PLAMD BY SCHDQ Legion and Auxiliary Enjoy Pleasant Party The American Legion Auxiliary met on Tuesday evening, May 3, with 35 )n attendance. The members of the Post were guests. Four new mem rers were initiated. We very much regretted that the fifth was unable to be present. We now need only one more member to complete tha quota assigned us for this year, and hope we may secure that one before convention time. The officers put on the initiatory work in a very creditable manner, all having their parts well memorized Mrs. J. D. Bauman, who is chair nan of the Fidac Committee, read a splendid paper on the history and aims of the Fidac organization. Mrs. Cohn, chairman of the Hospi tal Committee, read a very appre ciative letter from Mrs. Weber, thanking the Unit for the generous check sent to "Sparky" Enders for his scarf. We had the pleasure of listening to an instructive talk by Professor Burgess on the history of govern ment, taking it from the very be ginning, and showing how our own government has been developed. He 1'ointed out the fact that our nation has made a comparatively rapid rise to fame and superiority among na tions. The Unit certainly owes Mr. Burgess a vote of thanks for giving us this interesting talk. Harold Cohn, just returned from a trip to Portland, told of stopping at Hood River to attend a big Le fcion meeting of 150 Lcgionnaireo on Monday evening. Arthur Murphy, state commander; Carl Moser, state ndjutant; Kenneth Cooper, regional director of the veteran's bureau, and Dr. Scliwackhammer, who is in chr.rge of veteran's hospital No. 77, were at this meeting. There was also a meeting of the American Legion Aux iliary at the same time, and Harold suid he was much impressed by the spirit of close cooperation between the Legicn and Auxiliary. He 'aid he never fully understood the work of the Auxiliary until he heard it so well explained by Mr. Cooper, who Reid in part that the government has authorized the expenditure of over $1,000,000 for the disabled veterans in the state of Oregon. This supplies the bore necessities, all regulation material, such as bandages, etc. Any ihing apart frcm this ii supplied by the Auxiliaries. Mr. Cooper said that he had learned that no man can ade quately supply hospitalization, that these extra comforts need the touch of a woman's hand. He said the in fluence which the Auxiliaries hnve over these veterans is plainly shown on visiting day, wnen the whole mor ale of the hospital is rcvivtd because the inmates feel there is someone who is personally interested in them. This again is noticeable in the slump which conies on the day alter visit ing day Both Dr. Schwackhammer and Mr. Cooper urged and invited anyone interoNt;d to visit and inspect the hospital at any time they might be in Portland. Harold hid the pleasure of meet ing Mrs. Herschner, the state prer- u!ent of the American Legion Auxil- ary, who sent her kindest regards to the Unit at Heppner and expressed her thanks for the work we have done. After the business meeting, appet izing refreshments were served by the following hostesses: Carolyn Johnston, Vivian Kane, L'ucile Mc Atee and Frances Morse. A delight ful evening closed with the members grouped about the piano joining in singing the old war songs which were so popular 10 years ago. . Secretary. Telephone Officials Make Hpppner Visit R.

Appointment of Miss DeLoris Pearson of the Heppner high school faculty as Morrow county chairmar of the Greater Oregon Club for 1927 summer sessions of the University of Oregon, was announced on the campus today. Miss Pearson was graduated from the University of Oregon in 1926 and was active and well known on the :ampus. She was strongly recom mended for the position of leadership in the Greater Oregon Club by Su perintendent James M. Burgess of the Heppner schools. The Morrow county group, of whom Miss Pearson will be chairman, is ex pected to be the largest this summer that ever attended a University of Oregon summer school. Under the leadership of President Arnold Ben nett Hall, a wide range of courses and a faculty of national reputation have been arranged, with the result that summer study has a particularly r-trong appeal this year to teachers, principals and superintendents who wish to avail themselves of the op portunity to study with such author ities as Dr. George D. Strayer of Co lumbia University, Superintendent Jesse H, Newlon of Denver, Superin tendent Carleton Washburne of Win netka, and Superintendent Harry B. Wilson of Berkeley.

From Heppner the Bishop went to Cecil and held services Sunday evening and re turned to Pendleton Monday. Speak ing of the visit of Bishop Reming ton here, the Pendleton East Oregon ian notes as a coincidence that their lies reveal that 28 years ago the late Rev. W. E. Potwine, then rector of the Church of the Redeemer at Ten d'eton, was in Heppner to arrange for the Inying of the cornerstone of the church hero. This structure was destroyed in the flood of June, 1903, and the present church building was erected a year or so later. Horses For Sale, several head broke to work, others unbroken.

Brisbane Don't Forget Intelligence. He Had Ambition. Too Much Muscle. Choose His Wars. "There is no life save in proteins." Wise chemists, gathered at Richmond, Virginia, say it and add, "environ ment and chemical agency are the dominant factors of life." That may be true, and still you need not accept "the chemical con cept of the origin and development of life." If inhabitants of another world. where machinery is unknown, should study an automobile supplied with gas and electricity and running, they would say, "No life in this machine without gas. Iron, gas and electric ity are all of that automobile.' They would overlook just one little thing, namely, the INTELLIGENCE that put the gas, electricity and steel together, mounted them on pneumatic tires and set them going. So it is with life. Explain it as you please, but don't forget the IN TELLIGENCE back of it. We are proud of our national pros perity and high wages. Bootleggers are even prouder of their prosperity and high wages. This is shown by Norman Klein, an investigator. One rum-running syndicate could afford o invest $10,000,000 and to pay men on their rum-running crews $50 a night for a good deal less than eight hours' work. One man tells how he used to get only $30 to $37 a week. "but I was ambitious," says he, "so they put me on a runner, and I got $50 a night." He worked on the "converted sub haser SC-217," Uncle Sam thus sup plying the rum-running boat at bar gain prices. There is nothing like ambition. Hay will be cheap this year on the farms, for crops will be heavy. After ne farmer sells and jobber gets the hay, prices will change. Late plow ing will be delayed and wheat grow ers worry about a too heavy "top rowth." Wheat grown suddenly too tall falls Lefore high winds or heavy rains, and 'htletic young gentlemen, please no tice: When the wheat stalk is over developed, the head of the wheat con taining the grain is feeble. Too much straw means too little wheat. And too much muscle means too lit tle brain. Unless inhabitants are misinform ed, the Western mind runs to peace ful philosophy. The Joplin News Herald says, "As to street signs, read 'em and leap." And the Richmond Missourian quotes a philosophical lady as follows: "Kissing is about to be carried so far that every lady is likely to get so tired of it that it may go utterly out of fashion." The St. Joseph (Mo.) News-Press says: "The girls have responded nobly to the appeal for the observ ance of paint-up week." A negro applying for admission to a Government training camp is told by the War Department that rules make it impossible to admit him. Regulations say colored men must en list in colored regiments. Camps for colored young men will be established which may solve the problem. However, if whites have the right to decide in what regiments and camps colored young men may enroll, it would seem only fair to let the colored young men decide in what par ticular wars they would be enrolled. Jacob Wassermann, able German novelist, author of "The World's Il lusion," can "find no happiness in this country." He calls Chicago's in dustrial life "intensely depressing." Chicago industrial workers might call Mr. Wassermann's life intense ly depressing. The prairie dog in his little village may be as happy as Na poleon looking up at the pyramids. The prairie dog doesn't have to go to it. Helena. Napoleon crossed the Alps in Win ter and told those that complimented him on the "great achievement": "Winter is the best time to cross; the snow does not slip. I deserve credit only for not believing fools who said IT COULD NOT BE DONE." MOTHER'S DAY. Mother will be honored at the ser vices on Sunday at the Church of Christ. The morning sermon will be, "The Ideal Mother." At eight o'clock the Christian En deavor young folks will put on a pag eant in honor of mother. There will be three scenes and appropriaate "mother" songs will be sung. It is hoped that many will avail themselves of the opportunity of witnessing thia pageant. The evening sermon will be the sec ond one of the "Bible" series snd will be entitled "Difficulties in the Old Testament." Bible sclihool and Christian En deavor as usual. Wear a flower in honor of Mother. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. Hand embroidered center piece wll! be sold by the Altar society on Satur day evening, May 7th, at 7 o'clock, at the John Skuzeski store.
