For tunately there waa no loaa of life. The waters broke over above the Venturl Garage and rushed down the street, thus dividing the force of the flood that waa coming down the canyon, otherwise there might have been more areioua resulta. Aa it was, practcially all the business houses were flooded, basementa filled, and water to the height of several feet filled the main floors. The telephone office was carried across the street and lodged in front of the bank build ing. This prevented the waters from entering the bank to any considerable extent, and the tipping of the side walk in front of the bank also di verged the water at that point.

Plant were completed for entertaining the Legion at a joint meeting to be held in Bethel Chapel the evening of June first. Legion wivea and Auxiliary husbands are included in the invita tion whether members of either or ganisation or not. Mrs. Arthur McAtee was elected as delegate to the convention at Prine ville, an alternate to be named later. Formal action was taken in request ing that certain hours during the week be designated for women only at the swimming pool. A resolution was passed offering the Legion the aid of the Auxiliary in any possible way during the Endowment Fund and hospital drive. A motion was made and carried that business meetings of the Auxiliary be suspended after June first until September, but that a social meeting be held each month at which tray cloths for Honpital No. 77 will be made. Memorial poppies made by the boyj in Hospital No. 77 will be sold in a booth before and after Memorial ser vices in the Elks hall Memorial Day. The boys in Hospital 77 have made 30,000 poppies. It is only the men receiving no compensation pay from the government who profit by the sales. Many of them are very anxious to make more than they are able and have to be curbed by the committee. They make a few at a time, then have to rest. In buying the poppies you will be giving direct help to these disabled soldiers who are paid a small sum for making them. The profits of the sales are used only for hospital and child welfalre work. Do not Bave your poppies fm year to year and wear them again and again. This does not help the ex-Bervice men and the little children, tho it may show you remember the day and the sac- j rihee made. It is for the ones still paying the price that we make and sell the poppies. Poppies made by these ex-service men all bear the of ficial Legion and Auxiliary label. In buying them you will know you are giving direct help where it is needed.. Oregon Students Win !

WE DK1.IVKH WITHIN CITY LIMITS. This Week By Arthur Brisbaa Okeechobee and Catfish. Where Conners Gets Rich. False Economy. Lucky Japanese Baby. OKEECHOBEE CITY is the new est Florida city. Two years ago men were there catching a few catfish. Now it is a boom town, thanks to S. Davies Warfield, president of the Seabord Air Line, who ran his new straiht-as-an -arrow railroad across Florida to Palm Beach with a station at this point. Now Lake Okeechobee yields one million dollars worth of catfish a year, most of it shipped to Kansas City and St, Louis, where catfish are appreciated as they should be. Tour ists come honking by the thousands and W. J. Conners, who owns the Buffalo Courier and most of the land around here, is getting richer than ever. You will be interested in this latest boom land even out of season. Also in the poor young Seminole Indian wife buried beside the railroad track and in O. P. Lamerson, the ferryman, leaving Florida with his two sons for Columbia, South America, because land here is too dear. 1 When you come to Florida take the Seaboard Air Line, save time and see the western part of Florida as well as the north and south and the east coast. Travel over the high backbone of the peninsula, which travelers us ually miss, with its wonderful Jake region. Also you save many miles by the airline road and help to justify the optimistic courage of Mr. War field, who has rendered the greatest possible service to this state. Merchants and tohers complain that Mr. Coolidge's preaching and prac ticing economy have hurt business. They say, "If President Coolidge says he is having his straw bat of 1922 pressed once more, instead of buying a new one, nobody else will buy a new one." Everybody knows that prosperity for all classes depends on CIRCULA TION of money. If nature decided to save up water and keep it all in the ocean, instead of scatetring it around in rain, crops wouldn't be good. Mon ey spent is to business what rain is to crops. One angry merchant suggests: "To set an example in economy the best plan is not to have an old straw hat reblocked and advertise that. It would be better to lay up the May flower, the expensive pleasure boat such as neither Washington nor Lin coln had, and save enough on coal to buy 100,000 new straw hats." President Coolidge does not rec ommend foolish economy, but wise economy. As for the Mayflower, the country is rich enough to let the President enjoy the fresh air, and is glad to give him whatever he can wisely use As regards spending, the wise man's (Continued on Page Six.) of the United States has en- the American Legion to provide for the thousands of dependent Heppner Circle Entertains Convention for Dist. No. Ten. 100 DELEGATES HERE Two-Days Program Cloeed With Ban qnet and Entertainment on Saturday Evening. Delegates to the number .of about 100 gathered at Heppner for the con vention of the 10th district of the Neighbors of Woodcraft on Friday and Saturday. The sessions of the convention were held at I. O. O. F. hall and concluded at a late hour on Saturday evening. Maple Circle of Heppner was host to the convention and the entire delegation were loud in their praise of the treatment re ceived, and the generous hospitality that was theirs to enjoy, both at the hands of the local membership and of the community. Heppner found a warm place in the hearts of all of the delegates present. In fine, it can be said that this was one of the; best conventions the 10th district has yet held, and much of the success of the meeting is due to the manner in which the membership of Maple Cilcle responded to their obligations as entertainers. The opening of the sessions oc curred at 10 o'clock Friday morning, at which time C. L. Sweek, member of j the city council, on behalf of the city, i del;?ered an appropriate address of welcome. It was a fine speech and made all the visitors feel that they were right at home in the city, and that there waa nothing so good but would be extended them for the ask ing. The only grand officer present was Mrs. Anna S. Mardall, grand manager. The convention was called to order by District Gurdian Neighbor Ida Ol son of Pendleton, who presided in an efficient manner over the proceedings of the two days. Much business was attended to and on Saturday after noon the election of officers for 1927 and the choosing of place of meeting resulted as follows: P. G. N., N. Pieper of Baker; G. N., Clara Orte nof La Grande; Adviser, Rose Mansfield of Athena; Clerk, El eanor Van Vleet of Bend; Banker, Mary Kinsley of Condon; Magician, Rose Richardson of Heppner; At tendant, Neighbor Hall of Pendleton; I. S., Selma Brown of Canyon City; O. S., Neighbor Yeske of La Grande; C. of G., Neighbor Ash of Bend; Man agers, Neighbors Thomas of Pendle ton, LieuaHen of Weston and Taylor of Baker; grand representatives for Dist. 10, Neighbors Ida Olson of Pen dleton, Kate Swindig of heupner and Hollie King of Baker. Bend as cho sen as the meeting place for the con vention of 1927. The drill team of tho Pendleton circle put on the floor work nnd also assisted with the initiation of a nerv member into Maple circle. There was no contest between drill teana. On Saturday evening at there was a magnificent banquet served to the members of the convention and Maple circle and following this was a short entertainment of music, reci tations and readings, and then the closing session of the convention. Many of the delegates departed by stage Saturday night that they might be able to catch the night train out of Arlington, but others did not leave until Sunday. On behalf of the Heppner people we can say that they were delighted to entertain this fine body of women, and hope that it may not be many years hence till the district conven tion of the Neighbors of Woodcraft will come this way again. It may be stated in passing that Heppner carried off the banner for .the largest increase made in member ship in the intensive drive just clos ed, and Maple circle is fast coming to the front as one of the leaders in thia district The new tenis court is now com pleted and quite a number-have joined the culb and paid in their dues. More are desired, however, and we are in formed by Frank Harwood that the membership roll is at his place of business, where all interested may call and join by paying their dues. There is promise of 'considerable in terest in thia popular recreation this season. Mrs. Anna Spencer was here over last evening, driving up from Arling ton. She was on the way to Prairie City, Ore., where she expects to re side for the summer at least, as housekeeper in the home of Dr. Fell. She has been visiting in The Dalles and Portland for the last three weeks. George McDuffee and S. P. Devin, delegates from Willow Lodge No. 66. I. O. O. F., and Mrs. John Wightman and Mrs. Olive Frye, delegates from Snnsouci Rebekah lodge to the grand lodges in session at Ashland this week, departed on Sunday to drive through in the McDuffee car. A license to wed was issued at the office of Clerk Anderson on Saturday to Miss Susan May Allstott and Mr. John Archie Padberg, young people of this county. Mr. and Mrs. Garnet Barratt are the proud parents of a 10-pound boy, born to them on May 18th. Mother and child are reported to be doing fine. Mrs. Elica Fields, Mrs. Reta Creset of Baker, Mrs. Chas. Brown and Mrs. Ruth Solinger of Canyon City, who were delegates attending the Wood craft convention in Heppner, were honor guests at a dinner party ten dered them on Friday evening at the home of Mrs. Lillian Cochran. Mrs. Edna Slocum of Portland has been spending the week at Heppner, looking after her property interests here and enjoying a visit with many old-time friends. PETITIONS FOR ROAD ELECTION READY SOON Important Issue to Come Up For Action; Tentative Plan for Use of Funds Given. The matter of preparing the papers in the coming road bond issue, was referred to in last week's paper, in which it was noted that the technical part of the program had been placed in the hands of representatives of a leading bond house of Portland, and that Messrs. Woodson A Sweek would look after the legal end of the mat ter for the county court here. We are informed by Mr. Woodson that the petitions calling for the election are being prepared and should soon b? in the hands of circulators. In this connection the County Court would appreciate getting just as heavy a per cent age of the voters' names on the lists as possible; Judge Benge hopes that it may be 25 per cent or more of the registered voting strength of the county. While there has been no permanent fixing of the plan of distribution of the fundB in case the election is fa vorable, the county court have been at work on the matter, and have pre pared the following tentative arrange ment with a view to getting the mon ey placed where it will do the great est good to the entire county. This plan calls for the use of the greater part of the funds in promoting the market road program of the county, and careful study of the following will shew that this is the intention. This plan is suggestive, only, and be fore final action is taken may be al tered in some instances: Keck Canyon, market road $10,000 Fuller Canyon, market road 12,000 Stingle Canyon, market rd. 10,000 Jordan-Rhea Creek, mar ket road 30,000 McNabb, west, market rd. 18,000 Willow Creek, market road 20,000 Ione-Boardman, market rd. 66,000 Lexington, south, market road 24,000 Morgan, east and west, market road 30,000 lone-Gooseberry, market road . 40,000 Upper Eight Mile, from Rhea Creek to County line, market road 40,000 Butter Creek, Lena to Bar tholomew's market road 15,000 Heppner-Spray market rd. 75,000 Jones Hill-Vinson, O.-W. - Highway 77,000 Lexington-Jarmon Market ' Road 75,000 Upper Rhea Creek, from the Crocket Kirk place up T 18,000 Graduates Listen to Baccalaureate Sermon A large congregation of the people of the city gathered at the Christian church on Sunday evening to listen to the baccalaureate sermon delivered by Rev. W. O. Livingstone of Hood River. Mr. Livingstone was at his best and gave the graduates and the entire audience a discourse that they greatly appreciated. The church was nicely decorated with cut flowers and the program was carried out as fol lows : Processional DeKoven High School Chorus Invocation Rev. E. C. Alford The Circuit Rider Cecil Teague High School Chorus Hark, Hark, My Soul Shelley Marjorie Clark, Edna Vaughn Sermon Rev. W. O. Livingstone Hymn, Portuguese Congregation Benediction Rev. E. C. Alford The Judge's Testimony. Oregon Journal. " Judge Jacob Kanzler presdies over the juvenile court in Portland. He says that 95 of every 100 children brought before him for misdemean ors and crimes wholly lack religious training. Seventy-five of every 100 ore the children of divorced parents. He says that when children accused of delinquency are brought before him he finds uniformly that the par ents are the real delinquents. The routine questions put to boy or girl include this one: "Do you go to church or Sunday School?" The answer nearly always it, "No." Pressed for details, the child some times answers, "I used to go, but I quit two or three years ago." When the history sheet on file in the court is consulted it is almost invariably shown that as the youngster stopped going to Sunday school he began do ing the things that brought him to the attention of the juvenile court. From these experiences Judge Kanz ler concludes: "When the training of a child in the right direction stops he goes the wrong way. "The child not controlled by hame or religious influence is nearly al ways controlled by harmful outside influence. "When parents and children say goodbye to the church we meet in court. ( "So often nri the Da re tits of de linquent children divorced that the rerord card of the iuvenilo court has one space for the address of the moth er, another for the address ot the father. The noor Rule delinouent kiddies are just the waste by-product of the divorce mill. "Vacant pew, empty Sunday school, broken home, full court." If you want to know why the age of crime has dropped from 28 to 18 years, why three-fourths of Ameri ca's crime is committed by youths less than 21, look to the judge's tes timony that U5 out of every 100 chil dren before him have no religious training, and that 75 of every W are the children of divorced parents. Look further to the testimony of the International Sunday School Council of Religious Education, that seven of every 10 American children IT E EXT WEEK Solicitation Will End Me morial Day ; C. L Sweek at Head of Campaign. HEPPNER QUOTA $300 Opportunity Will Be Given People to Subscribe Before Drive Starts; More Endorsed by Citizens. With a quota set at $300. the local drive for the American Legion En dowment Fund and the Doernbecker Memorial hospital maintenance fund is under way and will end Memorial Day. C. L. Sweek has acepted the chairmanship of the Heppner organ ization, and under his direction it is expected that the quota will be reached in a short time. He will be assisted by other prominent citizens of the city, a great many of whom have heartily endorsed the move. While the time set for the drive is the week of May 25-30, local peo ple will be given the opportunity to make their subscriptions before that time. Arrangements have been made to place subscription cards at the following places: Gilliam k Bisbee, First National Bank, McAtee A Aiken. The Gazette-Timea, Cohn Auto Co., and Dr. F. E. Farrior. It is urged that local people make their subscrip tions at one of these places before the 25th, those handling the drive de siring if possible to have the entire amount subscribed in this manner, making an intensive solicitation cam paign unnecessary. The proposition is indeed a worthy one, and one in which every thinking person will desire to have a part. Al though years have passed since the signing of the armistice and the ces sation of hostilities, yet for thousands of the men who took part in the gigantic struggle the war is not yet ended, and because of the few months they spent in France they have had six years in hell. To these men the nation owes a debt that can never be paid, and if by contributing a few dollars, even though the contribution would mean a temporary sacrifice, their condition can be improved it would seem that the people of the na tion would willingly respond. The disabled veterans present a problem which can be solved by the provision of the proper medical and hospital care. But the orphans of deceased veterans, and the children of those veterans who through disabilities are unable to provide a home for their families, a more complex problem is presented. These need not only tem porary care; they need homes. And to the working out of this the Amer ican Legion is bending every effort. It was for this purpose that the En dowment Fund was inaugurated, and the plans adopted will give homes and home influence to every orphan needing them. There are many thous ands of such orphans in the country new and their number is :ncr3Mng rapidly The proper care and atttn- tion now will make good, useful, pro ductive citizens of those who without aid might well become expensive charges upon the people years hence. In Oregon the Endowment Fund drive is linked with the drive to raise the first year's maintenance fund for the Doernbecker hospital, the raising of which was guaranteed by the Le gion of the state. This found will amount to $60,000. The Doernbecker hospital will treat all children need ing hospital care whether or not the child's parents are able to pay for such treatment. It will be an institu tion of great usefulness and is much needed now. Thus, half of the quota raised here will be kept in the state to be used in helping our own people. The drive is being backed by the leading citizens of the town, the state and the nation, and there is no ques tion but that Heppner will respond quickly and generously. Heppner Post No. 87 has guaranteed the raising of Heppner's quota, and are backing the move as a unit and individually. They are asking noth ing for themselves nor for the Amer ican Legion; but are putting before the people of the country the case of all disabled veterans and all orphans of deceased veterans whether they have Legion connections or not.
