years, inclusive. This includes aliens as well as Ameri
cans. Japanese, Chinese, Italians, Germans, English,
Americans, and men of any other nationality who are
of the designated ages, must register. Aliens will not
be drafted for war duty, of course, but a complete
record of them is desired.
WHO IS EXEMPT
No male resident between the ages of 21 and 30,
inclusive, is exempt from registering. Those to be
exempted from military service, will be determined
later, but first all must register.

REGISTRATION OF ABSENTEES
If yon find you will be unavoidably absent from
your home precinct on War Census Day, you should
apply at the earliest possible date to the county clerk
of the county in which you may be at the time, w heth
er in Oregon or elsewhere, who will fill out your regis
tration card. He will then give you the card, which
you must mail to the registrar of your home precinct,
in care of the sheriff of your home county, in time to
reach the registrar by War Census Day. If you live
in Portland, or a city of over 30,000 population in an
other state, mail the card to the registrar in care of the
mayor. But remember, the burden of having your
card reach the registrar of your home precinct by War
Census Day is on you.
REGISTRATION OF THE SICK.

giving false, misleading or incorrect answers, Is im
prisonment. There is no alternative of a fine.
BIG EVENT JUNE 2
The Farmer's Union picnic
billed for tomorrow in Heppner,
will be of particular interest. In
addition to other features an
able debate on the road bond
question will be staged with able
speakers representing each side
of the controversy.
It is expected that C. E.
Spence, of the state Grange and
J. D. Brown, of the Farmer's
Union will be here to oppose the
bond issue and W. L. Thompson,
of the Highway commission, Roy
Ritner, of Pendleton, and James
Stewart, of Fossil, will defend
the measure.
The gathering bids fair to
eclipse any former occasion held
in the county and everybody is
invited to attend.-
Frank Habell's Body Recovered
The body of Frank Habelt, who
was killed in the train wreck
uear Morgan May 12. was dis
covered by Francis M. Broady,
last Saturday floating in Willow
creek not far below the scene of
the wreck. The body was taken
from the creek and brought to
Heppner where it was prepared
for shipment. The remains were
taken to Portland Sunday and
worn cremated Monday in ac
cordance, with instructions con
tained in will that his body bo
cremated and the ashes sent
back to his native towu in Aus
tria,
Deceased had lived hero many
years and was highly respected
for his many sterling qualities.
lie was a member of the local
lodge of Odd Fellows and that
organization has been active in
carrying out the provisions of
his will.
The weather continues cool
and moist and wheat and all
other field crops are making
phenomenal growth. While the
season is about one mor.th later
than normal, prospects for a
bumper crop were never more
promising.
A prominent grain man of
Lexington, made the statement
to the Herald a few days ago
that, barring severe hot winds
he believes Morrow county will
harvest the biggest crop of
wheat iu her history. The
farmers iu the south part of the
county, iu the foothill and mount
ain regions are rather hard hit
because of the continued rains
which, in many cases have pre
vented them from planting any
thing. All through the big
wheat disirh ts, however, condi
tions are excellent, and many
report wheat already "in the
boot." In the northern end of
the county, in the sand district,
conditions are said to be better
than ever boforo and, if present
conditions continue a crop that
will rank with the best produced
in the heavier soil farther south
will be harvested.
Bishop's Visit Deferred
Owing to the illness of the
At a meeting Wednesday the
committee in charge of the auto
pirade on Rod Cross Day ap
pointed committees in all parts
of the county to assist iu enlist
ing all auto owners in their dis
tricts to take part in the big par
ade on that ocaasiou. Practically
every auto owner iu Heppner
his agreed to take part in the
parade and many of the cars will
