. LARGE AUDIENCE
Versatile Program Presented by
American Glee Club; Next
' Number in Auditorium.
The four versatile and accomplished
members of the Americal Glee Club
who opened the Heppner Lyceum sea
son at the Star theater Tuesday eve
ning completely won the large au
dience. Only a few scattering seats
were unfilled.
Intermingled with quartette ar

phone duets, bell ringing and xylo
phone playing, covering a wide range
of classical and popular selections
of both serious and lighter vein,
their program was presented straight
through without a pause. The hour
and a half entertainment passeU so
quickly that many surprised faces
were noted when the conclusion was
announced.
Considering weather conditions,
cold and rainy on that evening, Su
perintendent Burgess, who has had' a
large part of the care of promoting
the lyceum, declares the P. T. A. com-
ittee is well satisfied with the start
ing number and the - attendance.
Though a large number of season
tickets were sold beforehand, $104
was received at the ticket widow on
Tuesday evening. The remainder of
tne lyceum course will be held in the
new school auditorium-gymnasium,
the arrangement of which, it is be
lieved, will be ideal for such presen-
tttions. For those who have not ye,
purchased season tickets, Mr. Bur
gess suggests it is not too late now
co do so, as a saving of 40 cents may
be made on the four remaining num
bers by buying the season ticket at

Health Work in Schools
Vital to Fighting T. B.
More than 12,200 people have been
killed in Oregon by tuberculosis dur
ing the past twenty years, according
to a compilation made by the Ore
gon Tuberculosis association and re
leased today. This total has been
rolled up in spite of the downward
trend of the tuberculosis death rate.
If the 1907 death rate had con
tinued down to the present time," the
article continues, "we would have
lost more than 820 Oregon people
with this disease in 1926. But the
rate has fallen from 89 deaths per
100,000 people in 1900 to 61 per 100,-
000 in 1926. Even with our large in
crease in population, the number of
tuberculsois deaths was down to 628
n 1926, or nearly 300 less than would
have been lost if the old rate had not
been cut down."
The Oregon Tuberculosis associa
tion heartily endorses a statement
in the editorial columns of the Med
ford Mail-Tribune, October 30th, ac
cording to Lloyd Wilcox, publicity
director of the association. the
statement follows:
Education is of value only as it
contributes to the individual's ca
pacity to meet the problem of life
successfully. One of the greatest
problems is the maintenance of
health. An educational system tnat
does everything for the mind and
nothing fo- the body, fails before it
starts."
"Following out its belief in this
principle," said Mr. Wilcox in com
menting upon the editorial, "the Ore
gon Tuberculosis association and its
19 affiliated county public nealth as
sociations have continually worked
to stimulate health teaching through
the public schools and to promote
public health' nursing by supplying
demonstration nursing service.
"This work is paid for by the an
nual sale of Christmas Seals in all
parts of Oregon. The Christmas Seal
sale opens this year on November 25."
FOOTBALL TEAM BANQUETS.
The Heppner town football team
enjoyed a banquet at the Elkhorn
restaurant at 9 o'clock Sunday eve
ning. Most of the team with a tew
invited euests partook of a fine clain
teed with much "trimmin's," and
football, pro and con, was the thane
for toasts under the direction of Paul
Aiken, toastmaster. The boys con
sidered the season so far quite suc
cessful, though only two games, both
,v i t h Lexington, have been played.
Many signified their willingness and

RED CROSS ROLLCALL
TO START TOMORROW
WITH ONE DAY DRIVE
For a most worthy cause get
out your dollar.
Tomorrow you will be solicited
for membership in the American
National Red Cross, the annual roll
call starting on Armistice Day and
carrying through to the 24th of
this month. But locally only one
drive will be made tomorrow.
During the war Mosxow county
was the first to go over the top for
the Red Cross in the state. It can
and should be done again. The
work of the Red Cross is proved.
E very oo i should belong.
In th ; last two years more than
$500 has been expended by the lo
cal chapter in relief work. A good
portion of this went to the Miss
issippi flood relief, but the rest
was expended locally in helping
destitute families and other deserv
ing cases. The Red Cross works
quietly and effectively little noise
being made about the work done
and many people have known noth
ing of it. Still the good has been
accomplished. ,
Of every membership taken lo
cally, 50c is sent to the national or
ganization and the remainder is
kept in the local chapter fund. For
this reason local officers urge club
subscriptions, in which families or
other groups pool their dollars and
take out one membership. Those
who can afford to do so are also
urged to take longer memberships.
Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, chairman
of the local chapter, is in charge of
the drive tomorrow. Paul M. Gem
mell is treasurer.

CITY FATHERS PLAN
E
Mudhole at Hotel, Iron
Fence on Baltimore to
Be Remedied.
FRANCHISE IS ASKED
Telephone Company Finishes 30-Year
Operation; Street and Water
Main Work Progressing.
In line with the city of Heppner's
improvement policy which has in
cluded in the past month much street
improvement and relaying of larger
water mains, comes action at the
council meeting Monday night call
ing for the rebuilding of an iron
fence on Baltimore street and the
elimination of the mudhole on Willow
street adjacent to Hotel Heppner.
The matter of a new franchise for
the Pacific Telephone, and Telegraph
company was also presented in the
form of an ordinance.
The iron fence will be rebuilt on
the concrete retaining wall by the
Magnusen property on Baltimore,
being one of the main avenues of
approach to the school. The fence
that once, was placed there was de
stroyed by some delinquent juveniles
a few years ago. The absence consti
tutes a menace to scholo children, in
the opinion of the council, and it was
consequently ordered to be replaced.
To do away with an unsightly in
convenience to visitors who park at
the hotel lobby entrance, the city
authorized the grading up of Willow
street by the hotel and graveling to
the curb, with proper drainage facil
ities to care for the waste water
from Main street that in the past has
run into the street at this point,
forming a bad mud hole.
First and second reading was made
of a proposed ordinance to grant the
Pacific Telephone and Telegraph com
pany a new 30-year franchise, the
company's present franchise expiring
next month. The first franchise was
granted thirty years ago to the old
Home Telephone company. The or
dinance does not ask for an exclu
sive franchise and waa looked upon
favorably with the exception- of one
clause relating to the - construction
of poles, which in the opinion of
Councilman Sweek, does not give the
city sufficient protection. This mat
ter will be taken up with W. D. De
Varney, the company's franchise man,
and the third reading will be made at
the December meeting if a special
meeting is not called before that
time.
Mr. DeVarney who was in Heppner
Monday but unable to stay for the
council meeting because of a press
ing engagement elsewhere, declares
that the company has been going be
hind on their operations in this city
largely due to the extensive improve
ments in their service here".
The matter of fencing the highway
near the corner of the school build
ing at the junction of the city street
with the Oregon-Washington highway
was also discussed by the city fath
ers. A real menace to motorists ex
ists the way the road at this point
now stands, they believe, and steps
may soon be taken to remedy this
in the way mentioned.
Work of relaying the water mains
on Gale street is progressing rap
idly, three blocks having been com
pleted. The pipe being put in is
three inches in diameter to replace
the former two-inch pipe, which was
not large enough to supply the dis
trict adequately. Preparations are
also being made for relaying the
mains on May street in larger pipe.
The city is putting in shape nearly
all of the principal streets of the
city this fall, and more rock is being
blasted out at the city crusher for
graveling. While the council is as
sured that the permanent street im
provement of the kind they are now
doing is the best way to do it, it is
believed a little more money will need
to be appropriated to care for the
maintenance next year.
The budget committee was appoint
ed at this meeting to meet some time
this week, the day not being yet an
nounced. Frank Gilliam, Jas. Thorn
son and Gay M. Anderson were ap
pointed the three freeholders to act
with the city finance committee made
up of C. L. Sweek, M. t. Clark and
L. E. Bisbee, to draw up next year's
budget.
Pilot Rock Turkeys
Go to Swift .and Co
Pilot Rock turkey growers who
awarded their birds to Swift & Co.
Tuesday night, will receive 40c or bet
ter. The company mimed was the
only bidder, and a fixed offer was not
made. Two .carloads from the Rock
will be ready for the Thanksgiving
market, according to report. The
birds will be killed Monday and ship
ped Friday for the Portland market.
It was believed it might be necessary
to get "roughers" out of Portland to
assist in the dressing.
Dan Boyd, representative of Swift
& Co. at Pilot Rock, expressed the
belief that the average price paid
would be higher than that for which
the output of the Iduho Turkey Grow
ers association was awarded recently.
N. F. Lawson, who passed through
town the first of the week on his way

announced the death of his mother
on Oct. 29, at Newberg.
PROCLAMATION.
In view of the fact that, on No
ember 11, 1918, an armistice waa
signed after a great world conflict
marking an outstanding milestone
in the progress of peace and civil
zation; and whereas the memories
of that day are fresh in the minds
of all who were then living, and
ita symbolism ia dear to their
hearts, it is fitting and proper that
November 11, 1927, the anniversary
of that day, be set aside as a mem
orial; therefore, I, E. G. Noble,
mayor of the City of Heppner, do
hereby proclaim said November 11,
1927, a legal holiday and urge the
citizens of the city to join in with
the Heppner Post American Legion
in making the day successful in its
purpose.
E. G. NOBLE, Mayor.

Heppner and Condon
Tie For Championship
Heppnerian Reporter.
Last Saturday, November 5, the
Heppner and Condon high school foot
ball teams met on the local field and
battled to a sensational 6 to 6 tie.
Both teams made a desperate fight
to put over the winning points but
they were so evenly matched that
scoring was not an easy matter.
Condon won the toss and chose to
kick. Heppner received and returned
to the 40-yard line. They started a
grand march toward the goal only to
lose the ball on a fumble which was
recovered by a sharp-eyed Condon
man. The possession of the ball
passed from one team to another all
during the first quarter . Neither
team was able to- score during that
period, although Heppner had two
fine chances but failed to penetrate
the strong Condon line for needed
yardage, which added to costly fum
bles, resulted in no scoring.
Shortly after the beginning of the
second quarter Condon, failing to
moke yaidage, punted to Heppner.
Gentry, Heppner quarteback and cap
tain, receive dthe ball and carried
it, with the aid of splendid inter
ference, through the entire Cordon
team on a pretty 65-yard run for the
only Heppner score of the game.
They failed to complete a pass for
their extra point, thus making the
score 6 to 0 in favor of Heppner.
The second half started with each
team still determined to fight to the
finish ard win the game. Neither
team threatened seriously in the third
quarter, bsth teams lesort'.ng to
passing and punting.
In the fourth quarter Condon open
ed up with a passing attack which
netted them a touchdown. They
failed to convert the try for point,
making the score tied at 6-6. Hepp
ner then came back desperately try
ing to break the tie. The game end
ed with the ball in Heppner's posses
sion on the Condon 18-yard line.
Those who witnessed the game en
joyed a well played battle for grid
iron honors. Neither team had a de
cided edge on the other. Condon ex
celled in punting, although the Hepp
nerites had the ball in the Condon
territory a greater portion of the
game. Heppner and Condon are still
tied for the league championship.
Each team has two victories and one
tie game. On Armistice Day, Friday,
lone plays Heppner at Heppner in
what promises to be a very interest
ing encounter. On that same day
Condon meets Fossil. If Condon and
Heppner both win these contests they
will still be tied for championship
honors.
The game tomorrow starts prompt
ly at 2:00 o'clock.

What Will America Be?
Infantile Paralysis.
The Soil of Florida.
The United States Labor Bureau
says American women spend $5,000,-
000 a day, $1,825,000,000 a year, on
beauty shops and aids to beauty. Wo
men spending the five million a day
would be more beautiful if they kept
the money. But spending it makes
them happy, and happiness is worth
its price.
Conrad Zeller, sixty-five years old.
father of twenty children, retires
from post office work on a pension
of $60 a month. His average pay from
Uncle Sam during twenty-eight years
was $85 per month.
Not very generous from a country
rich enough to let its women spend
eighteen hundred millions a year on
wrinkle eradication, face lifting, arti
ficial curls and complexion.
Another step in travel by air.
German and British dirigibles, each
of 6,000,000 cubic feet capcity, will
race around the world next year.
They expect to make the trip in
twelve days, with two stops for fuel.
That makes the world smaller than
it was, and would interest Jules
Verne. The Germans, with new light
Diesel engines in their dirigibles,
will surprise the world.
What is America, as regards its
people, what is it destined to be?
Indians were here first, Columbus
came, then the Pilgrim fathers deter
mined to worship God as they pleased
and make everybody else worship
him as they pleased. They would
not recognize today's populations.
The city of Chicago contains 450,000
Germans, 400,000 Poles, 300,000 Jews,
300,000 Irish, 200,000 Italians, 200,-
000 Bohemians and Czecho-Slovaka,
125,000 Swedes, 50,000 Norwegians,
and 60,000 Greeks. Not exactly what
you would call "pure Nordic."
What type, what civilization will
come out of that mixture?
Infantile paralysis should interest
government, national,, state and mu
nicipal, more than it seems to do.
There are 4,000 cases in the United
States now. Nobody knows how the
disease starts and spreads. The di
sease breaks out, nobody knows how
or why, in dark city streets and in .
distant sunlit beautifuL-valleys, more
than a thousand miles from either
ocean, and five thousand, feet above
them.
Such a mysterious disease mong
swine or cattle would be investigated
and fought by. the Government en
ergetically. The Rockefeller Institute is doing
admirable work, but a nation of 116,-
000,000 should not leave such a figtu
to the generosity of one man.
Forty Florida newspapers combined
to publish, every two weeks, a spec
ial supplement, called "The Farm
and Grove Section." It will supply
people in and out of the State with
full information about Florida's ag
ricultural resources and the way to
develop them.
Mr. Frank R. Hammett, of Jack
sonville, will have charge of ais use
ful work.
Wealth and fertility unliimited are
in Florida's soil.
The "tourist" will always be one
of the great Florida crops, but Flor
ida in a few years will look back with
wonder to the days when the tourist
was the "principal" crop of the state,
and its chief financial reliance.
Industries will be established and
factories built throughout Florida as
they ure building now in California.
No one can estimate the future cf
that great state, only TEMPORARILY
set back by reul estate booming and
foolishness.
Albert Edward Davies, twenty-eight,
was told by doctors that his three-year-old
daughter must die of septic
pneumonia; it ws only a matter of
days. The child was in dreadful
agony. The father drowned her in
the bathtub to end her suffering. "I
could not bear to see her suffer any
longer," he said when he gave himself
up.
The judge said he was bound to
tell the jury: "Had this poor child
been an animal instead of a human
being the man would have been actu
ally liable to m-ishment if he had
not put it out of its misery. That
is the law." The jury acquitted the
man.
Birth control ladies will be inter
ested in his case. His wife was tu
beruclar, had four children in four
years, died in the fourth childbirth.
The law would have punished any
body for showing her how to avoid
that.
Harold VanHorn, who is confined
at the Heppner Surgical hospital ia
reported by his physician, Dr. Mc
Murdo, to be very slowly recovering,
but yet in a critical condition. Re
port of his accident was in last issue
of this paper. The young man's fa
ther arrived on Monday from his
home in Missouri to be at the bed
side of his son.
