Arthur T. Fouler of Clyde, North Da
kota Han Facta and Figure lieur

111 Middle West Farmer Are En.
oectally Invited to Attend.
The farmers of North Dakota are
finding that industrial democracy is
a costly experiment. First hand in
formation concerning the results of
Non-Partisan rule in that state will
be given to the people of Morrdw
county, and more especially the farm
er, when Arthur T. Foster of Clyde,
North Dakota will appear In Heppncr
on Friday evening of April 2.
Mr. Foster is said to be an enter
taining speaker and a man who has
seen the rise of the Non-Partisan Lea
gue sun in North Dakota, watched It
shine forth its costly rays of taxation
and left the state Just as that sun was
about to settle behind the western
hills. But the Non-Partisan League
is spreading Its theories and the farm
ers of Oregon are going to be asked
to contribute to "the rainbow paint
ers." It is announced by the Land
aud Labor League at Portland that
the Non-Partisan League Mil enter
Oregon in June.
It is not likely that Morrow county
furiners will want any of the league
stuff after hearing the message from
Mr. Foster. North Dakota is strug
gling under a loud of bonded indebt
edness that is forcing taxes to the
breaking point. Among the many en
terprises which the league is foster
ing, here are some of the new laws
which are causing much tax dissatis
faction: A (2,000,000 bond issue as capital
stock for a stale bank to finance in
dustrial democracy.
(200,000 appropriated for current
expenses of an Industrial Commis
sion to administer bank and various
stute-dwned enterprises.
A $5,000,000 bond issue for state
grain elevators and mills.
A $10,000,000 bond Issue to be us
ed by the state bank in loaning money
on real estate.
A (50,000 appropriation tor ad
ministering compulsory stale hail In
surance. A $100,000 appropriation for ad
ministering a sort of state building
and loan to handle farm and city pro
perty. Povldlng state indemnity bonds for
officials and state fire Insurance tor
all public buildings.
Levying a half-mill tax to pay bo
nuses to North Dakota soldiers and
Bailors in the Oreat War.
Adoption of single tax.
liaising of iiKSM'HMiii'iits to 100 per
cent.
Exempting farm improvements and
a portion of city dwellings from tax
ation. High taxes have been followed by
higher taxes in the original home of
the Non-Partisan League, it we are
to accept flguses presented by John
E. Pickett In the Country Gentleman
as facts. Mr. Pickett points out that
tax valuation In Grand Forks county
raised from $16,640,088 in 1918 to
$70,747,435 in 1919. Hansom coun
ty jumped from $6,406,616 to $28,
995,300. Fifteen of the fifty-three
counties of the state had their valu
ation raised more than 300 per cent.
The Non-Partisan League is coming
west. Its organizations are already
busy In the states of Washington and
Idaho. It is their plan to take over
the political leadership, create as
wide a breech as possible between
farmer and business man, try to get
the farmer to believe that every other
Interest is his deadly enemy, and to
convince him that his salvation is
through the Non-Partisan League;
which takes $18 of his perfectly good
money, less than 4 per cent of (which
la returned to him. All of these high
points of the league's operations will
be brought out clearly by Mr. Foster.
Spring Tree Planting.
More than fifteen hundred acres of
burned over land on the National For
ests of Oregon and Washington rw 111
be replanted with trees this spring,
according to an announcement by
District Forester George H. Cecil,

AN EASTER OFFERING
Great Master thou didst come to
earth
As humbly as the Potter's child,
While shepherds watched beside the
hearth,
With songs of rapture time bo
guilded. 'Twas written In the slurry dome
That doubting worlds might see
And welcome to his earthly home
A Savior, "He Iwho was to be."
The centuries have come and gone,
All nations worship at your
shrine,
The fight la o'er, the victory won,
And will be for all coming time.
When Easter warms euch Christian's
heart,
And llllles on the Altars lay,
Great Master bid my doubts depart,
May nil who worship, learn to
pray.

YOUNG SHEEP MAN
INFLUENZA
VI
Frank McCaitun Found Near Black
Horse Canyon, Dead From Carbolic
Acid Poisoning Was Recovering
From (Severe Sickness,
Frank McCartan, a native of Ire
land, aud for three years a resident of
Morrdw county, where he was engag
ed in the sheep business, was found
dead just over the bill from Hepp
ner, near the Black Horse canyon,
last Sunday by Mr. Stout and his son.
Mr. Stout and the boy were hunting
rabbits and came across the body of
young McCartan.
Coroner M. L. Case was immediate
ly called and upon investigation it
was found that McCartan had come to
his death through carbolic acid pois
oning administered by his own hand
with suicidal intent. This was the
verdict of the coroner's jury. It is
estimated that the man had been dead
uearly two Iweeks. He was last seen
in Heppner on March 4.
The body will be shipped to New
York, according to instructions re
ceived here, where he has relatives.
Mr. McCartan had been a very sick
man when he was taken down with
the influenza several tweekB ago and
doctors and nurses found it a hard
task to keep him in bed. He was ap
parently worrying over his sheep bus
iness to some extent. He and his
partner, Mr. Petitt, were running a
bunch of sheep in the lower sand
country. He was considered a shrewd
business man, an entertaining conver-l
sationalist and a likeable and trust
worthy man in every respect and his
departure is mourned by those who
knew him.
He leaves an interest in his sheep
business and also a $10,000 insur
ance policy which he had only re
cently taken out.

IH SCHOOL FLAY
MEETS WITH SUCCESS
"Six Miles From A Lemon" was
presented to a large audience at the
High School auditorium on Saturday
evening, under the direction of Miss
Martina H. Tbiele. The cast, made
up of high school students, sustained
their individual parts v.s'i.and some
splendid Urlent was disnSyed.
We can not say that the play, itself,
was just what it should have been, as
it appeared to be of too d llcult in
terpretation for the amateu.', yet the
moral it was to teach was brought
out fairly taell, and there was evi
dence that much hard work had been
spent in the preparation, both on the
part of the students and their direc
tor. The proceeds, after expenses were
I counted out, amounted to $96.15,
! two-thirds of which was turnd over
to the school board to be applied on
the bill for the clock system recently
installed in the high school building,
and the other third goes to the ath
letic association.
Preceding the play, and between
acts, musical numbers were present
ed by Miss Mary Clark, the Misses
Bernice Githens and Eulalla Butler,
and Miss Violet Merritt.
Many Farmers Take l'p Accounting.
One-day farm accounting courses
are now being given in 15 states thru
the cooperation of the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges in farm
management extension Iwork. The
primary object of these courses is to
interest the farmer in farm book
keeping as an essential to efficient
farm mnnagement. While the assis
tance which the courses give in cal
culating a farmer's income tax is of
great vnlue, it is necessarily second
ary. This is the first year in which this
method of introducing farm account
ing has been undertaken on such a
large scale. The schools are carried
on in cooperation with the county
agents. The one-day sessions are oc
cupied with calculations made by far
mers themselves under the supervis
ion of the instructor, nnd discussions
of such topics as the relative value of
various crops, the size of trop yields,
the quality and quantity of live stock
for a farm of a given size, the size
of the faim business as a whole, and
the farm layout, and the use of labor
all factors vitally affecting farm ef
ficiency. The director of the destinies of the
Heppner Herald will be relieved this
week; Ed Buckman and his crew are
busy getting that pile of sand and
gravel out of May street and are rap
idly converting the same Into a con
crete walk extending from the Gill
iam & Bisbee building east to the
crossing on Chase street. Now, Pat,
get busy and see if you can't get that
pile of brick and runbish on the old
Palace hotel corner converted into
something useful, and thus perform
a real service to your town nnd coun
try. This has been an eye sore about
long enough and the people that now
own it should get busy and clean it
up Iwithout further delay. If the Her
ald will only mention It, we know It
will be done, Instanter.
Mr. nnd Mrs. H. M. Moore nnd little
son of Butter creek were visiting in

More Good Horses Needed.
The thing most needed In the pro
duction of Iwork horses for American
farms is greater care in the selection
of the stallion and the brood mare,
say animal husbandry experts of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture who have been studying the pre
sent situation with respect to horses.
Not only was there a net decrease of
approximately 373, 0CC in the number
of horses on farms on January 1,
compared with a year ago, but the ex
perts are of the opinion that there
has been an even more marked de
crease in the number of mares bred
during 1919. The extent of this de
crease can not be accurately deter
mined until the colt crop of 1920 is
estimated. However, if the decline
in breeding Is as great as conditions
now indicate, the country will be con
fronted with a seriously depleted sup
ply of good horses Kvithtn the next
few years.
Many farmers are using up their
work stock without making any pro
vision for the future. Such a policy
is short-sighted and will have serious
results, according to Department of
Agriculture representatives. The
present need is to in crease the per
centage of efficient horses by careful
selection of parents. One of the prin
cipal factors from which the market
is suffering is the breeding of too
many low-grade work animals. There
is a strong demandfor high-grade
horses, at good prices, the depart
ment says.

Jury Finds Weeks Not Guilty of As
j sault and Battery.
J A jury composed of six men In Jus
tice Cornett's court on Tuesday af
' ternoon returned a verdict of not
guilty in the case of Nancy Brundage
! against Ralph Weeks. Weeks was
1 charged in the complaint of assault
' and battery and the case grew out of
; some trouble which Weeks and Bob
Owen bad had at Mrs. Brundage's
1 ranch. In the mix-up and when
i Weeks had Owen on his back, Mrs.
Brundage, who is 80 years old, came
out and attempted to pull Weeks off
I of Owen, as was brought out by the
; witnesses. She alleged that It was
; at this time that she twas struck by
Weeks and knocked down. Further
evidence convinced the Jury that
Weeks had his hands full with Owen
at the time and did not strike Mrs.
Brundage, but warded her of, when
she slipped and fell, sustaining
j bruises. A number of character wit
nesses appeared and testified to the
' good reputation which Mr. Weeks
j has always borne as a law abiding cit
I izen. Sam E. Van Vactor appeared
I for the defendant while S. E. Notson,
'district attorney, handled the state's
' case. The jury consisted of E. L.

Mibs Clayton's skill as a driver ot
motor cars stood her in good stead
in the ambulance driving scenes, and
she soon showed that she could han

as she drives a light racing car. Miss
Clayton's intrepid spirit was well
shown recently when she Iwent west
to make Paramount Pictures and de
cided to make the trip across country
in her motor car.
In the past several years her work
on the screen has gained he many
admirers, who find in her finished
acting and vivid personality a never-
failing attraction. Her Paramount
pictures so far have been admirable
stories and her latest, "The Mystery
Girl," is probably the best she has
done so far.
Its story, which combines romance
and drama, is from the facile pen of
George Barr McCutcheon, and in nov

The scenario version was made by
Marion Fairfax, and William C. De
Mille directed the picture.
