Case Furniture Co, Umatilla High Defeats Heppner Hi In Opener Heppner High school football team went down to defeat at the hands of Umatilla high in her first league game of the aeason on Rodeo field Satur day afternoon. The score was 6-0. Though both teams showed many signs of inexperience, this was es pecially true of Heppner. Coach John son's proteges ran wild most of the time, keeping the ball in the enemy territory, but not once were they able to push the pigskin across the goal marker, Umatilla scored in the first half when a Heppner fumble was re covered near the Umatilla goal and the ball taken for a touchdown. The goal try was unsuccessful. "Bill" Bucknum, "Red" Bramer and Marvin Gammell showed them selves to be real ground gainers in the backfield, and with more funda mentals of the game should make themselves known in prep school cir cles before the season ends. Hepp ner's line was a stone wall on de fense, but didn't know exactly how to act on offense. A good team is in the making, believes the coach, who is not discouraged over the Bhowing made Saturday. Former Resident Here Dies at Wallowa Home From the Wallowa Sun, issue of Thursday, October 7, we have the account of the death of F. M. Broady, who for many years was a resident of Morrow county, being on his farm near Morgan, where he was well known. Mr. Broady left here a num ber of years ago to live in Wallowa county. The Sun's account follows: F. M. Broady, well known and high ly respected resident of Wallowa, passed away at his home a mile west ff town Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock following a six months' illness. Mr. Broady had been a resident of Wallowa but eight years, "Vet in that time had gained the respect of all who came in contact with him, a fact proved by the jteadfastness of his friends during the six months period when he lay blind and helpless. Last April, Mr. Broady went from his home in apparent good health, to plow on one of the L. Couch places, which he had rented. Later in the day he was found by the Couch boys lying unconscious in the field end was taken to his home by E. T. Campion. It was almost eight weeks before he regained consciousness, never regain ing his eyesight and being bed ridden for the remainder of his days. , During that six months, Mr. Broady suffered almost constantly but was always glad to welcome visitors and was always pleasant and jolly. He had a collie dog that had been his constant companion for several years and during his illness this dog never failed a day to come and greet his master by placing his nose under Mr. Broady's hand. Feeling the faith, ful fellow's presence, Mr. Broady would give him an affectionate pat. Monday night the dog seemed to sense his master was worse for he spent the night by Mr. Broady's bed side. Tuesday morning for the first time he failed to receive his usual caresB. After death came and Mr. Broady's body 'was taken away the dog went from room to room in a pitiful and pathetic search. F. M. Broady was born in Holt county, Missouri, Oct. 6, 1855 and liv ed in Missouri until 22 years of ace when he came to the west. For 35 years he was a resident of Oreeon. the last eight of which were in Wal lowa on the place on which he died. Mr. Broady is survived by his wi dow and four children, two daughters and two sons. One daughter, Mrs. Kaynnrd of Spokane, has been with her parents since Mr. Broady was tak en in. une son, Chester of Corvallis, was here for four months, after his father was taken ill but then had to return. He and Mr. Raynard arrived yesterday. One son, Arthur in New York, could not be present and a daughter, Mrs. Hazel Cooley of Cor vallis, was unable to come. He is also survived by 11 grandchildren and four brothers and three sisters. Funeral services were to be held in the undertaking parlors this after noon with the four ministers, Nazax ene, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Christian in charge. A solo "A Perfect Day" will be sung by Mrs. R. N. Ol son. The choir will sing "The Chris tian's Good Night," "When ! Get to the End of the Way," and "Is Not This the Land of Beulah," Mr. Broa dy's favorite song and the last he ever sang, about two weeks before he died. Celebrating her birthday on Tues day, Miss Mary Patterson gave a din ner party at her home, having as her guests the Misses Happy Wightman, Joy Erwin, Edna Vaughn, Patricia Mahoney and Mary Crawford. A de lightful dinner was served. The calling of a special venire by the circuit court brought a number of farmers to the city on Tuesday. They will have to lay oft on farm work for some days while attending to the duties of citizenship, Mary Pickford in "LITTLE ANNIE ROONEY," at Star Theater, Sunday and Monday.

The work is to -be pushed as rapidly as possible. This road has been abandoned for a number of years, following a big waterspout over that way that de stroyed the grade, and as a result the travel that formerly came to Heppner from the Lone Rock country was forced to go elsewhere, nr, as J. B, Huddleston states, travel 140 miles to get to Heppner when they should make it in 34. By restoring this road it will bring us again in touch with a lot of people who de Eire to come here, and who are so tit uated that they have to come to Heppner many times because of bus iness interests. The old road will be restored and the connection will be via Rood can yon down McKinney creek to the macadam road at the Rugg place. LEXINGTON HI NEWS. The first football game of the sea son was scheduled with Boardman October 2, but the game was called off by Boardman because they lacked enough players.

HAND . !L . 1 IF Must" ;te suckm, ttt&is dfl) n OHLEGSCHLAGER KILLS A' "BAR" What's in a name? Whenever a person comes across an unusual cognomen, that is usually the first question that arises. Ohlegschlag er is German for "oil slinger" or something of that nature, says the owner of the name, one Roy, night watchman in this city for the O. W. R. & N. company. Howerer, the name is a bit unwieldly, so the boys call him "Ole" for short. Ole went out deer hunting the other day in company with Buck Padberg and Bert Saling, and it was his fortune to slay a bear. He didn't know he was going to kill it, Ole said, but when it came loping out of the brush toward him, he ac cidentally pulled the trigger of his gun while trying to make up tiis mind what to do, and the bear fell over dead in his tracks. After it was all over, he began to feel a li tle nervous, but was naturally well pleased with his "coup de main" which netted him a medium-sized brown bear weighing about 240 pounds. Mr. Ohlegschlager also returned with a two-poin tbuck, feeling all told well satisfied with his hunt. Both other members of the party secured deer. They were hunting in the Alder section.

Notice to Grain Shippers. The State Grain Inspection Depart ment gives the following advice to grain shippers, which if heeded will save them much money and both themselves and the department much trouble: If you are loading two or more lots of grain in the same car too much care cannot be taken in marking the lots off distinctly, so there will be no chance of the inspector at the dock or mill getting the lots mixed. Many Vmes, when lots become mixed, the grades are thrown down, and the whole fault was because of the way the car was loaded. How Grain Should be Loaded. . In loading a car of sacked grain containing more than one kind of wheat, pile your first lot in one end of the car, and bfeore putting in other lots stripe the face of the pile with lampblack or paint, also write on two or more sacks the number of sacks in the lot. Mark end lot in the same way, and you will not have any trouble in lots becoming mixed a" time of unloading. When loading bulk cars with more than one lot of wheat, build your bulkheads at least two feet above the grain and build them very substantial, to prevent one lot slopping over into the other and the shifting of bulk heads when cars are in transit. Do not build bulkheads in center of door way, as it is impossible to unload at terminals without mixing the lots. Be sure the grain doors are tight and well nailed, to eliminate leaks. Inspect the cars carefully both be fore and after loading for leaks. If leaks are found, cooper same before releasing. Break Wheat Exporting Records. The month of September broke all wheat shipping records of Portland and Astoria ports to foreign ports, states the State Grain Inspection de partment. 5,786,141 bushels were shipped, valued at $7,691,253. In the same month last year 2,984,595 bush els were exported, valued at $4,842, 328. The largest force in years has been employed by the Grain depart ment to take care of the immense business. Chickens for Meat Only. Raising the heavier breeds of chick ens to two pounds and more and sell ing for meat is becoming a profitable industry in California, and some are taking it up in Oregon in an experi mental way. The chicks are hatched in all months from February to Octo ber and sold for friers and broilers, depending on the markets. After June and July there is a general shortage cf young chickens and the markets are usually keen. The chickens are ciated or penned when they have reached the right size and they are fattened on a ration of two parts of finely-ground corn meal, one part fnely-ground oats and one part mid dlings, mixed with buttermilk and fed thin enough to pour. The Eggsaminer, official publication of the co-operative egg association, says the greatest agricultural need of Oregon is organization of the dairy ana milk producers. LODGES HELP NEAR EAST RELIEF.

Neighbors of Woodcraft expeet to give this work assistance when they meet next Mon day evening. By Arthur Brisbane One Eye Wept. Nobody Knows Coolidge. Calamity Insurance. Preserve the Trees. When you fall from your glory, as the British Cardinal and the French Emperor discovered, it is a shart story. So with the fall of Dempsey. Reporters that acclaimed him, anj told just why Tunney could not win, say "Jack had one eye closed, and was crying with the other, as he lost his world championship." There is a lesson, of course. Aim at some result that cannot be taken from you, a championship in the things worth while. No one will take away Edison's championship. One hundred and fifty years ago, Nathan Hale was standing before a British firing squad and making' his famous last remark. President Cool idge says every chid should know by heart: "I regret that I have but one life to give for my country." Young gentlemen will note that Nathan Hale's championship is one that no Tunney could take from him. Many young men, unfortunately, are not interested in fame that pays no dividends. Bruce Barton, student of charac ter, adds one to his "men that no body knows." He spent an hour talk ing with President Coolidge, who said thist "As I now recall it, I had al ways rather hoped that I might keep store when I grew up." Little Calvin on the Vermont farm didn't yearn to be a policeman, rail road engineer, pirate, or President. Nobody even predicted that he would be President. He wanted to "keep store." And, "attractions being proportion ate to destinies," as Fourier says, President Coolidge is actually keep ing the biggest store in the world. He is general manager for Uncle Sam, champion wholesaler and retailer, in every line except flying machines. President Green, of the American Federation of Labor, says that "firm labor," or labor organizations built up within great employing corpora tions, and controlled by the corpora tions, are a meance to harmony be tween employers and employees. They . are certainly a threat against the whole labor union movment. But, if employers are intelligent enough to realize that good wages pay good dividends, what can organized labor do? Florida fruit growers lose' $5,000,- 000 in the tornado. 1,200,000 boxes cf grapefruit, 500,000 boxes of or nnges are included in official esti mates of the loss. Public relief contributions are praiseworthy, but insignificant in a less that runs into hundreds of mil lions. Could not the Government estab lish an insurance fund to meet such emergencies and make that fund re sponsible, under careful management for such miscalled "acts of God?" When Judge Gary took charge of United States Steel, he established a fund to do his own insuring, instead of paying out the money to insurance companies. He put into that fund what insurance would have cost and soon had $30,000,000 saved up for stockholders after meeting fire losses. The Government might ask Judge Gary to establish a "calamity insur ance fund" to take care of great dis asters, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes. California voters will pass upon a plan to exempt from taxation dur ing the growing period all lands new ly planted with trees in a campaign of reforestation. The plan should be approved in California and copied ill other states. Vigilance would be necessary to prevent fraud and prevent carrying prospective oil and mineral lands free of taxes, but honest administra tion would take care of that. I. L. PATTERSON TO BROADCAST. Portland, Ore., Oct. 14. Another radio address to the voters of Oregon his second during the present cam paign, will be broadcast from Port land by I. L. Patterson, republican nominee for governor, on the night of Monday, Oct. 18. Patterson will use station KOIN for this talk ar.d will speak for about 15 minutes at 9 p. m.
