Ask Tom Moore Tom Mooro, starring In the Goldwyn picture, "Puds," which comes to the Star theater Sunday, is a soldier of for tune type. That Is doubtless the reason he finds such keen delight In enacting the role of Captain I'lunkett In the nhove-named production. Captain Plun kett Is a man whose fighting blood has been thoroughly sllrred by his war ex perience In Franca an 4 who finds the prospect of civilian clothes am a Job rather uninteresting. Then comes ths big adventure, the chance to match his wits and nerve and strength against clever opponents: and he jumps at the opportunity. "I)o 1 like It?" Tony, echoes. "Hoes an Irishman like a scrap?" And there is a mingled gleam and twinkle In his eye as he says It. "This is no milk and water story, but a yarn with ac tion nnd red blood In It. Captain Plun kett Is ft man who gravltntes toward excitement as a river runs down hill When adventure and romance come tap ping at his dnor he's always there to welcome them. There's plenty of both In the world for the mnn who keeps an eye open and doesn't sidestep." To talk with Tom Moore, to watch bhn nt bis work and In his leisure moments Is to be convinced that there is a man who takes a keen delight In life, who loves the tang of adventure, and finds the world a mighty Interest ing place to live In. Star theater on Sunday. LEXINGTON HI TAKES H, H. S. TO CLEANERS, 5-0 There wan a line Riime of ball between Heiner Hi nnd Lexington lit on the liitlcr'a'tfi'uuiwis at Lexington yesterday afternoon, Heppner setting out the manrnifiVent pioore of 9 Roose epsn, while the Lexington IikIh ran up on them with live hi Bcorei. To begin with,! Lexington took two from the locals,1 one a well-earned run, and the other, gathered in on a hum error by Hopp- ner. A ftur thin tt was a serieB of , blanks until about the sixth, when again, to tho disgust of the few Hepp1 ner fans present, their boyB put over a hunch of wlhl throws and Lexington! was ahead a couple of more counts on the srore hoard. Another count was added in the eighth. The poor Ilepp-i ner hunch was only able to get as far as third base a time or two, and while they had a couple of chances to get, over the home plate safely, they sluff-' ed off. Thoy were Inciting in the prop er pep somehow but their opponents; wiM'e t ight up and coming all the while,; with buf few errors to their count, and these the llcppner lads were not able to tnko advantage of. Peterson and Young wore the battery for Heppner, nnd (Inrrott and Karl Ward for Lexing ton. Withal, It was a good gnme and the homo hoys tooH their defeat like good Bportn. Lee Heaney umpired for Lexington and Jack Solyan for Hepp ner, and thnre was no dlssntisfnction on the part of either team regarding de cllonn. ft was a Hnappy game and played right up to time, the day being absolutely perfect. The oiltcome made Oar Scott, Walt Hill, Ed HurcheU and a few others of the old-timers feet mighty good and the business houses of Lexington closed up so that the town could turn out to root for the home team, nnd they did the Job up brown, all of which is hore set down to their credit. Tho Lexington boys will take Fossil on next at Lexington, Bnd they hope to regnln the laurels thoy lost to that team a few days ago when they played them nt Fossil. Hcppnor's next engagement will be with the lads from Hill Military Acad emy, Portland, on Mny 27th. Mrs. (leorge Stevenson was called to Carson, Wash., the last of the week on nceount of the very serious Illness of her mother, Mrs. Tom Drlskell.

This part of the ranch contains all ot the buildings and Improvements, and was owned Jointly by Mr. Minor and W. T. Matlock. Re cently these gentlemen made a division of Ihe place, Mr. Matlock taking over the lower half of the place.

In order that Heppner might be able to get Into the baseball games with some chance of winning, and that our city might also be able to get a few of these games here, the matter was taken up with our business men on Monday and sufficient funds raised to bring this nbout. We understand that a number of games have already been arranged, and that It Is now expected by Ihe locnl management to get suffi cient dntlngs with other towns in this vicinity to fill the schedule for the season. Heppner will play Arlington at that city on next Sunday and the fol lowing Sunday these tenms will appear on the diamond at Heppner. A game lias also been arranged with Condon, and it is expected that a return gnme by lone will be played on the Heppner grounds shortly. From the good work done by Heppner's team at lone on Sun- lay, we can confidently expect they'wlll be winners in at least some of these engagements, and good ball Is In store for the Heppner fans.

For a small circus It was good, and the show was under clean management free from the many objectionable fea tures that usually travel along with such attractions. Mr. nnd Mrs T. W. Hippee, who are located on the Joseph M. Hayes ranch on Big Butter creek, were visitors In Heppner yesterday. The hills out that wny are covered with a splendid growth of grass nnd look fine, crops are coming on well, but the creek is yet too muddy for good fishing. The members of the high school de bating team, accompanied by Prof. Howard M. James, will leave Saturday morning for Eugene, where they will participate in the finals, beginning on Wednesday next. The team consists of Margaret Woodson, Audra Grogan, El mer Peterson and Roland Humphreys, on the way to Eugeue the students will, have a chance to take In some of the Interesting buildings and attractions of the metropolis and tho capital city, as they will put In a day at both Port- in! and Salem.

Campbell went over to Walla Walla on last Friday. where, on Saturday, they attended the funeral of their former neighbor, George W. Smith. Mr. Smith passed away at hjs home In Walla Walla at the age of 79 years and his funerai was held under the auspices of the G. A. R., of which he was a prominent member. Mr. Smith was at one time a resident of this county and a pioneer settler here, for many years farming the place now owned by J. R. Jackson. He Was a neighbor of Mr. and Mrs. Campbell on Social Ridge and was highly esteemed by all those who knew him as a friend and neighbor In this county. Mr. Smith was an uncle of Walter O. Hill of Lexington and Mr. Hill was also In attendance at the fun eral. At Lexington last evening the enter tainment given by pupils of Heppner high school was listened to by a large and appreciatfve audience. The audit orium of the Lexington school was fill ed to capacity, and all the numbers pre sented by the young folks from HPP ner were received with enthusiastic ap plause. The entertainment was under the direction of Miss Dafoe,and she and her pupllt are Just "bubbling over" with praise for the splendid treatment ac corded them In this first appearance before the Lexington people. It Just helped a lot to salve the disappointment of the Heppner folks over the trimming administered their ball team In the af ternoon by the Lexington huskies. On his return from Walla Walla the first of the week, Judge Campbell came down the river and visited the towns of Irrlgon and Boardman, where he found vegetation of all kinds looking fine. The Judge thinks that wonders have been performed In the Irrigated sections of both Morrow and Umatilla counties. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell re turned home on Tuesday. Dr. McMurdo reports the arrival of a 9 1-2 pound daughter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Ashbaugh, of Hard man on Wednesday, May the 11th. T L E. G. Noble, mayor of the City of Heppner, and In behalf of the city coun oil, take this means of expressing our thanks and sincere appreciation to more than 100 patriotic citizens for answering the call for their services in graveling the cemetery hill road which was In a deplorable condition. The road Is com pleted and one that we all can be Just ly proud of and will stand as a monu ment for time to come. We especially thank Guy Boyer, V. Gentry, Frank Parker, Wm. Mikesell, Osman Hager, Wm. Halrd, Tum-a-Lum Lumber Co., Ed Breslin, and Arch Bar nard for their teams and trucks which were taken from their regular work at home and donated to the good cause And you disloyal business men, we hnve this for you: This proclamation was not made for Ashing trips, backyard grievances or for worshippers of the Almighty Dollar. The writer's attention was called to one case where a business man stood in front of his place of business ap parently waiting for a prospective cus tomer, while his competitor was on the Job: a shame and a disgrace and a slap In the face which will be remembered In more ways than one by the promoters and the boys on the Job. Thanking you all again who were interested in this good work. I am. Yours very truly, E. O. NOBLE. Mayor. Judge Phelps Did Not Arrive. All arrangements were made for the proper reception of Judge Phelps at the Court house this week, but lie did not arrive. The grand Jury was In session for several days the last of the week, and ready to make their re port to the court upon his opening of the regular May term hero on Monday morning. It was understood by the officials nt the court house that the May term would open as usual, the grand Jury would report and receive their discharge, and If there was ur gent matters to be taken up they would be heard, and then the court would he adjourned until the time fixed by the new law In June. Judge Phelps was Indisposed nt this time and was unable to come to Heppner, so It is presumed that there will be no session of the Cir cuit court until the regular date next month. Commissioners Yeon and Barratt Visit Heppner State Highway Commissioners Yeon and Barratt who are Just getting In from their last lap on the trip of In spection of Eastern Oregon highways, arrived at Heppner late yesterday af ternoon, and remained over for the night. They were tendered an Informal dinner party last evening at Hotel Pat rick, and a number of our leading cit izens, together with some outside visit ors to the elty, were gathered about the banquet board, to have a social hour or two with the members of the com mission and one or two of their assist ants on the engineering force. Then, was no discussion, whatever, of local highway problems. Several speeches were made, all along the line of com plimenting and encouraging the com missioners in their good work, and there was no hint by any of the local speakers that we had anything further to ask of them at thia time. Hon. Jeff erson Myers, of Portland, was a visitor present, and he Joined with local speak ers In praising the good work of the state highway department. Sam Van Vactor. Sam Notson, C. E. Woodson and others of local repute also spoke, and the reception was highly pleasing to the visitors.

THE AWAKEXED FARMER. By Spencer Akera A calm? But listen, I behold Some millions of peaceful farmers, bold. Who silently but bravely signed, A covenant by which to bind Themselves Into a mighty band, To help their cause throughout the land. It's long they've bowed beneath the load. And plodded on before the goad, Regardless of the dRrkest night, To satisfy the parasite. The men who raise the nation's bread. Whene'er they Bought to raise their head. They never failed to get a blow, . That made their progress very slow. In fact the blows were so severe. That every brain It seemed to sear; I'ntll It seemed they all were doomed. Eventually to be consumed. When suddenly they got a blow. That paralyzed from head to toe. Although the blow did paralyze, it knocked the wool from off their eyes. And looking up. beheld a sight. Of naked facts in broad daylight. In fact the last and wicked Jolt, Which echoed like a thunderbolt. And still Is rumbling In the air. To Intimidate and to scare, Has only proved a boomerang, To all the plutocratic gang. And now they see throughout the na tion, The hangman's rope, cooperation. And In their camp you plainly see. The scamrfer of the enemy. And thus the sure aproachlng bout, Has put the enemy to rout. Their legal stand, though very strong. Must crumble -'fore the mighty throng of horny-handed, brawny scouts. Whose solemn tread, but chilling 3-llOUtS, Have paved the way by seeds they've sown. That those who toll might gain their own. The plutocrat, the parasite. Who always claimed that nilnht was right. Has placed his ear upon the ground. And heard the paralysing sound, Of distant rumbling, and beheld. A cloud of dust, which ever quelled The thought of checking such a tide, Which fast Is growing nation-wide. Some few are falling on their knees.

And hope by this to right the wrong The burly captain, strong and wise, Will not accept a compromise Hut thos? henceforth who til the soil. By lcgnlofight will hold the spoil.

Solyan was In the box for Hepp ner and his pitching was a pusxle to the lone sluggers, who had a hard time In connecting up with the ball. He did not have as good support at the home plate as he should, the catcher falling to hold him. Tha field work on the part of Heppner was excellent and nothing was allowed to get by, either In the Infield or outfield. Hockey was In the box for lone and pitched a good, consistent game. He received his usual good support from the lone play ers, and the game was a tight one all through, and a tie score of three tallies up to the ninth inning, when lone man aged to put over the wlnnig score.

Eugene Meyer, Jr., Managing Director of the War Finance corporation, speaking at a recent meet ing of the Bankers Club of Brooklyn, said: 'There has been a decline without parallel in the prices of all kinds of goods and commodities. Bank loans have steadily declined since the begin ning of this year and reserves In some parts of the country are now building up to satisfactory figures, but even with this improvement in the banking situation, there is still a most serious condition in industry. The foremost among the Industries which are suffer ing is the great fundamental Industry of agriculture. "It . Is tha obligation of the banker today to determine In what direction he can properly and conservatively stimulate business by giving encourage ment and confidence to the producers and merchants who depend upon htm for advice and for funds. If It Is true, as I believe, that stocks are abnormal ly low, that merchants, manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers, who a year ago could not obtain enough goods at high prices, are now unwilling to carry their usual stocks at low prices. It Is the obligation of the banker to endeav or to remedy this situation. It seems to me that at the present time, no other single thing would contribute more to the restoration of business In a sound and conservative manner than the re sumption of the carrying of normal stocks In proportion to the probable needs of consumers. "Another obligation with which the bankers may properly charge them selves In the public Interest is that of devising effective measures for elimin ating the swindling promotion schemes which cost the people huge sums of money at regular and frequent Inter vals. 'I deem It to be a real obligation of the bankers of this country to co operate with the government In work ing out a program by which the mean nlg of thrift may be brought home to every man, woman and child; and this should bo done, in part through the savings system of the United States Government and, in great part through the stock and mutual savings banks. Neither the private nor the Government Institutions can do It all, or do It alone, but it Is certainly a reflection upon our management of the situation that the Government at this time, instead cf raising money from the savings of the people should be called upon to pay off J12.000.000 to J15.00O.000 a month, thus materially adding to our financial bur- lens in thia difficult period."
