PAGE TWO HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, APRIL 2, 1931. BOARDMAN MRS. A. T. HEREIM. Correspondent Frank Cramer and family have moved to the ranch. Mr. Cramer will run the Fortier and Earl Cra mer places this summer. Lee Mead and family also moved the past week and are nicley settled in their ranch home. Great interest was shown In the sectional declamatory contest held here Saturday night with talent from Irrigon, Strawberry, Pine City and Alpine competing with Board- man. As usual Alpine walked away with the lion's share of the honors and all were justly earned for the children all showed splendid train' ing. Places were awarded as fol lows: Div. Ill, non-humorous, Irl Clary. Alpine. 1st, Reith Bowman, Pine City, 2nd and Clara Mae Dil lon 3rd. Humorous: Catherine Mead 1st, Boardman; Bruce Lindsay, Al pine, 2nd; Cecelia Healy, Pine City, 3rd. Div. II. lion-humorous: Peggy Kilkenny, Alpine, 1st; Laverne Ba ker, Boardman, 2nd; Doris Klinger, 3rd. Humorous: Reitha Howard, Alpine, 1st; Floyd Oliver, Irrigon, 2nd; Allan Chaffee, Boardman, 3rd The winners of first and second places go to Heppner to the county contest April 11. Boardman people served lunch to the visitors after the program. Judges were Mrs. Zel- lar and Mrs. Cochran of Arlington and Miss Dyer of Stanfield. Mr, Lindsay of Alpine kindly sang two selections and the Rythm orchestra consisting of the first four grades made its first appearance. On Friday night, Mr. Marschat, Miss Campbell, Norma Gibbons, Carl Wicklander and Mary Chaffee motored to Alpine to attend the sec tional contest for high school stu dents. Norma and Carl each placed second and Mary third. Boardman folks who attended the band concert Friday night at Ar lington, given by the band from Oregon State college, were the Kings, Mrs. Hadley, Katherine Brown, Bert Rose, Miss Shellenber ger, the Rainvilles and the Wick lander children. Pomona met Saturday at Irrigon, Because of the conflict of dates with the sectional declamatory contest the attendance was not as large as usual, but those who attended felt well repaid. A wonderful dinner and supper were served. In the eve ning twelve candidates were given the Pomona degree. Two resolu tions of importance were passed at the meeting, one opposing the pro posed change to be made by the Mid-Columbia Bankers association, when a charge of 3 cents per check is to be added to the 50-cent service charge on all accounts which do not have a balance of $50. A balance of $75 entitles one to write ten checks before paying the 3-cent charge and so on. The Grange felt that the banks had gone to no extra expense recently to care for the clearing of the checks, but they had been, han dled by the regular office force of the bank and it was thought unfair to make this extra charge now when the farmers' accounts are of necessity low because of the com plete demoralization of prices of all farm commodities. Another resolution was regarding the organization of a tax league before the county assessor com pletes his work. The counties that have formed tax leagues are better able to meet the members of the county court concerning tax ques tions. Andy Andregg was a visitor here with R. Wasmer and other friends. Mr. Andregg, a former Boardman resident, is now located at Joseph and likes it very much. It reminds him of his old home in Switzerland, he says. He is still in the dairy game.

The Twelve Queens in American Life Corn Demand Exceeds Home Grown Supply Oregon's acreage of corn grown for grain could be increased 100 per cent or more without overproduc ing for the present state demand, according to the 1931 corn outlook report just issued by the Oregon State college extension service. Corn shipments into the state total sev eral times the amount of home grown corn sold by farmers. Sales of corn for cash from Ore gon farms have not exceeded 200 carloads a year, according to the best available information at the college. Although information on the total amount shipped into the state is incomplete, nearly 1400 car loads have been received at Port land alone in each of the past two years. Evidence of the shortage of home grown supplies of corn is also found in price statistics. The farm price received by corn growers in this state has been from 20 cents to 30 cents a bushel more than the aver age for the whole country. The general corn outlook for the United States indicates a five per cent increase in acreage, says the college report. Production is likely to be above average, although it is too early to estimate yields. The carryover of corn from the 1930 crop is expected to be less than av erage. NOTICE OF SALE.
