SESSUE HAYAKAWA IN
AN AMERICAN DRAMA
"II I Brie HiwrR," A Hobrrtiton-Cnie Snprr
Nperial, With I) nuns tic Mar
at Ilia Best.
In "Mack Roses," his latest Robert-!
son-Cole production, Sessuo Hayakawa,
distinguished Japanese star, Is seen for,
the first time in many months In a
photoplay laid entirety in America. The
fact, however, thnt the action of the
story takes place In only one country
does not deprive it of any picturesque
effect. The same artistry with which
every Hayakawa production Is Invest
ed Is paramount in "Black Rosea,"
which appears at the Star theatre on
Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 2 and
t.
During the course of the production
Hayakawa is seen In three distinct
characterisations, first as a happy-go-lucky
gardener on the estnte of a mil
lionaire; next as a hardened victim of
circumstances when by false evidence
he Is convicted of a murder he never
committed, and finally as a Chinese
prince moving In the highest circles of
society where he succeeds In finding
and punishing those who were respon
sible for his life's tragedy.
In "Hlaek Hoses," Mr. Hayakawa Is
Hupported by one of the strongest casts
ever assembled for a motion picture.
Tsuru Aokl, a star In her own right,
and In private life Mrs. Sossue Haya
kawa Is, seen In the leading feminine
role.

GETTING
A
DAIRY. CHEESE CENTER
The people of the Boardman project
realise that there can be no permanent
agriculture where the crop raised Is
shipped out of the country and nothing
returned to the soil. This la especially
important in an irrigated section.
The application of manure Increases
the yield of alfalfa. This calls for live
stock. It Is Important that the hay be
fed upon the farm and the producta
shipped out In concentrated form.
merest in dairying has Increaaed to
such an eitent that several carloads of
milk stock are enrouta to Boardman,
having been selected by various par

Coyote Hunter and Trapper
Due Here November First
Reports coming Into the County
Agent's office show that much damnge
Is being done over tho covnty by the
ever present coyote. Arrangements
have just been made to have a Govern
ment hunter and trapper located In this
county beginning the first of Novem
ber. Just prior to lambing time It is
hoped that It will bo possible to have
two men on the Job. The Government
Is paying half of the salary of the
trapper and the other half Is being
borne by the County Wool Growers'
AssocHtlon and Morrow county equal
ly. In order to tatke care of the sheep
men's part of this expense the execu
tive committee of the Wool Growers'
Association voted last year to levy an
assessment of $3.00 Her thouannd head
on the sheepmen of thl county. A num
ber of the growers slgWd trie-contract
to thnt effect and this money Is avail
able to start the work with this fall.
The other sheepmen will be given an
opportunity to do their part as time
goes on.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
Pr. A. D. McMurdo announces that he
has acquired full ownership nnd con
trol of the former Heppner Sanitarium,
hospital and surgical equipment which
has been In use In the Moore hospital
and has removed the same to Mrs. Jas.
Gentry's residence, Mrs. Gentry having
offered the use of her home for hospital
purposes. The place Is being fitted up
as a strictly modern surgery and the
public Is assured of the very best In
treatment and attention. Rates, 13.60

HUNGRY
mi
On Armistice Day, November 11th,
the body of an unknown aoldier.
brought from France, will be. Interred
at Arlington National cemetery, Wash
ington D. C. The funeral oration will
be delivered by President Harding. The
ceremonies are to b In charge of the
Army and the assmbly of troops and
civilians will be so Urge that compar
atlvely few could hear the unaided
voice of the President...
Bell loud speakers will be Installed
so that all those who are assembled
may hear the President's oration and
other exercises. Loud speakers will
also be Installed In New Tork, Chicago
and San Francisco and the President's
oration will be simultaneously trans
mitted over the long lines of the Bell
System, to be heard at all four points.
The loud speaking apparatus provid
ed at all four points will be similar to
that used during the Rose Festival at
Portland, in June of thla year. By the
use of this apparatus It will be possible
for thousands of people to hear and in
a measure participate In this interest
ing and solemn ceremony.
The gatherings In New York, Chicago
and San Francisco will be under the
auspices of the American Legion, which
will arrange to conduct suitable exer
cises. The place of assembly in San
Francisco will be the Civic Auditorium.
Loud speakers will be installed in the
hall and also on the outside as It Is ex
pected that there will be an overflow
meetltng in the Plaza, The work of In
stallatlon is under way and will be
completed for test about November 1st.
The project Is one of the most im
portant and ditllcult ever undertaken.
Tentative applications have been re
ceived by the Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company from newspapers
for an extension of this service to other
cities under the mistaken Impression
that the making of such extensions
would be as simple as the addition of
a drop to a telegraph circuit. The In
stallatlon of the necessary apparatus at
each of the four points Involves an ex
penditure of thousands of dollars. The
purpose Is to make It possible for
large number of people assembled at
the four designated points to partlcl
pate in the funeral exercises and to
hear the voice of the President deliver
ing a sulmn historical oratiotn at trte
grave of the unknown soldier. It will
be a marvelous demonstration of great
scientific accomplishment nnd without
precedent. It is, of course, apparent
that no one on the Pacific Coast can
participate in these exercises and hear
the President's voice except those who
are assembled at the Civic Auditorium
In San Frnncisco. It is not possible to
extend the arrangement to any other
point due to the expense for furnishing
and Installing the necessary loud speak
ing apparatus.
Hoy Scouts Meeting.
Boy Scouts of America, Troop No. 1
of Heppner, will meet at their head
quarters nt the Christian church Sat
urday afternoon at 1 o'clock. Every
Scout should be present.
Tests for the Tenderfoot degree will
be held at the home of the Scout Master
Friday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Every
boy In Heppner and community between
the ages of twelve and fifteen years
should be a member of this organiza
tion. LIVINGSTONE, S. M.
Red Cross Roll Call.
The annual Red Cross Roll Call will
be conducted from November 11 to 24.
W. f. Livingstone has been appointed
as chairman for the county. The Roll
Call of a year ago in Morrow county
amounted to a total of $578.00; the
needs of this year are equal to those of
last, and Morrow county must put
across nn equally vigorous campagn
with the amount realised last year at
the minimum of their goal.

FARM BUREAU 10 BID
1
C. C. CALKINS, County Agent.
This Is the organization age. The
farmer has been driven to it In self pro
tection. Ten years ago It was a case
of every farmer for himself making'
htm an easy prey for organized com
mission men or greedy dealers. The
past two decades have witnessed great
changes with the introduction of gas
machinery and modern appliances and
business has been speeded up many
hundred per cent. The game of getting
the other fellow before he gets you has
been intensified many fold. Concerns!
that were satisfied with making a ten-
percent commission have found out that
it was easier to make money by in
creasing it to fifty Many instances
of such abuse have come to the atten
tion of the farmers everywhere. Manu
facturers have been able to s'vure pro
per protection for their commodities bv
maintaining a strong lobby In congress
while the farmer found himself compet
ing against the whole world. A great
burden of taxation has been shifted
aa largely as possible to the people who
make the smallest howl.
About two years ago a national move
ment to get the farmers together and
known as the Farm Bureau was started
and today a million and a half farm
homes are members of this organiza
tion. This organization Is made up ot
farmers only vorking together for a
common cause, an organization which
is non-partisan, non-sectarian, without
any religious creed, not indulging In
politics, has made Its influence felt all
the way from the farm home to the
congressional hall. Today practically
every Btate Farm Bureau has affiliated
with the national, making the strong
est farm organization which this coun
try has ever known.
One year ago the Oregon State Farm
Bureau was started. Membership cam
paigns are being carried on in most of
the counties of the state with the re
sult that sixty per cent or better of
the farmers In the counties are Joining,
The Oregon State Farm Bureau has
made a record of which it need not be
ashamed during the past year. Their
work with cooperative marketing con
cerns alone many times more than Jus
tifies its existence.
The county Farm Bureau, working
with the Agricultural Agent, is charged
with carrying on the extension work
in the county. In Morrow County we
need to put on a real campaign in get
ting seventy-five percent or better of
our farmers, working out a definite
program, selecting good committeemen
to assist in putting this across, and
then go out united to get the results.
The Executive Committee has taken
the matter of this organization work up
with the State Farm Bureau and It will
he presented to the farmers of Morrow
county probably within the next month.
In Joining the Farm Bureau you not
only Join the county organization but
the state and national as well. This
Is indeed a time when the farmers of
Oregon should be joining hands with
the farmers in every state of the union
for the mutual benefit of all.

Local Postotffice Handles A
Big: Parcel Post Business
The first fifteen days of the month of
October have been record breakers In
the office of Postmaster Richardson,
and he fears that if the business con
tinues to Increase at the present rate, a
larger wareroom will have to be provid
ed in which to care for it.
From the first to the fifteenth, liv
elusive, there were received 1374 Be
arate pieces of Incoming parcel post
mail, weighing 94iUl pounds. Of out
going parcel post there were f'f8 pieces,
weighing 2450 pounds. Of this class of
mail the postmaster has handled for
the fifteen days about six tons. And the
business is growing, as the local mer
chants are finding this manner of re
reiving goods usually sent as freight to
be quite handy under present condl
tlons.

Morrow County Has Strong
Lead in Grain Certification
The certification of grain In fourteen
counties of Oregon for the year 1921 is
over, and the results place Morrow
county far in the lead. Last year Uma
tilla county had the most extensive
acreage of certified grain, but this sea
son Morrow county is far ahead, having
12.W7 acres certified. Only 60 acres In
this county were rejected.
The acreage of wheat certified for
purity in the various counties this sea
son is as follows:

The main objects of seed certiflactlon
are; first, to locate sources of pure seed
as many communities as possible;
second, to encourage the use of the best
variety for each particular community;
third, to provide sources of seed that
will not result in lower prices because
of mixed wheat in those sections wbero
there is strong tendency to grow a cer
tain variety regardless of its yielding
quality; fourth, to avoid loss coming
from planting seed infected with dis
ease; and fifth, to secure a premium for
good wheat
CoDtraet Fur Road Work Let.
At a meeting of the state highway
commission in Portland on Tuesday, the
contract was let for the surfacing: of
the Heppner-Lexington section of the
)regon-Washington highway, the suc
cessful bidders being Moore ft Ander
son, at $58,475. The Morrow county
Judge and commissioners were on the
job to bid for this work, too, but they
evidently were not low enough to carry
off the job.
At this meeting the commissioners
also sold $1,500,000 of road bonds, which
brought a premium of $49,650. The
bond market was the best since 1919,
and the bidding for the offering was
very lively. A number of contracts for
road work In different parts of the state
were let and at figures as low, If not
lower than pre-war prices. An evidence
that labor and material are coming
down, tho the fact that many of the
firms wish to keep up their organisa
tion in order to be ready for the work
offered the coming summer may have
something to do with the lower bids at
this time.

joyed a visit the past week from Mr.
and Mrs. C. T. Wilson, whose home Is
in Montana. Mrs. Wilson Is a sister of
Mrs. Anderson, and while touring this
part of the country they took time to
call at Heppner. They continued their
journey Saturday to visit with relatives
at Goldendale, Wash.
Mrs. A. tl. Moore arrived at Heppner
tn Monday from Hui kbuiAott, Texas,
one of the great "il producing sections
of that state. She is called here on
business in connection with some land
she owns in the Hardman country. Mrs.
Moore was formerly Mrs. Zlnn and at
one time had ch.vue of the central tel
ephone ofllce in this city.
Anothter big rain visited this section
on Tuesday night and the Heppner hills
are being well moistened. With the
mild weather following, the hills will
soon be putting on a tine coat of green.
Grass is growing well and grain Is com
ing up and should be well rooted before
the freezing weather sets in. Sure some
fine fall for the stockman and farmer.
Pob Clabough got "biffed" in the face
in proper style on Monday, while he
was cranking a big Case car. Tho crank
flew back at him and struck the side of
his face-with almost sudioient force to
lay him out and his cheek received a
deep gash, requiring several stitches to
bring the opening together. The force
of the blow has given him a very stiff
nock. A crank will strike back, sometimes.

IS IT SAFE TO MARRY
ONE WHOM YOU DON'T
TRUST OR RESPECT?
It la Poaaibie to Love Madly IVItkeBt
Hraprctiag. Bat Sack Aa Attraction
Offers a Poor Fonadatloa for Happy
Marriage, Says Agnes Ayres.
Would you marry the most attrac
tive, fascinating and sought after per
son in your social circle, if you found
yourself under the spell of that fascin
ation, yet felt no real respect for the
person who had charmed you?
Agnes Ayres, film favorite, aaya em
phatically that she wouldn't. Her at
tention was called to the question by
the plot of "The Furnace," the big Wil
liam D. Taylor picture, recently re
leased by Realart, In which she had the
leading role, that of a popular English
actress who marries a wealthy Canad
ian and is told by him on their wed
ding night that he has no respect for
her, has married her only for fear that
she would involve him In a distasteful
breach of promise suit if he failed to do
so, and that she Is to be hia wife In
name only.
"Of course, for the purposes of the
plot, the man s attitude makes things
lots more complicated and interesting.
But as I studied the play I could not
help thinking how terribly foolish any
body would be to do such a thing in
real life as to marry without any foun
dation of trust and utter confidence.
All too often those we do trust fall us
and plunge us into the depths of
wretched unhappiness. But surely no
sane person should consider marriage
without confidence to start with.
"I know many silly young girls think
they admire the very sophisticated type
of man. the man who has the reputa
tion of being rathetr f;ist, rather a 'dev
il with the ladles,' and that sort of
thing. Certainly the worldly type of
man with his easy manners, is often
more entertaining as a dance or dinner
partner than the serious chap who haa
never flirted in his life and can't for
the life of him think of anything
sprightly to say. But as a life partner,
for better and for worse, the 'slow' but
reliable young man is rather to be
chosen than the fascinating beau who
exercises ts many charms on every
woman he meets, and is bound to keep
his wife In a fever of Jealousy and sus
picion. Disillusionment is so bitter,
argue some girls, that It Is safer to
marry without trust, than to have trust
violated. Hut I can't agree.
"I think it is Just as unwise and as
unsafe for a man to mnrrv a fascinat
ing woman who has turned his head
and won his heart but never quite sat
isfied his beher judgment that she Is
trustworthy and sincere. Many men
do marry, jealous, anxiously watchful,
unable to Rive up the wamen who have
enslaved them even though doubt
struggles with affection. It Isn't safe
it Isn't sensible an. I happiness cannot
be built on such a shaky foundation, I
feel certain. .
"That, of course, Is the teaching of
'The Furnace' and It Is a lesson that
society needs to take to heart, for too
many marriages are the result of mail
impulse, the swift yielding to fascina
tion, not lb outgrowth of a sincere un
derstanding and a mutual confidence
that nothing can shake. Certainly no
body, who sees the utihapplriess exper
ienced by both Folly and Anthony In
I this drama would date to take the risk
without renpect and trust"
