ARMISTiGE DAY WAS
HH1NGLY OBSERVED
EX-SEUVICE HI EX HOXOK DATE
WAR CLOSED
Football Game, Wrestling Mntrli, and
Grand Bull Feature the Day's
Entertainment
Heppner Post American Legion
celebrated Armistice Day last Thurs
day with considerable vim and vigor.
Ex-service men from all parts of
the county were in town and as every
business house remained closed all
day with the exception of the pas
times and drug stores, there was not
much to do but celebrate in one way
or another.
A lively football game between the
Fossil and Heppner high schools was
the first afternoon feature. The game
was played at the depot grounds and
resulted in a sweeping victory for the
Heppner team.
The score was 19 to 0.
Following the football game a
wrestling match was pulled off at the
Star theater between Nels Jepson and
one Percy White, who was sent here
from Portland to take the place of
one Joe Costello, alleged middle
weight champion of the Atlantic coast
who was advertised to meet Jepson
here on that. date. What happened
to Joseph is not known, but what hap
pened to Percy was rather painfully
evident. Percy looked 20 pounds
heavier than his antagonist, and
he must have been, for when he laid
down on the mat and relaxed it was
about all Jep could do to roll him
over. Just the same,, however, the
Canadian got a fall to his credit at
the end of 37 minutes, and 27 min
utes later he registered another,
which ended the match and the ago
ny. It seemed to be the general opin
ion that Percy was either a Joke or a
quitter, and In either case he made
no particular hit with the Hennner
sports.
The really big event of the day was
the grand ball at the pavilion in the
evening, which was attended by a
record-breaking crowd. Splendid mu
sic was provided and all who love to
dance were well entertained until the
wee ima' hows of the morning.

XOW IXDEH WAY
Local liotly, by Unanimous Vote, De
cides to Cooperate With
Others
The Farm Bureau, a little known
organization in this section of the
country two or three years ago. is
now heralded as the biggest farmers
organization in the United Sta i
numerically, the heat organized, as a
going business concern, the livest
bunch of boosters ever yet, Jaw 1
loose, from the plow handles and put
to work planning better busine
methods for farmers and stockmen
nnd also,, perhaps, with the sfronj-e
financial backing of any organization
ever yet brought together for the pur
pose of putting the business of the
production of cereals, meals, leather
and other commodities necessary to
the comfort and continued existence
of the human race, on a business .-.-sis
at least equal to that of the big
concerns who take over the products
of the farmers and stockmen at prices
fixed to suit the buyer and then pass
these products along to the consumer,
which class also includes the farmer
and stockman, and dispose of them
at prices fixed to suit the seller.
While the foregoing is not a ver
batim report of an address given by
Chester H. Gray at a Farm Bureau
meeting held in this city last Friday,
the ideas: expressed were gathered
while listening to that address.
The meeting was called for the
purpose of formulating plans for the
coming year's work, and also to de
cide the important question of the
county organization of this county
affiliating with the state and nation
al organizations.
The meeting was called to order at
10:30 a. m., and the forenoon was
devoted to discussing plans and proj
ects for the coming year. After a
full and free discussion of the ques
tions Involved it was decided to con
tinue the program of the present
year. Officers and commfttee chair
men were therefore elected as fol
lows: President, Oscar Kelthley.
Vice-President, Ed Ileltman.
Secretary-Treasurer, E. M. Hulden.
'Fhe following committee chairmen
were chosen:
Wheat variety, S. L. Stevens.
Cooperative marketing, It. W. Tur

place the yearly membership fee at
$5.00. Of this fee fifty cents will go
to the state bureau and fifty cents to
the national organization.
With reference to the expenditure
of county funds to be collected under
the new law recently passed for the
destruction of predatory av..ma-.s ana
rodents, it was recommended to the
county court that such portion of the
fund to be used for rodent control
shall be expended entirely in the pur
chase of styrchnlne.
At the afternoon session F. L. Bal
lard of the O. A. C. extension depart
ment, and assistant state leader for
eastern Oregon, gave an address on
"The Activities and Sphere of the
County Bureau." Mr. .Mallard's ad
dress was largely a recital of what
the county bureaus have accomplish
ed since being organized, and also
brought out the point that the county
unit Is the foundation and backbpne
of the entire structure.
Following Mr. Ballard,. Mr. Chester
H. Gray, of Nevada, Missouri, spoke
at considerable length on the worTi
and scope of the National Farm Bu
reau. Mr. Gray Is president of the
state bureau of Missouri and also an
officer In the national organization.
Mr. Gray's address was, perhaps,
the most logical, the most business
like talk ever delivered before a gath
ering of farmers in Morrow county,
and his recital of some of the activ
ities of the national bureau was no
doubt something of a revelation to
most of 1 hone present. Speaking of
the cooperative marketing of wheal,
Mr. Gray did not criticize nor ron
d.'inn lb method now in vogue under
which the wheat crop Is mostly dimm
ed on the market within a few wci-kn
tiiue at prices fixed by the specula
tors In the big wheat centers and In
the w lii at exchanges. There nnixt be
mum sort of an organization for han
dling the crop, the speaker mid. and

relation to farmers and their prob
lems. Another Important committee now
at work and guided by the best talent
available In the country, Is the com
mittee on cooperative marketing.
This committee will be ready to muko
a report about the first of the coming
year, and it is expected that with the
aid of the data gathered and concrete
facts firmly established the commit
tee will be able to go before congress
and secure an amendment to the Fed
eral Banking law that will make
mandatory the proper financing of
agricultural and livestock productiv
ity.' Legislation will bo asked under
which federal reserve banks and (heir
members mny accept warehouse re
ceipts as collateral on loans to the
extent of 80 per cent of the farmer's
crop placed In the warehouse.
Attention is also being given to
marketing of wool, and, according to
the speaker, things of considerable
Import to the farmer and stockman
may be expected to come up at the
next aessloii of congress.
Why, asked Mr. Gray, can Mr.
Goitiprrs for labor. Judge Gary for
tin r.tcel trust, or any other Well or
ganized big concern, get what they
sk for from the government? He-
cni.se, he answered, they have the
data to prove their rlalmir and the
talent tc pto'erly present their f.icts
to the right peopl. , and w hen the
farmers go to the government cijually
well armed they will also get what
they want.

Materials
of Malt and Hops Restricted
Under Law
Washington, D. C. The internal
revenue bureau,, informal statements
today confirmed, reports that a cru
sade against home-brewing of alco
holic beverages is planned by the gov
ernment's prohibition enforcement
agencies-.
The bureau does not reveal, how
ever, the means it proposed to emplov
in tho campaign, nor admit that it
had approved preliminary instruc
tions issued by Prohibition Commis
sioner Kramer, directing that sales of
malt and hops be restricted to bakers
and conl't dinners.
"If malt extract, hops, Isinglassr,
gelatine or oilier materials are sold
or ndvertised for sale for use in the
unlawful manufacture of intoxicating
liquor," r.'id a statement issued today
by Commissioner Williams of the In
ternal revenue bureau, "it Is the pur
pose of the bureau to prosecute per
sons so offending.
"The so-called home-brew beer
manufactured in the home for bever
age purposes,, even though for the
sole use of the family and bona fide
guests, is, under the bureau's con
struction oi the law, illegal and the
sale of materials for such manufac
ture likewise is illegal."
The statement of the federal prohi
bition director of Onto that ho had
received Instructions from Mr. Kra
mer to prevent sales of malt and hops
except to bakers and confectioners
has not been denied by the Internal
revenue bureau, although it Is under
stood that Commissioner Williams
has not yet approved these specific
orders.
There was nn nppnrent difference
of opinion between officials of the
bureau of Internal revenue and Com
missioner Kramer's stuff of advisers
as to the powers granted under the
Volstead art with respect to prohib
iting tho sale of arllrles employed
tho manufacture of beer nt home.
Commissioner Williams conferred
with aides familiar with the art and
this was followed by numerous other
conferences In the bureau.
Officials of the prohibition unit
declined lo discuss any phase of lb"
question. Assistant Coininihstoner
