SALUTE STARTS GAME
Lexington Air Game Fails Against
Heppner's Strong Defense; Teams
Evenly Matched.
(Heppnerian Sports Rcportjr.)
On the eighth anniversary of the
putting aside of arms, commemorat
ing Armistice Day, the Lexington and
Tieppncr High school football teams
n.et on the local gridiron to determine
their supremacy, featured with a keen
but friendly rivalry.
This game, as those of the patt,
caused intense interest to bo shown
by hoth schools and their iespeciie
C'iniiiHiiiities.
The day was fittingly observed by
the tiring of a sulute followed by the
singing of the Star Spangled Banner,
just preceding the initial kick-off.
According to the previous records
made by th two teams this year,
Lexington stood high favorite to win
the fray. However, the Heppner team
had made much improvement both on
defense and offense, the result be
ing that neither team had any decided
advantage over the other; the play
waging evenly back and forth, but
never coming nearer to either goal
than the twenty-yard line.
The highly touted Lexington aerial
game failed to penetrate the light
but aggressive backfield. Lexington
made but slight yardage through the
line, netting most by the passes
which they completed. Hcppner's
chief attack was through the center
and off-tackles, gaining but little via
the air-route or around ends. The
game was featured by clean, fast,
spirited, consistent football, there
being but few fumbles to mar the
game and no incidents to create an
tagonism. In the punting, Sherer of
Lexington had quite an advantage
over Hisler of Heppner, the latter
being hurried in his attempts by the
fast charging Lexingtonians.
Heppner winning the toss chose the
west goal so as to have the wind in
their favor. Lexington elected to re
ceive. The ball was downed on about
the 30-yard line. Lexington opened
up with their aerial attack, but the
Heppner bflcks were on the alert, and
(.topped all of them, giving the locals
the ball on Lexington's 35-yard line.
The ball hung in the balance the rest
of the quarter.
The second quarter was somewhat
similar to the first in that neither
team could get within scoring dis
tance of their opponent's goal, except
when Sherer tried a place-kick from
the 30-yard line, but failed to make
it good. With about four minutes to
go, Heppner substituted Bramer for
Hisler who punted Heppner out of
danger. Lexington again started to
puss, attempting six, completing three
and bringing the ball to the 25-yard
line. Half ended with the ball in
Heppner territory. Heppner held
them for downs and got the ball just
before the time was up.
Between halves the rooters formed
a long line and serpentined around
the gridiron giving both school's
yells.
Heppner kicked off again in the
tccond half, and held Lexington for
the down, Heppner then starting a
flashy march down the field to be
stopped by the spirited rally of the
Lexingtonians. It was Lex's turn to
start its march down the field, the
third quarter ending with the ball
in possession of the Lexington team
in mid-field.
The fourth period was a close rep
etition of the third, displaying more
fight by both teams, if such were pos
sible. The game ended with the ball
in Heppner's possession on the 35
yard line, following a punt by Lex
ington. The Lexington team was a formid
able aggregation, displaying a clear,
sportsmanlike type of football. Nei
ther team showed any individual or
spectacular playing.

Fire Destroys Cecil Home
and Contents Last Night
By the explosion of a gasoline lamp
at 10:30 last night, the residence on
the Curtis place near Cecil, occupied
by Lawrence Funk ni family, was
totally destroyed, togehter with all
the contents. The family automobile
in the garage near by was burned,
another car that had been left in the
yard by a neighbor, and the sedan of
Mrs. Vivian Kane, left there fallowing
the accident to the machine a couple

Mr. Funk was absent at Wasco, and
Mrs. Funk and litlte daughter and
two neighbor girls, alone at the house,
were powerless to cope with the

Representative Here Past
Week to Interest People
in County Program.
Heppner and Morrow county points
were visited the past week by Miss
Mary Jane Dustin, representing the
state library at Salem. Miss Dustin
completed arrangements for a return
trip to the county early in December.
In the meantime a committee repre
senting the various fraternal and
civic organizations of the town will
consider the local library question
nnd make an effort to organize a lo

bodies which each represents.
Miss Dustin met with people in the
Boardman area Wednesday afternoon
and with the Irrigon grangers Wed
nesday evening. This work is a part
of the general field work being car
ried on by the state library at this
time.
The state library worker, is eager
for every person in Morrow county to
know about the various phases of
service which the state institution
can offer to its patrons. Books are
loaned to any person in the state of
Oregon free of charge for a four
week period, transportation only be

BETTER POWER
SERVICE ASSURED
The last issue of the Condon Globe
Times contains the following item in
regard to changes in power and light
service to be made in the immediate
future, as a result of the purchase
of the Condon, Heppner and Sherman
electric companies by the Pacific
Power and Light interests:
Acquisition of the Sherman Electric
company, the Heppner Light & Water
company, and the Condon Electric
company, three oragnizations serving
north central Oregon with power, by
the Inland Power & Light company,
was announced Saturday by Guy W.
Talbot, president of -the Pacific Pow
er & Light company, an affiliated or
ganization. Coincident with the announcement
of the purchase of the properties,
which involves approximately $300,
000, Talbot stated a high tension line
extending from De Most to Olex, a
distance of 25 miles, would be erected.
Plans are now being considered, he
said, for the construction of a high
tension line from Olex to Arlnigton
at some time in the near future.
Purchase of the three companies,
announced today, gives the Inland
Power & Light company a network of
lines extending throughout central
Oregon north of Bend. The estimated
load on the lines of the three com
panies purchased is 2400 horsepower.
At present the Sherman Electric
company has been purchasing power
from the Pacific Power & Light com
pany, and the purpose of the lines to
Olex, Condon and lone will be to ex
tend this power service throughout
the territory servd by the three com
panies, giving them 24-hour continu
ous service.
Talbot stated the power plants at
Heppner and Condon would be reha
bilitated with modern machinery and
used merely as stand-by plants in the
event of interruption on the' main
feeder lines.
"This extension of service will be a
benefit to the people served by the
three absorbed companies," Talbot
stated. "They will have the benefit
of the entire power system of the In
land company, which has sufficient
reserve to place the power where it is
most needed."
Families of Hodsdon
District Enjoy Reunion
A reunion of four families of the
Hodsdon district was held at the home
of Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Clark on Sun
day last. The tne members of these
families were all present on this oc
casion, it being the first time in an
interval of ten years, and they thor
oughly enjoyed one of those most
splendid meals that Mrs. Clark is
noted for serving.
Those present were Mr. and Mrs.
W. L. Copenhaver, Mr. and Mrs. Claud
White and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. R.
B. Rice and Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Clark.
These pepole were all neighbors in
years gone by, but Mr. and Mrs. Rice
and Mr. and Mrs. Clark had been ab
sent from the community for several
years. They are now back on their
respective farms and once more a part
of the Hodsdon community. The
guests left hoping that this was the
beginning of such pleasant social
events as would occur frequently for
a number of years to come as these
good people associate together in the
affairs of their district.

T
ESTIMATE GIVEN
Supt. Burgess Presents
Matter at Luncheon
Club Meet.
The question of whether or not the
taxpayers of School District No. 1 will
in the near future endorse a move
ment looking to the construction of a
gymnasium and auditorium ,for the
use of the school, is one that is be
ginning to loom up.
There has been agitation for soms
time, and the need of this sort of
building for the use of the Heppner
schools is becoming more manifest all
the while.
In order that there might be a bet
ter understanding just at this time
Supt. James M. Burgess presented the
matter from the point of view of the
faculty at the meeting of the Lun
cheon club on Monday, and his pro
posals were well received by that
body, who are now earnestly consid
ering just what would be the best
way to proceed. According to Mr.
Burgess it will require at least $20,000
to construct the building and place
therein the proper equipment, and
the best way of getting the funds, in
his opinion, is a bond issue in this
amount, on the serial basis, and cov
ering a period of ten years, payable
at the rate of $2,000 per year. Inter
est on the several bonds at 6 would
amount to $120 per year, plus inter
est on remaining issue; or in other
words would average about $2300 per
year. This would call for a levy of
1.7 mills each year on the assessed
valuation of property within the dis
trict, or $1.70 per $1000.
This is the plan suggested at pres
ent, and it is desired that the mat
ter be thoroughly gone into and un
derstood by the voters of the district.
If a better plan of getting the neces
sary funds can be presented, it should
call for the hearty support of the elec
torate, as the need for such a build
ing on the school grounds is not ques
tioned by anyone who has taken the
time to give it thought. Full plans
will soon be brought out, and Mr.
Burgess hopes to have these in shape
vithin the next few days.
MUCH LOCAL INTEREST IN
NATIONAL ESSAY CONTEST
School children of this locality will

High School Football
Team Banquet Guests
The high school football squad, with
a number of others, making a com
pany of some 28 or 30, was right roy
ally banquetted at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John Wightman on Wednes
day evening. Mrs. Wightman and
Mrs. R. L. Benge were hostesses, and
there was set before the students a
turkey feed fit for a king.
The way that the pigskin artists
tackled that feed was not slow, and
if they have not so far this season
been able to carry off the laurels of
victory in the Beveral games played,
they surely won out big and made
proper yardage and kicked the goals
artistically in their engagement with
the viands spread before them. The
boys pronounce the engagement a
complete success from every point of
view and are excessive in their praise
of the splendid treat given them by
their hostesses.
FRIENDS CALL ON NEWLYWEDS.
On Sunday evening last, between
90 and 100 friends and neighbors
gathered at the home of Robert All
stott, Jr., at Eight Mile, to give Mr.
Allstott and his bride a royal wel
come. The preliminaries of the visit
took on the form of a charivari and
there was music to the tune of tin
cans and cow bells galore, when the
company was invited into the house
and administered abundant hospitality
atter the usual Allstott fashion, all
being made to feel right at home. An
abundance of treats was then passed
and repassed. These consisted of can
dy, nuts, and cigars for the smokers.
A very pleasant evening was spent,
the departing guests feeling that they
had abundantly and properly wel
comed Mr. and Mrs. Allstott, and
wished them a long, happy and pros
perous journey through life.
The marriage of Robert Allstott, Jr.,
to Miss Dona Ritchie of lone took
place at that city on Saturday. Mr.
Allstott is the eldest son of Mr. and
Mrs. R. E. Allstott of Rhea creek and
ir. a successful young farmer of the
Eight Mile section, and the bride is
a charming young lady of lone where
she has resided all her life. Con

It is the plan of Supt. Burgess to
purchase for the library very shortly
a collection of government documents
and have them listed in the library.
They are to be purchased from the
various departments and will em
brace such subjects as are of interest
to various classes of the high school.
This is a feature that not many librar
ies contain. It is interesting to note
that the school has on hand about
twelve leaves of extremely rare books
which have been loaned to it by the
society of Foliophiles of New York
with the understanding that a selec
tion is to be purchased from the
group to be placed in the school li
brary. Mr. Burgess states that such
a selection will be made in the near
future. Among the collection are
leaves of old Arabic manuscripts, one
leaf from the Koran of Mohammed,
and several leaves from old Bibles,
some being six to seven or eight hun
dred years old. These are the orig
inal leaves, not duplicates or copies.
Such of these as are retained will be
framed and hung on the walls of the
library.
UNION THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
The churches of the city will hold
union Thanksgiving services at All
Saints Episcopal church at 10:00 a.
m., Thursday, Nov. 25. There will be
special music by united choirs.
"O praise the Lord, for it is a good

Three Cheers for Labor.
The Low Cost of 2-Year-Olds.
Complete Immersion.
140 Years Young.
Mr. Green, head of the AmeTcian
Federation of Labor, heaven bless
him, declares that labor wants a pow
erful navy, that the United States
may be properly defended and ready
for trouble.
Workmen would be worse than fool
ish to want a nation unprepared, since
they bear the brunt when fighting
comes. Big fellows display their pa
triotism by making a fat profit in
war. Little fellows get shot, gassed,
diseased, etc.
Mr. Green and his Federation of
Labor will no doubt advocate the
right kind of preparedness. A great
battle fleet in the air, another below
the water. Submarines to destroy en
my ships as they come; airplanes to
beat off airships, sink enemy mer
chantmen and war vessels. Those are
the things this country needs.
To be too fat doesn't necessarily
mean over-eating. Often it means de
fective metabolism, imperfect elimin
ation. A prisoner fed on bread and
water for two weeks gained three
pounds. The bread and water diet
put his system to work.
Mothers and fathers should be in
terested in the fact that tuberculosis .
is increasing among girls. Girls
starve themselves to keep thin and
tuberculosis germs attack a weak
body with insufficient blood supply.
The responsibility is with parents
that lose control of their children,
beyond retaining the honor of paying
their bills. ,
Human beings cost money to raise
and many are not worth it all, the
imperfect being all preserved, and
children of the ablest made Worthiest
by their fathers money success.
California's State Board of Health
says a two-year-old baby costs less
per day than at any other age less
sickness than at any time, less ex
pense in other ways.
From two to twenty years the cost
steadily rises. After sixty it falls
off fewer teeth eat less, clothes last
longer, life runs quietly and nonsense
is calming down.
All interesting, but the State Board
does not tell us why we live at all, or
why it was necessary to put us here
in the first place. 4
The Reverend Dr. Straton, ardent
fundamentalist, objects to the Rev
erend Dr. Fosdick, who doesn't believe
Joshua once stopped the sun in its
journey around the earth, possibly
because the sun doesn't go around the
earth.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., sits under
Dr. Fosdick. So that Rev. Straton
attacks Mr. Rockefeller for not be
lieving that every Baptist should be
baptised all the way up to the top of.
his head and a little higher.
Mr. Rockefeller might reply, but
doesn't that he is building apartments
to rent at reasonable prices to those
that can't afford high prices. That
every apartment has its bath, so every
tenant can enjoy complete immersion
three times a day. Dr. Fosdick will
tell Dr. Straton that complete immer
sion was. more important in old days.
when nobody had a bathtub, and some
body had to set the good example.
Irving Fisher, Yale professor, bets
$10 to that this will be a nation of
octogenarians by the end of the cen
tury. That prediction is no exaggeration.
Men, one day, will live habitually to
be 140 years. But with a life average
of eighty years only, it will be nec
essary to revise various things, in
cluding the age at which men marry.
Population would soon become un
weildly if a race of octogenarians
married at twenty or twenty-five
years of age and went on having chil
dren for half a century. Nature, how
ever, would find a way to take care of
that. She always does.
ON THE UPGRADE.
Bie-prer and better la n vnnA mnttn
and growth is a pretty sure sign of
lire. Therefore we rejoice in the
healthy growth of the Christian Bible
