Subscription $2.00 a Year Ifeppei: 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. Collision of Truck" and Car Brings Injuries An accident on Oregon-Washington highway about three miles east of Heppner on Sunday afternoon resulted in Ireta Taylor, daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Taylor of this city, receiving a bad scalp wound.

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.

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.

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.

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. Heppner Rodeo Dates Set for Sept. 3, 4 and 5 Dates for the Heppner Rodeo this year are September 3-4-5, prelimin ary arrangements for staging the show having been started with an nouncement by W. W.
