HOISTU'l I Tl T.IST (OAII.Vt;
One of the most important indus
tries of Morrow county, or one that
could easily be made of great im
portance is its fruit. While in this
climate probably no one would wish
to specialize in this yet it seems of
considerably more importance than
it appaers to receive.
We' believe that every farmer
should have an orchard and surely if
you already have one you want to
take care of it. So many of our
farmers 'have called our attention to
the various diseases in their orch
ards that we have decided to try to
get an expert along this line to come
in and diagnose the situation.
We are glad therefore to announce
that, the Oregon Field Horticulturist
Mr. C. K. Schuster, will visit Morrow
county some time between the 14th
and 20lh of the month and we sliall
attempt to visit every orchard report
ing to us befoie that time. Now if
you have soein disease that is infect
ilng your trees and of the control of
which you are In doubt be sure to
drop us a line or leave word at the
office of the county agriculturist at
once so that we can make our plans
to cover all possible territory in the
least amount of lime.

THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER. OREGON
and eo were unable to carry on the
work, but through the untiring ef
forts of Mrs. Cohn and other mem
bers an emergency hospital was es
tablished In the parlors of the Feder
ated church and maintained for
about three months, October to De
cember 1918, inclusive. Two trained
nurses and various helpers were em
ployed and a large number of pa
tients treated, the expense to the
chapter amounting to probably
$1000.
During this time hundreds of
raiize masks were made, under the
direction of the chairman, and given
without charge to all applicants.
Only a few hundred dollars aside
from this were expended by the chap
ter for civilian relief, there being few
occasions for sudh aid. The chairman
of the civilian relief committee how
ever, wrote many letters in regard to
securing allotments for soldiers1
wives and in hurrying up delayed al
lotments. She personally called from
time to time on those whose allot
ments she knew had been delayed to
ascertain whether they were in any
immediate need. Clothing was sup
plied in a few such cases.
After both fires in Heppner, (June
and July, 1918) the committee of
civilian relief met to consider ways
of assistance. A small sum was
contributed on the first occasion to
one woman who had lost everything.
After the second fire the committee
met arid decided that as the local
chapter had suffered such heavy
losses, the relief fund should be rais
ed by public subscription. The com
mittee however, established head
quarters and secured food and lodg
ing for those who wero without
homes or shelter.
The committee had occasion to se
cure medical examination for one re
turned wounded soldier to enable
hint to obtain his pension. Thereafter
the chapter made and published a
ruling that free medical examination
would be provided in all such cases.
This being a quiet inland commu
nity there was neither occasion nor
opportunity for canteen, recruiting
and such services. That the organiza
tion had the respect and affection of
the men, however, Is illustrated by
the gift to the chapter of a five dol
lar war saving stamp by one group
of drafted men just before their de
parture.
The first war fund drive was con
ducted Juno 18-25, 1917. The coun
ty's quota was $10,000, but the
chairman of the drive, Mr. M.D.
Clark, splendidly succeeded In attain
ing an oversubscription to a total of
$1 5,022.18.
The second war fund drive was al
so conducted by Mr. Clark, May 20
27, 1918, $11,700.96 being subset ib-
ed.
The first Christmas roll call
(1917) was conducted by Mr. S. 10.
Van Vactor, chairman, with the re
sult that 2630 memberships were re
ceived, amounting to a total of
$2,736.00.
The second Christinas roll call
(1918) was conducted by Mr. C. 12.
Woodson, chairman, securing 1,836
members und $1,852.00.
The first collection of used clotfi-
Ing netted a very large amount of
desirable material, twelve boxes be
ing shipped containing 2.400 gar
ments and weighing 2,4 50 pounds.
The second collection, the record
of which was lost In (he fire July 4,
1918, was not so large as the first.
but still of considerable propoi lions,
and containing much desirable ma
terial.
The third collection of used cloth
ing netted five boxes weighing 1.E50
pounds.
The cliapler's- full quota of linen
fur France was filled. It consisted
of: 2ml bath towels, 4ml hand tow
els, 2 Ml handkerchiefs, 2a napkins,
105 sheets.
Two shipments of di-h Imvelw for
training camps wen also made, one
being sent to llenditi.it ti i m. one to

MORROW COUNTY COURT
IN BAD WITH tOJ. GEN'L
(Continued from Page One)
The ne.'-'t paragraph is worthy of
special note in view of what comes
later:
'There is enclosed 'herewith a list
of the counties who have appropriat
ed funds to date and the amounts
thereof."
"It is the opinion of the military
establishment that this work should
be continued by all means for reas
ons above enumerated, and this de
partment, if it is deemed advisable
by you, will be ,glad to turn Judge
Campbell over to the War Depart
ment, However, this may not be ne
cessary." The list of counties referred to in
tlhe second paragraph quoted as hav
ing already made appropriation for
tills work follows:
Hwiton $ 150
Clatsop 350
Clackamas , 100
Columbia 400
Douglas 700
Gilliam 300
Hood Uiver 400
I-ane 350
Linn 400
Lake 1700

MOltltOW 450
Polk 50
Sherman 350
Umatilla 400
Washington : 200
Wasco 475
Wheeler 250
Yamhill 175
With due respect to the adjutant
general his statements must be re
garded as a bit confusing. If, as
stated above, Morrow county has
already appropriated $450 for this
work why should this military mar
tinet anticipate such 'keen pleasXire
in the prospect of "turning Judge
Campbell over to the War Depart
ment '!"
If Morrow county lias made no
such appropriation why does the aii-

with pride) to the above figures in

Does the adjutant general expect,
when he "turns Judge Campbell over
to the War Department," that the of
ficials of that department will mere
ly depose him from the high office
of county judge of Morrow county or
will they have him shot at sunrise,
or banish him as a Bolshevik?
