GIVE CUSS PLAY
"And Home Came Ted"
Makes Hit With
Local Audience
COMEDY IS CLEVER
Well-Chosen Cast of Young Actors
Does Good Work; Special
Number Intervene Acts
The Junior-Senior plsy, "And Hom
Cams Ted," of Heppner high school
was presented before a parked houKu
at the Star theater Tuesday evening.
Opening with a humorous situation
the play was a continuous souice of
amusement throughout the entire
three acts, the exceptionally good
handling of their respective parts by
ths players detracting nut a bit from
the original conception.
Philip Mahoney as Skeet Kelly, the
hotel clerk, sent things off with a
burst of laughter with his diplomatic
handling of Ira Stone, the villain,
which part was taken very well by
Keith Logan. From thence forth
Skeet and Aunt Jubilee the colored
cook, Retha Owen, kept the audience
in a jolly frame of mind for the re
ception of the quite involved plot.
The plot hinged around the control
of a furniture company in the Cats
kill mountains, and all the scenes
were laid at the Rip Van Winkle Inn.
The elder Mr. Cilmore, former mana
ger of the company, had died, leav
ing the controling interest in the
company to his non Ted. The time of
the first act was set the day before
a stockholder's meeting to elect the
new manager. Ted, supposed to ar
rive on the evening train, must sign
the ledger, brought to the inn by
Jim Ryker, a lawyer, before he could
vote at the meeting. He failed to
arrive, causing Mollie Macklin, the
housekeeper and close friend of the
GUmore family, and Skeet, who had
designs toward her, a great deal of
mental discomfiture; as well as Miss
Loganberry, spinster and former tea
cher of Ted, who had awaited his re
turn seven years.
Ira Stone, the villain, who would
get control of the company if Ted
failed to show up arrived at the inn
with the opneing of the first act. He
had once been engaged to Mollie but
had thrown her over on finding that
he could not get control of the com
pany through her. Stopping at the
inn at the same time was Mr. Man,
the mystery, who had just finished
supervising the construction of a tun
nel through the mountain, and who
had saved the life of Skeet, who
was employed in the tunnel before
becoming clerk at the inn. Mr. Man
fell in love with Diana Garwood, the
heiress, who had also fallen in love
with him from Skeet's story of his
bravery. He was also immediately
recognized by Ryker as an old school
friend. Because of his resemblance
to Ted, Skeet and Mollie contrived
to have him sign the ledger and vote
at the meeting.
Things did not run according to
schedule, however, iy with the ar
rival of another Ted and his bride,
who were laid up at the Inn because
of trouble with their automobile, and
also the widow of Ryker from Hono
lulu, from whom he wished to hide,
the scheme was upset. Kyker din
appeared by jumping through the
window, making it (teem imposnible
to get the ledger signed, the incog
nito Ted was put in bad with Diana,
and all seemed to go wrong.
Ryker returned, however, diguUed
as a hayseed, which furnished con
siderable amusement, and on reveal
ing his identity at the end cleared
up the muddle. Mr. Man was the
real Ted, who had taken charge of
the tunnel to be close to the factory,
and the other Ted, who had not been
given a chance to explain, had no
connection with the affair at all. Ted
had signed the ledger while in the
room with Ryker the night before
and could vote at the meeting thus
assuring his becoming manager, and
regained his standing with Diana. The
play ended with a love scene between
Molllie and Skeet.
Carl Canon, as Mr. Man, did the
part with a finish exceptionally cred
itable for an amateur, Elaine Sigs
bee did the part of Diana Garwood
very welt indeed, and Reliance Moore
was hard to improve upon as a spin
ster nearing forty, in desperate
straits regarding matrimony, Mollie
Macklin was a charming part taken
by Florence Cnsnn. Ted, the groom

Mr. Gates Figures
On Cheaper Juice
While fn this city the first of the
week looking after hi IntereHts in
the Heppner Light and Water com
pany, II. V, Gates, president, gave
forth the announcement that he was
at the present time negotiating with
the Pacific Light and Power company
who are making extensive editions to
their power plants in this part of the
state, to furnish the Heppner com
pany with juice. Mi, Gates states
that the line would come in to lone,
and from there Lexington and Hepp
ner would be supplied, and if he can
get his plans over with the big com
pany it will mean a very material
reduction in rates for this section,
for all of which a long suffering pub
lic will be very grateful, indeed.
Failing in this proposal, Mr. Gates
further states that it will be neces
sary for him to remove his power
plant to the mountains, as heretofore
figured on, where fuel and power will
be cheaper, and in this event, we
shall be benefitted by a reduction
of rates.
The franchise of the Heppner
Light and Water company with the
city of Heppner is expiring, and Mr.
Gates was before the city council
on Monday evening with his propos
als for a removal of the contract
with the city.

Immortal
PNDER the light of a great
'wJel new th, America was born.
. .(iSWy It was a thought in eovern-
0 - j-,
ment so new and overwhelm
ing that it thrilled men's
souls. For it they would
face any fate.
It was the idea that all men are born free
and equal. The most receptive brains of
that time crouched it in a wonderful phras
ing of our Declaration of Independence.
In that setting, we have cherished it to the
present day and will cherish it for all time
to come. It has been the big theme about
which have clustered big deeds and big sen
timents for a century or more.
Both for America and for the world, let
us keep firm the high resolve and meet the
enemy of Our Flag, whether that enemy be
here or overseas. Only by so doing can we
hope to honor our soldiers and sailors for
their high, unselfish and heroic services,
only by so doing can we prevent those who
made the supreme sacrifice of offering their
lives on the altar of Liberty from having
died in vain.

New County Agent
Arrives from Wyoming
The new county agent for Morrow
county, Roger W. Morse, arrived Sat
urday from Wyoming, where for sev
eral years he has been one of the
most successful of the state's ex
tension workers. While there he or

in agricultural affairs outside the
border of his county.
Mr. Morse is a graduate of Wash

the htreads of extension work where
they were dropped by the retirement
of Mr. Calkins, states F. L. Ballard,

will be followed, according to the
college extension service. Whenever
new plans are to be developed ar

been in connection with improved
wheat varieties, summer fallow prac
tices and the introduction of copper
carbonate for the treatment of smut.
