ed as temporary chairman.
The temporary directors have pre
pared a budget calling for the amount
of btork to be sold In each district.
II has been agreed that Heppner will
(subscribe to $12,500 of the total am
ount, the balance to be distributed
throughout the county. In accordance
with previous plans, it has been de
cided to sell the stock for one-half
cash and one-half on notes at 8 per
cent due November 1, 1920.
Several farmers and busless men
have signed the option to buy the
vyightman tract below Heppner with
in 90 days, and as this time is rapid
ly passing, it Is Imperative, say the
directors, that all solicitors have their
quotas completed by the first of April.
It has been arranged for the soli
citors to place the funds Becured in
their nearest local bank, to the credit
of M. D. Clark, temporary chairman
of the Morrow County Fair Associa
tion. The temporary directors, re
cently chosen, are given full charge
of the campaign in their respective
localities. Liberty bonds will be ac
cepted at their face value In payment
for stock.
Under the present plan, Morrow
county will see practically the same
horses on the track that appear at
Salem and a great deal of the same
stock show. The local organization
has applied for membership In the
North Pacific Fair Association, which
in no hvny Interferes with local exhi
bitors, yet at the same time will bring
hero the same horses making the fair
circuit. It Is planned that the purse
offered for the races will be borne by
the entries so that the race meet will
not be a financial drain upon the as
sociation. It is also pointed out that
In view of the fact that a live local
hand Is now available, It will not be
necessary to send money outside for
music and that If the Fair is made a
live one, there twill be no need of ex
pending money on airships or like at
tractions. Present at the meeting Saturday

listening to a discussion of the possi
bilities and the plans more or less
feasible for this development, by Dr.

mers expressed their views of the

the Lexington-Jarmon road, since Its
location wns more or less indefinite,
and since bond money and county
money had already been voted upon
this, It seemed to be the sense of the
meeting as expressed quite generally
Hint this be entirely eliminated from
tho discussion of the meeting. The

Resolutions Are Passed Endorsing
Millage Tax Bill and Higher Sal
ary for County Superintendent
Morrdw county school principals
and school board directors held a suc
cessful conference at the court house
in this city last Saturday under the
direction of County School Superin-
'endent Shurte.
The conference was called primar
ily to discuss the problem now con
fronting the sehoels regarding teach
er shortage and teachers' salaries,
iiid also the millage tux bill which
will be voted upon at the coming el
ection.
The whole teacher problem appar
ently centers on the salary situation.
Owing to higher salaries being offer
ed teachers in other states, Oregon
is facing an acute shortage in the
teaching profession. These facts
were brought out in a discussion led
by Professor D. W. Boltnott, superin
tendent of Heppner schools. Five
hundred more teachers are needed in
Oregon at the present time and it is
estimated that 261 people are teach
ing now Iwho could not qualify In nor
mal times.
The millage tax bill was a subject
for some discussion, led by C. E.
Woodson of Heppner and Professor
Rolllen Dickerson of Lexington.
Resolutions were passed fixing a
minimum salary for Morrow county
teachers at $1200 per year, for train
ed teachers, with the proviso that the
tiacher must attend a summer train
ing school for six weeks the first year
and must either attend school or
teach for six weeks during the second
year.
Among other things, the educators
endorsed the millage tax measure; a
standard test in grade work and re
commended that the school lalws be
amended as to place the county
school superintendent's salary at not
less than $3000 per year.

Salvation Army Workers Do
A Great, Humanitarian Work
The story of an Oregon family,
bravely fighting adversity to win the
father free from the charge of mur
der; the story of a daughter's su
preme sacrifice in the family's battle
against odds made overwhelming by
the influenza scourge; the story of a
Salvation Army lassie's work of mer
cy through the long drear days of fe
ver when a mother and seven chil
dren fought for life in cramped quar
ters; has come to light at Eugene,
Oregon.
The death of the girl and the fu
neral, the gripping pathos of the
stricken, accused father, alone of all
tho family of nine, torn by great sobs
as he stood at the foot of the little
grave, brought the case to the public
attention. The Salvation Army had
been taking care of tie family for
days, then.
Dr. Churles T. Wheeler, field repre
sentative of the Salvation Army Home
Service Program for 1920, checked
up on the case and it is in his report
the real story is revealed. It is a
chapter In the famous Charles L.
Taylor murder case in which Martin
Clark was convicted on circumstan
tial evidence, then granted new trial.
The case held the interest of Oregon
for weeks. Dr. Wheeler (writes from
Eugene;
"Ensign J. L. Kelso spent an hour
and a half today in a cell Iwith a man
being tried for murder. The Salva
tion Army officer is his "next friend."
"Last July two men went hunting
up the mountain side together. They
agreed to separate and meet later.
One man did not show up. The al
arm was given, they searched for
days and finally found the body of
the missing hunter with a deer strap
ped to his back. There was a place
a little distance away where a man
had stood in the bushes and had
dropped two empty shells. Twigs
were cut where he had shot through
the bushes.
"Suspicion, of course, fell on
Clark, who had gone up the mountain
to hunt with Taylor. He Iwas arrest
ed, found guilty on circumstantial ev
idence, given a new trial and has
been In jail all this time since last
July,
"The family, his wife and seven
children, sold their little place, the
nine, the horses, the cattle and fur
niture everything that would bring
money and they were in comfor
table circumstances, to defend the
father. The family made a heroic
struggle to get along. The girl, Eth
el. 18, went to work in a telephone
office at $14 a week. The boy, 16.
drove a truck. Out of the Income of
these fiwo breadwinners the mother
saved $100.00 during the last two
months. Saved it to defend her hus
band. But the "Flu" came along last
weeK nnd put them all down at the
same time. The girl worked on Wed
nesday, took sick, went back Thurs
day, determined not to loose that
$14 which would help her father.
She was stricken at her (work, went
home and Sunday made the supreme
sacrifice, Her devotion had caused
her death.
"Ensign Kelso nnd Mrs. Kelso, the
sheriff and Clark went from the Jail
to the little home, where the prisoner
conversed with the ytfe who was hot
with fever, through a closed window.
The father was the only one able to
go to the cemetery, the others all ly
ing sick. A big, strong mountaineer,
he shook from head to foot, and all
he could say at the grave was "Poor
little girl."
"The Salvation Army Is taking
care of the sick family, A salvation
army lassie has been attending their
slightest need night and day since the
sickness struck. For days she did
not have her clothes off.
"Today, In the prison cell, sitting
along side of the stricken father, is
Ensign Kelso, his "next friend."

SHEEPMEN ILL MEET
TO DISCUSS WOOL
Sometime past the Morrow County
Farm Bureau decided that the sheep
men could get more money through
a better marketing system, and asked
the County Agent to take steps to
wards securing further information
upon this subject.
After considerable discussion with
the leaders in this Industry who
unanimously favored further Investi
gation, an effort was made to secure
a speaker from the outside to state
what has been done along this line
elsewhere.
The Farm Bureau now has a prom
ise of a wool-pool which will embrace
all of Eastern Oregon, and a wire
yesterday stated that Dr. McClure
the retiring secretary of the National
Wool Growers organization and the
man who put the "salt" in the Salt
Lake National Convention, and the
secretary of the state Iwool growers
association will come to Heppner to
hold the first meeting In the new re
organization movement.
He claims that the sheepmen havi,
cheated themselves out of $100,000,
000.00 in the last few years and will
tell how to overcome the trouble.
Several Eastern wool-pools last year
received from 16c to ISc more per
pound than their neighbors who sold
outside the pool. What can be made
here we do not knuiw but we shall
Investigate.
And what about the lamb market?
Watch for the date of the meeting
and be sure to attend.
