THE GAZETTE-HUES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY. MAY 4, 1022. PAGE FIVE oaai 1 J. W. Morrow, of the Union Pacific oilicfcs in Portland, visited in Hepp ner several days this week, looking after business affairs here. Asked concerning the political situation, pertaining to the governorship, Mr. Morrow, who takes a keen interest always in matters political, having formed the habit early in his career in Morrow county, thinks that Gover nor Ben Olcott stands the best chance to win out for the nomination, his closest competitor being I. L. Patter son of Polk county. Mr. Morrow had nothing to say regarding the candi dates on the democratic ticket, ap parently believing that they stand lit tle show of success in the finals, and being a democrat, he no doubt thinks more of "Our Ben" than of the other republican aspirants. The Cohn Auto Co. has secured the local agency for the Kohler Light plant, and have one of the little ma chines on exhibition in their window at the garage. It is a marvel of per fection and a great light producer, and is attracting much attention. This machine should prove to be a fine in vestment in electric lighting for pri vate dwellings and for houses and bains on the farms. Mrs Mary Gorman and son, Law rence Perry, spent a couple of days in Heppner at the end of the week. Mrs. Gorman states that weather con ditions are improving in the Lone Kotk country, and the -farmers" are beginning to get at their plowing. It has been a backward, wet season in the locality where Mrs. Gorman re sides and the snow has remained on late. Joseph Eskelson was in the city on Saturday. He is again at the Eskel son farm near Lexington, not being able to keep away from the environ ment of a Morrow county wheat ranch. He states that he has pur chased a nice residence at Salem, where Mrs. Eskelson is geting set tled, but city life has no charm for film . I Ben Moore departed on Sunday for . Hot Lake, Ore., where he expects j to remain for some time, receiving treatments. Ben has been in a rather ; bad condition, physically for months,: his trouble no doubt being the out- j growth of the strenuous duties he; was called on to face while in the ! service in France. Mr. and Mrs. Chester Darbee and their daughter, Miss Gwendolyn, are leaving this week on an extensive visit to the old home of Mr. Darbee near New York city. They expect to be gone for a touple of months and will visit relatives and friends at in tervening points, both going and re turning. Chas. Latourell departed for Boardman, where he has a service station on the Columbia highway, on Tuesday. He was accompanied by Chuck Bell and expected to make a trip to Portland before returning to Heppner. E. M. Huldcn, candidate on the republican ticket for nomination as joint representative in the legisla ture for Morrow and Umatilla coun ties, is in Umatilla county this week, getting acquainted with the voters. Marion Evans was up from the Willow creek farm on Saturday. They experienced quite a heavy frost on Friday night and the new alfalfa was pretty badly "curled" Saturday morning, but not injured.

Lippman, author of the "Martha" stories, will be given by the junior and senior classes at the high school auditorium Friday eve ning, May 12. It is altogether a gentle thing, this play. It is full of quaint humor, old fashioned, homely sentiment, the kind that people who see the play will recall and chuckle over tomor row and the next day. Miss Lippmann has herself adapt ed her very successful book for stage service, and in doing this has selected from her novel the most telling incidents, infectious comedy, and homely sentiment for the play, and the result is thoroughly delight ful.

May 18, Junior-Senior Banquet. May 19, Commencement. The baseball game played here be tween Heppner High Independents and lone high school ended with a score of 5 to 6 in favor of the home team. Although all our boys played good ball, the work of Witcraft, pitch er, and Clabough, catcher, is especial ly to be commended. The freshman class with their ad visor went up the creek for a picnic Wednesday after school. From all the noise heard from the different members the next day, we have about decided that they nad as gooj a time as the rest of us. Last Tuesday morning students who were startled by weird sounds issuing from the music room, were highly pleased, and listened eagerly, when Mr. James explained that Mr. Heard was going to play the piano and the physics class would sing. But we were doomed to disappointment, for they were only having a lesson on sound. The sophomore class, thinking it was about time they were having their' good times, went up Willow creek cn a picnic Thursday, April 27. They thought the ordinary games were too common, so they had a tree-climbing contest, and since they were all such good climbers it a.- hard to tell which one was best. As weenies are characteristic of most of our picnics, they had weenies and other good eats. They all say the usual thing, "Had a dandy time." Picnics are still the "go" the "poor little freshies" having planned a picnic for one of their events this week. When asked why the seniors didn't go on a picnic we were told, "Well, they can't all agree on going; where they will go, and when they jwill go. Now you have the whole I thing in a nut shell. Mr. Heard was out of town Fri- . day, April 30, on business. The stu U'ents in his classes were dismissed ' as soon as their other classes were jcver. Most of them think they can 'study better af;ei their short vaca tion. From the number of committee meetings and junior conferences with teachers, chefs, and clerks, we have about fooled the seniors into be lieving that they are going to be guests at a rare banquet. Last Monday Mrs. Hopper return ed to school after two weeks' ab sence, because of illness. We were all very glad to see her back again. The domestic science department after this week is going to discon tinue serving soup and those having tickets for more days will have their money refunded. There are so few taking soup, it was thought unnec essary to serve it. Hello Everybody! I am Flicker, and, of course, you will want to come and see me perform on May 12 in the high school play, "Martha By-the-Day." Martha says that I'm a pedigreed dog out of the Gutter and sired by Kicks. Even at that I'm not full-blooded, but I will be when Mar tha gets me fed up. I sure led a dog's life until Martha took me in, but I'm on . easy street now and if you want to see what a dog does when hes on easy street just come and see me in "Martha By-the-Day." Truthfully yours FLICKER. FOR SALE Six head of good work horses, weight 1300 to 1400 pounds; 1 2-bottom 14-inch gang plow practically new. Inquire this office. tf. Thomson Bros.
