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.

city delivering the sermon, and bur

under the auspices of Heppner Post
American Legion, of which the de
ceased was a member.
The funeral services were very
largely attended by the people of
the Hardman community, and a
large number went out from Hepp

the Legion and Auxiliary. The lad

Elmer McDaniel was born at

Feb. 24, 1918 to Dec. 24, 1918. He
was wounded in the service, and
was also gassed, and this undoubt
edly added to his physical ailments
and hastened his death. In France
he participated In the engagements

CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
. WARNS- AGAINST SCHOOLS
Washington, D. C, March 31.
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."

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.

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

did occur. Mr. Ball's letter enclos
ing clipping was dated April 7.

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."

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

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. They need train
ing for life and the Sunday school
is one of the chief agents In prepar
ing them for the battle of life.
Morning prayer and sermon at
11:00 o'clock. Our Easter Is over,
but Christ Is still the risen Christ
Each day He should arise in us
with greater power, until we become
like Him. Let us not forget to wor
ship and praise Him each Lord's
day.
Young Peoples' Fellowship, 6:30.
Evening prayer and talk at 7:30.
