Leaves . nature's plumage
I do not know of anything In na
ture more purely beautiful than the
tree-covered northern mountains In
Autumn.
This year the coloring of the
trees la more brilliant than I have
ever seen it. Whether It is because
of the late Summer rains or from
some other cause, the maples are a
more gorgeous scarlet, the birch
leaves a brighter yellow, the oaks
and the elms a more vivid brown,
than usual. From my window as I
write I look out upon Stockbrldge
Mountain, as magnificent in color
ing as a Persian carpet, with the
varying greens of pine, hemlock,
spruce and fir picking out the high
brilliance of the decidious trees,
and I experience a sense of sheer
beauty such as not even the Grand
Canyon nor the Bay of Naples ever
aroused in me.
Other scenes are more stupend
ous and awe-inspiring but the tran
quil beauty of Autumn woods is, to
me, at once uplifting and soul-satisfying.
Unselfish . relief director
Harry Hopkins picked for his life
work a career in which he hasn't a
chance to get rich, but from which
literally millions of other people
are benefitting.
As soon as he graduated from
Grinnell College, In his native Iowa,
he got a job with a charity organi
zation. From one such job he went
to another; Association for Im
proving the Condition of the Poor,
Board of Child Welfare, Red Cross
Flood Relief, director of New York
Tuberculosis and Health Associa
tion, director of New York Relief
Administration and now he is
Federal Relief Administrator, with
$500,000,000 to spend and the duty
of seeing that nobody in America
goes cold or hungry.
I don't know what church Harry
Hopkins belongs to, but he is my
idea of the sort of Christian de
scribed In the parable of the Good
Samaritan.
Ice ... . gives up secrets
Men who study such things are
coming to the conclusion that the
Earth is getting warmer. The lat
est evidence is the thawing of the
frozen earth along the borders of
the Arctic Ocean In northern Si
beria. Twenty thousand years ago or so
the mile-high ice-cap which cov
ered the earth to as far south as
the Ohio River began to melt and
human beings began to move farth
er and farther North. But the soil
of the treeless plains of the Siber
ian tundra thawed only a few feet
below the surface, under the brief
summer suns. Below was the
eternal frost, and preserved as in
Nature's cold-storage were the bod
ies of prehistoric animals, trapped
by the advancing Ice from the
north, perhaps a million years ago.
More than a hundred years ago a
perfectly preserved body of a mam
moth was found where the tundra
had melted. More and more of
them have been found, and each
farther north. This, scientists say,
proves that the polar ice-cap 1b still
receding, and that the time will
come, perhaps In another hundred
thousand years, when semi-tropical
vegetation, such as has been found
undigested in the stomachs of these
mammoths, will grow again In the
Arctic.
Something to think about when
anyone talks of anything being
"permanent."
Flying . . there and back
I had luncheon with a friend one
day recently In New York. "Start
ing for California tonight," he said.
I wished him a pleasant trip and
thought that would be the last I
saw of him for a month or two.
Ten days later I encountered him
again at the same club. "Thought
you were going to California," I
remarked.
"Oh, I've just got back," he re
plied. "Spent a few days with my
dad in San Diego, did a little busl
nes in Kansas City on my way out,
and took in the Chicago Century
of Progress on my way back. I
wouldn't think of traveling even
five hundred miles except by air."
I counted up the years since I
saw Glenn Curtis make the first
public flight ever made in an air
plane. Twenty-nflve years ago last
July! It took a full week, any way
you figured it, to get from New
York to San Francisco in those
days; twenty-two hours now, and
the flying time shortening every
few weeks. Our world has shrunk
and is still shrinking.
Waste . . time and energy
Nine people out of ten spend too
much physical energy doing things
too quickly, or which do not really
need to be done, says my friend
Walter Pitkin In his new book,
"More Power to You." Pitkin Is
himself an example of a man who
cets a great many things done be
cause he does not waste his energy
In unproductive labor.
My old Yankee grandmother used
to admonish me and others of her
kin who wore prone to hurry, "Use
your head to save your feet." An
other of her sayings was that there
was no sense worrying about some
thing that had passed, because
worry wouldn't change It, and there
was no sense worrying about some
thing In the future, because it
might never happen.
That seems to me a Bound work
lng philosophy of life, and Walter
Pitkin explains why that Is so. I
wish everybody who reads this col
umn could get a chance to read his
book.

Editorial
Education is a subject about
which every student, parent, and
even citizens who have no children,
should be vitally concerned.
The student should realize that
the most prominent and most fa
mous men are those who have tak
en advantage of the educational
opportunities which their time of
fered them.
The parents should wish their
children to have the best education,
if for no other reason than pride.
There is more reason for pride in
a good education than there is to
have pride in a new car. The car
will wear out, in time, but the edu
cated boy or girl will continue to be
an everlasting source of pride. Ed
ucation enables the children to
raise higher the standards set by
their fathers.
Citizens who have no children
oft times make remarks to the ef
fect that they should not pay school
taxes. The reason for this is easily
seen. The person has been ill-informed
upon the subject and does
not realize the handicaps the uned
ucated are placed under. Some of
the things such a person does not
realize are: that someone paid for
HIS education and kept him out of
mischief; or that some day he will
pay taxes for an institution in
which people are housed who would
not be there, had they but had the
chance for an education. In sum
ming up the facts already related,
and innumerable facts and incidents
which are not here related, it is be
lieved that the private citizen who,
having no children, will not contrib
ute to the public school fund is do
ing more harm to himself and so
ciety in general than he believes
possible.
Education would have helped this
type of individual.
"The Yellow Shadow," a mystery
play, has been selected as the play
to be presented by the junior class.
The cast, tentatively chosen, is as
follows: Nell Travis, Lorena Wil
son; Gilbert Wright, Edwin Dick;
Alice Perkins, Jessie French; Mil
dred Marvin, Ilene Kilkenny; Hazel
Wayne, Jennie Swendig; Jed Tra
vis, Howard Furlong; Herbert Mar
vin, Joe Green; J. Steel, Francis
Rugg; Sheriff Macklin, Clifford

Science In the School
How few of us there are who
think of the science courses In the
school as subjects whereby one
learns new terms and principles
concerning previously known facts
about common objects, and not a
means by which we can acquire an
extra credit toward graduation.
Only of late have we had access
to the scientific knowledge of to
day. The advancement of science
in the laBt few years has far out
stripped what was ever known or
believed before. The general facts
from this advancement have been
collected and simplified for our
benefit and are now here at our
disposal.
Although a few of us may learn
more about science after gradua
tion, the majority will not If one
is interested, now is the time to
learn, for science is simplified by
study under an Instructor who can
explain the numerous difficult
points which arise.
Today is the age of science. Why
are not more of us interested in the
fact? Why do our students show
so little interest in science when
pur laboratory, poorly equipped
though it may be, surpasses any in
Morrow county. Nothing affects
us more in life than what we know.
Science offers truthful facts proved
by the best ability in the world.
Therefore it is up to the students
in Heppner high school to show
some appreciation of our chance to
gain a knowledge of this worth
while subject

FACING THE ENEMY
Deserted by the people, Jesus for
the first time in his public work
forsook Palestine and led his won
dering but still dutiful disciples in
to the foreign cities of Tyre and
Sidon. The ojurney gave him a
chance to be alone with the twelve;
and it was, in a small way, a repe
tition of his earlier triumphs.
He hated to leave these kindly
strangers. Much more he dreaded
the thought of another trip through
Galilee. What a graveyard of high
hopes it was! Every road, every
street corner, almost every house
and tree was alive with memories
of his success." Now he must pass
each one again, conscious that it
might be the last time, his heart
weighed down with the thought of
high purposes that had brought
no response, and sacrifices seem
ingly in vain. Small wonder that
he cried out against Chorazin and
Bethsaida and even his own loved
Capernaum, the cities for which he
had done so much. "Woe unto you,"
he cried in his loneliness, "for if the
mighty works which were done in
you had been done in Tyre and
Sidon they would have repented
long ago, in sack-cloth and ashes."

passed, and autumn came, bringing

determined to celebrate in Jeru

the information. There were spies
