A.C Three students, Joy Russell, soph omore in vocational education, Elmer Konenkilde, sophomore in agriculture, and Ray McDuffee, freshman in voca tional education, instead of bringing their pocket books up to their ex penses, are living "down" to their pocketbooks. They are bachelors and, taking their word for it, they arc good ones. "We didn't know much about cook ing when we started," said McDuf fee, "but 'Kosie' and I took food se lection and preparation for men, and now we sling some wicked pies and cakes. 'Roste' had bum luck with his last cake, but it was a technical er ror. He read the recipe wrong and only used one-third enough flour. I made a mistake and used salt instead of sugar in pie filler. But those are minor details. "We understtand quite a bit about vitamines and calorics, but we favor the calories quite a bit. We always make sure we have lots of them,' pointing to his increased waistline. These young men take turns cook ing breakfast and combine forces on the other meals. This is their third term as bachelors and they recom mend it strongly as a way to "get by." And the big thing rather the little thing is the cost. The total expense account for one month, when split three ways, is from $17 to $W. Lunches served at Heppner Rake Announcement To the Voters of Morrow County, Oregon: The time has expired for the announce ment of candidates for county offices and no one has announced for the office of County School Superintendent. I am a duly registered member of the Re publican party; I have all the requirements prescribed by law for the office of County School Superintendent; I have taught in Morrow County for four years, three years at Lexington and one year as principal of the Hardman school. I am married and have a family of two boys, and my husband is teaching with me. If the voters of Morrow County will write in my name on the Primary Ballot as Can didate for County School Superintendent and I am nominated I will accept the nom intion and if elected, I will qualify and give my best efforts during my term of office to the schools of Morrow County. HELEN M. WALKER. Dated this 30th day of April, 15)21. For County Superintendent of Schools X Helen (Paid Advertisement) Recollections of a day far remote when dinosaurs and mammoths roamed the land and huge but like pterodactyls fluttered on leath ery wing o'erhead, were brought to mind this week by the uncovering of a large piece of bone by the road crew up Cason canyon. The portion of animal frame found, by itself, is too large to be associated with any modern rover of field, prairie, forest or Jungle, and from the amount shown to have been broken off, in its entity it must have been a whopper. Thus, with no other explanation of its origin at hand, we are forced to hearken back to the compara tively early date in the history of Mother Earth's inhabitants, when, archaeologists tell us, animals many times as large as those of the present day held sway. Not being fully versed in the science, and being unable to tell from its shape or structure just which of the ancient animal giants this piece is a chip of, we will not venture an assertion as to whether it was a mammoth or not, but we will acclaim that it was no ordinary horse or cow. George Moore, foreman of the road gang, brought the relic to town yesterday and it is now in the window of Humphreys Drug store for public inspection. Other small er pieces were uncovered lirst which were given slight attention, but when this chunk, measuring about 18 inches in length by 6 or 8 in breadth, was brought to light, the crew were sure they had dug up the grave of some animal of much larger proportions than any with which they were acquainted. Mrs. Conser Buried Here Wednesday The funeral of Mrs. Lillian ConBer was held at Masonic hall in this city at 2:00 p. m. Wednesday, Rev. W. O. Livingstone delivering a short address preceding the beautiful burial ceremony of the Eastern Star chapter. A quartette consisting of Mrs. C. Dar bee, Mrs. E. R. Huston, M. D. Clark and Vawter Crawford, sang favorite hymns of the deceased. There was a piofusion of beautiful flowers banked ar-ouf the casket, the offerings from many loving friends of the departed in Portland and Heppner. The con cluding services at the grave were in charge of Mr. Livingstone and the body whs tenderly laid to rent beside the grave of her husband, who pre ceded her years ago, Mrs. Conner died at the tSt. Vin cent's hospital in Tort land on Sat urday, May 'A, after an illness of sev eral months and during which she wa? caused intense suffering. Since the death of her husband. George Conser, which occurred in this city sixteen years ago, Mrs. Conser had made her home in Portland, but she was raised in this county and, spent the greater portion of her life here. She is survived by her father, C. A. Rhea, of Stanfield, and the following brothers and sister: Mrs. Wilson E. Brock of Pendleton, Mrs. Josephine Jones of Heppner. Waldron Rhea of Redmond, Curtis Rhea of Echo and Carl Rhea of Portland. SMOKER AT LEXINGTON. The boys of the Lexington high school have staged a smokeless smok er at the gym in that city for Satur day night, May 10th. This event promises to be one of the very best yet given and there will be a number of very hotly contested bouts staged events that will be record breakers, and the proceeds of the smoker all go into the gym building fund. Prices of admission are grade pupils 2"c, high school pupils 60c, others 75c. Johnnie McEntire of Skinner creek is confined to the hospital in this city, having suffered a liht stroke of paralysis a few dnys ago.

' 'fi Faults of County Unit Cited by Mr. Cherrick Rock Creek, Ore., May 6, 1924. Dear Editor: To my mind one of the most vicious educational laws put over In the name of progress is the County Unit system, because: It takes away from the common peop'e their direct control of educa tional affairs. It places the schools in the hands of a Bmall clique of five men making it easier for the educational machine and would-be higher-ups in education to thorough ly dominate the schools of the county or state Simply because five men are easier to control than are a hundred boards. Where are you to get five compe tent men, who have the time and will devote it fairly and impartially to the entire county, without pay? With our local boards that is possible, as each community or local school dis trict has its local pride; and usually finds men who are glad to work for their home school. With a board of five, we likely have about five favor ite schools getting more than their share and the smaller boards getting left. In this county we have a sam ple of a small board as the county commissioners are putting the entire county in one road district so that they can divert (legally) practically all money on one short stretch of 16 miles of road. The voters are practically powerless to prevent such action. The power of the five is too great. Read the law. Practically no limita tions to their power. True" they have to have their budget approved, but that is an easy proposition, if they are good enough politicians to get the job. No limitations on the sal aries they may pay their superintend ent, or other employees or the num ber they may employ. Your local committee isn t even an attractive ornament to have around. They have no POWER. They may prevent the hiring of a certain teach er, if they unanimously vote against her and state reason 30 days prior to opening of school. Hut if your board of five wishes to punish a district, all they have to do is to not appoint a teacher until 29 days before school opens. Under present conditions, with Klansmen, Minutemen, and what-nots, if a board have a majority of either, the other side will receive. likely, continual punishment. Or if the board happen to be red headed, they will employ all red headed teachers or something equally as foolish. I have taken the matter up with authorities in New York state. The tate commission appointed to inves tigate it, have reported against the Unit plan. They have tried it. The farmers and small town folks do not like it. Must Oregon go through with the same experience, or can't we learn from others? I visited Klamath county Inst sum mer. Most of my interviews indicated thnt it has led to a grand scrap and 1 bitter feelings. And worse than that, hey have neglected the smaller schools and played favorites. In Crook county where it was first voted in, the county superintendent got busy nt once and pninted alt schools alike, oiled floors, etc., whether they needed it or not. Then being a good advertiser he.rushcd into print to tell what he hnd done. Probably some needed paint and possibly they will bring up the standard of some schools, hut they will do greater In jury to the majority by destroying all local pride and interest in their schools. Let's go slow and wait a few years until the counties already with the system have tried it out thoroughly. Remember there is no law provided whereby wo may EVER change back if we do not like it.

I GIVE to LOCAL ENS ITEMS C. L. Keithly, of the real estate firm of Wells and Keithly of Pendle ton, spent a day or two in this county on business this week. Mr. Keithly was pretty much over the wheat belt of the south part of the county, and states that while rain is needed, the grain is not suffering, has good color and is developing well. He reports that much damage has been done to crops in portions of Umatilla county owing to lack of rain, and doubts if a rain coming now will be of much help to the farmers on the lighter lands, A hearing involving a quarter sec tion of land claimed by Neal Doherty of Juniper canyon, was had before Clerk Anderson at the court house on Wednesday. A, M. Edwards had filed a contest against the claim and he was represented by Judge H, P. Perkins of Spokane. Calvin L. Sweek appeared as attorney for Mr. Doherty. A number of witnesses were heard and considerable testimony tran scribed to be presented to the land office authorities who will pass upon the case in due course of time. N. A. Leach, vice president of Kerr, Gifford & Co., of Portland, accom panied by Mrs. Leach and other mem bers of the family, drove up from Portland Friday last for a visit with re'ativea at Lexington. He was in Heppner for a short time on Satur day. Mr. Leach, who was formerly in business at Lexington, has been with the Kerr-Cifford company for many years, starting as a wheat buy er for them in this county and work ing up until he now is a leading mem ber of the firm. Howard Anderson of Eight Mile was doing business in this city on Tuesday. Mr. Anderson, one of the directors of the Oregon Grain Grow ers association, returned from a meeting of the association in Port land on Saturday. He is not dis couraged over the crop outlook in his section, but will welcome rain any time, as it can do no harm. Warmer weather than has prevailed for the past three weeks would be welcome also, according to Mr. An derson. Arch Barnard was in town this forenoon closing up a deal with Louie Frederickson of Lexington garage to take over a three-year lease on the filling station of Mr. Barnard in that city. The deal is expected to bV clos ed on Monday next when Mr. Fred erickson will take charge of the sta tion. Mr. and Mrs. Barnard con template going to southern Oregon where it is hoped that the change will prove beneficial to the health of Mrs. Barnard. Mr. and Mrs. Jake Young arrived on Wednesday from Aloah, Oregon, and today went on out to the Eight Mile farm of Mr. Young where they will make their home. They shipped their household goods, cow and chickens from the Valley and Mr. Young ex pects to become a full-fledged farmer of this county again, a Eanie that he followed here for nigh on forty years. but from which he retired several years ago. Charley Cox, Earl and Len Gilliam and Ed Bennett, all disciples of Iaaak Walton, made a hurry up trip to East lnke over in the Bend coun try the past week. They left Hepp ner on Friday, got their limit of line eastern brook trout on Saturday and returned home on Sunday. They found the fishing in East lake very fine and are anxious to make another trip over that way before the season closes. Leonard Barr has been confined nt home during the most of this week, suffering from an attack of the gen ernl indisposition that has struck so many of the people of the com munity the past two or three weeks. Serious colds, flu, measles and other minor complaints have affected a large per cent of the children and grown ups. Dr. McMurdo reports that Mrs. Guy Beyer, who has been quite ill at her homo in this city, is now well on the road to recovery.

Falconer, pres ident of the Oregon Wool Growers association, writing from the infected area in California, where he is with the Oregon commission investigating the foot and mouth disease, sends a word of warning to employers of labor on sheep and cattle ranches, also general farm labor, on account of the grave danger of importing the germs of the disease from the per pons or garments of said laborers. Investigations so far made by Mr. Falconer have convinced him that the most danger to Oregon livestock comes from employing herders, shearers and laborers from Calif ornia, who do not furnish health cer tificates, and complete evidence that they have come from a region not j n f pjtf jfc and that they and their gar ments have been thoroughly cleans ed of all danger from the germs. Travellers who come by automo bile from California report having been disinfected as many as twenty times enroute, but passengers on trains reach Oregon without being disinfected as many times as this. The embargo signed by Governor Pierce, on April 15, 1924, provides as follows in reference to farm la borers, and farm and ranch help in general coming from the State of Cal ifornia into the State of Oregon: "All sheep shearers, farm labor ers, dairy laborers, farm and ranch and stock-yard help in general corn in; from the State of California into the State of Oregon, unless able to furnish affidavit evidence that they have not been in any district infected with foot and mouth disease, shatt be required to either discard, wash in boiling water, or subject all of their clothing to a four (4) parts of 40 per cent formalin solution bath (U. S. P.) to each one hundred (100) parts of water and their shoes and shearing equipment to official disin fection. Certificates of disinfection shall be required of all farm laborers coming from California." Hardman High School To Present Clever Play "A Prairie Rose," a comedy-drama of the Kansas prairies in four acts, will be presented by the Union High School of Hardman, Saturday, May 17. Rose Wilder, a prairie girl about seventeen years of age, has attracted the attention of three young men who are on a hunting trip. Two of these men fall in love with Rose, one of them, a young physician, and the other an English dude whose at- j tempts at love making supply their I full Bhare of the comedy. The situ- ation arouses the jealous suspicions j of Bill Briggs, cowboy, who has been I in love with Rose all his life. j The comedy is carried on by Silas and his wfe, 'Lizzy Jane, and by Mose : the spoiled negro. 1 The cast: Silas Wilder Mr. Walker Vr.

To the Taxpayers and Residents of Morrow County: Next week, May 16, you will be vot ing. The County Unit Plan of Ad ministration and Taxation will be one of the measures which will need your careful consideration, and since I promised to write an article upon this . subject I am submitting this for your perusal. Much has been written and said against the measure, and since there are always two sides to every ques tion I wish to express my reasons for favoring the measure. I am and have been for a long time a firm believer in the County Unit Plan. I have been confirmed in my belief by my experience in both types of school, rural and city. It aims to produce conditions under which a strong teacher can be placed in the smallest and most remotely located of schools. One of the crying injustices of our present educational system is the dis crimination against the small school district with the low valuation. Why should people who have the hardihood to open up the country and develop its resources be penalized with poor and inadequate school facilities. This can only be remedied when the entire county pays an equal tax for school purposes. The slogan of "Equal Educational Opportunities for All," can never be realized until some larger unit is ad opted and a plan of administration adopted that will place the rural schools under as close supervision as the city or even the small town schools. Local boards are usually composed of men who are too busy to give proper care to the management and care of their schools but when they can confer with the central board who have an opportunity to do big things in a bigger way, they will have a keener interest and will see to it that their school is as good as any in the county. The greater expense can be taken care of by eliminating the following items of expense which are being paid under our present system: Clerks salaries which now amount to about $1200 per year not counting the clerks in our seven high school districts. Clerks' bonds, other than High School $ 500 Audit of clerks' books each year . 300 County Supt. salary 1600 Tax on unorganized territory at 3 mills, more than - 2000 Making a total of 5400 Let me sum up the advantages of the County Unit System: First It equalizes taxes. Second Closer and more efficient supervision. Third More equal opportunities and equal advantages. Fourth The school plant can be placed and maintained on a cash basis. FifthIt provtles school facilities to the children who live in isolated places and unorganized territory. Sixth It places the state office in closer contact with every school in the county. Seventh School maintenance will gradually reduce thereby lessening taxes. In a few words it is more efficient, more business-like administration, equalized taxation, and economy, be cause the schools can be run on a cash basis and supplies can be pur chased at a great'discount. Now let me say that as the head of the Morrow county schools I felt it my duty to place this system on the ballot. If it should pass, the office of County School Superintendent will be aboUibed. For this reason I did not announce myself a candidate for County School Superintendent. If it should carry, and I was elected by the people of the county to continue in my present position, the County Eoaid might feel duty bound to hire me for the new position of Superin tendent of the County District, a con dition I did not wish to create. The office should not be a political one. By petition my name could be placed on the ballot in November. Thanking the people of Morrow county for their kindness to me, and their loyal support during my term in office and feeling assured of their continued good will and courtesy, I am Very truly yours, LENA SNELL SHURTE, County Superintendent. FIRST CHURCH OF CHRIST. Lord's Day. May 11, 1924. The church service is a physical rest, a mental tonic and a spiritual food; none of these can be classed with the non-essentials.

Ixtcal Organiutioa Joins Similar Groups Over Country to Provide Gift to Alma Mater. Eugene, Oregon, May 6. (Special.) Heppner alumni of the University of Oregon have begun work on their campaign to raise a large share of the million dollar alumni fund which will be used to erect new buildings. Calvin L. Sweek, '12, of Heppner, fs local chairman of the campaign which will be completed May 80. University of Oregon alumni all over the nation are organizing for this work which Is a part of the Uni versity's $5,000,000 Gift Campaign which is to finance Its five year build ing program. Students on the cam pus have raised $219,000 to build the Student Union and the people of the city of Eugene have promised to is sue bonds to raise $500,000 for the University's auditorium. The alumni's share will be used for a library, a men's gymnasium and a war memor ial court in honor of the University of Oregon men who died in the World war. The Gift Campaign has been organ ized because increased enrollment has made it necessary to use most of the University's income for instruc tion, leaving small margin for build ings. The University is determined not to "wholesale" education and to keep its standards high despite in creasing numbers. And it looks to its alumni throughout the country and the friends of higher education in Oregon to supply the funds to care for its immediate building needs. This is not a new departure for State Universities; many of them have found it impossible to adequate ly finance rapidly growing work from state appropriations alone. State uni versities have received over fifty mil lion dollars in private gifts, the Uni versity of California alone receiving more than $13,000,000. Voter Cannot Change His Registration Now The question has been raised as to whether a legal voter who is not registered' may register on election day and vote. The last legislature amended the primary election law so as to provide that no registered voter may change his party designation within thirty days of the primary election. No voter has the right to re-register on election day for the purpose of changing from one party to another. But an unregistered voter may register by signing the proper oath on the card furnished for that purpose and have two wit nesses make the necessary affidavit just as heretofore. Another question has been asked. Can voters who are not entitled to j take part in the primary election vote on the county unit measure? Only voters registered as republicans or democrats may vote in the primary election, but the members of other parties and voters registered as in dependent or without party affiliation may vote the special election ticket on the county unit proposition. In short, any person who might vote at the general election may vote on the county unit proposition. So, if you are registered as a prohibitionist a socialist, a progressive, or of no party affiliation, you may and should vote on the county unit measure, as also should all democrats and repub licans.

Play Ends 4 to 2 In Midst of Rain, Hail, Snow and Wind. LINE-UP IS CHANGED Van Harter and Aiken Quit tod Con Ip y Leaves, Causing Gen eral Khakt-op. Ball fans attending the Heppner- Condon clash on Gontry field Sunday afternoon were treated to every brand of weather from April showers and July dust storms to mid-December blizzards, with a good exhibitm of ball to keep them in good humor. Condon again hung the crepe on our door with the score sheet showing 4-2. A ninth-inning rally kept the locals from being shut out when Ander son and Drake crossed home plate for two markers. Heppner errors were responsible for two scores by Condon, while they made two earned runs. Fred Roberts' mound work was the means of holding Condon down. He struck out 16 batters in all, tighten ing down in several pinches and fan ning many of the opponents' "heavy stickers." Clow, pitching for Con don, struck out but three men. Gay Anderson, center fielder for the locals, had high batting honors with two double-sackers. Roberts made the longest bingle of the day, a three-base blow, but was called out because of missing second base. The pretty fielding, batting and base running of Hill, Condon's new short stop, was a feature of Sunday's play. Bert Johnson, of lone, re fe reed the game satisfactorily to all. Two old heads on the Heppner line-up, "Spec" Aiken and "Red" Van Marter, dropped off the team this week, and Jim Conley, shortstop, left for Arlington. This has caused a general shake-up of players, and Heppner will put a much-changed team on the diamond against Arling ton here Sunday. The probable substitutes for these positions will be Francis Doherty, first baseman for the high school, on first; B. R. Finch, eighth grade prin cipal, on third, and Ralph Moore, who has been playing second, on short. Paul Aiken will probably re place Moore at second. This makes a completely new infield with the ex ception of the battery. Line-Up and Summary: CONDON AB R H E Hill, ss 5 12 0 R. Fitxmaurice, 2b 5 0 0 1 Brown, 3b 6 0 0 0 C.
