MOST OF CAST NEW
Player. Who Had Never Ben on the
Stage Before Make Few Slips In
Good Three-Act Comedy.
An almost entirely new cant ap
peared before the Heppner publie at
the Star theater last evening, when
the Juniori of the high tchool pre
aented .their play. "Brother Elks," to
an appreciative audience. The thea
ter wai well filled, and be it laid to
the credit of each one of the per
former!, their characters were well
sustained. But one member of the
cast had been before the Heppner
public before and if some of them
were slightly afflicted with stage
fright, or forgot their lines and cues
occasionally, they were not to be
censured, for these slips were few
and far between.
The play is comedy practically all
the way through, and under the tu
torship of Principal Smith and his
assistants, the cast was able to bring
out the salient points with telling
effect, and the audience was convulsed
with many a good laugh as the play
proceeded.
The high school Orchestra fur
nished several selections and between
acts one and two, Chas. Notson gave
a reading which demonstrated his
ability along this line, while follow
ing act two, Mr. Smith and Miss
Kathleen McDaid offered a "vodevli"
sketch that brought forth a lusty
encore. The audience was well
pleased with the evening's entertain
ment, and it was shown that some
very fine talent ia coming along for
future plays of the high school, and
the Juniors will be able to fully
measure up in thia regard to those
of the classes that have gone before.

ington county, Oregon, and died at
her home near Hardman, April 19.
1925, aged 68 years, 4 months and 25

ing mother, the husband a devoted
wife, and the community a friend that
will be sorely missed.
Funeral services were held at the
home on Tuesday at 10:00 a. m., Rev.
E. C. Alford of Heppner officiating,
and interment was in the Hardman
. cemetery in charge of Mistletoe Re
bekah lodge No. 25 of Hardman, of
which sho was a member. The floral
ofTorings were many and beautiful,
symbolic of the esteem in which she
was held by the community.
PORTLAND ATTORNEY SPEAKS.
L. D. Mahone, attorney from Port
land, was a visitor here over the
week end, looking after legal busi
ness. Being a man of wide experience
and a student of world affairs, Mr.
Mahone delivered an address on Sun
day evening at the Methodist church
that was very interesting. He spoke
on Monday afternoon at the high
achool and then again Monday eve
ning at the church, where he was
greeted with a fair sited crowd. His
Monday evening address was strict
ly along political lines, though it was
presumed that he would continue his
lina of argument for the business
men along similar lines of the talk
on Sunday evening. Mr. Mahone,
while being well Informed in many
ways, brought nothing new to the
people in his Monday evening meet
ing, as the so-called plain facts and
figures were all threshed out In the
last national political campaign the
country over, and the results of that
election would appear to be conclu
sive proof that as yet the American
people are not ready to follow the
lead of the La Follettos, Brookharts,
et al.

SERIOUS DISEASE
Preventive Measures Difficult and
Precautions Are Necessary to
Prevent Its Spreading.
, By State Board of Health.
The fact that there were four
deaths from meningitis in thia atate
during the past week makei it neces
sary to call the attention of the pub
lic to the infectious nature of this
highly fatal disease. Preventive
measures are' clearly Indicated al
though they arc very difficult to carry
out.
Meningitis has come down to our
time through the centuries like many
of the other Infections but It was not
recognised until 1805, Outbreaks
have been reported almost every year
in the United States. It ia a very
fatal disease as the mortality Is over
60. It was a serious disease in ar
my camps during the World War and
was second only to pneumonia. Men
ingitis has its greatest prevalence in
winter and spring. It is a disease of
children and young adults. The dis
ease is caused by a double round or
ganism which occurs in tissue cells
and is called on this account the dip
lococcus intracellulars meningitidis.
There are other forms of meningitis
but the epidemic form is always caus
ed by this germ.
The germs leave the body with the
discharges from mouth and nose. In
no other disease have carriers been
demonstrated in such great numbers
in proportion to the number of cases.
The disease is transmitted by con
tact with a carrier or with a person
who has the disease. Individuals de
velop into carriers by contact with
carriers and they occur usually when
there is close contact and bad ventil
ation. Carriers can be cleared up by
having plenty of fresh air and avoid
ing overcrowding.
The disease is usually preceded by
chills, depression, headache, pain in
back and limbs, but suddenness of
onset is the most striking featut.
There are a number of types of this
infection but there are certain car
dinal symptoms, fever of sudden on
set, general depression with or with
out pains In the back and neck, draw
ing back of head and delirium or
coma. The treatment of the disease
consists of an early injection of anti
meningococcus serum.
We know something about the cause
of meningitis and we can guard
against this to a certain extent but
there are still many unknown fac
tors. The baseball game played here with
Hardman last Saturday resulted in a
score of 1-14 fn favor of Heppner.
Hon. L. D. Mahone gave an inter
esting and helpful talk to the stu
dents of the 8th grade and high school
last Monday afternoon.
The next baseball game will be
played at Heppner between Lexing
ton and Heppner high schools, next
Saturday.
A scheme for pre-vocationat self
analysis has been worked out and put
in pamphlet form by Mr. Hedrick and
as a result some of the seniors are
busy this week studying their own
peculiar characteristic., to determine
whether they have any vocational pos
sibilities and if so what they are. So
far we have heard no shouts.
The rules of the Oregon History
Contest, sponsored by the school and
the P. T. A. provide that all the pa
pers must be in by April 25. The
present indications are that there will
be a large number of participants.
The high school is planning to give
another high school smoker soon.
The date for primary elections has
been set for May 8, Friday. The reg
ular election wilt be on the 15th, a
week after the primaries.
Students who haven't paid their
student body tax will not be allowed
to vote at either election.
BETHEL CHAPEL NOTES.
Last Sunday morning members and
friends of Bethel Chapel enjoyed a
splendid service held by Rev. Jas. N.
Pendleton, pastor of the Congrega
tional church ef Condon.
Bethel Chapel was moat pleasantly
surprised Sunday morning by a visit
from Mrs. Sorenson, one of its for
mer members. Mrs. Sorenson returned
to her home in Portland early in the
week.
Bethel members spent a very happy
afternoon last Thursday when they
entertained the ladies of both lone
and Lexington Congregational auxil
iaries. Amusement was offered in
various forms, among thein an in
teresting contest involving knowledge
of the Bible. The result was very
gratifying as several had to draw for
the prise. The guests were further
entertained with musical numberB by
Zada Tash, Elna LaunU, Patricia Ma
honey and Marjorie Clark, Master
Daniel Chinn, Mrs. Edw. Chinn, and
Mrs. Cochran. Miss Elizabeth Phelps
gave another of her fine whistling
numbers, after which all enjoyed the
refreshments of the afternoon.
WILL HAVE NEW TRUCK.
John Wightman went to Portland
the past week for the purpose of
purchasing a new truck which he will
install on the milk route for the Al
falfa Lawn Dairy, Since taking over
the work of supplying Hoppner folks
with milk and cream, Mr. Wightman
has been using the milk wagon that
served Wightman Bros, for so long
previous to their going out of the
business several years ago. How
ever, John thinks this conveyance is
a litlte too slow and he will adopt the
more modern way of doing things.
The new truck will arrive from Port
land this week end and be placed on
the route immodintety.

Hay Situation Here
Is Considered Serious
Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
vallis, April 13. The hay situation
in northern Umatilla and Morrow
counties is more serious than is gen
erally supposed, according to G. R.
Hyslop, professor of farm crops. Pro
fessor Hyslop, who recently returned
from a visit to this section, reports
much of the common alfalfa either
killed out entirely or the plants ser
iously weakened. Grimm and other
hardy varieties survived the winter
and are making a satisfactory growth.
.Professor Hyslop also attended the
nay grade hearings held at Hermlston
April 1. Arrangements are under
way to hald a hay grading school at
O. A. C. this summer to train hay In
spectors. Government officials indi
cate they will license no one hut com
petent inspectors.
