MUTfllTfOn WORKER
WILL GIVE COURSE
Child Diet Talks and Dem
onstrations Sponsored
by Heppner Schools,
Every woman and mother In
Heppner and vicinity are invited
and urged to attend a aeries of nu
trition conferences to be conducted
in Heppner by Miss Lucy Case, nu
trition specialist from Oregon State
college. The first of the confer
ences will be held November 8 In
the Heppner school building. The
Invitation is sent out jointly by Jas.
M. Burgess, superintendent of
schools, and Chas. W. Smith, coun
ty agent, who are cooperating in
sponsoring the course.
Miss Case's lectures will deal es
pecially with foods and diets for
children, stressing the need of a hot
dish for the school lunch. This
course was held last year both at
Rhea creek and Boardman, and was
most successful. Ladles who attend
ed gained a great deal of worth
while information, and as a result
of the demonstration work a hot
dish for the school lunchat these
places was arranged for.
Mr. Burgess is greatly Interested
In improving the school lunch sit
uatlon in the Heppner schools. Ap
proximately 50 pupils now take their
lunches to school, and with the ad
vent of inclement weather this num
ber will be considerably increased.
At least before cold weather arrives,
Mr. Burgess feels that some action
should be taken to provide a hot
dish each day for these lunches.
The system tried in the local school
before, in which the child was
charged for the hot dish, he feels
was unsatisfactory, owing to the
fact that many children did not buy
the dish though the price was only
a cent and a half for each dish.
To prove satisfactory either the
school or some organization, such
as the P. T. A. or similar civic en
terprise, should furnish the hot dish
free of charge. Following the Rhea
creek course Miss Case apponited a
commitete of Heppner ladies con
sisting of Miss Lulu Hager, Mrs. F.
R. Brown and Mrs. C. W. Smith, to
lnveotigate what might be done in
the matter locally. These ladies
have been making a review of the
situation and may have some defin
ite plans to offer. In any case, Mr.
Burgess asserts, the facilities of the
school are open to any organization
that might care to undertake the
work.
The three demonstrations will
probably come about a month apart,
the time for each succeeding meet
ing being set at the preceding one.
Circular letters carrying the invi
tation have been mailed to every
woman whose name was available
to Mr. Burgess and Mr. Smith.
Council Meeting Monday
for Water and Bridges
A mid-month meeting of the city
council has been called for next
Monday evening by Mayor E. O.
Noble. It Is expected that Import
ant business will be transacted re
lating to the water and bridge prob
lems with which the city is faced.
The services of an hydraulic en
gineer may be employed, and es
timates on bridge construction dis
cussed. W. E. Pruyn, city watermastor,
reports that he has been In com
munication with several engineers,
two of whom have visited the city
to make a preliminary survey.
ATTEND LA GRANDE MEET.
Attorneys C. L. Sweek and S. E.
Notson, accompanied by Editor
Crawford of this paper departed on
Sunday afternoon in the Sweek car
for La Grande, to be present at the
gathering of republicans in that city
on Monday forenoon. At Pendle
ton they were joined by Sheriff
McDuffee. The republican congres
sional committee for the second dis
trict was called to meet at La
Grande on Monday to nominate
candidate for the place made va
cant by the retirement of Hon. N.
J. Sinnott, who had early in the
spring been appointed to a federal
judgeship by President Coolidge.
Judge R. R. Butler of The Dalles
received the unanimous nomination
for this "short term" at the hands
of the committee and his name will
appear on the ballot for this place
as well as the regular full term for
which ho received the nomination
at the May primaries. The political
meeting was also attended by many
party men from over the district
not members of the congressional
committee. A banquet at the new
Sacajawea hotel was a feature of
the evening and this was attended
by more than 200 republicans of
Union, Wallowa and Baker counties,
and a great deal of enthusiasm was
manifest, the party nominees of
both district and national tickets
apparently making a very strong
appeal to all present This gather
ing was addressed by Senator Stel-
wer and Judge Butler as chief
speakers, and Chairman Mctschan
of the tate central committee added
words of encouragement concern
ing the progress of the campaign in
the state. Being the home county
of Walter M. Pierce, Mr. Butler's
opponent, It was felt that this meet
ing was well timed and will do a
lot of good for the cause of the
Wasco county man, who wag very
greatly encouraged by the warm re
ception given him.

Morrow and Umatilla
To Have Joint Institute
Morrow and Umatilla counties
will have a joint teachers Institute
this year at Pendleton, October 4
and S. All teachers from Heppner
are planning to attend. Jas. M. Bur
gess, superintendent of Heppner
schools will appear twice on the
program with lectures dealing on
"High School Methods of Instruc
tion." In combining with Umatilla coun
ty local school officials feel that a
much greater opportunity for in
struction Is obtained. By combin
ing institute resources more effi
cient Instructors can be command
ed, besides the larger number of
teachers attending brings out a wid
er range of views on various prob
lems. Spotted Fever Tick
The Super-Parasite
(From State Board of Health)
There is now a hope that the tick
population may be so reduced as
to make Rocky Mountain Spotted
Fever a rare and uncommon disease
in Eastern Oregon according to Dr.
W. J. Butler, the state veterinarian
of Montana. In the struggle for ex
istence the primitive man had to
contend with wild animals and rep
tiles of the forest and jungles. In
the beginning, his fight was against
predatory animals and reptiles. To
day his fight for existence is against
insect life and the various para
sites. Let us not be deceived. It is
a fight to a finish. Insects and par
asites will conquer man or man will
conquer them.
Parasites must have hosts in
which to live and propagate. Na
ture has failed to provide many of
our insidious parasites with any
perceptible means of locomotion.
To overcome this disadvantage,
some of these parasites first para
sitize some insect, or tick, or mite,
which has means of locomotion,
and by means of this vehicle, they
are carried from place to place and
gain entrance into the human or
animal body. Thus we have "para
sites within parasites," super-parasites,
as it were, carrying lesser par
asites destructive to animal life.
The fight on parasites is univer
sal. No one country is free from
parasites. Some are of lesser im
portance, others are of greater im
portance; some are agricultural
pests, others are human and animal
pests. Naturally, those parasites
which are the most insidious -and
hardest to control have an Intricate
and complex life cycle. In such
cases, control by medicinal or me
chanical agencies is very difficult
and Ineffective. New methods con
tinually have to be devised. Today
the most advanced method of fight
ing and controlling many of our
parasites is with parasites.
The "Dermacentor Andersoni, a
tick, is known to be a carrier of the
causative agents of spotted fever,
tick paralysis and tularaemia. It
has been found that the parasite,
Ixodiphragus caucertel, will detroy
this tick. Ticks for the rearing of
the parasite are gathered in dis
tricts which are free from spotted
fever, tularaemia, or tick paralysis
infection. Nymphs from these ticks
are used for the breeding of para
sites. Parasitized nymphs are placed in
glass vials, open on both ends. Over
the open ends wire gauze is at
tached. The mesh in the wire gauze
is large enough to permit the es
cape of the parasites when they
emerge from the nymphs. The wire
gauze is simply an added precaution
to prevent the loss of the nymphs,
or their escape, should one happen
not to be parasitized and remain
alive. The glass vials containing
the parasitized nymphs are taken
out into the country and placed at
the mouth of rabbit holes, mice
and rat runs, and in and around the
nests of other rodents that harbor
the nymphal stage of the D. Ander
soni. Nymphs are not found on the
common domestic animals. In some
cases, and especially in the pack
or mountain rat country, cotton
and bright articles are attached to
the glass vials so as to attract the
pack of rats and have them carry
the vials to their nests,

TI LID LIFTED
Old Jupe Makes Friends
Among Sportsmen afid
the Farmer Smiles.
Whether Jupiter Pluvius took in
tentional pity on Impatient sports
men, prancing around In red hats
with guns primed since Monday be
cause of the governor's edict "no
hunting unless it rains," or whether
in rushing over our section he stub
bed his toe and upset his sprinkler,
no one seems to care. It rained
bucketfuls and that's enuf!
Old Jupe's action relieved the ten
sion on Governor Patterson's heart
strings, held rigidly taut by concern
for the forests' safety, and forth
with the governor told the hunters
to go ahead. Jupe's carelessness, or
thoughtfulness, occurred Tuesday
night and Wednesday- morning and
again Wednesday night, and word
of the governor's resultant action
was received at an early hour yes
terday. Now we are momentarily
expecting the arrival of hunters
who have been hiding out with their
bag limit since early Monday morn
ing awaiting the rain god's gra
clousness that they might safely
bring in their kill.
Hunters were not held long In
suspense, though the two days
seemed ages to many who had start
ed out before the ban was set in or
der to take advantage of the game's
unwariness, If it had not yet been
advised that the season was on. To
some who had planned their hunt
later, only amusement at their more
anxious brother's predicament is
evidenced.
Whatever of difference that may
have arisen between sportsmen and
protectors of the forests is now dis
pelled. Everyone Is smiling. The
forests are safe. Hunters may go
ahead, and even the foresters may
join in the hunt, blissfully forgetful
of jumpy nerves egged on by each
new wisp of smoke. Hunters and
foresters were not alone affected.
Farmers, too, are carrying the glad
expression, more deeply imprinted
even than that envisaged on sports
man and forester. Seeding may
now be rushed, and there is fair
assurance of getting the weed crop
out of the way this fall ensuring a
more abundant supply of moisture
for the new grain crcp'
But it is said there is never great
rejoicing without some sorrow.
While Jupe was benefitting the
hunter, forester, farmer and towns
people, too, he became a little play
ful and put out of commission the
high power line serving Heppner
and other towns in the vicinity with
electricity. This put the city in the
dark from 8:30 Tuesday night until
10 o'ctock yesterday morning, and
put the citizenry to no little incon
venience. But then, what of it;
didn't it rain? The first rain, that
could be called a rain, In two
months.

injured, being unconscious for five . . . ., . .
The Bucknums were on their way
to Mt Angel where Gordon was to
have entered school with the be
ginning of the fall term at Mt An
gel college. The accident however,
necessitated their return to Hepp
ner, and they were brought home
yesterday evening by B. G. Sigsbee
in his car. Edmund Bucknum is
bringing the wrecked car up today.
A Star sedan with a California li
cense, the owner of which assumed
all the blame, was the cause of the
accident. This car attempted to
pass another car coming toward the
Bucknum car, forcing the latter to
the edge of the grade on a turn.
There was not sufficient room to
pass and the Star car hit the Buck
num Dodge sedan near the rear
wheel, knocking it over a bank and
into a telephone pole.. Hitting the
pole top foremost, the top of the
car was completely demolished, and
Mr. Sigsbee who viewed the wreck,
savs It is a mystery how anyone
could have got out of the car alive.
The Injured members of the family
were taken to a nospital In Hood
River for treatment until yester
day when they were brought home
by Mr. Sigsbee. notn Mrs. Buck
num and Gordon are reported to be
recovering nicely.
The report of the accident given
in yesterday's Oregonian is said to
be erroneous, as the highway was
not wet where the accident oc
curred and there was no evidence
of skidding.

The Church Army
Coming to Heppner
By REV. B. STANLEY MOORE.
The Church Army is an organiza
tion consisting wholly of laymen
who work within the Church of
England under the direction of the
bishops and clergy. The objects
of the society are two In number:
first and most important to win
souls for Christ. This is attempted
by providing the parochial clergy
with trained working-men, Church
Army evangelists, colporteurs, and
with mission sisters, and other lay
agents who assist them in develop
ing gospel preaching powers of the
laity. These agents preach the need
of real conversion, of holiness of
heart and Ufa and of loyal, intelli
gent churchmanship. They conduct
their work free from party spirit
solely on Christian principles. The
other object of the society is to es
tablish, take over, conduct and car
ry on labour homes, night shelters
and other refuges for the poor, and
generally to promote the welfare of
the poor and the relief of distress
by combined social and spiritual
agencies.
The Church Army was started in
England 46 years ago by Wilson
Carlile, a young curate of the
church. Like many similar socie
ties which have come to fruition it
had a mall beginning but its use
fulness to the work of the church
was very soon apparent and it had
a rapid growth until today there
are over one thousand trained lay
preachers and mission-sisters work
ing in over sixty departments of
work. Church and state alike have
acknowledged the usefulness of the
work to the whole community in
conferring fitting honor upon Its
founder. In 1905 Wilson Carlile was
made a Prebendary of St Paul's
cathedral 'and two years ago His
Majesty King George the 5th con
ferred upon him the singular and
high distinction of a companion of
honor, of which there are only 30
members.
In England in a single year these
lay preachers and sisters visit 1,
500,000 homes of the people and pay
100,000 visits to prisoners in their
cells. Sixty-one mission and col
portage vans are always at work in
villages and country towns, while
there is a tremendous social work,
similar to that of the Salvation Ar
my, being carried on at all times.
In 1925 the bishops of the Epis
copal church in America requested
that a group of Church Army lay
preachers be sent to America in or
der that their methods might be
tested to see if there was scope for
a similar society within the Ameri
can church. That year's crusade
was so successful in the fulfillment
of it aims that during the following
year the request was repeated and
a larger group returned for the sum
mer crusade. Returning to Eng
land in September, 1926, they were
asked to return in January, 1927, to
help in the Bishop's Crusade in the
New England states. These men
were supplemented by yet more dur
ing the summer of last year, bring
ing the contingent up to thirty. Two
groups of crusaders, two motor mis
sion vans and work in boys camps
and summer schools were the ac
tivities launched upon. Twenty of
these men returned to England last
fall and the remaining ten have,
since then, been engaged continu
ouly in mission work.
In December of last year Church
Army In United States (the Church
Army for the American Episcopal
church) was started with its own
president, treasurer, and advisory
board of five bishops of the Ameri
can church. The Bishop McVickor
House in Providence, R. I., has been
loaned and is being utilized as a
training center for American youth.
The first class of students complet
ed their course early in May.
This summer Motor Mission vans
have been at work in the diocese
of New York, Vermont, New Jersey,
Albany and Connecticut The group
of men, four in all, who are coming
to Heppner have been undertak
ing an extensive crusade through
the southern states from Florida
through Georgia, Tennessee, Ken
tucky and Ohio, on to Indiana, and
thence out here to Oregon.
This group will be in Heppner and
vicinity twelve days beginning Sep
tember 30th to October 11th. Dur
ing their stay they will be located
in the parish house of All Saints
Episcopal church. While here the
crusaders will conduct services,
both outdoor and indoor, to which
the whole community is invited.
Their coming is a direct call and
challenge to all that the Jesus of
history, whom they serve, may be
come to all a Jesus of personal ex
perience.

been made in the naming of Miss
Inez Hayes, a native Morrow coun
ty girl, accustomed to the saddle
through a life spent on a cattle and
wheat ranch on Rhea creek. Miss
Hayes is not only charming in her
cowgirl outfit but fully capable of
handling her part as queen of the
Rodeo by being an experienced rid
er. She made known her accept
ance of the position this week.
The Rodeo directors did not find
it necessary to try out any new
broncs this year, as the old string
completely intact, has proven plen
ty tough in the past and the public
is assured that they will be ready
to go as good as ever. Texas long
horns will again be used for the
bulldogging, a feature added last
year that proved popular with the
fans. It is not expected that many
performers will be on hand until
after the Pendleton Round-Up next
week.
The carnival features of the Ro
deo will be supplied this year by
Hildebrand's United Shows, a large
organization that will bring to
Heppner numerous side shows and
concessions besides several rides
for the children, a merry-go-round
of course being included. Music
will again be furnished by Fletch
er's Round-Up band of Pendleton,
both during the last two days, and
at dances each evening. This fam
ily of musical Fletchers needs no
introduction here as they have prov
ed most popular on many occasions
in Heppner in the past
Every arrangement is being made
for taking care of the large crowd
expected for the three days, Sept
27-28-29. The city, in holiday garb,
will extend every courtesy and con
venience to the end that all may
enjoy themselves to the fullest
Each year the Rodeo has grown
and this year, with the machinery
more thoroughly oiled than here
tofore, everyone may look forward
to the snappiest and best show in
local history.
