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

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.
