OFFICIAL PAPER FOR MORROW COUNTY HOW TO PLAY THE GAME ; By Richard Lloyd Jones In the closing game of a minor league two teams were contesting for the pennant The bleachers were crowded with rival fans. The score was 5 to 4. The team at bat was four. The last half of the ninth inning was in play. There were two out, three men on bases, their best batter up. He found the ball and sentit far afield. The race of the bases started. The left fielder ran desperate ly to get the ball. He met it in the tall grass close to the far fence as the batter was on his way home, the three base runners before him. Into the tall grass the ball and the fielder fell. The grandstand rose; a hush held them. "Did he catch it?" was the thought on thousands of tongues. Out from the tall grass into which he had stumbled the fielder rose, holding high the ball. A mighty cheer arose. The four runners had touched home plate without a score. The fielder who held the ball had given his team the pennant. The cheers continued, wave after wave of cheers, until, the fielder lowered his hand that held the ball and raised the other hand in protest, dropped his head in humiliation and shook it "no." At once the thousand eyes upon him read the sign. The ball fell to earth, not into his hands. In his race in the high grass he had stumbled where instantly he could put his hand upon it. No one but himself and his God saw it. One never-to-be-detected falsehood would give his team the victory for which through all the long hot summer they had battled. Temptation spurred him but in the nobler sober second thought, con science triumphed and HE PLAYED THE GAME ON THE SQUARE. Victory was turned into defeat. But only for the moment. The hush that came over the grandstand, as they comprehended the act, first broke into cheers for the real winners, and then, the finer conscience and the true sportsmanship the play er had expressed possessed his disappoined rooters. They found that VICTORY was not wrapped up in the pennant. The pennant at best was but a rag of a tiling. The real victory was in playing the game on the square. And both the contending fans broke out in a cheer such as few diamond heroes ever heard. The fielder came in, and as he came his head lift ed from its depressed pose and he faced the throng THEIR HERO. The great American game is a builder of men. It is not the exhibition games that count the most. It is the game that is staged on the school ground and on the vacant lot that serves us best. The real game is played on the diamond that is not encircled by banner-bearing bleachers. The real game is played not on fields where all eyes may see. The real game is played in the far out field, in the uncut grass where ball and player meet unseen. He who can find victory there has learned the lesson of life that the great American game has to teach. He is the player who is a MAN. 4 The Pendleton East Orfvnnian cave rhat Walter M. Pierce has some tax eaualiratinn ideas that will work. He is the great "Moses" that can relieve us or our ouraens, out what are these ideas? The East Oregonian does not say, and Mr. Pierce has so far failed to give us anything tangible. The mere statement that he has such ideas is worth little to the man Who desires ta know what h pmIIv hac nn his sleeve. The facts stand against Mr. Pierce as a laxKeaucer, his legislative record proving that he was always and ever a booster for those meas ures which, having been adopted, are now breaking our backs wkh a burden of taxation. Lets know what he is going to do to lift the load. This community has been severely shocked in the passing of Oscar Minor. For so many years he has been intimately associated with the upbuilding of the town and county, and his friends were all the people who knew him. It is sad, indeed, to have a man like him so suddenly removed from our midst and his death has cast a gloom over the entire community. The fall clean-up for Heppner should now be in full swing. Let's get busy. THAT DOLLAR CONTRIBUTION The management of Walter Pierce's campaign for governor is making an appeal to the electorate of Oregon for dollar subscriptions to help the can didate's campaign. The plea is made that Mr. Pierce is the candidate of the people, that he has their interests at heart and is desirous of furthering their cause through the office of governor. All of which sounds pretty when coming from the fluent tongue or Mr. Pierce, or when coming from the pen of his capable manager, Hon. Thos. H. Crawford. But when simmered down to plain horse sense there is more an element of oldtime political bunk in the proposition than a heartfelt desire to fight the peoples' battles. Oregonians do not have to hark back many years in Oregon political history to recall the non-partisan campaign of Geo. E. Cham berlain. When George was running for office there were no political parties at least in his opinion there should be no parties yet, who ever accused the late senator of being anything but a democrat after he got into office. In the present campaign, the democratic nom inee's object seems to be to befog the issues through a constant harping on taxation. Like An drew Gump he stands 100 per cent for the people but as yet he has given no definite assurance that he stands for anything except "Pierce for Govern or." The fact that one man has contributed $5,000 to the Pierce campaign fund may cause many who were inclined to make the dollar contribution with hold their donation until the campaign management find a more stressing demand for funds.

Rockefller was a strug gling young bookkeeper in Cleveland he laid the foundation for his now great for tune by putting injo operation a very old but positive law of success. He wasn't satisfied with a $9 per week sal ary. He naturally wanted more but he had only one pair of handsand one head. So he saved AND PUT MONEY TO WORK for him his savings. Then he had TWO incomes instead of one. Two incomes are better than one.
