Crowd Large; Performers
' Good; Children Have
Junior Town.
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. and Mrs. J. O. Turner and son
Donald arrived here on Wednesday
evening from their home in Salem,
and will visit with their relatives
for a couple of weeks. Mr. Turner.
who has perfected a leveler for com
bine harvesters, will spend some
time In the county arranging to
dispose of the invention to owners
of harvesters. The implement la
ecommended highly by manufac
turers of the combines, and Mr.
Turner anticipates a good demand
for it
H. H. Phillips, an old gentleman
who has been about Heppner for
the past couple of years, was taken
to the state hospital at Pendleton
by Sheriff Bauman the first of the
week. 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. It is hoped that such
treatment as he will receive at the
hospital will put him right again.
