Evangelistic Meetings.
Great interest is being manifested
in the meetings now in progress at
the Christian Church. Tho crowds
are steadily crowing and the interest
deepening. Thus far 17 have respond
ed to the invitation.
The boys are a sutprise to every
one who hears them. The "Boy
Evangelist" is preaching a series of
sermons that have never been sur
passed, at least in recent years, in
our town. They are full of instruc
tion, enthusiasm scripture and earnest
ness. No matter how long he preaches
one never grows weary of listening to
him. James McCallnm, the singer is
certainly making good. He is
accomplishing almost the impossible
in getting together and maintaining
a large chorus, on one end of the plat
form he has a children's chorus and
on the other an adult chorus, about
40 altogether. His solos each even
ing are very fine.
. The evangelist has announced the
following subjects and yon will be the
looser if you fail to hear him.
"Hydrosoteiism."
"A Modil Case of Conversion."
"What la it to Believe in Christ."
"The Change of Heart."
"The Great Restoration."
"Hell."
"Constanoy In Well Doing."
Manual Training In Our
Schools.
Some time ago I wrote In favor of
placing manual trhining and domestic
science in the high school curriculum
of Morrow county. I mentioned that
this could be aooomplished at very
small cost tf the schools of Heppner,
lone and Lexington would combine on
the subjects and divide tha time of an
instructor between the three schools.
These aie sabjects which are fast
gaining in our schools, not through
the push of anv book company, but
because fathers and mothers are ask
ing that their children have this train
ing wlcb holda such an important
place in life's work. The training
which these subjects give most come
from something, otherwise the child
goes through life as a cripple. Should
you visit all the homes of Morrow
county, I dare say vou would find the
proofs of many crippled children
homes only such in name and barren
of all attractions, because the wife.
as a child, had no one to bring oat
her talent, and tarm machinery on the
waste pile because the owner could not
"nail two boards together." At a
rule these disabilities must be banded
down to the next generation unless
the community, through the eohool
gives the instruction.
Just as agriculture has crowded into
the course of study, so will manual
training and domestic science in a
very short time. Why should we
wait until we are forced to receive
them? The Bcbool that counts is the
school that pulls instead of being
pushed.
Some Oil Reductions.
At Heppner Garage: Gasoline in
cases of 10 gallons. $2.75; Eocene
coil oil, per case, $2 40; Pearl oil
per case $2 15. These prices will
prevail until further notioe.

Snows CutOff Feed.
Stanfield Ore.. Deo. 20 The recent

. Soap and a King.
Soap used to provide King James
I. with a comfortable addition to
his income. That canny monarch
granted the company of soapmakers
of Westminster the monopoly for
the making of soap in England in
return for the payment of $30 a
ton on all soap produced. The im
portation of soap was forbidden, and
officers were appointed to deal with
illicit soap boiling, its mnnufacture
even in private houses for domestic
purposes being punishable by heavy
penalties. Moreover, a proclama
tion was issued that "the soap made
by the company is good, sweet and
serviceable for our people." The
annual revenue derived by the king
from this source amounted to about
$150,000.
Floorwalker Meant Well.
Teased into it, Jones had gone
with his wile on an excursion to
the realm of bargains, and in the
grat building with its many de
partments he had become separat
ed from his better half. For an
hour at least lie remained lounging
impatiently at the junction of many
ways, where lifts, stairs and passen
gers met, and then, tired and angry,
he approached the shopwalker.
"Sir," lie said to the frockcoated
and suave attendant in tones of
righteous indignation, "I've lost my
wife." "Thir.d floor and over the
bridge for the mourning depart
ment!" came the repty, with stun
ning force. Cardiff Western Mail.
Steel Best For Mine Timbering.
By the use of steel in place of
wood for mine timbering, waste due
to decay, framing and Otting, fire
and insects is entirely overcome,
6ays Coal Age. Steel mine timbers
also call for less excavation, cost
less to erect, have a greater endur
ance and tend toward better venti
lation. While the first cost of steel
is nearly twice that of the wood
used for timbering, the ultimate
cost is lower, as steel lasts much
longer. It can be used again and
again, and if crushed it has a sal
vage value.
8everal Officials.
