Valuable Instruction for
. Teachers
(Communicated)
The Morrow County teachers met
at institute for the first time in two
years at the school house Wednes
day morning, October 15. Pract'ca!
ly all the teachers in the county who
were able to be present were, there
and the attendance was good
throughout the institute.
Attorney S. E. Notson, form
er county superintendent, delivered
t. .ndress nf welcome which war
ighly appreciated. In his ad-

the war is oveu we must not yield to
the inclination to relax and cease our
efforts, but bear in mind that very
important work for us who stayed at
home is still to be performed.
Following Mr, Notson's address, a
ffaort period was given to general
singing under the inspiring leader
ship of MrsT Noyes. Mrs. Noyes con
ducted the singing throughout the
institute and these song periods were
among the most pleasanat ones ot
the program.
The teachers were very fortunate
in having State Superintendent Chur
chilwith them on Wednesday and
during his talks he gave many help
ful suggestions, useful advice and
a very thorough explanation of new
courses of study for the high schools
and grammar grades of this state.
One of the great aims of our new
educational system will be to abol
ish illiteracy in America. The
state board of education are doing
everything in their power to give all
children equal educational advant
ages and this'board most certainly
deserves the support of the legislat
ors and citizens of Oregon. The pas
sage of the Smith-Lownard bill will
be a great benefit to the child and the
voters of Oregon should see that this
bill Is put through.
Another speaker whose sessions
were very -much enjoyed was Prof
Frederick Berehtold of the O. A. C
nt Corrallis.
Wednesday afternoon Prof. Bendi-
told gave a very interesting talk on
"Vocational English." He explained
that a knowledge of good English i
necessary in all walks of life, and
t 'Id of the work as organized at the
Oregon agricultural college.
Wednesday evening the teacher?
f f Heppner gave a delightful recep

ACTUAL, ONE-POVND APPLES
Is Morrow county a fruit section?
is a question often asked by pros
pective settlers and .sometimes ans
wered in the negative by people who
should know better. If ybu don't
believe this just take a squint at
some of Henry Gay's fruit grown on
his Rhea creek ranch. Mr. Gay re
membered the Herald family with a
box of Black Twig apples the other
day that would be haid to beat In any
country. They weighed a pound
each, are smooth as a maiden's cheeif
and the coloring is perfect.
Mr. Gjiy snowed some fine fruit at
the fair and as a matter of fact that
Rlhea creek section is hard to beat in
any line from wheat to strawberries.
IXJLHED I. RUNAWAY
Max Smith got tangled up with a
runaway team at the Miner & Mat
lock ranch last Wednesday and came
out of the mixup somewhat the worse
for the encounter. Mr. Smith was
driving through th ranch when a
sudden jolt threw him forward ou
the doubletrees which he says was
the last he rememberes until they
were washing the blood from his
face at the creek. W. T. Matloek
who was nearby saw the accident.
When Mr. Smith fell between the
horses they started to run, the vagon
tongue dropped and Smith was
thrown into the air, alighting on a
brush heap which probably saved him
frcm more serious injury. He was
unconscious for some time but was
not dangerously injured.
BROUGHT HOME A BRIDE
Elra W. (Mug) Hayes, well known
Heppner boy, who had been In the
TJ. S. navy for a couple of years and
recently discharged, arrived from
San Bernardino, California, Friday
bringing with him a charming bride
Mrs. Hayes' mother and sister, Mrs.
Warren and Miss Rooney Warren, ac
companied the happy couple to Hepp
ner. Mr. Hayes served on the old
battleship Oregon and was also for a
while in Siberian waters. He says
Heppner looks mighty good to him
even though yet partly in ruins.
BOARD-MAN EDUCATOR'HERE
Prof. M. B. Signs, superintendent of
the Bcardman schools, was a visitor
In Heppner last week in attendance
at the teachers' institute.
Pi of. Sigus took cha' ge of the
woi It at Boaidman at the beglnninc
of the present term and he seems to
he highly pleaded with his location
and occupation. The si'aool is in i
flourishing condition although bcint
now badly crowded for room Mini
of the classes being quartered in the
church. This condition will soon be
overcome, however, as two 80-foot
wings are being added to the
bnilding""whlch will give ample room
for present needs. Prof. Signs ex
pects tiie new units or the building
will be completed by the first of the
year when the school authorities plan
to dedicate the'new building with a
three-day celebration during which
Interesting exercises will be featured.
Many new settlers have been com
ing to the Roardman project during
the past summer. Prof. Signs says,
and the future of that progressive
community Is very promising".

K1SH FROM SNAKE RIVER
"Do you like sturgeon?" asked G.
Swaggart as he stepped into the
Herald office the other day and
dropped a good sized package on the
editorial mahogany. "If you do take
this chunk home and try it," he con
tinued, "it was caught in Snake
river and the v.iole fish weighed 80
pounds; some minnow."
Mr. Swaggart received the fish
from 'his brother-in-law, Carl Miller,
who is manager of a warehouse at
Robinett, over in Baker county. Mr.
Miller goes fishing once in awhile and
from the catches he makes he picks
out the small ones to send to
friends. Freight rates would be too
high to send the big ones. Sturgeon
are caught in the Snake river weigh
ing several hundred pounds.

ty Purchase
Fred Iteiks of Irrlgon, and H. P.
Murkley of Boardman, who, with
County Agent Hunt, went to the
Willamette valley to secure good
dairy cattle have purchased 32 head
of 'high grade milk producers and 17
head of registered cattle.
These were secured at the public
auction sales held last week at the
Sanguinett farm near Hubbard, the
N. H. Smith farm near Oregon City,
the Sam Weiss and B. C. Altman's
farms near Gresham. At these sales
154 choice offerings were shown and
the boys hud a good chance for selec
tion. At the B. C. Altmnn herd which
was generally recognized as the most
even herd of cattle offered for sale
during the season, 16 progeny of one
sire brought an average price of
over $300 per head, and when it
is stated that this bull is not yet
four years old the real . significance
of the statement may be reached.
The boys thought so well of him as .
a proven sire Chat they Immediately
proceeded to tie him up and are
bringing this wonderful breeder to
Morrow county as a souvenir. He
weighs nearly 1400 pounds and Is
some bull. They suy, currying the
