HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, Nov. 12, 1925 Subscription $2.00 a Year HI SCH PLAY MAKES BIG Lodges of County Con vened Here Saturday In Large Numbers. PROGRAM ENJOYED MUa Dora Sexton, Assembly Vice President Spoke; Musical Num bers Please; lone Next Year. 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. RED CROSS DRIVE SET.

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 pel Wasco on the latter's eridiron Thanksgiving day in what is expect- ed to be their hardest game, Wasco being conceded a place among the strongest high school teams of the state. Followinir the bounteous reDast prepared under the management of Edward Chmn, genial proprietor of the Elkhorn, fitting tribute was paid the football boys by representative speakers for the business men, called upon by LaVerne Van Marter, toast- master for the occasion. The team, in return, expressed its appreciation for the generous recognition given by the town, and tendered its thanks for the support of local people which they considered has been largely re- sponsible for their success. .

DSTRIC 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: Heppner Lexington E. Merritt RE V. Lane W. Bucknum RT J. Keller J. Thomson RG C. Wilcox E. Doherty C L. McMillan K. Merritt LG O. Eskelson H. Evans LT L. Leathers O. Parker LE H. Sherer C. Sprouls Q B. Gentry P. Aiken F L. Slocum E. Bucknum R W. Rowell L. Schwarx RH C. Harper Heppner high defeated the Ion high school football team Inst Satur day afternoon in a one-sided game on the local field, 35-6. Although Hepp 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, November 5. Mrs. Clark is the daugh 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 ington Railroad and Navigation com pany. The young couple returned from Portland last evening and ex pect to make their home here for a time at least. AN APOLOGY.

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 American Legion, a friend of man years and nn associate with him the board of regents at tho state un versity, gave a short address, an with appropriate rites, conducted by the Blue Lodge of Masons, commi inent was held at the Portland crem torium.

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. u Business, or other business. Why 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. S. R.
