A TRAGEDY at New London, Texas, wrenched the hearts of the world this week. No mother who has felt the clinging arms of a, child, no father who has seen the hope of posterity reflected in the smiling eyes of his own son or daughter, but felt some of the pangs of stark sorrow which overwhelmed parents of the 400-odd children blasted into eternity without least warning by the explosion which vis ited the New London school a few minutes before closing time last Fri day afternoon. Words may not be found at such a time to bring solace to the bereaved. But ministrations of a sympathetic humanity may in time help heal the wounds. A vagary of March: Snow, sun shine and blowing dust. All seen at one time on Main street this week. Thirty-six uniformed youngsters held the center of attention on Main street Saturday. They appeared as a first product of spring, blossoming forth, as it were, in bright colors and beautiful sounds, reflecting arrival of life and vivacity to the world af ter slumber through a cold winter. Like the flowers and birds, they came, the Heppner school band, in their first public appearance of the season. And comes Easter, Sunday. More blossoming forth of the spring-time, but a week old. There will be bright ly colored bunny eggs, and to be sure, lilies emblematic of the day. But Easter opens the spring style parade for milady, as fact of first importance to hubby or daddy.

(Contributed) A great amount of practice is( necessary to become a good judge of cattle and there is no way to get this practice but by actual judging work. Whenever the young calf club mem ber has the opportunity he must size up stock and decide which of a group he considers the best dairy or beef type. Plans are being made to renovate the county fair barn and put it in better shape for the 4-H exhibits this fall. This type of showing is growing fast in popularity in our county and everyone should back up the efforts of the young members and their leaders. It is required in the 4-H calf club work that the boy or girl members own their own calf. This gives them the opportunity for ownership. Boys and girls who own something learn to be self-reliant, thrifty and have a regard for the property of others. It is said that most criminals nev er owned anything in childhood. lunch was served by the hostess. Mr. and Mrs. George Gillis were visitors.

S7 J7 X fs- ZvQ'y Y'OU'D never dream that fast freight service meant greater saving or newer styles, would you? That it really affected your home or pocketbook ? Or that Union Pacific's gigantic "Challenger" freight locomo tives saved you money? Yes, that's what fast freight service means to you, and this is why it happened: We wanted to offer the American shipper faster, more precise freight service, the kind you expect from crack passenger flyers. We started out by buying fifty high-speed modern locomotives for main line service in 1928. Then we spent long months of experiment to set even higher standards. The result a new type of super-powerful freight locomotive, the "Challenger," designed to handle heavy train loads at a speed of sixty miles an hour. Fifteen of these huge leviathans are now in service. Twenty-five more are being built. These great "Challengers" enable us to maintain a speed which is 33 greater than it was in V)lV and reduced the time between Council Bluffs and Ogden the great transcontinental speedway to less than half oi the former running time. But more than that (and this is where you come in), fast schedules mean reduced inventories, lower stocks and replacements for stores and shops . . . enable shop keepers to pass along this saving to you, in lower prices, because quick turnovers cut down costs and losses. So today, when you do your shopping, buy a new suit or agown straight from a New York fashion designer, or even a tin of beans . . . your pocketbook will tell you the happy results of Union Pacific's policy of constantly planning for the future. Union Pacific always looks ahead! tHrESSIVE) tom i hohtmuss. . r waouianaAin I" l . i ,- i jsj ft. i .1 ' V f mi V I V I II L.... 1 RAILROAD Give G. T. Want Ads a trial. Mrs. Frank Parker.
