Tuesday, August 28, 1923 THE HEPPNER HERALD, HEPPNER, OREGON PAGE FIVE THIS LADY - SHOULD ENTER - THE MARATHOX DANCE Fort Worth, Tex. At the age of 103 Mrs. Frank Stein finds that idle ness weighs upon her like a burden. She wants a job. Almost anything will do provided it will not interfere with hrr dancing. Hard work and dancing, she will tell you, have kept her young and while she welcomes the one she will not give up the other. "I prefer work in a laundry," se says, "but I am willing to cook or do housework in a boarding house." Mrs. Stein has had five husbands and the fith is living with her. He apparently is in his sixties but at that lacks the youthful spirits of his wife, for he declines to accom pany his sprightly spouse to the dance in Yeoman's hall, which she attends regularly. Mrs. Stein was born In Ireland of parents who lived, she says, the father to be 117 and the mother to be 127. With congenial work and dancing enough she hopes to outlive the years of both. Mrs. Stein's "baby boy" is now 68 years old. There are 13 children, including several sots of twins. Two of her boys fought in the Civil war. Her . first four husbands were brothers, Harrigan by name, she stated. She said that her first hus band died of heart failure at the wedding supper. While his funeral was being held at the Harrigan home, husband No. 4 tlen gix weeks old, was in the next room crying to his supper. CHILDREN'S FARM HOME TO BE DEDICATED SEP. 3 To the credit of our state ho .t said that after years of neg'ect of tiie dependent child that there are now housed in two well equipped cot'a&cs of the Children's Fai"i Home of the W. C. T. U. forty o! such little waifts as hae hitherto been condemned to temporary homee, housed in sectarian institu tions established for the care of those who have lost the innocence which is the rightful heritage of childhood. Ihc Farm Home Board are con gratulating themselves upon their gooa fortune in having secured in peison Mr. C. T. Webb as superin tendent, an ideal father and admin istrator. With unusual grasp of the need of the work undertaken, and high ideals of the mission of the home hehas been able to organize the family collected from many coun tics and ns many kinds of surround ings into a real family and home life. The motto of the hoard, "A Real Home on a Real Farm," Is rapidly being made a reality. - Not only are humanitarians of the state becoming more and more in terested in the project but hard headed business men are regarding it as one of the most foresighted business enterpriles, planning as it dees to develop those who might soon become an economic liability into a distinct econmic asset. Governor Pierce in a recent letter to the farm home office says, "I want to assure you that there is no greater work going on in Oregon than the wortc you are doing." The two first cottages will be for mally deiiicued September 5, and a general invitation is extended to all readers of th's paper to go to Cor vallis for this event. The pressing need fur additional buildings, that the many children for whom appli cations are being made in increas ing nuiv.bers may be housed is so great that appeals are being made for "dedication gifts" in the hope that 'such will -enable the manage ment to meet this need. John Hiatt, manager of the Peo ples Hardware Co., received a let ter from Mrs. Hiatt the other day telling of the serious and peculiar accident she met with a few days' before. Mrs. Hiatt and the children are visiting friends in western Ore gon and a few days ago while dress ing Mrs. Hiatt looked over her Ehoulder into the mirror and almost dislocated her neck. She suffered intense pain for some time and a physician who was called declared she had a narrow escape from a broken neck. 4..j..f......'
