HEPPNER
BOYS USE ii LIFE
The following interesting let
ter written by Jim Daley, who
went toAmerican Lake two weeks
ago, to his friend, James Sheri
dan, gives a good description of
life at the training camp as he
sees it:
"Dear Jim: Just a few lines
to let you know I am getting along
line. I reckon I am again a soldier
as I have passed allexaminations,
been vaccinated against small
pox and inoculated against ty
phoid. I couldn't expect any
thing better than they are here
only that the climate is rather
damp, We sure were a sur
prised bunch rather expected
we would be treated like dogs
but instead of that we are treat
ed better than I ever was in my
life. We sure have a fine bunch
of officers. I dont have to work
very hard and the grub is good
and plenty of it. We get oil
every evening at 4:30, at noon
Wednesday and are off from noon
Saturday until Monday morning.
Nooe of us will lose anything by
coming here if we don't get
killed. This drill is sure fine
and we have all kinds of amuse
ments to pass the time. The only
thing hard to get is chicken but
they fix our grub so fine that we
don't even miss the chicken
' much. We have a big dance to
night and I'm going. Jim, if I
could leave the army on condi
tion to herd sheep I believe I
would stay in the army. All of
us Morrow county boys are to
gether and our motto is, "Mor
row county against the world."
John Calmus comes down to see
us every night and he is trying
to get transferred to our battal
lion. I belong to the machine
gun battallion. We don't carry
rifles, just pistols and short
swords. Some of the other reg
iments call us the "suicide divis
ion" but we should worry. If it
U dangerous I would just as
soon die quick as any other way.
If I am to get killed I'll get kill
ed any way. Best wishes to all
of you."
Last Thursday Mr. Herbert C.
Hoover, National Food Adminis
trator, requested Mr. W. B
Ayer, Food Administrator for
Oregon, to call a conference of
representatives from the differ
ent counties of Oregon and Wash
ington to meet in Portland the
Monday following. The call was
sent out by telegraph, and al
though the time was very short,
two-thirds of the counties were
represented. Morrow county
was represented by Mr. and Mrs.
C. W. Shurte and. S. E. Notson
The latter was appointed county
chairman for Morrow county.
Three of Mr. Hoover's personal
representatives were present at
the conference and presented
the plan of campaign lor food
conservation. The American
people, as Mr. Gerard says, are
not yet aware of the fact that we
are at war with the most formid
able military power of the earth.
We must wakevp. Mr. Hoover
says, "Food will win the war."
Of course, it is not food alone,
but with the finest, largest, and
best trained armies, thoroughly
equipped with every kind of in
strument known to modern war
fare, we are powerless unless we
can keep the men fed. We must
also save the people behind the
armies. Seventy millions of men
have been withdrawn from pro
ductive industry by the war.
The greater part of the burden
of feeding the world will fall up
on the American people.
We are a wasteful people. Mr.
Hoover says that it is possible
for the peoole to save an average
of two cents per person on each
meal. If that can be done, it
means a saving of six million
dollars a day, which in the aggre.
gate amounts to two billion dol
lars in one year. The figures
aie staggering. Not only is it
our duty to try to save that two
cents per meal, but it is also our
duty to economize in the use of
the great staple foods which the
armies of America and her allies
must have. By substitution, we
must save wheat, meats, fats,
and sugars, It does not mean
that our people need to fast or
go hungry. We may reach the
stage of rationing the people be
fore the war is over, but that
time ha not yet come. Some of
us, no doubt, might bu better off
if we ate less or missed a meal
enclosed and P, is expected the nce in a while, but that is not
building will be ready for oceu the plan. The substituting of
pancy early in November. The meal for Hour in part inny
second floor is being fitted up

Heppner and Morrow county
citizens did themselves proud
Tuesday evening when they gatli
ered at the Palace Hotel and ten
dered a reception and banquet
to a quota of 16 vtUant soldier
boys on the eve of their depar
ture for the training camp at
American Lake. The recently
remodeled Palace was gay with
flags and bunting and the ease
and freedom shown in handling
the big crowd proved the value
of a modernly arranged hotel of
the first class as an asset in the
social life of a town like Heppner.
Manager Wilkins was the recipi
ent of many congratulations on
the attractiveness of his hotel as
well as on the great success of
the occasion.
Covers were laid for IlTj per
sons in the big dining room but
as the crowd filed in it was found
necessary to increase that num
ber to 150 and even then it was
impossible to accommodate all
who wanted seats. The spread
was all that could be desired in
quality and abundance and only
words of praise for the manage
ment and cuisine wi re heard.
All of the soldier boys and
their wives and parents, as well
as several soldier and sailor la l
who are hero on furlough, wi re
guests of the committee in
charge and of Ihe hotel mHtiagt
meul and nothing was left un
done to show them honor.
Mayor Notson acted as tons!-
master for the evening and in
his usual happy vein introduced
the speakers. Rev. Father
O'Rourke was the first speaker
and in eloquent words In; pointed
f red than thai of the martyred I. in
coin. 'That n nation cannot live half

IBTHEB SAVES CHILD
FROM DEATH III III
(From Our Hariimnn Corrrouonderit)
Mr. and Mrs Lawrence Red
ding, of Eightmile, who lost
their barn by fire last week, seem
to be havinc more than thpir
hare of trouble lately. While
Mrs. Redding and children were
siting at Roy Brown's place
last Sunday the children were
playing in the yard and Lena
lodding, 10 years old, fell into
an open well which was hidden
by the (all woods. Cries from
the other children brought the
women from the house and Mrs.
Redding reached the well as the
hild came to the surface the
second time and despite the fact
that the well is 17 feet deep,
with 10 feet of water, the moth
er climbed down the intervening
leven feet on the wall of the
well and grasped the child as she
was about to sink for the Inst
time and drew nor to safety. It
was a heroic aci and one difficult
of accomplishment and shows
the sterling stufT of which Ore
gon mothers are made.
Arthur Crawford, editor uf the
Gazette-Times, left Tuesday
morning for Oakland, California,
where he goes to join Mrs. Craw
ford who has been visiting her
parents in that city for several
weeks.
W. E. Moore, of Ho7.eu.iiui, Mon
tana, arrived in Heppner a few
lays ago to take a position as
issistant cashier in thu First
National I Sunk. Mr. Moore has
had extensive experience in the
banking business and comes to
First National with the highest
recommendations.

The Herald man visited the
bustling town of Hardman last
Saturday as a passenger on
Creed Owens' auto stage and
found the trip one well worth
making.
No country on earth can ofl'er
more delightful climatic condi
tions than does Morrow county
at this season of the year. After
the first fall rains have settled
the dust problem, cleared the air
of smoke and haze and put an
indescribably invigorating quali
ty into the atmosphere, a 20
mile drive under Morrow's sap
phire slics and o'er her greening
hills makes one glad that he is
alive, a resilient of this favored
land and that a good, substantial
dinner awaits him at the end of
the route.
Creed Owen is a good auto
driver but where he shines is as
a lightning change artist in case
of a blowout. On the return trip
BANC went a front tire, making
a report like an old fashioned 4,r.
Owen pulled olf the road, took oil'
the crippled tire, put on a patch
as big- as a hot cake, replaced
the tire, pumped it up and wan
going again in just 11 minutes
and ot) seconds.
Hardman is a lively little town
of about 100 people with three
general stores, a good hotel, a
well stocked hardware store, a
modern garage, an up-to-date
drug store, a blacksmith shop,
a modern Hour null of .10-bb ca
pacity, and a graded and high
school which is the pride of ev
ery resident of that section of
the county. IVofensor I'ehr is;
the principal and he is ably nn
sisted in the work by three oth
er capable teachers. 'I he school
has an ciirnlluient of nearly 100.
I'at rons of I he school oraise tin1
work of the present corps of
teachers and claim that Hani
man ha;; the best school of any
tow n of its size in the stale. The
high school will graduate a class
ol six next .lime. The class has
been organized with the follow
ing (illici is: Naomi Wayland,
president; P.eryl Prophet, vice
president ; Pearl Ward, secreta
ry; liva iMellonald, treasurer.
A student body lias also been
organized olhec'cd as follows:
Hertha Hays, president ; Kva Mc
