HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 15, 1926. PAGE FIVE The combines are running on the Jeff Jones and Harry Rood farm and good grain in being harvested. The Rood place will not yield quite so well as in former seasons owing to lack of moisture, while the Jones grain is turning out. a yield about up to the average of good seasons. That section was favored with a heavy shower of rain early In the season, and it is noted that wherever that struck the yield is the best. The Jones grain is now coming to the warehouse at Heppner, as is also the grain from the Ferguson place in Sand Hollow, the trucks picking np the bags and rushing them in almost as fast as they are dumped by tbe combines. District Attorney S. E. Notson went to Portland Sunday to attend the meeting of the republican state cen tral com"mittee, and incidentally get where the heat was more intense than in his old home town though it was not so cool here on Sunday. The gov ernment weather bureau here report ed 106 for Heppner, and Frank Gil liam says this is the hottest ever re corded in the city since the records have been kept. We note from the report, however, that there was com plete harmony in the republican cen tral committee meeting, regardless of the hot weather prevailing in Port land. Oscar Schaffer, Monument stock man, was a visitor here on Friday and Saturday, being called to the city on business. It has been four years since he visited here last, and he was quite surprised to. see the improvements that had been made in the meantime.

Mr. and Mrs. Geo. D. Fell came up from Portland on Saturday night and are spending a short time in this city while Mr. Fell attends to matters of business.

All records were broken for a period of more than 50 years, according to reports, and Mr. Fell believes that it never had been so hot in the city bcToro.

Heppner Unit, American Legion Auxiliary, wishes to call the attention of veterans of the world war to legis lation recently passed and supreme court decisions recently rendered, af fecting them. First is the extension of time for icinstating wartime insurance, grant ed by congress just before adjourn ment. The time is now extended to July 2, 1927. As an additional feature the issuance of what is known as five year level term policies was author ized. These policies, which cost about half that of the converted policy, may be converetd later into one of the six forms of permanent life or endow ment government policies. They were designed to assist veterans who have not up to this time been able to af ford to carry one of the regular pol icies. The state bonus law has also been revised to permit those who in the first instance were only entitled to apply for a cash bonus to apply for the full amount of the loan, the bonus received being deducted with interest at 4 from the amount of the loan. A recent decision of the state su preme court was to the effect that members of the S. A. T. C. are en titled to full benefits of the state loan act. Veterans should avail themselves of these benefits. Full information and assistance-in making your appli cation will be given by the local post of the American Legion. 1924 BUICK.
