CHILD LABOR AMEND
MENT The reason for the proposed
Amendment to the Federal Con
stitution is that the Supreme
court of the United States has
declared that Congress has no
power to legislate.
The proposed amendment is in
no sense a la .v governing such
matters butnn authorization of
such legislation as Congress may
deem wise.
Neither State or Federal legis
lation has so far attempted to
regulate the labor of children
on the farm or in the home, nor
is such action proposed by the
supporters of the amendment.

lone Towm Team
Meets Defeat
Hcppner Wins by
Margin.
Close
The lone town basketball
tossers were defeated by the
Heppner town team last Satur
day night, on the Heppner floor.
.The score was 24 to 22 which
shows, that the game was inter
esting and exciting to the last.
The score was tied many times
during the game and there was
never more than four points
difference.
At the end of the first half the
score stood 14 to 16 with lone on
the King end but they were un
able to hold the lead and were
nosed out in the last few min-
utes.
It would be hard to find two
more evenly matched teams and
the return game to be played in
lone in the near future should be
interesting to local fans.

The matter of financing the
proposed roads was gone into
quite extensively and it was de
cided that the only way to do
was to vote, another bond issue
and in order to carry a bond
it would be necessary to recog
nize the needs of Morrow
County farmers and make a bond
issue large enough to cover a
large extention to our Market
Road System.
People have begun to realize
the importance of good roads and
if our farmers can be shown
that they are to . get their just
part of road funds it will not be
a difficult matter tn nut h

A resolution was passed askinir

and figures in the matter and
call a meeting of the tax payers
in the near future to get the
matter before the voters.

The man who leaves his machines in the fields is pay

You can cut your machinery cost in half by prolong
ing its lite anq usefulness. You can double the life ot
an implement by putting it under cover as soon as you
are through using it
The cost oLan implement shed to protect $2,000.00
worth of machinery is only a fraction of that sum.
We have many excellent implement shed plans to show
you, an J we have the righ t material to build just the
kind and size building you require. Da nof make the
