BROKEN BAT FATAL
M on U true and Soivester Star for Gil
liam County Tram; Game
Scoreless to Seventh
A broken bat may have been the
cause of Heppner's defeat at the
hands of Arlington on Gentry field
Sunday. It was a no-score game up
to the seventh inning when Arling
ton run in 4 counters. It looked then
like a shut out for Ileppner till the
last of the ninth, when the locals
started a batting rally which resulted
In two tallies before the broken bat
incident brought the game to an end.
"Speck" Aiken started the rally
with a safe bingle for two bags, and
crossed home plate on a pretty drive
by "Chappy" King, the next man up.
King made third in the melee that
followed, and a hit by Van Marter
brought him home. Anderson waa un
able to locate the ball, making two
down. Ward picked a nice single that
landed Van Marter on htird and Paul
Aiken came to bat. Paul had his bat
ting eye with him and hit the pill a
lick that should have sent It out of
the lot, but Fate decreed against the
locals when his bat broke, making a
nice little pop fly to right field.
What might have happened with
Van on his way home from third and
Ward on second if the bat hadn't giv
en way, la left for Heppner fani to
surmise. As It was Arlington went
home with the bacon to the tune of
4-2.
The pitching of "Toots" Montague
was an outstanding feature of the
game. He had a no-hit record to his
credit till the last of the ninth, and
it is little wonder that he weakened
when once he was found. B rough ton,
Heppner's lanky twirler, had an off
day, as he was unable to put the dope
on the ball that has characterized
his pitching in previous games. The
receiving work of King did much to
ward holding the local team together.
"Buster" Soivester, short-stop for
the victors, was a thorn In Hepp
ner's side, as they were unable to find
a safe place for the ball any place
in his part of the daimond. He field
ed several balls that were probably
good for hits in most any league.
Con ley, his running mate on sec
ond, likewise played a pretty field
ing game.
The locals consider it no disgrace
to be downed by the brand of ball
dinplayd by Arlington Sunday, and
are only awaiting their chance to re
deem themselves.

Home Institution Is
Making Fine Ice Cream
As a usual thing we all think that
what is produced away from home is
superior in quality to that of the
same article produced by the local
factory. During the past several sea
sons, the Morrow County Creamery
has been manufacturing ice cream,
and each seaRon Manager Cox has im
proved the quality and increased the
quantity of his product until now he
is taxing the capacity of his plant to
meet demands.
The best thing about it is the ice
cream now being put out by the
creamery company is not excelled by
any product on the Heppner market,
and Mr. Cox Is to be congratulated
for the excellence of the article he is
manufacturing, and is deserving of
the fine trade he enjoys.

Lexington High School
Graduates Appreciative
We, the Senior class of Lexington
high school, deem this, our gradua
tion, an opportune time and an appro
priate occasion to extend to the peo
ple of Lexington and vicinity our ap
preciation of their encouragement
and asssitance given to help us in
securing this, the initial step of our
education.
Vour assistance has been rendered
in various ways; first, by giving us
the proper kind of encouragement,
you have enabled ua to achieve suc
cess in our work, and to cope suc
cessfully with other schools In ath
letics. Secondly, by your encourage
ment you have inspired us to greater
efforts along various lines of endeav
or. This encouragement has been of
a dual nature: that given consciously,
such as verbal and financial encour
agement, and that given unconscious
ly by the good examples found in
your daily living.
We feel that we are in great mea
sure indebted to you, our freinds, for
this assistance. So we will endeavor
to lead worthwhile and purposeful
lives that your interest in us will
not have been for naught.

GRADUATES NINE
Commencement Exercises
Held at School Auditor
ium Last Night
The commencement exercises of the
Lexington high school were held in
the high school auditorium on Wed
nesday evening at which time a class
of nine fine young people received
their diplomas and are now ready to
pass on to the higher educational
institutions.
Those graduated were Kathlyn Slo
cum, Blanche Shinn, Dallas Ward,
Beuiah Tucker, Ruth Stephens, Lew
is Allyn, Maxine Gentry, Wilma
Leach and George Tucker.
The address to the class was deliv
ered by Prof. Frederick Berchtold of
O. A. C. who took for his subject
"Value of an Ideal," and impressed
upon the graduates the importance
of choosing an ideal, or a standard
to look up to in whatever line of
endeavor they might choose; also im

proceed with their education just now
begun and enter some good college
that they might be better fitted for
life's battles. The address of Prof.

County Court Secures
Right of Way for Grade
A very satisfactory settlement of
all claims for right of way for the
grade leading up Heppner hill on the
new survey was made this week be
tween the county court and W. P.
Dutton and J. H. Gemmell, through
whose ranches the most of the road
runs. The problem of getting out to
Hepppner flat on a grade coming
within the requirements of the state
highway department, has been one
that has agitated the court for some
months, and pending its Bettieirent,
the work of building the new road
has been held up. Having found the
right grade, it was necessary to make
settlement with the parties interest
ed, and now that this has been ac
complished, it will not be long be
fore work is started with the road
machinery and the new road laid out.
The court expresses great satisfac
tion over the outcome and feel that
nothing now stands in the way of
getting the macadam finished to the
top of the hill.

The activities of commencement
week at Heppner Hi begin May 18
with the Junior-Senior banquet at
the Hotel Heppner. On Tuesday,
May 22, the Junior-Senior play will
be presented. Examinations will be
held on the 22nd and 23rd and on the
24th the Btudent body picnic will
be a big feature. The baccalaureate
sermon will be Sunday, May 20, t

Doherty, Nellie Flynn, Rose Hirl,
Evelyn Humphreys, Elizabeth Huston,
Ray McDuffee, Philip Mahoney, Thel

This class has always been a live,
peppy bunch and the high school re

The junior class pins have arrived
and are now proudly displayed by the
class of 24. They consist of an "H"
of white gold on a background of
gold with "H. S." and the year in the
corners. The guard is a plain 24
of yellow gold.
Don't forget the play "And Home
Came Ted" to be given by the juniors
and seniors on Tuesday, May 22, at
the Star theater. This play is the
funniest comedy ever written, a reg
ular side-splitter. Aunt Jubilee, the
cook, and Mi& Loganberry, the spin
ster, are real "characters" who will
make you laugh and then laugh some
more.
Last Friday the juniors kept the
old custom of Junior Flunk day in
a very fitting manner. They left at
six o'clock in the morning for Her
ren's mill where they spent the day.
Nobody took the eats, so all went
well. In the evening a mammoth
bonfire was built and around it the
class had the pleasure of listening
to the many beautiful songs sung
by Mr. McCoy. What if all the jun
iors were stiff and tired next day! It
was worth it!
Did you ever see a sweet widow
who would set in the moonlight for
hours with any man she could pick
up and sing Aloha Oe to him to the
accompaniment of a ukelele? Miss
Henrietta Darby in "And Home Came
Ted" will fill every requirement in
this direction and in addition can tell
of the "moon-kissed beach at Wa-
kiki."
At the last student body meeting
t was decided to award small gold
H pins to all those who took part
n Heppner Hi's debating this year.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE
Whereas it has pleased God in his
wisdom to call fren his eetrthty labor
our brother Robert Emmett Jones,
and
Whereas Brother Jones has for a
number of years been a faithful and
valued member of Dorian Temple No.
16 of Heppner, and it is fitting and
right that we as Pythian Sisters make
proper and merital acknowledgement
and record of the high esteem and
fraternal love in which we hold him,
Resolved that while we humbly
bow to the Supreme Ruler we are
filled with sorrow at the passing of
of our brother. To the children and
relatives of our brother we extend
our deepest sympathy in their hour
of sorrow.
Let a copy of this resolution be
transmitted to the family of the de
ceased, a copy entered upon the min
utes of the Temple and a copy be giv
en the press for publication.

Baccalaureate, Class Play, Class Pic
nic and Commencement Round
Out Four Years of Toil
Closing events of Heppner high
school for the year begins with the
Junior-Senior banquet at Hotel Hepp
ner tomorrow evening. Baccalaur
eate sermon will be at the Christian
church Sunday evening, delivered by
Rev. W. O. Livingstone, and the fol
lowing week will be filled with ex
aminations, class play, class picnic
and commencement.
The class of sixteen to be grad
uated from the high school Friday
evening has a busy time ahead of
them for a full week, when comes a
short relapse to regain energy with
which to attack further problems in
the making of a career. When they
gather round the festive board with
the Juniors tomorrow evening they
will forget all strife and dissention
between the two classes for three
years and bequeath to their succes
sors all the rights of Seniorship for
the coming year.
Then donning their best demeanor
and handsomest togs they will file
down the Christian church aisle Sun
day evening and take their places in
the front pews before Rev. W. O.
Livingstone to receive God's benedic
tion for having progressed thus far
in the struggle for supremacy with
a prayer to help them to attain much
higher stations. But, even at grad
uation time, all is not glory, for on
Tuesday and Wednesday this same
sixteen must knit their brows and ir
ritate the gray matter over final ex
aminations. For a moment's diver
sion, however, they will put on their
stage faces and amuse the public for
a couple of hours Tuesday evening
with the class play.
"And Home Came Ted" is the ve
hicle with which the class is to make
itself famous in high school theatri
cals at the Star theater Tuesday
night. The play is a comedy of mys
tery in three acts, and promises to
be a rare treat for those who may
see fit to desert family firesides for
the show house when it is presented.
After the play and another day of
exams have been safely passed the
class will resort to a day of recrea
tion Thursday, when the class picnic
will be held, to recuperate to the
fullest possible extent for the big
gest ordeal of all the graduating
exercises on Friday evening.
At the graduating ceremonies in
the high school auditorium the pub
lic will be accorded a musical treat,
as Mrs. Bernice Dafoe Hopper, di
rector, has prepared several beauti
ful selections. It is not certain who
will give the commencement address,
as Sam Dolan of O. A. C. who was to
speak has notified Professor Hedrick
that he cannot be here. Those who
will receive diplomas are:
Willetta Elizabeth Barratt, Velma
May Case, Florence Aids Cason, Opal
Lena Craddick, Christina Doherty,
Nellie Taylor Flynn, Rose Anna Hirl,
Evelyn Elizabeth Humphreys, Eliza
beth Leon a Huston, Ray W. McDuffee,
