Boardman, Irrigon, Willow Creek, Rhea Creek and Fuirview, having a membership of 300. The communities having a chapter of the order find it of great benefit in the social life of the com munity as well as a big educational factor. Women are on an equal foot ing with men in the Grange and the age limit is lowered to include many of the younger members of the fam- iiy. Boy Scout Troop Will Hold Investiture Service With the impetus of a new leader and an active cooperation committee Boy Scout Troop No. 1 of Heppner is forging right ahead to a conspicuous place among state troops. Early in April members of this group plan to hold an investiture service, when sev eral applicants will be taken into the first, or Tenderfoot, degree of Scout ,dom. To pass the examinations for this a boy must know the scout oaths, laws and by-laws, and must demon strate that he has acquired a fund of knowledge of general use to a scout, such as tying knots of all sorts and purposes, and being able to give cer tain national symbols and traditions. Later on, by additional work and study, he may take the higher rank of Second and FirBt degree scouts. Some boys are also chosen as patrol leaders, and in that capacity have charge of a group of boys within the troop itself. Harlan Dovin, Clarence Hayes and Terrel Benge have attained this honor so far. The roster of Troop No. 1 has about 22 names just now. Boys between the ages of 12 and 18 are eligible for membership.

Council Sets Day For Annual Clean-Up; Mayor Noble Ask! Cooperation of Citizens. Monday, April 12, has been set aside as clean-up day in Heppner. This ac tion was taken by the city council at its last meeting and plans made for its successful observance. In an nouncing the date for this annual oh servance of a civic obligation, Mayor KoDle has issued a proclamation ask ing the cooperation of all the people of the city. In setting the day for Monday the council had in mind the idea that those who found it impossible to take this day off, could do their work on the Sunday before, and thus no excuse could be given by anyone for not do ing his part. All rubbish is to be put in sacks, boxes, or other contain ers, and placed at the curb or on the street, and the city will cooperate by having it hauled away free of charge on that day, it is announced. "It is important that the back yards and alleys be given as careful atten tion as the front of property," said Mayor Noble this week. "The condi tion of the back yard is a pretty- good indication of the household in gen eral, and people should be careful to see that their back yard gives the right kind of impression." During the last few weeks the citv has been busy putting many of the side streets in good condition, and it is believed that by whole-hearted co operation on thiB day, the old town will be better groomed htan it has been for many a day. One point in particular, however, should be kept in mind at all times,' said Mayor Noble. A city ordinance prohibits the throw ing of ashes, refuse, or trash of anv description onto the city thorough- lares, and a closer observance of this statute may be the means of avoid ing trouble. A PROCLAMATION. TO THE PEOPLE OF HEPPNER: It has been the custom of the Citv Council for several years to set aside a day each spring for the purpose of making a general clean-up of the city. A need for such an occasion be ing felt again this year the council has designated Monday, April 12, for this occasion, and it is hereby nro- claimed as Clean-Up Day in Heppner. 1 hereby urge every citizen of the city to observe this day by making a thorough clean-up of his premises the back yard and alley as well as the front yard and street to the end that our city may be made more at tractive, more livable, and health con ditions in general be made better. The earnest cooperation of all will be necessary for a successful carrying out of the plans for this day. E. G. NOBLE, Mayor.

CORBETT. To safeguard the health of the com munity, it is the duty of every citizen to give wholehearted, generous sup port to the statewide campaign being conducted by the Pacific Protective society in behalf of the new Juvenile Hospital for Girls in Multnomah county, at Elwood Station. The drive it being waged to raise $60,000 to complete the hospital by June 1, to take care of the large number of in fected girls and children awaiting treatment. These girls are sent to the hospital from every part of the state, therefore the drive is a statewide ob ligation. The nature of the work being con ducted by the hospital which is an extension of that carried on for 16 years by the Louise Home, commends it to every man and woman. It is a Mrs. C. H. Botts of Gooseberry un derwent a very serious operation for the removal of gall stones and relief of appendicitis at the Heppner Surgi cal hospital the first of the week. Mrs. Botts, who is the mother of 12 children, is reported to be doing well and will soon be able to leave the hospital. , The family of O. C.

Venereal diseases are so quickly spread and have such tragic results when not treated and segregated that this hospital is one of the most nec essary institutions in the state. Girls come from every county; they are educated in Bchool work and eare for themselves, and in the event the girl is to become a mother, she is given pre-natal care, her baby is watched for infection and treated, and the young mothers, many of them un der 16 years of age, are helped to take their places again in the social world and become respected citizens. It is for this purpose that the Pa cific Protective society asks aid of every resident of Oregon. "Help Save the Race" is its slogan. Mrs. R. E. Bondurant for many years an with Mrs. O. T.

Visiting members welcome. active worker in the Louise Home, is giving her time to manage the cam paign, and will receive contributions or furnish any information requested. Field workers are now going thru the county, and as a humanitarian project no one can afford not to help complete this hospital. The present one, a frame cottage, accomodates but 16 girls. The new one will care for 50, and in addition there is an obstetrical wing, operating rooms, nursery, school rooms, gymnasium, commercial and domestic science classes, in fact, everything that will restore the girl to a good, clean citi zen. Mrs. Lillian Cochran and A. A. Berry are in charge of the drive in Morrow and Umatilla counties, and they will be in Heppner this week-end in its interest. Morrow county's quota is $500. Ill SCHOOL II1S Despite the prevalence of winter and spring colds and attendant dis orders the average of high school at tendance for the school month just closed was 96.4 percent. This was better than the grade average which was 92 percent. This week the at tendance has been much more regular than last. Monday, March 29 Morrow county teachers from rural districts will pay a visit to the Heppner school, since it is the largest in the county, to see how it is run. This visit will be made in accordance with an annual custom began a year or two ago and found to be very helpful to teachers in small er schools. A hard-fought baseball game was played between the freshman and sub-freshman teams last Saturday on the baseball diamond. Although the sub-freshman team was made up largely of grade school pupils who substituted for "regulars" who were ill, they were victorious by a score of 15 to 14. Many of the high school boys have been turning out for baseball practice during the past week. The first con test will take place with Arlington on April 3rd at that city. Prospects for the first team are: battery, Earle and Kenneth Merritt; shortstop, Paul Hisler; 2nd base, Crocket Sprouls; 3rd base, Bill Bucknum. The remain ing positions are undecided as yet. Among the freshmen turning out are M. Howard, M. Edmundson and J. Cas teel. Superintendents Burgess of Hepp ner and Skeen of lone have been working together on plans for a de clamatory contest which will include all the schools in Morrow county. The grade schools will be divided in to three classes, the lower, interme diate and upper sections. Any sub ject, humorous or otherwise, may be chosen, and it does not have to be original. This plan has been fash ioned after that in use in the declam atory leagues existing in Umatilla and Crook counties. If the responce in this county is sufficiently enthus iastic, the contest will no doubt be held about May 1. An enlarged edition of the "Hepp nerian," official organ of the Hepp nerian Literary society, will be pub lished Friday, March 26. The latest mws, jokes and gossip will be pur veyed and exchanged for nickels. On Friday, April 2, members of the society will be hosts at a banquet to he tendered the basketball players in the basement of the schoolhouse. J. H. Gemmell Dies ' Early This Afternoon Word received just before going to press announced the death early this afternoon of J. H. Gemmell, aged resident of this city, at the Morrow General hospital, caused by a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Gemmell was take to the hospital the fore part of the week, where he underwent a minor operation, and though very much weakened by an illness of several week's duration, he was apparently resting ensicr, until the stroke this afternoon struck him. Joseph H. Gemmell was for many years a farmer near Heppner, retiring several years ago with Mrs. Gemmell to make his home in this city. He leaves a large circle of relatives and friends in this county to mourn his departure. We hope to be able to give a full obituary account next week.

The long arm of the law reached out to the sand country near Irrigon the first of the week and its tentacli -a clasped onto one of the largest moon shine stills ever placed on exhibition at the county bastile. Out in the sand dunes in a low swail, was a dug out, camouflaged quite completely by piles of sage brush, and in it was the anti-volstead machinery, apparently quite immune from inquisitive strang ers but, its usefulnes, or mUuseful- ness, has been blasted. Wm. Hoskins, government agent. and Walter Matteson and Hugh Grim, deputies, got the outfit last Monday evening, and it was brought to Hepp ner Tuesday morning, as was also Ken Lhisholm of Hcrmiston, charged with operating the still. Chisholm was arraigned before C. E. Glasgow judge of the justice court at Irrigon, and on the plea of not guilty was placed under $2500 bond to await hearing before the grand jury. As yet no bail has been given. when the still was found a large batch of mash, just ready for a "run", was uncovered. There was no one at the dug-out at the time, about 6 o'clock Monday afternoon, but it is presumed the operatora were going to make the "run" that night. Chis holm, taken into custody on suspicion, was found at an old pumping station on the river some three miles from the outfit. The officers found he had apparently established somewhat tem porary living quarters in the little shack. Heppner Putting In Shape An All Local Ball Team The fine spring weather of the nast few weeks has got under the skin of local lovers of the national sport, and the ball diamond at Rodeo field has been the scene of rnnrh nHivitw tbo past week.

Spring Clean-Up. (From State Board of Health.) With Spring comes house cleaning. Clean-Up" campaigns are now in or der. It is an excellent plan to have the streets, alleys and yards cleaned especially in the Spring, but the ben efit of the clean-up will depend en tirely upon the efforts of the indiv iduals to keep up the work for the en tire year. To maintain healthy, san itary conditions either for the indiv idual or the community does not re quire a great effort, but it does re quire a more or less continuous ef fort. Cleanliness of person and premises is to a certain extent a protection against disease. A clean, healthy en vironment has a wholesome effect, while a dirty, unsanitary environ ment is degenerative in its effect physically, mentally and morally- producing poor citizens. Anything which raises the standards of clean and healthy living will pay finan cially. There is nothing more expen sive to the community than filth and disease. A favorable sentiment toward bet ter living and health has grown in this state until now there is in al most every community a clean-up spirit. An annual clean-up does not suffice any more for a clean city than a yearly bath would for a clean in dividual. Regular inspection of the milk and meat supplies, restaurants and soda fountains is necessary to insure safe and clean foods. The streets, alleys and backyards should be kept clean by continuous effort and vigilance. In this way you will raise the standard of living in your com munity. Desirable citizens are at tracted to live where the conditions are favorable to health and content ment. All manure piles whether around houses, barns, hog pens or chicken yards should be removed at least twice a week, as they are the princi pal breeding places of the fly. Lime is one of the cheapest disinfectants for general use, and should be liberal ly used in the disinfection of manure grounds, garbage cans and the like. Precautions taken against flies now will save endless work and worry later on. Take pride in the general appear ance of your community, and keep your own place continually cleaned up. Remember general cleanliness is an outward indication of sanitation. It is the best and cheapest advertise ment your community can have. By Arthur Brisbane Only Work Counts. It All Conies Back. Conspicuous Good News. Eat Soup... Minerall Salts. Bishop Manning, head of the Prot ectant Episcopal Church in New York, denouncing divorce in high society, says it means "practical polygamy." In one year there were only 67 di vorces in Canada, against 112,036 in the United States. Some questions: How does the Bishop expect high society to amusi itself if it can't get an occasional divorce? Would the overage of high social morality be ny better if men and women, disliking each other, were compelled to remain married? Is not man naturally a polygamous animal, reverting to polygamy when economic pressure is removed, as in high society? Reuben Hoffman, aged twenty-eight, shot himself to death, leaving word that he chose to die because he was a failure. He mentioned also the fact that he had "never worked much, for fear of making a slave of himself." If he had been a little more of a slave, he might have been less of a failure. Men need to realize that work is the only thing worth while. Richard Padgett, scientist, shown an instrument that talks. It says Hello. London, are von home?" RTirl "Lila, I love you." Science lets us talk across the continent or ltfino. in bed, hear the President making his speech in Washington. Now appears a machine that may save us the trou ble of talking. Man's easiest work is done by push ing a button, which button Btarts the steam shovel or steamship. Gangwell wrote long ago. "The Na poleon of the future will be an epil eptic chess player, carried about the field of battle on an air cushion." Let's hope that will never come, but inventors are doing what they can to bring it about. On Hundred Thousand New York building trades workers will get what they ask, $1 to $2 a day increase. This will add $75,000,000 a year to the $525,000,000 already paid those wage earners. Conservative capital will weep for a little while, saying, "The nation is going to the dogs." Later, conserva tive capital will find all the money coming back into its coffers. , Masons, plasterers, bricklayers, cer- penters, spend what they get. Some day big men will learn that all the money they can ever get, is money spent by little men. Bad news is conspicuous, good news not. For instance, the navy perfects a torch used under water, despite the intense pressure of great depths. It s an interesting torch, with three sheaves meeting at a point. From the three sheaves acetylene gas, hy drogen gas and compressed air burst forth. An air bubble protects the fire under pressure, and the torch, de veloping under water a temperature of 5,000 degrees, will burn holes in the steel sides of sunken submarines and other ships, making it possible to pump in air and raise them to the surface. Lady Fletcher, having lived on fruit juices and vegetable extracts for forty-two days, breaks her "fast" and takes milk. The diet, is not a fast, has done her good, improving her complexion, preserving her strength. From vegetables boiled to a liquid. she got the mineral salts absolutely essential to health. Give one rat nothing but water, give another rat water and unlimited quantities of food from which all mineral salts have been extracted; the rat eating food will die before the rat taking only water. Food without mineral salts is food without nourishment. That is why good soup that includes boiled vegetables is so important. The best part of vegetables is boiled out it. many households and thrown away. In soup it is preserved. WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED? The evangelistic services that are being conducted at the Church of Christ by the pastor have begun with good interest. Tonight the subject will be "The Good Confession," and Friday night, "Christian Baptism." Sunday morning the subject will be "The Hands of Jesus," and tho eve ning subject will be, "What Must I Do to Be Saved?" The latter will present a summary of the cases of conversion recorded in the New Tes tament. We will not try to improve on the conditions of salvation as set forth by the divinely taught and spirit tilled apostles of our Lord. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister.
