FUNERAL DIRECTOR
Phone Residence Heppner, Oregon
It has long been the honored cus
tom of our people to turn hi the
fruitful Autumn of the year in praise
and thanksgiving to Almighty God
for his many blessings and mercies to
us as a Nation. The year that is now
drawing to a close since we last ob
served our day of National thanks
giving has been, while a year of dis
cipline because of the mighty forces
of war and of changes whicli have
disturbed the world, also a year of
special blessing for us.
Another year of peace has been
vouchsafed us; another year in which
not only to take thought of our duty
to ourselves and to mankind, but also
to adjust ourselves to the many re
sponsibilities thrust upon us by a war
which has involved almost the whole
of Europe.
We have been able to assert our
rights and the rights of mankind
without breach of friendship with the
great nations with whom we have
had to deal, and while we have assert
ed rights, we have been able also to
perform duties and exercise privil
eges of succor and helpfulness which
should serve to demonstrate our de
sire to make the offices of friendship
the means of truly disinterested and
unselfish service.
Our ability to serve all who could
avail themselves of our services in
the midst of a crisis, has been in
creased by a gracious Providence, by
more and more abundant crops; our
ample financial resources have en
abled us to steady the markets of the
world and facilitate necessary move
ment of commerce which the war
might otherwise have rendered im
possible; and our people have come
more and more to a sober realization
of the part they have been called up
on to play in a time when all the
world is shaken by unparalleled dis
tresses and disasters.
The extraordinary circumstances
of such a time have done much to
quicken our National consciousness
and deepen and confirm our confi
dence in the principlos of peace and
freedom by which we have, always
sought to be guided.
Out of darkness and perplexities
have come firmer counsels of policy
and clearer perceptions of the essen
tial warfare of the Nation. We have
prospered while other people were at
war, but our prosperity has been
vouchsafed us, we believe, only that
we might the better perform the
functions which war rendered it im
possible for them to perform.
Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wil
son, President of the United States of
America, do hereby designate Thurs
day, the twenty-fifth of November
next, as a day of Thanksgiving and
prayer, and invite the people
throughout the land to cease from
their wonted occupations and in their
several homes and places of worship
render thanks to Almighty God.

"You Can't Raise Corn"
in the Northwest. But corn is grown here good corn, small cobs
deep kernels, solid ears, and plenty bushels per acre.
Every farmer every, live stock owner
every dairyman knows what corn means
Whether or not you know that corn is a successful crop in this country,

Oregon lleef Outlook as Viewed hy
Fxpert.
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor-
vallis, Nov. 8. The supply of mar
ketable beef has been cleaned up
early and with remarkable thoro'i ill
ness, the feature of the trade being
large eastern shipments. This re
verses the conditions of the last three
years in which heavy shipments of
beef were made into Oregon from
points as far' east as the Rocky
Mountains. This condition encourag
ed increased production in Oregon
and growers confronted the condition
of U'.rge bodies of marketable stuff
with coast markets demanding It-sn
than usual. Hence the shipment;;
cast, which went largely to Omaha
and Kansas City.
The present situation, summed up
by Professor E. L. Potter, head of
the Agricultural College Animal Hus
bandry department, is that local
prices of marketable beef are a little
lower than normal and prices of lead
ers considerably lower. This fact
has caused the eastern shipments.
The degree of the local depression is
shown by a comparison of prices of
feeders for the last three years, which
were as follows: Prices of feeders two
years ago were $6.75, one year ago,
$6.25 to $6.50 and this year, $5.75.
This was for good stuff near railway
shipping points.
Only small lots of feeders are going
Into the feeding grounds of Eastern
Oregon and other livestock districts,
since feeders lost money the last two
years and are unwilling to take
chances this year. Feed is scarce and
pastures light, due to light rainfalls
and rather poor hay crops. Prevail
ing growing conditions are usually
followed by late growing weather the
following spring, so that the feeding
season is likely to be prolonged at
both ends.
"Notwithstanding these facts,"
said Professor Potter, "hay prices re
main about normal, the lack of de
mand for fattening about balancing
the light crops and rather heavy sup
ply of stock cattle on hand. There
will probably be no big supply for the
Portland market In the next few
months, but the demand for meat is
slow and western buyers will proba
bly be willing to get on with rather
less than the usual until the demand
improves."

SIXTH GRADERS COMPOSE
The Heppner Lght & Water Com
pany has completed the work of wir
ing both lone and Lexington, but a
delay in turning on the current has
been caused by the failure of the
transformers to arrive.
The pupils of the sixth grade of
the Heppner public school, under the
direction of their teacher, Mrs. C. W.
Shurte, have been delving into the
realms of poetry in connection with
their language work. We print here
with one of their first attempts at
this style of literature.
SUMMER DAYS.
The happy days have come, the glad
dest of the year,
Of sparkling brooks and darting
trout, berries red and queer.
Deep in the hollow of the woods the
summer flowers are found,
They are plucked hy all the passers
by and carried to camping grounds.
The robin and the dove have come,
their nest to build on high,
Among the trees they feel so safe
and never have to sigh.
Where are the roses, the sweet smell
ing roses that the wind tosses to
and fro?
The brightest colors, the sweetest
scents, the prettiest flowers that
grow.
Why they are just budding, this gen
tle race of flowers,
They are going to blossom soon npain
in this June month of ours.
The sun is shining where they stand,
the gentle rain drops down.
And the automobiles with their honk
remind us of the spell,
We hurry then to pack our trunks
and count our surplus wealth.
We're glad to find we have enough
and so can improve our health.
And so we meet our frieuds down by
the ocean side,
Those whom perhaps for years we
have not been beside.
We ate out lunch upon he beach and
fed the sea gulls there,
We wached the tide go in and out as
we sat on the sand so bare.
The time to leave comes all too soon,
but when we thought of home,
We said goodbye with a pleasant
smile
And hied away from the foam.
The Star theater management an
nounce that Charlie Chaplin will ap
pear as a special feature each week
on ednesday and Thursday and again
again on Sunday night. The Mutual
Weekly of current events will also
prove interesting to the movie fans.
J. E. Craber, who recently under
went an operation tor appendicitis
at the Heppner Sanatorium, has Im
proved greatly. He was removed this
week to the home of his father-in-law
Dan Rice, in north Heppner.
Miss Kitty Wilmot, of lone, ar
rived in the city Monday evening to
help nurse Mrs. Pearl Hendry, who is
very ill at the Heppnr sanatorium.
A son was born to Mr. and ' Mrs.
Guy Boyer at their rarm home on
Hinton creek last Friday.
A. J. Hunt and wife were Heppner
visitors last Saturday from Clarks
canyon.
