The largest crowd ever attending Chautauqua in Heppner, and one of the largest crowda assembled on any occasion, witnessed "Smilin' Thru," the last number of the sec ond annual Morrow County Free unautauqua, Tuesday evening. The large tent was packed to capacity under the seating arrangement em ployed, and all estimates heard give between 1200 and 1500 people In atr tendance. This was the largest number of people present at any single program, with the first night ranking second when the crowd was estimated between 900 and 1000, though a good attendance was had throughout, and the performers and superintendent were' greatly pleased with the reception accorded them, The local management announces that the event is practically assured for next year, though a shortage still remains in the subscription list, and they would appreciate it if any Mat were overlooked would call on W. W. Smead, F. R. Brown, Gay M Anderson or J. W. Hiatt, members of the board of directors, and place their names on the list. A financial statement for this year will be given out next week that all may see ex actly what amount Is required to carry on the free Chautauqua. W. W. Smead was chosen director to succeed himself by the assocla- tlon, through balloting the last two days, being the candidate placed in nomination by the naminating com mittee. No vote was taken to ascertain the most popular number on the program, but the numbers were unl formly good, and the behavior of the large crowds was evidence that all were appreciated. The play, "The Clean Up," opened Chautauqua Sat urday night. Given by the Pollard company of five players, this com edy hit, light In nature, was cspec lally popular. On Sunday, the Radio Warblers, headed by Corlne Jessop, "the per sonality girl," presented the after noon entertainment and in the eve ning shured the time with Mrs. Har old Peat. Miss Jessop proved her self a very pleasing entertainer with her singing and readings, and with her accompanying artists David Hartley, violinist, baritone and pian 1st, and Fein Zinzer, cellolat, gave two programs of exceeding charm. From the numerous comments heard, if a popularity vote had been taken, there is little doubt that Mrs. Harold Peat would have been ac corded a heavy vote. A world fig ure. Mrs. Peat brought to Morrow county people an amazing insight into international problems in her address, "The International Future of Our Children." Her charming Irish wit, personality and delivery reflected a depth of,Jeeling and in tellect. Correction in the methods of writing and teaching history, a better knowledge of world problems, less glorification of war and more picturing of its true gruesomcness to the end that there may be a new international understanding that will make future war an Impossi bility, were the high lights of Mrs. Peat's address. Monday afternoon and evening the large audiences were treated to programs of rare beauty by Olivar's Philippine Troubadours, native South Sea Islanders who played and sang the beautiful soft music of their native land, combined with many popular selections of our own country. Senora Olivar's clear so prano voice made an especial hit Though their program was given under distressing conditions Mon day afternoon due to the high wind, they carried bravely through and succeeded in captivating their au dience. Monday evening George E. Toomey, twice chosen best "all round" athlete of the Middle West, put across a message with a punch, "Kicking Goal," In which he urged the youth In his audience to put all they've got into their sports and the game of life as well. His mes sage was very well received. The Bob Hanscom players In "Smllln' Thru" completely won their audience Tuesday evening. In the afternoon, they put on three light one-act comedy skits, appealing more especially to the children. A classic In Itself, "Smilin' Thru" was made exceptionally charming by the manner presented by the Hanscom players. The stage and lighting ef fects achieved were not short of miraculous under the handicaps of a Chautauqua tent, and the artists all proved their claims to distinc tion by their fine acting. The ohlldren, especially, were sorry to see the big tent go, as they had a wonderful time under the su pervision of Miss Olive Breed. They were organized Into a junior town, sponsoring as a project the Improve ment of tho swimming tank. On Mondny Mnyor McCarty handed the keys of the city over to Adele Nlck erson, junior town mayor, and the children had a wonderful time. On the council were Dean Goodman, Rena Wilson, June Anderson, Ted McMuido, Ruth Gilliam, Ernest Clark. Messengers were Jennie Swlndlg nnd Robert Baker, and speed cop, Marlon Oviatt. Each of tho olllcers made an address at the tent Monday evening ,and Spencer Crawford was presented their con tribution to the American Legion swimming tank fund.

Fans at Rodeo field Sunday were treated to one of the closest and best games of the season when Heppner succeeded in tripping up lone 2-1. The day was ideal and the largest crowd this year witness ed the game. It was the second errorless game played by the Heppner gang this year, and the third straight win from lone. There were lots of hit balls, but "a small part of them counted for hits, lone clouting out five off Drake while Heppner got six off Ritchie and Ford, three off each. Ford relieved Ritchie in the fifth after Heppner's two scores were already made. Heppner scored the first run in the second inning, when with two away Sprouls singled and stole sec ond from where he scored on Hl- att's single. B. Bleakman ended it by fanning. The other score was in the fourth. Drake, first up, walk ed and stole second, scoring on Tur ner's double blow. Sprouls and Hiatt both went out pitcher to first and B. Bleakman again breezed. Ione's lone tally was made in the fifth. Rankin hit and was sacrificed to second by Akers, scoring on Ford's hit. Ford himself being caught going to third when the ball was overthrown at home to stop Rankin. Drake recovered the throw and made a perfect peg to nab Ford. George Ritchie fanned for the third out A nice double play was made by B. Bleakman at third in the first inning. There was one away and R. Lundell walked, going second on Rietmann's hit Frank Lundell knocked a liner down to third which Bleakman took on the plate and threw to first catching both the Lundell boys. Sunday's win was the sixth straight for the locals, who have been improving every week. Next Sunday the boys go to Condon, re turning in a week to play Wasco, the league leaders. Another game at Wasco and a game here with Arlington, July 7, completes the lea gue schedule. Condon has protested the game with Fossil Sunday, and a meeting of Wheatland league directors will probably be called In the near fu ture to decide whether the protest stands. The protest was based on a clause In the by-laws, stating that no team shall play any player after the tenth game unless he has par ticipated in at least one game pre vious thereto, unless the player rec- ognizedly belongs to the team by virtue of residence in its vicinity. it is understood Fossil played a number of outside players. How ever, it was only their ninth game as they had two postponed games, and just what the ruling of the directors will be in regard to the protest is a matter for conjecture.

Mr. Phillips had been ill for some time and a patient at Heppner hospital, suffering from heart trouble, and his condition at the present time grows out of this, combined with age and other com plications.
