Interest Keen. Second Meetinf Re
qeated, Which Will Be Held Next
Wednesday Morning at the Star
Theatre. Fred Wilson to bo Here.
. By. C. C. CALKINS, County Agent.
That ail the fanners and stockmen
are intensely interested in any means
of better financing their industry was
well made evident by the fact that
one hundred men were present to
hear George A. Mansfield, president
of the State Farm Bureau and Wade
Siler of the Producers Finance Cor
poration, at the Star theater yester
day, and discussed plans made for
agricultural finance through the Pro
ducers Finance Corporation.
Those present were interested
enough in the proposition presented
to ask for a second meeting to be
held one week later. Fred Wilson
will be present at this meeting which
will be held at the Star theater on
Wednesday, November 22nd, begin
ning at 10 a. re., to explain every
thing fully, answer all questions and
to assist in putting the Organization
in effect here if the fanners and
stockmen so desire.
Mr. Mansfield "pointed out very
ably the fac tthat better finance and
better marketing went hand in hand.
That Oregon farmers were facing
the question of organising for mar
keting and financing of their opera
tions or going out of business and
that it was true as many writers
have stated that prosperity was just
around the corner and that it would
stuy round the corner until the far
mer became prosperous because he
was the backbone of all industry and
that the farmers will only be able to
bring it back when organized in a
position to care for its own Interest
Mansfield stated further that there
are at least five measures before
Congress now, designed tq help the
farmer but any one of these if pass
ed would require that the farmer be
organized before he could get any
benefit from them. That Oregon
needs more settlers in order that we
may cheerfully divide our tax bur
den with them is an undisputed fact
but a committee sent out by the Port
land Chamber of Commerce to inter
view several thousand tourists who
stopped in the city camp gruonds in
Portland to ascertain how many of
them expected to settle, and where,
found that moat of them are going
to California. When asked why,
they stated that California is organ
ized to market her crops and when
informed that land would coat thm
flOOO or Utter then they still felt
assured that with an organised mar
ket they could make better interest
on their investment in that state.
Oregon is waking up. The Portland
Chamber of Commerce is getting
ready to appropriate a hundred and
fifty thousnnd dollars a year for two
years in order to educate farmers
and business men to the needs of
organised market, realizing that there
cannot be permanent or profitable
business in the state of Oregon nor
can it advance until her agriculture
is put on a better basis. Hand in
hund with this comes the financing
of the farmers, his needs' are not
nirety-day paper when he gets to
turn over only once a year.
Wale Siler of tho Producers Fi
nunco Corporation explained the na
ture of that organization and exact
ly what they expected to be able to
do for the farmers of Oregon, in a
direct way. The Producers Finance
Corporation will have capital stock
made up by subscriptions of farm
ere and stockmen over Oregon, Wash
ington, Idaho and Western Montana.
With this capital stock paid in they
will be able to go out and borrow at
least ten or fifteen times the amount
of the capital stock to be loaned to
sal dterritory. How loans can be
snid territory. How loans can be
made on growing crops and livestock
giving the producers longer term
credit was of considerable interest
to all. The snvings that can be made
to stockmen in the marketing of their
stock as shown by a number of simi
lar organizations in the United
States already operating wore recog
nized as practical and possible by
the stock men.
Hecauae questions of such impor
tance could not be fully explained and
people could not get all the de
tailed information that they desired
in the two houre available they re
quested that another meeting be held
on next Wednesday, Nov. 22, at 10
o'clock in the morning there at the
Opera House. Fred Wilson of the Pro
ducers Finance Corporation will be
present at that time to go into this
proposition in detail with the farmers
stockmen and business men of Mor
row County at that time. In order to
make sure that every community will
he well represented special requests
will be sent to groups of men in each
community especially requesting their
presence. Remember that evry farm
er, stockman and business man and
Bunker as well as their wives are in
vited to attend this meeting at the
Opera House on Wednesday, Nov.22,
beginning at 10 o'clock. Remember
too, that this meeting is called that
you might be fully informed of this
question which is of vital interest to
you, following which you can take
such action as you choose.

Objects to Dance For
Raising Rodeo Funds
I am very sorry to learn because of
a deficit the Heppner Rodeo have
decided to hold a dance.
We all know that fa the easiest
way to raise the money but is it
the best?
According to statistics 85 per cent
of our. fallen women eome directly
or indirectly from the dance. Wa all
know it la at the dance we can find
the booze. It is about to drag down
our manhood and womenhood. Con
ditions have been such in many of
our high schools over the country
where the dance is allowed that they
were compelled to rule it out of the
school.
Our nation is on a downward trend
and many of our big business men
are saying, "Wt must do something
to stop it."
As an American eitizen who loves
his country I protest against this de
grading way of raising money. Let
us make it easier for our young peo
ple to do right instead of making It
hard to do right
I have nothing saved up for a
rainy day but I will give lit towards
the Rodeo deficit if they will raise
the money by subscription instead
of a dance. Let us raise the money
in an honorable way.

Soils May Be Built Up
By Use of Farm Waste
Green Manure and Clover Crops
Trap Nitrogen, While Straw and
Stalks Return Plant Food.
"Careful handling and the use of
farm manure will go far toward main
taining the fertility of Oregon soils,"
says W. L. Powers, chief of soils at
the agricultural cailege station.
"Plant food lost in manure annually
Is much greater than that purchased
in the form of commercial fertilizers.
"Crop residues such as straw and
stalks contain a good portion of the
total plant food taken from the soil
by crops, in some cases as much as
the marketable crop.
"Legume straw is most valuable
on account of its higher nitrogen
content. Clover, bean or pea straw
should never be burned, as the plant
food it contains if purchased in fert
ilizers would amount to abaut (5 per
ton for this straw.
Grain straw should be returned to
the land in an active decaying con
dition. Its liberal use in bedding will
avoid the loss of liquid manure and
will increase the nitrogen content of
straw in proportion to the carbon
contained, which makes It safer to
use. This also inoculates the straw
with decay bacteria and makes it
safer to use on drouthy land."
Green manure or clover crops are
also valuable in trapping the nitrogen
or other plant food, otherwise leached
away by winter rains. Green manures
like vetth fix atmospheric nitrogen
through their association with bac
teria and make the soil so it can be
worked earlier in the spring, also
rendering it tmore mellow and re
tentive of moisture.
"Corn or potato ground should not
lie bare over winter In western Oreg
on, but should be seeded to vetch or
other cover which can be broadcast
on the soil if rains came before fall
grain or other drilled crops can be
planted," advises Professor Powers.

Brotherhood Discussion of Round-Up
Brings Out Many Arguments, With
Affirmative Predominating. Uma
tilla Rapids Project Next Moath.
The subject up for discussion at
the Brotherhood meeting on Monday
evening was "What Benefit is the
Pendleton Round-Up to Eastern, Ore
gon," and the two principal speakers,
introducing the subject were S. E.
Notson and A. M. Phelps. They were
followed in a general discussion. In
which the subject was attacked from
just about as many different angles.
The discussion was quite lively, and
engaged in by quite a large number,
President Waters going down the line
on each side of the long table and
calling on each one for his say.
While the introductory speeches
were along the line of commendation,
to a large degree, of the Round-Up
as a good advertising feature for
Eastern Oregon and particularly
for Pendleton, others seemed to be
of the opinion that the actual good
of the great show was counteracted
to a large degree by itj harmful in
fluence, especially on the youth of
the tributary sections of the round
up city. The first speaker to voice
an adverse thought was W. O. Liv
ingstone, who had never seen the
Round-Up, and was only speaking for
the "off" side more to bring out some
of the objectionable' features and to
get the "ball rolling." Many other
speakers joined in on this side of
the question, but there were plenty
to give the pageant a big boost, and
withal, the great thing brought out,
and the feature that is the big one
for both Pendleton and Eastern Ore
gon, is the Pendleton spirit some
thing that Heppner was urged to
emulate. There may be some things
objectionable to the Round-Up in the
minds of a great many people, and
it is doubtless true that everything
staged there at this time is not sanc
tioned by all the Pendleton people,
but you would never know it from
them, because it is something Pen
dleton wants, and Pendleton has it,
and all her people go In for it for all
they are worth, and it is a great suc
cess from almost any angle the
Round-Up may be viewed.
It is needless to remark that after
all was said that could be on both
sides of the subject, no definite ac
tion looking to putting the Round-Up
off the map, was taken, and the Pen
dleton folks will continue to pull off
their great annual pageant and more
and more people will be attracted
from a distance each year to see it,
and while seeing the big show, will
see plenty more of the natural at
tractions of Oregon, and out of this
will come a lot of good both to East
ern Oregon and the entire state.
During the progress of the lunch
eon the program, which consisted of
songs "by the congregation," pre
pared mainly by W. O. Livingstone
and C. C. Calkins, and led by the for
mer, with Prof. Mather presiding at
the piano, there was much good fel
lowship and a very enjoyable houa,
the program committee being coni
gratulated on this manner of fur
nishing some diversion while the
meal progressed. The luncheon was
tip top and the hotel management
was tendered a rising vote of thanks
for the fine manner in which the
Brotherhood was served In this re
gird. The Umatilla rapids project
will be settled at the December meet
ing. "It's a Hard Thing to Beat Old
Heppner."
Tune: "Tippcrary"
It's a hard thing to beat old Heppner,
It's a hard thing to do:
You'll go a long way to beat oli
Heppner,
It's a job you can't get through.
Then come, my fellow boosters.
Let ub make it ring out true:
You'll go a long, long way to beat
old Heppner,
We sure are for you.

plans for the future are not fully
settled, but they contemplate making
their home in California.

Primitive Life In The
Jungles of Borneo
Martin Johnson Finds Interesting
Native Weapons.
The poisoned dart has often ap
peared in stories but we doubt if
many Americans have actually seen
one. In making' his "Jungle Adven
tures," which comes to the Star thea
ter on Sunday, Martin Johnson actu
ally succeeded in picturing the dead
ly and murderous blow gun in action,
Martin Johnson cruised some five
hundred miles into the river interior
of British North Borneo in order to
make the thrilling motion picture
record of his "Jungle Adventures."
At the very head waters of the Kin
abatnngan, he discovered an aborig
inal tribe of cannibals, the Tengar
ras. These Malays still use the blow
gun, which, in their hands, is deadly
at twenty feet and often kills at a
much greater distance in the hands
of an expert.
The blow gun is six feet long and
has a bore as straight as a rifle. The
darts are carefully manufactured and
are dipped in poison from a plant or
reptile. These are then inserted into
the blow gun and hurled at the un
fortunate native or animal target
with all the lung power of the hunt
er. When not utilizing the blow gun
the hunter inserts a spear in the end
after the fashion of the Western sol
dier's bayonet.
The aborigines still obtain fire
fiom striking flint. They carry dried
tree fiber in hollow bamboo contain
ers, ready to use in making fire when
they wish. And these natives, who
had never seen a white man until
Martin Johnson appeared with his
motion picture camera, have civilized
vices, too. They make their "hooch"
from the liquid of the sago plant and
the result is as ctTcctivo as any home
brew ever concocted.

of the sing, and we are sure that Mrs.
Cochran was not in the least disap-
apointed in the way the affair turned
out.
The program consisted of aongs.
choruses and special numbers in

manner they would proceed in caring

Mrs. Cochran desires t express
her thanks to any and all persona
contributing to the success of the

her corps of helpers have been quite
busy in Heppner during the week,

the construction of woolen dresses
and the results show some great im

the basemtnt of the school house on
Friday, November 10. The Freshies
were busily engaged in playing lively
games when they were startled by
seeing many faces at the windows.
Their first tho't was for their pre
cious refreshments and they rushed
to save them from the onslaught of
the mob. They seemed unable to un
derstand that the rest of the high
school was honoring them with a
serenade in their drive about town
to advertise the game. When the
mob had gone and the hearts of the
poor little Freshies had stopped beat
ing quite so loudly from fright, they
were able to return to their games
with their accustomed test. Refresh
ments were served and the Freshmen
