ACCIDENTAL
I-
iNG OF HI FATAL
By the accidental discharge of his
ritle, Charles Padgett, 21 years of age
who was working for Earl Wigles
worth on Butter creek, was instantly
killed while out on the range, the
body being found late Saturday eve
ning when he had failed to return at
the proper time. The bullet from
the rifle passed directly through his
heart. The body was located about
two miles from the ranch, near a
camp where the man had been herd
ing a band of sheep. Padgett carri
ed a rifle arcoss his saddle, and in
vestigation made by officers led them
to believe the gun was accidentally
discharged when he was dismounting
or removing the rifle from the scab
bard. The body was left where found
and Coroner Case summoned from
Heppner, and in company with Sher
iff McDuffee and Dist. Arty. Notson
repaired immediately to the scene of
the tragedy. The body was brought
to Heppner after a coroner's jury
rendered a verdict of accidental
death.
Mr. Padgett came here a few
months ago from Galax, Va., where j
he leaves a wife and one child. The i
body was prepared for shipment and
on Wednesday was started on Its
way to Virginia, Kyle Cox, who was
returning to his home at that place,
accompanying the remains.
E. P. Dodd of Hermiston was in
Morrow county yesterday calling on
the voters in the interest of his can-j
didacy for joint representative. He'
states that the contest in Umatilla
county revolves around Ku-Kluxism.
He is opposed to the Ku Klux pro
gram. He is a taxpayer in both Uma
tilla and Morrow counties and advo
cates tax reduction wherever possi
ble and practical, adjustment in fav
or of real estate which bears so
heavy a burden. He is opposed to
any effort toward county division and
very much in favor of north and
south roads.
Editor Sam Pattison of the Herald
was a passenger out for Portland
yesterday morning, thither bound on
business.

Health, Happiness Through
Good Care of the Teeth
(By Roy Lindstrom, 8tii Grade.)
Health and happiness go hand in
hand, for in perfect health the or
dinary functions of life are perform
ed without conscious effort. Alerely
to be alive is a source of enjoyment.
A large proportion of illness is due
to the ignorance of the laws of hy
giene. While knowledge in itseit is
not suiiicient to insure good health,
Knowledge reinforced by a strong de
sire or enthusiasm by self-control and
perseverance will certainly go a long
way in obtaining it.
In order to be healthy one has to
be properly nourished; and the teeth
play a most important part in pre
paring the food for the use of the
body. If the teeth are decayed, sore
and tender, they cannot chew the
food properly; or if some teeth are
gone the chewing of food is inter
fered with.
Food that must be well chewed
has the effect of exercising the teeth
and jaws, exciting the flow of saliva
and the secretion of the gastric juice.
Also the organs of digestion require
material that will stimulate the activ
ities for which they are designel. So
pre-digested foods should be partial
ly avoided.
Teeth become decayed and loose
through neglect in cleaning them,
lack of exercise, and disease. Some
times children's teeth are started on
the road to destruction before they
are old enough to care for the teeth
themselves. So the mothers should
be made to realize how important
it is to brush their teeeth for them
until they can do it for themselves. .
Many serious diseases have their
origin in infection arising in decayed
teeth. And as in other matters of
hygiene prevention is preferable to
cure. One cannot expect to attain
perfect health without patient effort.
So by carefully tending sound teeth
and submitting them to examination
by a dentist impairment may be de
ferred and trouble avoided.
Grain Growers Will Meet
May 19th at Heppner
All members of the Oregon Co
operative Grain Growers who reside
in Morrow County will get togeth
er for their annual meeting on Fri
day, May 19th at 2 p. m. for the pur
pose of electing their district dele
gates, and transacting such other
business that should come before a
regular meeting of that organization.
In order to avoid confusion it is
well for each member to bring his
ballot ready to vote and in case the
members desire to discuss the situa
tion they can do so and vote at the
meeting. The success of a coopera
tive association depends upon the in
terest which its members take in its
success. The by-laws provide that
the members shall elect the district
delegates who in turn elect the di
rectors, who in turn select the man
ager. It is highly important that the
memberss elect the proper men for
district delegates and this meetine
is arranged for by the by-laws of
the association for that very pur
pose.

Hulden Claims Morrow
County Should Have Place
E. M. Hulden of Heppner, candi
date for joint representative from
Morrow and Umatilla counties, was
in town yesterday. He bases his
campaign on the right of Morrow
county to have representation. The
joint representative is the only state
office sought by Morrow county and
that county is entitled to some rep
resentation. It would be an injust
ice to deprive Morrow county of that
office. Echo News.

For Joint Senator
To the Republican Voters of Uma
tilla, Union and Morrow counties
I respectfully solicit your support
in the primary election on May 19th
for the nomination on the republican
ticket for Joint Senator of the 19th
Senatorial District.
I have lived m Umatilla county
for the past thirty years and am a
taxpayer in each of the counties com
prising this district.
I have been a faithful worker in
the republican party for the past 25
years and an active and consistent
supporter at all times of the nomi
nees of my party.
If returned to the legislature I will
give the same loyal service to my
constituents that I rendered in 1913
and 1915 sessions and will devote
my entire time to the interests and
wishes of the people in Umatilla,
Union and Morrow counties.
For platform and public policy I
stand for retrenchment and tax re
duction proportionate to the lower
prices of labor and farm products
and think the present plan of high
way and market road construction
should be continued until a good and
sufficient system is provided for all
parts of the state.
Thanking you in advance for any
assistance you can give me in the
primaries and with a promise to re
turn my gratitude in service, I re
main, Yours, truly,
J. T. HINKLE.

EE DAY TO BE
The local campaign being organiz
ed for the collection of clothing for
the near-naked of the Near East is
part of the state-wide and nation
wide movement Volunteers have
been enlisted and the campaign or
ganized in practically every commun
ity in Oregon.
One pound of clothing for every
person residing in the state is the
suggested quota of spare clothes to
be collected on Bundle Day, May 24.
Churches, clubs, schools and many
other organized groups are collecting
clothing emphasizing the need of
providing warm winter clothes for the
protection of war-orphans and refu
gees in the Near East and Southeast
ern Russia.
"Warm clothes and shoes have to
do double duty in the Near East,"
says J. J. Handsaker, State Director
of the Near East Relief, who travel
ed extensively in that section last
summer. "Not only must they keep
out the wintry winds and snows out
of doors, but inside the house they
are called upon to replace furnaces
and stoves, for the scarcity of fuel
makes every day a heatless day in
many of the Near East orphanages."
It is not too much to ask the peo
ple of Oregon to take a trip to their .
attics on Bundle Day and lay aside
their cast-off garments to help clothe
the near-naked of the Near East.
Good is being done, on the other
hand, by offering the American peo
ple the opportunity to clean out their
closets of useless garments, the
warmth of which will save lives in
the Near East.
Take your bundle to the nearest
Bundle Station, or sen! directly to
Near East Relief, Portland. Bundles
should reach Portland not earlier
than May 24th or later than May
30th.
Oregon Voter Endorses
Starkweather for Governor
Of all the various democrats men
tioned for governor, none has the
record for old-fashioned common
sense executive ability that can be
shown by Harvey G. Starkweather.
He does not play to the galleries with
sob eloquence and he does not fol
low freaks, fads and fancies. When
Walter Pierce was flirting with the
Non-Partisan League, at a time when
it looked like the league might cut
a figure in Oregon, Starkweather
condemned it from the start. Later
Pierce condemned it. When so many
grange leaders were fighting the state
highway program Starkweather help
ed lay the constructive foundations
for what has resulted in our present
state highway system. He was a
powerful influence in enlisting
grange support in its behalf, and in
spite of the bitter opposition of most
of the grange leaders. Starkweather
is a dirt farmer who by thrift and
business ability built up his proper
ties to the point that he was able to
acquire profitable holdings of Port
land business property, which shows
that he is a good business manager
as well as a heavy taxpayer. Stark
weather is a solid citizen with deep
convictions, lots of determination
and a lot of horse sense. He would
jbe a strong candidate against whom
soever the republicans nominated
' and would make a eood governor for
i Oregon. Oregon Voter.
