TULIP TIME" REM
E
Operetta Pronounced One
of Best, By Miss Erie,
Musical Director.
Under the capable direction of
Miss Kate Francis Ede, supervisor
of music in the Heppner publio
schools, much progress has been
made in polishing up "Tulip Time,"
the annual operetta of Heppner
high school, to be presented next
Wednesday at the school auditor
ium. Miss Ede, who has had consider
able experience In handling produc
tions of this kind, pronounces it to
be one of the most colorful and har
monious operettas she has yet han
dled. As In all operettas, "mass produc
tion" Is one of the distinguishing
features, and the songs and folk
dances of the Dutch chorus are one
of the most Important features con
tributing to the harmony and gen
erul glee.
To see Hans, In the person of El
lis Thomson, Instructing the group
In the Intricacies of a clog dance Is
well worth the price of admission.
Naturally enough, the Dutch chorus
forms an important background to
much of the action of the play. The
chorus is composed of Homer Ha
ger, Earl Thomson, Kenneth Oviatt,
Louis LeTrace, Duane Brown, Ho
mer Hayes, Fletcher Walker, Gay
Anderson, Louise Langdon, Dorothy
Herren, Edna Vaughn, Hazel Mc
Dald, Mary Beamer, Lucille Bey
mer, Virginia Cleveland, Virginia
Dix, Velton Owen, Ella Fell, Mary
Thomson, Alva McDuffee, Ruth
Turner, Florence French, Claude
Conder and Earle Bryant
Then the group of American bot
any students comprises another im
portant group contributing much to
the color and harmony of the scenes.
The students are John Conder, Ger
ald Slocum and Robert Turner.
And last, but a long way from the
least, a touch of sailor life is given
by the hornpipes of the sailor chor
us composed of Duane Brown,
Claude Conder, Louis LeTrace, Ken
neth .Oviatt and Earle Bryant.
Reserved seats for the produc
tion go on sale tomorrow at Hum
phreys Drug store. Their price Is
75c, while general admissions will
bo SOc. A matinee for the school
children will be held at 2:30 in the
afternoon. At this time it is hoped
that almost all the children will see
the production, so that the "old
folks" can enjoy the show In the
evening, begjnnnig at 8 o'clock.
CLUB MEETINGS SUCCESSFUL.
Through an oversight this paper
failed to report the club meetings
held at Boardman on April 6 and
at lone, April 7. These meetings,
called for the purpose of more thor
oughly acquainting parents of club
members of club work, were quite
largely attended, some 100 people
attending the Boardman meeting
and 150 tho lone meeting. At Board
man the Irrlgon Club band was the
entertainment feature, while at
lone the Lexington Dairy Herd Rec
ord club conducted a milk testing
demonstration one of the main pur
poses of which was to bring out the
importance of stripping the cow in
milking. In the test conducted
there was a difference In test be
tween 3 per cent butterfat for the
first flow of milk and 10 per cent
for the strippings. Mr. Smith, coun
ty agent, says this is not to be tak
en as an exact average for all cows
as the milk tested was taken from
a "stripper." The Ice cream feed
furnished at the lone meeting by
the Morrow County Creamery com
pany was thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone. L. J. Allen, assistant state
dub loader, explained the work and
purposes of the boys' and girls' club
movement at both meetings. Plans
are under way to send the Irrlgon
Club band to the state fair in the
fall, and a letter received by Mr.
Smith this week from Mr. Allen
states that there is little doubt but
that their entertainment will be
provided by the fair management.
The Lexington Dairy Herd Rec
ord club has been invited by the
Heppner Luncheon club to conduct
a demonstration similar to that put
on at lone, and they will give this
demonstration Monday at 1 o clock,

guest and principal speaker, out
lined the policies and aims of the
national organlztlon as given at
that meeting. He also stressed the

rifles and equipment for this pur
pose. The reports of tho various com

the local post was highly compli
mented by Mr. Biggs for the Inter

reported that the post now has 62
members, this being eight more
than In any former year, and it is
expected the number will be in

the team whom they wished to pay
for.

E
DAYS ARE CHOSEN
Reserved Seats Given Sup
porters at Coming
Chautauqua.
Friday, June 1, will be Pioneers'
Day and Saturday, June 2, will be
Grange Day, at the coming Mor
row County Chautauaua in Hepp
ner, May 31, June 1-2-3, according
to action taken by the directors at
a meeting Tuesday evening. On
these days the respective groups
will be featured with appropriate
programs.
Plans for the pioneer reunion are
now being shaped up by the com
mittee, S. E. Notson, Heppner; Karl
L. Beach, Lexington, and Bert Ma
son, lone. The directors have left
for them to decide the time of resi
dence necessary for one to qualify
as a pioneer. It is now quite cer
tain that a big picnic lunch, a par
ade, and a get-together meeting will
be features of this day. The Grange
are now making plans for the pro
gram on their day.
Each subscriber to the Chautau
qua this year will be allowed two re-
served seats, as a small recompense
for helping make the Chautauqua a
success. Only two reserved seats
will be allowed each, no matter
what amount has been contributed.
This action was also taken by the
directors Tuesday, it being their
idea that some special recognition
should be given those who make the
Chautauqua possible, and not with
the idea of any personal favoritism.
Names of persons from all parts
of the county now appear on the
subscription list.
Though enough money has been
subscribed to pay for the Chautau
qua feature of the entertainment
the directors would like to see more
contributions so that it will not be
necessary to stint in any measure
in putting on the other features.
The pioneer feature, especially, they
hope can be put across in good
style, and if there are any who are
inclined to support this feature ex
clusively, they would be pleased to
accept contributions with this un
derstanding.
Though the talent has not been
made known for the Chautauqua,
the Ellison-White people declare it
will be the most brilliant array ever
to come to the city. There will be
seven programs in all, starting
Tuesday, May 31, one program to
be held that day in the evening,
then there will be afternoon and
evening programs each of the re
maining days.
The directors wish it thoroughly
understood that the Chautauqua is
being paid for outright from the
contributions now being given and
that no admission charge will be
made. From this standpoint only is
is the Chautauqua free.
Remember the dates May 31, June
1, 2, 3, and plan to spend as much
of the time as possible in Heppner.
There will be plenty of entertain
ment afforded for everyone.

On Thursday of last week, Arnold
Pioper of Lexington sold a portion
of his 1927 wheat to Balfour, Guth

a pretty good price, and would be
glad if he could look forward to
such a figure, or somewhere there
abouts for the 1928 crop. At the

good yield this season are good,
though frosty nights have been
.somewhat of a hindrance during
the early weeks of April.

Lambing Is Successful
Though Weather Bad
Lambing proved successful at the
Skinner creek ranch of O'Conner
Bros., regardless of the extremely
bad weather conditions prevailing
auring tne greater part of the sea
son, is the report of Jerm O'Conner,
who was attending to business here
yesterday. Tho O'Conner brothers
are just finishing the season with
3300 head of ewes, and they have
made a splendid average. The sheej
had to be kept on the open range
as they were short of hay, and the
blustery weather made the job a
hard one.
According to Jerm, Mother Na
ture was determined to help the
boys out this year. There were
seven pairs of triplets, one ewe
gave birth to four lambs and an
other produced a bunch of five.
These five are all living and doine
fine, but the b'.nch of four poru-heo
before they could receive proper
care. Twins were too common to
receive special notice.

Heppner dropped the opening
game of the Wheatland Baseball
league Sunday 2-1 to lone, In a fine
exhibition of ball for an early sea
son game. The hitting of Drake
and Lundell, both of whom knocked
triples for lone, coupled with Pitch
er Ford's fast offerings a bit too
hot for close connection with the
Heppner bats that still moved a lit
tle slowly from lack of exercise
gave the down creek boys their
edge.
Ione's first score came in the sec
ond inning, when Drake scored on
Rankin's hit after making his three-
bag clout. Heppner's lone score
came in the seventh when Pitcher
Drake duplicated the feat of his
lone namesake, making third on his
long fly over Rightflelder Rankin's
bead and scored on LaMear's hit
Thus the score stood at 1-all when
the ninth rolled around. Then
Heppner fans became elated with
the prospects of sewing up the game
when Anderson made first on Riet-
mann's wild throw, took third on
Drake's second hit of the game, and
Drake himself stole second. With
these two on bases, none out and
LaMear up, prospects were indeed
bright The calamity happened in
less time than it takes to tell. La
Mear high-Hied to Cason in center
who caught Anderson at home when
he attempted to go in after the
catch. Drake went third but his
chance of scoring was spoiled when
Pitcher Ford picked up VanMar-
ter s roller and tossed him out at
first
Then the tide turned. Drake
walked his adversary Ford. Name
sake Drake filed out to Thome in
right Hero Lundell next approach
ed the plate, looked the first deliv
ery over casually, didn't like it but
when the next one came floating
up he reached for it and sent it on a
long drive between left and center.
Mr. Ford scored, and the story is
told.
That the other two league games
were equally thrilling is evidenced
by the scores. Arlington at home,
trimmed Condon 2-0, and Umatilla
at home, defeated Wasco 1-0. Man
ager Wick Parrish did the hero act
for his nine, knocking a homer in
tho sixth with Sylvester on first
Umatilla's lone score was made on
an overthrow of third base. Bat
teries In the Condon-Arlington game
were, for Condon: Rannow. pitcher,
Patterson, catcher; Arlington, Mon
tague, pitcher, Douglas, catcher.
Myers, who pitched for Pendleton
here a week ago, delivered for Was
co, with Wilson catching.
Next Sunday Arlington plays here,
lone goes to Wasco, and Umatilla
journeys to Condon.

CONTEST PLANS FROGRESS.
Plans are rapidly going ahead for
the Third Annual Morrow County
Declamatory contest Tryouts have
now been held in all the schools of
the county, and the array of talent
discovered promises a contest of
unusual quality. A bigger repre
sentation is expected from the out
lying schools and some surprises
will doubtless be sprung when the
prizes are awarded. Since the con
test will be held in the public school
auditorium, no difficulty Is antici
pated in finding seating room for
everyone. An admission of SOc will
be charged to defray the expenses
of judges, medals and so forth.
