CONVEHTIO
Rob-rt N. Stanfield's speech at the
Annual meeting of the Oregon Wool
growers' Association, which was held
in Pendleton last week, has attracted
much attention Mr. Stanfield is
president of the Association and is
one of the most widely informed men
in the sheep business. The first poin;.
he made in his speech was to the ef
fect that the organization would soon
breap up if the members did not take
a more active interest in the business.
At the present time there is much that
the Association can do and should do,
but it is imperative that the wool
growers stand as a unit, nothing can
be accomplished without organiza
tion. The second point he made was that
the past year had been a prosperous
one because the European war had ad
vanced the price of wool to a point
which made up for the loss incurred
by the Democratic Congress putting
wool and mutton on the free list.
The third point developed dealt
with the maintaining of the high
standard of the breeding of sheep, as
every state in the Northwest looked
to Oregon for the upbuilding of their
flocks. He pointed out that the wool
crop had decreased from 15 to 20 per
cent in the last two years and a like
decrease in the flocks.
About 100 wo'.lgrowers were pres
ent, and among the number were the
following from this section: D. 0.
Justus, W. B. Barratt, W. W. Cryder,
E. 0. Neill, R. F. Wigglesworth, D.
Jlynd, Paul Webb, John Kilkenny and

IN BEHALF OF THE HEPPNER
PUBLIC SCHOOL.
The Heppner School District has a
School Board, a Principal, Mr. II. H.
Hoffman, and a corps of teachers that
ought to know enough to manage and
instruct the pupils who are committed
to their care. My wife and I think
that they are capable of doing it. It
is to be regretted that there is a small
party of half-smart fools which are
pushing themselves into the affairs of
the school; taking the part of the
pupils and discrediting the school
faculty and doing everything that they
can to disorganize the school, instead
of trying to help the faculty in mak
ing it a better school. They with
their talk have instilled in the pupils
disobedience towards their teachers
and Principal until the majority of
them have no respect for them and
little for their parents.
I send my children to school to learn
to be obedient as well as to learn the
three "R's" in life I know that the
teachers of today are too lenient with
their pupils; give them too many liber
ties in the school room, until the
teacher and the school is a joke to
them. They get in the habit of talk
ing back to the teachers; argue with
them who are afraid to correct them
at the start, as they should be be
cause it is considered by these above
mentioned people to be cruel and in
humanitarian to chastize children, to
make therrf know that their orders are
law and if not obeyed at once, the
rod will be applied good and hard, and
so they will understand and that they
will pay the penalty for their dis
obedience. The idea of sparing the rod, send
ing them out in the cloak room, keep
ing them after school, is all good and
right in theory but not good in prac
tice. I have noticed that children
brought up at home on it don't turn
out very good. You start in to break
a colt and let him have his own way
and you will have a very balky horse,
Schools must have order and to have
order or laws means thatsome boys
and girls need to have the rod applied
to them good and hard. I am 53
years old and in my life I have never
known it to spoil a boy or girl yet;
but it gave them a good conception of
what wag right and they generally had
respect for their touchers and parents
and the laws of their country.
These people who have such darling
boys and (firls, bp precious that they
'can't stand to whip thorn or to have
,them whipped at school, for they are
' so good at home, always so meek,
jare the ones which as soon as they
! get around the cornel pelt every dog
and cat that crosses their path and
every boy who is smaller than they

Frank Wyner was given his free
dom last Friday after spending nine
days in the county jail charged with
stealing the team he had rented from
Dan Rice. Some time ago Wyner
rented Rice's team and agreed to pay
him $40 per month for the use of
them. There was no restriction as
to where he could go and it seems
as if he had made a few monthly pay
ments as he agreed. Wyner says
that a few weeks ago business was
bad around here, so he decided to go
down in thew estern part of the state
and see how conditions were there.
He left the team with a' painter at
Albany to care for while he went to
Portland.
Rice on not hearing anything from
Wyner concluded that he must have
made way with his team and swore
out a warrant for his arrest. The
sheriff telegraphed to Portland where
Wyner was found and brought back
to Heppner. Mr. Rice went to Albany
and brought the team back. Wynei
was given his freedom because there
was nots ufficient evidence to show
that he tried to sell the team or make
way with them.
DEPUTIES SELECTED

The editors made a little trip down ball season. Two good teams will be
in the north part of the county last ' developed. They will soon be ready
Friday. We stopped first in Lex
ington and noted that Wm. Leach was
finishing that large addition to his
store and also found that worthy
gentleman in the Artisan Hall get
ting ready for the show to be given I
that night. We went over to see
Frank Burgoyne who is getting ready
to build a large addition to his store
in which he will keep builders' hard
ware and his farm implements.
Banker Scott was figuring out his
stamp tax when we happened in and
incidentally told us that he occasional
ly sells a Ford.
Going out of Lexington toward lone
we found the roads filled in many
places with water, it having rained a
day or so previous. As we were go
ing up the canyon leading to Paul
Reitman's ranch, we met a man with
a load of chickens going to the Egg
City. Arriving at Paul's ranch we
noted that he is putting in some good
fence along the road leading to the
house. We found him at work for
his wife in the house, but Paul took
our coming as an excuse to quit work.
We expect to say a great deal more
about Paul in the near future.
At lone the streets were muddy as
a result of the recent rains. The first
thing that we distinctly recollect was
"348" hitting the new gravel crossing
in front of Bender's store. We drop
ped in to see our friend Titus, who
we understand has put the kibosh on
the mail order bu&ness in his line.
Titus reports "business fine1' and has
a neat little pile of presents laid away
for Christmas gifts. Bert Mason too
a few minutes off to tellu s that he
had nothing in particular to complain
about. Bert will soon have a store in
lone that would be a credit to any
town in the near future,
Willard Herren has been selected
by Sheriff-elect McDuffee as his
deputy. Willard is a well known
Heppner man and will make a good
man for the position. County Clerk
elect J. A. Waters has chosen a Mr.
Anderson, of Vancouver, Wash., as his
deputy. Mr. Anderson is well equip
ped for this work and will undoubted
ly prove a good man for Deputy Clerk.
By the way we might mention that
he is a brother of the famous fighter
by that name and will see that order
is preserved in his department.
