The three acta of the operetta take place in Persia, in the garden of Perunah, the Shah. Ted Harding and Billy Cummintrs, American mining engineers, accompanied by their col ored body servant, Sam, come to Persia to work the Shah's gold mine. Ted falls in love with Zohdah, the Shah's daughter, and Billy with Loh lah, Zohdah's friend, while Nowober, Zehdah's old nurse, pursues Sam, much to his discomfiture, thinking him her affinity in some other incar nation. The Shah has other plans for Zoh dah's future and returns with Some craba, an Arab Sheik, whom he wish es Zohdah to marry. As the story unfolds the Sheik turns out to be flying under false colors, having been compelled to ab dicate his throne. The Shah finds this out in time and orders the Sheik away, at the same time throwing Ted, Billy and Sam in prison because of their continued attentions to Zohdah Lohlah and Nowabeh. Nowobeh makes the Shah see that by keeping the Americans in prison he is defeating his own plans in op erating his rich gold mine, and to he is persuaded to give his consent to the weddings. As Ted says, "All's well that ends veil and yon may soon expect invita tions to a triple wedding in the Gar den of the Shah." Being elsewhere occupied, Marjorie Clark is unable to accompany the op eretta at the piano and John Conder has been chosen for the task. All the choruses, both boys and girls, wear Persian, costumes hroughout the piece. The principles wear distinguishing costumes of brightly colored material. If you can get a mental picture of the pleasing scene this group will present, you will not fail to see this all-star group perform. Sam thinks he is in a booby-hatch when he sees the varied colors of the company, but we know you wlil un derstand, and enjoy it immensely. o Debate Given in the Grades. The fifth and sixth grades comem orated Washington's birthday by de bating on the following question: "Resolved that Lincoln did more for his country than Washington." The fifth grade team consisting of Anna belle Turner, Francis Nickerson and Billy Farley upheld the affirmative, while the sixth grade with Gladys Erwin, Delia Ulrich, and Billy Becket upheld the negative. The negative won by a unanimous decision. o The next teachers meeting will be held Monday the 28th. Miss Case will have charge of the meeting and has chosen as her topic, "Health in School and Out." o Miss Pearson's mother was a vis itor here last week from her home in La Grande. Banquet Given Debaters. Friday night the debaters of Hepp ner high school were horored with a banquet by the mothers of the fresh man debate team, Mrs. Bisbee, Mrs. Swindig, Mrs. Porker, Mrs. Beamer and Mrs. Walker. Long white tables were placed in the basement of the school where the quests were seated soon after they arrived at 6:30 oclock. An appro priate decoration in honor of Wash ington was the beautiful centerpiece of pussy willows and miniature flags. Delightful place cards of tiny red and biuc hacnets, as well as the cherry cocktail, tended to remind one of the first president of the United States. The four course dinner was becom- i-.icly served by four of th esub-frcsh- man trrils who wore chic lace aprons and caps. The "waitresses" who were Doris Hiatt, Zella icr"hemn, Wini fred Thomson, and Louise Langdon, proved very adept, serving the cours es in a manner of which more exper- enced waitresses would have been proved. Covers were laid for M people. The menu consisted of fruit cock tail, chicken, mashed potatoes, green peas, salad, ice cream and cake. Speeches were called for by Mar, vin Gammell, toastmaster. ihose who responded with oasts were Ger ald Slocum, giving the student's ver sion of school debate, Mrs. Benmer who gave a short talk typifying the mother's appreciation of debate, Mr, Walker, who spoke for hte fathers, and Miss Pearson who gave the teach er s idea of the value of debate. Those present were Mr. and Mrs, James M. Burgess, Miss Fishel, Miss Pearson, Miss W rgiht, Mis Murray, Marjorie Clark, urnn Bibee, Mary Ritchie, Marvin Gammell, Gerald Slo cum, Mae Doherty, Claude Conder, Dorothy Herren, Margaret Notson Terrel Benge, Clarence Hayes, Kath crine Bisbee, Fletcher Walker, John Parker, Mary Beamer, Evelyn Swin dig, Mesdames Walker, Beamr, Bis bee, Swindig, Messrs.

The students appre ciated hearing the president speak before the huge crowd in the House and the army music and applause made it even more realistic. After the speech Ethel Hughes gave a read ing and Audrey Beymer read a paper about Washington. Mary Ritchie sang, "How Betsy Koss wane ine Flag." These songs and readings were given by the Heppnerian Literary so ciety. "America" sung by the stu dents completed the program. the basis of patronage. Outlook la Disappointing. The U. S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics reports that farm condi tions do not look any too good for his year unless there is conservation in crop acreage. The snarp slump in cotton, grain and fruit prices has reduced the purchasing power of ex tensive regions the report states. This is a point that is often overlooked. If the middle west cannot sell its corn at a pront ana tne soutnern states lose money on cotton produc tion, then these states are out of the purchasing market for anything but actual necessities. This reacts on the manufacturing industries in the way of curtailing production and re duced demand for labor. The surplus problem and the instability of the present price system hold back gen- enal prosperity. Where Co-Operation Counts. Petaluma, the Egg City of Califor nia, has a splendid forking system of general co-operation, usder which an industry has grown to the enor mous proportions of 9,000,000 laying hens. The poultrymen in this com munity work in the closest co-operation, rather than in the keenest com petition. If one has trouble with his flock or if disease breaks out, all his neighbors will come to his aid, yet at the same time they insist that a poul tryman shall get onto the job to pre vent such troubles and if he does not, then they insist that he get out. All tht producers buy their feedt coUec ively, which are delivered at their ioors and they all sell through a cen tral organization. As a result of this close co-operation Petaluma has a nation-wide reputation. What is the Solution? A farmer from Eastbrook, Coos county, asks for a solution to this problem : "If the standard of the U. S. is now so high that surplus farm products, grown without profit to the farmer, are yet so high in price that Europe and Asia refuse to buy them, what will be the final result to the American farmer?" Miss Shirley Jarmon, Robert Jar mory Frank Carlson and Otis Mc Carty, Jr., all seniors of Pine City school, went Thursdny as delegates to the Educational convention at O. A. A. at Corvallis. Dee Neill otok them down in his car. They expect to re- lurn nome monaay evening. cciiu Cor. in Pendleton E. O. Grammar School Takes Victory.

Margaret Frye of the third grade celebrated her ninth birhtday Tues day by treating each of her class mates to a piece of her delicious birthday cake and an all-day sucker. The children told conundrums while they were enjoying the delightful re freshments. o Joy and Harold Erwin were absent from school last week because of the "flu." Mrs. Miller was up from The Dalles to visit her daughter, Miss Esta Mill er, who is a member of the high school faculty. Miss Miller, who was a victim of the "flu" last week, resumed her du ties Monday. Heppner Defeated. Heppner was defeated in both games of basketball played last week.

Vivian Cason (in geography class): You may wander in the United States, but you must go to Italy to Rome. o Edith Elizabeth Vance has been promoted this week from the 2nd A class to the 3rd B. NEWS NOTES FROM STATE MKT. AGENT Limiting Production by Law, Will the time come when limita tion of staple farm products will be accomplished by law? There is al ready national discussion of the pro posal and bills are now before one or more state legislatures of the southern cotton-growing states to this end. It would seem that state control of acreage would not be practical or beneficial from the fact that if one state restricted acreage and an ad joining state did not, where would be the benefit? Crop surplus is a nation al problem and if limiting acreage is a solution it would have to be applied to all states and to all staple crops. Washington would be the logical place for such legislation to start. Co-Operative Oil Buying. In 1922 a group of farmers organ ized a co-operative oil company in Linn county, Minn. This organization was a success from the start and a result is that 45 co-operative organi sations in southern Minnesota are now buying gasoline and lubricating oils collectively. Now a central or ganization will act as purchasing agent for all the organizations and the movement is extending rapidly. A limited interest rate is paid on the capital stock, and after setting aside a sinking fund, the balance of the profit is prorated to the members on S'MATTER POP by c. m. payne US MEN MUST STICK TOGETHER JSJLWk n. 1 to6e-t4 o&os) yrPorP,r?orpi -Act lih-e not4n6 V 1 W IVjillVum J t-1 -H7-peKie.-D y A Guy Who Was Jinxed AP E D D L E R came to town the other day who never got an order.
