Kilkenny Receives Best Price of 38 Cents for Largest Clip. FINE STUFF PICKED Choice Fleece Only Change Hand; Activity Greatest of Seaman With Many CI I pa Offered. Orer 400,000 pounds of wool was purchased from local sheepmen at the wool sales here yesterday. A lively Interest was shown hy the sheepmen and close to a million pounds was placed on the market. The largest clip purchased was that of John Kilkenny, weighing over 100, 000 pounds, which went to Burke, buy ing for Boston mills, at 38 cents. This was also the best price received at the sales. Burke, Stanneld and Charlie Green, all representing Bos 'ton firms, were the main buyers. Thirty-eight cents was the price at which a big part of the wool sold. Among those receiving this figure were O'Connor Bros., W. B. Barratt, Phill Cohn, Anson Wright & Son, W. II. Cleveland, Emil Groshens and Frank Monahan. D. O. Justus sold for 37 cnts. Several other small slips were sold around 38 cents. Only about half of the wool up for sale was disposed of, many sheepmen not being willing to sell at the pre vailing prices. However, it is thot from the prices offered at previous sales over the country so far this season, that the local growers have received a' very fair return. Up to the present time there has been very little action in the wool market here and yesterday's sales mark an inclin ation towards IWIier activity. Buyers showed great partiality toward the fine wools yesterday, and nearly all that was sold was of this nature. They were very ciitical in going through the fleeces and picked on the choicest fine wooh. Some coarse wool was sold, but only a few small lots that were held by sellers of large clips of fine stuff. Curran Home Scene of Pretty Wedding Misa Marie Curran and Mr. J a red C. Aiken, Popular Yoong Couple, Married Tuesday Morning. A very pretty home wedding was that of Miss Marie Agnes Curran to Mr. J a red Cecil Aiken, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Curran, in this city at 6:30 Tuesday morning. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Father Cantwell, pastor of St. Patrick s parish. Cath olic church of this city, in the pres ence of relatives and friends of the contracting parties. The beautiful ring ceremony was ufied with pretty little Miss Helen Groshon, cousin of the bride, as ring bearer. The bride was attended by her sister. Miss Helen Curran as bridesmid, and Mr. Paul Aiken, broth er of the bridegroom, was best man. The bride was simply attired in a blue serge suit for traveling, with a beautiful corsage of flowers at the waist. Her sister also wore a blue serge suit with a similar corsage. The bridegroom wore a blue travel Ing suit. Following the taking of the obli gation the bride and bridegroom led the way to a sumptuous wedding breakfast, where the huge wedding cake surrounded by a wreath of sweet peas adorned the center of the table. The delicious repast was served in three courses. Immediately after the breakfast Mr. and Mrs. Aiken were accompanied to the train by the wedding party and took their leave Artistic Magic at Chautauqua McDonald Birch Will Make Last Night "Joy Night."

Though loosely played and some what one-Bided the game between the locale and Arlington on Memorial Day furnished considerable amuse ment to the fans. Arlington's reor ganized club which crossed bats with the locals is made up mostly of high school boys who are lacking in ex perience. They showed themselves to be mighty good sports, however, with no crabbing and took their drubbing of 14-6 in good part. Errors were quite numerous on each side though the visiting lads made the greater number. These er rors were responsible for many Hepp ner scores, and a blow-up by the lo cals in the ninth was responsible for Ave tallies for Arlington. Freddie Roberts struck out five Arlington men in the ninth before the tide was stem med, and two- men who fanned the breeze crossed home plate for mark ers. Campbell, Arlington's boy pitcher, resembled Harold Lloyd with his horn-rimmed spectacles, and lived up to the resemblance 'by amusing the stands throughout the game. He had a wind-up which fooled 'em. The batter became so engrossed in his contortions that every once in a while he failed to see the ball come across, and largely due to this Campbell struck out 7 men. Heppner hit the boy hard, however, getting 18 clean bingles in all. Fred Roberts was not forced to ex ert himself a great deal to hold the lads from the river city. Only when his support weakened did he bear down, and even at that he had to strike out five men In the ninth be fore the required three took the count. Fred had high batting honors with two three-bag, one two-bag and a single hit out of five times at bat. This game finished the season (or Heppner, placing her in third place in the Morrow-Gilliam county league and throwing Arlington into the ceU lar. There is rumor of a game for the Fourth of July here, but nothing definite has been decided.

Hyslop Will Speak, and Meet ings Will Be Interesting. A field meeting: will be held at the wheat nursery on the Troy Bogard farm north of lone. Friday, June 13. The nursery is located along the road a quarter of a mile west of Bogard's house. The time of the meeting has been set for 1:30, and cars will leave lone at 1 o'clock for the nursery. D. E. Stephens, superintendent of the Moro Station, and Prof. G. R. Hyslop of the Oregon Agricultural College, will be present and will speak at the nursery. After the meeting at the nursery is finished, the trip to Moro will be made across country, and Sat urday, June 14, will be spent at the Moro Experiment Station. All those who have ever visited the Moro Sta tion are enthusiastic regarding the work of the station and the good they received by visiting It, Mr, Stephens states that the various prac tices being tried out at the station are showing some striking differences this year. At the nursery in Morrow county, there are many items of interest to local farmers. In all, thirty-five va rieties of winter wheat are being grown as well as eight varieties of winter barley; six of spring barley; twenty-six of spring wheat; five of spring oats, field peas and flax. One of the most interesting features of this year's nursery is the try-outs of three selections of white Turkey wheat. ThiB wheat apparently has all the characteristics of Turkey Red, except that the grain is white and two of the selections in the nurseries are showing up very well. Also fif teen varieties that are smut-resistant are being grown. Several of these are smut-free and have not had any smut in them fn the last three or four years. Others are practically free, having less than one per cent smut when planted heavily smutted and untreated. In the treatment tests Fortyfold, Turkey Red, Bluestem and Hybrid 128 were given nine methods of treatment and two check sections. The three brands of copper carbon ate used in the county last season are being tried out for their effective ness in controlling smut. Those planning to make the trip to Moro are requested to notify the County Agent as soon as possible bo that hotel reservations at Moro can be made. Also, those wishing to go who have no means of transportation should notify County Agent Morse ai once and arrangements will be made' for them to ride with some of the people who are taking their cars. Members of the Heppner Boy Scout troop, who have been spending ten days on a camping trip near the Hamilton ranch, are expected to re turn to the city today, Reports reaching town have It that the boyp are having a "ye old time."

Mrs. Smith and granddaughter, Miss Lois Livingstone, returned Tues day evening from Portland. They ac companied Mrs, Livingstone to Port land last week, and Mrs, Livingstone remains in the city for a more ex tended visit. ' MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVED. Memorial day was fittingly observed at the Fair grounds Friday morning by a program in remembrance of the nation's war heroes, with a large audience in attendance. Rev. F. R. Spaulding, pastor of the Methodist church, delivered the main address and S. E. Notson presided and offered a few remarks appropriate to the occasion. Gen. Logan's "General Or der No. 11" was read by Paul M. Gemmell and Miss Bernice Woodson gave Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Musical numbers filled out the ser vices. The program was in charge of the G. A. R. and American Legion posts of this city. LABOR MEETING SATURDAY. Farmers 91 the county who are in terested in taking some action on the harvest wage scale for this season will meet at the County Agent's of fice in Heppner, Saturday, June 7 at 2 o'clock. At this time steps will be taken to decide upon a fair wage scale for this season. Following this meeting there will be a meeting of delegates from Wasco, Sherman, Gil liam, Morrow and Umatilla counties who will meet at the Moro Experi ment Station Sunday, June H, in an effort to standardize the wage scale in the wheat producing counties in Eastern Oregon. All farmers who are interested in this question are invited to attend. MASONS VISIT IONE. About thirty members of Heppner Lodge No. 6, A. F. A A.

Written Specially for The Gazette-Times By ROBERT FILLER (Through Autocaster Service.) Washington, June 4. It is easy for World War veterans to find out how much insurance they are entitled to from the Government if they will follow the simple computing method used by the Veterans' Bureau. Director Gen. Hines has issued instructions with an explan ation of how to include the 25 per cent increase. The increase of 25 per cent should not be added to the number of days served in the army before the service credit is multiplied by the factor. The factor was compiled by Gen, Ilines and is the official method de vised by the bureau. Gen. nines Rives the following di rections for the use of the factors. Allow $1 per day for each day of, home service. Allow $1.26 per day for each day of foreign service. Deduct $t)0 from this sum. Multiply the balance by the factor opposite the age (nearest birthday) as shown in the table below. The result will be the amount of the adjusted service certificate. As an example: Age at date of issue, 27. Home service 125 days. Overseas service, 110 dnys. One hundred and seventy-five mi nus 60, times $1, equals $111,. One hundred and ten times $1.25 equals $137.50. Adjusted service credit, $252,60. 2.632 factor at ago of 27. $252.50 service credit multiplied by 2.532 equals $639.33. Six Cylinder Love at Chautauqua First Night Three Act Comedy One of Very Best; Dayies-Qualen-Greene Entertain- era la Opening Feature. "3sX CjlinJer Love," from the peu of William Anthony McGuire, which will be played in the big tent the first night, June 30, has been a bigger hit than any of the last decade. Wit ness this by its phenomenal run of 54 consecutive weeks in New York city and having been chosen as the vehicle to open Chicago's New Harris theater. It is brimming with humor, clever lines and tangled situations, and is one continuous roar of laughter from start to finish. Something absolutely new in the villain line is promised. It won't be the slick city chap, the wild west rough-neck, or the chap with black moustache and red tie. This villain is slender and rakish in build, purrs like a kitten and has a thirst like an elephant. In fact it is nothing more or less than an automobile, and as everyone must ad mit a benzine buggy has played vil lainous roles in more than one family. The story is that of a young couple who fell victim to the lure of the motor car. But they found there was more to owning a car than buying it. Fair weather friends gather around them they indulge in wild extrava gances they cannot afford and go on the rocks while the second couple take ownership and are led into sim ilar difficulties by the soulless vil lain. There are so many funny situa tions in this comedy so much humor, so many laughs, that the lesson of extravagance it carries will be easy (Continued on Page Six) $639.33 is the adjusted Service Cer tificate.

Morrow county's wheat crop is not all gone, and a conservative estimate of thia year's yield Is 50 per cent of normal, is Roger W, Morse's, coun ty agent's, estimate of the crop situa tion as it now stands. Mr. Morse says the drought of the past month has hit the crop an awful jolt, but at that there will be grain to har vest. "Fields are mighty spotted," says Mr. Morse, "and this year's yield will show a premium on poor farming." He says there is not much difference in the appearance of crops in the dif ferent sections. Though the grain in the south end is later chances are it will do no better than crops in the north end unless a good rainrelieves the withering effect of the present hot weather. There is a chance if hot winds should come instead of rain the crops all over the county would be practically a total loss. Much of the grain that appears to be entirely burnt up is not in as bad shape as it appears. This was brought to Mr. Morse's attention by a farmer below lone. In cutting some of his withered gram for hay this man found that there was still sap enough in it to gum up the sickles. It is Mr. Morse's belief that a good soak 'ng rain on the grain in this condi Jon would cause the heads to fill and make a yield well worth harvesting. Stands are better on the deeper soil aid north slopes where the moisture vas held longer and these fields will harvest fair yields. It is well evi denced that the farmer who has plow ed deep and worked his land well will be greatly repaid for his work thiB year, especially, for the farmer who has succeeded in holding moisture in the ground for the longest period has succeeded in bringing the stand far enough along that it will make grain in spite of the drought. The whole situation is still very much of a guess though, in Mr. Morse's opinion, and no farmer can say exactly what bis crop will roako. There is only one thing sure, and that is that the crops are badly hit and the threshing alone will deter mine the outcome. Though rain was predicted with the change of the moon, there is no sign of its arrival here. Clear, hot days with west winds and cool nights have been prevalent the past week. Little evidence of a change is shown by the barometer. CONDON GRABS CHAMPIONSHIP GAME AT IONE By Hard Hitting and Clean Field ing lone Beaten 8-5. Drake's Homer Feature of Batfest. Condon walked off with the first game with lone in the championship series of the Morrow-Gilliam county league, with the score 8-5. lone got off to a bad start in the first two innings. The Condon batters found Roche, who started on the mound for the Egg City, and got in two runs the first inning and five in the sec ond, when Fred Roberts replaced Roche. Roberts went on the mound "cold" and was at a disadvantage. How ever, he succeeded in bringing Con don's bat-fest to a halt, and with one run in the third Inning their scoring was finished. lone had hard luck in placing their hits all through, and combined with the neat fielding of their opponents, which was almost phenomenal at times, were held score less until the seventh. Then it was the lone boys started a merry-go-round which nearly prov ed the undoing of the Wheat City aggregation. Condon's lead was too great, however, and the rally, which netted five tallies, ended their scor ing. Werner Rietmann started the ball rolling with a clean bingle into left field. Roberts walked and Eu banks singled, filling the bases. A 'single by Vic Reitmann scored W. Rietmann and Roberts; then Cleo Drake made a hero of himself by knocking a homer. Big Charlie Fiti maurice, Condon catcher, then gave Clow a chance to come down to earth, and they put a stop to the balloon as cension. Wheir and Bob Fitzmaurice. short stop and second baseman for Condon, did more than their share of holding lone, by cutting o"ff hits. Wheir brought the stands to their feet once by diving out hesdlong and picking a hot drive a few inches off the ground with one hand. Another time he stretched out full length and stabbed a hot drive, which might easily have been classed as a hit, Bobby Fits also cut off a drive by happening to be in exactly the right place to grab it. Condon was surely at her best Sun day, and if sh shows the same class of ball in the second game of the series at home next Sunday, there is tittle doubt but that the pennant will be hers. Next Sunday's game will be played at Condon. News received here today announc ed the birth of a daughter to Mr. and Mrs. A, A, Amort at their home in Corvallis at 6 o'clock this morning. Mrs. Amort will be remembered by Heppner Iriends as Miss Melba Griffiths. - By Arthur Brisbane Mars Will Teach Us. Hope for the Hopeless. One Good Deed. The Great Derby. Sending photographs by wire is at last perfectly successful. This will mean more to the education of this earth than we can realize now. Mere ly gratifying cariosity or capturing criminals by telephotography on this little planet isn't the important thing. What can be done on wires can be done through the ether that sepa rates this earth from other planets in our family. We shall get from these planets radio portraits showing faces of their strange inhabitants and radio "blue prints" from Mara showing ua how to dig canals to store the waters of the oceans when frost, rain and at trition make this earth perfectly round, leaving no natural cavities to hold the water. If the earth were absolutely round, as it will be in a few million years, ! the ocean would cover it about a 1 mile deep everywhere. We must know j how to prevent that. Mars, tens of millions of years older than Earth, will reach us by radio. If that sounds preposterous remem ber what you would have said twenty ( years ago if you had been told that ! a preacher in Chicago some day would be heard in Los Angeles and New foundland in the same second. ftepub'ican gentlemen that tried to "frame up" Senator Wheeler, as cor rupt detectives once in a while "frame" a victim when they need a scapegoat, are in trouble. Men in Montana who thought that copper shou'd control the state, and the men in Washington who thought oil should control thti Nation, both disliked Wheeler and decided to put him in jail. They will wish before the thing is over that they hadn't made that attempt. It wasn't a good time for it, although it has doubtlesa often been done before. Here's hope for the hopeless, the victims of hay fever, Mr. Cooldige, who has a "rose cold," sits for forty five minutes in an air-tight room, breathing in air mixed with Chlorine gas. He leaves saying "the trouble is gone." Chlorine gas cures colds in men and epizootic in horses. Why should it not cure, or at least relieve, hay j fever that tortures thousands for weeks every year? When European nations decided to take what money they could get from China after the Boxer uprising, the United States got some of the in demnity cash, and then realized that it was international blackmail. The money was sent back to China to be used for education. China now thanks the United States Minister, saying that other nations have followed our example. "So shines a good deed in a naughty world." The Dutch Reformed Church of South Africa opposes prohibition say ing: "Wine is the gift of God vhich no one should desecrate." That church takes seriously the Bibie statement that the founder of Christianity, by a miracle turned wa ter into wine, to make a wedding more cheerful. Some American preachers say that wine thus pro duced was non-alcoholic. But is it likely that wedding guests would have considered that a miracle worth while? The Senate Committee of Agricul ture rejected the Ford bid for Muscle Shoals by a vote of 10 to 6. That isn't final, but it shows how difficult it is to get anything through in Washington sometimes. It isn't quite so difficult if there is a "little black bag." with the right kind of lining in the offing. Wall Street men will discover that Secretary Mellon who had no trouble in cutting hundreds of millions off the national expenditures, will easily find a way to finance the soldeirs' bonus. Tens of thousands gather at Louis ville, Kentucky, all excited, eager, speculating, hotting on "the great American Derby." The winning horse will get $50 000. For half the money that a good jockey earns in a week you can buy an automobile that will run any ten horses to death every day and never get tired. Speed in horses no longer moans anything use ful. Racing, betting, horse excite ment will continue, for it takes men a long time to got over anything they have been doing for a thousand years.

We have always tried to give the best service possi ble regardless of time, conditions or place, refusing no one service or credit in our undertaking work. But strange as it may seem we find many forget to settle such accounts and fts a consequence we have decided to put our undertaking work on a cash bnis. We believe this will work no hardship on Morrow county's worthy citizens. All old accounts not paid or satisfactorily secured will be of fered for sale. July 15th, 1924. CASE FURNITURE CO. Relief Measure Takes Count 221 to 134 In House. SUBSTITUTE ASKED New Measure to Include Swine and Other Products; Farmers to Bold Conference. (Wednesday's Oregonian.) Washington, D. C, June 8. The McNary-Haugen export corporation bill was finally killed In the house this afternoon by the overwhelming vote of 224 to 154. Immediately the republican steering committee grant ed an audience to representatives of the agricultural districts, resulting in the decision to have a new bill drafted by which the war finance cor poration would be authorized to pur chase all of the exportable surplus of the 1924 wheat crop and swine, also the products of wheat and swine, with a view to stabilizing the pro ducer's prices. The president also would be empowered to declare an embargo on either of these staples. The authority of the war finance cor poration would run to July 1, 1925, while the McNary-Haugen bill pro visions extended over five years. It is understood that the steering committee indicated its approval of the proposal and that the proaident will be urged to pat -his administra tion behind it for passage before ad journment Saturday. When opponents of the McNary-Haugen bill heard of the new plan some of them denounced it as worse than the export corpora tion scheme because, they said, it was now proposed to do practically the same thing in such a way as to com pel the United States treasury to take any resultant loss. The McNary Haugen bill, they pointed out, placed the loss upon the producers. Conference Is Called. Simultaneous with the adverse vote, the farm organization which for six months has fought the battle in Washington for the passage of the McNary-Haugen bill issued a call for a nation-wide conference of farm or ganizations to be held at St. Paul July 17 and 18, to "perfect arrange ments for expanding and carrying on the campaign for agricultural justice and equality. The statement said that representatives of the farmers refused to accept today's decision of congress as final and that step would be taken to "continue the work for the principles of the McNary-Haugen bill." The defeat of the bill came today after the house, by a vote of 101 to 64 had rejected a motion by Jones of t Texas to redraft the bill to the com mittee on agriculture with instruc tions to resubmit its provisions to apply only to wheat and hogs. Rep resentative Aswell of Louisiana, ranking democrat of the committee on agriculture, rose and urged all those who opposed the bill to vote against the motion to recommit. Democrats Against Bill. Southern democrats fell upon the bill en masse and, with eastern dem ocrats and republicans, furnished the votes to make its demise certain. The vote for the bill included 100 repub licans, 52 democrats and two fanner labor. The vote against included 101 republicans, 122 democrats and one socialist. The solidly radically Wis consin delegation, ten of whom are LaFollette worshippers, divided, five for the bill and six against. Voting for the bill were: Cooper, Frera, Browne, Nelson and Lampert; against the bill Volgt, Schneider, Schaefer, Peavy, Beck and Victor Berger. The vote of the Wisconsin delegation appeared to create more interest than any other feature of the final test because of the vocal activities of Senator LaFoilette in the last few days with reference to helping the farmer. The result was not a surprise be cause it had been foretold in the roll call of last Saturday night when the opposition to the bill forced ad journment by a vote of 180 to 136. Today's vote indicated that with all members present and voting the op position would have had a majority of about 100. The statement issued by friends of the bill after its defeat had been announced was signed by George C. Jewett of Minneapolis and Portland, genera) manager of the American Wheat Growers' associated, as chair man of a committee which included representatives of all of the leading farm organizations, national and state. Action Held Unjust. "By failing to enact into law the principles of the McNary-Haugen ex port corporation bill," the statement read, "the present congress has re fused to concede to American agri culture equal opportunity and equal protection with that which the nation grants to other industries and insti tutions. Congress has freely admit ted the plight of the farmer, but it has refused to tnke steps dictated by simple justice, to which have precip itated nation-wide agricultural col lapse. "We cannot believe that thi deci sion of congress is to bi taken as final. Otherwise we should have no choice except to return to the mi!
