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.

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. Jospeh

Log Jam Shown In
Kelland's "Conflict"
rictur From Story By Popallar Au
thor Showi Bigzrst Thrill Erer
Sb ea the Strwa.
A rushing, roaring sweep at tesist
it's.i waters released from bondage a
mighty torrent of timber crushing,
grinding all before it logs bumping,
splintering in the snarling waters
sweeping all before its relentless
path. Such is one of the big thrills
in "Conflict."
The most gripping, soul-searing
moment ever filmed. Terrific in its
intensity, the mighty log jam, the
blowing up of the dam, and the
swashing torrent of felled forest is
the mightest spectacle of the cam
era's art.
In all its splendor, in all its ruth
less glory, "Conflict," Priscilla Dean's
wonderful new Universal-Jewel, com
ing to the Star Theatre next Satur
day, vividly records the actual dyn
amiting of a huge dam, and the
breaking loose of hundreds of thou
sands of the prisoned logs.
"Conflict," the sensational Red
Book serial by Clarence Budingtos
Kelland, is a mystery-drama, the rug
ged mountain country of the Cana
dian North Woods as its locale.
"Conflict" is the atory of a fight
the battle of two indomitable wills
the straggle for the mastery of the
logging industry.
The beauty of the photography and
the magnificent scenery of the Cana
dian North Woods country is unsur
passed.
Thousands upon thousands of huge
logs whirling through the dynamited
dam were caught by the six camera
men who risked their Uvea to attain
this remarkable film.
An entire logging camp, running at
full blast with all its men, was requi-
The most natural thing in the world is to criticize
the man who is on the job. His public acts are no
longer promises or theories; they are facts. Ol
cott was never noted as possessing a plausible ton
gue but his record as business executive is a good
one and will stand comparison with most of them.

Two Incomes
WHEN John D. 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. Your
wage, salary or crop profit may be fine but
when money comes to you in the form of in
terestas well as the other then you are
on the road to a comfortable old age.
TODAY is never too late to start a saving
account. It will pay you 4 percent here.
