Returning past Mo sier they witnessed the forest fire In progress, burning in the tree crowns at the time. Smoke and cinders made visibility poor on the highway. Ed F. Shea, a director of Lions International, was in the city Tu esday on business in. connection with his position as representative of a coal company. He recently re turned from the International con vention of Lions clubs held at Mex ico City, and reports the event as being quite successful. Grant Olden was transacting bus iness in ' town Tuesday from the Rhea creek farm. He harvested a good hay crop this season, but the wheat turned out poorly. Some farmers of his section harvested 14 and 15 bushels, which he believed to be a fair crop for this season. Harry "Mose" Jones and sister, Mrs. Stella Bailey, arrived in the city Monday evening on business in connection with Morrow county land holdings of the estate of their mother, the late Mrs. Margaret Jones. While here they enjoyed a visit with many old-time friends. Roy Quackenbush, lookout on Arbuckle mountain, gained relief long enough to visit town Tuesday. He and Mrs. Quackenbush are nice ly located at the lookout station, and their register contains the names of many folks who have vis ited there during the season. Bobbie Robinson and Walter Eu banks were in the city Tuesday from lone, Bobbie coming up from his home at Portland to look after matters in connection with the es tate of his father, the late F. H. Robinson. Miss Melba Jones, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. LeRoy Jones of Mon tesano, Wash., arrived Sunday eve ning for a visit at the home of her grandmother, Mrs. Cora D. Craw ford, and with other Heppner rela tives. Jos. J. Nys departed for Rock away last Thursday to join his fam ily for a short vacation period be fore returning home with them. Mrs. Nys and the children had spent some time there previously. Jesse Tinsley sustained a frac tured rib this week while sewing sacks at the Tilman Hogue farm in Eight Mile, causing a forced lay-off from his work and a sojourn in town whjle he recuperates. The W. C. McCarty family is en joying a vacation at the coast, be ing accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. P. A. Anderson of Portland. Purebred Lincoln rams for sale. Big heavy wool producers.

Clarence N. BIddle, Lexington. 25p. TODAY and I A few years ago old Mr. Hubbard sold the place. I drove by the other day and saw an auction sale going on. The new owners were being "sold up" to satisfy their creditors, and the savings bank had foreclosed the mortgage on the land. "Guess they just ain't good farm ers," , said Mr. Hubbard, when I stopped by his cottage down the road to ask him how come. I dropped in at the bank. "No char acter," waa the banker's harsh judg ment. "Thought they could make a living without working and spend money before they earned it Do you know any real farmer who'd like to get a good place cheap? There's a bargain for a man and wife with character and a little capital. It's no place, though, for movie-hounds, joyriders or people that want short hours and long va cations." I have a notion that a lot of the distress among farmers, that we hear so much about, comes down to that la FRANK PARKER 15VC HL ST0XBRIP6Ek$7 yF Flying . . . safe and cheap An airplane flew low over Indian Mountain, just west of my farm, last Sunday, and landed in Joe Springstroop's cow-pasture. No, it wasn't a crash. Nobody was hurt. It was just a couple of boys experi menting with a home-made plane, powered with a Ford engine. They hope to get a Government contract for cheap, safe planes. Two other young inventors have just brought out small "foolproof" planes, that can be sold for $700 or $800. One of them made 110 miles an hour In a test flight Experts say nobody could crash either of those planes If he tried. Safe, cheap flying is almost here. I think it promises to be as big an Industry as automobiles. Half the adventurous boys I know are going in for flying. When everyone takes to the air what changes it will make In our ways of living and thinking! Lemons . . . and war Next to lemon pie my family likes lemonade on hot Summer evenings. A two-quart pitcher of lemonade doesn't last us very long. The other day my wife came home from the store indignant. "I had to pay fifty cents for a dozen little lemons!" she said. "Last week they were only 30 cents. Tom Fal lon says the wholesalers have boost ed the price to him nearly double." I asked a friend in the citrus fruit trade about It, next day. "It's the war In Africa," he said. "Italy has bought up all the Euro pean lemon crops and is bidding for California lemons. They need 'em for their soldiers, to keep them from getting scurvy." "War," said my wife, when I told her that, "is what General Sherman said It was. No more lemon pie until Mussolini and the Ethiopians get through fighting." War anywhere certainly touches everybody somewhere. Farmers . . sans character For a hundred years and more the old Hubbard farm, up near Long Pond, has supported, educated and made good citizens out of genera tion after generation of Hubbards. I get reports from the Middle West of a revival of activity In farm land sales. Good farms in Nebraska have recently sold for from $100 to $150 an acre. One SOUth Dakntn frmr rlonrl mrltu me that he has been offered $150 an acre for his quarter section. An Iowa farmer whom I know tells me that he refused $60,000 cash for hl 600 acres recently. Those Drices do not nnmtinrA with the speculative prices at which simi lar farm land changed hands in the boom days. They probably repre sent more nearly tne actual value of the land, in terms of earning capacity in the hands of comnctpnt farmers. A Kreat deal of the farm distress has come from buviner land at fannv or speculative prices. Speculation is speculation I have never been ahlA in mp much difference between speculat ing in land and speculating in stocks. The man who bought Iowa farm land for $500 an acre, as I saw manv buvine it during th Wip paying a quarter down and giving a mortgage lor tne balance, was headine for trouble lust a surelv as the city speculator who bought Radio or any other stock at the peak of the market, on a 20 percent margin. The SDeculative hnver at farm land has one advantage. It takes longer to foreclose the mortgage on a farm than it does to close out a stock-broker's customer, and in the meantime there is always the chance that a bnevolent govern ment will come to the farmer's aid. I have not heard of anybody offering to help the small specula- 'ufrtef of JHnAASTlR EXECUTIVE" Suppiymf wrk K-wr impirtbao for the acrrr- krltfi who wM and i trial paralleled tntm i Mm Nobody Kowi. Farms selling again Wiclif and Tyndale So the Bible passed into Latin and finally into English. There had been partial translations from the Latin from the time of the Vener able Bede and King Alfred, but the name of the great English pioneer translator is John Wiclif, who lived from 1324 to 1384. As a translation his work was of secondary value, for he, too, used the Latin and not the original tongues, but he put the Bible into the hands of the reading public of England, which was small but po tent, and made it what it is today, the Book of the common people. One hundred and fifty years after Wiclif came William Tyndale, who undertook a translation of the New Testament from the original Greek. People were horror-stricken by the Impiety of the idea. He had to flee to Hamburg, and never again set foot on his native shore. Against fierce opposition he continued his work. Printing had been invented, and Tyndale determined to "make every plow-boy in England know the New Testament" His book, printed by Caxton, had to be smug gled into England and was read by stealth. With such asinine drivel as the following, written by the pious Friar Buckingham, its circu lation waa obstructed: "Where Scriptures saith, 'No man that layeth his hand to the plow and looketh back is fit for the king dom of God'; will not the plowman when he readeth these word be apt forthwith to cease from his plow, and then where will be the sowing and the harvest? Likewise, also whereas, the baker readeth, 'A lit tle leaven leaveneth the whole lump,' will he not be forthwith too sparing in the use of leaven, to the great injury of our health? And so also when the simple man reads the words, 'if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee,' Incontinent he will pluck out his eyes, and so the whole realm will be full of blind men, to the great decay of the nation and the mani fest loss of the king's grace. And thus by reading of the holy Scrip tures will the whole realm come into confusion." Tyndale himself was treacherous ly dealt with and arrested, and lay for eighteen months in Antwerp for no crime other than that of giv ing to the people a truer version of the Scriptures. On October 6, 1536, he was strangled and his body was burned. Thus have Christian folk welcomed the better and more ac curate translations of the Book which teaches kindness, tolerance, forbearance and the open mind and thus do they still denounce those men of learning. King James I of England and Vl of Scotland saw that he could not prevent the reading of the Bible by the people, and he determined to get credit for what his scholars told him was much needed, a reliable translation into good English, for all the previous versions had been made under conditions that ren dered exact scholarly treatment im possible.

There is no tedious period of breaking-in for 500 or 1000 miles. You can drive it up to 50 miles an hour the first day. And after the first hundred miles you can drive it as fast as you desire. That means greater motoring enjoyment for every motorist. It is especially important to motorists who are thinking about a new car for a vacation trip to physicians, salesmen and all those who use a car for business. In stead of dragging along at slow speeds for days, you can make good time from the start. The reason for this is as important as the result. The Ford V-8 needs no breaking-in because of unusual accuracy in the manufac ture of moving parts and the smoothness of bearing surfaces. Clearances are correct when you buy the car. It is not necessary to depend on a long wearing-in period to eliminate tight ness and insure smooth running. Longer life, greater economy and better performance are bound to result from such precision methods. The Ford V-8 gives you fine-car construction, along with fine -car performance, comfort, safety and beauty. Resolutions of Condolence.
