Operetta News.
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."

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,

Washington's Birthday Program,
Through the courtesy of Mr. La
Dusire of the City garage the hign
school with the seventh and eighth
grades heard President Coolidge's
speech over the radio on Washing
ton's birthday. 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.

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
