Subscription $2.00 Per Year . . - . . : : EPIR'5 FIRST 4 Crowd! Totalling More Then 40M Witness Wild Weet Production Psgesnt Well Managed and May Become Annual Feat.ro Here. . Tha success of Heppner'e Drat Ro deo, tha fin manner in which It waa handled throughout, tho record breaking crowda in attendance, have combined to encourage our folki to make the pageant an annual affair for Heppner, and there noma little doubt now but this will be tho caae. The weather conditiona were Ideal, following tho big rain on Tuesdsy night, and the manner in which the event! at the ground! were all pulled off combined to put the . large crowda in daily attendance in the best of apiriti, and tha performance! of all three days were greatly enjoyed. Tha record crowds were in the city on Friday and Saturday, however, and more than 4000 people witnessed the parades on the streets and the stunts at Gentry field. And then there were just hundreds and hundreds of sutos, parked in a aemi-elrcle entirely sur rounding the track that made a grand spectacle of itself. Of course, by comparison with tha big Pendleton event, Heppner's Ro deo was not large, but it was im mensely pleasing to our people be cause the participants and ths stock were all local. The rain had put tha track and arena in fine ahape for all events and the management caused everything to move up promptly with no delays to cause impatience on the part of the audience. A nice feature of the Rodeo was tha paradea each day these being especially fine on Friday and Satur day. They were led by the officials and Queen Marjorle (Miss Harjorie Clark), followed by hundreds of cow boys, cowgirls and others on horse back, with the Ford caravan filling in for good measure and the band from The Dallea making good music. C. W. McNeraer .L. V. Gentry and C. H. Latourell were the efficient committee In charge, and R. J. Cara ner of Spray, Chance Wilson of Mon ument and Ben Jory of Hermliton, were judges of events, and gsve per fect satisfaction in all decisions ren dered. No serious accidents occurred and there waa no one hurt, except one of the little mules from ths Billy Padberg ranch, used in the bucking contest, which in lome manner broke a front leg and had to be shot. Ths evening entertainments were carried on at the fair grounds and here the merry-go-round and Ferris wheel furnished much amusement for the kiddies and young folks, while others snjoyed the dances in the pa vilion and helped along the Legion boys by partaking of refreshment! at the "bar" and patronizing the various games, reminders of events long past, The awards of the various track and arena events follow: Burkina- Contest J.

The sale will be on prompt ly after the noon hour, and Mr. Keller requests that all articles be in and listed before that time. FIRE PREVENTION VS. FIRE FIGHTING This Country Behind Earope in Pre vention of Fire, But Fir Fight ing Efficiency la Greater. While the equipment and efficiency of lire departments on this aide of the water ia much superior to that of European fire departments, ths fire loss per capita ia six tlmea aa great here as It is in tha principal countries of Europe. The reason is that little attention ia paid here to the prevention of fire. whereas abroad fire is regarded as a erime and steps are taken to fix re sponsibility for It whenever it occurs. In Europe they are evidently not un der the delusion that insurance pays all the loss, but realise that what is consumed by the flaroea ia gone for ever, and can not be restored. Insur ance is but a means of distributing the fire waste tax. While the public here complains about fire insurance rates, it does not take tha sure wayto get lower rates by following the example of the coun tries of Europe and enacting and en forcing measures for the prevention of fire. The people prefer to psy the losses of their neighbors caused by carelessness, etc., rather than compel their neighbora to build aafely and maintain their premises in a clean and orderly manner, so aa to reduce the danger of fire not only to their own property but to the the property of tha entire community. Little or no effort ia made to fix responsibility on those through whose negligence fires are permitted to start. In European countries rsponsibility attaches for damage done to your neighbor's property by a fire originat ing on your own premises, and there are, besides, penalties for fires aris ing through avoidable causes. Every fire is investigated. The development of fire depart ments here has nearly all been along the line of fire fighting, while fire prevention has been the study of Eu rope. While their fire righting ap paratus and efficiency of personnel do not compare with ours, they do not have tha fires to fight, and their fire loss is one-sixth ours." It haa been aptly pointed out that while we have been spending our time devising new and more powerful types of apparatus, and also building wood en cities, Europesn countries have been studying the fire resisting power of materials of construction and have taken advantage of the latest knowl edge of construction to enact modern building lawa, with tha rsult that they have substantial cities and a low fire loss. They have thus minimised the insurance tax, not by expert fire fighting, but by fire prevention. F, Introduction of Power Machinery Haa Made Agricultural One of the Hazardoae Pursuits. "S In the Extension Service News of the Oregon Agricultural College for August the following article of gen eral interest is found and all further information relative to the subject can be obtained by correspondence with the State Industrial Accident Commission at Salem: While in practically every state having compensation laws agriculture is excluded In one way or another from the enumeration of "hazardous employments," yet every authoritative writer on the subject admits or as serts that there is no practical reason for the exclusion. Carl Hookstadt, of the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, who has made an exhaust ive study of the compensation laws and their history in this country and in Europe, In referring to that phase of the question, says: "Tha reason for the almost univer sal exclusion of agriculture in the United States can hardly lie in the fact of its nonhazardous character. European experience, combined with available accident statistics in this country, proves quite conclusively that agriculture is a highly hazard ous employment." Many forme of effort on the farm and in the orchard and garden which were heretofor performed by hand and with the aid of horse power, are today prosecuted with power-driven machinery, thus multiplying the pos sibilities of accident, aa well as in creasing tho serious nature of injuries liable to occur. There are many situations arising in tha employment of farm labor wherein a serious injury would be painfully oppressive. The cases are few and exceptional among farmers wherein either the employer or the workman could bear the financial loss incident to a bad accident without serious inconvenience. The individual farmer who hires a few hands nearly all tha time and hires a greater num ber during certain ' seasons, could easily be placed in very bad circum stances by an accident. Many farm ers frequently call in a few neighbors to help in harvest, or threshing, or hauling or wood cutting. Those neigh bors may be in moderate circum stances, perhaps with families to sup port If one of them sustained a se vere injury he is entitled to make claim for damages. If a neighbor he does not wish to press such claim; the employer recognises a duty on his part to help the stricken man and his family; hence, no matter what the decision reached, there Is suffering and embarrassment. If the farmer is under the Compen sation Act all that is avoided. Thru the amall contributions made month ly to the state fund the injured work man ia taken care of both as to medi cal attention and compensation for time loss and all the disagreeable complications and anxieties are re moved. There is no humiliation or hardship and the needed help is sup plied at once. No moral, legal, or friendly responsibility remains Un fulfilled. There is an Independence and self-preservation about it that should commend the arrangement to every thinking mind. The only thing the average cltiien is sure of ia that no matter who is in power, there will b taxes. Bin E Prominent Southern Man Gave Res- sons Why Oregoei Should Not Pass Compulsory School Measure. Good Audience to Hear Him, Hon. Dudley G. Wooten, former congressman from Texas and ex-am' bassador to Mexico, as well as being a fellow graduate of Wood row Wilson from Princeton University, was in Heppner on Saturday, and in the eve ning addressed a large gathering of citizena in front of Hotel Patrick on "The Government Ownership of Chil dren." His. address was in opposi tion to the school bill coming up to be voted on at the general election in November. Mr. Wooten is a very scholarly gen tleman, and his address, which was not lengthy, waa delivered in an earn est spirit, free from rancor, and his message was apparently well received- He showed himself to be thoroughly familiar with the educational biil, and stated in part: "This so-called Compulsory Educa tion Bill, which is really a bill to es tablish state monopoly of education, and ultimately of religion, belongs to the family of visionary and vicious measures that are being conceived in a spirit of hostility to existing insti tutions, and propagated by a cam paign of deception, bigotry, preju dice and misguided zeal for impossi ble and undesirable reforms. A long time ago the wise old Englishman, Dr. Samuel Johnson, said that 'patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel,' and an equally wise American, Oliver Wendell Holmes, said that 'the desire to better their fellows frequently leads men along the verge of the abyss of mental unsoundness.' I will not say that all of the advocates of this bill are scoundrels or insane, but I will say that there is a considerable number of its noisiest supporters who are unsound in principle and distort ed in mentality, and these agitators, by the very violence of their attacks upon religion, morality and common decency, have deluded many good peo ple into believing that there is a real necessity for such legislation. An other class behind the bill is more dangerous, because more plausible and insidious in its fallacious argu ments, which has in view the utter destruction of the American system of constitutional government, and the substitution therefor of a Prussian ized, despotic state, whose autocracy would obliterate all individual and personal liberty and make the citi zens slaves of an organized state monopoly from the cradle to the grave. Such a system is worse than Prtisaianism it is Russian Sovteasni, the most hideous form of Socialism, that has been put into effect by Le- nine and Trotsky, to the consterna tion of the civilized world and the desolation of Russia. "This bill ought to be called a bill to estublish the government owner ship of children, for it seeks to usurp the right and duties of parents, to make them mere trustees for state tyranny and monopoly, to step be tween the fathers and mothers of the land and their offsprings, to disrupt the sacred ties and obligations of do mestic life, to tear asunder those whom God hath joined together, and to dominate the Uvea and liberties of coming generations by standardiz ing and compelling a course of public education for the youth of the coun try that will be sterilizedof all re ligious and moral culture and adopt ed to the forecable establishment of a socialized commonwealth, in which children will be reared after the man ner of a poultry-yard or a stock farm. 'The fundamental motive of this proposed change in the educational system of the State of Oregon is to banish all recognition of religion, and morality founded upon religion, from the schools of this state. "The enormous expense that will be entailed upon the taxpayers of Ore gon if this bill becomes a law is be yond question, but it la difficult to accurately estimate. From official and unofficial sources it appears there are about fourteen thousand children in the private schools of the state who will be compelled to go to public schools under the proposed law, Ac cording to modern educational meth ods, thirty-five children are allotted to each school room, which means four thousand new school rooms for these children, and according to the statistics for modern school buildings there is an average cost of ten thous and dollars for each school room. This means an increased expense of $4,000,000, to be paid for either in bonds or by direct taxation. "This bill was instituted by fraud, misrepresentation, and misunder standing," the speaker further stated. "The men who fathered the bill false ly claimed they had obtained 60,000 signatures in one day, when as a mat ter of fact, after the secretary of state has rejected the names of those duplicated and illegal, there were in round numbers 16,000 petitioners for the measure." Speaking of those opposed to the bill, the speaker said, "we find there have been filed with the Secretary of State at Salem, strong arguments against it by the Lutherans, Seventh Day Adventists, the Catholics, the Episcopalians, the Presbyterians, the principals of leading private schools and a number of prominent citizens and taxpayers of the city of Portland of all shades of religious belief, and some of them with no religion, and some of them leading Masons. In fa vor of the bill we find that the lead ing element is the secret organiza tion known as the Ku Klux Klan, with its auxiliaries under the fantastical names of the 'Ladies of the Invisible Kmpire' and the 'Royal Riders of the Red Robe.' " In conclusion Mtv- Wooten stated his lellef that if the bill is adopted it will have the effect of working much injury to the state of Oregon, and hinder enormously the develop ment of resources and Increase of population in this state. His idea was that this state cannot possibly afford to adopt a law like this. Miss M. Clowery, nurse in the office of Dr, McMurdo, who has been spend ing a vacation of some three months, returned home on Tuesday. Former Preacher Here Leaves Oakland Church A recent issue of the Oakland, Cali fornia, Tribune contains tha follow ing item of interest to many of oar readers: Dr. H. A. Van Winkle, for six yean pastor of the First Christian church, who has presented his resignation to that body, was given a farewell re ception last night in the church par lors by the Loyal Young People'i class and the Christian Endeavor so ciety of the church. ! A varied program was presented in which the young people's organiza tions of the church were represented and expressed their regret at the loss of Dr. Van Winkle, who expects to leave in a few weeks to do evange listic work. A biography of Dr. Ves Winkle- and hia work while at tfr-J church being emphasized was giveu. Dr. Van Winkle waa presented with a leather traveling bag, as a gift from the two organizations tendering the reception. Morrow County Will Have Smut Nursery. In order to more carefully check upon the value of the different chemi cals for treating wheat for smut and to try out some of the smut resistant wheat, arrangements were made by the County Agent with County As sessor J. J. Wells near Heppner for a amall strip of summer fallow, where numeroua testa will be made during this coming year. D. E. Stephens of the Moro experiment station is fur nishing a number of varieties of smut-resisting wheat which have been heavily amutted, which will also be tried out in this nursery. In addition to the valuable data which should be obtained from these plots many of the farmers will find it worth while to visit them next spring to get first-hand information. - Ross Evangelistic Team To Hold Meetings Here The Ross Evangelistic Company, now engaged in holding meetings in Portland, have been secured for a meeting with the Christian church in thi j city, to begin the first Sunday in December. It is expected that the new church edifice will be near enough completed by that time, and if so, the meetings will be held there, otherwise different arrangements will be made. Live Cecil News Items. With due deference to the readers and families of Cecil who have suf fered a sad bereavement during the week the Cecil items will not appear. THE WRITER. I have no wish to write an obituary but would like to say a few words re garding Mrs. Henriksen, of Cecil, who passed into the Great Beyond at Port land Sanitarium on September 25th, 1922, and was buried at Mt Scott cem etery on Septembr 30. Archdeacon Rev. Geo. B. VanWaters of Oregon conducted the burial services. I have known the deceased lady since she first came amongst us and found her a lady of sterling qualities, ever ready and willing at any time to sympathize and help all those in trouble and also join in with all our merry doings. Be loved and sadly missed by all of us. A devoted wife and mother. Our deep est sympathies are extended to the sorrowing family and Since she would no longer stay To be with those she loved, We trust they may all meet again In the bright world above. Be strong We are not here to play, to dream, to drift, We have hard work to do and loads to lift, Shun not the struggle, face It; It's God's gift. In sympathy, A CECIL FRIEND. Wm. Hendrix returned yesterday from a short visit to Pendleton, when he went to obtain some advice from a physician. He states that Umatilla county was visited by a heavy rain, and in the Adams and Weston sections it rained excessively. He Is also rejoicing over the splendid fall of rain this county haa received, even though it did catch a lot of his cutting of alfalfa down. That Turkish Tobacco USE LIME BATH E County Agent Calkins Gives Results of Tests Recently Made In Wheat Treatments. Using Lime Bath In creases Germination. By C. C. CALKINS, County Agt . We have repeatedly called attention to the importance of dipping wheat in the lime bath following treatment with bluestone. These recommenda tions have been based upon careful experiment made In treating wheat. A large number of the fannen who have ' been -treating with- Milestone this fall, have adopted this practise. A test which waa recently made at the Northwest Hay and Grain Show at Pendleton shows up a different ger mination where the lime bath was used and no doubt will be of interest to many. Below we are listing the germination percentage obtained by the different methods of treatment: No treatment .98 perct Copper Carbonate .. .94 perct Bluestone (1 lb. to 5 gal., soaked for five minutes, followed by lime bath) 87 perct Bluestone (as above without lime bath .. 64 perct Formaldehyde (1 to 40 soaked 5 minutes) 81 perct. It will be noted that an increase of 23 per cent was obtained by dipping in the lime bath. The procedure rec ommended is to soak the wheat in the bluestone solution for five minutes, let it drain and then dip it in a lime bath made by dissolving one pound of lime to each ten gallons of water. The lime bath is inexpensive and should be changed occasionally. In all tests where copper carbonate waa used the stand has been practic ally the same as for untreated wheat Between twenty and twenty-live thousands acres will be seeded in Morrow county this fall with wheat treated with Copper Carbonate, in addition to this the office is arranging for numerous checks on other farms scattered over the county as com pared with formaldehyde, bluestone, Seed o San and Corona Copper for the control of smut. The date of emer gence and the difference in stands will also be checked upon. Will Hold Clinic For Children At Institute Dr. Stella Ford Warner, of Port land, who is to be one of the lecturers and instructors at the coming annual teacher's institute, is announced to hold a clinic for school children from 6 to 14 years of age. The clinic will be held on Monday, Oct. 16, the first day of the institute just the one day only, and Dr. Warner will be assisted by Mrs. Lulu Johnson, public health nurse for Morrow county. This clinic will be of much interest and benefit to the school pupils, and should be largely attended. CARD OF THANKS. Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Lowe and family of Cecil wish to thank Dr. Chick, Mrs. Ray Moore and their staff of nurses at the Moore Hospital and also every one who were so kind in calling on their son and brother, T. W. Lowe, and for respective offerings of flow ers, etc., during his illness while in the hospital. Registration Books To Close Saturday, Oct. 7 The registration books for voters will close on Saturday, Oct. 7, and from present indications there will be many who will have to go to a lot of trouble in order to vote at the' coming state election. Besides many new voters in the county, there are many who, because they failed to vote at previous elections, have had their names stricken from the registration books, and it will be necessary for these to register again. It will be up to these folks to get a move on them selves if they get their names on the books before Saturday night Mr. Pierce Would Ac cept Aid In Campaign Indicating that the Pierce-for-Gov- ernor campaign will be earned direct to the people before the rapidly on coming day of election, an advertise ment is appearing simultaneously this week in the newspapers of the state making a plea for dollar subscriptions on the basis that this candidate ia one of the people and dependent upon ths rest of the people to elect him. The issue seems to dwell particu larly upon reduced taxes and no hint is given or claim made of party or partisan affiliations, but a clear cut delineation of government for the people and by the people. In the matter of campaign expenaes it is pointed out that Mr, Pierce him self is hardly able to bear the brunt of placing hia cause before tha vot ers of Oregon, and, unsupported by wealthy and influential corporations, it haa been necessary to depend upon the small contributions of those who may have both a dollar and a vote. A clean campaign is pledged through out FIRST CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Political rallies, educational rallies, social rallies, are all well, but no more in order than a Bible School Rally. This will be observed on Sun day next and every member of the Bible School is expected to be pres ent nd strangers in town, and vis itors in general, are cordially invited. The services begin at ten o'clock and will close about noon. The rallying will be continued through the day. The Junior Christian Endeavorers at 4 p. ra., the Senior Endeavorers st 6:30 and the evening song and preaching service at 7:30. Yon sill be given a cordial greeting. LIVINGSTONE. Some Business Transpires In Court of Judge Cornett Judge Cornett transacted some business in his court during the week, a number of cases of infraction of the laws of the state coming up to be heard, which were disposed of as fol lows: , For being drunk snd disorderly on - Saturday, Bill Taylor was assessed a : fine of $25 and costs, and on a similar charge, Dan Downing of Pendleton, who was here during Rodeo time, was asked to contribute (50 and costs.

John Smith was another offender whose case was dis posed of on Monday by Judge Cornett How the Widow Expressed Thanks. Senator Arthur Capper, of Kansas, says he saw this card of thanka from a widow in a Kansas paper some years ago: "I desire to thank my friends and neighbors most hesrtily in this man ner for the aid and cooperation dur ing the illness and death of my late husband, who escaped from me by the hand of death on Friday last while choking at his breakfast. To the friends and others who contributed so willingly toward making the last mo ments and funeral of my husband a success I desire to remember most kindly, hoping these few lines will find them enjoying the same blessing. I have a good milch cow and roan gelding horse five years old which I will sell very cheap. God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to per form; He plants his footsteps on the sea, and rides upon the storm; also a black shote, very low," A very Important business meeting relativ to the new building projet will be held by the Christian Church at the home of the pastor on Thursday evening at 7:30. As many members as possible should by all means be present Mrs. M. Belle Thompson of Port land has been spending ths week here, being s guest at the home of her son, Ralph, on Willow creek. She expects to return home on Sunday. NEW FILM EPIC OF SMALL TOWN LIFE Hopes a ad Fears, Laaghs sad Tears of Average Family la "' Woman Knows." "No Woman Knows," at the 8tar Theatre Saturday, has established so other enviable record in silent drama achievement Directed by Tod Browning, the story was adopted for ths screen from "Fanny Herself," the humanly inter esting and widely read novel by Edna Ferber. "No Woman Knows" flashes from the mountain tops of intense emotion al feeling to the quiet valley of home ly realism, from the earnest natural ness of family life to the intricate expression of extreme dramatic sig nificance. Through it all runs a ten der theme of self-sacrificing instinct or mother and sister love a theme of universal interest and import Tod Browning has proved himself s master in selecting types and estab lishing atmosphere in "No Woman Knows." "Fsnny Herself" Is portrayed by Mabel Julienne Scott, who brings to the role a marvelously perfect and in telligent interpretation and who at tains to remarkable heights of dram atic and emotional expression. Miss Scott is supported by an ex cellent east, including Grace Marvin, Earle Schneck, Max Davidson, Rich ard Cummlngs, Joseph Swickard, John Davidson, Stuart Holmes, E. A. War ren, Snitz Edwards, Danny Hoy, Ray mond Lee, Bemiee Radom, Joseph Stearns, Dorothy Dehn and Eugenie Forde. Intimately and humorously "No Woman Knows" introduces ths au dience into the family life of a small town couple and their two gifted chil dren and so naturally is the story strung together with human incidents and the strength snd weakness of hu man nature that tears and laughter intermingle in a common bond of sympathetic understanding. No Woman Knows" contains all the elements of a mora than usually interesting picture and combines the dramatic with the humorous in a nat ural and unaffected manner. NOTICE TO PUBLIC.
