Isieppner Volume 44, Number 43. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, JAN 12, 1928 Subscription $2.00 a Year HELEN SIMPSON GOMES MONDAY Actress to Give Lyceum Number at School ,. Auditorium." Appearing as the third number of the Lyceum course, Miss Helen Simpson, an actress of exceptional ability will present something new in the way of entertainment pro grams when she appears here Mon day evening at 8 o'clock In the new school auditorium. Miss Simpson effers a program of costumed impersonations of well known actresses in their favorite plays. These sketches are especial ly arranged for Miss Simpson, and form very complete monologues, giving a comprehensive idea of the plays from which they are taken. Miss Simpson also sings, playing her own accompaniment, giving se lections from light opera and musi cal comedy. Discriminating audiences and cri tics who have heard Miss Simp son are unanimous in their com mendation and praise, not only for this distinctively new form of en tertainment with its opportunity for the study of the best in drama and comedy as found in the list of successful plays presented, but the personal knowledge gained of these actresses through this Inti mate and unusal portrayal of them in their favorite roles. Among the famous actresses im personated by Miss Simpson, are Lorette Taylor, Ethel Barrymore, Julia Arthur, Jane Cowl, Rose Stahl and Maude Adams. Her program is an evening of real charm.

NEW TYPE ADOPTED BY THIS NEWSPAPER The first, glance at this week's Heppner Gazette Times will proba bly reveal to our readers a change in typographic appearance a change, we believe, that will make for easier reading and less eye strain. The change is occasioned by the introduction this week of a new type face, a type that is being selected by a large number of daily papers all over the country, because it has been specially developed for and adapted to newspaper compo sition. At a considerable expense, this newspaper has equipped Its Lino type with matrices for the making of this type, known as the Ideal news face and produced by the In tcrtype Corporation of America. Two sizes will be used, 7 point for the main body of the paper and 6 point for legal notices and auxil iary matter. For a long time it has been known that the old Century types used by us, as well as a majority of all newspapers, were not easily read. Leading type designers have been studying the situation for years, and the Ideal news face, along with smlilar faces made by other companies, which they have created, has been acclaimed by leading typographers, optometrists, educators, librarians, and others to be far more easily read than any of the old newspaper types. While this new face appears to be larger, it is in fact the same point size,, and almost as much matter may be gotten in the same space as with the type formerly used. The new face has been made with heavier lines, with letters more regularly formed, therein ly ing the secret of its legibility. At the same time beauty of line has been retained, making it pleasing in appearance. We believe the change will be appreciated by our readers. At least we hope it will be, as the paper will appear in this dress from now on. The straight com position, or main reading matter, In Our booster edition to be off the press in a few weeks, will also ap pear in this type ns one of the evi dences of progress of the newspa per Itself that should make the message of the entire edition more forceful. If you like the change, we would appreciate your saying so.

BIG BOOSTER EDITION OVER THE TOP; ALL COUNTY SUPPORTING The work of compiling the com ing big booster edition of The Gazette Times has now started in earnest and even the mechanical work Is now well under way. In order to get this mammoth edi tion out In due time the work must commence now. We will Appreciate getting In your copy at an early date. The whole county has been canvassed and the sentiment of the people shows they are 100 per cent for it and consider It the greatest publicity venture ever launched.

Greater Heppner and a Greater Morrow County Straight Ahead. Co-opertlon Moans Success. The tntersts of one are the Interests of all. Send copies to the four winds. Business Men Like Booster Edition Idea A canvass of the local business men and interviews with them dis close the fact that the majority is strongly in favor of supporting in every way possible our coming spe cial booster edition. A case in point that we are pleas ed to quote is an interview with M. L. Case who is well showing his confidence in the future of this country by his continued invest ments. The new Case apartment house will be a real credit to this city and will always stand as a monument to its builder. Mr. Case says in part: "I believe that the coming special publicity edition of the Gazette Times will result in much good and that we have been very negligent in the past in not, through more cooper ative effort, advertising the advan tages of this section to the outside world. I personally have every faith in the future of this country. I believe that the coming special booster edition of the Gazette Times is a most worthy cause and merits every support This in par ticular because it is accomplished through a home enterprise that ever stands for support of home industries and discourages mail or der and out of town trade." We need more boosters like Mr. Case. Nursery Wheat Not Injured by Cold Snap A thorough examination of the different varieties of grain sown in the Lexington wheat nursery last fall, all of which was up and doing well when the recent cold snap came on, reveals the fact that none of it shows apparent injury, accord ing to the report of County Agent Smith, who on Wednesday fore noon made the nursery a visit Fears were entertained that the freeze would injure the wheat and perhaps kill off some varieties, es pecially the soft Federation. Mr. Smith states that this variety in the nursery has stood the zero wea ther all right,' and now that the warm spell has come It is apparent that the wheat has come through safely. We hope this may prove true the county over. P. T. A. Has Interesting Meeting on Tuesday The first meeting of the year was started off most encouragingly by the Heppner P. T.

Pendleton was host again this year to the Oregon Woolgrowers' association, and the many sheep raisers of Morrow county who at- tended come home with the report that it was the best convention the woolmen of the state have ever had. The registration of sheepmen showed about 100 in attendance from over the state, and County Agent C. W. Smith, who was there, asserts that fully 40 per cent of the number were Morrow county flock masters and those interested in the sheep industry here. There was plenty of good enter tainment furnished by the Pendle ton people, and with the very ex cellent features of the program there was no dull moments for the visitors. The place of meeting for next year was left open, and we are In formed that the convention will be invited to Heppner provided it is found the matter meets with the cooperation of the business people here. It has been many years since Heppner entertained the woolgrow ers, and there should be no hesi tancy on the part of the people here In asking for next year's meeting. K. G. Warner of Pilot Rock was re-elected president of the associa tion, and R. A. Thompson of Hepp ner, vice president by unanimous vote of the convention, and Fred Phillips of Baker was chosen sec ond vice president Many subjects of interest to the members were ably discussed. "The production of lambs is near ing the point of consumption and the increase of sheep must be met with increased use of lamb unless the grower is willing to sacrifice the greater part of his revenue," was the statement of Frank J. Ha genbarth, president of the National Wool Growers' association, who was one of the principal speakers before the convention. Mr. Hagen barth thinks the sheepmen are safe as far as wool production is con cerned, and no fears need be felt that wool will be over-produced. The public should be educated to the use of more lamb, as the rev enue from lamb forrms 60 per cent of the income of sheepmen. Mr. Hagenbarth also expressed himself as favoring co-operation in the mar keting of wool, providing the co operating groups do not try to cut prices to low levels. Senate bill No. 1969, known as the Smoot national forest bill, was ap proved by the association in a reso lution urging that the Oregon dele gation to congress support the mea sure. Congress is asked to appropri ate $2,500,000 for proper carrying on of predatory-animal and rodent control work in 11 western range, states, in another resolution adopt ed by the association. The resolu tion points out that a large portion of the state of Oregon is in national forest reserve and such grounds furnish the breeding place for the predatory animals which annually make great inroads on livestock. The use of wool substitutes is de plored in another resolution indors ing the efforts of the wool council of America in its national advertis ing campaign to show the superior value and economy of woolen fab rics and thereby increase the de mand for wool. The sheep men are opposed to the creation of additional public parks or game preserves where such will tend to restrict state development Sheep of the various counties of Oregon are assessed at rates vary ing from $3 to $12 per head and the woolgrowers will urge the next ses sion of the legislature to enact leg islation for the tax commission to equalize the assessment in the var ious -counties. The board of sheep commissioners in Idaho are requested to modify the requirements existing covering the movements of sheep from Ore gon to Idaho, which became opera tive against Oregon sheep on Aug ust 28, 1924, as the condition caus ing the resolution to be passed has long been removed. BURIAL AT PENDLETON. Funeral services were held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning in the Christian church here for Elizabeth Elnora Goom, who died in this city on Wednesday night Milton W. Bower, pastor, delivered the ser mon, following which the remains were taken to Pendleton for inter ment. Tho deceased was born in Glasgow, Montana, Dec. 15. 1902, and was married Dec. 20, 1923, to W. H. Goom, who survives, with two small children. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Sunday school at 9:45 o'clock.
