an evening of magic, melody, mirth
and mystery here on Saturday, Nov.
17, at 7:30 p. m., Heppner school
auditorium, as the second number
of Heppner's community course.
This company is headed by Mr.
William Eugene Frye, well known
magician and illusionist who has
been thrilling, mystifying and de
lighting audiences In all parts of
the United States for the past. ten
years. Assisting Mr. rye wm oe
Miss Leah Miles, pianist, saxaphon-
ist and soprano. The musical fea
ture of the program is an attrac
tive addition to the most unusual
entertainment which is offered by
Mr. Frye.
Tickets at 75c for adults and 25c
for children are now on sale at
Gordon's confectionery store.
The program includes the most
mystifying Illusions from the Held
of modern magic. Birds snared in
mid-air over the heads of the aud
ience, fishes caught in the same
way, the spirit slates, the disappear
ing ring, the wonder screen, the van
ishing doves, the mysterious sun

ums. The question of whether or
not spirits actually return and com
municate with human beings is one
which has baffled many leading
thinkers of the world for a great
many years. Mr. Frye, of course.
does not answer the question but he
does expose many of the so-called
spiritualistic illusions, in some very
mystifying demonstrations; that Is,
they are mystifying until thorough
ly explained by Mr. Frye.

CITIZENS URGED TO COOPER
ATE IN MEMBERSHIP
CAMPAIGN.
A proclamation officially designat-
ine the week beginning on Armis
tice Day as American Legion Week
and calling on all citizens to aid the
Legion in its big membership effort
that will be conducted during tne
week, was issued today by Mayor
G. Noble. The proclamation
raised the Legion for Its high ideals
and splendid objectives for the com
ing year and urged that full coop
eration be given the Legion In mak
ing this week one of the most suc
cessful in the history of the organ
ization.
According to Earl Gilliam, Com
mander of the Heppner post of the
Legion, this week is a part of a nation-wide
observance when the pub
lic in general will give their support
to the efforts of the Legion to start
out on their 1929 program with a
100 per cent membership by enroll
ing all who are members in isub.
Every person who is eligible to
membership In either the Legion or
Legion Auxiliary, will be asked to
enroll during this week.
The proclamation follows:
The neonle of the Citv of Heppner
have the greatest of admiration for the
plenam service given oy ner buh mm
onhtpm in time of war. Thev ap
preciate the heroic sacrifices that have
been made By tne loyai men ana women
who have so ably defended this great
nation of ours in every emergency.
Today we have in mis city an urgan-

PRESIDENT-ELECT HERBERT HQOVER
Heppner Defeats Fossil.
Heppner again showed up as the
stronger element in the football
game last Saturday when they
rushed the Fossil boys back of the
goal line eight times and completed
four tries for points to make the
final score 52 to 0.
Fossil's team, which was much
lighter than Heppner's, completed
a pass to make one first down while
Heppner lost the ball once on downs
and twice on fumbles.
Gentry, Heppner's quarterback,
took three of Fossil's punts for
touchdowns and several others to
within the twenty-yard mark.
Vernon Sasser, Fossil's left half,
starred for the visitors. He made
more yardage than any other Fos
sil backfieldman and stopped the
Heppner players when his team
mates failed.
Heppner will play lone Friday af
ternoon at lone and Hermiston at
Rodeo field Monday Immediately
after the races which start at 1:30.
These two teams are going to hold
Heppner down and give the locals a
fight for victory.
Since Condon and Heppner are
the only undefeated teams in the
Upper Columbia Athletic league the
championship will probably be de
cided when these two teams meet
at Condon on November 17.
Grade Team.
The Heppner grade team jour
neyed to Condon Saturday where
they met Condon's grade team and
played to a 6 to 6 tie. The little
fellows are quite disappointed be
cause they did not have the same
luck that they had a week ago when
they defeated the same team 24-0.
Marsell Jones, Roy Gentry and
Floyd Jones deserve honorable men
tion for playing wonderful football
both on the offensive and defensive,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Rasmus are
nicely located on the Joe Rector
farm up Hinton creek, now rented
by Harold Cohn. Mr. Cohn recently
completed a residence on the prop
erty to be occupied by Mr. and Mrs.
Rasmus.
Walter Crosby, who farms at the
mouth of Skinner creek on Willow
creek, was transacting business In
town today.
Annual Red Cross Drive
Begins Next Sunday
The annual Red Cross drive will
be on this coming week, and will
continue indefinitely, is the word
given us by Mrs. W. P. Mahoney,
local president The plan is to have
each minister of the churches deliv
er a message on the Red Cross, and
no doubt this will be done in the
pulpits of the city. The annual drive
egins with Armistice Day, and
then is carried on until the local
hapter feels they have done what
they can In raising the funds needed.
Mrs. Mahoney is desirous of get
ting sufficient funds into the hands
of the local chapter to carry on the
work of instruction at the swim
ming pool next year more extensive
ly than the past summer. There
were funds only for one week s in
struction this year, and there should
be at least two weeks, or more. The
citizens here who had their children
under this instruction, as well as
those older members of the com
munity who took advantage of the
classes, can testify to its benefits.
This will be one item that the local
chapter will .have to do with the
coming season.
Then there is the great work of
the National Red Cross, always be
ing directed In the needy places,
where disaster and unexpected epi
demic may come any time; these
great ministrations are always be
ing carried on. In the state of Ore
gon the work has been going on
now for ten years for World War
veterans, and an average of 484 ex-
service men and their families in
this state have received aid each
month during the past year. These
figures are taken from the organi
zations annual report, and repre
sents the work of 29 chapters in
the state engaged In this task
There should be a prompt re
sponse and a glad renewal of mem
berships by the people of this com
munity when they are called upon
by the local workers.

Chief Scout Executive
Visits Heppner Troup
Douglas Hawley, chief scout exe
cutive for Blue Mountain Council,
with headquarters at Walla Walla,
has been visiting with the local
troup this week, and making sug
gestions as to the policies that
should be pursued the coming year.
While expressing satisfaction re
garding the general progress made
by the local scouts, Mr. Hawley felt
that more interest should and could
be aroused among the local people,
and the local scout committee was
urged to bend its efforts along that
line the coming year. To this end
the committee was increased in
membership from three to five, and
a concerted effort will be made to
arouse more interest on the part of
the community.
Heppner has a very creditable
scout troup, and there is no reason
why they should not have a larger
place in the life of the community
than they do. They should come in
to the limelight more.

a big day for scouting in Heppner.
Douglas Hawley, scout executive
ffor Blue Mountain Council, was here
and stirred all of us out of our
sleeping lags. We now have a large
executive council including Super
intendent Burgess, Harold Cohn,
Chas. Thomson, Dr. McMurdo, Earl
Gilliam and Gay Anderson. This
group of men together with other
men of the town will be back of the
troop and take an active part in the

the mothers of the Boy Scouts, have
promised to stand behind the boys
as Mothers' Auxiliary to the troop
The Legion still is sponsoring the
bo vs.
First of all of the new tnmgs mat
have come to pass Is the fact that
