Made No Mistake
The Last Drive
Who knows of a man that has a
folding bed in his home in this
town ? Well, it doesn’t matter, only
if you knew this story would be all
the funnier. Late one night recent
ly one of our local carpenters was
awakened by the violent ringing of
his telephone, and in giving the con
versation that ensued between him
self and the Utile lady on the other
end of the wire we will have to use
fictitious names , in accordance with
our promise to the carpenter to have
him appear incognito in this joke:
“Is that you Mr. Johnson,” asked
the small voice of a little girl. “This
is Amy Jones. Mother wants you to
come around right away and bring
your tools. Father has met with an
accident.”
"You have made a mistake, Amy,”
replied the carpenter on hearing the
word "accident.” ‘‘You want the
doctor.”
"You are the man we want. Mr.
Johnson,” insisted the childish voice.
"Father is shut up in the folding
bed.”
The coming Victory Liberty Loan
will be the last. One more big job
to pay for the victory, or immediate
demands of victory, and Liberty
Loans will be history. There must
be no lagging by the American peo-
pie in the drive that will come in
April, It will not be a time for ex-
cuses. The same spirit that char-
acterized the last hour of fighting
before the armistice went into effect
should be shown by the stay-at-home
people for whom the Yanks fought
in France.
The Yanks didn’t shirk that last
job. Many gave their lives with
peace a matter of minutes away.
Every American at home worth the
victory won by those boys in khaki
will work as hard in the coming
lean as in the first.

There was a large attendance at
the dairymen’s meeting held in this
city Wednesday evening, and the
outcome was that stçps were taken
looking to the establishment of a
¡cooperative creamery in Hermiston
at an early date.
The committee
appointed to look after the details
in connection with this proposition
consists of J. H. Reid, Henery Som-
merer, W. F. Hamman, Wm Bensel
and George A. Cressy.
There was spirited discussions on
many points that have to do with
the interests of the local dairymen,
and this resulted in the formulation
and passage of the following resolu
tion; Resolved, that it is the sense
of the dairymen of the project that
the local merchants owe protection
to the dairy farmers to the extent
that they decline to handle any of
the butter substitutes in a way to
compete with dairy products.
Another resolution that passed
unanimously was one commending
the bill now before the Oregon leg
islature which has for its purpose
the placing of a tax on butter substi
tutes and licensing of manufacturers
and dealers in these substitutes.
Secretary Phipps was instructed to
write to the Eastern Oregon repre
sentatives and senators at Salem to
help all they can in an endeavor to
secure its passage.
Before closing the meeting q com
mittee was appointed for each school
district in the project to conduct an
educational campaign among the
children concerning the value of
dairy products as a food. The com
mittee consists of Ed. Bensel, Mrs.
W. Hineline and Rev. M. R. Gallher.
