ARLINGTON TEAM WINS
It was anybody's game up until
the seventh inning last Sunday, was
that Arlington-Heppner game at
Gentry field.
Up to the end of the sixth nobody,
scored and theta in the seventh, as
will sometimes happen, the visitors
swatted the pill scandalous and
brought home four men. The
eighth canto brought no scores to
cither side and the first half of the
ninth was equally unproductive.
Then Heppner took up a couple of
notches in her belt and brought in
two nice scores and the game ended
with Vaa Marter and Ward on -bases
and Paul Aiken almost to first. The
ball beat him by a hair, however,
and thus Heppner's chance for a tie
score and another inning went glim
mering. Old Reliable Montagua was in the
box for Arlington and our batters
had difficulty in finding his curves
and outs and ins, landing but three
hits during the game. Broughton,
for Heppner, delivered a nice line of
goods that tfe visitors ate up us
kids do candy, taking toll to the
tune o ften hits. Four walks are
credited to each pitcher.

HIGH SCHOOL OPERETTA
PLEASES BIG AUDIENCE
One of the big events of the Hepp
ner school year is the annual oper
etta put on by the high school chorus
and the entertainment given at the
Star theatre last Tuesday evening
was no exception to past achieve
ments in the way of a well attended,
meritorious performance.
The title of the production was
"The, Treasure Hunters," and the
plot was staged on the island of
Hocus Pocus, a hitherto unknown
dot in the Philippine group.
The cast was well selected, each
character was well sustained and
there was much good singing, the
principal parts being taken by Alvin
Boyd, young American inventor and
supposed pirato chief; Philip Ma
honey, American capitalist and
father of the heroine, Madeline (Vel
ma Case) with whom the chief is in
love; Cortland Van Prissey, New
York dude and millionaire, (Elmer
Bucknum); Mrs. Witherspoon,
widow and chaperone, (Hazel Ander
son); Jimmy Squabs, a master diver,
(Paul Aiken) ; Seraphina Squabs,
wife of Jimmy and who "lined him
up" proper on occasion, (Marguerite
Hisler) ; Arafura, a native belle,
(Helene Curran); Commander
Boomday, of the U. S. navy, (Stan
ley Peterson); Daisy Boomday, his
daughter, (Leola Bennett); Manuel
Manduley, governor of the island,
(Harold Case); and Dozy, hU house
keeperi (Luola Benge).
Others taking part were CrocTcett
Sprouls, John Turner, Austin Smith,
Dorothy Hill, Violet Hynd, Wiletta
Barratt, Gene Pyle, Anita Hughes,
Mary Crawford and Carl Cason.

and "From the Land of the Sky
Blue Water," in her usual charming
manner, and Miss Bernlco Woodson,
a high school junior, gave a reading
in which she impersonated a real
100-per-cent-American boy of the
period, in tho selections, "Fair
Warning" and "Soap (The Oppres
sor)." Mi83 Woodson's number was
easily the hit of the evening and any
10- or 12-year-old boy who may be
in doubt as to his status in the family
and this vale of tears generaly,
should have received a new vision of
life from her recital.

TARIFF
Roswell, New Mexico, May 12.
In ordere to forestall tho re-opening
of the wool schedules and to force
fully resist any attempt at down
ward revision of the rates on ranch,
farm and mine products in the tariff
act of 1922, Prager Miller, president
of th,e New Mexico Wool Growers
association and vice president of the
Western Division of the Southern
Tariff association, is enlisting tho
bankers, producers and merchants of
all western states to join with simi
lar interest? of the) south in prevent
ing any change in tho present tariff
rates on western and southern
products.
All agricultural and livestock or
ganizations, chambers of commerce,
bankers and merchants of tho west
including New Mexico, Arizona, Col
orado, Wyoming, Montana, Utah,
Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nevad
and California have been requested
by Mr. Miller to circulate tho follow
ing petition of protest among their
members and voters for presentation
to President Harding and the mem
bers of the United States tariff com
mission. "We are unalterablyopposed to a
reduction in the ratjes on wool and
other farm products of the perma
nent tariff act.
"In our opinion it will result In
a corresponding and dlsasterous re
duction in the farm price of agricul
tural products to tho farmers and
stockmen of the south and west.
"In our opinion the rales In the
Fordney McCumber tariff measuro
as applied to raw materials aro just
and reasonable and have proved a
great benefit to the producers, and
we want no change made in them.
"We especially pro-test against the
wool schedules being reopened for
tho reason that such action would
produce depressing results on mark
ets, on production and on the credits
of tho industry.
"We favor a permanent tariff pol
icy and schedules that will give our
farmern and ranchmen continued
prosperity."
