IF YOU WANT THE NEWS WHILE IT IS NEWS, KfcAD THE HERALD. WE PRINT IT FIRST. , VOLUME IX HEPPXER, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 14, 1922 - NUMBER 29 ABE FORD SEDAN FREE lii FlU 1IE DAY! HERALD TO AWARD PRIZES TO WILLI XO WORIiKRS Saturday evening, November 18th, will see the close of the Herald's Salesmanship Campaign, the biggest thing of its nature that has ever been undertaken by any newspaper In this territory. On that evening at First National bank which was chosen by the candidates by their own vote as the place to put the ballot box. The advisory board will count the work of the week, total it with work credited to the end of the second period, award he prizes and the Salesman ship Campaign will rank with the World War, Democratic control and other things of the past. The second period of the Herald's big Salesmanship campaign closed last Saturday night. All of the lead ers are working hard and everyone of them expect to show big gains. A large number of credits secured dur ing this second period are printed in this issue of the Herald but many are working with the determination of having a good reserve when this period closes. It is a strange coincidence some thing very unusual in affairs of this kind but several of the leading' club members benefited so equally thus far in this period that without hair line figuring it would be almost im possible to determine the real lende today. As stated in these columns last week it seems that the Herald's big prize campaign is fated to be extraordinarily close one throughout. The competition therefore, so la as the relative standing of the lead ers is concerned, is practically where it wa3 prior to' last Saturday night Hence, the struggle for supremacy will be fought out during the nei 4 days. The campaign closes, Satur day, November IS, at S00 p. m. It depends almost entirely upon the re sults obtained between now and 11: end of the campaign as to who tU' ultimate winners will bej Club members should put forth an extra effort during the remaining days for a very few long term sub scriptions may mean the different' between the car and one of the otli prizes so don't wait but make th most of every moment of the remain ing time to get every available su scription while you still have time to do so. Ten subscriptions for five years each -nil give you 400,000 credits and if you lacked just that many of win ing the Ford Sedan car it would make you sick to think that you overlooked the opportunity to win, so don't let a single friend or member of" you relatives get away without giving you at least one five year sub scription, for their subscription may be the means of your winning. The duties of the campaign man ager ended Saturday night, as on Monday morning the ballot box was taken to the bank and locked and sealed by the judges of the campaign and the ballot box will remain there until the close of the campaign Sat urday night at 8:00 o'cloc. No subscription will be accepted by the campaign manager or the Her ald during the balance of the cam paign as each club member must take or send their subscription direct to the bank and mark plainly on the outside, "For Ballot Box," and when received the envelope bearing the subscription money will be deposited in the ballot box unopened. Should a club member desire they may hold their subscriptions until the last day of the campaign and deposit them personally in the ballot box, but due care must be taken that they are placed in the box before the final stroke of eight o'clock or they will not be counted. If there is any tiling that you do not understand about placing your subsiripions in the box or If you want additional information Club Members Standing Mrs. J. F. Gorham Norma Frederic - Mrs. C. R. Laugdon Mrs. M. L. Curran Dollie Barlow Mrs. Emma Breshears be sure and ask the campaign manager. Members of the advisory, board an nounced at the beginning of the cam paign will be asked to officiate on the last night of the campaign and open the ballot box and make the fin al counting of the credits and decide the winners. Club members may place their sub scriptions' and credits in the ballot box any time after Monday morning but be sure that they are placed In the ballot box before the final hour of eiht o'clock Saturday, November 18th, or they will not be counted and no excuse will be accepted. The campaign will positively close at eight o clock Saturday not one minute be fore nor one minute after. The race is now in the final lap and it is any on'e race for the car. and a great deal depends upon what the club members do this .week as to which one will win the Ford Sedan, and the other prizes that are being offered. Several of the club members ire well toward the million niar.i but there may be some surprases at the end and it is well to say at this time the winner will have severa1 million credits when the final counting is made and the prizes are awarded. The full voting strength is not shown in the credit totals published m the paper thi3 week and all have made very strong reserves to come to light at the final. The race is an interest ing one and doubly so by the fact that the Herald has done everything possible to make it absolutely fair and square to all. remains isj.be final burst of speed. The final scenes are set. All that The storm of ballots will last until Saturday night, November isth and at eight o'clock the shower will stop for all time and the counting will then start. Be sure that your credits are in the ballot box before that time or they will not be counted nn mat ter what the excuse might be that you uwill offer. Don't let a single subscription slip by for that might win the car. A little effort and tlu car may be yours! Work now or never. May the best cne win. Boardman is forging ahead. Her citizens can now boast of having heard a radio concert. The directors of the cemetery association gave the affair Tuesday evening to raise the necessary funds for the payment on the cemetery plot. The auditorium was packed and everyone was so in terested to hear the radio most or for the first time. This was a bit of a disappointment at first because of some difficulty and so the films run instead and the audience thor oughly enjoyed "Alfalfa Love" a light comedy in which a trained dog was the leading actor. Then came Harold Lloyd (who is always good) in a screaming comedy; the house rocked with laughter from start t finish of the film. Following this we heard a splendid solo very clearly and distinctly on the radio, and then a violin solo which came over the air waves so plainly that it was al-' rron' 1Ir- and .Mrs. Hulden and their most impossible to believe that the tw0 ,,ovs 'e leaving today for Iila violinist was hundreds of miles awey. lock where they expect to spend the Then more difficulty was encountered ; the sounds becoming scratchy and blurred and harsh, but "those who stayed later reported hearing some mi. music. lioaraman .iiirror. Ben Swaggart, well known stock man of near Lexington, was a visitor in Heppner yesterday. Mr. Swaggart who is a staunch democrat, is well pleased with the result of the elec tion.

The girlg of the chorus, knot "chorus girls," were attired in uniform and insignia of the Red Cross jiurse and the singing, joined in by the audience, was spirited. The Boy Scouts were present in numbers aind put on an interesting demonstration of first aid work. Short addresses were given by J. D. Zurcher, an attorney of Stanfield, Oregon, Rev. J. R. L. Haslam, Rev. and Mrs. Livingstone, Mrs, Cochran and others. Mrs. Cochran has requested the Herald to express her thanks to all who by their assistance on the pro gram either as singers or speakers, contributed to the success of the eve ning. Mrs. Cochran and her orps of as sistants, are making a thorough can vass of the county this week and many dollars are expected to be turned in to the Ryd Cross fund. FARM BUREAU TO MEET IN THEATRE WEDNESDAY .President Mansfield of State 15u reati to Speak Rusiness Men Invited to Join In Discussing Problems of. .Mutual Interest Be at the Star theatre Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and hear the president of the Oregon State Farm bureau speak. A meeting will be held at Heppner, Oregon, Wednesday afternoon, Nov ember 5th, at 2 p. m., of far reach ing importance, not only to the live stock men and agricultural producers but to the business men as well. .Mr Mansfield, president of the Oregon State Farm bureau will be the priii-: pal speaker but there will doubtless be interesting short talks by stock men and business men. It has been apparent for some time that pros perity is not just around the corner, as optimistic prophets have predicted, but depends upon vigorous action by ourselves. It will be demonstrated to business man and farmers alike that prosperity depends absolutely on the prosperity of the producer and that this depends upon a proper and orderly marketing of his products. This is impossible at the present time because the producer, unless he Is properly financed is- forced to dump his products on the market. We must begin by-first correcting this condi tion. The Producers Finance Cor poration and Orderly Marketing by means of the Producers National Live Stock Association is offered as a solution. Business men are espec ially invited. This is their problem as well as that of the producer. A, big audience is expected and an In teresting discussion ..of the subject will be had. Come out and see what you thung about it, and express your sentiments. This is our problem. Let us try to solve it. Morrow County Farm Bureau. E. M. HILDEV LEASES Hit; RLAMM'K RANCH E. M. Hulden, who lias made a suc cess raising wheat on his big ranch on Hlackhorse, is extending his field of activity by leasing the Dr. C. J. Smith ranch at Klalock, in Gilliam county.

Mr. Hulden is an example of the city man who makes good on the farm. He quit the banking business in Portland a few years ago to try farming in Morrow county and has made good. CITY ELECTION' RESULTS At the city election last Tuesday Mayor Noble was re-elected without opposition amd Jeff Jones, C. L. Swef-k and Claud Cox were elected to the city council by a practically unanimous vote. W. A. Richardson was elected recorder and W. O. Dix city treasurer. PIERCE SWEEPS STATE B GREAT MAJORITY LANDSLIDE l'OK DEMOCRATS IS COl-'NTRY WIDE Voters File Protest Against Republi can Party Rati Times Last Tuesday's election was a sort of replica of that oftwo years ago except that things were turned the other way round. Two years ago the Republican party smashed into power on a regu lar tidal wave of votes and it was with many glowing promises of a continuance of the great prosperity the country was then enjoying that the present national administration went into power. Many promises were given and promises made about what was to be done for the farm er, the stockman, the ex-service man, and most everybody else but as a matter of fact nothing has been done to redeem those pledges. Such, at least, seems to have been the condi tion of the public mind as it was re flected in the election returns last Tuesday. Democratic victories were reported from all over the country and the Republican majority in con gress was all but wiped out. In Oregon, Walter M. Pierce, Dem ocratic candidate for governor, woi over Ben V Olcott by a heavy ma jority. Other Hepublie;n state otli cials on the ballot were generally elected. In this congressional district Sin nott won over Graham but McArthur lost in the second district to Watkius, democrat. The democrats gained 10 members in the legislature one of these being Hon. H. J. Taylor, of Umatilla county for senator, who won the election from Colon Eberhard, present incum bent. The vote in the county follows: li Congress Graham, dem., 411; j Sinuott, rep., 78!).

Sentiment among the speakers seemed to be pretty well divided Rev. Livingstone and others arguing that the moral effect is bad and that it draws a lot of money out of this couny to Pendleton each year. Dr. Conder and other speakers de clared the Round-Up to be a fine show at once educational and enter taining and with great historical value, advising the people of Heppner to spend thtir time boosting for their own town, and Rodeo rather than spend it knocking Pendleton. No vote was taken on the question of having the Pendleton show discontinued so it will no doubt run another year or two anyway. HEPPNER HIGH LOSES GAME TO LEXINGTON In one of the best games seen here this year, Heppner lost, to Lexington hijjh by a score of 13-6. It was a fight from start to finish Willi the winning score going to the (earn that had the breaks. At the end of the first half, the score was 7-6 and it was the first time this year that Lex ington' goal line had been crossed. In the second half Lexington won the game by blocking a punt on Hep- pner s 30 yard line and carrying it across the line. Lexington was dotted to win 30 points but the hard work and steady practice of the Heppner boys closed up a lot, of the early season weak points. In fact,. Heppner had all the better of the game except the score and the breaks. The local boys made 11 1st downs to only 7 by their op ponents and completed 6 forward passes to two by Lexington. But with all these figures old lady jinx still seemed to be against our boys. How ever, wo will say that Lexington has a wonderful backtield and with a lot of coaching should develop into a wonderful team. Those on the local team who did stellar work for their school were: Captain Cason , Francis Doherty, Keitli Logan, Ehiier llurkntim and Paul Aiken. In fact the whole team played in great form and all deserve credit. From Lexington Lewie Allen anil Harold Cox were easily the out standing stars. ELKS' ,od;e of sorrow si.v I A V , DECEMHEIt it Heppner Lodge of Elks will hold memorial services in memory of de parted brothers on Sunday, Decem ber 3, 1922, in the lodge rooms in the Elks building. This service in Elkdom Is" known as the "Lodge-of Sorrow" and, is uni versally observed on the first Sunday in December wherever there is a Elks lodge. It is a beautiful, and im pressive ceremony and typifies the spirit of fraternity that is fostered in the heart of every true Elk. The memory of every departed brother is sacred to every living Elk. His faults are written upon the sand; his virtues upon thi! tablets of love and memory. i Gooseberry Graham 1, Slnnolt 8 ' tJ,':o"- l''''" '" Churchill 9 j Geoi K''1' ' School bill yes 1, no 8.

TO I FARMER win HELP SOLVE MARIvKTI.NU PKOiiLEMS Heifer Marketing System Essential To Prosperity In State Affirms Chamber ....Two recent developments in Ore gon servo to emphasize the increas ing interest in producer's marketing associations, in business and educa tional circles. One is the action tak en by the chamber of commerce to es tablish a fund to assist cooperatives. The other is embodied In a report from a committee acting under the bureau of organlation and markets of the extension service of the Oregon state agricultural college. The chamber of commerce action followed extensive investigations1 of cooperative establishments In Cali fornia and elsewhere throughout the United States. In a statement just made public the committee of the chamber calls attention to the "un satisfactory conditions among agri cultural growers, and to tin lact that the farm population in the state is dwindling at. an alarming rate. It recommends a fund of Iron, $150, 000 to tf2Oi00O a year, a consider able part of which would Im used in support of 'girting cooperative, in sittutlona and in the development of ot hers. The report, of the extension com mittee consumes considerable space in setting forth the value of coopera tive marketing, summaraing tho work which lias be, n done to date. Then new enterprises, these cooperative institutions will experience many dif ficulties. It. ihows the necessity for assistance to those now in operation and the development of others to han dle products which now are unorgani zed. "A better system of marketing is essential to the development of pros perity throughout the stale, it says. "California has prospered immensely hrotigh cooperative marketing. Wo have confidence that Oregon can dn the same. Cooperative associations have been developed. They are now in action. In behalf of the publh! interest their future must be prevent ed." The report points to the assist ance already extended t coopera tive organizations by the stale agri cultural college, and recommends fur ther action through a continuance of "its intensive study of cooperative marketing." "We urge the importance, of aid ing farm organizations to give morn attention to the cooperative move ment," it says, "and to feature this subject Insofar as practicable, as a. regular course throughout the year." Community and other coitifereucesj on marketing are endorsed, with broadcast educational work by tho college. There Is also suggested a Program of education among busi ness Interests and consumer swhich would Include personal conferences wlih influential business men and bankers, carefully prepared addresses lor chambers of commerce and oilier civic bodies, and marketing exhibits lor fairs. "We recommend," the icport re cites, "that, the closest possible co operation shall be ..;veu Mi.- exist ing cooperative associations, the ore. gon coop, rative council, the Farm bu ''"'".
