Oscar Paine Delivers Adress; Fitting Service Held in Morning. LOCALS WIN ON GRID High, Grade School Teams Clash; Buffet Dinner and Ball Feature Evening Activities. Armistice day in Heppner was ob served as a holiday by schools and business houses, with local post and unit American Legion and Auxiliary taking the lead in a fitting program. The day's activities included a pa triotic program at the Star theater beginning at 10:30 o'clock in the morning, a double-header football game between Heppner and Hermis ton high and grade school teams In the afternoon, a banquet for Legion and Auxiliary members, ladies and escorts in the evening, followed by the annual ball at the Elks temple.

Eighty-flve people were served at the buffet dinner at Legion hall in the evening. A iarge attendance was also had at the ball following, with music furnished by Fletcher's orchestra of Pendleton. A number of Hermiston people were in the city for the football games, and several remained over for the evening activities. Heppner emerged victorious from the two football games. Results were, grade school 27-0, high school 39-0. The largest crowd to attend a football game here this season was in attendance. Both Heppner teams showed bet ter organization than their oppon ents, and soon after the starting whistles it was a matter of conjec ture only as to what the margin would be. Heppner graders opened up a power and deception attack (hat completely swept their smeller opponents before them, and while the Hermiston boys fought gamely throughout, they were unable to make headway or stem the tide. A neat double lateral pass gave Hepp ner its first score early in the game, while long runs by Jones and Gil liam were responsible for the three other touchdowns. Conversions on two occasions were made by buck ing the ball across, once on a pass Gilliam to Schwarz, while . the fourth attempt via a place kick failed. W. R. Poulson refereed. Power Shown by Locals. Power plays were resorted to al most entirely by Heppner in the high school game, with delayed bucks and reverses netting large gains. Earl Thomson, full, and Roy Gentry, quarter, took the brunt of the offense In carrying the ball, while Curtis Thomson and Orrin Furlong at halfback positions, were the remainder of the "four horse men." Four of Heppner's six touch downs were made on straight foot ball, while two resulted from block ed Hermiston kicks. One of these came In the last minute and a half of play In the first half, when Hepp ner, klcking-off after touchdown, blocked a Hermiston punt deep in Hermiston territory, then bucked the ball across. Three conversions after touchdown were made, each on straight line plunges. Hermiston was unable to make first down any time through the Heppner line, but on resorting to an aerial attack in the final period, they made large gains, and twice the receiver was kept from a touch down by a lone Heppner tackier. Ingles of Lexington refereed, and Tamblyn, Heppner, umpired. FARM FEATURES ON AIR.

RAT CONTROL CITED Biological Survey Man Aids City in Campaign; Mrs. Mahoney Asks Help for Red Cross. J. D. Mickle, Oregon dairy and food commissioner, made a twenty minute address at Lions club meet ing Monday, wasting few words in a graphic description of the work of his department of state govern ment, and conveying to his audience an intense personal interest in the position he has filled for seventeen years. To correct an existing im pression that the department con fines itself almost solely to the reg ulation of dairies, Mr. Mickle quoted a long list of duties it is called upon to perform in connection with the distribution and sale of food pro ducts, not only for human consump tion but for animal use as well. He pointed out that the Oregon law follows closely the national pure food law, especially in regard to adulteration. Adulteration, mis representation, and sanitation of food environment are the three ad ministrative divisions of the depart ment's work, he said. Citing many instances of the seizure of unsalable foods, closing of unlawfully conduct ed markets and restaurants, and conducting of better establishments as the result of the department's work, Mr. Mickle said experience had shown that those who wish to comply with the law welcome in spection and that in many instances where suits were necessitated to bring about better conditions, de fendants later thanked the depart ment for the better business enjoy ed as a result of the action. Inspection Welcomed. 'The public generally appreciates foods purchased being as represent ed," he said, "and confidence en gendered by concerns handling such products, naturally results in more patronage. This applies to the producer as well as to the retailer, and the department has drawn no lines as to where the food is found in prosecuting its work, feeling that the farmer is as much obligated to protect the public food supply as is the commission man or the retail merchant. That a new and better order in the handling of the nation's food supply is at hand, is evidenced, Mr. Mickle said, by the United States Canners association asking the national government for regu lation, so that when a purchaser buys goods bearing its label, they may know the goods is exactly as represented. Instead of resenting regulation as formerly, progressive concerns are now welcoming it as an adjunct to business. Roy Fugate, with the United States Biological survey in preda tory animal control work, also spoke briefly to the Lions, giving an outline of methods which may be followed in rat extermination work within the city. Declaring garbage disposal sites to be one of the main breeding places for rats, Mr. Fu gate said that extermination could not be hoped for without doing away with, their habitations. A sys tematic poisoning campaign along lines indicated followed by rat proofing of property should do away with the pest, he said. He recommended "K. R. O." (kills rats only) as being the safest, if not the deadliest, rat poison, as it effectu ally kills rats while being thrown off by other animals. Mr. Fugate was in the city from Monday till today, giving demonstrations and otherwise assisting in a campaign ofrat extermination. Secretary Leaves. Mrs. W. P. Mahoney, chairman of the Morrow county chapter, Am erican Red Cross, appeared before the club to ask cooperation looking to the success of the annual roll call which started Tuesday. She ex pressed the hope that everyone would contribute, stating that fifty cents of each dollar membership subscribed locally stays in the coun ty for local use. Group memberships especially were urged, as from these five dollar amounts, $4.50 remains with the local chapter. Lions gave a rousing farewell vote of thanks to Earl D, Hallock, who resigned as secretary on leav ing for The Dalles where he will be located. Mr. Hallock had served faithfully in the capacity since the club's Inception. The directors ap pointed Jasper Crawford to fill the unexpired term. THANKS EXPRESSED.

Doric lodge No. 20, Knights of Pythias, will meet luesuay evening at the I. O. O. F. hall, A full at tendance of members Is urged. Jasper V. Crawford, K, R. S. T T John II. Lewis, Engineer, Advises Payment Now To Save Money. Morrow county people who owe taxes levied by the John Day Irri gation district have an opportunity to save themselves money by pay ing those taxes before the first of the year, declared John H. Lewi3, Portland engineer to whom the dis trict is heavily obligated, while In Heppner Friday in connection with the matter. Mr. Lewis pointed out that the time limit on outstanding warrants expires next year, and that mandamus proceedings to force collection of the tax for their payment may be instituted if the tax is not voluntarily paid. Outstanding indebtedness of the district now amounts to $11,000, about half the amount of uncollect ed taxes, he said. In the event mandamus proceedings were insti tuted, it is highly probable a new survey of the district would be nec essary, involving a reassessment, which at a low estimate, would more than double the district in debtedness. Mr. Lewis said he had no intention of forfeiting the am ount due him, and would take nec essary steps for collection. He holds that payment now of due taxes is the cheapest way out for those affected, and for this rea son urges district members, of which he is one, to follow the cheap er course. Mr. Lewis said he him self is a landowner within the dis trict, and for this reason does not relish the idea of facing a heavier tax burden. LEXINGTON NEWS On Sunday, both in the afternoon and evening, Dr. D. V.' Poling of Oregon State college lectured and led community singing in the Leach Memorial hall.

ALLINGER. I was very happy to be one of the Christian Endeavor party of 450 who boarded the Cameronia bound for Glasgow. The Cameronia is a Scotch boat of the Anchor branch of the Cunard Steamship line and all of the ship's officers and stew ards and stewardesses had a de lightful Scotch brogue. The cour tesy and kindness that we received from them is incomparable and will always be a pleasant memory to me. The passage was n-ugh and many were very ill. Fortunately I did not get seasick either going or re turning. We were all happy, how ever, when at 5 o'clock one morning we were roused to see Ireland. The Cameronia slowed down off the coast of Ireland and discharged pas sengers for Londonderry. And Ire land is as green as they say! A beautiful, seemingly luxuriant green. I looked out of my porthole and at last realized why they call Ireland the "Emerald Isle." Then along the Scotch coast and finally into the beautiful river Clyde, skirting the land of Bobby Burns and passing many palatial residences along the river's edge, among them that of Harry Lauder, We docked at Glasgow, the world's largest shipbuilding center and stayed on board the boat that night for Glasgow did not have ho tels enough to accommodate us. Then through the famous Tros sacks for the rest of the party and GRAIN FREIGHT CUT SET FOR JANUARY! Interstate Commerce Commission Upholds Order In Rejecting all Requests for Rehearing. That Morrow county farmers will yet benefit by the Interstate Com merce commission order which was to have reduced grain freight rates by five cents a hundred pounds to Portland from here effective No vember 1, but which order was post poned to take effect January 1, 1931, seems now assured with announce ment of the commission that no further delay will be allowed and that the reductions will go into ef fect the first of the year as ordered. The commission's original order which affected the revision here was made effective November 1, but was postponed until January 1 be cause of objections, and It has since been the target of protests by wes tern, eastern and southern carrier interests. In addition the rearrangement of grain charges was questioned by representatives of grain producers and grain handling interests at var ipus western points. "The interstate commerce com mission has voted to deny the var ious petitions submitted to it for modification or rehearing in the grain case," an announcement said. "This notice is given in this manner for the informal and early informa tion of all concerned. Formal orders will be entered." In revising the grain rates the commission necessarily was requir ed to rearrange eastern and south ern schedules affecting western grain and to make a large number of reductions and increases in the existing grain schedules. Parent-Teachers Hold National Education Meet National Education week was ob served in the meeting of the Hepp ner Parent-Teachers association at the school yesterday, by the address of Mrs. Lucy E. Rodgers, county su perintendent, entitled "Closer Coop eration Between Parent and Teach er."

Girl Scout Pine Cone troop No. 1 is taking orders Tor doughnuts which they will deliver fresh at your door Saturday, Nov. 15, at 25 cents a dozen. Phone your orders to 9F11. to Edinburgh for me, where I had a nice bout with the flu. Scotland and all of Its beauties are still clos ed to me, but I was ready to travel again when the party moved toward London. London will always stand out In my mind as the city of marvelous traffic control. And such traffic! So thick that when one of the double deck busses came traveling toward me I shut my eyes and hoped for the best. Marvelously, almost, It seemed, the traffic would part and there I was still whole. They have no mechanical traffic signals; Just officers who direct at the intersec tions with their arms. And quiet. You will not believe me when I tell you that I heard only three or four automobile horns blown while I was In London. Considerably different from New York city. London Is also a city of chimney pots. Almost every room in a Lon don home has a coal fireplace and all of these small chimneys emerge together surrounded by a larger brick chimney. There are some times as many as ten small chim neys sticking out of a large brick one. At the Tower of London there Is a dazzling display of the English crown plate and jewels. The Kohl noor, largest diamond in the world is here and It is a fascinating sight. I could hardly tear myself away.

STORE IS DAMAGED Football Team Wins from Heppner; Church, Lodge Meetings Draw Visitors; Other News. By JENNIE E. McMURRAY The lone hotel was completely de stroyed by fire between 7 and 8 o' clock Sunday morning. It is be lieved the fire started from an over heated stove. The hotel had been closed while some repair work was bing done, and E. H. Stiles, the man who was doing the work, was sleep ing and preparing his own meals in the building. The fire was well under way when discovered by him. The adjoining building occupied by Frank Engelman s pastime was damaged by fire and water. There was no wind that morning which made it possible to keep the fire from spreading. The loss, both to Mr. Engelman and to Jack Camp bell, owner of the hotel building, Is partly covered by Insurance. A part of the lone hotel was built many years ago, before the railroad was built into Morrow county. It was used as a store and hotel and later housed the postofflce when it was moved from Petteysville into lone. From time to time additions were built onto the original build ing until it was quite a comfortable and commodious hostelry for a small town. Mr. Stiles lost most of his cloth ing, a wrist watch and a sum of money in the fire and several men who had rooms at the hotel lost clothing. The volunteer fire fighters in lone deserve much credit for the effi cient way in which they controlled the fire. The football season was closed Friday afternoon when the lone boys defeated the Heppner team by a score of 7-0 on the local field. Six games have been played this sea son, lone lost one to Lexington and tied twice with Arlington. Bruce Botts has been: quite ill with influenza.
