I LOOKING BACK AT 1925 " BvA.acHAMN I Churches, Legion and Elks Make Children Happy v At Christmastide. BUSINESS IS BRISK Good Trade Enjoyed by Heppner , Store; Preparations for New Year1 EvenU Under Way. Santa earns and U gone. Did Heppner enjoy his vialt? Ask Hepp ner kiddies, or better yet, her busi ness men. They say the old man of the north was mighty generous. The kiddies were well treated on every- hand. On Thursday evening the churches of the town gave appro priate programs featuring the young' sters, following which they were giv en bags of goodies. Then as usual the Legion boys also played Santa Claus to the children and the largest bunch yet were treated at their tree at the Fair pavilion the same eve ning. The Legion Christmas dance was also a big success and spread cheer among the grown-ups. Christmas afternoon found the Star theater filled with a happy bunch of youngsters, guests of the B. P. O. Elks, to witness Jackie Coogan in "Little Robinson Crusoe." It was a grand day for them. Then Heppner merchants are more than pleased with the way Saint Nick treated them. Trade was a little slow in warming up, but the last few days before Christmas saw throngs of hap py shoppers in Heppners stores. Maybe it wasn't the biggest Christ mas Heppner has ever seen but con sidering everything it was a very good one, they believe, and an abund ance of cheer was spread to help usher in the New Year with gladness. The presence of many of Morrow county's young men and women, home from college, has helped to make the holidays the cheerful occasion they have been. Some preparations are being made to usher in the New Year in proper manner, and besides many private affairs, on of the larger events will be an Elks dance in their'hall, music furnished by The Dalles jazz band.

At a special meeting of Heppner Post No. 87, American Legion, Tues day evening preliminary plans were made to send a representative from the post to the Paris Convention in 1927. While the method to be used In raising the money was not defi nitely decided, the fund was given a good start by Al Henriksen of Pen dleton, formerly a Heppner resident, who handed the post his check for $25. Mr. Henriksen was in the hotel lobby where the meeting was being held, and when he was told the pur pose of the gathering he expressed his interest in' the Legion and its aims and backed up bis views with the check. In the course of his re marks Mr. Henriksen heartily en dorsed the move to send a delegate . to Paris. To say that the members of the post appreciate his generosity is to put it mildly. Mr. Henriksen is the father of Oral Henriksen, a mem ber of Heppner Post. Final action on the Paris fund, as well as on other important business, will be taken next Tuesday, January 5, when the first meeting of the post in the new year will be held at Ho tel Heppner at 8 p. m. There will be something to eat and it is the hope of the post officers that every member as well as everyone eligible to mem bership, be present. From the indi cations this meeting promises to be one of the most important of the year. Dairy Short Course January 4 to 30, '26 Oregon Agricultural College, Cor vollis, Dec. 29.

" So-called "occult" mysteries have long baffled visitors in east India and China and many believe that there is some spiritual communication that is not of this earth, in the weird ma-n ipulations of the voodoo priests of these countries. Evans Brown has for many years made a special study of the work of those who claim supernatural powers and the extent of his study has not revealed that there is anything aside from very clever and baffling magic. Ha has even gone so fur as to borrow some of their tricks and those, will be used on his appearance here at the Star Theater, Monday Jan. 18. Brown is much more than a magi clan. He is one of the best accor dionists and has written many com positions for that difficult instrument. He is an exceptionally gifted harpist and carries one of the finest instru ments made for his harp group, He is a pianist of unusual achievement also. - His program is one that will long be remembered because of the wide variety in his entertainment. His musical numbers include both classic al and popular numbers and he also renders one of his own compositions on the accordion. This gifted young artist makes a tremendous hit where evcr he appears, MISS CHAMBERS MARRIED. From Monday's East Oregoninn of Pendleton we learn that Miss Harriet Chambers, a member of the Pendle ton high school faculty, and Ray Gar diner were married in Portland Sun day. The ceremony took place at 4 p. m,( at the home of Mr. Gardiner's aunt. They will return to Pendleton after the Now Year. Miss Chambers was formerly a member of tha Hepp ner high school faculty and is well known here, .Jackie Coogan in THE RAG MAN at the Star Theater tonight and Fri day. LI.UH11LIUIV III niUL Eugene Educator Announce Candi dacy for Post of State Superin tendent of Public Instruction. E. P. Carlton of Eugene on Tuesday announced his candidacy, subject to the approval of the voters of the Re publican party at the coming primary election, for the office of Superinten dent of Public Instruction. Mr. Carlton submits his candidacy and will make his campaign on the ground that he is fitted by training and experience for the position. For thirteen years he was Assistant Su perintendent of Public Instruction, and for two years was field represen tative of the University of Oregon. Through - these positions he has be come familiar with the. school prob lems of every section of the state. His early youth was spent in Linn County, Oregon. After completing all of the work then offered in the public schools, he secured his first academic training at the Santiam Academy, Lebanon. After graduating there from he attended the University of Oregon and Pacific University from which latter institution he received the A. B. degree. Since this degree was conferred upon him, he has taken post graduate work at the University of Oregon. , His experience as instructor in cludes work in the rifral schools of Oregon as teacher, and as principal, and superintendent of schools at Jo seph, Albany and Eugene, in addition to serving three years as Instructor at the Lincoln high school in Port land. Mr. Carlton has had much to do with the planning of the state course of study, working out a standard for rural schools, inspection of high schools and promoting advanced school legislation. . He has written many articles on the educational system of Oregon, a num ber of which have attracted national attention.- One of his recent articles in the Journal of Educatoin, Boston, brought him a letter of commenda tion from the United States Bureau of Education. -Mr. Carlton served as President of the State Teachers' Association and was for four years a member of its Executive Committee. He was director of the Oregon Ed ucational Exhibit at the Panama Pa cific Exposition at San Francisco in 1916, and for eight years was in charge of the' Educational Depart ment of the Oregon Stnto Fair. In the Northwest Association of Secondary and Higher Schools, he has represented Oregon as its state chair man ever since the organisation of the Association. Also, he served one year as vice president of the National Educational Association. Mr. Carlton is a member of the. First Congregational church of Eugene. Heppner Had More Numerous Constellation, But Lexington Proved to be Brightest. Heppner had the edge in numbers, but Lexington's basketeers proved more meteoric in the all-star clash between the two on the Hepnner lieor last night. Lexington won 19-9 Spectators say it was a thrilling com bat, and one was overheard to remark that the wrong kind of suits v. ere worn. Anyway, ' Dimmy" Mather and the rest of the locals will testify that it was a battle. , "Dimmy" was high point man for Heppner gathering two field baskets. Paul Aiken was next with three points and B. R. Finch gathered in the other two in the last couple of minutes of play. With Dallas Ward, 0. A. C. football star, as scintillating light of the Lex ington constellation it had its night. Ward, Shearer and Nichols shown brightest, while Wright, Carmichael, White and Allen were also in evi dence. Other local all-stars were Ray and Paul McDuffee, Ralph Moore, Elmer and Bill Bucknum, Raymond Fergu son, Francis Doherty, and Jap Craw ford. The whistle of Phill Mahoney, referee was freely blown. A return game will be played at Lexington next Saturday night. Preceding the boys' game, the town and high school girls played a close ly contested game. Though we did not learn the score, there was one, and it was pretty good sized, too. "Kelly" McDaid for the town girls was probably the outstanding star, making most of the town points. The attendance was very fair and the exchequer of the local organiza tion was given a good boost. L F. E. Everson, farming some six hundred acres of the Dick McElligott land Bouthwest of lone, was a visitor here today, making this office a pleasant call. Frank has been car rying on for a number of seasons in the lone section, and it is his opinion that the farmers of that part of Mor row county have bad about- the. tough est sledding the past two years of all his experience. They are coming along OK however with a fine pros pect for abundant crops ahead .for 1926. - Theo. . Anderson was in the city yesterday from his home on -Eight Mile. Mr. Anderson says that- the grain out that way is coming along fine but he would feel just a little more content as to the outcome if the fields could now receive a heavy covering of snow. This would guar antee protection from freezing as well ss insure a good supply of moisture for spring and summer use. Lon Chaney in THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA, January 10 and 11. Milton Bower, newly chosen pastor of the Christian church, is expected to arrive from College City, Calif., on Saturday, and on Sunday will begin his work with the congregation here. It is hoped that a large attendance of the membership and friends of the church will greet Mr. Bower on Sun day at both morning nd evening ser vices. Bible school is at 10 a. m. and Christian Endeavor at 6:30 p. m. Weather conditions at Heppner dur ing the past week have been good. The thermometer has stood almost constantly at about 30 above for the greater portion of the time and it has been threatening snow. No mois ture has fallen and there has been some fog. The weather reports for the coast have been saying that snow is due this part of Oregon and we may look for it soon. Bruce Gibb, eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Alex Gibb, has been confined to the house the most of the vacation period with a severe cold. Bruce states that he was kindly remembered with a fine box of candy on Christmas from his old friend, Don Case, who is with the Bales department of the As sociated Oil Co. in Seattle. Miss Elizabeth Phelps will depart in the morning for Eugene, and the first of the coming week will go to Monmouth where she will enter the State Normal for the balance of the school year. She has been spending the Christmas holidays at the home of her parents, Mr .and Mrs. A. M. Phelps. Jimmy Wilson and wife arrived from Oakland, Calif, on Thursday last and are spending a short time visiting with relatives and friends hero. Mr. Wilson, who has resided in the Bay section of California for the past year or more, was engaged as a salesman with the Shell Oil Co. W. P. Mahoney, president of the First National Bank, motored to Portland the first of the week, being accompanied by his daughter, Miss Vers Mahoney, who was returning to Seattle after spending Christmas with her parents here. George Thomson went to Seaside the first of the week to spend a por tion of the holiday season with his family who are residing there for the winter. Mrs. Carrie Vaughn is spending the Christmas vacation season with mem bers of her family in Portland. One, two or three furnished and heated rooms for rent. See C. A. Minor. By Arthur Brisbane Our Religion? Not Enough. No Rouge Healthy. The Light City. Known But to God. A gentleman from the East brings what he calls a glorious proposition one religion to fit everybody. No more religions quarrels or prejudice. It won't happen. Each race wants to select its own gods, with approved characteristics. Some individual said lightly, "An honest god is the noblest work of man." The higher the man, the no bler his type of god. A Congo savage worships an idol with a pink nose. The ancient Greek said that If camels had a god their god would have four" legs and a hump, which ia true. We are taught that God made man in his own image. There is no doubt whatever that pagans made gods in THEIR own image, lending to him their own hatreds, animosities, ven geance, love of gold and silver, fond ness for the blood of animals, etc. There will be no "relgiion to suit all men" until you have a different race of men. High fashion decrees that ladies from now on must get stockings that match their complexions. There will be no trouble about that. Modern fashion makes it easy for a lady to change her complexion to match her stockings if she can't find exactly the silk stocking she want. A girl with no rouge on her face wins the health prize at Barnard Col lege. Miss Elizabeth Metzger, twenty years old, is five feet four and one half inches tall, weighs 120 pounds. She wears high heels, but you cant expect everything. No rouge or lip stick ever touches her skin.' She gives the pores of her face a chance to breathe, and that means health. : Other young women please take no tice. A beautiful complexion that can be bought by the ounce shouldn't interest any young man worth mar rying. The human body can get used to anything, except too violent changes. The same man can be healthy under the Equator, with the thermometer at 120, or near the North Pole, at 40 be low zero. ' But you could not change from the Equator to the North Pole in five minutes without risking life. j Young women should remember that but they won't. In- England mousanus oi gins now nave danger ous colds and influenza because they wear "Russian boots" up tb their knees for several hours, then change suddenly to light slippers for after noon and evening parties. Beware of sudden changes. America's biggest city, New Vorki does things on a big scale. So do dozens of other American cities from Seattle to Miami and from San Diego . to Portland, Maine. Our European friends resd with amazement that a young American, Arthur S. Williams, boss of the elec tric light industry, sells in New York City more electricity than is used by twelve European countries with a combined population of 109,000,000. The twelve countries that use less electricity than New York City alone are: Greece, Denmark, Latavia, Jugo slavia, Poland, Hungary, Norway, Ru mania, Turkey, Switzerland, Sweden and the Netherlands. New York uses 5,000,000,000 kilowatt hours per year. Illinois discovers that a bill passed, quietly, makes it possible to set free young Leopold or Loeb, or any other criminal, that might have "the price." Virtue wonders how such a bill could slip through the Illinois Legis lature. The non-virtuous wonders how MUCH a law of that kind would be worth in the hands of "practical men." Many soldiers lie in graves with no name. What would you writ above such graves? The War De partment has approved this inscrip tion: "Here rest in honored glory an American soldier, known but to God." CARD OF THANKS.
