Ifeppet mmztkt Volume 45, Number 8. HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, May 10, 1928 Subscription $2.00 a Year S FORK MEET Visiting Pupils Take 7 Firsts to Morrow County's 2. Umatilla county with seven firsts won the honors In the first Inter County Declamatory contest, be tween local contest winners of Mor row and Umatilla counties. Morrow county placed but two firsts. The contest was held In the local gym auditorium Saturday night befort a large audience. This does not mean that Umatilla had a walk-away. Competition was keen in all divisions, and from the applause given each contestant it would be hard to decide just which of them gained the most favor with the audience. One thing is certain, and that is declamation is taking large strides In both counties and the showing made by each was such as to cause the feeling of pride to raise in any patriotic citizen. From the Judges' standpoint, who were basing their markings on stage presence, voice and delivery, more technicalities were taken into consideration than would probably be taken into account by the ma jority of the audience. This gave Umatilla her edge. The majority of her contestants showed the re sult of a more intensified training, resulting from the many more con testa her representatives had taken part In, previous to the Inter-county meet The talent of the larger county as a whole did not greatly overshadow that produced here, and Morrow county can look forward to getting her share of the laurels in this contest In future years if declamation work continues to progress as it has the past three years. The contest was In three divis ions, lower grade, upper grade and high school, with six contestants In each division. In the first two di visions two contestants, one from each county, recited each of the following types of pieces, patriotic, dramatic and humorous, while In the high school division the same arrangement was made with the selections being oratorical, dramat ic and humorous. It is a hard matter to give special1 mention to any of the contestants as they were all mighty good. One of the outstanding contests, how ever, was among the small tots of the lower grades, in the humorous division. The talent showed by both contestants would compare favorably with that of any division, and while the Umatilla county girl took first, the offering of the Mor row county representative, to this writer, was one of the outstanding recitations of the evening. A coincidence of the contest was that both contestants in the humor ous division of the upper grades had chosen the same selection. "Who's Afraid," is the title. It Is a winning selection and was well given by both entrants. Judges for the contest were Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Anderson and Miss Whito of The Dalles. Following are the contestants with the places won: Lower Grade. PATRIOTIC Barbara Frltchle. Au drey Copeland, Pendleton, first; My Country. Winnie Brown, lone, second. DRAMATIC Ruga, Klvln Goodyear, Pendleton, first; The Doll's Funeral, Lena Neill. Pine City, second.

Hal Hoss Receives Backing from Press By ELBERT BEDE (Editor Cottage Grove Sentinel, and former President Oregon State Editorial association.) Under the Oregon system, wheth er or not we are fully In sympathy with It, the candidate without a long sack is at a great disadvan tage In a candidacy that Is state wide. The fact that the Hal Hoss candidacy for secretary of state "took" almost Immediately, In view of the fact that almost nothing has been spent in giving it publicity. Is one of the outstanding and some what surprising things in Oregon politics. The popularity of the Hoss can didacy Is due to the fact that Hal has something that is more potent than money he has something that money can not buy he has the friendship and the confidence of everyone with whom he ever has been associated. And Hal is fortunate in his friends. His association with the newspa per boys of the state has given him a host of friends in a better posi tion than any other class to give him publicity. They have done so voluntarily and without stint Even those papers that have not openly endorsed his candidacy have had a kind word to say at least, nothing in opposition. As manager of a large publishing plant, as secretary to the governor of the state, in his civic and social activities he has made other scores of friends outside of the fraternity. And they are boosting and telling their friends. The success of the Hoss candi dacy will mean that a man of abil ity, as Hoss is, does not have to have a sack of money to win a state election. He must have friends and lots of them and these must be friends that were made with no thought of their ever being of use to him in a political way. Hal has made his friends without any ulterior motive. Until now he has been giving more than he re ceived. If elected secretary of state, as I believe he will be, he will again give more than he will receive. EPISCOPAL CHURCH. REV. STANLEY MOORE, Missionary In Charge. Morning prayer and Mother's Day sermon at 11:00 o'clock. Sunday school at 9:45 o'clock. "Mother," let us bring our most lovely tributes to her this Sunday and may our memories of her be the sweetest that God may give. No matter what a man or woman has been, or 1b or may become, there Is one picture that they cannot efface: living or dying there will rise before them, like the morning sun, the beauty and goodness' of her who bore them under her heart and un selfishly gave of the best of her life for the girls or boys of her heart. The Woman's Foreign Mission ary society of the Methodist church will meet in the church parlors for their regular session, Tuesday, May IS, at 2:30 p. m., and please do not forget the May Thanks offering to be turned In at this meeting. We would be very glad to see all mem bers and friends present. Secre tary. Mrs. Mary Bartholomew has been ill all this week with an attack of intestinal flu.

FOR SALE 1927 14-ft. Case com bine. Has cut 600 acres. Good as new, See or write Harry or Sam Turner, Heppner, Ore. , tf. A Candidate This statement can indeed be made truthfully in regard to S-. E. Notson, for twenty-five years a resident of Morrow county, and identified with the best interests of this part of the second congress ional district during all that time. He has a long record of clean, conscientious nad efficient public ' service, is an able public speaker a man of per sonality and character,' having wide public ex perience, and an able, campaigner; and he is a candidate who can win in November. Having been out on the campaign for a few days this week with Candidate Notson, we are thoroughly convinced that he is making splendid headway and is gaining in popularity at all points he has been able to reach on his itinerary. We were impressed with the manner of cam paign Mr. Notson is making. It is clean, straight forward and outstanding, and does not fail to im press the voters. He is appealing to them to per form their patriotic duty and get to the polls and vote- He fully realizes that good men are in the field against him, that at this particular time these men with himself are on trial, and tie invites the fullest investigation of his record, it being an open book, with nothing to be covered up. On May 18 the electors of the district will be on trial, and it is their duty to get to the polls, and when they get in the voting booth, to write in the name of the man best fitted for the place; he sincerely hopes this may be himself, but if not he will have no complaint to make, and will have his coat off in the fall cam paign and working for the election of the success ful nominee. Health Clinic Saturday For All Grade Children The health clinic announced for children of pre-school age, to be conducted by the State Board of Health and sponsored by the Patron-Teacher association at the Heppner school building, starting at 10 o'clock in the forenoon and lasting all day Saturday, has been extended to include all grade chil dren whose parents desire to take advantage of the service.

This Is an exceptional oppor tunity for parents who have defec tive children to receive the counsel of reputable physicians, and they should not fall to take advantage of it Remember, It Is next Satur day, May 12, beginning at 10 a. m. J. R. Bennett Passes; Long Resident Here Following a prolonged illness of three or four years, J. R. Bennett took a turn for the worse a month ago and died at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. He had suffered continu ously for some time and his death was not unexpected, those caring for him knowing that he could not survive. Funeral services have been announced for 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon from the Methodist church, Rev. F. R. Spaulding of ficiating, interment to be In Hepp ner cemetery. J. R.

In 1873 he was mar ried to Ellen Brown and the same year moved to Morrow county where he has since resided, and where his family was reared. The first home of Mr. and Mrs. Bennett in Morrow county was at Vincent on Butter creek.

"Mothers of the Bible" will be the topic of the morning sermon at the Church of Christ There will be special Mother's Day music. Every one should make it a special point to honor mother by attendance at worship and by wearing a flower in her honor. The evening sermon will be, "The Unsaved Man of Heppner." Following are hours of service: Bible school, 9:45; morning wor ship, 10:50; Christian Endeavor, 7; evening service, 8.

Mr. Cox will no doubt make a shlpnv-mt of rams to Morrow county from his California home, having engaged a car load. In the article on another page by J. P.

For the second time within the present school year . the Heppner high school athletic, teams have romped off with the championship of the Upper Columbia Athletic league. Last fall it was in football now It is baseball. The local team also won the 1927 baseball cham pionship. The Heppner boys showed their mettle by going through the entire season without losing a single game thus ending the season with a 1000 per cent record. , Much credit is due the boys of the entire squad. Although the weather was not good baseball weather, long and Intensive hours of practice were put in, which brought the coveted championship pennant to Heppner high school. This year, twelve members of the (quad have played In the season's nine and of these 8 have played enough to win their letters. The lettermen are as follows: Gerald Slocum, captain, lb; Robert Turner, 2b; Henry Robertson, p; Howard Evans, c; Harold Gentry, ss; Nolan Turner, 3b; Jim Monahan, If; Elmer Hake, rf. Others who have played are Marvin Gammell, p; "Red" Bramer, 2b, and Onez Par ker, f. Among this group, baseball mon ograms (three letters in baseball) were earned by Slocum, Turner and Evans. Captain Slocum and Bob Turner are the only letter men of this year who will be lost by grad uation. This, of course, leaves a good squad for next year and with other material coming on Heppner high school should make a splen did showing in the league again next year. Summary.

CRAWFORD, K.R.S, LOCAL HI SGH WIIUS CHAMPIONSHIP Reports coming in constantly from over the dis trict to the Notson-for-Congress club at Heppner are encouraging in the extreme. His friends are overlooking any move that will at the polls. As the campaign becoming more and more apparent contender in this race that acknow candidates fear, as he gains strength be a winner in the fall and it is of this paper that he is the strongest and safest candidate in the field. He can win against Walter Pierce, who is conceded the demo cratic nomination; we have it straight that he is feared more by Mr. Pierce than are any of the other contenders, and this fear of the ex-governor is well founded. Notson will be found to be a red hot campaigner in the fall election, and more than this, as a winner he will go to Washington as one of the best men the second district has ever had. As ex pressed in last issue of this paper, we believe that he will indeed be a very worthy successor to N. J. Sinnott, who for the past fifteen years has so ably represented Oregon and the second district at Washington. Mr. Notson is congressional timber, possessing all the necessary qualifications, gained through his wide public experience of the last quarter of a century. Republicans of Morrow county should and will give him practically a unanimous endorsement by going to the polls on May 18 and writing in his name and placing the X before it. W. 0. Staver Is Write-In Candidate for Legislature W. O. Staver, the republican can didate for joint representative of Morrow and Umatilla counties, 22nd representative district of Oregon, whose name should be written In and marked thus, X W. O. Staver, was born on a farm in Wayne county, Ohio. He moved with his parents to Kansas early in life. He was educated In the public schools of Ohio and Kansas, and Is grad uate of the Kansas State Agricul- tural college. After his admission to the bar, Mr. Staver immediately enlisted In the third regiment Missouri Volun teer infantry and served through out the Spanish American war, af ter which he entered the govern ment service, receiving his appoint ment for Texas, where he served five years as immigrant Inspector In charge, Port of Laredo, Texas, and assistant U. S. attorney for the southern district of Texas during the Taft administration. Coming to Oregon in 1915, he has been a citizen and taxpayer of Uma tilla county ever since. If elected Mr. Staver will work for the mutual development of the industries of Morrow and Umatilla counties, and of the state of Oregon in general; the highways of the state; the alli ed interests of the farmer, the stockman and the fruit grower in relation to irrigation, dry land farming and grazing. The ' tax problem is also vital to the devel opment of Oregon's resources, and should be adjusted so that the bur den will not fall exclusively on the land, and machinery and livestock required to cultivate it STOCKMEN'S MEET A SUCCESS. The meeting of the Cattle and Horse Raisers' association at John Day on Monday was a pronounced success. Some 150 stockmen were in attendance, and during the after noon and evening their membership roll had 50 more names added. In the evening there was a big ban quet at McHaley hall, given by the John Day Chamber of Commerce and more than 300 guests were served. The object of these meetings, this being the first of a series, is to strengthen the state organization by the addition of more members and the creating of interest in the forth coming meeting of the state association at Enterprise on July 2 and 3. Five such meetings as that at John Day will be held tills month and five more next month, closing in time to get to Enterprise, and it is hoped this will be the means of securing a very large gathering at the Wallowa countv seat ST. PATRICK'S CHURCH. The mass next Sunday, May 13, in the Heppner church will be at 11 o'clok. There will be a previous mass in lone, at the home of Mr. Paul O'Meara, at 8:30 to give all an opportunity to make their Easter duty. Confessions will be heard be fore these masses. The pastor will preach at both masses. The usual Catechism class in lone at Mrs. Edw. A. Lindeken's home on Saturday, May 12, at 2:30 p. m., will not take place. , On Thursday, May 18, will be cel ebrated the Ascension of Christ, and is usually known as Ascension Thursday. This day is a holy day of obligation, and there will be two masses on that day in Heppner, so as to give all a chance to assist and proceed to' work and to school. These early masses will be at 7:00 and 8:30 with confessions before each mass. C. A.

Louncil Lonsiders iaaio and Parking Ordinances Radio Interference in Heppner may be controlled, and a time limit set on parking on Main street The opinion of the council at Its May meeting Monday night was that these things should be done. Just now they are deciding just what are the best steps to take. Radio ordinances from Condon and Pen dleton were read at the meeting and considered. A grievance committee of citizens living on Center street was present to ask the city dads for better water service on their street They com plained that they were on a dead end of a main that had become well filled with silt and thatlt kept them busy flushing their house pipes to get any water at all. Their griev ance was placed In the hands of the water committee. It was also recommended that the peddlers' license be increased to an amount to afford some real revenue from this source and the city attor ney was instructed to draw up a new ordinance with this in view. Another action taken was to in struct the street committee to get in communication with the state highway department with a view to fencing the highway at the school house bend, which the council con siders is a menace to the safety of school children as it now stands.

Fans at Rodeo field Sunday got all the thrills they could ask for when Heppner handed Umatilla, Wheatland league leaders, their first defeat of the season, 8-4. The locals started scoring the first time up, making their runs two at a time In the first, second, third and egihth Innings. It was a hitting game, as shown by the 11 safe bingles gleaned by Umatilla and Heppner's nine, and the low number of strikeouts, Berry for Umatilla making but four, while Drake struck out six, showing that while Umatilla had the edge on hits Drake was better in the pinches than his opponent and prevented scoring. This, of course, combined with Heppner's fielders' perform ance which was perfect with the exception of one lone error. The error was Van Marter's at second base who in his anxiety to make a double out of shortstop Hisler's neat toss, was a little too sure and allowed the ball to get past him. Van and all the rest of the gang made up for this little boner sev eral times over, however, and gave the visitors more grief than a lit tle. Aiken and Anderson in the out er pasture were fed up on put outs enough to last them the week out easily, each of them getting three nice skyscrapers. Aiken made the prettiest catch of the day when he ran close to fifty yards to pick a high one just over the.jnfleld. He made the catch at arm's length while runlng full speed, just barely being able to reach it The two kids, Hisler at short and Erwin on first played like veterans, doing their stuff nicely both at bat and in the field. But then they all played good, so why mention it all. Oh, yes, we just can't overlook old man LaMear behind the bat, who cli maxed the game by catching Mlt- tlesdorf napping off first for the final out When he did It however, he ruin ed a perfectly lovely exhibition for the spectators, as Mr. Clown Blake- ly, who had been razzing Drake about his home run, was just facing this worthy and the spectators were anxious to see who would get the best of the argument Yes, Mr. Drake got a home run, a good clean one, out amongst the cow barns over the center pasture fence. But It wasn't needed, as it came In the eighth after Heppner already had all the lead necessary. It made him feel good, though,,and all the rest of the home folks, too. LaMear was camping on first when the episode occurred, so of course it accounted for two markers. Teammate LaMear outhit Ducky by a base at that, as he got a triple, double and single in four trips up, while the latter got but a single added to the homer.1 Umatilla's rally came In the fifth vith the score already six against them, and for a time the stnnds were fairly uneasy for fear the lead wasn't big enough. In this inning seven batsmen faced Mr. Drake, getting four hits which combined with Van Marter's error netted three runs. That's all there was for them till the ninth when Drake forgot himself and let P. Hansen have a fat one which he rode for two bases. That made Ducky a trifle warm and he whiffed Berry and Woodard, when Mittlesdorf sneaked in his third hit of the game and scored Hansen. Then LaMear nabbed Mittlesdorf at first and the game was over. Condon handed lone her second defeat in a row on the Condon grounds Sunday. 5-4, putting Con don among the 500 percenters and dumping lone into the cellar, while Wasco retaliated her defeat by Ar lington the Sunday previous, and walloped them 12-9 on the home grounds, evening up these two in percentage along with Heppner and Condon, all 500. Umatilla still leads with 750. The box score: Heppner Thorn, r Anderson, m .. Van Marter, 2 AB R H O A E 5 5 Aiken. 1 . 3 LaMear, c . 4 Drake, Erwln. Hisler.
