' Subscription $2.00 Per Year LEXIH BEATS fflBH 10 0 With Hardest Game Won, Wheat City Team Are Champions. LEX TAKES BREAKS Many Fumble and Bad Kick by Lo cal! Give Opponenta Adrantagei Storm Come Early la Game By outclassing and outplaying Heppner on their home field Saturday afternoon, Lexington atands without a rival aa high achool champion of Morrow, Gilliam and Sherman coun ties. Heppner, who wai admitted to be the strongest contender for the honors, was unable to score against the Wheat City team Saturday. The final score was 14-0. Added to their better playing Lex ington took the breaks of the game from the start, and with a safe lead the outcome was but a matter of how much Heppner could keep them from scoring and not how much Heppner could score. Practically the entire game was played in Heppner terri tory, and only twice did Heppner get within scoring distance of the Lex ington goal. The first time after pro greasing the ball to Lexington's 10 yard line, Heppner lost the ball on downs, and the second time she lost the ball on the failure of an attempt ed drop-kick from the 83 yard line. Lexington kicked off to Heppner at the beginning of the play, Aiken for Heppner, fumbling the ball and re covering, giving Heppner first down on her own 26 yard line. After three attempts to make yardage, she was forced to kick, Aiken punting the ball out of bounds on the 38-yard line. From here Lexington started a terri fic offensive which took the Heppner boys off their feet White, Wright and McMillan, Lexington backs, smashed through Heppner's line for large gains, one after another, making first down in the first three plays. Then it looked for a minute like Heppner was going to stem their progress. McMillan was held for a 1-yard gain, and Wright was penalized 16 yards for hurdling, making 18 yards to go in two downs. The next play Lex ington was set back 8 yards more, but with only one down to make the 18 yards required to keep possession of the ball a completed forward pass netted them 20 yards and a touch down. Lexington converted goal kick, making score 7-0. Heppner advanced Lexington's sec ond kickoff to her own 86-yard line, and after two attempts to make yardage a fumble gave Lexington pos session of the ball. Here again Lex ington started a mighty offensive which carried the ball to Heppner's 6-yard line In three first downs. The quarter ended as three attempts failed to put the ball across. The one remaining play for Lexington to keep possession of the ball and the first play of the second quarter, was all that was necessary for them to put It over, however, and after kicking the ball fairly between the goal posts, the score stood, Lexing to 14, Heppner 0. This ended the scoring for the game. The remainder of the second quarter waa nip and tuck, though Heppner made three first downs to none for Lexington, and the half ended with Heppner in possessoin of the ball in the center of the field. The one big thrill for the Heppner fans came in the second half, after Heppner had stopped a threatening Lexington march from the 88-yard line on the 6-yard line, when Con Adklns made a get-away for a 40 yard run. Adkina had a clear field ahead of him but because of an In lured foot was unable to keep ahead of the Lexington tacklers. Heppner was then held for three downs and Lexington Intercepted a pass, taking the ball on Heppner's 86-yard line. Lexington was then held for three downs when Heppner was penalised for off-side which gave their oppon ents first down again. On the sec ond attempt to break through the Heppner line Lexington was penal lied 16 yards for holding and was forced to kick. Heppner blocked the kick and recovered the ball on the 28-yard line. Her again the stands were brought to their feet, when June Devlne, Lex ington end, intercepted a pass on his own goal line and ran the full length of the field, apparently making touchdown. The umpire's whistle had previously blown for an off-side play, however, and the ball was re turned to Heppner's possession where the play had started, on Lexington's SO-yard line. After making first down once, Heppner was held for three downs and in an attempt to score, drop kick was tried. The kick went wilil and Lexington took possession of the ball on her own 20-yard line. In the remaining few minutes of play it was again nip and tuck and the game ended with Lexington In pos- session of the ball In middle neid, Lexington's heavy and hard-hitting line was responsible for their vlc tory, is the general opinion. They out-weighed the Heppner line aov eral pounds to the man, and crushed them under their powerful onslaught This nut the Heppner backfleld to a great disadvantage and apparently caused them to lose tneir grip thomselvcs. On three attempted nunts. any one of which would have put the ball out of danger, Heppner kicked out of bounds with only a few yards gain. It la conceded that with the breaks of the game being equal Lexington would not have won by more tnan one score, ana prooa bly the game would have been score less. Ted Johnson of Portland, was rcf eree: Ed Chldsey, Heppner, umpire and Howard Lane, Lexington, head linesman. Good rains this week have followed the warming up of the weather here abouts and grass and grain is grow ing fine. EDUCATION WEEK TO BEGIN SUNDAY Program Prepared by American Legion, N. E. A. and U.

Waters, states that Mr. Waters is now located in business at Long Beach, Calif., having leased an interest in a garage. Joe is beginning to think Southern California is a pretty good place after all, but it is hard to get used to the proposition of paying such exhorbitant house rents any where from 3125 to $175 per month for a moderately sized house. On the other hand, living expenses are very reasonable. Electricity and gas take the place of wood and coal, and this helps to cut the expenses, while groceries and provisions are cheap, and gasoline is from 10c to 15c per gallon, according to quality, thus making motoring more reasonable than it ia in Oregon. At a meeting of Maple Circle, Neighbora of Woodcraft on Monday evening, a reception was tendered Mrs. Raymond rerguson, a recent bride, and Miss Bernice Cool, a bride-to-be, and these young women were each presented with several pieces of cut glass. The presentation was followed by refreshments and the an nouncement that Miss Cool is soon to become the bride of Mr. Harvey Bauman of Lexington, the wedding to take place the last of this month. John T. Kirk, who has charge of the Bob Dexter place up Willow creek, was down town on Tuesday, leaving a jug of fine apple cider, just from the press, with the editor of the G.-T. John states that he is pre paring to aeed the lower part of his place to alfalfa, the upper past being well cultivated and sown to grain. This is one of the best rsnches on the creek and John T. will make a good showing there. Hiram Tash of Walla Walla arrived in Heppner on Tuesday and is spend ing a few days here, the guest of his son, Fred Tash. He reports that crops of all kinds have been very abundant in the Walla Walla country this being especially true of. the fruit crops. The market conditions nave been poor, however, and it is the opinion of Mr. Tash that many of the producers are pocketing heavy losses. ' Arthur Erwin, one of the success ful farmers residing in the lone sec tion, was a visitor in Heppner Tues day. Mr. Erwin farms 1600 acrei and has his fall seeding all done in fact had finished up about three weeks ago, and the grain is coming along fine. This office acknowledges a pleasant call from him.

Morrow County Exhibits Were Not Put On Display Reports from the recent land pro ducts show in Portland made but one award to Morrow eounty wheatgrow era, and this went to Tom Boylen, Jr., of Butter creek, who received 10th on Turkey Red in the division of hard winter wheats. Out of a field of 150 entries in this class, Mr. Boylen did well, but the disappoint ing feature of the whole grain exhibit was the fact that but little of the grain sent to the exposition from this county was on display. County Agent Morse, who attended the show, was much disappointed to find that but very few samples had even been tagged and placed in the competition. The entries had been made on the books and a number given the exhibits there and this was all; they were lost in the shuffle and were not on display at all, hence could not be judged. Mr. Morse is very sure that had the grain exhibits been placed in the classes where they should have gone, Morrow county would have carried off much prize money. On the other hand it was also learned that several fine samples of grain that had been left with the warehouses to be forwarded to Port land were neglected and not prepared according to instructions and never shipped. The samples sent in, how ever, were prepared and shipped ac cording to the instructions sent out from headquarters and reached the entry books as stated here. Just where the fault lies, Mr. Morse will not attempt to say, but there is some excuse in the fact that the land pro ducts show took over the Northwest Grain show from Pendleton at a late date and they were not fully organ ized to handle so big a proposition as it proved to be. This will not happen another year, Mr. Morse was assured. CHl'Rt H OF CHRIST. November 18, 1925. Taking the line of leaBt resistance makos crooked streams and crooked people.

Henry Schwari WOOL GROWERS FIGHT INCREASE Proposed Raise of Fees For For est Grazing Lands Meets With Disfavor. (Pendleton East Oregonlan) That sheep men of Oregon will op pose the proposed increase of fees on the national forests for grazing is foreshadowed in a letter that has been sent out by F. W. Falconer, president of the Oregon Woo! Grow ers' association, to members of the as soeiation in which he asks for the opinion of the individual growers. It is probable that the question of the wood growers stand on this question will be decided through the associa tion, though the forest officials hare suggested that the problem be taken up with various small groups. The letter in full is as follows: "Perhaps you are aware that con ferences have already been held in Idaho and Utah by representatives of the forest service and representatives of the livestock interests; that these meetings have been held for the purpose of considering the proposed . grazing fees for use of the national j forests of the United States; and that I it has been intimated that these fees I will be increased from 200 to 300 per cent, beginning with 1925. At the meetings at Salt Lake City ! and at Pocatello, Idaho, the stock men went on record as emphatical ly opposed to the raising of the graz ing fees and any change in the pres ent manner of handling the grazing areas in the national forests. E. N. Kavanagh. district forester, of Portland, Oregon, who is in charge of grazing, wrote us that the forest department would like to take this matter up with the various small livestock organizations in Oregon and Washington. It is the opinion, how ever, of the major portion of the ex ecutive committee of the Oregon Wool Growers association that it would be to the best interests of the sheepmen of Oregon to hold a con ference with the forest service under the auspices of the Oregon Wool Growers' association. "It is unnecessary to tell you that the raising of the grazing fees in the national forest would do untold dam age to the livestock industry of the Pacific northwest, and that a raise of 200 to 300 per cent, as has been pro posed would actually be a prohibitive price to the users of these grazing areas. It is imperative that we put up a united fight against this pro posal and that we go about it intel ligently after giving the proposition due thought. If we do not assume a united stand against this measure our industry will be in danger of annihil ation. When to Send the Children to School (Oregon State Board of Health.) Man has too lone considered him self a special creation, not a part of nature, but in some way different from, superior to all other life. Man is just as much a part of nature as a horse or an elephant, and is equal ly subject to nature s laws. The stock grower has long learned the lesson that it is bad business to mix the healthy animals with the ones that are diseased. In spite of this well known fact many of our schools are still the incubators of disease. This is due to the fact that some parents insist on sending sick chil dren to school and the teacher does not recognize the serious consequen ces of allowing an unwell child to at tend. When in doubt do not send the child to school. All questionable cases should be referred to the health officer. The best investment a coun ty can make is a full time health unit which will insure the proper in vestigation of all suspicious cases. Parents and teachers can do much to lessen infection if they will ob- serve and follow a few simple rules, j A child should not be sent to school., ur stiuuia oe exciuaea irom scnooi: Who has an acute cold. Who has a fever. Who is broken out with a rash. Who has a sputum raising cough. Who has swelling of the neck or face. Who cannot eat on account of ill ness. Who is nauseated, dizzy, or faint Who has red or weeping eyes. Who lives in a home that is quar antined. A wise parent will make certain that a child that has recently had an acute attack of contagious disease will not return to school until such contagion has fully cleared. To send a child to school when not fully re covered, not only may be an addi tional risk to the child, but is a great wrong to other children, who may be infected and seriously injured by con tact with such a case. Let parents and teachers cooperate in making our schools not only in stitutions of learning, but ditTusers of health instead of spreaders of dis ease. THE WILLING WORKERS MEET.
