IF YOU WANT ALL THE NEWS OF MORROW COUNTY WHILE IT IS NEWS, READ THE HEPPNER HERALD. WE PRINT T FIRST IDD VOLUME X HEPPNER, OREGON, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13. 193 NUMBER 29 fcita PRIZEWINNING BULLTOHEAD MINOR HERD BOB THOMPSON' BUYS STOCK SHOW WINNER WILL IMPROYE LOCAL STOCK Hercules Mars-hall Said to Be Finest Animal of Class in the United States Bob Thompson, well known Mor row county stockman, and member of the W. 0. Minor Short Horn Cattle Co., of which Glenn Boyer is man ager, has returned from the Interna tional Stock show where he pur chased the prize winning Shorthorn liu'l of his class, a senior yearling from the F. M. Rothrock company, of Spokane, Wash. The animal is registered as Her cules Marshall and has been a prize winner at every show he has at tended since his calfhood. As a jun ior yearling he won first honors at the Chicago show last ypar and he undoubtedly stands at the head of his class on the Pacific coast if not in the entire United States. Hercules Marshall and three other very fine Shorthorns purchased by John Kilkenny at the big show, ar rived In Heppner Monday and are be ing taken care of at the Latraoe feed yard near the depot for a few days. Hercules will head the Minor Com pany herd and Mr. Kilkenny's three will be placed with his herd at his Hinton creek ranch. The purchase of these fine animals by our leading stockmen shows that, in their opinion, the cattle business is a coining one and that the secret of ifuture success lies in improving the breed and producing the highest quality of beef to meet the demands of the best markets. Mr. Kilkenny, who is known as the biggest sheepman in the county, has lately been building up a fine herd of cattle on his ranges and the addi tion of these fine animals indicate that he will soon rank well in the cattle industry. The late W. O. Minor, who found ed th,e Shorthorn company bearing his name was formerly one of the best known Shorthorn men- in the west and took many annual prizes at all the big shows east and west. WHERE DID THIS FARMER GET THE MONEY! ? Tli story comes from Grass Val ley that a farmer of that section while on his way to town got out of his car to open a gate when a hold-up man stuck a pistol in his ribs, made him lie on his back, rob bed him of more than $100 then stepped on the running board and started the car over a bluff to k,eep the farmer from giving a quick alarm. Two queries are suggested by this story; First, Where did the farmer cet all that money and, second, will the robbers be tackling country edi tors next? L. V. Gentry, John Kilkenny, R. A. Thompson and John Kelly were among the promiaent Morrow coun ty stock men who attended the big show at Portland last week.

The result is a 14-0 score in Lexington's fa vor. 'Ihe game was played at Lexing ton last Saturday. Ted Johnson a former Lexingtonite, acted as rcf eroe, while Ed Chidsey was umpire, aia Eugene Doherty and Bob Mc Millan were linemen. Heppner went into the game ith a no.ie too optomistic outlook. Tr.is feeli was augp euted by report ! of "Big Mike" and "that crooked--ioa. referee " Heppner had the first punt and kept the ball foi a few minutes at the teginning. Then the referee ga.e Lexington the ball. Heppner's team seemed to be in a sort of letha.'iy and permitted Lexington to get away with two touchdowns in the first quaiter. Successful goal kicks wre m:i:le both times, making the score 14-0 at the end of the first quar ter. In the second quarter it was about an even break. Neither team held the otler any too well. Heppner began to wake up in the last half and discovered that she really could do something if she tried. She completly outplayed Lex ington and although she was unable to gain a touchdown (ask the referee why) she kept Lexington from gain ing another. The last half certainly was well played by Heppner's men even if the referee did hav(e quite a time condescending to notice that they were on the field. And so the game ended. As was prophesied, the game went to the one who got the breaks. Whether the game was won by fair means or foul is another story. Heppner's team seemed rather lacking in co-operation at first, but she retrieved herself toward the last. Had she played the game on her own field and had it been played fairly, the score would have been different. There was a large crowd present and the gate receipts fulfilled all ex pectations. Old H. H. S. turned out strong and certainly yelled for her team in a peppy manner. The Heppner team's lineup was: Right End Francis Doherty Tackle Jim Stout Guard . .Emery Goodman Center Austin 8mith Guard Leonard Schwarti Tackle Ed Bell Left End Elmer Buckman Right Half Paul Aiken Fullback Guy Ha'.l Left Half Con Adklns Quarter Carl Cason The nprt game will be played with , Fossil on the home field Saturday, I November 17. !

RETURN' FROM EXTENDED VISIT IX IDAHO Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Bayless re turned Wednesday evening from an extended visit with relatives and friends In Idaho where they spent several pleasant weeks around Pay ette, Caldwell and Boise. "It's a great country," W. O. re marked to the Herald when speaking of their trip Thursday morning. "It's wonderful the amount of apples, let tuce, hogs, hay and other farm prod ucts that is being shipped out of that country this fall. At one station there are three lettuce packing plants where cars are being loaded with succulent lettuce heads continuously. Apples are also being sent out by the hundreds of cars and one day each week is known as "hog day" when 8 to 10 cars of fat hogs are shipped out to Portland. There are no big hog raisers but every farmer and or chardist keeps enough hogs to eat up the waste and when topped out on corn they are prime stuff. Corn 'is a great crop there, making 70 to 80 bushels' per acre and of fine quality." Mr. Bayless says the farmers there ar(e about the same as in all other countries some are going broke and some are making money. Pheasant and duck shooting is great around Caldwell, Mr. Bayless says and he had a world of sport In that line. Not far from Caldwell Is a big artificial lake used as storage for irrigation water. It is said to be the largest artificial lake in the world and Mr. Bayless says there are more ducks on that lake than ho thought there were in the whole world.

Spence, Market Agent Suppose It required 1000 people to produce articles necessary for a community, and then 500 more peo ple niadje a living and profits in get ting these articles to the people of the community. You would admit that the system was top heavy and that one of two conditions would re sult, either that the price to the con sumer would have to be so low (that the middle 500 might make their profits) that he could not prosper, or the price to the consumer would he so high that he would not consume as much as he needed. There a-e 33 1-2 millions of farm folks engaged in producing food for the nation and there are 19 millions of middle folks concerned in dis tributing these products to the homes. The results are that the middle interests fix the price so low to the farmer that he cannot get cost of production on many of his products, while the price to the homes is so higli that normal buying is greatly reduced.

SWAGGART, Prop. ja Control and Markets 723 Court House, Portland, Or. Of this condition Senator Borah of Idaho says: "The farmer realizes now that un less he is not only in control of pro duction, but marketing also, he will be the victim of those who control the markets. Thero is no business but must, through organization and ability, be prepared to take care of itself." There is an abundance of all food products, yet consumers are refusing to purchase beyond absolute neces sity, because of high retail prices, and at the same time millions of fanners are leaving the land be cause they are facing bankruptcy.
