The regular June session of the circuit court for Morrow county was called at the court house in Heppner on Monday at 10:00 a. m., Judge Gil bert W. Phelps, presiding, and all other officers of the court present. The session was a short one and the work wbi completed on Tuesday eve ning. But one jury trial was heard, and this occupied much of the time of the court on the second day. Re ports of two grand juries were pre sented and the 1923 grand jury was discharged, while the services f the 1124 body were suspended, only, for the time being, subject to the call of the court.

ROBERTS WINS - GAME FOR IONE FROM CONDON Holds Opponents to No Hits and No Runs Til! Ninth; Saw-Off at Egg City Sunday. Fred Roberts came into his own In the second game of the championship series between lone and Condon at the Wheat City Sunday, pitching the Egg City team to an 8-3 victory. He brought glory to himself in the form of allowing no hits and no runs up to the ninth inning. This ties the series between the two contenders for the pennant in the Morrow-Gilliam county league, and the deciding game will be played at lone next Sunday. Freddie had mighty good support except for the ninth, and several of what might have been hits were cut off by fast fielding. The lone batters likewise had an on-day and ran "Kewpie" Clow ragged from the start. In the first inning Cochran, lead-off man, singled and advanced to second and third as the next two batters took the count, and scored on a three bag bloV by Roberts. Things were then fairly tight till the fifth, when lone punished ''Kewpie unmerciful ly. A couple of hits and an error filled the bases and Drake stepped up and knocked a single, scoring two runners. Batting on around, three more men crossed home plate, when with one gone and the bases full a double-play ended the fracas. lone got in a couple more runs in the ninth. Then with blood in their eyes and determined not to take ft shut-out, the Condon warriors rallied in a last mighty effort to make the rounds. And well did they calculate. Ortman started it by clouting the ball for two bags, Condon's first hit which blasted Robert's hopes of a shut-out Bobbie "Fitz" and Brown, who follow ed in order, got on, and all three crossed the home marker before lone got together again and remembered how to play ball. Sunday was an off-day for "Kew pie," otherwise the game would have been mighty close, for his support were credited with only four errors while lone made three. Clow allow ed 12 hits and fanned but three men, while Roberts allowed but two hits and struck-out ten. The saw-off game next Sunday at lone promises to be a hot one with neither team showing evident odds. Every fan in the county who wishes to see a clean, hot game should be there.

A meeting of farmers to discuss harvest wages wan held at the coun cil chambers at Heppner last Satur day, with an attendance of twenty five farmers of the county. At this meeting a tentative wage scale was adopted to be submitted by delegates from Morrow county at a harvest wage conference to be held at Moro the next day. At the harvest wage conference at Moro, Sunday, June 8, were repre sentatives from Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Umatilla and Morrow coun ties. W. C. Carpenter, director of the Federal Employment Service for the northwest states, of Spokane, was present and discussed the labor sit uation with respect to the labor sup ply for this year's harvest Accord ing to Mr. Carpenter, indications point to a plentiful supply of labor throughout harvest It was the at titude of most of the farmers at the meeting that a fair wage should be paid but that they could not afford to pay the wages that had been paid the past few years. The schedule adopted represents the best judgment of the delegates from the various counties atid was adopted without ob jection from any locality. The scale as adopted follows: Combines. Sack sewers - $3.50 Drivers . 3.50 Header tenders - 2.50 Separaor tenders 5.00 Caterpillar drivers 5.00 Straw haulers 2.50 Cooks, up to ten men 2.00 Water bucket and roustabout 2.50 Stationary. Derrick drivers 2.00 Box drivers with nets - 2.00 Box drivers without nets - 2.50 Loaders - 8.00 Sack sewers 3.60 Header punchers 4.00 Hoe downs 2.50 Engineers 4.00 Separator tenders 5.00 DR. E. T. HAGERMAN The average American citiren gives his physical being pretty good at tention. If the human machinery gets clogged up he goes nfter it pronto" the Bluggish liver is stir red into action, the pain in the side or cold in the head is given french leave by the doctor or home remed ies. Hut how many doctor up sluggish minds and wipe the cobwebs from restricted mental vision? Dr. E. T. Hagerman, who will come to Chautauqua on the fifth night with his famous lecture-talk on "The Man With One Window," will have Borne mental pills for those of restricted mental .viHion. It is said they are not sugar-coated but administered in unadulterated form. He brings a mes sage of light a plea for moro win dows and a broader viewpoint He says the man or woman whose every problem Is solved has a stationary knowledge and that moans a station ary vision. The achievements of the last century have meant more to civ ilisation than all that went before It bee tun a world vision has been broader, lio claims, and to keep pro gressing those with but one mental window must reconstruct their men tat houses. Ho is an exceptional spenkor. His humor and story telling has frequently been likened to that of Aba 'Lincoln, and he enjoys the distinction of being voted the most popular ''feature" on the programs of Eastern circuits, Report on Vacation Bible School Sessions Through the kindness of Mrs. C. E. Woodson, we are able to present the following report of the work of the Vacation Bible school, now in ses sion at the MethodiBt Community church : The second annual Daily Vacation Bibie school 'of Heppner will com plete a very successful ten day term on Sunday evening, when the school will put on the closing program at the Christian church. The school has been a community enterprise, and the corps of officers and instructors has included repre sentatives of all the churches in Heppner. The total enrollment is 57 pupils. These pupils have been divided into three groups, the kindergarten, pri mary, and advanced divisions. Each grade has had its individual instruc tors. Mrs. Osmin Hager and Miss Erma Lovgren have had charge of the kin dergarten, with the help of assist ants. The work in this department has consisted mainly of work with crayons, cut-outs, and sand tables. This work was interspersed with mu sic periods and story telling hours. The primary group has been in charge of Mrs. E. R. Huston and Mrs. A. D. McMurdo, Bible stories, dram atizations, and mission stories have formed the work of this department An extensive study of Japanese home life has been made in connection with their mission work. Mrs. S. E. Notson and Mrs. Roger Morse have directed the advanced group. Bible study and stories, dram atizations, and mission work were the chief subjects taught. A study of the life of Booker T. Washington was given in this grade, and It prov ed highly beneficial. An assembly period was held onre a day for all the pupils. Mrs. R. W. Lowry directed this assembly. A very enjoyable feature of the school has been the music under the direction of Mrs. C, V. Hopper. Playground work under Miss Helen Wells was an important part The school has proved immensely successful and it is certainly an in stitution which should be made an annual event in Heppner. The closing program next Sunday will give ample proof of the high class of work which has been done. The program will be put on entirely by the children and will be a fitting close to a highly sucessful session of the Vacation Bible school. Wheat Growers Go on Moro Trip Tomorrow The annual trip of the Morrow county wheat farmers to the Moro Experiment station wilt be made to morrow, in connection with an In spection of the wheat nursery north of lone. The program as arrang ed by County Agent Morse, provides for leaving lone at 1:00 p. m. ami starting the meeting at the nursery on the Troy Bogard place at 1:30 p. m. The nursery Is located a quarter of a mile west of ttogard's house. D. E. Stephens, superintendent of the Moro station, will be present and will discuss the many varieties and typi being tried out at the nursery. At the close of this meeting the trip to Moro will be mado .arriving there to morrow evening. Saturday will bo spent visiting the experiment station with the farmers from Gilllnm and Sherman countios. Those who have visited the station this year state that there are as many interesting things in the station this year, as in any of the past years. BOY SCOUT MEETING. Troop No. 1, B. S. A will moot this week on tomorrow, Friday, evening at 7 o'clock. All Scouts should be p re lent. LIVINGSTONE, S. M. Heppner Arranging for Celebration on Fourth It has been many years since Hepp ner has attempted to celebrate the Fourth of July. The last time, we believe, was when we had the big fireworks on our natal day in 1918, and that had not been planned for. In reality, it was a number of years bef that when the city put on a real celebration and the joys of that occasion have been passed up locally and the other communities round about took over the job of entertain ing the people of the county with celebrations. So far this season, however, there has been no announce ment that any of the communities accustomed to celebrating are pre paring for "doings" on this date, so Heppner is thinking of stepping out again in that direction. The Chautauqua is on hands the erd of this month and the big show runs over the 6th of July. This makes it quite appropriate to attempt a cel ebration that may be pulled off in conjunction with the Chautauqua pro gram, and a committee is at work on the proposition and will be able to make their detinite announcement Jvj the first of the coming week. It Vas hoped that this program could be worked out for this week's paper, but this was not possible, so printed matter will be got out by Monday or Tuesday next As we understand it the committee is not planning for more than one day, but they will try to make this intensely interesting and entertaining for all who come to town. Keep an eye open for further announcements. LOCAL HS ITEMS Mrs. J. H. Bush and two children arrived here from Vernonia, Oregon, the last of the week and are spend ing a couple of weeks at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Kirk, of Willow creek. Mrs. Bush states that the town of Vernonia, a comparatively new place, is quite prosperous and lively. The lumber ing industry thrives there where big ills are in operation. Mr. Bush is proprietor of the movie theater and enjoys a fine business. The Misses Nellie and Doris Flynn, young ladies of this city, who have been on a visit to their mother at Austin, Oregon, for the past few weeks, will go from Austin to Mon mouth this week to attend the ses sions of the summer school at the State Normal. The young ladies each teach schools In this county the com ing winter. Mrs. W. E. Bell, who is on a visit to her old home in Minnesota, writes her husband that the valley of the Rod River of the North is suffering vory greatly from drouth. Much wheat is produced in the Rod River valley and Mrs. Boll states the crops will be very much shortened there by the lack of seasonable ruins. Frank S. Farkor will leave for Mon mouth, Oregon, on Saturday, being accompanied by his daughter, Miss Francis, who will attend the sessions of the summer school at the State Nnrnml. Miss Parker has a school in Wallowa county for the coming winter. Mrs, Lyilia Baker of Joseph has been spending tlie past week at Hepp ner, visiting with relatives and at tending the Kirk family reunion at the John Kirk home on Tuesday. She was accompanied to Heppner by her son and Miss Pearl Rooney. Mrs. Lucy T. Wedding, who bus been in charge of the school nt Tnn gent, Oregon, during the pnt year, returned to Heppner the first of the week and contemplates spending her summer vacation, here. Over fifty pupils aro enrolled in tho vacation Bible school at tho Method ist Community cliurch. Every Sun day school in town is represented. MANY MEMBERS OF KIRK FAMILY JOIN IN REUNION Home of Mr. and Mrs. John T. Kirk on Willow Creek Scene of Happy Event Tuesday. The home of Mr. snd Mrs. John T. Kirk on Willow creek was the scene on Tuesday of a very happy event, it being a family reunion of the brothers and sisters 'Of Mr. Kirk and the members of the family of him self and wife and a company of fifty seven was gather together to spend the entire day enjoying the hospital ity prepared and abundantly poured out for them by Mr. and Mrs. Kirk. The folks gathered early in the morning and remained all day long, and from what we are able to learn there was not a dull moment during the entire time. Preparations for this event have been going on for some time, and it was the hope of Mr. Kirk that all the living members of his family might be present, but this hope was not possible, as one sister, Mrs. Letha Hendrix of Cop perfield, Oregon, was prevented from coming by the illness of her husband, and a daughter, Mrs. Florence Jep son of Edmonton, Alberta, was pre vented" from being here because of her own illness. With these two exceptions, and the unavoidable ab sence of John H. Bash, son-in-law, who was compelled to remain with his business at Vernonia, the entire I family was brought together for the : first time in 46 years and Mr. Kirk feels that his efforts in bringing about the reunion so successfully at this time are a source of much grati fication. He hopes to make it an an nual event from now on, when the family will gather at the home of some member in different parts of the state and thus renew the family ties; if it is not made an annual event, he Is quite sure the gathering will be more often than in the past as this occasion has proven to them what they have been missing in the years that have gone by. Mr. Kirk had prepared a big sign of welcome and over this was spread In majestic style the Stars and Stripes, and the entertainment was carried on beneath the folds of Old Glory. Many games were indulged in by the kiddies and older folks, and then there was an overabundance of all good things to eat, John not over looking the preparation of plenty of pink lemonade for the youngsters and candy and oranges and everything, and they surely had the time of their young lives, while the more elderly folks just visited and engaged in reminiscences and really lived their lives over again. Bert Sigsbee, pho tographer, was also vn band, and a number of views of the group were taken that the day might thus be better remembered. Those present, besides the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. John T. Kirk, and their son, were James L. Kirk, wife, son and daughter; George W. Kirk and wife of Hardman; Jesse Kirk; Wm. M. Kirk, wife and two daughters of Heppner; James C. Sharp, wife and six sons of Heppner; Fred B. Ritchie, wife and two sons and two daugh ters of lone; Mrs. John H. Bush and son and daughter of Vernonia, Ore.; Mrs. Azula (Duckie) Lee of Junction City, Ore.; Mrs. Fannie Howard and granddaughter of Junction City; Mrs. Lydia Baker and son of Josepn, Ore.; Miss Pearl Rooney of Joseph; Mr. and Mrs. Otis Biddle; Hillery Stout; Mack Gentry and wife and three sons; Mr. and Mrs. Grover Swaggart; Mr, and Mrs. L. V. Gentry; Ralph Floreon and wife and two daughters; Wm. Hogg and wife and son; B. G. Sigsbee and M. A. Frye. The day was ideal for the occasion and the reunion of the descendants of Charles S. Kirk, who was an hon ored pioneer of Morrow county, will ever remember this as one of the happiest events in their lives and look forward to the next meeting with delightful anticipation and the hope that there will not be even one of the remaining members of the family absent from the circle. STORM KILLS MANY SHEEP. As a result of the cold rain and snow of Friday night, many flock masters of Morrow county suffered loss of sheep. The snow and rain was accompanied by very strong wind, and many bands of sheep out in the open were caught unprotected, and a great many also had just been turned on the range folllowing shear ing and they were not in a condition to stand the chilly weather. W. B. Barratt was trailing his sheep to the high mountains and on the road they were overtaken by the storm and from 200 to 300 perished. Mr. Bar ratt received word Monday from the forester's office in Pendleton that some 200 of his sheep lay dead along the trail, and ft was up to him to get them buried right away. Bruce Kelly lost about 130 head, Joe Hayes reported a similar loss, John Kilken ny reported a goodly number to per ish, D. O. Justus was a sufferer, and similar reports came in. from various sheep owners. It Is estimated that the storm caused ft loss of between 2600 and 3000 sheep to the flockmas ters of Morrow county. The big rain and snow fall will prove ft blessing to the stockmen, however, as it will help the summer ranges immensely. It was really very dry in the moun tains and there was fear that the water courses would dry up while feed would have been very short. This condition will be greatly ben efitted by the prevailing storms. Spencer Crawford and P. M. Gem mell departed Sunday morning for Portland to spend this week. Mr. Crawford goes as a delegate to the Masonic grnnd lodge, representing Heppner Lodge No. 69, and Mr. Gem mell wilt attend the convention . nf the American Legion as a delegnte from Heppner Post, Incidentally tho boys may find time to take in a part of the Rose show. There is a race between Joe KrUch ner and Sam Notson to get the first Chautauqua ticket when the sale be gins. Chairman Smead thinks there will be ft line formed at the window the night before so Joe and Sam may have some opposition. Boy Scouts Enjoy Their' Camp Outing Immensely Ten Days Delightfully Spent Near HamiltoB Ranch Pats Pep fa the Lads. The ten days of camp life spent by the Boy Scout troop of Jleppner in the mountains will be remembered by them as one of the delights of the year's vacation. They had ft tip-top time evry day they were out, and timed their return just right, getting home just ahead of the big storm at the end of last week. We are glad to be able to give the following re port of the camp, handed as by W. O. Livingstone, scoutmaster, who per haps enjoyed the time with the boys fully as well as any individual mem ber of the troop. The annual Boy Scout encampment that lasted from May 26 to June 6, was by far the largest and most suc cessful, from every standpoint, yet held. There were 28 boys in camp, with an average of 25 present aU the time. The site chosen was ideal; a place just south of the famous Ham ilton- ranch, with fine water, good fishing, shade, and fine scenery. The camp was perfectly organized and followed strictly their daily schedule as given below. There were no ser ious mishaps and every boy seemed to take a pride in making the outing profitable and delightful. The boys fashioned their camps and they were arranged in the form of ft rectangle; did their own cooking, and generally cared for themselves with the oversight of the scoutmaster and other officers. Their work along all lines was very commendable. Drills, games, hikes, contests, nature study, study classes, etc., filled in the time pleasantly and profitably. The troop is very much indebted to the local lodge of ElkS for their kindness in getting them to snd from camp with all of their equipment On the break-up of camp they ap peared on the scene with three gal lons of ice cream. Visitors on Sun day and other times, brought wel come news and good eats from town. All of these things heightened the delights of the occasion. The camp had complete organiza tion : two policemen, Chas. Notson and Terril Benge; two detectives, Jas. Keller and Stanley Minor; lawyers were Edw. Keller, Reid Buseick and Chas. Notson; senior patrol leader, Durward Tash; assistant scoutmas ter, Reid Buseick, and scoutmaster, W. O. Livingstone. The entire ten days was crowded with intense activ ity and the boys returned enthusias tic and already planning for its rep etition another year. The scoutmaster and troop wish to express their sincere appreciation of the splendid cooperation of the par ents of tne boys, the community and the local Elks lodge for their splen did interest and help in every way.

E. Notson of this city, has fallen a victim to the shafts of eupid, as will be seen from the following dis patch to the Sunday Oregonian, sent in from Salem under date of June 7: Monday night at the Delta Phi sor ority Adelia White of 529 East Thirty seventh street North, Portland, an nounced her engagement to Robert Notson, also of Willamette Univer sity. Miss White is a junior at Wil lamette, and was this year manager of the junior class play. She was graduated from Lincoln high school of Portland in 1021. She is a mem ber of the Delta Phi sorority and of the Philodosian Literary society. Robert Notson comes from Hepp ner, Or. He is a senior, a member of the Kappa Gamma Rho fraternity, and of the Chrestophilian Literary society, of which he was president this year. He is a veteran debater, having completed his fourth year on the Willamette debate team. This year he was president of the Willam ette forensic council, and captain of the debate team. He was also foot ball manager last fall. After the announcement at the sor ority, Mr. Notson was taken to the lawn of the sorority by his frater nity brothers, and the couple were given a grand charivari. "SIX CYLINDER LOVE" Here is a brand new type of vill ain! Not the conventional gentleman of dark visage and drooping mus tache, who hisses: "Ah! The Papers!" but rather an AUTOMOBILE. But even at that the gas wagon which does the dirty work in Anthony Mc Guire's popular comedy, "Six Cylin der Love," which will he given here June 30 at the big Chautauqua tent, simply raises havoc with things in a way that would delight the old time melodramatic villain. It just about breaks up two homes, but to tell any more would be giving the story away. The play is a tremendous hit wher ever there are automobiles, so it can be readily understood why "Six Cyl inder Love" ran tifty-four weeks solid in New York and enjoyed a run of several month in Chicago. "Six Cylinder Love" is a new play and Heppner people will get it right hot off the theatrical gridle. It i an up-to-the-minuto farce, touching a theme that is vital in this age of motordom. It preaches a powerful srrnion nirninst extrnvagance and It will hit you right between the eyes, for everyone either owns an automo bile, or would like very much to poa srs one. "Six Cylinder Love" is the hit of a decade, and everyone wants to see It, Inn tit Tl urns vveeKi By Arthur Brisbane Used Cars for Europe. A Text for Ford. What Is A Career? The Judge's Cocktail. When the automobile arrived, old fashioned carriages, Victroias, broug hams, etc, became worthless here, and a market was found for them in South America where they did not give up horses and carriages so eas ily. . Lately the American problem has been "how to get rid of second-hand automobiles," Europe, it seems, will help solve that problem. A company, formed to ship second hand cars to Europe, sends over bar gains by the shipload. Money is not as plentiful there as it is here. The "used car," at a whittled down price, is attractive. Unloading of used cars abroad will be a good thing for Europe, which needs economy, and a good thing for the United States, where millions need Ma bigger or better car." The Senate Agricultural Commit tee, 11 to 5 voted against Ford's Mus cle Shoals offer and took up Senator Norris's bill. Senators that refused Ford's offer are hurting farmers and hurting themselves. But that doesn't console Ford, who must now find his consola tion in the 146th Psalm. Verse 3 is especially recommended : "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.' The unreliable son of man in this case seems to be Mr. Coolidge. m Chlorine gas that wiped out bat talions in the great war, will be used on a bigger scale of destruction against germs of influenza, pneumonia and other diseases. That's a better war. Exclusive clubs in New York decide to suspend their visitors list during the Democratic convention. This is presumably ta oblige members that occasionally dream political dreams, on their own account, but would not like to push a thing so far as to invite those political chaps to one's own club, don't you know." We really have an American aristocracy, a poor thing, but our own. The Methodists, with "going for ward" for their keynote, vote 6 to 1 m their general conference to lift the ban on dances and theaters. The old rule was no amusement "except those which can be used in the name of the Lord Jesus." Now amusement and religion can be kept separate, as education and religion are be pa rate in public schools. Charles H, Mayo, great surgeon, says cancer will be conquered "with in a few years." Already seventy to eighty per cent of cancers can be cured "if taken in time." Remember that over-eating is one of the prin cipal causes of cancer. Keen your system light, clear, clean, full of energy, and it will deal with the diseases that attack it. Overloaded, it is helpless. Miss Gildersleeve, dean of Barnard College, tells the girls that marriage is not ENOUGH for women now. Each girl must have a career, as well as a husband. What IS a career? Beethoven's job was music. Michel Ange'.o's was art. Did not their mothers have a career, when they created them? Or must they also paint pictures and write music? Is not the creator as great as the thing created? Mothers are the creators, men are only the product, depending tor their fame on what their mothers give them. It would horrify you to read about a female gorilla capturing a young girl, skinning her, to use the skin as sandals. That never happened.
