Try It DUTIES OF AMERICAN CITI ZENSHIP. By DORA BAILEY. (Editor's Note This essay by Dora Bailey, eighth grade student in the Heppner schools, won first place in a recent contest sponsored by Heppner unit American Legion Auxiliary.) As American citizens we enjoy many privileges; more perhaps than citizens of other countries. How ever, aliens, dissatisfied with their own country, on coming to our country are forever stirring up fires of communism and trying to under mine our government Therefore, it. behooves everyone who enjoys the rights of American citizensh'p to perform their duties honestly and well. By doing so they will keep America the home of Free dom, Justice and Democracy. What are the duties of American citizenship? First, there is loyalty. Every citizen should be loyal to America and should help make the government strong. Did not our forefathers fight to establish and maintain a free, representative gov ernment In which every citiz n should have a share? Ought we not therefore to do our share and fight if necessary to defend our country? Second, is our duty toward ojr Flag: our "Star Spangled Banner." Let us see that our Flag is properly displayed. Let us ever guard and respect the Flag. Our third duty is that we uphold the Constitution of the United States and the laws of the state in which we live. In our Constitute i it states: 'No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law." The laboring man, as an example, enjoys the right of owning his tools and savings. He may put his sav ings Into a home, a shop, or he may Invest his savings in Liberty Bonds. The right of private property thus enables him to become a household er, an employer or a bondholder. In this way American Industry has been built up. As laws are made to help and pro tect citizens; so should we obry and respect them as well as the courts and officers who enforce th3 laws. Our fourth duty Is to be useful and loyal to our Nation, state, and town. A man should engage !n some useful occupation, send his children to school, and keep his premises and home sanitary. He should do all he can toward fur thering education, as crime, unsani tary conditions, and communism aro usually associated with igno rance. We should make use of our voles and vote honestly and intelligently. Let us remember that the vote is the greatest gift that our American ltiz'inshlp gives us. We should Price Adjustments Are Discussed in Circular An easy way to estimate the amount of increase in farm prices necessary to reach "parity under the new Farm Bill is explained in the April report on the agricultural situation just released by the Ore gon agricultural extension service. The report also contains data to compare farm price levels in Ore gon with those for the whole coun try, and information on other as pects of the farm problem. The Farm Bill plan, with some exceptions, is to use the 1910 to 1914 period as the base for estimat ing "parity." This is the same per iod used in preparing the govern ment indexes of prices received and prices paid by farmers. Since the prices-paid Index is now just over 100, the Indexes of prices re ceived by producers indicate the approximate degree of "parity." For Instance, the wheat Index ror March was 39 and the prices-paid index 103; therefore, wheat pric 9 were under 40 per cent of "parity." All farm products combined were approximately 50 per cent of par in exchange for commodities usual ly bought by farmers. One of the principal reasons for low farm prices is that exports of farm products are way down. In 1932 the volume, exclusive of cot ton, was less than 30 per cent of the war-time peak of 1919, and one fourth less than the 1910-1914 aver age. Wheat exports in 1932 drop ped to 25 per cent of pre-war. Since around one-eighth of the farm production was exported from 1925 to 1929 and there are about 350,000,000 acres used for orops, the loss of foreign markets is serious. Less land needed for horse and mule feed has also been a factor in bringing about what looks like a surplus of 50,000,000 acres or more of crop land. One reason for the decline In ex ports, besides increased farm p o duction abroad, is that foreign countries now owe us about $21,000, 000,000 more than we owe them, whereas before the war we owed them around $3,000,000,000 net They no longer want our farm products in payment of debts, hut need to sell goods here to pay theirs UWLOD nf UII BBS? we should pay cur taxes without at tempting evasion. By, doing so we help keep up our government Our Constitution has endured for almost one hundred twenty-five years and our nation has prospered in every way. It Is a great privilege to be a citi zen of the United States of Ameri ca, and it should be a greater priv ilege for every man to perform th duties of citizenship to the best of his ability. Wherever "Old Glory" floats and whenever the "Star Spangled Banner" plays, wonld that every man could say: "I am a good citizen; I have performed my du ties well for this 'My own my nath e land'." Resolutions of Condolence. Whereas, it has pleased c Heavenly Father to summon to his Eternal Home our beloved Brother Frank Gilliam, who was a charter member of Ruth Chapter No. 32, Order of the Eastern Star, and whj, for so many years ably officiated as its Worthy Patron, and Whereas, there is a vacancy in our Chapter and in the home of his loved ones, that will never more be filled; Be it resolved, that Ruth Chapter extends its sympathy to his family and relatives, in their hour of be reavement and records its sorrow In the loss of one, who has, for so many years, been a true and faith ful member of our order; And, be it further resolved, that a copy of these resolutions be pre sented to the family, and copies be given the local newspaper for pub lication, and spread upon the min utes of our chapter.

Willamina Two gravity farm Ir rigation systems are being installed this spring on the Wise and Men denhall places along the Willamina river. On the Wise place the wa ter will be taken out high up in the hills and will be flumed about 2000 feet and then un in an open ditch to a 48-acre field. The county agent has pronounced this one of the most feasible projects in the coun ty. Mr. Mendenhall is also building a gravity system, taking the water from a small creek tributary to the Willamina river at almost no cash cost to irrigate 15 acres.
