HEPPNER SPRAY ROAD
BE
Commissioner Bleakman
, Convinced That Now
. Is Time to Act.
WANTS COOPERATION
Hardman Man Thinks Heppner Should
Assist Him at December Meeting
of State Highway Commission.
Editor Gazette Times:
Facing the possibility of being ac
cused of crankiness on the question
of the Heppner-Spray road, I am ven
turing again to call attention to the
importance of getting prompt action
on thia matter.
To the people of my community, the
completion of the Heppner-Hardman
market road is of primary importance,
and thia is a part of the link that will
ultimately connect us up with the
John Day highway near Spray. There
fore It seems proper to keep ham
mering away at one of the moBt im
portant pieces of highway construc
tion now before the people of Mor
row county.
It has been my privilege to attend
a number of meetings of the state
highway commission and to talk with
the commissioners and the men in
charge of the Bureau of Public Roads
of the forest service concerning the
connection between Hardman and
Spray. The last time I was down at
Portland, which was at the meeting
of the state highway commission
when the question of completion of
the Lena-Vinson gap in the O.-W.
highway was before them, I took oc
casion to call the commission's at
tention to the fact that I was not
through with them yet, although they
intimated that the completion of the
Oregon-Washington highway would
now possibly be all that Morrow coun
ty would ask for, I frankly stated to
Mr. Duby and the other members that
it was not all; that I wanted some
action' on this Heppner-Spray road
looking to getting it on the map. The
commissioners then" asked that I visit
the forest office and se what they
had to aay. I did this and made
plain to them that Morrow county
had already spent $76,000 on this
road leading out from Heppner; 11
miles are now hard surfaced and four
miles more graded. I thought it
time for some cooperation that the
road might be put on the map and
then the work of building be carried
on to completion just as rapidly as
possible. Phil Dater, engineer in
charge of this work for the forest
service seemed agreeable to this, and
the result was that an arrangement
has been made for the meeting of the
forest officials with the state high
way commission at their December
meeting, when it is possible some
very definite steps for getting this
road on the map will be taken
I am desirous of attending this
meeting, and expect to do so, with the
Idea in mind of pushing the mntter
just as hard as possible. I want
some assistance, and 1 think it is up
to the commercial club and business
interests of Heppner to also have a
delegation there. I have noted that
those counties getting what they
want from the highway commission
for other parts of the state, are al
ways on hand with a good delegation
of representative business men, and
it has a good effect. Just tho date
of this meeting I can not give at Iris
time, but will make this known Just
as soon as I can, and in ample time
for the Heppner business men to get
together and select a good live com
mittee to go to Portland to work with
me in getting this Hoppner-Spruy
road on the map, After that It will
not be a great while before the ac
tual construction of this important
link will be undertaken, I am sure.

DATES SET FOR
EASTERN OREGON
WHEAT MEETING
Moro Favored as Location for
. Economic Conference Which
Will Be Held in February.
Dates for the all eastern Oregon
economic conference on wheat have
been set for February 11, 12 and 13
by officials of the Oregon Agricul
tural College extension service and.
experiment station, who, with lead
ing farmers, are sponsoring the plan.
Decision to hold such a conference
was reached recently at a meeting in
Portland attended by college officials
and county agents from all grain
growing counties east of the moun
tains. As problems connected with
wheat raising ore fairly uniform in
the counties in tha district it was
thought that a joint conference this
winter would be opportune.
Place of meeting and details of the
conference are tentative pending fur
ther conferences with leading wheat
raisers throughout the district, the
advice of whom will be followed closu-
ly. Preliminary plans call for five
subcommittees, each headed by a
wheat raiser, to consider the ques
tion of world supply and demand,
farm management and land utiliza
tion, finance and credit: grading,
handling and transportation; tillage
and production practices.
Moro is favored by many as the log
ical meeting place for the conference,
though the opinions of more gowers
will be sought before this matter is
settled. E. R. Jackman, farm crops
specialist in tho extension service
and one of the men most familiar
with wheat growing conditions, will
spend the next two months in the
district concerned consulting with
growers and holding preliminary
meetings in preparation for the cen
tral conference.
All 16 counties east of the moun
tains will be represented in the con
ference according to present plans.
as all have wheat areas of more or
less importance.

LEXINGTON WINS
FROM ATHENA IN
HARD FOUGHT GO
Drop Kick in Second Quarter
Proves Winning Score for
Morrow County Men.
(Pendleton East Oregonian)
The Lexington Giants defeated the
Athena town team in Round-Pp park
Sunday afternoon by the score of 3-0.
A drop kick from the educated toe of
Louis Allyn, Giant half back just be
fore the end of the half proved to be
the only score of a hard fought foot
ball game.
Both teams played some good foot
ball in spots and tha game was en
joyed by the large crowd that gather-ed-in
the Round-Up grounds for the
affair.
Despite a rainy morning the field
was in good condition and fairly fast
and the weather was perfect for foot
ball. The winners appeared to outweigh
Athena by a slight margin but the
two elevens were matched to a degree
of evenness seldom seen in a grid en
counter. The teams played the same
kind of football, line smashing with
an occasional end run or forward pass
to liven things up a bit. Lexington
displayed a slight superiority in the
passing end of the game but at that
their overhead play came near losing
the game for them. Late in the third
quarter some "bad breaks and some
good football gave Lexington the ball
in Athena territory. A forward pass
from Nichols to White put the ball
on Athena's eight yard line. With
four downs to make eight yards the
Lexington field general elected to
forward pass. His heave fell into the
arms of Snider, Athena left half, who
raced the length of the field for an
apparent touchdown which however
did not count when referee Franks
of Whitman, ruled that the quarter
was over before the play had started.
It was a lucky decision for Lexington
for the whistles that sounded blew
just as the ball fell into Snider's
arms, which would, in ordinary prac
tice, insure the completion of the
play.
In one of the closing plays, Herman
Geissell, Athena left half, was badly
injured and had to be taken from the
game, beveral other men were in
jured in the play but Geissell's hurt
was belived to b the most serious.
A feature of the pis was the bril
liant work of Lee Bannister, Athena's
right end who repeatedly, while he
was in the contest, stopped Lexing
ton's plays in their incipiency or
crashed them as they sought to come
around has end.
For the most part Harden of the
losing team played a great game and
some of his punts were exceptionally
fine.
Lexington's town team will play
The Dalles Sunday on the latter's
field.
School Started at O.A.C.
For Hay Inspectors
A training school for hay inspect
ors for the northwest and Pacific
coast is to be established srt O. A. C,
through the cooperation of D"on A. B.
Cordley for the school of agriculture
and the state experiment station and
the federal hay investigation division.
Standards for the inspection and
grading of hay have been recently for
mulated by the department of agri
culture. To apply these standards inspectors
must be carefully trained, says Pro
fessor C. C. Ruth of the form crops
department, just returned from a
three-weeks national hay grading
school at Kansas City. Professor
Ruth was the only man from the Pa
cific coast states to attend the Kansas
City school, conducted by E. C. Par
ker of the United States department
of agriculture.
Inspectors from Utah, Colorado,
Texas, and Kansas were in attendance
as well as representatives from the
state colleges of Iowa, Nebraska, Ok
lahoma, Minnesota, and Oregon. They
were trained for the purpose of ac
quainting farmers, hay shippers, and
dealers of their states in the princi
ples of federal hay standards and in

Auxiliary Raises, Fund
For Veterans' Benefit
About fifty dollars was cleared by
the local unit, American Legion Aux
iliary, at their benefit card party
Oct. 28th. The auxiliary greatly ap
preciates the ready response and sup
port given the project by the people
of the community and gives assurance
that the money will be wisely spent
for the comfort of our disabled vet
erans and their families. Many piti
ful stories of brave struggles of mo
thers to clothe their children and
keep them in school while the soldier
father is sick, are brought to our at
tention. The Child Welfare Commit
tee of the Auxiliary in Portland is
doing wonderful work with the lim
ited means at its command, its funds
consisting of donations from the
units throughout the state and the
annual sale of poppies. Its activities
range from helping with the rent,
supplying groceries and distributing
clothing to securing medical attention
for mothers and children. The fath
ers in the hospital at least got shel
ter, food and care. Their families
are not always so fortunate. Hepp
ner unit recently sent over one hun
dred pounds of clothing to the com
mittee to be distributed among these
people. In the letter of thanks re
ceived we were told that nearly all of
it had been put to immediate use.
With the twenty-five dollars which
we recently sent to the hospital and
with five dollars contributed by an
other unit one bedside table and elev
en bedside rugs were bought, the
Meier & Frank company giving a
generous discount on the rugs on
learning of their ultimate purpose.
Mr. and Mrs. J. D- Bauman have
generously given a box of apples to
be sent to the hospital and a box of
jelly and jam donated by members at
the last meeting has been prepared
for shipment.
Several of the high school bovs.
members of the football team, made
the trip to Eugene to attend the Ore-
gon-O. A. C. game Saturday, and to
look over the Eugene and Corvallis
campusses. Those who went were
Crocket Sprouls, John Turner, Jim
Thomson, Eugene Doherty, Leonard
Schwarz, Harold Erwin, Elmer Buck-
num, Stephen Thompson and Paul
Aiken.
Irene Lovgren, member of the sen
ior class, is out of school with an
attack of whooping cough.
With staff apponitments complet
ed, the year's work on the Hehisch,
Heppner high's annual, is" being
mapped out. Cover and book papers
have been looked over, although no
definite selection of either has been
made.
The positions on the staff and the
persons who will fill them are: as
sistant editor, Orrin Bisbee; joke ed
itor, Duck Lee; snapshot editor, Shir
ley Prophet; boys' athletics, Eugene
Doherty; grils' athletics, Irene Lov
gren; society editor, Lucile McDuf
fee; music and drama editor, Ruth
Furlong; and literary editor, Louise
Thomson.
A very large and extremely worth
while collection of books has been
added to the library through the gen
erosity of Mrs. Woodson, wife of the
late Hon. C. E. Woodson. Moot of
the other books in the library are
being recatalogued and rearranged
according to the duodecimal system
in use in the majority of libraries.
The library staff is handling the work
during vacant periods and after school
hours. Vi ith the rearrangement the
confusion occasioned by, the lack of
systematic order will be prevented.
New volumes received at the first of
the year have already been numbered
and put in circulation.
Only one more game remains on
this year's football calendar. That
is the Heppner-Wasco clash sched
uled for Thanksgiving day on Wasco's
gridiron. Practice workouts for this
game are being held now. It is proba
ble that several cars of Heppner root
ers will drive to Wssco to see the
last game of the season.
Debating' is nlanned as one of the
main activities of Heppner high this
vear. To this end all four Enelish
classes will be organized as debating
squads. At first debates will be held
between two teams chosen from the
same English class. Thpsn will he
followed by interclass meets when the
outstanding debaters of each r.nglish
class will meet those of each other
class. Finally a team will be nicked
to represent the entire high school in
contests with other schools.

MEASLES COMMON
IN THIS STATE
Lack of Proper Precautions Given as
Cause of Prevalence of
Thia Disease.
By State Board of Health.
Why is measles so common in Ore
gon? Largely because of our as
sumption that it is of minor import
ance, an inevitable accompaniment of
childhood. We carelessly expose well
children, and fail to isolate sick ones
promptly enough.
Is the disease itself serious:? Yes,
and its complications, secondary In
fections are more so.
What are some of the complica
tions? Broncho-pneumonia, eye and
ear infection and lowered physical
resistance predisposing to tuberculo
sis. Is there a protective vaccine or ser
um? No, which makes the avoidance
of infection ever mone important.
At what time of year should we es
pecially guard against measles? From
the opening of school in the fall un
til late spring.
What age group 13 affected? More
than 70 per cent of deaths occur be
fore 5 years.
How is measles spread? By contact
with the discharges of an infected
person or with articles contaminated
by him. Discharges from the throat,
nose and mouth are extremely-dangerous.
'
At what stage of the disease is it
communicable? During the early
stages, sometimes before it is pos
sible to recognize the disease. This
makes control difficult.
What is the incubation period? The
length of time that elapses between
the entrance of the germ into the
body and the development of symp
toms. It varies from 7 to 21 days.
What are the first symptoms?
Those of a catarrhal cold. The eyes
are unusually sensitive to light.
When a child presents such symp
toms what is the safest thing to do?
Promptly isolate him until the exact
nature of the illness is determined.
This is always a wise course and
doubly so if there have been any
cases of measles in the community.
How can we prevent measles epi
demics in schools? By the school
teacher watching the chlidren closely
for the symptoms of a cold whenever
there is a case of measles in the
neighborhood.
What should be done with a child
showing suspicious symptoms? He
should be excluded from school, iso
lated, and a physician called.
Are the children from an infected
household allowed in school? The
ones who have not had measles should
be excluded.
Why should measles be reported to
the health officer? Because it is the
duty of every law-abiding citizen to
report all communicable diseases in
order that susceptible children may
be given adequate protection.

No Third Term.
8 Hours in 45 Minutes.
Faith and Disease.
His Gods in Vain.
James Hamilton Lewis, always pic
turesque, but sometimes inaccurate,
says the Republican nomination fight
in 1928 will be between Secretary
Hoover and Vice-President Dawes.
He says the "two-term tradition es
tablished by Washington will not
break down."
Mr. Lewis is just 100 per cent
wrong in two ways. There isn't any
question of a two term tradition.
Mr. Coolidge has been elected by
the people ONCE, and it j the elec
tion, not the accident of a Presiden
tial death, that counts. Unless we
have very bad times in America be
tween now and 1928, and we shall
NOT have them, the nomination and
election of President Coolidge are as
certain as anything can be.
Moving pictures compress a great
deal of work and effort into a short
period of "seeing."
Will Hays says the average eight-,
hour day of film work, actors, act
resses, directors, working hard for
eight hours, produce THREE-QUARTERS
OF A MINUTE of actual film
display.
In one big picture, soon to be re
leased, a sixty-five acre field was cov
ered with a "set" costing $300,000,
and it represented in all jut six
minutes of moving picture entertain
ment. This compressing of hard work is
not new. Montesquieu devoted more
than twenty years of intense re
search and study to the production of
his two small volumes, "The Spirit
of Laws."
Darwin, over a period of thirty
years, gathered information about
earthworms, and their contribution
to the earth's fertility, that you may
read in a few minutes.
Fortunately, and most important,
moving pictures when the best use
is made of them will compress ED
UCATION, as they now compress ac
tion. It will be literally possible through
moving pictures to teach a child in
three-quarters of an hour, and to
teach well, thoroughly and PERMAN
ENTLY, more than the child can
learn under proper methods in a
dozen school days of eight hours,
spent indoors at a time when tha 1
child ought to be out in the sun
shine. .
In politics we used to fight about
slavery, then about tariff and the full
dinner pail. Those issues are worn
out, and, as Mr. Robert Barry says,
political fights now are centered on
alcohol and religion. These issues
will pass away, but men always will
have something to divide them.
The reverend Seldon T. Delany says
faith helps disease, as it undoubtedly
does, and gives a scientific explana
tion. Faith inspires beneficial emo
tions; they cause in the body "chem
ical changes thai banish disease."
The Reverend Francis J. Hall con
nects suffering with the will of God,
and says sickness is sometimes good
for you. When people are well, they
