Will Discuss Future of Apple Packing Methods Spokane, Wash., October 26. In what kind of package is the north western apple to be marketed in the future? Orchard men and marketing ex perts have been deoating that ques tion for a long time, and a definite step toward its solution is to be taken at the ninth National Apple show, to be held here in Spokane November 20 to25. A special contest for new containers is announced for the ap ple show, and a gold medal is to be awarded to the winner. This competion will be open to re ceive entries ot cartons and small special boxes designed to sell extra fancy fruit to the eastern trade, and will Include also the extra large boxes small barrels and other containers suggested for the purpose of moving the lower grades of fruit to nearby l, - v - t0 i maraeis. Tills award is to be made because of the growing feeling in some of the districts that an even more fancy package will have to be offered for some of the extra-fancy fruit and that a cheap container must be pro vlded for nearby markets in order to cheapen the cost ot packing.

We do not propose to tolerate any improper inter ference with American commerce, with American mails, or with legitimate commercial intercourse. We do not propose to tolerate that any American who is exercising only American rights shall be put on any blacklist by any nation.

Statement made by Governor Hughes in his ad dress in Philadelphia on October 9th. LOCAL TEAM MEETS CRUSHING DEFEAT Jim CoKsuian's Warriors From lone School Show Superior Training and Team Work in First Game, Running Up 20 to O Score . Against Heppner. Speed and team work was a com bination which proved to strong for the Heppner high school aggregation at the depot grounds In this city last Saturday afternoon, when the local jboys met the lone warriors In the first game of the season. Superior training on the part of lone was clearly shown throughout the game, although all the 'scoring took place in the first half of the game, lone rushing the ball down the field at a rapid rate for three suc cessive touchdowns. The lone back field is much heavier than that of the local team, although the line men appear to be a stand off in weight. The speedy charging backs of the visiting team running usually behind a perfect interference was more than the home boys could successfully cope with. From the time the game started, quarterback Sperry of the visitors began a series of shift formations which was the cause of worry on the part of Hepp ner. Cossman has developed a re markable team and the only wonder isthat the green, inexperienced poorly coached team from the local institu tion was able to keep the score from soaring much higher. The fight and bull dog spirit displayed by the home boys, especially in the last two quar ters of the game, was remarkable and they showed a fighting quality which 'will spell victory in the games that are to come later In the season, af ter they have become more experinc- ed and better trained. The next game of the interscholas tlc league will be played in Lexing ton Saturday afternoon between the high school of that city and Heppner high school. All thed ope at the pre sent time favors Heppner, although the strength ot Lexington is little known. The game will be called for 2:30 o'clock and a large number ot local rooters will go down for the contest. Local Bakery Raises Price For Bread As a result of the rapid raise in the price of flour, superinduced by high prices for wheat, the Heppner Bakery has announced that hereafter they are compelled to charge 5 cents straight tor bread. Heretofore it was their custom to sell six loaves for twenty five cents. While flour is the essential ingredient in the making of bread, the rising cost of sugar, lard and yeast has also been a factor In raising the price of bread. Should wheat continue to go up, thereby in creasing cost of flour, It Is not unlikely that bakeries will be forced to make further increases In charges for all food stuffs which they sell.

John "Watermelon" Reddlngton. many, many years ago, editor of the Heppner Gaxeztte, is now doing big press stuff at the San Diego Exposi tion, ne is puousning a paper call ed "The '49 Camp News" and the en tire periodical is riven nvr tn th publishing of Mining news. The news nas oat little value outside of its power to entertain. All the stories are based on '49 mining days with present day improvements. Several of the stories in the "News" Sotfild InlghtT familiar. -ud iim.J the names come pretty near home. Here is one ol Mr. Reddfngton's news Items, and it is a fair sample of what the entire edition contains It i entitled, "Down A WeU." "There are times when if yon go down a well that is deep enough, you can look up and see stars in broad day light. When Myles McKelvy and Jim Neville went over to deepen Nelse JoneV denn wrII nn RmlrnoV Bottom they put in a cople ot shots and Jim went down to fill the bucket telling Myles not to null no until h gave the signal.

Jim Was still the all rteht on Tio had forgotten to take down his climb ing irons to come up a 90 ft. wall. The enSUine fnnvernatinn hotajonn these two frontiersmen was rather sarcastic and approaching the bonds of personality, but when Jim's word was out that he would not shoot My les, he was hoisted up in the bucket, and they both went back to the brew erv to make hot-air aettleniBnt nt the war and said to let Nelse Jones' old wen go to grass, and what did he want with water anyway, while there was so much beer in the coun try?" The paper is evidently issued to nromuleatfl intercut in tha '10 oamn at the Panama-California Exposition, a reproduction of the typical mining days of 1849. Many of the stories published by the editor are of interest locally on account of the names and settlings given to the stories. Char acters well known in Heppner 25 years ago are given prominence in many ot the articles. Heppner Library Will Have Children's Hour Miss Edith Thorley, librarian of the Heppner Library wishes to announce that there will be a free Children's Story Hour every Saturday afternoon from 2:30 to 8:30 o'clock, for child ren ranging from 6 to 10 years.

Dr. Allison returned by the way of Ar lington, where he had left his car. He made the trip between Arlington and Heppner in just three hours of actual running time. He considers this good time in view of the fact that there is little or no road most of the way." UNIQUE PLOT IS FEA- TURE OF STAR DRAMA Patrons of moving picture dramas .re geting tired of the hackneyed plots based upon the eternal triangle where two men love the same woman or In rare cases where two women love the same man. This Theme is as old as the ages and judging from many recent film productions has about become worn out from constant repetition. A dramatic version of this theme that is unique in the an nals of motion photography is seen in the Mutual Masterpicture De Luxe Edition "According to Law," a five act emotional drama produced by Gaumont which will appear at the Star Theatre next Sunday. This powerful story is one which will have an universal appeal for it is not a story of inexperienced youth but of the Btronger and more tense love of a mature couple of which the wife is the weaker vessel so engrossed in her round of social gaieties that she will not have children. The tale is griping and forceful and reach- s a much needed moral. Robert Bland a successful business man drifts from his wife Isabel, a so cial butterfly, because she refuses U become a mother while he desires children. A divorce is granted to the wife and the husband embittered at the world betakes himself to the Florida everglades. Isabel goes to their winter home on an island oft the coast of Florida. Through the intervention of a friend unknowingly Bland and his wife are brought to gether and each realizes that a great mistake has been made. A reconciliation is effected. A year later Isabel dies on giving birth to a baby girl. Twenty years elapse and Bland and his daughter Isabel are living In the everglades The elder Bland is strick en and while seeking aid for her fath er Isabel meets her cousin Ralph and his friend Austin. Bland dies and the newhew Ralph endeavors to de fraud Isabel of her heritage but is prevented by Austin who saves the property and claims Isabel for his bride. Mildred Goegory one of the most beautiful and accomplished screen stars is featured in this production. Her role is an exacting one in which she Is called upon to display her re markable powers of emotional ex pression. She is called the queen of emotional film artists and her work in this picture merits this description. She is ably supported by Howard Hall the noted legitimate star who makes his debut in pictures in this tense drama. LOSS OF SHEEP IS EE State Veterinarian W. H. Lytle Tells How Animals May Become Poison ed While Being Brought From Summer Range. (By W. H. Lytle, State Veterinarian.) The majority of sheep troubles seen of late in Morrow county have been intimately associated with eith er poisonous plants, particularily Lu pine, Alkili, or overloading followed by heavy drinking of water. There has also been an occasional death due to what would seem to be Hemor rhagic Septicemia, this is an Infection similar to swine plague in hogs and attracts primarily the lungs when seen in sheep. This infection no doubt has been set up by certain sheep drinking - of highly stagant water and breathing dust. The large losses have resulted from an over feeding of lupine, this plant be longs to the same botlcanical fam ily as the clovers and alfalfa and is of such a nature that under certain conditions a violatile poison. This same condition is seen in clover and alfalfa. Sheep when they are fam ished and have been forced to go long without sufficient feed, if turned in on any of the clovers or alfalfa will become poisoned. This poison ing is greatly lntensifyed if the ani mals are afterward allowed to drink freely of water. This also holds true In feeding lupine. It must be remembered that only certain con ditions will produce poisoning front lupine, these are generally speaking allowing' sheep to graze on lupine forage when animals are hot and hungry and when the forage is taken in on an empty stomach. Even In this condition sheep will not suffer greatly if water is witheld from them for six hours or more. The juices of the stomach seem to neutralize the lupine poisoning but when water is taken into the stomach the digestive juices are neutralized and diluted and fermentation and other disease pro ducing processes take place. Sheep owners could protect them selves by herding carefully, the North and East slopes of the hills should be avoided until late in the day. It is on these slopes that the green lupine s found. The West slopes while con taining the plant here it is dried and the seed pods have opened and the seeds which are poisonous have fallen to the ground. Either the beans from the mature plant or the green leaves from the plant at flowering time are the most dangerous. As an antidote Potassium Permanganate (a red powder) diluted in water in amounts of five to eight grains will often relieve the animal if it is given early. Poisonings that result from the bean seem to be more se vere and frequently will not respond. Th whole intestinal tract often seems to be paralized and hence only oils and salts will be of any benefit in this condition. Treatment is not satisfactory and prevention from eating large quanti ties of the plant will prove the more effective. Sheep when returned from the mountains should either be graz ed on the south and west slopes or they should be penned and fed hay for a few days filling them up well in the morning before turning them out. Green plants of any kind are dangerous to sheep when they have gone long without food as they en gorge themselves and often impac tions of the third stomach results from eating too much coarse food. Some losses have resulted from this cause here in Morrow county. The past summer has been favorable for troubles of the plant poisoning na ture and sheep owners should be carefull until the flocks become ac customed to the range. Returns From Seattle Land Show. W. W. Smead returned Sunday evening from Seattle where he had taken the Morrow county exhibit to the Land Products Show. Mr. Smead brough home the third prize, con sisting of $100 for this class of ex hibit. Brothers Take To Buicks. The Padberg brothers are now an all Buick family.
