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.

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.

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

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.

After the announcement at the sor

"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,

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. But
European ladies are having sar.dals
made of the soft and plkihwe skin of
monkeys, guaranteed not to "squeak."
In a gorilia that would shock us. it's
all right for ft lady.
Rebecca West, an intelligent young
English writer, back in London, toils
of a judge in the Middle We.t, "who
danced the tango with passion rurely
exhibited in public place-. And after
ward gave me a wonderul cocktail
made of a brand of white tire out
of a stiver flask the size of the A.cot
Cup."
At his invitation ho sat on the
bench with him next day and saw
him tine a ci'Ioied lady, seventy -live
years old, $o0 for currying a pint
bottle of moonah're wh,stuy. She
presents that as a st'iupSe of our
"respect ftr law."
