INDICATIVE of the return of bet- - ter time3 for Morrow county was the opening Monday of the Heppner branch of the First National Bank of Portland. This thought was pre dominant in the minds of folks from over the county who joined with the people of Heppner in eel ebrating the event And the first day s business of the bank is sub stantiating evidence that the faith is not unfounded. The opening was marked with flowers, real and figurative, express- ing good will toward the bank. Bank officials showed appreciation and pronounced their faith in the future of this territory, which was more profoundly expressed in the establishment of the bank itself. In reality the establishment of the branch office here is no mere display of neighboriiness or un wonted affection for a particular group of people. It is the result of thorough investigation of the bus iness possibilities of the trade terri tory by hard-headed business men experienced in the banking busi ness. That such an investigation by such men has resulted in open ing of the branch office here speaks more eloquently of the economic stability of the section than any words of a Webster might convey, But while the bank comes as a purely business venture, its being so touches the human side of life in Morrow county that the celebra- tion was not unwonted and the bank's value in the future should not be measured alone in cold dol lars and cents. A system of banking is essential to a well rounded economic struc ture for any region. Through the recent times of depression our peo ple, as well as people throughout the nation, have learned just how vitally necessary banking facilities are to the free flow of trade, and in turn to providing the very susten ance of life to the mass of the people. Because of the vital part played by banks in the economic structure of the country, the national govern ment has taken extreme measures to put them on a solid, substantial footing as President Roosevelt has put it, the government has gone into partnership with the banks. This security, added to that reflect ed by the enviable record of the strong Portland institution, brings to the Morrow county branch a solidarity that brooks naught but confidence from the people. It is the expressed policy of the new bank to be a part of the com munity and to aid in its progress in every way consistent with good banking practice. That is as it should be, and is all that the com munity should expect No business should be expected to do more; all businesses should do as much. The bank's opening has marked the beginning of a new era in Mor row county, an era the construct iveness, and length of constructive ness of which, will yet depend large ly on the Initiative and constructive effort of the individual. PATERNALISM? PROBABLY at no time in history has any people been made more aware of attempts of its governing head to benefit the masses than has the people of the United States since inauguration of the present admin istration. Nearly all the letters of the alphabet have been employed to designate the various government agencies that have been established to bring succor to the various class es. It is proposed to increase the public debt to the largest point in history, avowedly as an investment to enlarge the activities of the peo- THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR S -tN"a DOWN W 1 WMtf TO II Tl ' Oh con. on tvr. it tya. cold just rstf vmm a u ftNO STOP VO.a I T HEfcfc Mi ORCHESTRA S HaOftUV M 'USSING' A WHEN VlE C&N GET IT L URE 1 ON TH' M0 RIGHT ) V 7 rvpik - MJtm i v y. -i ii - &j jr. iv, -", I V I 1 1 C if V .71 I pie generally so that all may have constructive employment and enjoy I the privileges of life that are right fully theirs. j In adoption of the tremendously large, ideally democratic, program party lines have been wiped out and President Roosevelt stands without a peer since Washington in the unanimity of support given his leadership by the people of the na tion. In spite of maladjustments in places, the program by and large is working, and most indications point to successful accomplishment The sentiment of the people of Morrow county generally appears to be wholly sympathetic and ap proving of the administration pro gram, but there are those who mis interpret its intentions. Some peo ple are impatient because recovery comes slowly, and feel that they have not been given just consider ation. There are those who feel that one's neighbor has been treat ed better than oneself, and that because the government has given work to one it should give work to all who are similarly situated. On the other hand there are those who question that the government has not gone too far in providing as much work as it has because of the danger of breaking down indi vidual self reliance. It is the announced intention of the goverment program to provide sufficient government employment for enough of the unemployed of the nation that the additional buy ing poyer thereby created will stim ulate the ordinary lines of indus try so that they in turn will absorb the remaining unemployed as well as put those temporarily employed by the government back to their accustomed jobs, and thus through reconstruction of the economic structure of the country increase the output of the people generally in an amount sufficient to pay off the public debt and at the same time provide more enjoyable living con ditions for everyone. The theory is not one of paternal ism. And no one should expect paternalism as a result. Paternal ism destroys the initiative of the individual on which the success of democratic government relies. U. 0. Scientists Perfect New Tests for Marksmen Eugene. Expert riflemen of the University of Oregon R. r T n unit greatly excelled all other stu- aents in a series ot muscular coor dination tests given here recently, and so positive were the results that universitv Dsvcholne'ists iu in tho experiment a new and efficient method of selecting men for expert marksmen, it was announced by Dr. Robert H. Seashore, associate professor of psychology, and Ray mond D. Adams, his assistant. The results showed that but one person out of 60 examined pnnallsri the record made by members of the rifle team in a series of Ave tests. Musicians, draftsmen and athletes, as well as a number of men select ed at random, made up the group. Additional experiments carried out with the riflemen indicate that the actual training in rifle shooting itself was not the major factor in accounting for the superiority shown by team members. Inten sive practice in the tests themselves carried on over a period 10 times as long as the standard time pro duced an amount of improvement which would account for only one fifth of the total range of individual difference. The university scientists now plan, as a crucial test, to select from men wholly untrained in rifle shoot ing one group showing superiority in these tests and another showina- average ability. Both groups will men De given the same training in markmanshiD. If thi spWtBri group shows a marked snnerinrirv in actual rifle fire, it is believed that a standard test can be devised that will eliminate the costly practice methods now used to selert men fur training. Savings in ammunition Dy armies, military schools and oth er organizations would be tremen dous, it was pointed out Dr. Seashore is well known In psychological research fields for his previous work. Motor coordination testing apparatus he has devised is now used in psychological labora tories ail over the United States. Malheur to be Free of T. B.

Emergency Dairy Feeds Discussed by 0. S. C. Men Considerable interest has been shown among dairymen in main tenance rations for dairy cattle, say dairy staff men at Oregon State college. With the low price of but- terfat, many dairymen are finding it difficult to buy feedstuffs which are maintaining a fairly high price level. Also,, there is a slow de mand for milk cows, and beef prices are very low. The situation is more difficult in the Willamette valley where practically all of last year'! oats and vetch hay crop was des troyed by winter freezing. It is certainly logical for every dairyman to cull his herd closely at the present time rather than pur chase feeds for them. Old cows, poor producers and unhealthy ani mals such as abortion reactors, dif flcult breeders, and animals with udder disorders may well be dis posed of. Similarly, young heifers may be culled and only the choicest ones retained. It would be much more desirable to cull out one- fourth or even one-half of the herd and to feed those remaining some what better, than to attempt to maintain all the herd if the feed supply is limited. The most economical ration to feed depends directly on the feed stuffs available on the particular farm, say the dairy specialists. A good quality of legume hay meets the requirement of growing heifers fairly well. If only grass or a cer eal hay, such as oat hay, is avail able, then it would be economical to supplement the ration of a grow ing yearling heifer with three quar ters to one pound daily of a high protein concentrate such as peanut meal. It would cost about $2 to feed a protein supplement to a growing heifer until pastures should be available. The expenditure is justified if the animal is to be re tained as a future dairy herd re placement. . The question has been frequently asked recently whether dairy cat tle can be maintained on straw. A good quality of straw will supply much of the energy requirements of cattle if they "can be induced to consume enough of it, but it is so low in protein that a 600 pound heif er would have to consume approxi mately 100 pounds of straw daily to meet her protein requirements. The problem of straw feeding re solves itself, then, into the two con siderations of getting cattle to con sume it and supplying additional protein. Molasses has long been used as an appetizer by diluting with water and pouring over unpalatable roughage to induce cattle to eat it. By pouring two to three pounds per animal daily of diluted molasses over straw, corn stover or a poor quality of hay, cattle may be In duced to eat a sufficient amount to meet most of their nutritive require ments, except for digestible protein and minerals. A more complete consideration of this subject is given in a new mim eograph circular prepared at the college dealing with emergency dairy rations. NOTICE OF ANNUAL STOCK HOLDERS' MEETING.

Farm Debt Committees Appointed by Governor To assist worthy farmers and their creditors to work out volun tary agreements, state and county committees are being set up thruout the country. Governor Meier has appointed a farm-debt adjustment committee in every county in Ore gon. The county committees will serve under the general direction of the Oregon Agricultural Advisory coun cil, in cooperation with the Oregon State College Extension service. The Morrow county committee consists of Bert Johnson, lone; S. J. Devine, Geo. N. Peck, Lexington; H. V. Smouse, lone, and J. J. Wight man, Heppner, who were nominat ed for appointment by the executive committee of the Agricultural coun cil. The job of first importance which confronts this committee is to help work out debt-adjustment agree ments in cases where applications for Federal Land Bank loans have not been closed owing to an excess of old debts over the amount of new capital which can be borrowed. The number of such cases varies, rang ing trom a few up to 200 or more per county. Any farmer who needs informa tion on the procedure to be followed by the committee, or on types of rarm-debt adjustment agreements, should get in touch with the coun ty agricultural agent, Chas. W, Smith, who has a supply of appli cation blanks upon which to reg ister cases for consideration by the committee. The work of the committee is not limited to Federal Lank Bank cases but will include adjustments be tween farmer borrowers and other mortgage creditors.
