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.

GOVERNOR HUGHES DECLARES
HIS INTERNATIONAL POLICY
Will Not Tolerate Any Interference With U. S. Mails,
Property of Commerce.
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. We propose to protect American lives, American
property and American trade, according to our just rights
under international law.
And I say in Philadelphia what I said in Milwaukee,
that we have no intrigues, no unstated purposes, no secret
understandings. We stand f or the interests of the United
States and its interests alone, four-square to the world,
first, last, and all the time.
Now, that is not a policy of war. That is a policy
of peace. 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.

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

The paper is evidently issued to

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

acters well known in Heppner 25
years ago are given prominence in
many ot the articles.

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.
