H. Hoffman and his corps of teachers are bootslng the attendance of the National Edu cational Association which will be held In Portland in July. They have mailed hundreds of copies of the following letters to teachers out side of the state: Heppner, Oregon March 21, 1917 Dear Friend: Because of the National Educa tional Association meeting In Port land July 7 to 14, an excuse for this letter is afforded. I extend to you a cordial invita tion to be present. When the con vention is over we would like to have yon spend the remainder of the Sum mer in our big playground, the Paci fic Northwest. The' climate is per fect, our scenic attractions are not only beautiful but unusual as com pared with other sections of the United States, and our historic places will be found to have much' interest for those visitors who want to know how the civilization of the great West is being constructed. , Portland is making extensive pre parations to entertain you. After ward you can play on the seashore, on the glaciers of our snow capped mountains, or our inland lakes or drive over the magnificent scenio highways. We want you ot come. Rooms may be secured by dropping a letter to the Secretary of the N. E. A. Committee at Portland, Mr. Mark Woodruff. You can do your normal work at any one of 12 fine schools. Sincerely yours. Most of the teachers of the local school are planning to attend the Association and if all parts of the state will do as much as Heppner, the success of this meeting will bo assured. t Gets Top Prices For Cattle. C. A. Minor shipped a car of prime beef cattle from Cecil the past week to the Portland' market getting $9.70 straight for them. This was the top price, the nearest to it being $9.60. Mr. Minor has had a very successful season in the Cecil section, his cat tle and sheep coming through the winter in fine shape. At the pre sent time he is in the midst of lamb ing and is getting a large per cen tage. His neighbor, Jack Hynd, is also meeting with great success and reaping a large per centage of lambs. The weather down Cecil way if warm and pleasant and grass is coming fine on the hills. Mr. Minor will begin lambing this coming week on his up per ranches and Is somewhat dubious as to the results, owing to the pre sent weather conditions. The foot hills are still covered with snow and the prospects for the flockmasters up this way are not very flattering. I WANT LAND TO SELL TO THE 31 BUYERS WHO WILL BEGIN , TO ARRIVE.

Mr. Smouse was closing up a deal for the Milt Down ing half section of land purchased re cently, and he will now become more extensively engaged, in wheat raising than ever. Messrs. Smith and Smouse are now operating their Caterpillar engine, running the ma chine just as long each day as the weather will permit. It has been freezing some during the night out that way and turning too cold by 10 o'clock at night, compelling them to stop operations at that time. The machine Is doing fine work and two shifts will be put on, working day and night Just as soon as the freezing stops. 4rV V Sofa Most Beautiful CarinImericxt HERE is the newest, the largest, the most spacious member of the incomparable Family "The Most Beautiful Car in America."

There is a strong demand for hay for many outside points, the pro tracted winter having exhausted the supply in many of the outside counties. Hay raisers on lower Wil low creek are being called upon and some alfalfa has been shipped out of Cecil and other points in that vicinity so we are informed; the hay going to the Portland market. The demand has stimulated the price to an appre ciable extent. Baker and Grant county stockmen were reported in our last issue to be suffering severe losses on account of hay shortage, and to date the situation has now been relieved. Reports of severe losses come from Klamath county, also, and there seems to be no way of relieve! ng the situation so long as the present unfavorable weather conditions prevail. Ie Severely Cut. Robert Worden, a young man in the employ of N. F. Lawson, was brought down to town by Mr. Law son on Monday forenoon, suffering severe injury to his left leg. Worden was busy doing some slashing on the Lawson (arm when his axe was de flected by coming in contact with a limb above his head, and the force of the stroke was landed on his left leg just above the ankle. The cut was a bad one and required the at- tenlon of a physician who took seve ral stitches to bring the wound to gether. Mr. Worden's home Is In Bellingham, Wash., and he has been at work for Mr. Lawson for some time. The Federated Church. The topic for the morning sermon will be, "The Second Command ment." Evening: "God's Use of ; the Commonplace." I If you want churches in the com munity do your part to make them successful by making it a practice to attend their services. You are most cordially invited to attend. H. A. NOYES, Pastor. An Unshackled Senate. By adopting the cloture rule the United States senate has at last freed Itself from the shackles that bound It hand and foot. It is now a repre sentative body with power to act, and vote as it may decide for itself, no longer subject to the tyranny which it permitted a handful of ob structionists to exercise. : Three senators voted against the cloture rule-La Follette, Gronna and Sherman all pro-Americans. On the final issue they stood alone in the entire senate. By their un-Ameri-canism, by their disloyalty to the government to which as citizens and senators they owe allegiance, they have won a secure place in the mem ory of the American people. They have proved untrustworthy in time of national emergency and the brand of disgrace is indelible. New York World. Sixteen Million Movie Fans. It is estimated that where two years ago 10,000,000 persons viewed the films each day now there are 16, 000,000, of whom one-fifth are child ren under sixteen. This makes an annual gross receipt by the exhibitors throughout the United States of about $584,000,000.-Woman's Home Companion. Owing to the worst car shortage of the season the Heppner Wood Yard has been unable to get lump coal. There has not been a car west from Rock Springs in two weeks and the situation has become acute. We are still making every effort to get lump coal, although at the present time we have on hand a good supply of nut coal. , coal. N. A. CLARK.
