Lester Goodrich of Morgan and T. Wilde of Broadacres near Cecil were hunting horses in the Cecil vi cinity on Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Minor spent Friday at the Last Camp leaving on Saturday for Portland where they ill visit for a few days. j Mr. and Mrs. Roy Stender of Sel- domseen and party of friends made a short stay in Cecil after spending tne aay shooting rabbits. V. Gentry of Heppner and Tom Boylen of Pendleton have been the guests of A. Henriksen of Willow Creek ranch during the week. Mr. and Mrs. Cecil Philips who have been working at Willow Creek ranch were called to Portland on 3at uiday owing to the illness of Mrs. Philip's mother. John Krebs of The Last Camp and several lady friends (too numerous to name separately) were the dinner guests of Mrs. Jack Hynd at Butter by Flats on Sunday. George Henriksen of Strawberry ranch was a busy man in Cecil on Thursday helping to load his sheep which Tom Boylen had bought and was shipping into Montana. Bob Thompson, one of Heppner's leading sheepmen, arrived in Cecil on Friday and has taken up his res idence tor a his lambing crew for the season. About three hundred fine lambs are jumping around the Minor and Krebs sheep at the Dovecote and Poplar Grove at Cecil and have tak en no harm in the hard weather of the last week. At time of writing a Chinook is doing its best to take away he snow and ice. Master Harry Smith of Four Mile was the week end guest of Master Noel Streeter at Cecil. Shooting rabbits was their greatest amuse ment. They said they had fine sport but had left plenty 'of rabbits for the "Tough Nuts" and the "Never sweats" of lone. Cecil was as busy as the Portland stock yards on Thursday when a spe cial stock train arrived and was loaded by A. Henriksen of Willow Creek ranch with about four thou sand head of sheets which he had scld to V. Gentry, who we uncie, stand. sold over to Tom Boylen who shipped them to Chicago markets. Cecil has had lots of excitement with rabbit hunts of all kinds but a real man hunt was the latest on re cord. George Cochran of lone was lost on the sands on Sunday while rabbit hunting. Every Cecilite turn ed out in the hunt. After searching until Monday at noon the efforts of all searchers from lone, Arlington, etc., were rewarded by the finding of the lost man among the hills and sa?e brush, not much worse because of his adventure. Umatilla and Wheeler counties. The committeemen for this district are Superintendent Goodwin of Milton, James of Heppner. and Inlow of Pendleton. So far Heppner has won the championship of Morrow and Gilliam counties, but we have yet to play Fossil and the winners of Uma tilla county. The winners of each district will meet at Salem under the auspices of the Willamette univer sity to contest for the championship of the state. The domestic science department served two hundred and five children to soup last week. Iris Winnard is again pulling in the harness of the class of '22, anci we notice a greater improvement in the team work since her cheery smile is seen. Thursday the high school indepen dent team played tones American Legion team at lone. This was a good game although it was in Ione's favor the second half ending with a score of 19 to 7. Wedensday afternoon the Latin and Caesar classes gave a short Lat in play for the student body. Even if we couldn't understand what they were talking about, it was something new and we enjoyed it very much. The Junior English class is be ginning the study of representative poems of Burns with Carlyle's es- sav. The health nurse. Mrs. Johnson, visited school last Friday and exam ined all the students in the grades and high school for traces of scarlet fever and the grip. She found it necessary to send home quite a num ber in the grades, but none in the high school. Mr. James suggested Wool Prices May Go To 40 Cents In Spring that if any of the students who had few days to round upa had cold would stay at home until tney were over it, we ought to De able to stamp out the epidemic. It was impossible for Hardman to come here Friday night for a game so to have a good time two games were scheduled for that night. The girls' first and second teams played and the independent and second boys' teams played. Both second teams met defeat at the hands of the other teams. Got an extra quarter? Got an extra half? Put it to its value Basketball, February 11. The gay profusion of daffodils and hyacinths blooming in the English room has made it the center of at traction for the past two weeks. The girls baskeball team rejoiced Monday afternoon because they missed about twenty minutes of school while having their pictures taken. The seventh grade is the proud possessor of a large and beautiful picture, "Hailing the Ferry," pre sented by Mr. and Mrs. Cohn. A letter of appreciation was written to the donors by each member of the class, some of which were very original. That tht price of wool is likely to go to 40 cents a pound in the spring ana mat growers will do well not to contract their wool at this time is the view of W. L. Thompson of Portland, expressed to the East Oregonian when in Pendleton one day the past wees. Mr. Thompson, who was formerly president of the American National bank, bases his view on the fact that there is now but 24 million pounds ot territorial wool in the countrty and buying interests have awakened to the fact there is a shortage. With the high tariff in vogue foreign wools cunnot be successfully imported. There has been no contracting in the Northwest it is said, but some Utah and Nevada wool has been scld, the highest price so far being 30 cents per pound. Consignment houses are now offering to advance growers $1.50 per fleece which amounts to an advance of 16 cents a pound to the grower. The fact that they are willing to go so strong in he way of advancing money on the new clip bears out the theory that the market is to be strong. Mr. Thompson ascribes the ad vancing price of wool to supply and demand and the increased price of I w ool is .strengthening sheep prices. Money made available by the war finance board has also been a con siderable factor in brinein? sheen prices out of the depressed figures that prevailed for a time. According to M. Thompson he has been cooperating w ith Dr. C. J. Smith in efforts to make it possible for a stock company to secure war pnance money lor use ny needy farmers in the northwest. and Fordson tractor retail sales for the same periods show an in crease of over 100 per cent for De cember 1921, as well as an increase oxer the total tractor sales for the month of November. These facts seem to indicate that I nc only are the farmers buying more freely, but that the general public is becoming more responsive and re' ceptive. ... . . . rtnorner point orougnt out Dy a comparison of production figures for the past two years shows that Ford enclosed cars are gaining in popular ity, as 23 per cent of the 1921 produc tions were Sedans and Coupes as against a total of 18 per cent for the year previous. Recent reductions in Ford car and truck prices brought them to a new low level. The touring car now sells for $343 therunabout for $319, the Coupe for $580, the Sedan for $645, the Chassis for $285 and the truck for $430, all F. 0. B. Detroit. This is the fourth price cut in the past sixteen months. During that time tne price of the touring car alone has been cut from $577 to $348, a re duction of 40 per cent. Reductions en some of the other types have been even greater. The Ford company believes that this reduction, while not a large one, '? especially importnat at this time as it should go a long way toward sta bilizing market conditions. Ford is giving employment at pre sent to approximately 40000 men in his main plant at Detroit, the im portance of which is emphasized when consideration is given to the fact that nearly 20 percent of the city's population is directly dependent upon the Ford Motor company. A. Henriksen Sells 6000 Sheep to Gentry&Boylen One of the largest sheep deals that has taken place in Morrow county for some time, was closed last week, when A. Henriksen of Cecil sold 6000 head to L. V. Gentry of Hepp ner and Tom Boylen of Pendleton. Mr. Henriksen bought these sheep This move however, last fall and has been keeping them Ford Retail Sales Go Over HEPPNEE HI LIFE (Continued from Flrit Pace.) Lexington. Condon won a game from Lexington and last Saturday night our team won over Condon. Shall Lexington have the champion ship? Show your loyalty and support your high school by appearing at the game Saturday night and don't forget cheering is free. We wonder why people don't at tend basketball games better and back up the high school. The total receipts from the last game was just a little over thirty-two dollars. We guaranteed Condon fifty dollars and we had to go eighteen dollars behind to bring them here. Something rad ically wrong, folks! A strange disease called by some "Themitis," seems to have attacked the biology class during the past two weeks and cases are reported where the patient even mumbled "Six thou sand words, oh my bones and body that means at seven words a line, twenty lines a page, etc." All night long in their sleep. Upon close in vestigation it was found that a s thousandword paper had to be hand ed in to Mr. Heard by a certain time. A remedy known as "study" and ap plied until about nine o'clock in the evening seems to be the most ef fective one so far discovered. Mr. James has said that any time there were six boys in the high school making an honest effort to quit the use of tobacco, they will be A. M. Phelps was a passenger for Portland on Sunday, expecting to be absent for the week. On Monday he expected to visit with his father, Rev. Stephen Phelps and join with him in the celebration of his birth day. Mrs. Phelps was called to Eu gene early last week on account of the illness of Miss Elizabeth, but when Mr. Phelps went below she was reported better and he expected to meet his wife and daughter in Portland. Lexington Church of Christ. The four weeks' revival meeting with Evangelist F. W. Zook and wife closed on January 29, with 37 addi tions, 23 of which came by confes sion and baptism, and 14 by state ment or renewal. Also 12 young people responded to the call for life work recruits. These are excep tional results for a town this size when the country people were prac tically cut off from the meeting on account of the zero weather and snow drifts. One feature of the meeting which is always worthy of merit was the splendid way that the church met the financial side. The evangelists came on the weekly sal ary plan. Weekly pledges were made before their arrival, and these, to gether with the loose offerings taken up at every service, constituted the financial plan. All bills for the meeting were met without any finan cial drive whatever. The local min ister lead the singing and the choir furnished the special music. The beautiful solos by Mrs. W. L. Holmes were very much appreciated all thru the meeting. Evangelist Zook made strong emphasis on the spiritual prayer life and righteous character of the Christian life and he hit all sin as hard as possible. He believes, practices and preaches the prayer life and he also preaches the second coming of Christ.

The Ford factory and assembly plant production figures reached a to tal of 1,050,740 cars, trucks and trac tors for the year, with retail sales by dealers approximating 1,093,000, which in the United States alone sur passed the 1920 retail sales record that the business is looking up, es pecially for good stuff, and Mr. Hen riksen believes that our flockmasters will soon be getting on top again. He thinks now that he will give at tention to cattle for the coming sea son, as that end of the stock industry appeals to him and its future looks good. lllllllllllllllllllllllIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllU 1 SPECIAL BARGAINS AT 1 j The Cash Variety Store f 6 CUPS AND SAUCERS, plain white ami white and gold $1,25 TUMBLERS 5 Cents Each 1 SUGAR AND CREAMERS, per set 50 Cents f Big Values For Little Money Embroidery and Crochet Cotton in. new colors.
