MORAL SQUAD.
Following the lead" of our sister
city, Heppner, a few of our most se
lect citizens have banded themselves
together into a Moral Squad to look
after t'.ie various enterprises and
fine Lions of our noble city. "Chief
among their self-imposed duties will
be," says one of tb?m, Uncle Dave
Porter, "to help "Dad" Pointer, to the
very best of their several capacities,
in his great work of seeing that other
people act decent."
Present at the charter meeting
were "Uncle" Dave Porter, "Dad"
Pointer, Riley Munkers, Col. C. C.
Boone (he of Civil War, home guard
fame), John Moyer, "Dead Ear" John
Helms, "Pap Hayseed" McAlister and
several other lesser lights too numer
ous to mention. Uncle Dave opened
the meeting with a plea for the
Squad's headquarters to be the stairs
leading to his rooms. Dad Pointer
protested strongly, ailing for the use
of the reading rooms back of the
bank. But upon interviewine our
Leading banker, he held up his hands
in horror, crying aloud as is his
won't, "What! have you men meet
daily and Sunday back there this
summer? No Sir, nothing doine.
there is enough warm air comine from
that room without having such a bunch
oi Deauties as you all using what cool
air does creep in."
So finally after much argumenta
tion, intermingled with several hair
raising speeches, Porter carried the
day and the stairway is the official
meeting place. (Sorry we haven't a
red bench such as the Squad in Hepp
ner boasts.)
Then followed the election of offi
cers. After four useless ballots,
uaa i.. a. fointer naa elected rresi-
aeni ana cnairman by all but one
vote. John Helms drew that one and
"Hayseed" McAlister swears he saw
him write his own name, so that be
ing the case, "Dad" also voted for
himself. Never thought that of you
"Dad". 1
The Squad seems to be making a
poor Moral start, one peeks and two I
vote crooked, but perhaps they will I
get to going good soon. Following
me election or Chairman, "Dave i
Pointer was made Clerk with the j
added duties of reporting the full ac
counts of the meetings to the papers,
so we are sure to get the news
straight.
Much wraneline arose over the Re- 1
lection of a Treasurer. Rilev Mun- i
kers wanted the job mighty bad, but '
couldn't land it because he could not
show a proper place to keep ALL
monies of the Squad, which would

he answered to the roll call vote,
"Present." That delayed the vote and
