Tuesday, November 28, 1922 THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON OKKGOX 47 YEA11S AGO At an all-college dinner recently given in Condon Mrs. D. S. Brown wa3 the principal speaker. Mr. and Mrs. Brown are "old timers" in the Condon country and are much es teemed by a host of friends.

R. and Hill Military Academy Cadets Salute the Flag. One of the features at Hill Military academy recently" was a patriotic 'Ceremony in which the honored guests were prominent members of the Grend Army of the Republic. The tiniest cadets and the elderly heroes of "the Civil war united in the service. These inspiring ceremonies are frequent ioccurences at the academy in Portland. Among the juniors were three little lads whose mother passed away a few months ago. The father who lives in California could not leave his business 'to care for them and so sent them to the Hill Military academy saying, "Keep them through the .grades and high school." The private schools of Oregon are carefully caring for many orphans and half orphans who would be most directly injured' If the so-called compulsory educational measure should become a law. For that reason many taxpayers are working to dofeat that measure. In addi tion if adopted the bill would cause a great increase in taxes as the private school children, numbering nearly 8,000, would have to be cared for in public institutions and schools.
