Help support Heppner Business Men who help support Heppner. VOLUME 4. PROFITEER, PROFITEER; L WHO'S GOT THE PROFIT? Despite the war situation and the impending Liberty Loan drive politics in Oregon are beginning to bubble and boil. . Chief inter est centers in the Governorship and Senatorial fight. With five avo wed candidates and two more about ready to get into the scrap, the governorship offers sufficient variety to suit all tastes. How ever, general opinion seems to be that the fight is between Withy combe and Olcott. In the senatorial race the fight is between Stanfield and McNary with the betting getting pretty close on account of the populari ty of Stanfield and the fact that he is the only candidate for sen ator who is not a lawyer. Eighty per cent of the National Con gress are lawyers ;e very member of the Oregon delegation inWash ington is a lawyer and every can didate for the nomination is a lawyer excepting Stanfield. The further fact that the administra tion is calling for the services of practical business men is another argument in Stanfield's favor.for he is acknowledged to be one of the biggest, brainiest business men of the state and almost sure to be a winner. For some time it looked like wool was going to be the issue in the Senatorial campaign, but when it was shown beyond ques tion that the wool grower receiv ed only from 40 to 65 cents a pound for his wool, and the con sumers and knitters have to pay from 4.50 to $7 a pound for yarn, the charge of profiteering on the part of the wool growers fell flat. This put it up to man ufacturers and State Treasurer Kay rushed into print to show that the manufacturers were not profiteering. Who is the profit eer hasn't been decided as the question is still being persistently discussed in Portland papers, but they all agree that the wool grow er is the under dog because while expenses have gone up by leaps and bounds, the price remains stationary and he cannot sell his wool on account of the lack of transportation. He is being grad ually squeezed to the wall. Hats Off to Liberty School Liberty school district, out in the Eightmile country, is perhaps entitled to the blues ribbon in backing up tbe lied Cross with the real sinews of war. There are nnt many people in that dis trict but they all mean business it comes to winning tbe war'and they do not propose to try to do it by talk. At a basket social out thete last Saturday evening the sum of (200 wus reulized from the sule of buckets, and the amount was Kent into town Sunday and turned over to the I!ed Cross. 'Walter Gay was the auctioneer of the evening and lie seem to have been some salesman. A live auxiliary to the Morrow County Chapter has been orvan i.ed in that district and much work has been and is being done for the llvd Crux Mrs. Cbas. Huston is president of tbeauxili ary and 1r A. L Anderson is the secretary. If every community in tbe United States wuulJ "come thru" jiroportionatt ly according to pop ulation tbe R.d Cro.4 would be wamped beneath an avalanche fc'u- Mr. Fred Dder and Mr. Waldu Vincent returned from a vuit to Portland SaturJiy even- ln.

Kilkenny Backs Stanfield The following letter from John Kilkenny, Morrow county's well known sheepman.which was pub- ished in the latest issue of the Oregon Voter speaks for itself. It may be added, however, that Eastern Oregon is full of Stan field men of the same calibre as Mr. Kilkenny men who will back their judgment, their polit ical preference, their business in terests and their personal friend ships with good, hard cash: "Heppner.

Several cars, loaded with repre sentatives citizens of the differ ent towns and communities of the county, will accompany the speak ers on this trip. The schedule as arranged for at Sunday's meet ing follows: lone Saturday Evening, April 6, at 8. Eightmile Sunday afternoon at 2:30. Dry fork Sunday evening at 8. CecilMonday evening at 8 Pine City Tuesday evening at 8. Lena Wednesday evening at 8. Lexington Thursday evening at 8. Heppner-Saturday evening at8. Hardman S u n d a y afternoon at 3. The committee in charge of this campaign earnestly urge up on every citizen of the county the importance of attending these meetings and to urge all of their friends and neighbors to attend. It is necessary that every citizen who is financially able to do so shall get behind this campaign. Morrow county has given a good account of herself in all previous campaigns connected with war activities and she must not fall down this time. One hundred thousand American hoys are now on the battle line in France doing their part in the most stupendous conflict in history, and those at home must get squarely behind them, in the way of finance and the conservation of food. In no other way can they win. Local Executive Hoards and Committees for Morrow county: Heppner W. P. Mahoney, chairman; S. W. Spencer, E M. Shutt, C. A. Minor, W. 15. Par rat t. lone-II. M.

NUMBER 48 CHILDREN PLEASE o Perhaps the most unique and enjoyable. Faster program ever given in Heppner was that given at All Saints Episcopal church last Sunday evening by the mem bers of the Sunday school. The idea carried out in costumes and selections was that of a flower garden, every child in the school being dressed to represent some particular (lower. Aud flowers they all were sweet and win some buds and blossoms bring, ing with them the promise of Spring and the joyous message of Easter. The exercises opened with the Processional, "Hallelujah, Chrut is Risen," by the entire school, which was followed by a short verse from each member relat ing to the flower represented. Then followed: Song, Hark to the Robins," by the Flower Gar den, Mary Clark accompanist; recitation, "Welcome the Sav iour," Willetta Harratt; solo, "What Would You Have Done?" Lovell Lucas; song, "Swing, Lily Bells," by the Pollyannas; exer cise, "Jesus Lives," Flower Gar den; chorus. "The Voice of Many Natious;" a flag song by the Flower Garden; solo,' ThePalms," Josephine Woolery; song, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." Mar jorie Clark, Mild red Bosely.Mary Patterson, accompanist, Esther Neal; recitation, "Thru Death to Life," Mary VanVaetor; vocal solo. "Under the Snow," Dorothy Pattison, song, "Jesus Loves Me," by the school; the program closing with uu address by Rev. Ur Geo. P. Van Waters. Perhaps the most cunuing fea ture of the evening was the in fant class, a beautiful bevy of little lads aud lassies who consti tuted a veritable Mower garden on the steps leading to the pint, form and whuro they wero the "observed of all observers," and Paby Lucas, a tiny toddler who forsook his daddy for the bright lights and refused to bo omitted from tho program. The ladies of thu church, who planned and carried out tin) af fair, are entitled to much credit for their share in tho success, and to Miss Muriel Cason. who tunned the youngsters in their parts is due not. only high praise for work well done but also the tluuiks of all puicuu for the ex cellent training their progi ny r ceivecl at. her hands, iii tiiinging nut ami developing t he latent, tul. enlsof these bright joung minds.
