Trade at home and we keep both the goods and the money. ; - THE BIG HOLLER Once a certain Genius who thought that the Moon was inhabited ; proposed ' that at a certain, moment on a certain night every man, woman and child on earth should holler just as loud as pos sible, so that the Man in the Moon might hear the sound and know that he had neighbors.': ....., J ' Everybody said it was a Fine Idea. ; Everybody agreed to holler with a big H. For a month in advance every body practiced lung exercises, so as to cultivate the Biggest Holler possible. Everybody was sure that the Moon - Man couldn't help but hear the Vast Volume of Vociferation. . The Eventful Night arrived. The Moon Man was looking down through a cloudless sky. 'Every on earth drew in two large lungfuls of air and got ready for the Big Holler; The Mighty Mo ment came at last!!! feilence! Absolute silence! It was the silentest moment since the morn ing stars first sang together. When the returns came in it was known that only one man, a negro in Darkest Africa, hollered, and woman in Oshkosh, Wis., who was so excited that she just couldn't help it, let out a i aint hysterical shriek. " ' . Everybody else had kept mum in wder to hear the Big Holler that all the others were going to make." ; But nobody made the holler because they all waited for the other fellows to r -v nnl iw! 'iiii THE LEXINGTON do it all except iHe? African," vhV hadi no curiosity, and the Oshkosh lady, who had hosieries. V And the Man tn the Moon just laughed! - It was enough to make a comet splutter, for ,it revealed a very amus ing trait in human nature. You will find lots of people right here in this community who refuse to join in the Big Holler because they want to get the full benefit of the holler when the other people make it. Sometimes by making a Big Holler all at once we might get a ne,w factory lo cated here, but when 999 men stand around, each waiting for all the others to do the hollering, and only one man hollers, the man looking for a" factory site doesn't hear any sound. . If it takes a Big Holler to get what we want, every fellow must lend a lung. This is not a funny story." It is full of philosophy. It ought to set you thinking. : ' Moral Now's the time for the Big Holler. x . The Lexington Wheatfield displayed considerable patriotism by coming out in . national colors' in its last weeks issue. It also contained half tone cuts of a number of business houses and residences and thereby showed some enterprise as well as patriotism. The only thing it was lacking in was local news. Heppner Times. , If Heppner was no larger than Lex ington the Times might not have many more locals than The Wheatfield gets. The size of a town sometimes makes a difference.
