"Mansfield, president of the. Oregon State Vaira bureau, and Wa'p Siler discuss the plans of the recently organized Producers Finance Corpor ation which has been organized In Portland for the purpose of furnish ing farineic and stockmen with money with which to caivy on their business to better advantage to them pelves han they are now able to do. The promoters of the new corpor ation declare that there is a field for such an institution for the reason that the banks .a' not able at I hi time t: extend credit fur on',-,' short periods. They also claim that with such an organization loans can bo made at a much lower rate of in terest than new prevails in the Paci fic northwest end that through such an organ! a. loans may lie safely made not ly on real estate ami livestock but en growing- crops and even on summer fallow lams not yet planted. Mr. Man'fifld, who is an able and convincing .speaker, talke I on c op erative linan'ir.g and marketing an. made it plain to his he.trers that farmers and stockmen must (iiit ex pecting peoyk: in other lines' of busi ness to work out their problems. "You fellows must take hold and work these things out for yourselve3 just as people in other lir.es have worked and are working out their prohloms," lie said. "This plan of thejarmers organizing and financing themselves, taken in cooperation with the Farm bureau plan of orderly mar keting wi", iii my opinion, put the farmer on ins feet as nothing elsc wiU. The linance corporation Is founded on tne principle of copera tive credit and when it joins hands with cooperative marketing, nothing can prevent its success." Mr. Siler followed with an explan ation of the finance corporation, which has Wa organized by the fol lowing well known men: . F. vil-i-rr., manager Bankers Discount Cor poration; J. P.Doherty, livestock market specialist; Dr. C. J. Smith, wheatgrower; William Hanley, stock man; Wade Siler, livestock and grain man; C. R. Wilson, producer ami banker; E. T. Slayton, cattleman; and George A .Mansfield, farmer and president state farm bureau. The corporation is organized as a stock company with shares of, $250 each, and no member is permitted (o own more than four shares of the stock which is non-assessable. The 'united credit of the members will be used as security for securing money from big banks and trust companies in the east who desire to make long time loans and Mr. Siler stated tint such money can be secured at sucl a low rate as will enable tne corpor ation to loan to their members at n to exceed 5 or 6 per cent. One pe: cent is to added to the original cost pf this money for the purpose of pay ing dividends on the stock beside the actual overhead cost of handling the business the object being, the speaker said, to furnish money to farmers and stockmen at the lowest possible rate of interest. Another important feature of th corporation, which Mr. Siler bel'-jvt tfill mean more real saving to th stockmen than the lowering of inter est rates, is the orderly market; m feature. A department of the corpor ation at Portland will 'keep in clost touch with the markets and keep the stockmen throughout he territory ad advised when to ship and when to withhold shipments thus .-voiding the present gluts which demoralize the market and cause heavy losses to producers... The shipment of stockers and feeders to terminal markets will also be regulated, the speaker claim ed thus saving much shipping ex pense which now so often eats into the stockman's profit. Frequently, under the present system, the speak er said, stockers and feeders are shiped to Portland from some east ern Oregon point and there sold to Messrs. Anderson, Benge and De vine, delegates of the Oregon Coop erative Grain Growers have invited all interested grain growers to meet with them at Heppner on Saturday, Decembeii 2, at 2 p. m. in the council hall. They will be called to Portland the first of the following week to meet with the directors to transact import ant matters of business and are ask ing members to bring any complaints, or suggestions to them at this time and hope that a good representative number will be present so that a good round table meeting can be had. Most cooperative associations suf fer for want of interest and atten tion on the part of members who are not informed. Such meetings are good and should be more frequent. HEPPNER HI WINS 10-0 HE The local high school football team journeyed to lone last Saturday and walloped the latter by a score of 1O-0. The game was full of long end runs and passes but even with those very little, scoring was done.

The first half Heppner on Ione's ten yard line three times, once being held for downs once losing the ball on a penalty and the third time Paul Aiken dropped back and placed the ball squarely between the postp for Spoints. In the second half lone got as far as the 10 yard lino once but Heppner defense was teo strong and they lost the ball on downs. In (this half there were several flashy runs by the local boys. Reid Buseich intercepted a pass on his own 30 yard line and was not stopped unlil he reached his opponents 30 yard line. Buck Hall tore off tackle and off end for ten and twenty yards. Paul Aiken made some long end runs that brought the cheers from his rooters. With four minutes , to go j Brick Hall wormed his way through a short end run for a touch down from his 3 5 yard line with I'd Back num and William Gilliam running good interference.

D 1 1 Successful Subscription Campaign Closed Saturday Night Paid Up Circulation Now Covers Heppner Trade Teritory The Herald's subscription cam paign which has been attracting much interest in Heppner and all the surrounding trade territory for the past seven weeks closed last Satur day evening1 when the ballot box was opened in the First National bank and the advisory committee compos ed of C. E. .Woodson, S. W. Spencer, W. P. Mahoney and J. A. Waters, counted the credits and announced the winners as follows: Norma Frederic, first prize, Ford Sedan car, bought of Latoureil Auto Co. Mrs. C. R. Langdon, second prize, Chesterfield furniture set, bought of Case Furniture company. Mrs. M. L. Curran, third prize, Stradavaris phonograph, bought of Patterson & Son. r Mrs. J. F. Gorham, of Boardmati, fourth prize, scholarship in Bebnke Walker Business college, of Portland. Miss Dolly Barlow, fifth prize, 2G piece set Community silverware, bought of Wm. Haylor. Mrs. Emma Breshears, of Lexing ton, sixth prize, Ladies Gold watch, bought of F. L. Harwood. The seventh prize was not award ed for the reason that two or three contestants got cold feet before the campaign ended and dropped out so there was no contestant for the last prize. The campaign was a success and all contestants were satisfied re ceiving reward exactly in accordance with the amount of credits turned in. The principal object of the cam paign was to increase the boni fide, paid up circulation of the Herald in the trade territory tributary to Hep pner and in that regard it was very successful, a big majority of the bus iness turned in being new subscrip tions to the paper, assuring to all advertisers a circulation that ade quately covers the territory. General financial conditions were adverse to the campaign as they are to every line of business endeav or at this time but that was some thing no one could forseo early last summer when the campaign was planned. Had wheat been an aver age crop and selling at a fair .price the campaign would have gone over with greater financial returns to the publisher just as better conditions would have profited every branch of business in Heppner the past two months but, taken all in nil the pub lisher lias no regrets more than his neighbors have for these unfavorable conditions. Our thanks and appreciation are due contestants, the merchants and the people generally who supported the campaign. It made some stir in Heppner during a mighty dull two months and to the few who "knock ed" and tried to discredit the cam paign and discourage the contestants, we have no fault to find. Perhaps they were born that way and can't help it. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Finley were in from their ranch homo north of Lexington Wednesday on a shopping trip. Mr. Finley says their coinmun- ! ls favored with fine bright seti , shine when other parts of the ioi.n:y are enveloped in log. Mr. and Mrs. Geo. A. Mansliold. were visitors in Heppner Wed-siiduy afternoon and evening leaving foi Portland Thursday morning. Mr Mansfield, who is president of th' Oregon Slate Farm bureau, addiess ed a meeting of farmers and stock men Wedensday afternoon in the in terest of the Producers Finance Cor poration. Acquirements for a well planned poultry house are suitable location, avoiding exposure as much as possi ble, fresh air free from drafts, plenty of floor space for exercise purposes, plenty of roost space to prevent crowding, equipment such as drink ing fountains and mash hoppers In such places and in sufficient quan titiles that the fowls will have access to them at all times, and the proper arrangemen of doors and windows to make cleaning out the litter as easy as possible. -O.A.C.

"Right improve ment of waterways is the most im portant part of my subject," the speaker declared. Clearing away of hitches in gov t.i nmental action which might hin der the. application of the three-in- one proposal, and thus make the j whole problem of water transporta- j lion, irrigation and power develop-! ment one movement was urged by! the speaker . The importance of the I development of the down river car-j goes by the improvement of the arid i lands on both sides of the Columbia was emphasized, to work with the up-river cargoes to the "bread-basket" country. Major George Mayo, United Stales engineering corps, and F. C. Schu bert, civilian engineer of the same corps, spoke o nthe problems of ren dering the Columbia navigable and told of work already accomplished by the department.

GLIMPSES OF LIFE IN IL If you can't imagine how students i would look apparently packed in like I sardines you ought to take a glimpse of the English and History rooms I sinco tho seating has been changed! All of thei seats were moved from the History room and as many as ! could be, were crowded in the Eng ! lish room Arm chairs are now in use in I he other room. For once, Heppner Hi students got a "hand out" right after school last Friday when the Juniors held a sand wich sale. The popularity of the eats can be judged by tiie fact, that about ten dozen went in fivo minutes! (Sandwiches, of course!) Poor Frosh! It does seem a pity, they cant, hang that new pennant we've heard so much about. The executives of tho annual staff have tbeen making out specifications for the 1923 "Ilehisch." They plan to have it. out about May next year, as Ibis well give a better opportunity to dispose of more copies. The yell contest which was to have closed last Wesnesilay was extended j until Wednesday this week because the quality of the yells handed in at the last was so much better than that at. first. Yell practice was held dur ing physical culture period last Thursday in order to try out the yells submitted. According to the 'report of the treasurer of the student, body, (lie senior class is the only'one in which every member has paid their tax. The names of the others who haven't paid yet were posted on the board last Thursday. The rules and regulations for fire drills has been somewhat changed this year, altho we have not practiced them yet. Under the new regula tions every body is required to leave the building during a drill, anyone unable to do so Is to be curried out by the floor sergeants. The football boys and Mr. Mather were royally entertained by Mrs. Boyd at her home last Wednesday evening. From all reports wo heard, Mrs. Boyd served a very sumptuous dinner which was enjoyed by every one. Miss Frasier has announced that the preliminary try-outs for debate will be given next. Friday afternoon. Those participating are: Ketha Owen, Dorothy Hill, Dorothy Paul son, Bernlce Woodson, Harold Case, William Gilliam, Ray McDuf fee, Chas Xolson and Vawter Parker. It 's not a ha rd lark to guess I hat (lie second six-weeks period is almost till by the number of examination papers we see fluttering around. Arthur '..arson, who is teaching on Butter creek this winter, was in Hep pner Saturday on a short business trip. Mr. Lars'-n combines the Cession leaching with farming on the lloardman project where ho owns a very fine 40-acre improved farm.
