Subscription $2.00 a Year HEPPNER RODEO DATES SET FOR SPEAKS TODAY I0NEHASH0PE0F address liked HARRY DUNCAN HELD FOR DEATH TMsWeelt TILTING LOCALS OFF TOP PLACE SEPTEMBER 22-4 OF IDAHO MAN "FAMILY UPSTAIRS" GIVESGOODSENDOFF Beeks, Raymond B. Tol bert Also Well Received At Chautauqua. BIG TREATS COMING The Maids 'O Dundee Head Program Today; Big Play Tomorrow; Attendance Urged. Heppner's 1927 Chautauqua was given a grand send-off Tuesday eve ning when more than 400 people at tended the play, "The Family Up stairs." The heavy rain never damp ened the spirit of the players or au dience one whit, and gales of laugh ter throughout attested the warm welcome received. A little inconvenience was encoun tered in getting the big tent ready in time, as the tent man of the chau' tauqua organization failed to show up on schedule. However, Mrs. Williams, superintendent, with the close coop eration of the local committee, got a local crew on the job and the tent and seating were all arranged in time for the first performance. More than 300 folding chairs have been povided for the convenience of Chautauqua goers, which with the added benches make seating room for more than 500, Yesterday's large audiences were pleased with the performances of Beek's Music Land Entertainers and the address, "The Roots of the Re public," by Raymond B. Tolbert. In terest is now reaching white heat and it is expected "The Maids 'O Dundee" who will share their program in the afternoon with F. M. Price's address, "America in 2927," will be more large ly greeted than previous perform ances. The "Maids" have a company of five beautiful and talented young ladies, pleasing to look upon, and more pleasing yet with their varied Scotch program. Artists on the xylo phone, saxophone, cornet and piano are present in the company. All are good vocalists, and their interprets tion of the Highland Fling is win ning, indeed. This is the promise of the superintendent, whose experience in past performances with them lead her to say, "that's putting it mildly." The address of Mr. Price is not only unique but full of fruitful knowledge. He looks into the future of our coun try, making predictions and almost prophecies, but which are in fact not guesswork. His thorough knowledge ol present economic and social con ditions qualifies him as a capable ex ponent of his subject. Then tomorrow comes another big day, if anything better than "The Family Upstairs," advance word prom ises. It is "Believe Me Xantippe," to be given in the evening. The Pol lard Players give a varied dramatic program in the afternoon. In four acts, "Believe Me Xantippe" touches the heart chords of ail real Ameri cans. It is primarily a story of ad venture, reaching from New York to the far West, but carries with it a large amount of wholesome comedy. And Saturday comes a double per formance by the Loveless Twins Quartette, a wind-up program to leave fond, lingering memories of Chautauqua. Twin brothers married to twin sisters, all four talented mu sicians, full of pep and fun who make lasting friends wherever they go. They have a record of many successes in the east and middle west where they have been prominent in Chau tauqua work for several years. The local committee urges every one to take advantage of these excep tional entertainment opportunities. The opening number Tuesday was everything promised and more. "The Family Upstairs" won the audience completely, depicting as it did pres ent day American characteristics, perhaps slightly overdrawn for the comdey effect but nevertheless rec ognized to a degree in a majority of American families. There was Willie, "cake eater" more or less, too smart to go to school, a bear with the flap pers, mamma's pet and bane of fath er's existence, who smokes cigarettes and spends too muc htime around the pool hall. His sister, sensible and good, but too slow in marrying to suit her mother, who nearly ruins the girl's life by trying to marry her to the fellow to whom the girl is already secretly engaged, causing the en gagement to be broken. But dad gets busy and straightens it all out in the end. The play characterizes a family of the wage earning class in the city, who live in a flat. Mr. and Mrs. William Beek who en ' tertained yesterday afternocm and evening were versatile to the extreme in their musical and reading program. Mr. Beek pleased with his cornet and banjo numbers, readings and vocal selections while Mrs. Beek showed herself to be an artist at the piano. Their duet work was exceptionaay good, Mr. Beek's baritone and Mrs. Beek's soprano harmonizing well. Full of life and merriment this young couple made for themselves a lasting welcome in Heppner. Raymond B. Tolbert discussed vital problems of American democracy in his "Roots of the Republic." He showed why prohibition is not the cause of the so-called crime wave; gave the foreign element In the city, ruled by political bossism, credit for undermining our institutions; con demned New York and other states who have deflod the United States constitution In abrogating enforce ment of the 18th amendment within their confines; encouraged stricter (Continued on Page Six) Old Officers and Committees Held Over; Little Expenditure on Equipment Needed. The Heppner Rodeo dates this year have been set for September 22-23-24, the week following the Pendleton Round-Up which occurs the Hth to 17th. Plans are now being formulatsd for tne three-day program and C. W. Mc Namer, president, says little ependl ture of money will be necessary from now on to have everything needed for the best show ever. Already the track has been graded up and is well packed, making it faster and safer than heretofore. The plans now have in mind fol lowing much the same program as in former years with a few alterations and additions. More stress is to be laid on the Morrow County Derby, which will be made a three-quarter mile event instead of a half mile. It is believed this will make it a bet ter race and give opportunity for more entries. Purse money and en trance fees will remain much the same as they were last year. As the date for election of officers passed without a meeting, the old officers and directors were automatic- lly held over. C. W. McNamer is president of the association, Leonard Gilliam, secretary, and Chas. H. Lat- ourell, V. Gentry and Jack French, directors. All the stock and equipment is in the best of shape, Mr. McNamer de dares, and the broncs will be round ed up soon and put through the paces. From past performances, it is needless to say the Rodeo bucking stock is highly capable of caring for dll comers. Premium lists will be out as soon as final arrangements are completed Morrow Boys to Attend Vancouver Summer Camp Morrow county will be represented at the 1927 Citizen's Military Train ing camp at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, by six boys who will re port to camp on June 17 for a month of training and recreation. These boys are Terrel L. Benge, Harlan J. Devin, Maurice W. Edmondson, and Clarence W, Hayes of Heppner; Gene M. Engelman and George 1 Richie, lone. The C. M. T. camps are conducted by the Government under provis'ons of the National Defense act ar.d aim to develop citizenship, Americanism, physical fitness and a sense of respon sibility and duty of citizenship in the young men attending. The purpose of the camps i. not to make soldiers of the boys attending, for this could not be done in the brief thirty day period if it was desired, and attendance does not bind the student in any way. Athletics under the supervsiion of ex-college athletes, trips to the beach and nearby places of interest, military training and general out door recreation will be the summer's program at the camp. Vancouver Barracks is the camp center for the state of Oregon and the southwestern counties of Washington. TRIP TO WONDERLAND WILL FEATURE 1927 CONVENTION LaGrande, Ore., June 8. One of the most Interesting features of the Am erican Legion cnovention to be held here July 21-22-23 will be a trip to Wallowa Lake Wonderland and a chance for visitors to view Wallowa Lake and its surrounding beauties. This trip will be staged on the Sun day follownig the convention dates and all who wish to make the trip will be given the opportunity. Reservations for rooms are coming n steadily and from all indications the attendance here will far exceed any of the previous conventions. Am ple housing facilities have been ar ranged for and all reservations will be promptly attended to. The railroad companies have established low rates and many special trains will be used. The tourist camps are well equipped to handle those desiring to camp out while here and the locul hotels and private homes are cooperating with the Legion, so no one need stay away for fear of a lack of accommodations. GRANGE SPONSORS CELEBRATION Orrin Wright and S. Fryrenr were in the city the first of the week on business in connection with the cele bration at Parkers Mill, July 2-3-4, being sponsored by the Morrow and Grant county Pomona Granges. A full three-day program is being lined up, with especial stress to be laid on real old-fashioned good time on the fourth. Though the Granges are to hold a big closed meeting for in itiatory purposes, it is wished to make it perfectly understood thnt the gen eral public is invited to celebrate there. A general outline of the pro gam will be found in an advetisement another column of this issue. BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. What a deal of confusion there is in the world over some of the things that are very plainly taught in the word of God. A great deal of error is taught concerning the Holy Spirit and that is the reason for discussion at this time. Sunday evening at the Church of Christ the subject will be fully gone into. The morning discussion will deal with the third chapter of the Ephe sian letter. Bible school and Christian En deavor as usual. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. F. M. PRICE Who speaks at Chautauqua this af ternoon on "America in 2927." More Wool Sales Here Bring Good Prices Good prices have been received for wool at Heppnerduring the week, and several sheepmen have disposed of their clips, the highest price being 80 3-4 cents. A number of buyers have been on the field for several days, and with the sales closed there remains but about 25 per cent of the Morrow wool clip to be disposed of. Pat Connell, O'Connor Bros., D. O. Justus received 30 l-2c; Barney P, Doherty, 27 l-2c; Bob Thompson, 30 3-4c, and Dan C. Doherty, 30c. Buyers here were J. A. Funk, repre senting Hollowell, Jones & Donald; Jack Stanfleld, E. J. Burke & Co., and Alex Livingstone. COHN-KILKENNY. Henry Cohn and Miss Zara Kil kenny stole a march on their many Heppner friends on Friday last and were quietly married at Baker, Ore., according to report here the first of the week. Though the couple were In Heppner on Sunday no public an nouncement of the wedding was made, and many friehds were left only to conjecture. Mr. and Mrs. Cohn were reported to be spending some time in Portland this week, and it was ex pected they would return the last of the week. Miss Kilkenny is a prom inent member of Heppner's younger set, being a daughter of John Kil kenny, extensive Morrow county sheep raiser, and Mr. Cohn is a son of Mr. and Mrs. Phill Cohn of Hepp ner and Portland, and also is en gaged in the sheep business here. This paper joins their many friends in extending best wishes. IN AUTOMOBILE WRECK. A party of young people in the Chrysler touring car driven by Ste phen Thompson came to grief shortly before 8 o'clock Thursday evening, when the car hit the blocking fence on the highway below town near the Hughes farm. In the car besides Thompson were Shirley Elder, Eliza beth Elder and Virginia Cason. Though all four passengers were thrown through the top of the car, tearing it completely out, only slight injuries were sustained. The block ade was placed by the state highway department while repairing a bridge, and though danger signals had been placed at intervals to its approach. these failed to warn the party. The car was side-tracked into the ditch, i.nd not badly damaged considering the impact. WINS TRAP TROPHY. Chas. H. Latourell returned to Heppner the first of the week after attending two big trap shoots at Eu gene and Seattle. In the miss and out event of the Pacific Divisional shoot at Eugene Mr. Latourell held high gun, winning a beautiful loving up, trophy for the event. In Seattle he broke 99 out of 100 birds in the registered championship event, but never participated in the finals as they moved him from class B to class A in competition with Frank Troeh and other champion clay bird shots. If he had been left in class B, Mr. Latourell believes he stood a good chance of winning the cup. ENTERTAIN AT LEXINGTON. The E. J. Evans home, one mile from Lexington, was the scene of a very gay party on last Friday eve ning, when the Misses Gwendolyn Ev ans and Erma Duvall entertained, honoring Miss Margaret Kirk of Free- water, The evening was spent in playing games and dancing. At midnight re freshments were served by the host esses. The guests present were: Misses Helen Valentine, Mae Gentry, Eva and Dorris Wilcox, Alice Palmer, Ruth Dinges, Eva Padberg, Mary Slo- cum, Marie Hreshesrs, Beryl and Ora Anderson, Eula McMillan, and Mar garet Kirk; and Messrs, James Leach, Vester Lane, Marion and Elmer Pal mer, Edward Keller, Raymond, Paul, and Benjamin Miller, Edward Bur- chell, Roy Quackenbush, Laurel Ruhl, Charles Wilcox, Emmett Kuns, and Wayne McMillan. SWIMMING POOL OPEN. The Legion Bwimming pool is now open and the past few warm days has been doing a large business. Chas. Ayers has charge of the tank this year. It was expected the tank would be opened by the middle of May, but because of the continued cool weath er it was found necessary to postpone the opening. Two Games In County Will Be Hotly Contested; Each Won Sunday. League Standings Won Lost Pet. Heppner 8 1 .889 lone 3 .667 Condon , S 6 .333 Arlington 6 .333 As the wind-up of the Morrow-Gilliam County Baseball league season nears, attention is centering on the two Heppner-Ione games, the first to be played next Sunday at lone and the other the following week here. Heppner's only other game, the one at Condon, will end the league sched ule. lone has been stepping along pretty lively the last few games, taking ev erything into camp, even Heppner in the non-league Memorial Day game when she threw a good scare into the locals. The way things now stand, if lone succeeds in winning th mainder of her games and Heppner loses the last three, lone will edge out on top by a one-game lead. But if Heppner wins from Condon, which is probable, and loses the two to lone. the two clubs will be tied. That's the dope leading lone to be lieve she has a good chance for the pennant, but Heppner is not resting on her past laurels. The locals know they have tough opposition in the Egg City bunch and are not prone to underestimate them. In the two for mer games between the two clubs, Heppner nosed out by only a close margin, and the boys know they must scrap to keep their heads up. Last bunday both Heppner and lone had easy games, the locals winning from Arlington 7-1 and lone defeat ing Condon 14-2. "Ione's lineup was bolstered by three new players, the pitcher, "Rip" Collins of Longview, and two outfielders who looked mighty good. It is probable these players will be used against Heppner next Sunday. Rain so far this week has prevent ed practice here and it is expected tne noys may start a ltitle slow Sun day. They will be at themselves be fore the game's over, it is hoped, and 1 give a good account of them selves. v" The Heppner-Arlington box score: Heppner AB R H PO A E Cason, 1 3 1 Aiken, r 4 Anderson, m 6 Drake, p 6 Van Marter, 2 4 LaMear, c 6 C.

Morrow Wheat Fields Drenched With Rain Yes, it was a million dollar rain for sure. Begining Tuesday evening and asting till well on toward noon Wed nesday, the rain came part of the time n torrents, but generally a steady downpour, and the wheat fields of the county were thoroughly drenched. Thousands of bushels have been added the prospective yield and there would seem to be nothing to prevent the maturing of the biggest crop in the history of the county. The total rainfall for the week has been near 2 inches. We just received our portion of the heavy rain that came all over the state, and it was one time that Mor row county was not overlooked by the weather man. There was some thunder and lightning at times, but the electrical storm here was nothing compared to what it was in many parts, according to reports. THREE WEEKS LEFT FOR REINSTATING GOV'T. INSURANCE AlTENTION of ex-service men Is called to the fact that the time for reinstatement of Government War Risk Insurance will be up on July 1st. All ex-service men who have not reinstated their Govern ment insurance should do so at once. Information and blanks may be secured from Spencer Crawford, commander, or P. M. Gemmell, adjutant, of Heppner Post No. 87, American Legion, The former may be found at the Ga zette Times office and the latter at Cohn Auto Co. This service will he gladly given any veteran wheth er a member of the Legion or not. The best endorsement of the government Insurance ia the fact that all the major insurance com panies have Instructed their rep resentatives to urge upon all who are entitled to It, to reinstate their Government policies. Do not delay. The time it short. REINSTATE NOW I 1 Mj RAYMOND B. TOLBERT Whose address at Chautauqua last night made a good impression. LOCAL NEWS ITEMS Mrs. Claud White and daughter LaVerne of north Sand Hollow were in Heppner for a short time Monday. LaVerne White and Johnnie Moore, both pupils of the Pine City school, have been chosen to represent the boys and girls club and attend the summer club school at O. A. C. be ginning next week. This session will last for three weeks, and Mrs. White will accompany the children to Cor vallis. Mrs. White also makes report of splendid crop conditions in their locality and a lot of grain will be pro duced there this season. Mrs. Florence Paul returned to Heppner from Portland on Saturday and has been busy getting the Sam Hughes residence ready for the fam ily. Mr. and Mrs. Hughes will arrive little later. Six months ago the Sara Hughes company sold out their business at Heppner and going to Portland Sam bought a business in one part of the city and Hanson in another. They have both sold out and will return to Heppner and will likely engage in business here again. Arthur T. E. McCoy, age 17, was committed to the reform school at Salem on Friday. He was brought into juvenile court on charges of pil fering, and when Judge Benge had fully investigated the case he thought the proper place for the lad was in the state institution, to which place he was taken on Saturday by Sheriff McDuffee. McCoy drifted into Hepp ner from Aberdeen, Wash., some weeks ago and had been working for L. V. Gentry. Harold Cohn, district committee man of the American Legion, Depart ment of Oregon, attended a meeting of the committee in Portland Satur day. On Sunday, in company with other state officers, Mr. Cohn went to Pendleton where a new post was instituted. The entire membership of the new post is composed of Indian ex-service men of the Umatilla res ervation, and as far as is known this is the first all-Indian post in the United States. T. J. Humphreys departed for Eu gene and other Willamette valley points this morning. At Eugene he will attend the graduation exercises at the University of Oregon, Miss Ev elyn Humphreys being a member of the graduating class. While away he will be relieved in the prescription department at Humphreys Drug store by E. C. Brown, a registered pharm cist of Hillsboro and old time friend of Mr. Humphreys. B. S. Clark of Sand Hollow was a visitor in the city on Monday. Edgar Copenhaver is farming the wheat lend on the Clark place and the pros pects are just right for a heavy yield. Mr. Clark himself is engaged in the milking of several head of good cows, raising chickens and pigs, and finds the business profitable. He markets his butterfat at Heppner. Bert Palmateer, Morgan wheat raiser, was here for a short time on Tuesday. Mr. Palmateer reports that his prospects for a bumper crop are the finest in the 30 years of his farming experience in the Morgan section. The crop in that part of the county is practically made now, and the weather conditions have been ideal for its development. O. M. Whittington, theater man of Bend, spent a couple of dnys at Hepp-1 ner and Eight Mile the first of the week, coming over with Dr. Ben Ty ler, eyeglass specialist, who spent Tuesday and Wednesday at the Buhn store. Mr. Tyler is a former Morrow county boy, being a resident for many years of the Lexington section. O. T. Ferguson, who made a trip over the north end of Morrow county the first of the week, reports that en tire section as giving promise of a bumper yield of grain. Many fields should yield 30 to 35 bushels from present outlook, and Mr. Ferguson thinks it will be the greatest crop the north end has ever produced. Mrs. Jess Hall states that she has been quite successful in her venture in chicken raising this spring. Out of 1500 eggs hatched she was able to raise more than 1300 chicks and the weather conditions of the early spring were not what they should have been either. Mr. and Mrs. Hull are on the Hurry Rood place on Heppner flat. Mrs. C. L. Keithley of Pendleton, spent Sunday and Monday in this city enjoying a visit with friends. She accompanied her nephew, Ralph Gil liam who was here in the interests of the company he is representing, the Dickson Accounting company. Ralph's headquarters are at La Grande. Car Handle Serves as Clew Lead ing to Arrest; Man Hit on Columbia Highway. What proved to be a fatal accident occurred on the highway west of The Dalles last Monday night and some party was charged with being a "hit and run driver." The man was picked up towards morning and hurried to the hospital in The Dalles where he died in the afternoon without gaining consciousness. Officers immediately got busy, hav ing as their clew the handle off a car. and by Thursday evening had traced the owner as Harry Duncan of this city. Mr. Duncan returned home on Mon day evening from a visit to Eugene, and it was shortly after dark that he passed the point where the man was picked up, but it had not occurred to him that anything out of the way had happened, though on Tuesday morning he discovered that the han die to the right hand door of hii Buick coupe was gone and he could not account for it. He immediately toon steps to order another handle through Vaughn & Goodman and the order went in to the Howard Automo bile company at Portland, who had been informed to look out for just such a contingency. Officers arrived here from The Dalles late Thursday evening and charged Mr. Duncan with being responsible for the accident that had caused the death of the man found on the highway, and he was taken to The Dalles Friday where a preliminary examination was held and he was bound over to the grand jury in the sum of $5000. Bail was promptly furnished, as a number of Heppner friends had gone along to assist Mr. Duncan in every way they could. The arrest of Mr. Duncan came as a shock, not only to himself, but to his large circle of friends in this city, all of whom realize that Harry would never have struck a man down on the highway and then ran off and left him. When he heard what had happened, and that the man had pass ed away from his injuries, Mr. Dun can was completely overcome. His case will be heard later at The Dalles. The following is a report of the acci dent as carried by the Optimist of The Dalles: An unidentified man, thought to be Frank Black oJUKlockman, Idaho, died Tuesday afternoon at The Dalles hos pital, the victim of a hit and run driver. Black, if he is definitely iden tified as that, was found early Tues day morning by Chief of Police Frank Heater and Deputies George Scherrer and Hans Blaser, lying at the foot of a steep, rocky bank on the Colum bia river highway about a quarter of a mile west of the Chenowith creek bridge. This was almost the exact spot where E. M. Hill of Dufur was crowded from the grade and killed about three years ago. When the man was found he was unconscious. Blood had flowed freely from a froctured skull and had dried on his head and face. He was breath ing heavily when Dr. Taylor of The Dalles hospital arrived and rushed him to the city. It was the opinion of officers and attending physicians that the man had been hit sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning. Near the scene of the accident, the handle of a sedan door was found, and close to the body, a pack, containing a few clothes was discovered. The victim, evidently had been walking towards Portland on the highway at the time he was struck. In the meantime state traffic officers are trying to locate the driver of the machine. The only clew to the injured man's identity is a sales slip, on which had been written the name Frank Black and the address of Klockman, Idaho. He is thought to be about 35 years of age. Regular June Term of Circuit Court Monday The regular June term of circuit court for Morrow county will be con vened at the court house on next Monday morning, with Judge Parker of Condon presiding. It had been ar ranged for Judge Parker to take charge of this term in place of Judge Phelps, so Judge Fee, the new ap pointee, prevailed upon him to act as the court at Pendleton was taking all of his time at present. Clerk Anderson states that the docket is not very long, and the pros pects are for a very short session. There will be a few cases to try, and unless the grand jury should create further business the term will be over in a few days. ALPINE FARM BUREAU MEETING. A meeting of the Alpine Farm Bu reau was held on Saturday. June 4, at the Alpine schoolhouse. A large crowd was in attendance and a very interesting musical program was giv en. County Agent Charles W. Smith attended and outlined his program of work in this community for the com itig year. Several Heppner people were present and contributed much to the success of the meeting. Af'er the business meeting and program all present adjourned to the basement of the schoolhouse where they were served with sandwiches, cake and cof fee. The next meeting of the Farm Bureau will be held on Saturday eve ning, July 2. JUST ARRIVED A shipment of mid-summer hats and dresses at The Curran Hat Shop. Arthur. Brisbane. Lindbergh and Columbus. A Wonderful Motor. No Jumping. Lungs too Good. By the way, fathes and mothers, sad because their sons lack college education, will observe that Lindbergh went to no university, and his prep school" was a plow on his father's farm. He was a solitary boy, think ing, enjoying danger and new things. Robert Westover, a garage owner in Montana, who once hired Lindbergh to make parachute jumps, says, "I don't think he was lonesome on that trip. Slim Lindbergh was a peculiar guy. He did not care for company or any excitement, except daring stuff. Everything he had he carried with him, helmet, goggles and toothbrush stuffed in the big pockets of his overalls." Lindbergh's difficulty now will be to find something worth doing that will not kill him. Lindbergh proves that deeds of dar ing "mad-cap audacity" seeming reck less at the time, are of great, perman ent value. It was called reckless 'oily when Columbus made his trans atlantic "hop" in the opposite di rection. Cool heads told him he would fall over the edge of the ocean and his cew wanted to turn back. Fulton's experiment with steam, and Franklin's with the kite, Beemed fool ish. Congressmen that voted to spend money on Government experiments with telegraph messages were beaten for re-election. The voters had no use" for a Congressman that would vote to waste money. Lindbergh's feat will find an echo in the next Congress. It will occur to some Congressmen that if one man, all alone, could fly from here to Europe, some thousands might fly from Europe or Asia here, and be less welcome than Lindbergh was in Paris. The record shows that Lindbergh's Wright motor used less than twelve gallons of gasoline per hour of flying and did better than 100 miles an hour. At twenty cents a gallon that means about $81 worth of gasoline. plus twenty gallons of oil. Not ex pensive for a trip to Paris. Anybody who doubts that airplanes will carry passengers across the ocean for less than $50, "all daylight route," has little confidence in human ingen uity. Statistics show this country's in come in 1926 totalled seventy-eight billion, six hundred and forty-nine million dollars, from all sources the ditch digger's wages, the coupon cutter's toil. That means $671 for every man, woman and child, or $1,805.37 for tvery person engaged in earning money. Professor Nash, teacher of phys ical education in New York Univer sity, justly criticises violent exercise for young girls. To permit competition for girls in hurdle races, high jumping, broad jumping, etc., is a crime against the girls now, and against the future gen eration. Girls were not made to JUMP. They were made for motherhood, and should be taught to respect and pro tect their complicated machinery. In the Fall "medicinal whiskey" bourbon and rye, made of corn and "ye, will be manufactured under su pervision of the Treasury Department. No whiskey should be suggested for medicinal purposes. If doctors say rlcohol is necessary, they should use brandy made of grapes. Many pois ons are in grain whiskey, even care fully made. Real brandy is free from poisonous oils and other poisons, un less you call pure alcohol a poison. Wood alcohol is deadly, potato al cohol is very poisonous, grain alcohol less poisonous, grape alcohol safest. Those that sent threatening letters concerning the Sacco end Vamctti case to Governor Fuller did not frigh ten the Governor. He rejects the sug gestion of a commission to review the Sacco and Vanzetti case, saying that the responsibility is his. The Gov ernor cannot delegate his authority. The law provides that the decision must be made by him. Governor Fuller will do his own investigating and his own deciding. Consumptives will be interested to learn that physical work, even "hard work" in reason, is beneficial, not harmful, except in extreme cases. Consumptives often have lungs that might be called "too good," the lung area being so great that the heart finds difficulty in pumping an ade quate blood supply. Exercise in mod eration strengthens the heart, helps the patient. LEGION EXPRESSES THANKS.
