Let's Think Twice
TTCONOMICS has been stressed
fi throughout the nation the last
few years. That is always the case
when man's efforts toward making a
livelihood appear to bear little fruit.
And as plans of the technologian
and planned economists apparently
go awry, a befuddled public wonders
if the business structure is not fall
ing, and if, indeed, each must rely
upon his own ingenuity for gaining
the necessities and mayhap, the few
luxuries that he feels he should have
from the world.
Such a condition may today ac
count for much of the apparent at
titude of, "Well, I'll get mine, let the
other fellow do the same." It may be
that this condition is responsible for
the large volume of trade that goes
to outside points, oftentimes without
value equal to that which could be
had at home and surely sending dol
lars away that might assist in paying
local taxes, building a more attract
ive local community and withal
helping provide security for the
friends, neighbors and loved ones at
home.
It is an old story that the dollar
sent away seldom returns. Wherever
it goes it pays a dealer's profit that
in turn assists in building the com
munity in which that dealer resides.
And if at times there appears to be
an immediate saving to the purchas
er, still many times the element of
value the factor arrived at through
comparison of price and quality
is disappointing when the dollar is
sent blindly away.
At home there are good stores,
carrying in many instances as wide
variety of merchandise as may be
found elsewhere. The goods may be
inspected before purchase, and the
guarantee of friendship of the local
merchant is behind each article, who
willingly and gladly makes good any
unintentional misrepresentations. If
that were not so the merchant would
not continue in business, and con
tinue to be the purchaser's friend.
For any community to progress
there must be a cooperative spirit.
The town exists as an economic nec
essity to the country neighbors just
as much as the town depends upon
those neighbors for its existence. The
interests of all are interlocked. One
may not ignore the welfare of the
other without injuring the common
welfare. These are but truisms, long
tried in the fire of human existence.
And their consideration can lead to
but one conclusion:
Let's think twice before sending
the dollars away from home.
In New York this week a man
stood on a narrow ledge of a build
ing 17 stories above the sidewalk.
He stood there for ten hours before
finally jumping off to his doom,
missing by a few inches a net that
had been spread to catch him and
prevent his self destruction. That
man was probably a super egotist
who thought that by injecting the
suspense element into the act of
suicide he could more greatly im
press the world by bis leaving. He
may have been right about the im
pressiveness, but we'll take our
drama at the movies.
Comes word from the local cream
ery that more cows are needed in
Morrow county. The local market is
suffering a dearth of sweet cream,
Heppner
what with Heppner's dairy supply
ing the CCC camp. Time was when
the dairy turned its excess supply
of sweet cream to the creamery, but
now it calls on the creamery to fill
an over demand, and that at a time
when the creamery itself is hard put
to meet the demand of customers
for butter and ice cream. Sometimes
it's work to take care of cows, but
many local farmers have found the
work profitable.
Why You Should
Be a Lion
Lions International is a non-profit
service organization of approximate
ly 2800 Lions clubs in the United
States, Canada, Mexico, China, Cuba,
Panama, Costa Rica and Colombia.
Lions clubs are non-political and
non-sectarian, and are composed of
the leading business and professional
men in the cities where clubs are
located.
The purpose of a Lions club is to
furnish organized leadership for
community development and to stim
ulate social and business relation
ships between the community's lead
ing business and professional men,
for the betterment of the commun
ity, state and nation.
The Lions club secures prestige,
character, identity and strength by
being part of a large international
association.
One who is not a member of such
a club not only misses the fellow
ship, service and patriotism which
cause the membership of a club to
act as a unit for the benefit of all,
but he brands himself as being to
tally indifferent to the forward
movements that go to make a great
country.
To belong to a Lions club broad
ens acquaintances, makes friends,
develops friendship and produces
good-fellowship. Meeting your fel
low members at luncheon, shaking
hands with them, joining in the
singing, helps to lighten your per
sonal burdens by making you real
ize you are not bearing them alone.
The individual member of the
Lions club gets many things from
his membership in .the organization.
He gets through his association with
leading men of his community and
connection of his club with Inter
national, a prestige which multiplies
many times his standing and influ
ence wherever he makes himself
known as a Lion.
He gets active training in working
with groups of men and women for
the interests of the community,
which fits him for leadership. He
gets training in public speaking.
His contacts with leaders in the
community open up avenues of real
improvement which he might never
otherwise find. He becomes known
to the public as a man of achieve
ment. He grows year after year, in
mental, moral and financial stature,
through constant companionship
with others in his club and in the
association, and constant practice
in planning and administering for
the community. Each day he grows
bigger, broader, better for being a
member of Lions International.
The name Lions was not selected
at random for our club. It symbol
izes courage, strength, activity, and
fidelity. The lion had been a sym
bol for fidelity throughout the ages
and among all peoples. It means
loyalty to a person, loyalty to prin
ciples, loyalty to a duty, and loyalty
to a trust.
Mr. Townsman, can you afford
to fail to identify yourself with
these ideals and purposes?

Is 1020 Sacks Record
Day's Harvest for
20-Foot Combine?
Did or did not Vernor Troed
son's harvesting crew set up a new
record in Morrow county when
it turned out 1020 sacks of wheat
on the Fourth of July?
That Troedson's crew made this
output with one 20-foot cut com
bine, working customary hours
without idea of breaking any rec
ords has been vouchsafed by mem
bers of the crew including Kem
per. Snow, who 'helped sew the
sacks.
Aside from being a "swell" way
to celebrate the country's natal
day, the opinion has been ex
pressed that this is a record out
put for a machine of the capacity.
Now, the world would like to know
who can or has beat it.
The story first came to this pa
per as a rumor and was not then
published. But sufficient verifica
tion comes through Walter Eu
banks grain broker; Carl Allyn,
lone barber, and other that the feat
of Troedson's crew needs telling,
and whether or not it is the larg
est day's cut for a like outfit, it is
a mighty big day's take of golden
grain. '
NYA Workers Will
Repair Library Books
400 volumes that have become
worn in the hands of the reading
public will be repaired by workers
on a National Youth administration
work project assigned to the Hepp
ner Public Library association, it
was announced today by Ivan G.
Munro, Oregon NYA director. Mrs.
Lucy Rodgers, a member of the li
brary board, will superintend the
project, and work will be directly
under the supervision of Madge
Thomson who has been closely con
nected with the library for the past
six years.
Two young girls between the ages
of 18 and 25 years have been as
signed to the project, Mr. Munro
stated. Besides mending books, the
youthful workers will assist in any
way possible to extend the service
of the library to the public.
The NYA head 'further remarked
that the Youth administration now
had many work projects established
in libraries throughout the state,
and that this type of work is very
much in line with the policy of the
NYA to help employees develop
skills which will benefit them in the
future. The youthful workers are
assigned whenever possible to pro
jects which will not only develop
individual abilities, but will afford
the youth an opportunity to acquire
working habits and knowledges that
will improve his chances of obtain
ing future private employment.

CRESTED WHEAT GRASS HARVEST
EXPECTED GOOD; PRICE NOW 25 CENTS
. By Joseph Belanger,
County Agent
Although wheat harvest is well
under way several men in Morrow
county are taking time out to har-.
vest crested wheatgrass seed. The
price for crested wheatgrass for this
year has been pretty definitely set
at 25 cents per pound. With seed at
this price a man can economically
harvest crested wheatgrass seed on
fields yielding not more than fifteen
or twenty pounds of seed per acre.
The latest type of recleaning equip
ment has been installed at Condon
and most of the Morrow county
growers are planning to truck their
seed from the combine to Condon
for cleaning. Cleaning equipment has
been developed now to the point
where it is possible to clean crested
wheatgrass seed to 95 per cent pur
ity and to eliminate all tarweed and
cheat grass. In fact, weed seeds are
reduced to a very small fraction of
one per cent. This clean seed is so
much easier to run through a drill
and, therefore, so much more econ
omical to use that buyers of crested
wheatgrass will be insisting upon
seed of at least comparable quality.
Due to the low acreage yields most
of the seed harvested in this county
this year will be harvested with
combines. One of the handicaps in
harvesting crested wheatgrass is the

uneveness at which the seed ripens.
One cannot leave the seed until the
straw is dry or the seed will all have
shattered. A fairly good thumb rule
is to start harvesting as soon as any
seed begins to shatter. At this time
some of the heads will still be green
but to delay harvest will lose more
seed by shattering than will be
gained by waiting. Since some of the
heads in the sack will still be green
it is important that operators watch
out for heating. If there is any ten
dency for the seed to heat it should,
be spread out on a tight floor to dry.
Ordinarily, few adjustments to a
combine will be necessary outside
of shutting off the wind. In some
cases it may be advisable to reduce
the speed of the cylinder. In ad
justing the wind it may be desirable
not to shut off all of the air from the
shoe fan but it is rather important
to shut off all of the wind from the
recleaning fan. Ordinarily, it is a
good idea to have the grain screen
pretty well loaded most of the time.
There will be a considerable
amount of crested wheatgrass seeded
in Morrow county this fall and it
may be possible to sell locally all of
the seed harvested in this county.
There is a considerable demand for
the seed from out of the state and it
is "expected the 1938 crop will be
pretty well cleaned up before winter.
