BOWER, Minister Irene Rich and Warner Baxter In CRAIG'S WIFE, Star Theater, Sun day and Monday a tremendous picture, dramatic, gripping, appeal lng, UNIQUE PROGRAM HERE DN THURSDAY Great Literary Men Made to Relive by Sidney Landon. An unusual treat is In store for Morrow county folk who see and hear Sidney Landon, with his pro gram of character studies and speaking likenesses of great literary men, at the school auditorium next Thursday evening at 7:30, the fourth number of Heppner's com munity course. By reviewing the greatest literary men of a century Sidney Landon has contributed new dignity to the art of impersonation. With wigs, grease paints and a precisely vivid imagination he gives faithful repro ductions of Mark Twain, Josh Bill ings, Victor Hugo, Bill Nye, Long fellow, Thackeray, Tennyson, Kip ling, Holmes and numerous others. He completely loses his own identi ty, assumes a new role and quotes from the works of the genius im personated. One of Mr. Landon's most popu lar presentations is Mark Twain making his historic birthday speech, Edgar Allan Poe is pictured in his story of "Annabel Lee." A humor ous selection by F. Hopkinson Smith, a Rudyard Kipling poem, a humorous reading from James Whitcomb Riley, Bill Nye's "Amer ican Boy," and a group of Longfel low poems are favorites in his rep ertoire. At Elmira, N. Y., a man from the audience, after seeing Mr. Landon's portrayal of Mark Twain, said to the impersonator: 'We here knew him so well that it was hard to be lieve Mark wasn't back. But we knew it wasn't the original when you failed to do the one last natural thing. You failed to pass around the cigars. That was one of Mark's favorite customs." Like compliments to Mr. Landon's impersonations have been given without number. He is a rare artist who will enthrall you so that time will pass unnoticed. Many of the later writers, such as F. Hopkinson Smith, Mark Twain and James Whitcomb Riley, Mr. Landon knew personally. Oth ers, in both England and America, he has learned to know through visits to their former homes and libraries. He has found that the only way to really know these cel ebrities and receive their inspira tion is through personal contact or by studying their lifetime sur roundings. With this in mind he has interviewed relatives and close friends of Longfellow, Poe and oth ers, securing intimate touches that are given realistic interpretation in the Landon entertainment. Sedan Leaves Highway, Turns Bottom Side Up The Buick sedan of Mrs. Sarah White of Lexington, driven by her, parted company with the highway about a quarter of a mile beyond the Wightman Bros, barn Tuesday evening when she was on her re turn homo from Heppner. The car went over a small bank and was turned bottom side up. Riding with Mrs. White was her son, Claude, who, in breaking a glass with his arm In order to crawl out, received quite a severe sut, while his mother was pretty well jarrerd up. They were attended by Dr. A. H. Johnston and after medical treatment were able to re turn home. The wrecking car from Ferguson Chevrolet company pulled the stranded sedan out of the ditch and on to the highway again and it was found that the machine had not been seriously damaged. P. T. A.

Deshon, who informed them of the death of Mrs. Rood. From Wednesday's Oregonian we have this account: At the beginning of a long cher ished and carefully planned trip to the Mediterranean ports Mrs. Fan nie O.

Sweek, In the First National Bank building, Hepp ner, Oregon, at 7:30 o'clock p. m Monday, February 25, 1929. Said meeting is for the purpose of elec tion of offices and transaction of such other business as may regular ly come before it. C. L. SWEEK, President. E. D. HALLOCK, Secretary. Miles Martin reports that the heavy snow covering his part of the county still remains, and the effect of milder weather conditions has melted it very slowly. It has been a long continued spell of feed ing at his place In fact one of the longest he has experienced and his life has been spent in this Eastern Oregon country. The slow melt ing process is a good thing, how ever, as it allows the water to soak into the ground where It Is needed. Mr. Martin was in Heppner a short time today looking after business affairs. Dogs Attack Sheep at R. A. Thompson Ranch Estimating his loss at near 100 head of fine ewes, R. A. Thompson reported an attack on a flock of sheep by dogs at his ranch Monday night Identity of the dogs was not ascertained, though Mr. Thompson reported that dogs had been seen chasing cattle on his place shortly before and had contemplated put ting on a night guard to protect the sheep. However, as the dogs had showed no signs of molesting the sheep he neglected to do so. One of the dogs was killed. He reported the loss at the court house Tuesday morning, and will place a claim against the county dog fund to cover his loss. This fund, raised by a dog tax, is for the purpose of paying for such losses. The law permits the killing on sight of sheep-killing dogs. Legion Will Sponsor Emergency Committee In accordance with the program of the Oregon Department Ameri can Legion, Heppner Post will spon sor an emergency committee for the city. The move, started at the Monday evening meeting of the post, contemplates the organization of a committee whose purpose will be to take charge of relief work in case of any disaster or catas trophe which might occur in the city or surrounding territory. It Is expected the organization of a per manent relief committee would, in case of disaster, expedite the work as it would do away to a great ex tent with the preliminary organiza tion work usually found necessary. While the committees' organiza tion is sponsored by the Legion, it is expected that each civic, frater nal and social organization of the city will appoint a member to serve on the body. Commander Earl Gil liam was elected to act as the Le gion's representative, and the ad jutant was instructed to invite all other organizations in town to ap point representatives. It Is planned to get the committee together as soon as all members are appointed to perfect a permanent organiza tion. Heppner Post is making plans to organize teams for membership in the Junior Baseball League of America. This league, one of the major projects of the American Le gion, is composed of baseball teams from all over the country. The teams participate in district games in each state, the winners of the district championships playing for the state titles, and the state win ners taking part in the intersection- al tournaments.
