A dainty luncheon was served by Mrs. Faler and the assistant host esses, Mesdames Cramer, Hend ricks, Johnson, Kunze, Geo. Wick lander and Porter. Final reports of the talents were given. Mrs. E. T. Messenger turned in her talents amounting to $10, made by selling preserves, jell, pickles, doing laun dry and in various other ways. She was given a good round of applause for she turned in by far the largest sum. Mrs. J. F. Barlow came sec ond, her dollar having grown to $4.50. It was voted to have a con cert some time in February. On January 24 Mrs. Robert Johnson of Idaho will give an entertainment at the sehoolhouse.

The missionary meeting will be held at the home of Mrs. Root and the next Silver Tea will be in charge of Mrs. King's committee. Chas. Dillon has purchased a new Chevrolet truck at Pendleton. The old Dodge car which seemed so badly wrecked when W. O. King skidded on the icy pavement, was fixed up so he was able to drive it home that night. There seems to have been no bad results from the accident Francine was in the hos pital for three days lest complica tions occur. Tout several x-rays show ed no broken bones. The car turned over on her but she was lucky as were the rest of them. The Home Economics club met at the home of Mrs. I. Skoubo on Wed nesday. A fine feast was enjoyed, followed by a business meeting. The Falers were guests at the O. H. Warner home at a fine dinner on Sunday. A crew is working at Messner putting block signals in the yard. This work will take about two weeks, it is estimated. Mr. and Mrs. Bickford and Mr. and Mrs. Hedgren of La Grande were here for several days last week on business. They camped in the old house on the Brice place occupied by the Pruters years ago. The Hedgrens own the ranch farm ed by the Bates' whose house was destroyed by fire on New Years day. Mrs. Maggie Farley and Willie Doherty of Willow creek were vis itors at the Pete Farley home on Sunday. A petition has been circulated and presented to A. C. Houghton, the project manager, asking that the expenses of the irrigation district be cut down as far as feasible. A few favored the elimination of the sinking fund. This might be a good plan, provided a catastrophe never occurs, but if a bad break ini the ditch or some other unforseen dis aster befell the irrigation system it would be a good plan to have a reserve fund on hand. The Bridge club members each gave Mrs. H. E. Bates a gift at their last meeting. The Adolph Skoubo family were guests Sunday at the L. C. Cooney home, at a lovely dinner. Mrs. Glen Hadley has been ill with a siege of flu for several days. The Helomala Bridge club enter tained their husbands and a few friends at bridge Friday night at the Sundstand home at Coyote. A number of the members were un able to attend, so others substituted for them. Mrs. Nick Faler won high for the ladies and Mr. Sundstand for the men. Members and their husbands present were Coats, Den son, Faler, Brown, Lewis, Sund stand and Shannon. Others attend ing were Guy Barlows, Dillaboughs, Tom Hendricks, Bottemillers, Miss Katherine Brown, Hattie Scholtz, Orval Shannon and Mrs. Denson's son who was here from La Grande. The Surface family who have rented the Broyles place on the West End, have taken a long chance in a gamble with old man Weather and mother Nature and have plant ed an acre of potatoes. Whether it will be a case of "love's labor lost" or a successful venture depends on the weather. If the plants are not frozen it might mean a tidy sum of money to get an acre of potatoes on such an early market The H. E. club is sponsoring the coming of Miss Sinnard of O. S. C. who will be here January 27 to as sist the women with their make over problems in the same manner as did Mrs. Mack two years ago. Every woman on the project who has garments she wishes to make over is urged to come. Have your garment ripped, cleaned and press ed ready for Miss Sinnard's help.

Bulletins were sent out from the school concerning the treatment. There is some Impetigo in the school also. Mrs. Richardson and children were entertained at the Claude My ers home on Sunday. The Boardman Bun Dial Last Saturday at the Boardman gym Arlington was defeated by a close score, 19-18. This was the last practice game, and gives Board man a good start for the league games.

When a worm turns, it is usually to get in structions from the back seat. Which reminds us of the story of two sail ors arrested for drun ken driving. W h e nl brought before the judge and asked who was driving, they re plied, "Neither one of us, we were both in the back seat." Not so long ago an other prophet was pre dicting a hard and cold winter as the squirrels had a lot of nuts gathered. Ho hum. The only thing we can offer is to play safe and keep the bin full of Tum-A-Lump the buyword for good coal. "Wheat will have o have a value of 26.5 cents per bushel be fore It can be burned as cheaply as coal." So says a professor at W. S. C. This was figur ed out on the basis of heat given per pound of material burned. It takes 122.5 pounds of wheat to give the same amount of heat as 76.8 pounds of coal. On this basis we will gladly trade coal for wheat. The man who dou bles up with mirth when a woman has difficulty in driving through a ten-foot garage door usually sobers up when he tries to thread a needle. "I don't care what you think; we want to know what you know," shouted the lawyer. " Well, I may as well get off the stand then," said the witness. "I can't talk without thinking. I ain't no lawyer." Lumber prices have dropped and boy, oh boy, what a drop. There never was a bet ter time to do new building and repair work. Let's talk about it "We like to help folks build." Now one of the cit ies prominent weather prophets predicts a light winter, as the geese are flying north. Daily Service ON WAY FREIGHT Between Heppner and Portland and way points.
