When the af ternoon suns continue to broil, we know that sum mer is still with us. As the days grow shorter and shorter, we are awakened to the realization that the great orbit of life is about midway in its journey to Capricon. The routine of seasons takes its course and all life gradually adapts itself to its changes. Even in this greatest turmoil of all ages the seasons wield their power. The heat of the desert, the mon soons of the Indies, the fogs of the north, the snows of the steppes, play largely with man’s destiny. In the swiftly passing days the crops will be stored, and the leaves will begin to turn. Problems of another season will be facing a struggling nation, and the battling legions will be contending, not only with the enemy, but with the forces of changing seasons. Hermiston Auto Co.

Witness again the hundreds of tents, trailers and shacks beneath the spreading branches of the friendly locusts, which are doing service for the workers in a defense area, where man has not been able to provide better hous ing. These trees provide comforts that would re quire many shingles and boards, and expensive la bor. Many a wife, many day sleepers, many babies who have felt the cooling effects of shade and breeze in desert surroundings, should be thankful to this community and the pioneers who planted thou sands of seedlings here many years ago. • (07, 17 Dogs, dogs, and more dogs. There are enough dogs in this territory roundabout, mongrels of all de gree, not a real dog in a hundred, not less than four regiments of them within 20 miles, eating enough to feed many soldiers every day. Already they are preying on turkeys, calves, pigs and sheep, with dog tood going higher and dogs getting hungrier. While we admit that the dog is man’s greatest friend, and all of us love a good dog for his faithfulness and gen eral uses, like every other good thing, this can be overdone, and curs and vicious dogs, and packs of rambling breeds can become a public nuisance that cannot be condoned. There is a law, and owners are responsible. Unless something is done by the own ers of these pets, smart pups, barking hounds, so- called watch dogs and whatnots, the law will have to be invoked. ECHO NEWS ITEMS September 8 has been set by the local board for opening of school here this year, a week later than usual. Of last year’s teachers, only two will be on the staff this year, Mrs. Nancy Spike in high school and Mrs. Aro- lene Laird in the grades. M. E. I arive, from Haines, succeeds M. A. Parker as superintendent. The lat ter is now working for the aluminum corporation at Portland. Vacancies to be filled in the schools include a primary teacher, seventh and eighth grade teacher, and two in the high school. So far no coach has been secured. Ross Graham, who was under contract for that position, has been inducted into the army.
