Portland, who was In Heppner the
first ot the week, was successful in
signing our citizens up (or a Ly
ceum Course here this winter.
Although backed by a committee ot
business men the active management
of the course will be in the hands
of the high school, and there can be
no doubt as to Us success. In for
mer years the high school has man
aged the lyceum course and came
out ahead financially.
The course this year will consist
ot five numbers, all of which are of
the highest order. It Is exceed
ingly well balanced and consists ot
the following:
The Cordovas, a muBicrfl company
of several people, each of whom is
an artist ot rare ability.
Bees Gearheart Morrison, imper
sonator and reader. Miss Morrison
gave an entertainment here several
years ' ago, and at that time was
pronounced the best in her lino that
had ever come to Heppner. All who
heard her at that time are very
enthusiastic over the prospect ot
getting her here again.
The Warwlcks will present a
musical program.
A number which Is attracting
great attention In of.ier places is the
entertainment by Lyons, the Mark
Twain lecturer. He presents a hum
orous lecture, interspersed with
selections from the books of
America's famous humorist.
The Ward Waters Company Is a
musical and dramatic aggregation
and their entertainment is highly
recommended. They present a
mixed program of a high order.
The programs will be given at the
High School auditorium and In a
short time a committee will go out
(or the purpose of signing up those
who desire season tickets.
Visit Greenhorn Mines.
Mr. and Mrs. Silas Wright and
Jack McCullough returned Tuesday
evening from a trip to the Green
horn mountains, where they went to
Inspect the Dan Stalter mine, in
which they are Interested. Accord
ing to Mr. McCullough the mine is
making a splendid Bhowing this
summer, and ore samples brought
back by him show good values In
gold, silver and copper.
There has been a force of men at
work most ot the summer under the
direction of Dan Stalter, president
and general manager of the com
pany, but owing to the scarcity of
labor In that part, of the country
for the putting up of the hay crop,
the crew was given a layoff to assist
the farmers.
The property has been put on a
producing basis and It Is expected
that several cars of ore will be
shipped out this fall. A number o(
Morrow county people are Interested
In this mine.

FOOD NOTES.
The present outlook Indicates that
there must be greater economy
practiced in the use of sugar by
some people or there will be many
who will be without sugar in any
quantity. It is selfish and unpatri
otic to use sugar extra vagently. If
every person in the United States
who uses coffee or tea would use a
half teaspoonful less in each cup,
there would be a saving of 1,700,000
pounds per day.
The administration urges more
canning without sugar. The fruit
may not suit the taste quite so well
to put the sugar in when it is used
later, but the user will feel better
about it if he realizes that he has
helped the fighting nen to win the
war. There should also be more
drying of fruits and vegetables.
Send to the Department of Agricul
ture for Farmers' Bulletin No. 984
or to the Agricultural College for
bulletin on drying of fruits and
vegetables. These bulletins will give
you a lot of very valuable informa
tion. A cafeteria in Wasatuiji n, which
feeds 2000 persons itutly, uses only
one pound of sugar for each 120
meals. The allowance now is one
pound for 45 meals. So, this record
Is far inside the limit and shows
what can be done, If people try.
The 50-60 rule as to flour is still
effective, except that retail dealers
and mills may sell graham and
whole wheat flour made before
August 1st without substitutes, if
they first send a statement of the
amount of such flour In stock to the
Food Administrator.
In writing for permits, do not
wait until the last minute and writo
a rush letter. The county food ad
ministrator has no help, and it takes
a large part of Ms time to look after
the work; hence it is not possible to
always send permits by return mail.
S. E. NOTSON,
County Food Administrator.
Heppner, Oregon, Aug. 14, 1918.
To our Friends and Patrons:
We take this method of thank
ing our friends and patrons for their
many favors and kindnesses so cheer
fully extended to us during the last
thirteen years. . Time will not per
mit us calling to see you all for we
expect to be in tlr City about 10
days longer and "during this time
our doors are wide open and trust
that we may have the pleasure of
seeing you all before leaving the
City.
We love Morrow county and shall
consider Heppner our .home' regard
less of where we locate.
Our hearts hang heavy with
sorrow for all those who have so
recently lost their homes and prop
erty by fire, and trust that all will
soon rebuild and make Heppner a
real City, Bigger and Better than
ever.
Again thanking you one and all
and assuring you of our gratitude
and wishing you Happiness, Pros
perity and Good Luck, we bid you
good bye.

Returns From the East.
Harry Duncan, head of the dry
goods department at Thomson Bros.'
store, returned Sunday evening from
an extensive trip through the East.
Mr. Duncan went from here to
Atlantic City where he attended the
convention of the Elks' lodge. From
there he visited various points In
New York and New Jersey and on
his return journey visited Chicago,
Rochester, and Butte. While in
Minnesota he visited for a short time
with Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Vaughn who
are spending the summer in that
state. It was there that Mr. Duncan
first heard of the disastrous fire
which scarred us up some on the 4th.
He had a delightful trip and says
the only drawback was the extreme
heat, the worst of which he exper
ienced at Chicago. At that place It
was as high as 104.
Fire Company Proves Worth,
In the small fire which started In
the building just north of the post
office Friday afternoon, Heppner's
new fire department fully demon
strated its efficiency. But a few
minutes after the alnrm was given
the cart was at the fire, the connec
tion made at the hydrant and the
water was playing on the fire. There
was no hitch or bobble and every
thing went as though regulated by
clockworks. The building is occu
pied by Mrs. Wilhelmina Macy who
conducts o cleaning and pressing
business, and the fire was caused
by the overheating of a metal chim
ney which goes up through the
second story. Little damage was
done.
Stork Shipped.
F. M. Beck shipped two cars of
cattle to Portland from the local
yards Wednesday. Today V. Gentry
Is shipping tour cars ot sheep to

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Cochran visited
in Heppner the past week. Mr.
Cochran is now a member of the U.
S. Navy, stationed at Seattle and he
says It is a fine life. Mrs. Cochran
has been visiting relatives at Grants
Pass, North Yakima and Seattle, and
will probably accompany her bus
band to Seattle when he returns to
duty.
Pig Is Money Maker.
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Turner re
cently butchered a pig, which
weighed, when dressed, 140 pounds.
Four months ago this same pig
weighed but 5 pounds. In the four
months the feed for the porker cost
but $5.00. With pork now selling
at 35 cents per pound, it is easy to
see that this pig was a money maker
for the Turner family.

At a business meeting of the fire

decided to ask the City Council to
purchase six rubber hats and coats
for the department. These are
ncttdwl as protection for the nozzle
men. who are forced to be in the
water a great part of the time when
fighting fire. Another request to be
made on the council will be that
they pass an .ordinance prohibiting
the parking of automobiles within
25 fuel ul the fire hydrants. When
cars am? parked nearer than 25 feet
to tiie hydrant they interfere in
getting the hose connected.
Military Police Active.

Oregon Military Police, are a busy
biuu-ii of fellows now days. Besides
their regular patrol work, which
thoroughly covers the county, they
are now engaged in keeping the
fanners with hands, and are active
m keeping down all labor troubles
and disputes. The Military Police is
a muc-b needed organization and the
fact that they are here nnd prepared
to meet any emergency that may
arise does away with a great deal of
uneasiness on the part of the farm
ers, and tends to a great extent to
subfile those who might be inclined
to practise any pro-Gerniau activities.
15 EARLY HOR-"
ROW CO. PIONEER
J. M. White Came to Tlds County In
1883 Was One of Lexington's
Leading Citizens.
J. M. White pioneer resident of
Lexington, died Friday, August 9th,
1918, after a lingering illness cover
ing a period ot many months. The
funeral services were held from the
White home in Lexington, being in
charge of Rev. J. L. Jones, and In
terment was in I. O. O. F. cemetery
at Lexington.
Mr. White was born in Boone
county, Arkansas, February 18,
1860, and departed this life at Lex
ington, Oregon, August 9, 1913, at
the age ot 68 years, 8 months and
21 days. He was of pioneer par
entage, his parents John and Miner
va White following the frontier as
far as Arkansas, where the early
part of the deceased's life was spent.
After getting his education in the
public 'schools and Mountain Home
Academy of Baxter County, Ark.,
Mr. White, with his family, moved
to Oregon in April, 1884, stopping
at Milton. They spent but one year
at that place, after which Mr. White
took up a homestead near Lexington,
which was then a part of Umatilla
county, and upon this and other
possessions which he had acquired
from time to time in that locality, he
had resided' continuously, bending
every energy to the improvement of
his home and the community in
which he lived. Besides his chief
occupation of farming, which made
him one of the prosperous farmers
ot the Lexington country, he filled
the offices of constable, recorder and
Justice of the peace continuously
for twenty or more years, discharg
ing his duties with fairness, faithful
ness and magnanimity. Always In
terested in education, he was un
tiring in his efforts for the better
ment of his community and was re
spected and honored, by his friends
and neighbors.
Mr. White was married to Sarah
C. Nichols oh October 14, 1880, and
to this union five children were
born. They all survive him, and are:
Mrs. L. S. Gilbreath, of Dayton,
Wash., Mrs. J. E. Gentry, Claude J.
White, and Gerald White, all of
Lexington, Oregon.
Now Lieutenant Phelps.
Marshall Phelps, son of Mr. and
Mrs. A. M. Phelps of this city Is now
a lieutenant in the flying section of
the Signal Corps, the commission
being given him as a reward for
exceptional ability and marksman
ship with a machine gun. His par
ents have received word that he is
now in France, and he Is doing his
best to put the -.un in ah propi.r
place.
Marshall's rise in military life has
been very rapid, having enlisted In
the Marine Corps less than a year
ago. Because of his exceptional
ability with a machine gun he was
transferod from the Marine Corps to
the aviation section and sent to
Florida for training. There he
again demonstrated his ability and
his work as an air gunman won for
him the lieutenancy. He was chosen
is machine gun operator by a pilot,
said to be the most daring aviator
iu the Florida camp.
Attending Liberty Loan Conference.
E. M. Shutt, Morrow county chair
man for the 4th Liberty Loan drive,
went to Portland Wednesday morn
ing, where he Is attending the con
ference of county chairmen which is
being held at the Multnomah hotel
In that city today. The drive for
the 4th loan will start September
29th and will continue three weeks.
The quota for this county is ex
pected to be placed at nearly double
that of the 3rd loan, which was
$142,000, and Mr. Shutt is expectlug
to work hard to put it over. How
ever, he is confident that Morrow
county will go over the top with
time and money to spare.
Sunday afternoon Mr. Shutt will
board a. boat for Santa Moniea, Calif ,
for a visit with his family who have
been spending thfl sutiu;,er there.
He will return to Heppner in about
three weeks.
Codling moth worms are now at
tacking apples In many parts of Ore
gon, rendering thousands of dollars
worth of fruit worthless. A thor
ough spraying of the fruit with
lead arsenate, one pound dry or two
pounds paste to 50 gallons of water,
is recommended by he O. A. C. en
tomologists. Worms of all sizes
from the newly-hatched caterpillar
up, are now going into the fruit,
and the spray will do much to lessen
the Injury. Because of the unusual
attack of worms it may be necessary
to repeat the spray in about threo
weeks.
