A total registration of 80 young people attended the convention of , the Columbia Union, district 17 of the Christian Endeavor held at the local Church of Christ, Friday, Sat urday and Sunday and during all sessions there was a full attendance.

U. board, whose address Sunday night on the subject, "Coming to Him as the Lord of My Life," was greatly enjoyed by the large audience of Heppner people present for the closing session of the convention. The work of Paul Brown, Pacific coast field secretary of the United Society of Christian Endeavor, should receive Bpecial mention. He was an indispensable part of the convention but was particularly pleasing when acting as toaatmaster at the ban quet held at the Episcopal parish house on Saturday evening. The young people attending were enthusiastic and as a whole a well behaved group, illustrative of the fact that the present generation are up and coming in religious work and can carry on in fine style. They all expressed themselves as well pleased with the hospitality of the Heppner folks, and this paper does not hesi tate to say that the Heppner people were more than pleased to entertain the visitors, who m here from ev ery part of the Columbia Union, which reaches from lone and includes the Milton-Freewater section. The largest delegation present was from the Presbyterian church society of Pendleton, and the next largest was from Helix. The latter place had the greater number of points in the, contest for the banner, and were awarded the pennant again for the coming year. The officers for the coming year were installed at the Sunday eve ning service, Paul Brown conducting the ceremonies, which were appro priate and impressive. Saturday eve ning the budget for the . year was taken care of, Paul Brown and Dal las Rice leading in the wok of rais ing sufficient money to care for the actual expenses of the union for the ensuing year. This was accomplish ed in grand style and a much larger sum provided than has been raised heretofore, which assures the plans for progressive work adopted by the convention will be carried out.

T. A. w.ll be given by the Casford Concert Com pany, a notable musical entertain ment organization, on the evening of November 18th. As the new school auditorium will not be ready for occupancy on that evening, contrary to anonuncement last week, this lyceum number will be held at the Star theater. Through the courtesy of Mr. Sigsbee, who an nounces the showing of his program on Thursday only, the wieater has been made available. Trios of violin, piano and harp; duets of harp and violin; solos of harp and violin and a widely varied selection of readings, are features of this interesting program. Fern L. Casford, who heads the company, is well known to lyceum audiences, having spent several years in lyceum and Chautauqua, giving complete programs alone. She is a reader and impersonator of worth while talent, and an able pianist. Winifred Casford, a sister, is a violinist of unusual merit. She has studied under the direction of Carl Frederick Steckelburg and has been acclaimed one of his most gifted pa- pus. The third member of the company is Byrne Smith, harpist. Miss Smith's solo numbers upon the stately harp are an outstanding feature. The type of program, the skill with which it is presented and the poise and personality of the members of the company, combine to make an eve ning of genuine enjoyment. Heppner Takes lone Game by 1 2-6 Score (Heppnerian Reporter.) lone came near upsetting Hepp- ner's fond championship hopes Arm- sitice Day when she battled the lo cals off their feet in the first half. The visitors were unable to withstand the terrific onslaught of Johnson's warriors in the last half, however, and suffered defeat, 12-6. lone won the toss and chose to receive, getting the ball on their own 25 yard line, carrying it back to the middle of the field. Staging a left end run, lone was stopped three yards from Heppner's goal line, but a line buck followed by an end run netted them their only touchdown. The goal was not converted. In the second quarter the ball was played from one territory to another, neither team having a decided ad vantage and there was no scoring. . During intermission between halv es, Coach Johnson of Heppner talked to the local boys about their play ing. The result was that a more determined and fighting team went into the game for Heppner at the be ginning of the second half. Heppner received the ball at the beginning of the half, on her own 20 yard line. For the first part of the half, the ball remained in the center of the field, gradually work ing nearer the lone territory. Then the march started from Ione's 45 yard line. Thompson, fullback, made considerable yardage through the line. lone called time out to see if they could strengthen their team. Ione's forward wall was crumbling on every play and Gentry, captain of the local team, after a succes sion of ground-gaining plays, carried the ball across the line for his team's first touchdown. Goal was not con verted. At the end of the third quarter, Heppner again had the ball on Ione's 46 yard line, but lost it on downs. lone started a grand march down the field, Finding that "bucking the line" worked no longer, Lundell, lone quarterback, pulled an end run, but the team was penalized 15 yards for holding. This gave Heppner the break of the game with only 5 min utes left to play. It was Ione's third down and they were forced to kick. Gentry took the ball on a "criss-cross' around right end for 36 yards. Thompson and Benge, half backs carried the ball the remain ing distance for a touchdown, Thomp son scoring. Try for point was made on a line buck, but failed, Thompson for Heppner and Ritchie for lone did exceptionally good punt ing, being the best exhibition of this sort seen here this season, Thompson having a little the edge over his op ponent. Thompson was also one of the outstanding ball carriers of the game. The line-up: Oviatt le Swanson Robertson lb.

Stapleton Suddenly Dies at Blackhorse Home The call of death came very sud denly to F. A. Stapleton at his home at the Bell ranch in Blackhorse at about 10 o'clock Tuesday morning. He had returned from a trip to Lex ington just a short time before this hour, where be had taken some chil dren to school, and was apparently in the very best of health. On carry ing a dressed hog some 75 yards to the house and somewhat down hill, Mr. Stapleton slipped, but picking up the animal which weighed about 150 pounds, he carried it on into the house and laid it on the table, after which he sat in a chair to rest, when suddenly, and without the slightest warning he fell to the floor and ex pired instantly, not more than three minutes having elapsed from the time he reached the house and sat down. Dr. McMurdo was immediately called, and pronounced death the re. suit of B severe heart lesion. Funeral services are being held at Llks' Temple this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock under the auspices of Hepp ner Lodge No. 358, of which he was a member. Mr. Stapleton was also an ex-service man and a member of the American Legion post of this city.

New Map Shows Spray Road Aid for Which is - State Judge Benge and Commissioner Bleakman departed on Wednesday for Bend. At Arlington they were joined by Senator Bob Carsner of Spray.

It is hoped that the HEPPWER Upper Columbia Pennant at Stake in Game Here Saturday. , (Heppnerian Reporter.) Friday, November 11, the regular schedule of the members of the up per Columbia athletic league came to a close. Each team in the league met the other teams, with the result that Heppner and Condon are tied for the championship. Both of these teams are undefeated, each having won three games, and tied one; the latter being the 6 to 6 tie game be tween Heppner and Condon two weeks ago. The two teams have decided to play off the tie next Saturday, Nov ember 19, at Heppner, at 2 p. m. It was much desired to play the game on a neutral field, and with neutral officials. Since there is not a neutral field at an equal distance from botn schools, it was decided to play on either the Heppner or the Condon field, to be decided by the flip of a coin. The "flip" was in favor of Heppner. Neutral officials have been secured for the game. This is the first time that the Heppner high school football team has been this near a league cham pionship. Each boy has been put ting his whole heart into every game, and all have been playing a fine brand of ball. They are determined to continue this until the champion ship game is concluded. They are going out to win and place Heppner on the map. The people of Heppner and the entire surrounding community should teel proud of the team. The boyi are playing fine, clean games of football. They are deserving of your support and feel confident they will get it. Tickets are being sold for the chini- pionship game and it is hoped that everyone will buy, and be present. Heppner haa made the followifli record in league games this fall: Heppner 37, Fossil 6; Heppner 39. Arlington 0; Heppner 6, Condon 6; neppner Yi, lone 6.

Owing to the presentation of the second lyceum number at the Star theater tomorrow (Friday) night, the regular Thursday-Friday picture pro gram will be shown tonight only. Manager Sigsbee requests that his patrons keep this in mind and attend the program tonight. Now Being Sought Highway Commission necessary funds will be provided for in the budget of the state commis sion and federal department of roads, which is cooperating, and that next year may see the work done. Judge Benge has had a new map prepared, with the help of Mr. Carsner, and such changes as have been made in the road situation in the central Ore gon section are noted, and special emphasis placed on the road known as the Pendleton-Prineville cut-off, and Including the north and south Seven Injured When Truck Turns Turtle Twelve road workers had misfor tune heaped on misfortune Friday, when after being let off work at the Hardman camp of Smith & Smith, contractors, they were upset when being brought to town by Milton Smith. Seven of them suffered more or less severe injuries. The truck was on the Hardman grade, made slippery by recent rains, when it started weaving from side to side. In an attempt to straighten it up, a too short turn of the wheel was evidently made, and the truck turned over in the middle of the road. As sistance was secured immediately and the men brought to town where their injuries were dressed. Those injured were George Ryan, arm hurt; W. Twohey, left shoulder injured; R. Duplex, two ribs brok en; W. M. Smith, injury to ribs; S. Jack Matineau, arm hurt; Frank Som- mers, injury to arm, laceration of forehead and general shakeup. The men went to Portland the first of the week. WHEAT PREMIUMS AWARDED. County Agent Smith who returned home Friday from the "-!- Inter national Livestock exposition after having been detained few days by illness, announces the following pre miums on show grain awarded Mor row county farmers: A. A. McCabe, 2nd, Hard White; Theo. Anderson, 9th, Federation; H. Anderson, 8th, Federation; A. A. McCabe, 3rd, Hard Federation; R. L. Benge, 1st, Forty- fold; O. P. Ferguson, 1st, White Win ter Barley; Julian Rauch, 2nd, Blue Barley. As good a showing was not made this year as in some years pre vious, due largely to mixtures, the county agent believes. After the freeze out two years ago it was nec essary to ship in a great amount of seed wheat that was badly mixed. This contaminated the fields it will take several years to purify the strains again. W. B. Barratt & Son were the only winners from this county in the wool show. They book two firsts, one on Corriedale ram fleece and the other on fine ram fleece. BAD CHECKS PASSED. Two checks, marked "forged." were returned to two Heppner business heuses last week. Gordon's and Hum phreys Drug company were the firms "stung" on the checks. One Harry Kennedy passed them a week ago Sat urday night during a rush period at the stores. The checks, issued to him on the National Bank of Pendleton and signed J. Kilkenny, were for $20 each. Kennedy has dis appeared. The work reattMeWs' that of a forger who worked in Pendleton and Walla Walla recently, it is stat ed. IONE TURKEYS TO MARKET.

Special evangelistic meetings will be held at the Methodist church be ginning November 20. The Rev. S. A. Danford, D. D., is the evangelist. He is expected to be in the pulpit on Sunday morning. Come thou with us and we will do thee good. REV. F. R. SPAULDING, Pastor. by County From road from Pendleton. By a study of this map the importance of the Toad reaching from Pendleton via Hepp ner and connecting with the John Day highway near Spray can be real ized. Pendleton is now getting real ly interested in this road, if what we read in the East Oregonian is ex pressive of the real sentiment over that way, and working together with Heppner, there should be some real progress made toward the enrly com pletion of this cut-off. LEGION OBSERVES ARMISTICE DAY Armistice Day was fittingly ob served in Heppner by the local poBt American Legion, with a patriotic program at 11 o clock in the morning, Ione-Heppner high school football game in the afternoon, and a banquet and ball in the evening.

"Down and Out" is the subject of the evening sermon at the Church of Christ. The morning theme will be "Judging Another." Bible School and Christian Endeav or at the usual time. A welcome for all. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. I-Th Arthur BrkbtUM When They Steal Enough Women Not Extravagant A Problem for Justice Two Ate Seven or Eight The theory that you are safe in America if you steal ENOUGH may be shaken by the trial at Washington of gentlemen accused of stealing the Government's oil supply, by bribing the Secretary of the Interior. The trial was halted and the Jury dismissed by the judge on evidence as to the "fixing" of jurors. If it can be shown that money was used to fix jurors in this case, the fixers might go to jail. However, if big thieves can bribe a Secretary of the Interior and es cape punishment, even with the Su preme Court officially denouncing their dishonesty, bribing a juror or two may not make much difference. After all the talk about "extrava gant women" you will be interested in this fact, provided by the United States Department of Labor: Men, on the average, spend more for their clothes than women. The average for husbands is $71.38; for wives, M3.55. w-men are the economical half of the household, making ends meet, de nying themselves for their children and the future. Not to know it is not to know women or men. A killing that will puzzle -the Jury comes from McHenry County in Ill inois, ihe police announce that Wil liam Schmacher, twenty-eight, was innocent of the charge that he had killed his father. Schmacher told them "You are wrong. I waited for him to come into the barn, pulled the trigger and the shot almost blew his head off." His father made him work before and after school when he was nine years old1, took him out of school for good when he was twelve, and made him do a man's work. He beat the boy s mother, repeatedly, knocked her onto a hot stove and left her n. a pitchfork into the lee of a younger brother so far that the boy could not pull it out without help. just Detore the murder he knocked his wife to the floor with a blow in the face, accusing her of infidelity, saying a farmhand was the real fath er of the twenty-eight-year-old son. inat son killed him. The neigh bors 'corroborate the story of cruelty. it win not Be easy to get a convic tion in that case. The city of Syracuse spends on motoring seventeen cents out of every dollar of income and old fashioned finance, wagging its head, says "extravagancjk." Buying new automobiles takes ten and a quarter cents, gasoline three and a half cents, ancmuriH tnree cents. And that! the best investment of seventeen cents on the dollar that Syracuse couia mane. If a hODtOad Could bnv vinn seventeen cents on his dollar and fly, instead of painfully hopping in the dust, he'd be a fool not to spend the seventeen cents. Automobiling is flying. Get a car if you have not got one, or a better car if you can afford it. The Vancouver Sun tell ma h.t one hundred ships are chartered to carry 20,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat from Vancouver to Britain and the Continent in the next three months. All these ships make many cruisers necessarv for Britain. W too, should build fast cruisers, for e may some day wake up and have a commercial navy. Meanwhile, our Panama Canal- through which all the 100 ships of grain will pass is offered to our Canadian and British brothers with no extra charge for the fact that our money built it. They pay just what our own few ships pay. Not every nation would do that. A fishinr boat hnrl drifts fnnm thousand miles when it was picked up on our northwest coast. White bones on the deck showed the part mat cannibalism had played in the tragedy of the sea. Two that died, 'nt of all, were in tact. The others, seven or eight, had been eaten to prolong the lives of the two. No man can say what he would do under certain circumstances, unless he has been tested under those circumstances. LODGE MEETING POSTPONED. Fred E. Farrior, Worshipful Master of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A, F. 4 A. M., announces that the regular meet ing of the order on Saturday evening of this week will not be held, and that a special meeting will be held Tuesday evening. There will be work in the M.

Miller this week filed suit in the circuit court for divorce against Galena Miller, his wife, on a charge of cruel and inhuman treatment. Their four-year-old daughter, Delma Irene, is now In the custody of the defendant, who is living apart. They were married June 7, 1922, at Pendleton. By
