Utonc society. Simmer teed Volume 45, Number 4. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, Apr. 12, 1928 Subscription $2.00 a Year WEST wins meet nmmiiA Inter-County Declamatory Contest to Follow . Local Fray. On May 5th, the winners of the Morrow County Declamatory con test will meet the winners pt the Umatilla County Declamatory con test for district honors at the pub lic school auditorium in Heppner. This important step was taken this . week by those behind declamation work In the two counties, and comes as an adjunct to the county contest to be held Saturday, April 28, In the auditorium. From all Indications the third an nual declamatory contest of Mor row county will be much larger and better than either of the two pre ceding. More and more schools throughout the county are taking an active interest and are entering contestants and with the enlarged facilities for holding it an ever larg er and more enthusiastic audience Is expected. The Morrow County Declamatory league was organized three years ago and every school in the county is a member. Every school boy and girl in the county has a chance to enter the contest and win a prize. Competent judges from outside the county are selected and on the de cision of these, gold and silver med als are awarded the winners. In order to defray the expenses of the judges and the purchase of medals an admission will be charged. On the two previous occasions the con test has hardly broken even, leaving a slight deficit to be made up. How ever, with the increased housing fa cilities and the larger Interest be ing taken it is hoped that a better financial situation will result this year. It is hoped that the inter-county contest may become an annual af fair. Competent judges will be se cured this year and prizes awarded the winners. Tuberculosis Symptoms Discussed by Dr. Otis (From State Board of Health.) "There are various symptoms which the patient, as well as the physician, has learned to associate with possible pulmonary tuberculo sis," declared Dr. Edward O. Otis, In discussing the Early Diagnosis Campaign which state and local tuberculosis associations conducted on a nation-wide basis during March. For 25 years Dr. Otis was professor of pulmonary diseases at Tufts Medical college, Boston, Mas sachusetts. He has been a special ist in tuberculosis in Boston since 1880, and is the author of several standard works on tuberculosis. "Spitting of blood Invariably sends the patient post-haste to the doctor, although It does not always denote pulmonary tuberculosis. A long drawn out cold or cough, loss of appetite and digestive disturb ances are suggestive symptoms. Other symptoms are loss of weight and strength, or increasing fatigue. With women, cessation or intermis sion of the menstrual flow period Is a suspicious Bymptom. No one of these symptoms may be caused by an active tuberculosis, but they are highly suggestive, and should lead a person straight to his doctor's of fice for a physical examination of the lungs. "The past history of the patient is most important What the doctor wants to know Is the general health history of his life from the cradle to the present moment Has he been a 'contact case'? What chil dren's diseases has he had, partic ularly whooping cough, for this dis ease is prone to leave the lungs in a susceptible condition. Has he been exposed to mineral "or metallic dust? Has he had sufficient rest and sleep and proper nourishment?' In brief, the doctor wishes to find out any event or habit in his life that may have a bearing on his present condition. It Is a strange fact that patients often lie to a doctor In the hope of obtaining a favorable diag nosis, so I personally feel that It Is desirable for a physician to ask the necessary questions In obtaining the history himself so he may ob serve his patient both as to his .physical appearance, his mentality and his honesty. "The temperature is also an im portant fact, but, to mean very much, must be taken three times a day for a week. The patient's observation Is usually that his tem perature rises during the afternoon if active tuberculosis is present In the early diagnosis the doctor will probably not And tubercle bacilli in the sputum, but will perhaps ad vise that it should be examined sev eral times. It might even be thought advisable to have x-ray plates taken. It Is well always to remember that the most Important evidence in making an early diag nosis of pulmonary tuberculosis are the symptoms carefully elicited and studied. "Whatever the situation, the pa tient's duty is to go to his doctor at the first unusual symptom. In the case of pulmonary tuberculosis, hope of cure lies in early discovery, so let your doctor decide. Miss Emmalou Weder of Yakl ma, Wash., Is visiting this week at the home of her sister, Mrs. u. a. Flory. Pendleton Masons to Make Heppner a Visit The members of Heppner Lodge No. 69, A. F. & A.

Spaulding of this city delivering the sermon, and bur ial was In the Hardman cemetery under the auspices of Heppner Post American Legion, of which the de ceased was a member.

The United States Civil Service commission has sent out a circular letter to advertising managers of newspapers and periodicals thruout the country citing figures which in dicate the practical worthlessncss of widely advertised correspondence courses In perparation for forest ranger examinations. The commission says in the letter that It has made a survey of the ex amination papers of 1081 comptci- tors In the forest ranger examina tion held last October, disclosing the following results: Of 675 competitors who had no correspondence training, 189 passed the examination. Of 337 competitors who had taken a. correspondence course in prepar ation for the examination, exactly 18 passed. Sixty-nine were noncommittal as to training In advance. All of these failed. The commission quoted the fol lowing statement from a circular recently Issued by the United States Forest Service regarding advertis ing of correspondence schools which give training for forest ranger ex aminations: "Many of the statements In these advertsiements are misleading and in some cases absolutely false. These advertisements frequently convey the Impression that the for est ranger's job is largely a play time job, or a convenient means for an outing in the woods, while, as a matter of fact, the position of for est ranger is a permanent one of considerable responsibility, requir ing arduous work often under diffi cult conditions, and with definite re quirements as to experience and ability. Forest Service officials doubt the value of correspondence schools under ordinary circum stances In furnishing proper prep aration for forest ranger positions." WASCO PIONEER REUNION. The Old Wasco County Pioneer association announce that they will hold their 7th annual reunion In the civic auditorium at The Dalles on Thursday, May 3rd, 1928.

See Stanley Minor or Orrln Blsbee, DUTCH OPERETTl COMING HPe!L 25 Annual School Production Expected to Surpass Former Offerings. Windmills, clog dnaces, Dutch dialect bright colored tulips and winsome Holland maidens are all combined to make the annual op eretta of Heppner high school an unusually colorful and musical af fair. Where can one find tulips but in Holland? And acting upon this hunch Professor McSpindle and his group of botany students land in Holland in search of rare speci mens, and they certainly find them! Many unusual complications face the group of American students, and American pluck Anally tri umphs over the plots of the villain, and everyone finds hia or her tu lips! In point of ryhme, rythm and plot as well as in the melody and swing of its music, the operetta is easily superior to the average high school production. Because of conflicting dates the production has been put off until somewhat later than the annual operettas are usually given. April 25th has been set as the fate for the production. All members of the cast bid fair to make names for themselves as future operetta stars. Clair Cox in the role of Burgomaster Von Oos ter and Ellis Thomson as his clerk, Hans, supply a considerable amount of the fun, while Gerald Slocum and Bob Turner as American high school students, proceed to show the burgomaster and his clerk a few American tricks that they did not learn in high school. The part of McSpindle, the near sighted botany prof, Is well filled by John Conder, and playing oppo site him, In the role of Aunt Anna, a staid and lovable Dutch lady, Is Margaret Notson. Of course, the story would be in complete without a heroine, so Pat Monahan obligingly becomes the winsome Christina- and captures one of the young Americans, while her friend Katinka, played by Anna j McDaid, accounts for the other one. Then In addition to these the "Dutch villagers" appear in a num ber of songs that are both witty and pretty. " Mrs. Walter Moore is directing the music and Mrs. Harold Cohn has charge of the folk dances and steps which assures the fact that those features of the operetta will be suc cessful. All told the production gives every promise of being suc cessful and as the first operetta to be held in the new building, Its ap pearance , is being awaited with some Interest by the community. Former Resident Here Dies at Weiser, Idaho The following account of the death of Charles M. Jones, many years a resident of this cltyt and engaged in the barber business here, is sent us by Maurice Ball, of Council, Idaho; this account of the death of Mr. Jones is from a Wei ser paper. Charles M. Jones, resident of Weiser for about twenty years, died here Saturday evening at the age of seventy years. He leaves a wife, an adopted daughter and other rel atives here and at Nampa. Mr. Jones was born at Mt Pleas ant, Iowa, and when two years old moved to Pasadena, California, with his parents. During his resi dence here the deceased was em ployed as barber, having owned a shop of his own and working at others. There were five children by a for mer marriage, all of whom are dead. A son, Roy, died in Panama about six weeks ago and Mr. Jones planned to meet the body on Its arrival In San Francisco, March 24. Funeral services were held Tues day afternoon from the Methodist church with Mrs. Robert Smylie of ficiating. Burial was at Hlllcrest, beside a son who cut the corner stone for the Weiser Methodist church of which the deceased was an early member. A quartette, A. D. Stanton, Claude Allen, E. W. Horner and H. P. Cummock, sang two numbers at the service. We judge the death of Mr. Jones must have been the 18th of March but there was no date on the clip ping to Indicate just when his death did occur. Mr. Ball's letter enclos ing clipping was dated April 7. WHEAT BRINGS $1.25. F. R. Brown of Brown Warehouse company, this week bought three cars of wheat, 1927 crop, paying therefor $1.25 per bushel.

LOCAL EWS ITEMS County Clerk Anderson has been busy this week sending out cards certifying the registration lists of the county. Every registered voter to date is getting one of these cards and it is a reminder that the person receiving It has his or her- name on the lists in the precinct as shown by the record. On this card Is the notation: "You need not register again for state or county elections unless you remove from the pre cinct named on the card, or have failed to vote during a two-year period." If being registered in the precinct does not meet with the ap proval of the voter, he should not fail to re-register, as electors can not be sworn in on election day. These little cards should prove ben eficial to each elector, and they should follow the admonition, "keep this card."

Bowre, with Mrs. Roy Missil- dine at the piano. The singers were all in good form, and their work in ensemble, trios, duets, quartets and solos was well received by all present. The theme of the cantata was in harmony with the Easter season, and was a faithful presen tation of the events leading up to Easter morn and the great climax of that event In the Christian re ligion. The presentation of the Eas ter cantata emphasized again the pleasure to be derived from bring ing the singers of the community together, a'-.d other historical days should be remembered in a like manner.

Mrs. Ethel McDaniel. Mr. and Mrs. Sam McDaniel and Family. BOY SCOUTS. Mr. Douglas Hawley, the scout executive of the Blue Mountain Council, will be in Heppner Thurs day, April 19, to meet with Troop 61 of Heppner. We are planning a father-and-son banquet and a big pow-wow. Mr. Moore wants all the boys out at our next meeting this coming Tuesday. Of Reorganization Being Ef fected for Leage Opener at lone Next Sunday. Heppner's unseasoned ball toss ers stubbed their toe Sunday when they met the Pendleton Buckaroo team on Rodeo field. The Pendle ton gang showed mid-season form and enjoyed the game as a little -batting practice. We could not say for sure, as they came in so fast, but it seems there were something like 16 of the visitors crossed the home platter while but one lone Heppner lad was able to do the trick. Three pitchers, Myers, Warmuth and Bettles, performed for the vis itors, all showing their arms to be worknig nicely, while Drake, work ing out for the first time this sea son, did not want to sacrifice his arm, hence lobbed them across for the Bucks to swing on. This they did nicely and on one occasion pre sented their entire line-up at the plate to view the deliveries. It was merely a case of an unor ganized team versus one well or ganized. Several Heppner players were recognizedly playing out of their positions, which together with no practice made It look pretty bad. They are snapping out of It this week in practice and a different looking crew will journey to lone next Sunday to open the Wheatland league season. Drake is getting his arm in shape and will be received by his old running-mate, Clair La Mear. This alone will improve the situation at least 100 per cent, and with a reorganized infield there will be a world of difference. Fred Hoskins, who performed In the capacity last season, will most likely be found again on first base. Van Marter should retain his place at second, and Cason on third. Then there are four good bets in view for the short position, Matthews, Hls ler, Thome and Erwin. The out field performed nicely in the Pen dleton game and the same faces will more than likely be seen in the out er lot with the possible exception of Thorne, who, should he be used in the Infield, will be replaced by either Hisler, Matthews or Erwin. Anderson and Aiken are quite cer tain of their berths. Heppner will need to be reorgan ized in good shape if they succeed in taking the opener from lone, for that little city has had her crew working hard for the past two weeks and they are rounding into good form. We haven't all the dope, but Pitcher Ford, late of the Long view Rangers, will be on the mound for them, while the majority of po sitions will be filled by old faces.. A red-hot game is in store for fans who attend. Condon plays at Arlington, and Wasco at Umatilla, Sunday. Certified Seed Potatoes f r Arrive Here From Weston - C. W. Smith, county agent, went to Weston on Wednesday where he received a consignment of 75 sacks of certified seed potatoes. These are the Netted Gem variety and the shipment arrived at the office of Mr. Smith here today by truck. The potatoes will be distributed to those who have already left their orders for them with the County Agent and for the time being there will be none to spare out of this shipment to others who might wish them. Another shipment will be de livered a little later to the Irrigon potato growers, who were not ready to receive their consignment at this time. IS IT INSPIRED? The authority of the Bible must rest very largely on the answer to this question. If the Bible is not an Inspired book then it has not authority, and if it has no author ity it is merely advisory, and If It Is merely advisory we can take it or leave it and that will be that What do you think? "The Inspira tion of the Bible" will be the Sun day evening topic at the Church of Christ The question concerning predes tination will be answered also at the evening time and we will have a dandy song service. The morning sermon Is, "Dead to Sin." And do not forget that Sunday school contest It surely is getting warm. Put on that contest button and be out at 9:45. MILTON W. BOWER, Minister. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Sunday school at 9:45. Come and bring your children. Children are our greatest asset.
