MEDALS ARE AWARDS
Gold and Silver Trophies Offered the
Winner in Three Divisions; Out
side Judges to be Chosen.
With the recent arrival of gold and
: silver medals to be awarded as prizes
in the Morrow County Declamatory
contest to be held at Heppner High
school auditorium Saturday night in
terest in the event is reaching what
very nearly approaches being a state
of white heat.
Youngsters who have been labor
iously memorizing and reciting lines
and lines of poetry or prose have
leached the stage where nothing re
mains but the final burst of elo
quence, the gala occasion when they
stand on their two feet on a public
platform and give to the world the
best results of their hard labor. Fond
mammas and proud papas who have
patiently listened to their offsprings'
recitals for weeks past will have the
opportunity of hearing them in com
petition with other youngsters who
are just as anxious to carry home
one of the very attractive medals.
The trophies themselves are on dis
play at Harwood's jewelry store,
where they are being generously ad
mired. There are five of dull Roman
gold and five of sterling silver, each
with a bar across the top awaiting
to be engraved with a young Morrow
county citizen's name. Contestants
who participate in the affair but do
not receive medals will be rewarded
white ribbons to signify their work.
Present reports indicate that there
will be about thirty-five entrants, al
though there will probably be a few
more than that. Any Morrow county
public school student is entitled to
enter the contest, with the exception
of those who have been eliminated
in public tryouts held in the larger
schools.
To defray expenses of medals,
transportation of judges, publicity,
et cetera, a charge of 25c will be
made. The contest is scheduled .to
start at 7:30 p. m......
Superintendent Skeen of lone is to
secure as judges three persons, not
residents of Morrow county, who are
entirely unacquainted with any of the
contestants.
Places on the program will bo de
cided by lottery, to insure absolute
fairness in this as in all other as
pects of the contest. No pains will
be spared to make every feature of
the event fair and impartial to the
last degree.

La Grande Ball Nine Taken Into
Camp, 8-5; Two Home
Runs Feature.
Heppner's ball twirlers traveled 120
miles to La Grande and victory on
Sunday last. Starting the scoring in
the first inning, they kept the lead
throughout, the final count reading
8 to 5. The big edge that Fred
Roberts, once of La Grande and Port
land but now of Heppner, had in the
pitching department was largely re
sponsible for the victory. He al
lowed only seven hits for five runs,
while the La Grande moundsmen
were knocked for 14. He was cred
ited with 13 strikeouts to his oppon-
nts' three.
La Grande has a fast ball lot which
caused a few balls to be booted by
local fielders, accustomed to the much
slower local diamond, but in spite of
this they looked like a ball team. Two
homeruns were Tung up in the game,
Knight, first bagsman of the opposi
tion banged one into deep center field
the third round, scoring Price
head of him, while Van Marter
smacked a hot grounder through the
center of the lot the last time up in
the ninth, that carried him around
the bags. He was called out for al-'
ltgedly missing first base, but his
ingle accounted for Cason and Aiken
putting up markers.
A poor gate was shown by the re
ceipts, but fans in attendance ex
pressed the opinion that it was a
bang-up exhibition. The La Grande
boys have promised a return game to
be played here probably in two weeks.
They have a bunch of old heads and
re coming after the local scalp. It
hould be a good game.

JOHN NOLAN DISAPPEARS.
Relatives of John Nolan, farmer of
lone, are exceedingly anxious as to
his whereabouts. A little over a week
ago he went to Pendleton, and a'ter
being there a day or so he disap
peared and to date has not been heard
from. Search is being made to locate
Mr. Nolan and it is feared that some
thing serious may have happened to
him.

Dell Ward was in town Tuesday. He
states that his part of Morrow county
got a thorough wetting on Monday
night, and as it was raining most of
the time he was in town he was feel
ing that additional bushels to the
acre were being added to his coming
wheat ctop. That rain was certainly
the dope to put the big smile on the
faces of the Morrow county farmers.
George Burnside was doing business
in the city on Monday from his farm
n Eight Mile. He was getting ready
to do some haying and was not really
caring for rain at the present. Guess
the rain came just the same, for it
has a habit of being on the job when
some of our folks are ready to get
into the hay harvest or rather when
they have a lot of hay down.
D. A. Wilson motored into Portland
on Sunday, Being accompanied Dy
Mrs. Wilson. Sunday evening they
spent a few hours at the home of

this city, returning home Tuesday af
ternoon. Among local baseball fans who
ourneyed to La Grande with the team
Sunday were Mrs. L. Van Marter, Mrs.
B. R. Finch, Mrs. P. Aiken, Mrs. Mc
Arthur and son, Mr. and Mrs. Harry
Davis, Mr. and Mrs. B. P. Stone. Mr.
and Mrs. Stone went on to Baker
Sunday evening for a visit with Mrs.
Stone's brother, returning home on
Tuesday.
Fred Roberts, local pitcher, will
hold down the mound for the Condon
team next Sunday, when that team
meets White Salmon in a Mid-Colum
bia league clash. Roberts has a good
'rep" in the "bushes' and his ser
vices are in demand. He will pitch
again for Heppner, however, as soon
as games are scheduled.
O. G. Crawford, daughter Jean, of
Joseph, and Miss Margaret Crawford
of this city, journeyed from Joseph
to La Grande on Sunday last and
saw the locals trim the Union seat
ball nine. Miss Crawford is spend-1
ing some time on a vsiit in Wallowa
county.
Miss Winnie S. Larson arrived here
from Canyon City the past week and
a now employed at the store of Pat
terson & Son, druggists. Miss Lar
son is a graduate pharmacist of Rose
burg but has been working the most
of the past year in Canyon City.
Jimmie McNnmee, one time clerk at

Darbee, O. W. R. & N. company agent
this afternoon that the recently pro
posed change in train schedule for
tlje Heppner branch would take effect
next Sunday. A news' item to this
effect appeared in the Portland Tel
egram this week, and-ineral rumor
among employees of tnSicompany had
it the same way, though nothing def
inite was learned at the local office
until today.
The new schedule will provide night

Some Land Transfers
Made the Past Week
Trading in lands in both Morrow
and Grant counties the past week re
sulted in the removal from Heppner
of Guy Boyer and family to Monu
ment, and the taking over of the
Boyer place on Hinton creek, togeth
er with some of the Whetstono land
adjoining, by Chas. Erwin, who
moved there the first of the week
with his family who had been resid
ing in town for the winter.
Mr. Boyer has purchased 2200 acres
of the L. Sweek land from J. W. Bcy
mer, who had recently traded for the
Sweek holdings near Monument. Mr.
Bcymer retains a large portion of
this land adjoining his place, and dis
posed of that portion lying near Mon
ument and containing the buildings
and improvements to Mr. Boyer. Mr.
and Mrs. Boyer departed for their
new home on Tuesday, their house
hold effects having gone over the past
week. From the reports we get Mr.
Boyer has made an excellent trade
and will be well situated for the fu
ture on the newly acquired home at
Monument,
Mr. Erwin will run the Hinton creek
place in connection with his wheat
lands on Rhea creek, so we are in
formed. MOTHER'S DAY.
By common consent one Sunday of
the year has been set aside as a day
when especial honor is to be paid to
Mother. If mother is alive she should
be remembered with a letter and a
present and you should wear a red
flower in her honor. If mother has
passed from this life then pause a
little to think of her and wear a
white flower in memory of her.
The mother's day service at the
Church of Christ will be held at eight
o'clock Sunday evening. There will
be appropriate speciol music and the
pastor will deliver a special sermon
in her honor.
The other services of the day will
be as usual except that there will not
be a morning sermon after the com
munion service.

been planned for some time, is to
be held on May the 7th at the pavu
ion. All the attractions are becom
ing attractive all the students are
preparing to see them all the public
is invited.
A council meeting was held last
Monday to discuss a location for
the annual high school picnic. A
place was suggested and it was put
before the student body for a vote
at the student body meeting.
Plans were made at this meeting
and the various committees were ap

this year. The American history pa
pers are due May 7th, the geography
papers the 10th, and physics the 21st
The papers bid fair t obe excep
tionally good, having important sub
jects which are yery interesting and
will be of some value to readers as
well as a great help to the writers.
The gold and silver medals, which
are to be awarded to the winners of
the different divisions of the declam-
atory contest to be held here May
7th, have been received.
The Junior Carnival is calling for
the service of many students of the

the war, by the use of current per
lodicals.
The seniors held a picnic at Herren
mill last Saturday. From all reports
it seems that they had a very enjoy
able time with a baseball game,
merry-go-round and some snow ball
collected at Ditch creek as the main
attractions.
The baseball game that was to be
played between lone and Heppner last
Saturday was cancelled, because of a
conflict with other school activities,

suit in the Circuit court of Morrow
county against the John Day Irriga
tion district and its board of direct
ors. The purpose of the suit is th
collection of a claim of a considcrnbl
s,um of money that Mr. Brown claim
is due him for services rendered, an
vhich said claim the board of direct
ors have failed and neglected to pay.
Mr. Brown was secretary of the dis
trict at the time of its organization
and served in that capacity during
tho first few years of its official ex
istence. For this service and the work
performed in getting the district
started, he alleges he was to receive
certain compensation. Tart payment,
only, has been made, and this suit is
brought for the purpose of compelling
the district to issue its warrants in
settlement of the balance claimed to
be due.
Freaks and Pastimes Galore Are
Planned by Junior Class to
Give Public a Gala Time.
Tomorrow night the much-talked
;f Junior Carnival will be the Mor
row county attraction. For one eve
ning strange and terrible creatures,
some of them in human form, will
hold sway over the Fair pavilion, the
scene of the frolic. Joe Teel, direct
descendant of the Old Nick himself;
Abracadabra, the fearless snake char
mer; Googoo, the wildest man in cap
tivity; Big Boy, the sky-scraping
giant and several others will be on
deck to make you use a lot of "Oh's"
and "Ah's," and wonder what you're
going to see next. A fortune teller,
one who has graduated with high
honors from the School of Experience,
will discuss with you and prophesy
for you the most intimate and far-
reaching portions of your future life.
Mr. Finch and Leonard Schwarz
will give a very fine demonstration of
professional tumbling, which in itself
will more than justify getting out the
old flivver and traveling a long way
to see.
Orders for confetti and carnival
novelties have gone in to Portland,
and unless there is a shortage plenty
of both should be on hand for the
big night.
Ice cream, home-made root beer
and candy will be purchaseable at a
booth in the heart of the festivities,
and in all probability members of
the church societies will vend cooked
foods and needlework from other
boothB.
Anyone who comes to the carnival
will be welcome in any sort of cos
tume, freakish or otherwise. Come
in your best spring wardrobe or in
the most fantastic garb you can de
vise, and you will be equally welcome.
Prizes will be awarded to the man
tnd woman who are most effectively
dressed for the occasion.
A guessing contest that promises
to be exciting will feature photo
graphs of members of the junior class
taken before the juniors had attained
their present dimensions and dignity.
Memberr of the audience will be pro
vided with blanks on which to ha'.ard
their guess as to the identity of the
photogiaphs. A suitable prize will go
So the person correctly guessing the
greatest number.
- A fish pond from -which for a ridi
culously small sum one may extract
nicies of great and everlasting value
will no doubt prove the piece de re
sistance of an entertaining evening.
Biggest Smoker Treat
Is Plan of "H" Club
The Heppner High school "H" club,
composed of students who have done
distinctive work in some branch of
athletics, and all other athletes of
the school will combine their efforts
to make possible a great and glorious
smoker, one which will blaze a new
notch in the trail of smokers and
prove an event to be talked about
for months to come. The date for
this exhibition of athletic prowess is
Saturday night, May 16, at the Fair
pavilion at Heppner.
The card for the evening's pro
gram, while not definitely made out,
is under the direction of B. R. Finch,
which is as good as saying it will be
a class by itself. Finch knows
boxing and boxers, and he intends
to call into play all his knowledge
along that line. The scrappiest scraps
that have been seen here in many a
long day will be pulled oft" for the
crowd's benefit. Careful selection and
training of contestants and the prom
ise of substantial prizes to the win
ners will insure this. The whole local
field will be gone over by Finch's
practised eye when the selections
are made, and if necessary to the
success of the smoker other boxers
will be called in.
But that isn't all. Not content with
putting on the most startling success
ful and exciting of boxing matches,
the boys are to go several steps, in
fact a whole hike, farther and pro
vide enough other demonstrations of
physical skill to make a young pro
gram in themselves. Rooster fights,
tugs of war, general free-for-all com
bats, (all in good spirit, of course)
and enough other items to make a
Dempsey-Willard bout sink into in
significance, will be provided by the
promoters. There will be features
to appeal to men, women, and child
ren, and all the boys ask is that you
turn out and they guarantee to do
the rest.
METHODIST COMMUNITY CHURCH
The Methodist Sundav school is to
have special features commemorat
ing Mother's Day next Sundoy. Spec
ial music, readings, and it is expect
ed the giving of personal experiences
by one who has had experience at the
Children's Farm Home at Corvallis.
An offering will be taken as a con
t'ibution to the Home.
The programs at the church hour
will also be in commemoration of
Mother's Day. Special appropriate
music will be given by the choir. The
theme of the morning will be, "The
Christian Home Life."
A cordial welcome to all.

HEPPNER GARAGE.
Arthur Brisbane
Mr. Lewis, Go to the Ant.
A Painful Cure.
250 Million Trust.
Sinclair Lewis, a novelist, thinks
he doesn't believe in God, and that
his unbelief is important. Last Mon
day, in the role of a clergyman, up
side down, just to prove that "there
is no God," Mr. Lewis publicly defied
Divine Power to strike him dead. He
said, with lack of good taste, "I defy
Him to strike me down within the
next ten minutes."
, Nothing happened, so Mr. Lewis
and the sort that listen to such
childishness doubtless believe t'.iat
something important has been dem
onstrated. Mr. Story, of the Santa Fe, manages
railroads from Chicago to tho Pacific,
with hundreds of thousands of rail
road ties, and ants everywhere busy
between the ties. One ant says:
"They say that a mysterious W. B.
Storey runs this railroad, but I know
there is no such person. And just
to prove it I defy him to come and
strike me dead."
At the end of ten minutes that ant
would feel as proud as Mr. Sinclair
Lewis.
It would not mean that Mr. Storey
couldn't strike down the ant, or that
the Ruler of this universe couldn't
strike Sinclair Lewis dead, if it were
worth while.
The point is that it isn't worth
while.
Just what the power is that man
ages this and other universes, with
their billions of suns, man cannot
know, except for the teachings of
faith.
The ancient philosopher said: "If
the camel had a god his god would
have four legs and a bump." Man,
like that imaginary camel inclined
to create God in his own image, has
invented many kinds of gods, attri
buting to them the baser human pas
sions revenge, jealousy, etc. What
ever supreme power may be, it is
surely beyond man's comprehension,
as W. B. Storey is beyond the ant's
comprehension.
A large "class" of automobile offen
ders, including the young lady who
just couldn't keep her foot off the
beautiful and agile dancer, Lillian
B. Accelerator, were to inspect the
white-sheeted figures in the morgue.
Judge L. P. Russell, cf Los Angeles,
leads the "class" and invented it.
He thinks reckless drivers will pause
and reflect when they see what a body
looks like, after the automobile hits
it.
Teachers in Paris had a similar
idea. They took entire classes of
boys to see those that had been killed
by the most dreadful diseases, or
even to the insane asylum to "in
spect" victims of absinthe and other
vices. It must be a painful cure.
The Department of Justice will in
vestigate what is called "The Two
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollar
Fertilizer Trust." The department
might find out what particular influ
ence, and whose money, kept a prom
inent automobile manufacturer from
getting Muscle Shoals, when he an
nounced his plan to give the farmers
cheap fertilizer. That plan, of course,
would have ruined any fertilizer
tiust. There were indications, at the
time, that some one was a good
spender.
SUFFERS BROKEN LEG.
While riding after horses on the
Ben Cox ranch on Hinton creek Sun
day, Kemper Snow met with an acci
dent and suffered a broken leg. The
horse he was riding stumbled and
oiled on him and when he was pick
ed up it was discovered that his left
leg was broken in two places. He
was rushed to town and Dr. McMurdo
set the broken bones, and at the
present time Mr. Snow is getting
along as well as could be expected.
TWILIGHT GAME POSTPONED.
Chilly winds and threatening rains
Tuesday evening cused the Masons-
K. of P. baseball game to be called
off. This game has been arranged to
be played Friday evening, hence mov
ing up the remainder of the schedule
and causing the series to last a couple
of days longer than first announced.
School in District No. 60, the Hods
don section, closed Tuesday. With
their teacher, Miss Fiances Coshow,
and a number of the patrons of the
district, the pupils had a picnic up
on Willow creek and greatly enjoyed
tha day, Monday. Miss Coshow is
leaving this week end for her home
nt Brownsville.
Mr. and Mrs. II. O. Ely and W. F.
I-almateer were Morgan people in the
city for a short time Tuesday. Rain
was welcomed throughout the Mor
gan wheat belt on Monday night, and
did a lot of good, tho Mr. Ely states
that the grain was not suffering.
Mr. and Mrs. O. L. Barlow of Eight
Mile announce the arrival of a little
daughter, Alfa Bernice Barlow, born
