What the World
War Cost
Tins are all aware of the futility of
" war the needless cost of life
and property and the enormous ex
penditure of money for munitions,
and supplies. For, after all is said
and done, what did the World war
avail the nations participating? What
objectives -were gained? The world
has never become adjusted since
and now the major portion of Eu
rope is once more engaged in :
death struggle. For what, may we
ask.
If selfishness and greed could be
eliminated from the conduct of na
tions and the welfare of the people
of the world given first considera
tion, it might be possible to use
some of the wasted dollars in the
establishment of permanent peace.
In a recent statement, Dr. Nicho
las Murray Butler estimates that the
warring nations spent 400 billion
dollars in the last war, and submits
some interesting facts about the
wholesome comforts of life which
that expenditure would have bought
for humanity.
"We could have built a $2500
house, furnished with $1000 worth
of furniture, placed in the middle
of five acres of land worth $100 an
acre, and given this estate outright
to every family in the United tates,
Canada, Australia, England, Wales,
Ireland, Scotland, France, Belgium,
Germany and Russia. We could
have given to each city of 20,000
inhabitants or over in each country
named, a $5,000,000 library and a
$10,000,000 university. Out of what
was left we could have set aside a
sum of five per cent that would
provide $1000 a year salary for an
army of 120,000 nurses and another
army of 125,000 teachers."
This country is making an effort
to maintain neutrality in the present
struggle in Europe. If there are cer
tain interests who would like to in
volve us they should ponder what
Dr. Butler has submitted in the way
of figures.

"Pecos County Trial" Assembly
An unusual, but interesting, imi
tation of the gun law in Pecos coun
ty was produced by the FFA boys
on Friday, Feb. 16. Bruce Lindsey
was acting judge with Francis Bai
lev the defense attorney,, and Willie
Stone as the prosecuting attorney.
James Kenny, dressed as a girl,
was accused and convicted of wear
ing a bathing suit that was much
too long. The skit ended with the
sheriffs cutting off part of the
bathing suit which had formerly
reached to the ankles.
The prisoner was sentenced to
sing "Lilacs in the Rain" and "Faith
ful Forever."
Modes of the Day
Wool dresses were very much in
evidence, the most attractive being
those worn by the Wilson sisters.
Shirley Wilson wore a green wool
dress trimmed with rust buttons.
The waist was tucked all around
to give it the wasp waist appear
ance. Dorotha Wilson wore a rose two
piece dress with contrasting blue
around the scallops of the blouse
and a blue belt.
Howard Wray made the fashions
with harmonizing green pants and
gaberdine shirt.
Merle Burkenbine and Richard
Hayes are wearing deep wine-colored
corduroy jackets.
Last but not least was Mr. Peavy
in a new grey-striped suit with a
fitted back.
Band Performs at Games
During the half of the champion
ship Heppner-Arlington game last
Friday 32 members of the Heppner
school band and nine drum majors
and majorettes performed a very
colorful drill on the basketball floor.
The band gave a very professional
appearance due to the intensive
practice they had gotten during
band periods and the previous week.
The band also put on their drill
during the half of the Irrigon
Heppner game at Hermiston.
