Special features of the days' pro gram will include a 21-round boxing card, open air exercises, a ball game between Condon and Arlington, par ade, sports, races, dancing, bucking contest and many special stunts and amusements. A dozen special committees are at work on the various features of the program, details of which will be an nounced as soon as possible.

Mc Men am in in their suits against the John Day Irrigation District, and the directors of the dis trict on a basis of $6,000; Finn agree ing to take $3500 for his part and McMenamin $2500, so we are informed by parties who had been called to Portland as witnesses in the suit. Finn had sued the district for $10, 000, and then McMenamin entered a like suit, the question being the mat ter of attorneys' fees claimed by these parties for services rendered in helping fight the battles of the dis trict in some suits a few years back, wherein Finn was engaged as assist ant to McMenamin. Other settle ments of claims against the district are pending, notably one for $60,000 of Engineer Lewis, and a considerable claim of F. R. Brown of this city. Just what will ultimately be the out come of the project is at this time problematical; some desire to have the directors settle up the affairs, pay the bills and dissolve the dis trict, while others do not favor this action, maintaining that it is only sensible business to maintain the or ganization and hold the ground al ready gained, and this latter propo sition is doubtless the best There should be an election of officer a at the proper time and the district placed in, position to care for past and future bills and get in shape to put a stop to continual litigation. Heppner People Have Accident At The Dalles Writing to friends here, Mrs. Lena Snell Shurte, who accompanied Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ayers on a trip to Portladn Thursday last, states that the Ayers car met with an accident near The Dalles and the machine was badly wrecked. Mr. and Mrs. Ayers left Heppner on Thursday morning and on nearing The Dalles they were run into by a heavy car from La Grande. Mr. and Mrs. Ayers were badly bruised up about the head and shoulders and Mrs. Shurte was so seriously hurt that she was taken to the hospital at The Dalles where first aid was ren dered and the party then went on to Portland. The accident was report ed as a head-on collision and the wonder is that the occupants of the Ayers car were not more seriously in jured by the compact with the heavy machine. No bones were broken. IN APPRECIATION. I wish to assume personally the re sponsibility of an apology in behalf of Mrs, C. E. Woodson, upon whom rented the responsibility of directing the Daily Vacation Bible School just closed. In the closing exercises held in the Christian church last Sunday night, mention was made by this di rector of the service of everyone who had rendered such during the session, but there seemed to be no one "auth orised" to make mention of her work. I know I voice the sentiment of both the children and the people of the community in extending to Mrs. Woodson my appreciation and in dorsement for her efficient and pains taking leadership. E. C.

In his adress to the state Grange, State Grange Master George Parmi ter urged the farmers of Oregon to co-operate in the same way that busi nesbfeeads organize and pull togeth er. He gave figures to prove that the farmers get the worst of it in the difference in cost of transportation of farm products and manufactured articles. He said when the jobber, wholesaler, retailer and railraods had taken their share from farm products there was no profit left for the farm er. He urged organization and that oganization demand the same tariff protection other industries get, as well as the same railroad rates. On the Job at Ninety-Six. Easterners often state that fruit trees are short lived on the Pacific coast. At Vancouver, Wash., an apple tree that bloomed this spring was grown from seed brought from Lon don in 1826, and has been bearing fruit for 96 years. Portland Some Wheat Town. Portland shipped one-third of all the wheat exported from this coun try last year. This will give the peo ple some idea of the importance of the milling companies and the state Grain Department of Portland. When there is a normal grain crop an im mense business is done. p While Oregon Quits. There are now 32,000 farmers co-operating, owning their own elevators, and combining their sales in pools in the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Eleva tors in Canada. This organization started in a small way and steadily and carefully built up, while Oregon started in a large way, in the North west Wheat Growers, and steadily wei't out of business. The U. 3. can warn a lot from Canada in the way of successful co-operation. A Tip to Potato Growers. , When you dig your potatoes follow close in grading and picking them up. On cool, cloudy days it does not hurt to leave them, but on hot, sunshiny days an hour or two exposure to the blistering sun is likely to cost you a lot of money and grief, for the po tatoes will scald and sunburn and when sacked for shipment or storage they will begin to rot in a few days and rot the others with which they come in contact. If left on the track for a few days a rotting smell will warn buyers of their condition. Dont let them be exposed to the hot sun. What Inspection Does. Tre Minnesota Director of Markets says that before Federal-State inspec tion 25 of the butter of that state scored 92, but since nispection 70 of the butter now scores 92. This is direct proof that inspection does im prove the grade by making produc ers take more pains. Workmen are busy placing a new fire escape on Hotel Heppner this week.

A Or,Vi Oregon Has Many Bees But Imports Much Honey Although Oregon has 100,000 colon ies of bees, 10,000 beekeepers, and $1,500,000 invested in bees and bee keeping equipment, many carloads of honey are imported into the state an nually. The state is capable of sup plying enough honey to meet the de mands of immediate consumption and still have enough remaining to sup plant all of the syrup and much of the sugar now used in the state. Oregon has more than 200,000 acres of alfalfa and at least as much fire weed. With a substantial increase in the acreage of clover and Hungar ian vetch in the Willamette valley and Douglas county, the state could pro vide bee pasture for at least 500,000 colonies. Advocates of increased production are making special effort to locate prospective beekeepers in the most desirable but unoccupied places. A better understand ng of the weather, soil, and marketing in particular lo calities will further successful bee keeping. The annual loss from Amer ican foul brood is estimated at ap proximately $25,000. This disease can be controlled or eliminated en tirely from most sections by using the area clean-up method, combined with adequate follow-up inspection, is the word sent ou tfrom 0. A. C. Heavy Wind Visits Here Sunday P. M. For several days the past week the weather haa been quite warm, and on Saturday and Sunday this section was threatened with electric storms, but the result was a heavy wind on Sunday evening that materially cooled down the heat but dissipated all prospects of rain. No damage is reported in this vi . ... cinity, but there was a heavy blow in the timber belt, and south of Parkers Mill in the vicinity of Wall creek there was a cloud burst of consider- able proportions and the bridge across Wall creek was washed out. Hail also came down pretty heavily in some sections but no serious damage from this Bource is reported, aa the most of the hail fell in the timber belt. STANFIELD RESIGNS FROM BANK. R. B.

Coxon, MANY WAYS FOR PREVENTING TY PHOID AVAILABLE Greatest Danger of Infection Is During Vacations and While on Camping Trips. State Board of Health. Typhoid fever can be prevented in number of ways most of them good. Sin;; the disease is caused by swallowing the germs, anything that will kill them in what we eat or drink is effective. Since the germs enter food and drink by contamina tion with the waste i of people who excrete typhoid germs, anything that keeps these wastes from coming into contact with food and drink will pre vent the disease. These means are employed when ever sufficient supervision can be giv en, as in towns with active health departments. The water supply is carefully watched, and is purified if necessary. Dairies are kept under control, and milk is usually pasteur ized to make sure it is safe. Food handlers are examined to see that they are not typhoid-carriere, or peo ple who, having had the disease, still excrete the germs, which are sure to infect the food which they handle. All these methods are good, and in urban communities keep the typhoid cases down to a very low level. When we travel around, however, we are much more apt to come into contact with typhoid germs. The spring that we camp by may be polluted; the far mer who sells as our milk may be excreting typhoid germs, and include a few billions of them gratia per quart, kven at home we may run across a restaurant where an undis covered carrier is employed as cook. What can we do under these circum stances? There ia another way be sides avoiding the germs: by taking the fight to the enemy and strength ening our bodies against the germ, so that we may not develop the dis ease even if it gets in. A person who gets typhoid fever de velops resisting power to the germ. If he didn't, he'd never get well. This resisting power stays on for some years, and keeps him from getting ty phoid fever again during that time, even tb,o he should swallow the germs. It's the same sort of immunity that is produced by many other diseases, the body, however, does not distin guish between live and dead germs, when it starts fighting. In other words, it will fight dead germs, and thereby develop its resisting power, just as it would live ones. The dead ones, tbo, cannot multiply and pro duce typhoid fever. We take advant age of this habit of the body by in jecting dead typhoid bacilli, under the skin. Thereby we fool our bodies in to thinking that they have live ones to fight, and train them to be able to resist live ones when they do meet them. The fight of the body against the dead germs sometimes produces a little fever, but the great comfort of knowing we are protected against typhoid eaily makes up for that. This Typhoid "vaccination" is valuable at all times, but especially so when we contemplate a camping trip. If we take it every three years, we keep ourselves protoected against all or dinary chances of getting the disease. Typhoid vaccination was mainly re sponsible for the great drop in th number of cases from the Spanish American to the late World War, with about two hundred cases per one thousand soldiers annually in the former and one-third case per thous and per year in the latter.

By Arthur Brabant) "Something Wrong," Gary Flying, Diving, a New Era Ford's New Plan Rain, Corn, Price Judge Gary says there ia something wrong with business conditions, and the something is LACK OF CON FIDENCE, "the abnormal, unneces sary and TIMID, ill poised mental attitude of managers, including our selves. That's as sound as a steel ingot. Our troubles are mental. Put a plank six inches wide on the ground, and of a hundred people, every one will walk the length of it without fear of falling. Put the same plank fifty feet in the air, and two in a hundred, perhaps, will be able to walk it. Put your plank up two hundred feet, and not one in a thousand will try to cross It. Yet, leaving out fear, it Is as easy to walk such a plank a thousand feet up as it is fiat on tne ground. The height of our national prosper ity makes some people dizzy. This is a new age, and the things we do would have surprised not only our grandfathers, but ourselves a few years back. Young gentlemen studying at An napolis are told that hereafter an of ficer and a gentleman must know how to fly. And out in the Pacific Ocean, down among the coral lanes, near the Gal apagos Islands, scientists, with div ing helmets on their heads, their otherwise naked bodies well oiled, are sitting under the water, studying the fish that come, wide-eyed, to study the men. For the first time in his several hundred thousand years of existence on this planet, man can truly say the earth is his and the fullness thereof. He goes up into the clouds and down into the ocean. With such wonders happening so rapidly, who knows but men may sud denly find a way to live on this earth without cutting each others' throats in war. President Coolidge, it is said, will cut twenty-five millions a year from the cost of the United States army a good idea. Soldiers marching over the ground in future war from the air will be about as useful as so many rabbits when eagles attack them. The President's economy will be twice as valuable if he will arrange to spend the twenty-five millions cut from the army on the building of more flying machines. Henry Ford will use United States ships, if he gets them, to take cars South and around into the Gulf of Mexico and bring fruit and veget ables back to the north. That programme wou'.d be welcom ed by millions. It would help to solve one problem of distribution and de velop the great producing regions of the south as they should be developed. Messrs. Fall, Doheny and Sinclair have been re-indicted for conspiracy by a Grand Jury in the District of Columbia. If you find anybody anx ious to bet that Mr. Fall will go to jail for selling the people's oil lands and taking secret payment for the sale, TAKE THE BET. We don't jail the really big criminals in this coun try. Little criminals, yes. It's a dangerous country for them, if they 're caught. It has been raining in the corn belt and that has cheered the farmers. The corn crop suffered for lack of rain. Immediately the price of corn fell more than S cents a bushel, Dsceirber corn dropping to 93 cent. The weather does something to cheer up the farmer, and then the grain spec ulators to cheer him DOWN again. At Yucatpa, California, all mem bers of the First Methodist Church witnessed the end of a Bible-reading marathon. It was a noble reading, all out loud, every word distinctly pronounced. The pastor, Rev. R. D. Raley, stayed awake and read or listened through out the 691 hours. More deliberate reading, especially of Job and Isaiah, would be prefer able. But any Bible reading U bet ter than none. In Thibet you can give a few cop pers to a pagan priest with his pray er mill. You go your way comforted, he grinds out 10,000 prayers for you on his little mill. Those prayers are believed to do good, although verbal praying from the heart may be bet ter.
