Official Paper for Morrow County
War Brought Home
A MENDMENTS to the conscription
bill have been concurred in by
the house and senate and signed by
the president to become the law of
the land. All men between the ages
of 21 and 35 will be called upon to
register. Later names will be drawn
by lot from lists of eligible draftees.
No one knows who may be called
upon to serve.
For the past several weeks youths
have been leaving Morrow county
homes to enlist in various branches
of the service. And last week came
summons to the county's district at
torney to report to his national guard
company, the guards being slated
immediately for a year's regular
army duty.
The atmosphere is tensed by this
grim preparation for conflict, unde
clared. The tread of marching feet
makes imminent the sound of battle.
America is turning a grim visage
toward Europe. American destroyers
are flying the Union Jack where
once was flown the Stars and Stripes
American industry is keyed up to
supply the materials of war to assist
a sister democracy in staying the
blows of an enemy that has patently
displayed contempt for rights of oth
er nations. Now America is mobiliz
ing its manpower. For what, other
than to go all way in a determination
that the last frontier between Eu
rope and America shall not fall?
The issue today is not political,
though it may have political ramifi
cations. No one who loves America
wants war. May the boys now leav
ing, or yet to leave Morrow county,
be spared its horrors. Still, the de
termination exists that Britain shall
not fall, leaving the Americas prey
to the forces who are determined to
remake the world, whether it be by
armed invasion or economic repara
tions. The hope is that America is arm
ing in time; that it will offer so for
midable an objective that enemies
will not dare move against it. That,
undoubtedly, is the way our leaders
are thinking. Similarity of conditions
with those prevailing before Uncle
Sam's entry into the World war in
1917 need not be alarming if this
prove true. It is for all now to up
hold the strong arm of America.

Do you realize the amount of new
Heppner
equipment that has ben added to our
school during the vacation?
In view of the fact that new equip
ment is being continually added to
facilitate our learning, I believe that
most of us realize the intent of the
responsibilithy that should be con
sidered ours, in the use and care
of this new equipment.
Besides the new equipment there
has been a great deal of time and
labor expended in our behalf to im
prove the appearance of our school.
Namely, remodeled library, rest
rooms, and shop. The floors have
been redone and many of the walls
repainted. The girls' dressing room
has been redone and greatly im
proved. With all of these additional im
provements, it should be a simple
matter for us students to help main
tain the greatly improved appear
ance of our school by refraining from
running and sliding on the floors,
marking the rest room and hall
walls, leaving gym suits, socks, and
shoes lying in the dressing room,
leaving waste paper in the desks, on
the floors, and in the halls, keeping
the library books out of place, and
in general keeping our school unat
tractive. We mav be certain that the fac
ulty will cooperate fully in all these 1

Friday night the freshmen met at
Gilliam & Bisbee's. They were dress

dles. From Main street they were tak
