ANNUAL SCHOOL
ELECTION HELD
Jas. G. Thomson Chosen Di
rector Vawter Crawford.
Clerk.
The annual school eleotion for Dis
trict No. 1. of Morrow county, was
held, beginning at 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon at the Council chambers,
The meeting was called to order by
Chairman Van Vaotor and aftei the
report of the clerk had been read, a
motion was made and carried to pro
ceed with the election of one director
to serve a oeriod of three years and a
itlerk to serve for one year. For the
latter place there was but one candi
date in the field and for that office
there was no contest. For the office
of d rector it was different there being
two candidates in the field, Mrs. Ida
B. Woodson anl Jas. G. Thomson.
There was a lively interest manifested
in the contest tho the vote oot was
not as large as it should have been.
The Dolls were open from 2 until 4,
and a total of 53 votes were . cast.
There woold have doubtless been more
tliiui this for many did not net around
in time. Out of the votes cast Mrs
Woodson received 25, Mr. Tomsou 28,
Vawter Crawford 51.
The interest manifested by the
ladies in (he contest was (ratifying.
They are pretty good politicians, some
of them, and understand how to work
the game. However there are none
more interested in the well-being of
the school than the mothers of the
town, and we hope this interest will
be more largely maifested at future
school meetings. From the report of
the clerk it is shown that the finances
of the district are in good shape at
present. The total receipts for the
year were $16,922.38; total disburse
ments f 13449. 28. Tne largest item of
etoense of course was for teachers'
salaries, and this amounted to 8885.
The balance on hand at the date of
report is 13543.10 of whioh sum
11749 85 helongina to the sinking fund.
The total amount of the slnkina fund
is $3749.85, $2000 being loaned at
present on leal estate security and
drawing eight per cent interest. No
reprt was offered on the new school
building as this has not been accepted
from the bonding company yet and all
matters between the district and the
company fully adjusted. When this
is done a fnll report in detail will be
forthcoming.

SCHOOL NOTES.
By S. E. Notaon, Supt.
On the 11th inst. I visitsd the
school in District No. 19, which is
under the direction of Miss Ruby
Maxwell. Six pupils were present
and all were doing good work. The
interior of the building has been
brightened by a coat of paint. The
foundaton has been repaired so as to
keep the wind from under the build
ing. A new bookcase has been pro
vided for the library books. There
are new shades for the windows, and
they are all in good working order.
The pupils have individual driking
oops. The pupils are taking con
siderable interest in one phase of
nature study, that of the development
of a frog from the tadpole state.
The teachers who are writing on
the State examination this week ate:
Mrs. Julia M. Clarke and Misses
Zettie E. Stephens, Winnifred Osten,
Mable Rankin, and Grace Stamp of
Heppenr: Misses Mable and Edna Mo
Nabb, of lone: Mrs. T. C. Stephens,
of Hardmau: Miss Lillian Troedson,
of Morgan; and J. A. Gibbons of
Castle Bock.
McKimmey Loses Suit.
In the case of Wakefied vs Mc
Kimmev which came up for settle
ment in justice Cornett's court last
Monday, judgment was passed in favor
of Sherman Wakefield. Justice of
the Peace Cornet's decision called for
the payment of a sistv nine dollar fine
and interest at six percent on the same
since last October. Mr. McKimtnev
will also have to pav the costs of the
court which have not vet been assess
ed. The suit was the -outgrowth of
some trouble in the harvesting of some
grain last summer.
School Sanitation.
Heppner, Oregon,
June 7, 1913.
To the School Officers of Morrow
County:
The future welfare of the ris
ing generation is largely in your
hands. 1 hat the intellectual and
moral outcome of school work
and environment depends to a
great extent upon the physical
condition of the child is a well
established fact.
Is your school house properly
heated and ventilated? Or is it
unevenly heated by stoves, and
ventilated by opening doors and
windows, or by cracks, thus
causing, dangerous draughts? All
this can be corrected by using
the Smith Heating and Ventilat
ing System.
Think of it! An absolutely
even temperature throughout the
whole room! 25,000 to 50.000
cubic feet of air removed per
hour. ! A saving IN fuel!
For schools of more than one
room, a bmith Jf urnace m each
room is better and cheaper
than a furnace in basement
Then there is the water supply.
You cannot afford to be without
a sanitary drinking fountain. In
vestigate the Smith Bubbler
Fountain.
Get a supply of sweeping com
pound and keep down the dust.
Investigate these ' things. Do
not jeopardize the health of the
children your children or those
of your neighbor.
Yours for progress,
Herbert W. Copeland,
Lexington, Oregon.

Another Defeat.
. The Heppner base ball team journ
ied to Lexington, or that is, two or
three ball players from this town
went to Lexiuaton last Sunday and
with the aid of Lexington talent suc
ceeded in drawing another defeat from
the fast lone aggregation. . The score
at the end of the ninth inning stood
11 to 9 in lone's favor. Hale did the
best work for Lexington while Hailtn

vice lor his team.

might want to communicate with
me, I am taking a vacation and
my address will be 2G4-2 14th St.

The New Publicity Law.
While there is abundant reason' to
believe that the newspaper publicity
law that was paused by congress in
1912 and which was upheld by the
Supreme court day before yesterday
waa a sort of reprisal against news
papers by politicians who held them
in fear, the act compels nothing that
teputable papers are not willing to do
of their own volition. No newspaper
of standing objects to making publio
the names of its owners, editors, man
agers, stokholders and bondholders, or
to making public statements of ita
average circulation. In the case of
any newspaper that is worth while,
these are things to be told with pride
not to be concealed or to be regard
ed as a state secret. No honest news
paper accepts pay for editorials under
any oircomstanoBS whatever, ard al
most all reputable papers make clear
either bv form or hv special marks
what is paid advertising nd what is
not.
There is one point in the decision.
however, that calls for comment
The rate accorded to newspapers as
second cass postage is defined as a
pivilege. and is referred to as discrim
ination in favor of the newspapers.
If it is a privilege it is one for which
the newspapers have given the public
full value received, and if there is
discrimination it is in favor of the
publio even more than the publishers.
Because of the second class postage
rate newspapers are the cheapest nec
essity that the people buy. Residents
even of remote districts are enabled to
get every day the news of the wold
for a merely nominal sum. The
United States is proud of the intellli
gence of its inhabitants. This pleas
ing condition is dne in veryage large
measure to cheap newspapers and
periodicals. Eugene ReaiBter.
Fair Commissioners Chosen.
At the meeting of the county oourt
nn Friday the matter of appointing
the Mormw couny fair commissioners
was taken up. W. W. Smead of
Heppner was appointed for one year,
E. R. Huston of Eight Mile for two
years and VV. E. Leach, of Lexngton,
for three years. Hereafter there will
be one apoionted each year. These
men will be requested to give a bond
in the sum of S2000 for the faithful
performance of their duties. We
have cot learned whether the appoint
ments have been accepted, but pre
sume that thy will be and tliat from
uow nn the work of getting ready for
the first annual fair of Morrow coun
ty will be pushed with vigor and made
a complete success.
