s' VOLUME 6 HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 1920. NUMBER 44 J SALVATION ARMY GETS CO. ADVISORY BOARD FIELD REPRESENTATIVE OF THE ' ARMY ORGANIZES COUNTY A PRACTICAL WAY TO SAVE Dozen Representative Citizens Vnite to Help Worthy Organization in Welfare Work Chas. E. Wildish, field representa tive of the' Salvation Army, spent a few days in Heppner last week in the interest of that most worthy organi zation. - . . Mr. Wildish was sent out from Chicago a short time ago to assist in organizing advisory boards in every county in Oregon, with a view to ex tending the philanthropic work the Army has been carrying on through out the world for many years. The present organization campaign has for its object the broadening of the work of the Army, the object be ing to extend its humanitarian work into every nook and corner of the United States. The Army is neither a sectarian nor a political organization and its object includes no taint of personal aggrandizement nor financial reward for its officers and . wor'kers. The work of the Army covers the widest possible field in an endeavor to help those who most need help. The advisory board of each county is requested to investigate and make confidential reports on a wide range of subjects including poverty as re lated to the old and Infirm, infants and small children; the unemployed, with reference only to dependent cases; juvenile delinquencies; miss ing persons, with every possible ef fort to locate such and restore them to their families, with particular ref erence to boys and girls who go to the cities to seek employment and who ate in need of the shelter and protec tion of the maternity homes provided for such cases by the Army. Prison work, pauperism, children's homes and the needs of soldiers and sailors either in the serv'ce or those who have beca recently discharged, bIso receive the careful attention of the Army. Americanization of aliens and oth ers who need assistance along the line of development into I'lrti-class Am erican citizens also comes within the scone of the Army. Mr. Wildish called a meeting of citizens at the council chamber on T'misuay afternoon, when en crjttvnl- zntion was cllect.ed and ih" Morrow County Advirory Hoard was oipiini. ed with the following members: S. E. Not son, chairman; V. I'. Ma rion' y, vice chairman; C. 10. Wood ton, secretary; Rain Hughes, Thomas Hughei, S. A. Pattlson, M. I). Clark, Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte. L. A. Hunt, U. J. Vauglian, J. A. Waters, E. R. Huston, W. T. Campbell. The board will hold another meet ing before March fith when a confi dential report on conditions In Mor row County covering such subjects at seem to pertain to thin county will be sent to the Portland headquarters of the Army. RIGHT-OWllLE Shoe dealers, whom many of us are Inclined to look upon as the last word in profiteers, with their $20 high-heel-high-top product, may not be ts bad as we have been thinking they are. !'Do you want to lower the price of shoes? If you do dig your old shoes out of the closet and have them re paired instead of buying new ones." This is the advice of A. H. Gent inger, president of the National Re tail Shoe Dealers association,, who says that some 13,000,000 may be saved annually in this country by getting your old shoes mended. This will reduce factory orders, conserve leather and give the manufacturer a chance to catch up. Not a bad idea. "Before and After" in the Near East .YE KILLS ORCHARD TREE -MOSS Joan J. Kelly was in town Monday from the Thompson ranch on lower Butter creek where he is lambing a band of 2200 ewes. He says the weather isine down that way and he is having fine success. The ewes are being fed alfalfa hay with a corn and oat ration and the lambs are doing well. I f"s:. :.s5j"f rf t$ K ft. 3feS$ 'BEFORE.' "AFTER." Lye, a pound can, dssolved in six or seven gallons of water or lime sulfur spray used for scale, will rid orchard trees of moss and lichens to very great advantage. Western Ore gon orchards not sprayed with such sprays as lime-sulfur and bordeaux, develop a coating of these unsightly growths, says W. A. Smart, O. A. C. crop pest assistant. His investiga tions show that while most fungicidal sprays kill these growths, lye seems to c:UHe a quicker breaking up and weathering away. It must be applied before the winter buda begin to open to avoid injury to the tender leaves. I THE JOHN DAY PROJECT IRRIGATION DINNER TO BE GIVEN THURSDAY EVENING NEW SCHOOL BLD'G.

From rn'seryto comfort and self-respect in five days time, simply through the magic of an American ten dollar bill, is a transformation that Is being wrought daily in Western Asia by the Near F.ast Relief of 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. The group of five Armenian children shown in two pictures here have reason to bless the American donor of that ten dollar hill. With this money, the e:;pert workers of Near East Relief in Armenia were aide to rid the poor children of their loathesome rags and to clothe them with new garments of alaju cloth, woven In a Near East Relief Industrial plant nnd sewed Into garments by the mother of the children. The mother was also paid a small fee for her services In making the garments. Tliis was a lucky fumily. There, are thousands of others not so lucky In the Near East, simply because of lack of other ten dollar hills. xt.,.. i'm.-i Pnii,f u nsk-lncr the American people to contribute funds to gave the starving In the Bible lands.
