ENJOYS SOCIAL EVENING
Doric Lodge No. 20, K. of P. had
a very pleasant social evening at
their castle hall in I. Q. 0. F.
building on Tuesday evening, at
'which time a number of members of
the order, their ladies and many
invited guests were present to enjoy
the program and partake," of light
refreshments.
Addresses were made by Rev. H.
A. Noyes and Rev. Franfc A. Andrews,
each speaker dwelling largely upon
the beneficent work of the fraternities.-
W. C. Worstell, a brother
Knight, of Lexington, was the main
speaker to have appeared on the
program, but he was prevented from
attending, so Revs. Noyes and
Andrews were called upon rather
unexpectedly but made good talks on
the subject, nevertheless.
Orchestra music was furnished by
Ray Cochran, J. W. Godfrey, Mrs.
C. L. Sweek and Miss Leona Leach.
A chorus consisting of Mesdames
Cochran, Turner, Misses Lane, Cason
and Messrs. Cochran and Clark
rendered a splendid selection, and
there were vocal solos by Mrs.
Chester Darbee, Miss Gladys Lane
and Miss Zelma Engelman, and
xylaphone solos by Miss Leona Leach,
of Lexington, all of which gives an
estimate of the high class of the
musical part of the entertainment.
W. W. Smead was also one of the
principal performers on the program
and it fell to his lot to administer
"punishment" to a member of the
order who had transgressed the
rules recently by committing matrl-
money without first having informed
his brethren of his serious intentions.
After some explanation of. the
seriousness of the offense, the
Master at Arms was instructed to
bring Mr. John MacAnally to the
front that he might be reprimanded
in due form, and considering that
Mrs. MacAnally was equally guilty,
she was also brought up beside her
husband, whereupon Mr. Smead, in
a few well chosen words, presented
them with a beautiful silver bread
tray on behalf of the lodge, as a
token of esteem in which they were
held by the members and expressed
to them hearty congratulations and
best wishes for their future. Mr.
and Mrs. MacAnally received their
"sentence" amid a confusion of
smiles and blushes and were then
heartily congratulated by those
present.
Following this refreshments of ice
cream and wafers were served,
B. R. Huston returned home on
Thursday last from a visit of several
dayB at the home of his father, John
Huston at Albany. The senior Mr.
Huston has been in very poor health
of late, the result of on attack of
Influenza.

Clark M. Smith, missionary of the
American Sunday School Union, was
In Morrow county last week, and he
gives us the following account of two
Sunday Schools organized while he
was here.
Great interest in the welfare of the
community was shown Sunday,
April 27, when twenty-six people
met for a service in the Rugg dis
trict on Rhea creek and expressed
themselves as anxious to have a Sun-j
day school. The following were
elected as officers:
A. L. Prtmo, superintendent.
R. S. Mcclimans, assistant supt.
Miss Rose Stephens, secretary.
Miss Verna McCllmans, 'librarian. !
In the afternoon an attendance
of twenty-one in the Mattison district
Just as enthusiastically expressed
themselves as desiring a Sunday
school in a like service, and the fol
lowing were elected officers:
Mrs. Charlotte Brown, supt.
Mrs. E. Mattison, assistant supt.
Miss Freda Brown, secretary.
Miss Orplia Hogeland, librarian.
The boys and girls of these com
munities huvo shown great anxiety
for the Sunday school and we surely
owe it to thenPas older ones to give
it to them. This was so clearly
shown when in another district n
opportunity was given but no one
to suprelntend the school could be
found, even though all the boys and
girls expressed themselves in a vote
as wanting a Sunday school, and
afterward one boy said "why couldn't
we have a Sunday school here." Any
assistance in way of visits to these
schools will be appreciated.
In the game between the Moro and
Heppner schools on the Heppner
grounds last Friday afternoon, the
former won In a ten inning game,
8 to 7. Tho day was anything but
pleasant for the ball players the con
testants having to battle with wind
and dust as well as with their op
ponents, and the bad weather con
ditions also made it very unpleasant
for the fans. The contest was a
close one all the way through, though
Heppner lead off well in the begin
ning and seemed to have fair pros
pects of winning. She was weak,
however In the field, and it was there
the home team fell down. Moro
played a winning garni with the
lone team on Saturday. At the high
school building on Friday evening
the student body entertained the
Moro ball players In royal style,
forgetting and drowning their dls-l
appointment on loslug the game, in
the pleasures of the'evenlng.
Auto Goes Into Ditch.
While trying out his automobile
Tuesday, afternoon, G. F. Steel,
jeweler at lone, met with an accident
that might have proven very serious.
He was returning to lone from a
fun up towards Lexington and had
Lcrossed the bridge near the McMillan
place and attempted to take the hill
beyond without changing gears,
when the engine went dead and the
machine backed down and off the
bridge into the ditch, a fall of about
six feet and the car turned over on
Mr. Steel. He got out with a broken
wrist and some minor bruises. The
car he was driving Is a Paige and he
had Just secured it the day before,
hence he was not very familiar with
handling the machine.
