got to know them all,
His unfailing courtesy and natural
dignity never failed to impress all
who came in contact with him. .
"A faithful public servant," said
Secretary Stimson, as he said good
bye to Eddie Savoy. That cannot
be said of every white man who has
held office In Washington.
Strother . his death a loss
No finer gentleman, no abler
journalism, no more faithful friend,
ever lived than French Strother
whose sudden death in Washington
at the age of 49 put an end to a
career of high promise.
A native of Missouri, a newspaper
man in California, for many yeare
an editor of World's Work, author
of half a dozen books, French
Strother attracted the attention of
Herbert Hoover by writing some
articles about the work of the De
partment of Commerce. One of
Mr. Hoover's first appointments as
President was that of French
Strother as his Administrative As
sistant It was Strother's task, hid
den away in an obscure office in
the White House basement to gath
er the data the President needed to
prepare his messages and public
addresses, then to polish their lan
guage after Mr. Hoover had rough
ed them out.
Like everybody else who knew
him, Mr. Hoover formed a warm
personal attachment for his able
assistant French Strother was my
friend of years; his passing is
real loss to the world of journalism
Ladak Alfalfa Planted
Fort Rock Jim Bonnick, a local
farmer, has arranged with County
Agent Johnson to try out 10 acres
of Ladak alfalfa this spring, certi
fied seed having been obtained
from Baker county. Ladak is be
coming Increasingly popular as a
dry land variety as it produces a
big first crop while natural mois
ture is present. Seed of this varie
ty is much in demand now so that
it has proved profitable as a seed
crop in parts of Oregon where con
ditions are suitable.

contains planting plans and other
information for guiding the inex
perienced gardener in producing a
score or more different vegetables
on a plot 60 by 100 feet
Each county agent in the 28 coun
ties maintaining them is prepared
to give local assistance and advice
in adapting the recommendations
contained in this new leaflet to the
particular conditions prevailing in
each county.

er In some instances, are being pro
vided under the terms of money
granted by the Reconstruction Fi
nance corporation, strict rules have
been issued to prevent the abuse of
this privilege through Issuing seed

employed persons.
"R. F. C. funds are made avail
able for seeds and fertilizers with
the expectation that local agencies,
public and private, will cooperate in
such matters as making suitable
garden tracts, tools and equipment
available, and providing irrigation
water when possible," says Direct
or Maris.. "Only persons 'willing

couraged to do so. As unemployed
persons receiving relief are not able
to purchase adequate quantities of
vegetables, subsistance gardens will
not compete to any considerable

Canada .... good banking
There are a good many things
we could learn from Canada, and
one of them la banking.
Canada has been going through
just as difficult an economic crisis
as the United States, but there has
not been a bank failure there in ten
years. Only two Canadian banks
have closed their doors since 1910,
The reason for this is that there
are only ten banks in Canada. All
of them have headquarters either
in Montreal or Toronto. They have
about 4,000 branch banks, however,
so that the smallest community en
titled to banking facilities hasJ
them, and has behind its local
branch all the resources of the pow
erful parent institution.
I have never been able to see any
sound reason why the United States
should not permit branch banking
on the Canadian plan. Certainly
the experience of the past three or
four years, with small banks failing
by hundreds, ought to be proof that
the present system is a poor one.
Savings . in Postal banks
More than three quarters of a
million Americans have nearly sev
en hundred million dollars on de
posit with the United States in the
form of Postal Savings. That Is
one operation of the Government
in a field also occupied by private
busnless, which has proved a huge
success.
Owing to the law which prohibits
any person from having more than
$2,500 on deposit in the Postal Sav
ings at one time, postmasters have
to reject more deposits than they
receive. Also, only comparatively
few post-offices are authorized to
accept savings accounts.
It seems to me that the new Ad
ministration at Washington could

cent Interest regularly.
