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.

good one for Dan Cupid in Morrow

Al Henriksen Contributes $25 to Help
Send Legion Representative to
1927 Convention In France.
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.

EVANS BROWN HERE JAN. 18TH.
" 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.

announced his candidacy, subject to
the approval of the voters of the Re
publican party at the coming primary

Through - these positions he has be
come familiar with the. school prob

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

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.

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 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.

Mrs. Alex Gibb, has been confined to

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."
