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

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

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

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

was the leading actor. Then came
Harold Lloyd (who is always good)
in a screaming comedy; the house

The Community Sing given at the

well attended and under the manage

Cochran an excellent program was
rendered. The girlg of the chorus,
knot "chorus girls," were attired in
uniform and insignia of the Red

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.

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

KOCND-Ur IS DISCI SSED RY
THE LOCAL RKOTIIEKIIOOD
At the Brotherhood dinner last
evening the subject for discussion
was the Pendleton Round-l'p and
whether it is a benefit or a detriment
to Morrow county. 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.

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.

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
