NEW YEAR.
By JOHN CONDER.
Immemorial custom has celebrated
the first day of the year with festiv
als of a religious and social nature.
All the advanced nations of antiquity
cbserved New year's Day, but not all
on the same calender day. Among
many, the year began with the first
of March in the spring. The Ro
mans made it begin the first of Jan
uary in winter. It was late in the
rixteenth century that the latter date
became universal in all Christian
countries.
Following Christmas so closely,
New Year is not always observed as
separately and distinctly as might be
expected. Yet we all have the same
sentiments, that of old man Time
turning another page in the great
book of eternity. He Teads with a
grim and warning voice to the aged,
and softly whispers a lesson to the
young. He seems to ask of all if their
hands have found something of worth
to do, something that he can record
with a willing, ready hand, in this
Book of Time.
We can picture Father Time, quite
aged, calmly sitting where he can view
each New Year as it enters, and each
Old Year as it passes to the tolling
of bells, then the portals, that close
upon it forever more, hide it from
view. We may catch that rather wist
ful spirit as the old year leaves. He
has been a friend to us for a length
of time, and as we part from him it is
as a friend from a friend. Yet, as
the tolling of the bells for the old
year are still echoing in our hearts,
we see Father Time's face brighten,
There seems to surge within it a new
life and joy. A gleam of hope is
caught in his now radiant eyes. With
a cheery smile he welcomes the New
Year, one more of his many charges;
he starts with a grander, broader seal,
for the things untold in this new
year; he unravels each succeeding
oay, winding up the hopes that he
within.
Now, another milestone has beer
leached on the way to active life, we
are that much nearer the goal. We
may have been tossed about in our
bark on life's deep crested ocean, but
now we have gained this new and fast
forming New Year. We watch the
interchanging of the new and the old,
as they part, lingering on thoughts
of time. Let us hope that wisdom's
precious grains of sand have run sue
cessfully thru Time's hour-glass, and
finds us ready to take up our work of
life, with renewed determination to
put our best efforts into whatever we
undertake during the ensuing year.
Time is fleeting. We will never see
these same moments again, so it is
little wonder we are rather reluctant
to see them depart, but with the gay
spirit of the future ni store for us,
we can heartily greet the advancing
New Year.
Wednesday evening, December 22,
the Heppnerian Literary society met
at the Erwin ranch where they made
candy. The clatter of pans and egg
beaters could be heard from about
8:00 o'clock until 10:30 when the
members were well pleased with the
amount of good candy which they
had been sucecssful in making. None
of the candy was stolen ' although
there was a slight commotion when
someone noticed a car pass the house,
dim the lights, turn around and come
back to the house where they stopped.
The candy was taken inside and the
visitors soon left. Eight dollar was
taken in as a result of the sale on
Thursday afternoon.
A number of the Arion Literary
society met at the home of Stephen
Thompson Wednesday evening for the
purpose of making small high school
pennants. These pennants are about
four inches long and are made from
the hgih school colors with the letter
H on them. They were sold to the
students Thursday afternoon for ten
cents apiece and are expected to be
worn at the basketball games and
other places where lots of school spir
it should be shown.
Christmas Program Given.
The theme of the story "The Other
Wise Man," by Henry Van Dyke, was
pantomimed by members of the Arion
and Heppnerian Literary societies
last Thursday at the high school audi
torium. This was given in place of
the usual form of entetrainment, and
following that the Booster Club girls
gave a little skit of a more humor
ous nature. The cast of the panto
mime was as follows:
Artaban, the other wise man
Marvin Gammell
The Three Wise Men
Marvin Wightman, Orrin Bisbee
and Clarence Hayes.
The Shepherds, Paul Jones, Kenneth
Oviatt and Harlan Devin.
Mary Louise Thomson
Joseph Stephen Thompson
The Woman and Child
Leatha Hiatt and Doll
The Girl Ethel Moore
Sick Man John Parker
Soldiers Captain, Terrel Benge
Paul Hisler.
Angels, Marjorie Clark, Ethel
Hughes and Mae Doherty.
Artaban, a wise man, or magi, was
holding council with three of his
friends, and it was decided that on a
certain day a star, more bright and
larger than any other star would ap
pear in the heavens, and this would
be the sign of the birth of a new
king. Artaban decided to go with the
three other wise men to the place
where the king was to be born, but
as he lived in a different part of the
country he would have to travel quite
a distance to meet them. It was de
cided, then, that they would meet at
an oasis in the desert, and all travel
together. Artaban sold all of his be
longings and invested them in a ruby,
a pearl and a sapphire which he would
give the new-born king.
He started out on the day set for
his departure, and traveled a long
way. He had but a hmitec time, he
knew, in which to reach the appointed
place at the appointed hour, so ha
pushed his good horse Vasda on with
all her strength, endeavoring to make
it on time. Along in the evening of
the third day he noticed, upon coining
to a little oasis, that Vasda was act
ing very queerly. Finally she stopped
under a palm tree and Artaban dis
mounted. There he saw a sick man
and upon looking at him he decided
the man was dead. He took the hand
of the man, but when he loosened it
it dropped back inertly on the sunk
en breast. Artaban knew he could
do nothing for the man so he started
tc leave. As he did so, the man grasp
ed the hem of his robe and stayed
him. Artaban knelt to the ground
and ministered to the man. He knew
that if he went on, the man would
die. On the other hand, if he stayed
the man would undoubtedly live, but

he would miss the wise men and they
would go on without him. He could
not let the man die, so he aided him
t recover from the fever which was
ravishing his brain, then told the man
that he must go on. The man, who
was but a poor wanderer, nad no
food, so Artaban left his food with
him. Then he was told that the King
was not to be born in Jerusalem, but
in Bethlehem.
Artaban travelled over the desert
until he came to a small village.
There he spent his sapphire to replen
ish his larder so that he might travel
on. His first gift was gone, and he
had missed the wise men. With de
spair in his heart he again set out
and when he came to the appointed
place he found a note from the wise
men. They had gone on.
The scene changes to the manger
in Bethlehem, where we find the three
wise men presenting their gifts of
gold, frankincense and myhrr. They
had arrived in time to see the King,
hut Artaban Artaban was far away.
Then a proclamation was sent out
by King Herod, ordering all children
of two years old and under to be
killed. Mary and Joseph hastened to
Egypt with the baby and stayed there
until Herod died.
Artaban, meanwhile, had reached
Bethlehem, and had asked for lodging
at the house of a woman and a cnild.
Here, the woman told Artaban that
Mary and Joseph had taken the Christ
child and fled, no one knew where.
Artaban was grieved for had he not
travelled this long way to worship
his King? But he could not grieve
for long, for out in the streets he
heard the soldiers of the king pass
ing by. The woman feared for the
life of her child and ran to hide him.
Artaban stayed in the room, and the
Human soldiers came to the house,
brandishing their swords and looking
for a child. They did not come in,
however, for Artaban blocked the
doorway, and held in his hand the
ruby which he said he was waiting
to give to the one who would go and
leave him in peace. He told the
captain that he was alone, so the cap
tain took the jewel from Artaban's
hand. Another jewel was gone, which
Artaban had intended for the Christ
child. The soldiers moved. on, and
Artaban sat in a chair, broken-hearted
over the falsehood he had told, and
over the fact that but one jewel re
mained which he could give to the
King. As he sat there the woman
came in, and thanking him, she said:
"May the Lord bless thee and keep
thee; the Lord make his face to shine
upon thee, and be gracious unto thee;
the Lord lift up his countenance upon
thee, and give thee peace."
Again the scene changes, and we
find Artaban coming to Jerusalem at
the time of the pass-over. He was
an old, broken man, and for thirty
four years he had hunted and served
the king, but he had never seen him.
He had gone about serving him by
doing good, and everyone who needed
aid was ministered to by him. There
was a great crowd in the streets, and
as Artaban passed he asked some one
hat it was all about. He was told
that two thieves were that day to be
crucified, and with them one who
called himself Jesus, the King of the
Jews. The words fell upon Artaban's
tired soul, and he thought, "Can this
be He?"
Then his attention was drawn to a
young girl who was being dragged
away by some men. Artaban asked
what the matter was and the girl told
him that she was to be sold into
slavery because she had not enough
money to pay her father's debtB. Ar
taban took the pearl, which was the
inly remaining jewel which his be
loved king should have received, and
handed it to the man. As he turned
to walk on, a beam from the bfiilding
under which he stood fell and hit the
rid man on the temple. He fell to
the ground and the young girl knelt
beside him. Artaban was dying, and
as he told the girl that he had not
long to live, he also wept bitterly be
cause now he would never see his
king. As he spoke a voice, very faint
end far away, came to him. And he
answered. Again the voice came, and
this time the girl heard it.
"Even as ye have done it unto the
least of these, my brethern, ye have

done it unto me." The other wise man
had found his king.
The Booster club girls presented a
skit to the assembly, and although
no words were spokon the meaning
as well brought out.
Dorothy Herren, as Erma Schulz,
was receiving callers. She was seat
ed on a settee reading a True Story
magazine, when she heard a knock at
the door. She went to receive the
caller. It was Gertrude Doherty,
dressed as Fletcher Walker. They
sat down and proceeded to chew the
um which he had brought. Another
knock came at the door and Erma hid
Fletcher under the settee. She then
went to the door to receive Velton
Owens, as Red Bramer. They went in
and sat dovjn. He handed her a box of
candy, then put his arms about her.
No sooner done than another knock.
Erma put Red near the settee as a
trunk. Then she went to the door.
It was Leatha Hiatt as Claud Conder.
They went over and sat down, and
were just becoming well settled when
another knock was heard. Erma
jumped up and stood Claud by the
door as a hatrack. She straightened
her dress, and went to the door. In
came Laura Williams, as Marvin Gam
mell. Marvin hung his hat on the hat
rack and went over to sit down. Er
ma came and sat on his lap. Another
knock was heard. Erma placed Mar
'. in as an arm chair, and went to the
door. This time it was Katherine
Bisbee dressed as Jack Casteel. Jack
gave Erma a large bottle of perfume,
then sat in the arm chair. It, of
course fell with him, so he got up and
sat on the settee. They were just
going to smell the perfume when an
other knock sounded at the door. Er
ma placed Paul, as a stand-table and
set the perfume on his back. She
'hen went to the door and in came
Elizabeth Elder as Harlan Devin and
behind her she pulled a preacher.
Louise Thomson. A hurried entry
was made with the preacher stum
bling and out of breath. Harlan
grabbed Erma and the preacher open
ed his i Bible. They marched off the
i'tage p af wedding march and the
oth'er callers were astounded as they
all looked at the happy pair making
their exit.

should be within easy reach of pro
Juce markets, labor supply and build

"As for climate and atmospheric
conditions," Marshall's report con
cludes, "practically every locality in
Eastern Oregon that is proposed as a
site for the hospital, is suitable for
the purpose. They have plenty of
sunshine, plenty of fresh air free
from industrial smoke, and an equ
able climate."
1927 Wheat Nurseries.
(Morrow County Extension Service News.)
Winter grain nurseries for 1927
have been planted by the County
Agent and the Moro Experiment Sta
tion. These nurseries were planted
in October 25, on the Homer Green
place just west of Eight Mile store,
and on the old Cecil Warner place,
now being farmd by Harry Duvall, on
the market road northeast of Lexing
ton. Over 45 varieties of winter
wheats, introducing a number of the
new smut-resistant wheats, especial
ly the Hybrid 128 crossed with White
Odessa selections, have been put out.
One of these selections made by the
Washington Experiment Station, at
Pullman, has been named Albit and is
being distributed by the Station there
in a small way this Fall. .
In addition to the winter wheats,
winter barleys were planted in each
of the nurseries, checking on yield
of winter barleys and its possibilities
in different sections of the county.
In the Eight Mile nursery, 15 of the
best pure line selections of Fortyfold
that have been tested out for the past
three years were planted. Some of
these Fortyfold selections showed very
much promise and indicate that an
improvement can be made by this
method in Fortyfold. The following
were the varieties of winter grains
planted in the nurseries:

HOSPITAL NEEDS
State Board of Control
Making Second Tour of
Eastern Oregon.
"Many complicating factors enter
into the choice of a location for a
tuberculosis sanatorium," according
to Jamieson Marshall, New York ar
chitect and sanatorium advisor who
is accompanying the Oregon Board of
Control on a second trip into Eastern
Oregon this week to study proposed
sites for the new tuberculosis hos
pital. "These factors have come to
be recognized through the combined
experience of many sanatoria in the
United States and other countries,"
said Marshall in presenting his pre
liminary reprot to the board of con
trol. "A particular site," says Marshall's
report, "may have several advantages
and yet be rendered utterly useless
by the lack of one or two of these
vital factors. For example, a site may
have everything in the way of water
supply, sewage disposal facilities,
pure air, accessibility, etc., but the
lay of the land may be such that the
cost of preparing the site for the hos
pital buildings would be prohibitive.
Oi again, a site may be easy to build
upon and have every other advantage
except that it is too far from a cen
ter of population, where the staff and
employees of the hospital could find
recreation when off duty, and where
medical consultants would be avail
able at short notice This would ren
der the site almost useless because
nurses and workers would refuse to
come there, or would quickly leave.
"Some of the deciding factors in
the choice of a location for a tuber
culosis hospital are: Sufficient area
of level or gently sloping ground, to
provide for the buildings with plenty
of space around them to prevent en
croachment of other buildings, soil
fertile enough for grass and shrub
bery, protection from disagreeable
winds, pleastant view, an abundant
rid pure water supply (about 35,000
gallons per day for a 100-bed hospital,
to provide for all emergencies), elec
tricity for light and power, sewer
connections and available fuel sup
ply at low cost,
"Besides these factors, one must
consider the character of the sur
rounding community. The hospital
should be at a comfortable distance
.'rom industrial plants and railway
tracks to avoid noise and smoke. It
should not be close to a peniten
tiary, or infirmary or a home for
defectives because of the stigma that
is likely to attach to patients in a
hospital so located. It should be near
Enough to a center of population so
that the staff and employees can find
recreation, and so that emergency
medical service can be had on short

Harry Pearcy, a mint grower of the
Salem district, says there are a good
many acres of mint around Salem, and
more will be set out. He says most
of the growers are well satisfied so
far, but that there is some question
about the future of the industry. "I
believe the answer is whether Oregon
or Michigan can grow it the cheaper,"
he says.
During November 38 predatory ani
mal hunters in Oregon took 389 coy
