Arabella Washington didn't believe
in football, asserting it was a gamb
ling game. When asked why she
thought it a gambling game, she re
plied: "In the first place, befo' the game
starts the coaches flip a coin to see
who receives the first quarter. Then
the other side tries to get It back,
case I heard em yell, 'get that quar
ter back.' And then sometimes they
bet mo', 'case they yell, 'get that half
back'. No suh, you cain't make me
believe in a game where boys get all
busted up for two bits."
inis was just one of the many
laughs in the play, "Hold That Line
Jimmy," at the Star theater Monday
night, produced by a cast selected
from the senior class of Heppner
high school. Arabella Washington,
the negro housekeeper who made the
above statement, was very cleverly
portrayed by Margaret Prophet.
The plot hinged on a situation con
fronting Jimmy Graham, president of
Crayton college, and all the scenes
were set In his office. Graham, suf
fering an inferiority complex, had
been so influenced by the board of
directors that he found himself run
ning the college just the opposite
of the way he believed It should be
run. When Jerry Travis, energetic
salesman and old friend of Jimmy's
called, Jimmy told him his troubles,
and asked Jerry to take his case in
hand. This Jerry agreed to do. Jim
my's shyness was soon evidenced when
Jasper Allen, chairman of the board,
and his niece, Shirley Allen, paid him
a visit. It soon developed that Jas
per Allen was plotting to unseat Jim
my that he might become president
of Crayton himself. Through lying
to his niece she also became intrigued
in the plot, but shs fell in love with
Jimmy at the same time. '
Jimmy's courage to fight for hi
rights was bolstered by hearing the
college yell, "Hold that line, hold
that line; fight, fight, fight." Several
students, learning of Jimmy's predic
ament through Arabella, loyal to her
master to the last ditch, also became
enlisted to fight for him. These were
Flossie, the laziest girl in college
Marjie, the most energetic girl in
school, and Chubby, captain of the
football team and very much in love
with Marjie. After a bitter fight,
election day and also the day of the
biggest game of the season arrived
and the plot was resolved into a hap
py ending. Jimmy downed the in
feriority complex, kept his position
and won Shirley Allen. Chubby and
Marjie mads up for keeps, after a
series of spats throughout the play.
and Jasper Allen was shown up as a
blackguard and a villain.
The cast, chosen by Miss Denn and
Mr. Smith who coached the play, were
well adapted to their parts. James
Thomson in the lead role of Jimmy,
had a very difficult and heavy part
which he interpreted very much to
the satisfaction of the audience. Ara
bella Washington, played by MargBret
Prophet, carried the weight of the
comedy element, and Miss Prophet
continually brought the house down
with her version. Crocket Sprout
needed only to act natural to brin
out the part of Jerry Travis to nea
perfection. As the laziest girl
college Irene Lovgren made Flossl
a very real personage, and her ca
pacity for chocolate creams was in
, deed a revelation, while Velma Fell
as Marjie was energetic enough to
satisfy the most critical. John Tur-
ner as Jasper Allen, was villainou
to the extreme, and Nellie Babcock as
his niece, made a very sweet sweet
heart. '
The high school orchestra filled in
the time before the curtain and be
tween acts with several pleasing se
lections. A full house witnessed the
production.

Receives Recognition for
Successful Season.
Heppner high school football team
was complimented with a luncheon
by Heppner business men at the Eik
horn restaurant last evening in honor
of the team's successful season near
ly completed. The occasion came as
a fitting climax to the day of what is
considered Heppner's biggest game,
that with Lexington, from which the
locals emerged victorious, 18-0. Only
one more game remains to complete
Heppner's schedule. The team will

After playing their second scoreless

ave arranged to play a third game
on the Round-Up field at Pendleton

Mrs. Chester Darbee
Answers Death's Gill
Coming as a shock to the many
friends of the family in Heppner was
the announcement on Thursday after
noon last of the sudden death of Mrs.
Chester A. Darbee of this city. Death
came to Mrs. Darbee following an
operation at the Heppner Surgical
hospital for a trouble of long stand
ing, rand from which she was too
weak physically to rally. The opera
tion had been completed quite suc
cessfully and her physician was hope
ful that all would be well, when a
hemorrhage occurred and she passed
in a very few minutes.
Funeral services were held from
the Episcopal church, of which she
was an active member, at ten o'clock
on Friday morning, Archdeacon
Creasey officiating. The remains
were then taken to Portland and com
mitment services held at the crema
torium. Mrs. Darbee is survived by her
husband, C. A. Darbee, and one daugh
ter, Mrs. Ray Rogers of Redmond,
Oregon. ' She was a woman who had
greatly endeared herself to the peo
ple of Heppner, and the years she
had resided here made for her many
close friendships. Being talented as
a singer, her services were often re
quired at functions of all kinds, and
she was ever responsive, gladly doing
her part. She had been leader of the
choir at the Episcopal church for a
number of years, yet, when not need
ed there, she was always ready to
help with the music in the other
churches. They all loved Mrs. Dar
bee, and in her departure the com
munity has sustained a distinct loss.
Lexington and lone Taken Into Camp
In Scrappy Grid Bouts Yester
day and Last Saturday.
For the first time in three years
Heppner high school defeated Lex
ington high in football yesterday af
ternoon on the Lexington field. But
yesterday Heppner retaliated her de
feats in a thorough manner, shutting
out the Wheat City lads 1.8-0. The
game was played before a large crowd
of Heppner and Lexington fans, the
crowd being exceptionally large be
cause of its being a holiday.
Though Heppner showed herself
the superior throughout the game,
she was forced to fight as she hasn't
had to fight before this season, the
light, scrappy Lexington team mak
ing themselves obnoxious to the ex
treme in throwing themselves in the
way of the Heppner attack. The
wind was blowing a gale causing more
breaks than ordinary, of which both
teams took their share, with Hepp
ner getting a possible edge.
The kicking of both Aiken for
Heppner and Gentry for Lexington
was exceptionally good, Aiken having
a little the edge which was largely
overcome by Gentry's good returns
from the safety position. Gentry
made larger gains on returns than
did Sprouls, Heppner's safety. As
usual this season the long runs of
Aiken were special thrillers for the
spectators. One of these, a 75-yard
run, netted Heppner's first touch
down. Schwarz and Sprouls also
made some nice gains for Heppner.
Very few passes were attempted, and
only one completed, that by Lexing
ton for 20 yards. Two Lexington
passes were intercepted, one by
Doherty and one by Aiken who raced
15 yards for a touchdown. The other
Heppner touchdown was made on
straight football.
The line-up was:

day afternoon in a one-sided game on

ner had things pretty much her own
way, the lone lads showed signs of
brilliancy on several occasions, an
succeeded in slipping over a touch
down on a clever trick play.
Clark-Farley Nuptials
Solemnized at Portland
Coming as a pleasant surprise to
their many Heppner friends wns the
marriage of Miss Mary Farley and
Clay W. Clark, both young people of
this city, in Portland last Thursday,

ter of Mr. and Mrs. James Farley and
a popular member of Heppr.er's
younger set, being a former student
of Heppner high school. Mr. Clark
has been located here for more than
two years, holding a position with
the local office of the Oregon-Wash

pany. The young couple returned

pect to make their home here for a
time at least.

Six Awards Given Morrow Wheat En
tries at Northwest Hay and Grain
Show in Portland Last Week.
Morrow county entries in the
Northwest Hay and Grain Show held
in Portland last week won six pre
miums in competition with grain from
Montana, Washington, Idaho and Ore
gon. Considering the quality of the
crop this year in Morrow county this
thought to be an exceptionally
good record. ,
The awards as reported by County
Agent Morse for this county were as
follows: Ida Peterson, lone, tenth on
White Club; J. N. Batty, Hardman,
fourth on Hard Red Spring; Gene
Gray, Lexington, fourth on Hard Red
Winter; Ray Wright, Hardman, fifth
on Hard Red Winter; R. A. Thomp
son, Heppner, first on Fortyfold, and
Floyd Adams, Hardman, second on
Fortyfold.
Next year with the continuance of
the county grain show it is believed
that Morrow county can make a much
better showing and carry off a larger
share of the ribbons than ever before.
Premium money distributed to the
winners this year amounted to forty
dollars.
CLINTON EMMET WOODSON.
The subject of this sketch was born
at Fincastle, Virginia, on October
12, 1870, and died in Portland, Ore
gon, Novembre 2, 1925, aged 55 years
and 20 days. Death followed an ill
ness of more than a year, durine
wnicn he suffered much, but uncom
plainingly. At the age of 12, Mr. Woodson was
left an orphan and at the aee of 16
he came to Oregon and for manv
years made his home in Clackamas
county where he worked for various
people, but much of the time on the
farm of George J. Currin, his efforts
being directed toward the gaining of
sufficient means whereby he might at
tend school and secure an education.
Entering the University of Oregon,
he worked his way .through that in
stitution and received his B. A. de
gree in 1897. Following this, Mr.
Woodson taught for two years in the
university as instructor in historv,
He took the law examination in 1900
and prai. sed for two years at Cor
vallis, then came to Heppner, where
he located in the fall of 1902.
The Heppner flood occurred in June.
1903, and Mr. Woodson's office was
made the headquarters for the relief
committee, he acting as secretary for
that committee and Tendering a ser
vice that could not be computed in
dollars and cents.
He was married June 8, 1905, to Ida
B. Roe of Eugene, who was a student
with him in the university and grad
uated in the same class. Mrs. Wood
son was also an instructor in the uni
versity for 8 years previous to her
marriage. To them two daughters
were born, Margaret, aged 19, and
Bernice, aged 17, both of whom are
receiving their education at the uni
versity from which their parents
graduated.
In his chosen profession Mr. Wood
son stood high and his nearly 25
years in Heppner resulted in the
building up of a very lucrative prac
tice. He was aggressive in matters
pertaining to Business, and in any
public capacity where he was called
to act, was always faithful to duty.
A lover of home, he enjoyed his fam
ily life and had gathered about him
much of the comforts of this life in
the beautiful home that was his pride
Unassuming, not given to display, yet
keenly interested in all thnt pertained
to the best interests of this commun
ity, he was a factor in the welfare o
the city and county that will be great
ly missed.
In October, 1915, Mr. Woodson
formed a partnership with Calvin L.
Sweek, and since that date the firm
of Woodson & Sweek has been prom
inent here. Mr. Sweek will succeed
to the business.
Funeral services, held at the Fin
ley ohnpel in Portland on Wednesday
Nov. 4th, were simple, and in keeping
with the desires of the deceased. Col,
W. L. Gilbert, chr.p'.air. of tie Orego

Cotton growers are discouraeed.
and their complaints are just, against
Government helping with its reports
to put down cotton prices.
Governmental crop reports an-
ouncing gigantic production do
MORE than give information to
buyers.
The Government announces that so
many million bales more than usual
ill be offered for sale. That is eaui-
valent to saying "Don't be in any
urry to buy. You'll eet it cheaper
later on."
The Government doesn't print such
reports concerning the steel business.

s it necessary to broadcast to the
world, at public expense, reports of
which the result is to injure Ameri
can cotton growers?
Sir Richard Redmayne, who under
stands oil, says the world's supply
will be exhausted in one hundred
years, and the supply of the United
States in twenty-five years. That is
largely guesswork, of course. No
body knows how much oil is hidden
underground, in the lands along the
Pacific, up in the Arctic, in Mexico
nd elsewhere.
Don't let Sir Richard's predictions
hurry you into buying poor oil stocks
n any case. The work of harnessing
the tides, already begun in England
and in Maine, and later direct use of
the power of the sun will make power
cheaper than it ever was.
Some Edison of the future will in
vent an electric battery, light in
weight, carrying power sufficient to
drive an automobile or an airplane
across the Continent.
Such a discovery. If made now.
would make oil from the ground as
unimportant in power production as
whale oil now is in the production of
light.
Since Yale University started 224
years ago, books in tho library have
doubled in number every twenty
ears. The total now is 1,390,000.
and every year 50,000 books are add
ed, others being put In storage to
make room.
This proves that organization and
condensation are lacking in educa
tion. Buckle is said to have read 60,
000 books. Voltaire apologized for
his "small" library of 6.000 volumes,
each with notes In Voltaire's fine
handwriting. Catherine of Russia
bought the library, and everything
else in Voltaire's house.
What is needed is not an impossi
ble library of 1,390.000 books, but
rather 100 easentiul books, boiled
down into ten volumes, with an edu
cation in those ten volumes. The
thing could be done.

dnr.e district, is over from Ukinh this
