HAY HACK PARTY AT
LEX KAXCH
IJEUAI
Cecil Lieuallen entertained about
25 young people of Heppner at a
dancing party last Saturday evening
at the Lieuallen home on Rhea creek.
The trip from town was made in
the good old-fashioned way with a
hay rack and four trusty steeds. Half
burled mid the sweet smelling alfalfa
with many warm robes and blankets,
the trip was made a most enjoyable
one, but was only a side Issue when
compared to the hospitality and en
entertalment offered the merry-makers
at the farm house.
From dominos and checkers to
singing, dancing, and last but not
least, eating, the party was a great
success in every sense of the word
and every one present declares they
could not have wished for more.

A CORItECTIOX
A news item which was printed in
the Herald of January 3rd which sta-
ted that James M. Forrest and Miss
Sophia Cox had been recently marri
ed, proves to have been untrue. The
item came to this office in a signed
letter from Monument and was taTce
in good faith and published. The
writer of the letter is guilty of a most
contemptible act and our advice is
that he should lose no time in gett
ing in touch with Mr. Forrest and
squaring the matter before other
stens are taken.

neps men in Cecil Tuesday. j
Ootheboys Hill, the home of J. E.
Crrhlree, was kept lively Tuesday
riu-ing the election of one of the di
rectors for the John Day Irrigation
district. We believe C. A. Minor was
th.' ruceessful party, but the whys
and wherefores of the mayor, his
deputy and constable John were so
mixed up with rabbit drives, drmgh
r.uts, coffee etc., that a rational re
pott of the meeting was impossible.
Charles Shurte and son made a
short stay in Cecil Friday on their
way from Arlington to their home in
the eounty seat.
Joseph Miller, who farmed some of
the hill land around Cecil for many
years, and left this vicinity a few
years ago, to take up his home with
his son B.C. Miller, at Grandview,
Wash., passed away December 27th,
at the age of 89 years. Sympathies
are extended to his bereaved relatives
Several fine lambs have arrived at

lambs at Poplar Grove, near Cecil.
The many friends of Russel Shaw,
nephew of Mrs. Jack Hynd, who spent
several years around Cecil, extend
their heartiest congratulations to him
on his recent marriage to Miss Zenda
D. Wilson, of Toronto, Canada. They
were married at St. Barnabus church
in Toronto.. May their pathways be
strewed with peace and plenty.
A new arrival made its appearance
at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Everett
it Logan, at Cecil. A fine bouncing boy
weighing ten pounas arnvea on Jan.
13ih. Dr. Walker, of lone' was in
attendance.
Pitiful tales of rabbit tails were
tofti by Cecil rabbits during the big
rabbit hunt between the shooting
fools, with Dwight Misner as captain
and the Go Get 'Em Hounds, with Dr.
Walker, of lone, as captain. The
moBt pathetic one was when mother
Bunnie was urging her numerous off
spring to beware of their tails and
make for home every time they
scented a Misner; for at all costs he
has Issued an order that every rab
bit he cants his eye on must lose Its
tail If not Its life. Bunnie also re
lated that "The Shooting Fools were
sure tail trimmers, if not shooters to
kill and continued to speak In terms
of kindness of the Go Get 'Em
Hounds, whose motto is, "A true
aim and sure death." She urged
her followers to stick to the old adage
"Of two evils, choose the least." And
we know she referred to the Go Get
'Em Hounds.
Five Weary Willies or Tired Tims,
we have not found out which, were
seen about ten miles from Cecil at
midnight on a certain night last week
pushing an Essex car along the high-
way and singine at tnnr tinniest
: pitch, "Wat' r, Water Everywhere
j Hut Not a limp to Drink." ami the,,
I for n HiaiK'i', "Roll the Old Chariot
Along." Their vocal cords gave out
just before reaching Cecil, so they
were al'owd to retire in pi-nee as
Ci-cil was peacefully slumbering at
the time.
W. P. Prophet, well known mer
chant, of Hardman, was in town a
couple of days during the week on
business.

RODENTS MUST HE CONTROLLED
Pursuant to authority given in
Chapter 127 of the 1919 Session
Laws, of the State of Oegon, the
Morrow County Court has instructed
the County Agent to serve notice to
parties owning, leasing, occupying,
possessing, or having charge of, or
dominion over, any land infested with
jack rabbits, that steps must be taken
immediately to exterminate the same
under the supervision of the County
Agent.
Procedure will be as follows:
1. Poison will be furnished free
as long as funds voted for that pur
pose are. available.
2. Each individual will be re
quired to provide proper bait treat,
put same out on lands he owns or
controls, which are infested with
rabbits. ,
3. Poison will be placed In the
hands of committeemen, in areas that
are infested, from whom it, can be
secured. It is also available at the
County Agents office.
4. Prepare poison bait as follows:
Dissolve one ounce of strychnine
sulphate in one gallon of boiling
water and sprinkle on 10 to 12
pounds of alfalfaleaves, last cutting
of alfalfa hay, or wheat, or rye heads,
or short headings. Stir the bat
constantly so that ail will become
thoroughly dampened,.
5. Put out in trails In the can
yons where the rabbits are congregat
ing while the sheep are off of the
range. When the sheep are on the
range the pens can be used. These
must be baited however before put
ting In the poison to get the rabbits
to feeding there, otherwise the pens
are absolutely valueless and the
poison put in these, practically wast
ed. 6. In wheat growing sections
the wheat headings are much more
effective than any other bait. Alfal
fa is best in alfalfa growing sections.
7. Poison put out by parties on
land which they own or control
need not endanger stock which will
later be pastured on that range pro
vided it Is scattered properly. Don't
pile It up. Put out a few straws or
heads in a place. If put In piles you
can take up what is left before stock
are turned out. The strychnine sul
fate is soluble In water and Is wash
ed off into the ground with the rains
that usually come about the time
the snow leaves, provided the bait
is not put in piles.

HUNT LOSERS BIT 11N'NKH
Capt. Chas. H. Latourell and his
company of doughty gunmen were
hosts at a dinner party at Hotel Pat
rick last Wednesday evening, their
guests being Capt. J. F. Cook and his
company of victorious marksmen,
who won the rabbit hunting contest
on the previous Sunday.
Forty covers were laid for the
sportsmen, the plan being that the
affair would be strictly a "stag" par
ty but much to the surprise of the
hunters, just before they were seated
in tiled about an equal number of
ladies, who, not being satisfied with
the arrangement, made by their hus
bands and brothers, had organized an
offensive of their own and ordered a
table for themselves as additional
guests of tjie hunters. Those pres
ent say the dinner was an excellent
one and that "a good time was nad
by all."
IRRIGON
Mr. Chas. Dempsey has purchased
the ten acre tract from W. H. Pierce
lying just norlh of his other acreage
and facing the River View Boulevard
south of the Glasgow ranch. This,
when improved as he has planned it,
will make a very attractive place.
The rabbit, drive Friday night.
turned out. to be almost a failure
account, of the rabbits not having
moved about, much. Only 17 of the
pests were found and killed oiftright.
However, the poison campaign is go
ing on merrily and results continue
very satisfactory. Not so many be
ing killed account of the rabbits not
being so thick and having to scatter
the bait over greater areas. Anoth
er big drive has been scheduled for
Sunday, January 15, south of the
Watkins' place. The plans call for all
to meet at Mrs. Watkin's place at
noon Sunday and get their Instruc
tions. A big feed has been arranged
for and invitations have been sent to
Umatilla and Boardman and Chas.
Powell, chairman of the rodent con
trol, expects to make this drive the
biggest success of the year and clean
out the pesls where poison cannot be
put out on account of stock and
sheep in this vicinify.
A very interesting game of basket
" ".in pi:iyeu Saturday evening in
Irrlgon's old school house by the Ir
rigon high school vs. Boardman high
school. In the first, half Irrigon slooil
7 to 5 but failed to score during the
second period, the game going to the
Boardman boys by n score of 7 In 11
The two teams were well matched!
with (he exception that the Hoard
man team was a little heavier.
The Farm Bureau held lis rerular
monthly meeting Saturday evening,
followed by a big dance and a good
crowd. Many of the Boardman
people who had come up to witness
the game, staid over for (lie dance
and much of the crowd was made up
from Umatilla and Hermiston. The
annual election of. the farm bureau
was held at this meeting and the fol

It does not pay to try to run votir
board bill at Irrigon. Mr. Leo J. Kal
ucba, who halls from no particular
place, found out these facts In short
order last Friday when he tiled to
arrange for room and board for a
week at the Irrigon Inn. Tills
gentleman who was reasonably well
dressed arrived at the Inn Thursday
noon and was assigned tohis mid day
meat, supper and bed for the night I

i do this and said he would go to the
store and book up the merchant and
get some change and would return
soon. He claimed to represent a
large wholesale house In Portland,
but forgot to return to settle his bill.
Mr. Hendricks later to'd his story to
the depot agent who located him at
the next station west and message
Inside of ten nilnuteB he was pulled
fiut of a box car on a west bound
freight train and taken to Hoard mnn
by Deputy Sheriff Harper. ThlB
