M M S3 SB Worthless How many investments have you made in securities that are now worthless? Who of us has not at some time or other bought some stock or other security that now carries no value? There "will always be money lost in tvorthless speculation, but we can at least :ry to bring these costly adventures to a minimum. J , . n K;; The best way is to consult your banker jefore purchasing unproven securities. First National Bank Heppner Ore. R. E. Alstott, sr., was in from, his Rhea creek ranch Saturday sizing up the -ways of town folks and congrat ulating himself about the weather. Mr. Alstott, besides being1 one of the best farmers in the county, is some what of a philosopher to boot and re fuses to waste his time worrying about things he can't help, He doesn't look at his fruit buds every time the frost goes out of the ground to see if they are swelling and get ting ready to get killed next time freezes he just waits till mid-summer and if he has no fruit he can decide that maybe the freezing got the buds, but he hasn't lost the joy out of life for several months worry ing about it.

GILLIAM & BISBEE Rex Ingram Planned to Film "The Conquering Power' 5 Years Ago' It was nearly five years ago that Rex Ingiam, then an extremely youthful director, first suggested filming the story now produced by .Metro as "The Conquering Power," with Alice Terry and Itodolph Val eutino in leading roles, at the Star theatre, Saturday, January G. "And who is this wonderful story by?" asked the studio manager of the concern by whom Ingram was em ployed. "Balzac," was the reply. "H'm," mused the studio mana ger. "Has this Balzac had much story experience?" "He's pretty favorably known," re plied Ingram. "And how much does he want for the story?" "It costs us nothing," said Ingram. "You see " "That's enough," interrupted the studio manager. "I've heard of these 'for nothing' stories before. We don't take it. You never get nothing for nothing, young man." Which is one reason the most pow erful story from the pen of the mas ter of fiction has waited until today to be translated into the language of the camera. But Mr. Ingram was not to be turned from his desire to translate the famed story of money and love to the screen and when he had complet ed his sensationally successful ver sion of "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," he desired to start work upon "Eugene Grandet," which was given the title of "The Conquering Power." Those same artistic ideas wrhich he had applied with such telling effect in making "The Four Horsemen" he used in working out his unusual ver sion of Balzac's novel. NORTHWEST LEADS IX VETERA RELIEF WORK With 1154 injured World War vet erans of this district rehabilitated, the Pacific Northwest section of the United States Veterans' bureau leads all other districts of the country in the number of vocationally rebuilt former service people as compared with the number entering training. This announcement was made by L. C. Jesseph, northwest district mana ger of the bureau, who stated that there are 2767 others in training at the txp.-nse of the govern men! now. Only veterans who received disabili ties in war service which pre rente;; them from resuming their pre-war vocations were awarded training. This district which includes Wash ington, Oregon Idaho is also one of the two leaders in the United States in expeditions adjudication of com pensation claims, Mr. Jesseph stated. Only 476 such claims out of a total of 14,347 filed by veterans in the district are pending action at tin present time. Thist is three per cent plus of the total number. With less than one per cent of its mail unans wered, the northwest district of the berbureau leads all others in the mat ter of prompt answering of corres pondence when this work was check ed throughout the country recently. There are 762 disabled war vet erans hospitalized in this district at the present time, a slight decrease under the number in hospitals in Oc tober. The peak of hospitalization was reached early in the spring of thst year. Mental, nervous" tubercu losis cases are still increasing, it was staled. W. E. Crocker, winner of the Cana dian tennis title, was praised by racquet stars of the United States who returned from Montreal, where they participated in the tournament. The Kansas City baseball club of the American association will open the 1023 season In a new park, according to George Muhlbncli, president of the club. The new park will cost $250, 000. o. Freakiest Freak Play. Here is the freakiest of freak plays that, It is suid, took place In the Blue Illdge league. It Is alleged to be a triple play In which not one member of the defending side touched the ball. While It apparently violates a flock of baseball rules, never theless it Is worth printing. One team had runners on first and second with nobody out. The batsman hit an Infield fly, and the umpire cnlled him out under the rules. The infield fly In descending hit the head of the runner on second, and he was declared out by the umpire. The ball rolled toward first base, and the base runner, who was there, In disgust, picked It up and threw it to the outfield. He was declared out for Inter ference, making three outs with out a player In the field touch ing the bull. It Is said that the decision of the mnp went, although It is a question whether it could be called a continuous piny. Neither Is It certain that nn umpire would declare n base runner out for being lilt by an Infield fly after he bad called "infield fly." Yet a ball Is not necessarily out of play on nn Infield fly, fur the rule says that any runner trying to advance on an Infield fly does so at his own risk. New Game for Girls i. Lrlibw mmm Basket ball games on roller skates 1 the latest Innovation Introduced to make the court game more risky. The girls who are all accomplished roller skaters and among the very best basket ball plnyers In the Windy city, believe that this game will eventually replace the game on foot.

The minor leagues produced few good ball players the last summer few good ones that the big leagues wanted. A critic points out that In many of the minors the former big leaguers who act as managers are more Interested In winning games by anything they can get away with than In polishing up some diamond In the rough who would make good In th I majors. For Instance, pitchers In the j smaller minors adopt certain Illegal I motions and get away with them. These same men In the big leagues are required to pitch legally, which is ! one reason they do not show with the i same eclut as when they were in the bushes. j FEDERATED CHURCH J. U. L. Haslam, Pastor. Sunday School 9:45 a. m. Sermon 11a. m. and 7:30 p. . Christian Endeavor 6:30 p. m. With the many blessings God has given us in the past year as a church we feel better fitted for the task of 1923. Again on Sunday night God blessed us with precious souls which adds to our responsibility as a church. Never a year offered such oppor tunities as this year of 1923, and with our loyal young people who are doing so remarkable in God's service, we feel many of these opportunities will be grasped and great things ac complished in the name of Christ for His honor and glory. Why the stir in the church and so many accepting Christ? Because of the many who are busy, finding time for prayer. Attend our Tuesday or Thursday night prayer meetings and you will see w-hy it is. We are having good evangelistic services every Sunday night. Special music, lively singing, and best of all, the presence of the Holy Spirit. Next Sunday night the Men's Gos pel Team will be organized. God has great things in store for these Christian men and young men. Start in the new year right by be ing present at church next Sunday.
