The first number, of the Lyceum course which is to appear here this winter under the auspices of the Pa tron-Teachers association, promises to be a genuine treat. It consists of a male quartet, each of whose mem bers, aside from being a good singer, has a group of specialties of his own. This organization is to appear here on .me evening 01 riovemDer em. It is under the direction of Lan celot Button who his been before the public for many years in quartet work, and for the past, four seasons has been directing Mb own organiza tion, lie is a graduate of the Lyceum Arts conservatory of Chicago, and he has also studied at the American con servatory in Chicago, and at the Chi cago Musical College.

The Patron-Teachers' association hopes to make the Yyceum a success this year, and to this end the organi zation is now getting under way with the appointment of several commit tees to handle various pontoons of the work. The entire Lyceum course was picked witlv a great deal of care, nearly every number being personally recommended by some of the citizens of the town. Five numbers will ap pear at various times during the year, all of which promise good entertain ment of various types. Those who are behind the movement do not, at present, contemplate, an In tensive personal ticket-selling cam paign, although everyone in the com munity will be given an opportunity to buy a season ticket.

BOWER, Minister, DEATH CALLS JOHN OLDEN. Death came to John Olden, who has been ill for a number of months past at the residence of Mrs, Emma Whet stone in this city at 1:00 p. m. today Mr. Olden had suffered from enlarge ment of the heart and his illness dates- back for two years, but until comparatively recent months he had been able to be about and attended to his business. As we go to press funeral arrangements have not been made. Mr. and Mrs. C. N. Jones, Mrs. F, S. Parker, Mrs. E.R. Huston and Mrs. W. J, Beamer were Pendleton visitors on Tuesday, where they at tended an all-day meeting of the Missionary society of the Christian church. Frank Gilliam Chosen to Head First National At a meeting of the board of di rectors of the First National Bank of Hoppner, held on last Thursday, rrank Gilliam, one of the vice presi dents of Uie bank for a number of years, and a member of the board of directors for the last seventeen years, was elected president to fill the place made vacant by the death of Malcolm S. Corrigall, who had been the bank's head for nearly twenty years. Mr. Gilliam, who is one of the ear liest pioneers Of this county, and a pioneer hardware merchant of Hepp ner, has served the bank on its board of directors faithfully, and the insti tution has always bad his earnest and enthusiastic support. Holding as he does the confidence of the commun ity, his election to be head of the First National is indeed a happy choice on the part of 'the directorate. W; P. Mahoney, we understand, will continue as vice president and man ager of the bank, the place he has filled for the past number of years, and there were no other changes in the board of directors at this time. R. B. STEERS IS WINNER. With the close of the hunting uea- ton today, R. B. Steers of Hardman has so far brought the largest uuck deer to the Peoples Hardware com pany in competition for the Reming ton express rifle offered as a prize. And unless the hunt of the last few days has awarded some nimrod a big ger kill, not yet brought to town, Mr. buck weighed 238V4 pounds, topping :teers will receive the fine rifle. His the kill of Claude Cox, who previous ly headed the list, by Just 8 pounds. Competition has been keen, though many deer killed were not weighed in because they were not large enough to stand a chance. CLARK SISTERS IN GLEE CLUB.

Letha Hiatt Organization of the Staff. With the new organization of the Heppnerian Staff, under the capable supervision of Miss Murray, we plan to make a bigger and better addition to our local paper, of our school in terests and activities, and we hope that thin will tend toward a keener interest between the home and shool. This work should not be confined exclusively to staff members, but any member of the student body may con tribute news articles to the staff and eventually gain himself a place thereon. The grades will each be represented by one of the students who will report to the Grade School Editor, thus bringing to light some of their"actitities, both work and play. o BOYS' SPORTS. The Heppner high football team won their first league game by de feating Fossil, with a score of 39 to 6. Both teams played a good game. Fossil, although they have not had football practice for several- years, made a fine showing. They have the "stuff" and plenty of fight. Thore were quite a few substitu tions made In the teams. Several second string men had a chance to play. The audienco was not quite as large as was expected, but the few that turned out showed they were behind the team. In the game, the following line-up started: K. Oviatt le, G. Slocum It, P. Jones lg, H. Evans c, F. Walker rg, S. Thompson rt, G. Hayes re, H. Gen try q, P. Hisler f, O. ParkerTh, M. Gumiiiell lh. Substitutes H. Hayes for Oviatt; Devin-for Jones; Benge for S. Thomp son; Walker for EvnnB; Turner for Hisler; S. Thompson for Turner; Tiirnor for Gammoll; R. Thompson for C, Hayes. The boys are preparing for a clash with Arlington October 29, on the local gridiron. Several new plays hnve been created and given out by Loach Johnson. The school would appreciate your attendance at these games as often as possible, o Honor Torch Society Formed. At a joint meeting of the Heppner ian and Anon Literary societies on September 5, a plan to merge the two societies was presented. This was met with favor with all the members, Will Engage in Store 'Business at John Day Mrs. Ellen Buseick and son Reid spent a f"' days at John Day the past week, during which time Reid negotiated a deal for the Ira G. boyce store, an old established busi ness at that place. Reid returned o John Day today, and the stock of merchandise, which consists of groceries, principally, will be invoiced and the deal completed. Mr. Buseick feels that he has made a good purchase as the city of John Day is so situated as to be a good trading point. It is on the John Day highway, and will also be on the north and south highway when that road is completed to Burns,, besides being located in a prosperous part of Grant county. This paper bespeaks for Mr. Buseick success in thfs new venture. DEER BULLDOGGING NEW TRICK. A hunting party returning last Fri day from the mountains in the Ukiah country with a goodly kill, consisted of Earl ar.d Leonard Gilliam, Jim Cowins, Cal Grawl and Cy Lowell of Harrisburg. Earl killed two bucks, Leonard one and Grawl one. The buck killed by Grawl is said to have had the widest spread of horns of any ever killed in this vicinity, though the animal was not extra large. The horns were taken to Har- nsburg by Lowell for mounting and may be on display here later. Cowins hud the unique experience of a deer jumping over him, while Earl Gil liam set a new record in bulldogging. Gilliam had shot his deer, but didn't knock it down. Catching up with it he grabbed hold of its horns and .hrcw it,, cutting its throat to make sure it didn't get up again. This is believed to be a world's bulldogging record. CAMPFIRE GIRLS MEET. The seventh and eighth grade Camp Fire girls under leadership of Miss Phelps, Mrs. Cohn and Mrs. Rodgers, held a business meeting! after school Wednesday in room five of the high school. The Campfire meetings will be held on Thursday from now on. The fol lowing were elected to fill the offices: President, Donna Brown; vice-president, Florence French; secretary, Phyllis Jones; treasurer, Mary Mc Duffee; scribe, Ruth Turner; song and yell leader, Beatrice Thomson. These girls chose as a name for their group Aloha Honta, which means "house of peace." There were nineteen girls present. Zane Grey's FORLORN RIVER at Star Theater Thursday and Friday. some declaring that one good society was better than two poor ones. Mr. Burgess suggested that, in stead of forming a new local society, we adopt the National Torch Honor society, to which any and every stu dent in the high school might be long. This national society is being sponsored by many of the better schools of our land, and is becoming a favorite wherever located. Mem bers may wear the nonor Torch pin by earning points in scholarship, ath letics and student activities. A committee consisting of Orrin Bisbee, Mae Doherty, Mildred Green end Ellis Thomson, with Miss Pear son and Miss Wright as faculty ad visors, was chosen to investigate the new society, and report at the joint meeting of the two societies on Oc tober 12. After examining the constitution and by-laws, the committee unani mously favored the Torch society. At the meeting on Wednesday, the 12th, the two organizations adopted the Torch by a unanimous vote. Most of the students are very en thusiastic about the new society, and the faculty recommend it highly. It abolishes cliques, for all are capable of becoming members. There are three pins awarded by the society, for points earned by the students. A one bar pin, a two bar pin, and the Torch pin. Mr. Burgess has planned an ambi tious program for the society In the coining months. The former mem bers of the two literary societies feel l.hnt they have unselfishly given up the two societies, and are sponsor ing the ons for the good of the whole school, and therefore deserve the ti tle of "charter" members of the local Torch society. Although the Arion and Heppiter iHn societies are now extinct they have performed many worth-while things in the past, which will not be readily forgotten. c Examinations Held. The six-week's examinations were held Wednesday. Thuradav and Fri. day of Inst week, in both the grades and nign school. (Jonscquntly, there has been a general "rush" among the entire faculty to get the grades and cards rendv for t.auintr f.hi wnpb. The second six weeks has started off in an earnest manner to secure the did the first, and everyone is working in an earnes tmanner to secure the knowledgo that is awaiting them In their various classes. o Vigilance Committee. The Vigilnnce committee formu lated at the beginning of each school year, has been organized for the pur pose of keeping order among the freshmen and to see that every fresh man wears a green ribbon Until af ter his initiation. With a unani- (Continued on Page Two) TURKEY MEN ATTEND HERMISTOW MEET 6000 Umatilla Birds Join; Local Growers to Fol low if Enough Sign. A meeting to complete organization of the Co-operative Turkey Market ing association for Umatilla! county at Hermiston Inst night was attend ed by a number of Morrow county raisers who were asked to come into the association. Several Morrow county men will do this provided enough turkeys are listed through this marketing channel to guarantee at least a half carload to be shipped from either Heppner or lone before Thanksgiving. Those desiring to list their birds should see Chas. W. Smith, county agent, at once. More than 6000 turkeys have been listed in Umatilla county, assuring successful operations this season. Among those attending the meeting from this county besides the county agent were Jay Hiatt of Heppner, Fred McMurray, Walter Eubank and L. B. Ledbetter of lone, ChaB. Wick lander and Walter Knauff of Board man. Mrs. C. G. Brink, secretary-manager of the Idaho Co-operative Tur key Growers Marketing association, was present bo help in the organiza tion, as well as to give instructions on the feeding, fattening and dress ing of the birds. The following is the information given to members of the Idaho association on this sub ject and should be of interest to turkey growers of this section: 'In feeding turkeys for market you should exercise the same good judg ment as is required to fatten any other fowl. The turkey is a wild fowl by nature and will not success fully fatten in confinement. The best results are obtained by feeding a va riety of grains such as whole wheat, orn, ground barley and oats, con taining ground bone with some j meat scraps, reea an tne sour miiK that they will drink and see that the drinking water is at all times clean and free from any filth. Pools that are standing around the barns are very dangerous. Plenty of oyster shell and a,r slacked lime are essen tial in hardening w'ue bones. Early in the fall when the turkeys are put on feed, it is well to gradually in crease the ration and feed all they. will eat during the month of October. There is no Bet form necessary to gain the best results, but exercise good judgment as you watch them each day. Changing from one kind of feed to another every two or tiiree days has proven very satisfac tory. "Before killing any birds, select those that are in prime condition. Examine carefully and see that the body is plump and well covered with fat. The legs should be firm, and streaks of fat under the wings. A blue bird or one that is carrying pin feathers will not grade No. 1. Keep such a bird and feed until next sale. l'welve hours is sufficient to empty craw Bfffore killing. The birds may be fed in the afternoon before dress ing the following morning, but do not give them the usual heavy feed. See that plenty of fresh water is be fore them during all the time they ar beini- diessid, this has a tendency to clean anything that might be in the craw and' prevents too much shrink. Hang the bird by the feet to a solid beam or pole under a shed if possible so that it will be away from the side of any building in case it might flop around when being killed. Take hold of the head over the top, letting the thumb and one finger come around the head and press in at the jaw bone joint. This will force open the mouth and make it easily held open for the cut. Then, with the other hand, run the point of the knife back to this jaw joint and cut off both large veins, cutting toward the top of the head. It does not take a deep cut as the veins are both just below the membrane of the mouth. Allow the blood to run freely for a minute then run the knife through the groove in the roof of the mouth until it touches the skull, then give a little draw to cut the membrane of the brain. This causes a paraly sis of the feather muscles, making them easy to remove. A good stick is shown by the shudder that passes through the bird. A little sand or a few small stones should be placed in a small tin' can and hung by a wire into the lower jaw of the bird to catch the blood as it comes from the turkey. Remove all big feathers first, the tail and wing feathers come easy if properly stuck. Pull all smnll feathers with the grain of the skin. Too quick pulling or jerking is liable to be dangerous as the small tears in the flesh spoil the appearance of the bird." LOOKOUT STATION IS FINISHED. Work on the new Arbuckle lookout tower was completed yesterday, ac cording to Fnnk Farnsworth, kok out there the past season who re turned to town yesterday. This tow er, though not as high as the old one, is located nearer the top of the mountain and affords a better view of the surrounding country than did the old one. The tower has been un der construction for some time and was nearly completed once when a high wind blew it over, demolishing a greater part of the construction It is now ready to be put in use the coming season, however. Almost" Human ' ! i ,. I "Fellows," S year old German shepherd, owned by Jacob Herbert Ol Detroit f&reA a n-l,,0.. of Columbia University professors, proving oimseit "almost" human and wltfi a miMl : . ' " suinc respects, almost equal that of an 8 year old FELLOW-ALMOST HUMAN -MAKES PROFS WONDER Detroit Dog in Psychology Test at Columbia University Shows Remarkable Intelligence. ... By ROBERT FULLER. This is a story of a dog. A dog fivt years old which under stands innumerable orders without the aid of vision cues and who exe cutes them with the apparc:.t intel ligence of a child of eight years and with the poise, grace and willingness a little too perfect to be human. ' ?ellow" is his name, a Gemian shepherd dog owned by Jacob Her bert of Detroit who brought him to New York this week, to be submiited to an intelligence .test before Pro fessor C. J. Warden's psychology class at Columbia University. Fellow is five years old. True, he has been a show do and has appear ed in the movies, but, the tests to which he was put at the great uni versity completely eliminated any posibility of a stunt performance or in other words a regular and rou tine bag o' tricks done over and oveT until second nature. It is estimated that Fellow under stands between 300 and 400 words, according to. his owner, who also contends that all well-bred animals are a great deal more intelligent than their owners suppose and they will respond as Fellow does if treated in an understanding manner. For one long hour Mr. Herbert is sued instructions to Fellow, usually in a common conversational tone and pifrt of the time from behind a screen where the dog could not see him. To ail of which Fellow responded prompt ly and willingly. The instructions were in the fol lowing vein: "Go to the table, Fellow. Put your head on it. Put one foot and your head on it. Now, you can jump on the table. Sit down all the way. Now stand up." Here Mr. Herbert arranged Fellow in a pose and told him to hold it, which he did until told to move again. The dog has posed as a model for thirty minutes at a time, his mas ter added. He then continued his in structions, as follows: 'Jump down on that side. Look out the window. Turn your head the other way. Go over to the lady in the corner. Put your head in her lap. Now, suppose yovi go to the front door. No, never mind (after Fellow had started). Stand up against the wall instead. Now go on outside and wait for me." Mr. Herbert then told Fellow not to let any one approach a certain lady sitting in a corner. The dog fol lowed his instructions so implicitly that we would not let his own mas ter come near. "He will bite me to protect any one I tell him to," Mr. Herbert explained. "He has been taught to follow in structions to the letter and he does it regardless of consequences." That Fellow understands words in the human sense was doubted by Professor Warden and Dr. Lucein N. Warner, in charge of the animal psy chology laboratories at Columbia and New York universities, respectively, who had examined the dog previously. "Animals may obey commands as sounds rather than words," they ex plained. Personally we are f the opinion that the dog has learned to asscoiate certoin sounds, rather than words in the human sense, with the proper objects and commands. How ever, the large number of associa tions clearly mark the dog as extra oulinnry." "With dogs as with children," said Mr. Herbert, "the first lesson to have them learn is to love their teacher. I never said anything to Fellow with out a purpose and never punished him or rewarded him except by say ing 'what a shume' or 'good dog'." Fellow's audience appeared more than willing to stay all day. Mr. Herbert says he has refused an effer of J230.000 for Fellow. Turkey Shoot Set for Sunday, November 13 The Heppner Rod and Gun club is sponsoring a pre-Thanksgiving trap bhoot for turkeys to take plar.e here Sjnday, November 13. There will bi plenty of turkeys for everyone, says Chas. I.atourell, -president, and a hear:y invitation is extended to sportsmen everywhere to attend. The shoot will start at 10 o'clock in the morning and continue through out the day. Hot lunches will proba bly be arrangd to be served at the grounds, and every conyenience taken care of to show visitors a good time Handicaps will be set according to shooting ability so that verydne tak ing part will have an even chance. LEXLNGTON-HEPPNER TIE. Lexington and Heppner town foot ball teams fought 60 minutes in the hot sunshine at Podco field Suiday afternoon to a 0-0 tie, the main out come being sore aiurcles on many of the contestants who took their initial workout in this gime. Line-jamming with very little consequent yardage and exchange of punts featured the game, Aiken of Heppner having lit tle the edge in tne booting depart ment over Lane of Lexington. A few ?asss were tried and but one com pleted, by Lexington, which took the ball across t. e li:ie for a touchdqwn until the ball was called back be cause of an off-side play. The teams were evenly matched and should draw a good-sized cov.-d when they meet again. Heppner is planning on more games, the schedule for which may be announced later. 1 LEGION AUXILIARY MEETS. The Ar.ierfcaa Legion Auxiliary met on Tuesday evening, October 18th. Thirteen members were present. " It was planned to bave a clothes drive for the Child Welfare commit tee.

The host esses, Mcsdames Cowins, served a delicious repast. Secretary. - LOCAL H ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Lawson arrived at Heppner the end of the week from the Mayflower mine of ban Stalters in the Greenhorn section."' Mr. Law son has been spending the summer at the mine, in which he is a stockhold er, and several weeks ago Mrs. Law son arrived from her home at Minne apolis, Mn.n., to join her husband after a a separation of 40 years. Dur ing this time their family of four children have all grown up and have families of their own, and Mrs. Law- son makes her home with a daughter at Minneapolis. William is an old resident of this section where he has lived during the greater part of the time he and his wife have been sep arated. This reunion, after so long a space of time, seems to be a happy one on the part of both, and they may decide to continue their home at this Dlace. Frank Farnsworth returned to the city ycterday morning after a so journ cf several months in the moun tains, coming in with Chas. Thomson who went up Sunday and spent a couple cf days hunting. Frank was stationed at the Abruckle lookout sta tion as lookout during the fire sea son, and remained in the vicinity of Kelley prairie for a hunt. , Though he killed no deer, Frank H feeling bet ter than i.e has for a loi g time, hav ing enjoyed his summer's work im mensely. W. P. Prophet and daugh ter Shirley were also hunting in com pany with the two above mentioned gentlemen the first of the week. Chas. and Omar Stanton came in from Walla Walla on Thursday eve ning and spent most of Friday here, looking after some business matters. Chas. Stanton has been ill for most of the summer and at one time it was feared he would not weather the storm. His right eye became infected and because of his condition t could not be properly treated, surgically, and he has suffered the loss of that member. Friends of Mr. Stanton here will be glad to know that he has now fully recovered from his illness, and in a shout time will have his former physical strength back. L. Van Marter and Dwight MUner conducted a party of Portland sports men lucluoing "Skeet Bigbee and "Cowboy" Ed Tomlin of the P;rt lund Beaver ball club, on a hunting expedition last week, returning yes terday. Though no deer were killed the whole pity returned enthusiastic about their go.d time. Mr. and Mrs. Everett O.

It is a country unlike that through which the writer drove i few weeks ago in France on the way from Paris to see Clemenccau in his little cottage on the Atlantic at Lejard, not far from Bordeaux. The trip through France, made in an automobile, was as rapid as this trip by train. In France you drive your automobile as fast as you like, but TAKE CARE YOU HURT WO BODY. " , French roads are wide and straight. the car used by this writer came from Nice to Paris, 900 kilometers,. 640 miles, in one day and did easily the 400 miles from Paris to Lejard be tween breakfast and dinner. French drivers go rapidly, but care fully; 'if they hit anybody the law hits them. A member of the Cham ber of Deputies went to jail for a year, all the influence ol his friends could not save him. He struck a child. B. Forman, of Rochester, K. ' i., can tell yoa of a French chauffeur I ' accused of intoxication, sent to jail, for ten years. He killed a child. Mr. Formand saw the thing happen. 1 i :' . Here in Kansas you see great trac- - tors providing power, machinery cut ting and binding corn, great engines binding, threshing wheat, and tying the grain sacks, all in one operation. In r ranee occasionally you would see a peasant and his wife cutting their grain with giekles in small fields of irregular shape. Fields were har vested with scythes. , Here and there teams of norses jrew ' mowing ma chines. Power driven agricultural machinery was not seeta between Paris and Lejard. Where mowers had passed you might 'see old grandmother and her lutle grandchild bending over, pick ing up wisps of grain with the right hand, putting them in aprons held by the left hand. A hundred such gleaners were seen in a day's drive. - They were less for tunate than Ruth, their gleanings meagre. There was no Boaz to com mand his men, saying, "Let her glean ' even among the sheaves and' reproach her not; and let fall also" some of the handfuls oh purpose for her and leave them that she may glean them, but rebuke her hot." . With, hand rakes the of3 grand mother and the little girl could have gathered all the gleanings in a short time, but that evidently was not al lowed. Gleaning.' must be done by hand, the old body must stoop, and ' stoop all- day long to pick up stray straws. When the grain had gone from the field an old shepherd would bring his little band of sheep.'' These would walk through the stubble eat ing the oves-ripe grain that had fallen from the ears. Other bands of sheep led by an old man or woman-with dogs to help, ate the grasa along the highway edge. No sheep ever strayed onto the road before the autoiqobiles. Dogs prevented that, and the sheep eemed trained. ; Beautiful animals, anmirably kept, they waste nothing in France. , ' - - mnes though unending fields of corn or grain, deep in grass and tens of thousands of acres, not used. - In France they use every foot of ground, waste nothing, not food or human labor, merf and women work long'hours, work hard with patience. The peasants' houses are beautiful and old, their animals well cared for. Along the coast of Brittany and the Vendee, men 'and women and chil dren work side by side. Men repair, at low tide, their fish nets colored light blue. The fishermen say "fish like color." On the flat lands you see little mounds of salt taken from the ocean by imprisoning waters in shallow pools for evaporation. Once "La Gabelle," a heavy tax on salt, dressed the mistresses of French kings and made life easy for three lucky classes, royalty, clergy and no bility. It was death to the peasant to escape "La Gabelle"by taking salt from the ocean. Conditions .ore better now." The king are sleeping in St. Denis, the few whose bones were not scattered during the Revolution. There are more schools than chateaux, more public libraries than gallows. The peasant is no longer forbidden to kill animals that- ate his crops because lords and ladies wanted the pleasure of riding over those crops to kill the animals themselves. But in every French family there is mourning.- Each earnest hard faced French woman tells you how many sons or brothers she had "left." INSTALLS NEW EQUIPMENT. Dr. A. H. Johnston has completed the installation of a complete X-ray unit, including radiographic and flouroscopic units for all kinds of photo work on stomach and Intestines at Morrow General hospital. This In stallation makes the hospital com pletely equipped now.
