JOINS STATE BODY
Al Rankin Named County
Director; Action Tak
en at Lions Meet.
ATTEND CONCLAVES
Recent Discoveries in Medical and
Criminal Apprehension Fields
Told; Reports State Meet
The Lions club luncheon Monday
noon was turned into a meeting of
the Heppner Commercial club long
enough to vote that the club take
out a membership in the state
chamber of commerce and to elect
Al Rankin as director from Mor
row county. S. E. Notson, commer
cial club president, presided and
explained the advantages to be
gained by tying up with the state
organization. At present the Hepp
ner club is the only active commer
cial organization in the county, but
Mr. Notson expressed the hope that
steps might shortly be taken to
form a county-wide organization.
Of Interest to Lions were the re
ports of meetings attended during
the week by C. J. D. Bauman, Dr.
A. D. McMurdo and Jasper Craw
ford. Mr. Bauman attended the
convention of the Northwest Asso
ciation of Sheriffs and Police in
Seattle, Dr. McMurdo a meeting of
the Northwest Medical association
in Seattle and Mr. Crawford the
district convention of Lions Inter
national at La Grande. Also of in
terest was the announcement by
Mr. Bauman of the recent organiza
tion of a chess and checker club in
the city, meeting Tuesday and Fri
day nights in the sample rooms of
Hotel Heppner, with an Invitation
extended to anyone interested in
these inside sports to participate.
Ellis Thomson sang two solos, ac
companied by Miss Jeanette Tur
ner at the piano, and was well re
ceived. Teletypewriter Exhibited.
Recent progress made In the art
of apprehending criminals, as told
at the convention, was stressed by
Mr. Bauman. Working of the tele
typewriter, an instrument used in
receiving and sending telegraph
messages, was exhibited, and gen
eral adoption of its use recommend
ed for the purpose of broadcasting
descriptions of wanted criminals.
By means of these machines, al
ready in use, Mr. Bauman said that
bank robbers wanted in California
were apprehended in three days
time at Blaine, Wash., on the Can
adian border. While the machine
was being displayed, a message was
received from Governor Meier of
Oregon and other prominent men.
The convention offered congratula
tions to Mr. Meier on the organiza
tion of the state police. Mr. Bau
man also cited the more general
use of fingerprinting as a means of
Identification, saying that the time
will not be long in coming when the
fingerprints of everyone will be re
corded. People should understand
that there is no disgrace connected
with being fingerprinted, he said.
If one be Innocent the fingerprints
are a protection and should be look
upon as such.
Dr. McMurdo told of recent dis
coveries made In treating old brain
Injuries, which were revealed at the
medical convention. The idea has
existed In the past that convulsions
in cases where people had received
a head injury were caused by pres
sure of the skull on the brain. It
was shown that this is not the case,
but that such convulsions are caus
ed by adhesion of the brain to the
skull through the growing scar tis
sue. The main treatment for such
convulsions is a dehydrating diet,
the doctor said. With such a diet
the brain is caused to shrink, then
through an operation the adhering
scar tissue is removed. It makes
little difference if some of the
brain is taken along with the tis
sue," said the doctor, "for every
body has about five times as much
as he needs." A clinic was held
showing such an operation, which
verified all that the performing phy
sician had said, Dr. McMurdo relat
ed. Blind Work Adopted.
Mr. Crawford reported the adop
tion at the La Grande convention
of blind work as the major project
for all Lions clubs in the state for
the coming year, and the voting by
the convention of an amount to be
used In distributing a braille maga
zine among blind people. Earl W.
Hodges, president of Lions Interna
tional, was a convention speaker
and made a stirring address on
Llonlsm. Fred Walker of Spring
field was elected district governor
and O. F. Tate of Portland was re
elected secretary for the new year.
The 1932 convention was voted to
Klamath Falls and the 1933 con
vention to Roseburg. Mr. Crawford
was the only delegate present from
the Heppner club, though Heppner
was also represented by C. L.
Sweek, late president of the Hepp
ner club and retiring deputy district
governor. Mr. and Mrs. Sweek were
in La Grande for the convention
session Thursday, going on to Wal
lowa lake to spend the week end.
Robert J. Carsner, receiver of U.
S. land otlice, The Dalles, was a vis
itor in Heppner on Tuesday, being
called here on matters of business,
Morrow County Pomona
Indorses Cook Plan
Morrow County Pomona grange
at its meeting in Lexington last Sat
urday endorsed the Cook wheat
marketing plan. The resolution as
prepared by S. E. Notson and pass
ed by the grange, follows:
Whereas, the question of how to
dispose of the wheat surplus is the
most vital question confronting the
wheat farmer; and,
Whereas no plan suggested so
far seems to give promise of mak
ing the tariff on wheat effective ex
cept the plan proposed by Charles
Cook, of Pendleton, which seems to
offer to the farmers, through their
co-operatives, the means of making
the tariff effective upon three
fourths of the wheat crop; there
fore, Be it resolved, that the Morrow
County Pomona Grange hereby In
dorses the Cook plan for marketing
the wheat crop, and that we com
mend the plan to the farmers for
careful study and consideration;
and be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these
resolutions be sent to each Pomona
Grange in the State of Oregon.

LAMB SITUATION CITED.
To the Editor:
In the interest of the "Oregon
Eat More Lamb" meeting to be held
in Heppner, Monday, July 6, will
you please allow me space in your
columns to present an appeal to all
residents of Morrow county who
are intereted directly, or indirect
ly, in the survival of the sheep in
dustry of this county.
Receipts from lamb shipments
sent from this locality In the past
few weeks are showing net returns
to the grower of from $2.18 to $4.25
per head. Wool sales have aver
aged about $1.45 per head. Can
any industry operating on an in
come of 25 to 50 percent of Its over
head expense long survive? Our
fat lamb markets are demoralized.
Thousands of feeder lambs will
soon be clamoring for a market.
Bills and ntes long overdue will
force liquidation of all surplus
9tock. All this in the 'face of a
supposedly overproduction of sheep
and lambs. But, is there an over
production? It is true that sheep in the Uni
ted States have increased from 36
millions to 51 millions in the last
10 years. But In spite of that, gov
ernment records show that three-
fourths of all lamb eaten in the
United States is consumed in New
England states and on the Pacific
coast In other words, 16 percent of
area of our nation is consuming 75
percent of this lamb. Is It not time
for us to find out what the other
84 per cent of the country is using
for a meat diet? Only 4.2 percent
of our present meat diet is lamb.
A few startling facts like these
would lead us to believe that the
sheep industry is suffering from
under consumption rather than ov
er production.
The National Wool Growers sup
ported by the twelve western state
associations, believing that if better
prices are to be received for their
lambs, consumption of lamb meat
must be increased, and if consump
tion of lamb is Increased, there is
no one who will do the job except
the sheepmen and associated busi
nesses. They, therefore, have de
vised a plan which they believe is
workable and practicable. This
plan Is to be presented at the meet
ing Monday by leaders of national
and state associations for consider
ation of alT those Interested In the
more profitable marketing of lamb.
If you are one of those wonder
ing what your lambs are going to
bring this year, you will find the
most profitable half-day you can
spend. You honestly can't afford to
miss this meeting.

LAMB MEETING
SET FOR JULY 6
"Eat More Lamb" Campaign On;
Real Cause of Low Prices
Hill be Given.
The most important series of
meetings which sheep men have
yet been privileged to attend will
shortly be held in this section, ac
cording to J. G. Barratt of Heppner,
county chairman of the Morrow
county "Eat More Lamb" club.
These meetings are scheduled for
the purpose of discussing the prob
lems in connection with the profit
able marketing of lambs. Unsatis
factory lamb prices to the producer
during the past two years make this
topic of keen interest to sheep men,
and it is expected that a large at
tendance will turn out to these
meetings.
The meetings scheduled in this
vicinity are: Heppner, July 6, 1:30
p. m., Elks' Temple; Fossil, July 7,
1:30 p. m., District Court room;
Shaniko, July 8, 1:30 p. m.
It is announced that startling
facts and figures will be presented
in graphic form, showing the true
causes of depressed lamb prices.
The problem has been receiving the
arnest study and analysis of lead
ers in the sheep industry, both
state and national. Many of these
leaders will be present at these
meetings, among which it is expect
ed that Mr. Hagenbarth, president
of the National Wool Growers' as
sociation, and Mr. Ballard, county
agent leader for Oregon, will be
present. Erie Racey, representing
the National Wool Growers' asso
ciation, will present a series of
graphically ilustrated charts in ex
planation of the carefully worked
out plans for permanently solving
the problems in connection with low
lamb prices.
The "Eat More Lamb" club move
ment is nation-wide in its aspects
and the work is already well under
way. Very definite results are al
ready visible in direct response to
the movement, according to Mr.
Racey. It is announced that mer
chants, bankers or others interested
in the future prosperity of the
sheep industry are welcom to these
meetings, as well as those directly
running sheep and producing
lambs.
In addition to J. G. Barratt of
Heppner, who is chairman, the
Morrow county committee is com
posed of Roy Neil, Echo, Ingaard
Skobo, Boardman, Harlan McCur
dy, lone, Clyde Wright, Heppner,
and Charles W. Smith, Heppner.
BUSINESS HOUSES WILL BE
CLOSED JULY 4TH.
Heppner business houses, in
cluding groceries, dry goods,
hardware, etc., will be closed all
day on Saturday, July 4th. These
places of business will be open
Friday evening, and our local peo
ple should keep this announce
ment In mind and make their
purchases accordingly.
This arrangement has been en
tered Into unanimously by the
merchants of the city.

Small Amount Needed
To Insure Chautauqua
"If subscriptions to the amount
of $50.00 or $60.00 more can be ob
tained, the directors will feel that
they can announce a Chautauqua
for next year," says S. E. Notson,
president of the Morrow County
Chautauqua association. The sub
scriptions have exceeded the expec
tations of the most enthusiastic,
but a little more is needed to satis
fy the directors that it is perfectly
safe to announce the next year's
Chautauqua.
If there are any persons who de
sire to help on this matter, they
may find a list at the postoffice in
the hands of W. W. Smead, one
with Johnny Hiatt, one at S. E. Not-
l-son's office, and one at the store of
W. F. Barnett & Co. at Lexington.
If preferred, subscriptions may be
paid in monthly installments, some
having expressed a desire to pay
that way.
Seriously Injured When
Struck by Hay Lifter
Delbert Wright was seriously in
jured Monday morning at the Rhea
creek ranch of Wright brothers and
for a time it was hard to determine
just what the outcome might be.
The hay derrick and lifter had
just been moved from another part
of the field, and upon being set up,
a trial was made to ascertain if it
was in working order. Delbert was
standing under the lifter or basket
when the team suddenly backed up
and the basket was released from
the top of the derrick, some 18 or
20 feet in the air. Mr. Wright glimp
sed the rig coming down but did
not have time to get out of the way.
though he attempted to jump for
ward. The basket which weighs
near 500 pounds, caught him first
on the back of the head, giving him
a bad scalp wound and knocking
him out completely. He received
other injuries about the body, arms
and legs, and suffered some internal
hurts also.
An ambulance was called from
Heppner nad R. C. Phelps rushed
the Injured man to Morrow Gener
al hospital where he was immedi
ately given medical attention. Mr.
Wright laid in an unconscious con
dition for many hours, but was fin
ally revived. X-ray pictures were
taken and it was found he had re
ceived no fractures but it could not
be determined how serious the in
ternal Injuries might be. The last
reports from the hospital indicate
that he is doing well, and unless un
forseen complications arise, he will
be out of the hospital in due course
of time.
It seemed rather miraculous that
Mr. Wright was not killed instant
ly when the heay basket struck him,
but a couple of flat iron skids on
either side of the lift struck the
ground in such a way as to lessen
the force of the impact with his
body.

A DAY
ON MAIN
Just thinking how grand it would
be to stretch the canvas at Garrl-
gues Opera House and have a
dance. . . . Maybe Mrs. Herb, Julia,
or some of the girls would play us
a two-step. . . . And Mack Clark
tells us he can still dance, but just
doesn't think about it so often. . . .
There comes Bruce Kelley astride
that old black horse, but guess he's
not coming for Christian Endeavor
No, this is not Sunday. . . . Dick
Wells, the shaver, is acting like he
intends to go fishing and Leonard
Schwarz is telling about the big
one which got away from him last
Sunday. . . . There goes a pretty
young thing in a coupe. If I were
younger it would be her fault If
she rode alone. . . . Joe Rector
doesn't ride horseback anymore.
. . . Johnny Kilkenny waving his
hands and shouting to friends and
Mike Kenny looking young enough
to be a brother to his eldest son.
Bob Thompson, fat and good natur
ed, preaching optimism to a friend
and Arthur McAtee polishing up the
glasses on his back bar. . . . Tom
Humphries pushing a broom In
front of his druggery and Sam
Hughes carts a crate or two of ber
ries Inside. . . . There comes two
young girls horseback, clad In over
alls and shirt and a tin llzzy whirls
the coiner with two hatless youths
clinging to the cushions. . . . Leon
Briggs, In the family carryall, shov
es out of Court onto Main. . . . Fat
women and children seeking grocer
ies and candy. . . , Booted gentry
seeking eating houses and Frank
Gilliam, briar between teeth, heads
down Main. . . . Guess I'll take
'round the corner.
