LEGICirj PLANS LI
FOR ARMISTICE DAY
Program, Football Game,
Banquet and Dance to
Feature Day.
LYTLE IS SPEAKER
Vale Attorney Is Well Known Ora
tor; Heppner-Hermiston Game
Is Annual Classic
Armistice Day in Heppner will
be fittingly observed with a full
day's program In charge of the
American Legion and auxiliary.- A
program in the morning, the annual
Heppner - Hermlston high school
football clash In the afternoon, a
banquet for legionnaires and la
dies and auxiliary members and es
corts in the evening followed by a
dance, will be the day's attractions.
The patriotic program will be
held at 10 o'clock in the Star thea
ter, with Robert D. Lytle, Vale at
torney, delivering the address. Mr.
Lytle is an orator with wide repu
tation and it is assured he will have
a forceful message. Other numbers
are being arranged by the commit
tee, including musical selections ap
propriate to the occasion.
The football game is slated for
2:30 o'clock In the afternoon, and
promises to be an outstanding
game of the season. Heppner was
defeated in the first game early in
the season, played at Hermiston.
Since then the locals have built in
Btrength, winning from Pilot Rock,
Lexington and Athena, and losing
to the heavy Pendleton team by
the slight margin of 6 to 0. They
expect to give everything they have
in an effort to retaliate their first
defeat at the hands of Hermiston.
This game has become an annual
Armistice Day event In Heppner,
and each year it has been a real
battle between the two schools.
The banquet, to be held at 6 o'
clock, is for all legionnaires and
their ladies, and all auxiliary mem
bers and their escorts. It will be
held in the I. O. O. F. hall, and
there will be no charge. Those who
have attended this Bpecial Armis
tice Day feature in the past will
need no special urging to be on
hand, declares the committee.
The annual Armistice Day ball,
open to the public, will begin at 9
o'clock, and it is expected it will be
held in the Elks hall. Fletcher's
Round-Up orchestra of Pendleton,
well known to local ballroom pa
trons, will provide the music.
All told, the day is expected to
provide much of value and enter
tainment for all who visit the city
that day, and Heppner post extends
an invitation, backed by that of the
entire city, to enjoy the day's fes
tivities. LIKES NEW LOCATION.
W. E. Bullard, former lone phar
macist, wrtios as follows from Gold
Beach, where the family now make
their home: "Enclosed find my
check for $2 for which please send
me your paper for one year. We
all like our new location very much.
We have had a big tourist season
this summer. A substantial in
crease over last season in spite of
the depression. Our new bridge
across the mouth of the Rogue riv
er will be completed in January.
The contractor is ahead of schedule,
we are told. George Reeves, the
contractor who built your high
school gymnasium, has been here
all summer, employed on the bridge.
During the three days Labor Day
celebration, a '49 affair, George put
on a very clever stunt with a cou
ple of burros and a Swede assistant
With whiskers grown for weeks for
the occasion, he portrayed an old
time prospector, and he surely put
on a good show. One day last week
it rained 4.1 inches in 22 hours. The
old-timers said it seemed like
old times. A couple of weeks ago,
two other members of the chamber
of commerce and myself went as
delegatets to Newport to organize
an Oregon -Coast Highway associa
tion . We traveled the entire dis
tance the coast route. Part of the
way was old-time country roads,
one-way traffic. As much of the
new highway as was finished, is a
wonderful highway and scenery be
yond compare. We see the Fergu
sons (Mr.' and Mrs. O. T. Fergu
son) quite often and enjoy talking
over 'Morrow county affairs with
them.
COBLANTZ FIRE PUT OUT.
Fire in the Jack Coblantz home
In south Heppner at noon yester
day was quickly extinguished with
chemicals from the fire truck, with
slight damage resulting. The fire
started at the connection of a
stove pipe with the flue, catching
hte wall paper adjacent. Quick re
sponse with the fire truck resulted
In putting the Are out with little
property loss.
A wood cutting bee took place at
the rear of the Christian church
Monday, when some eight or ten
male members gathered to reduce
the big pile of black pine poles to
the prpocr size for furnace and
stove use. Ladles of the. church
prepared and served an excellent
dinner at the noon hour to the
workers who, by evening, had cut
out some six cords and piled it up.
The balance of the pile was handled
by Lee Slocum today.
JOBLESS RELIEF
DRIVE ON TODAY
Central Committee to Aid Unem
ployed Working With 12 Organ
izations to Obtain Supplies.
Money, food' and clothing with
which to provide relief for the un
employed in the city this winter, is
the object of a drive being con
ducted today by 12 organizations
of the city in cooperation with the
central committee for unemploy
ment relief. It was the hope of the
central committee that the response
would be generous so that the drive
might be put across in the one day.
But should it be deemed necessary,
further effort will be made.
Usable articles of clothing, food
of any kind, and money in any
amount are being sought by the
committee, with assurance that
they will be put to good use and
will not be wasted. The corner
storeroom of the Case apartment
building will be the dispensing cen
ter where the food and clothing
will be sorted and properly taken
care of.
For the purpose of solicitation
the city was divided into 12 dis
tricts each of which is to be solicit
ed in charge of one of the 12 or
ganizations cooperating with the
central committee. Advance word
of the drive was given early in the
week by handbills which asked res
idents to take stock of their world
ly goods for the purpose of ascer
taining what and how much they
might divide with those unfortun
ates who may be out of employment
this winter, many through no fault
of their own, it is believed by those
in charge of the relief work.
The committee is confident that
the response will be such that there
will be little need of anyone going
hungry or cold this winter, and
they desire that all needy cases be
brought promptly to their attention,
as well as any cases where relief is
provided other than through the
central committee, to eliminate du
plication of efforts.
M. L. Case, Mrs. E. L. Bucknum.
Mrs. J. W Beamer, Mrs Olive Frye
and Garnet Barratt compose the
central committee

Wheat Market Shows Net
Gain of 7'2 to 8 Cents
Prices for local wheat resumed
their upward march all during the
week consistently reaching new
season highs every day, reports the
Portland Grain exchange.
The increase in values has been
heartily welcomed by bankers and
business men of the Pacific' North
west as well as by holders thruout
the interior, who appreciate the In
crease of purchasing power repre
sented by the advance.
Present price levels eliminate
Pacific Northwest wheat from ex
port competition; making our
prices at least 12c a bushel over
Canadian and Argentine wheat
Considerable business was worked
out of Vancouver, B. C, during the
week at about this basis. The only
business reported in local wheat to
be placed afloat was about 2,000
tons for California.
There is a great difference in
opinion regarding future market
trend, as it is pointed out that the
present local scramble for wheat is
a temporary condition and prices
are ail ready out of line; however,
there is a decided change in world
sentiment regarding wheat values
and the picture may be prettier
than anticipated.
North America may be the source
of supply for importing countries
for the next few months and the de
sirable quality of our wheat may
bring some business that is not yet
even anticipated.
Portland futures for the week
show net gains of 7c for the De
cember delivery and 8c per bushel
for May.
Portland, Astoria and Longview
visible supply, 5,495,680 bushels.

PENDLETON WINS
HARD GAME, 6-0
Smaller Heppner Lads Give Oppon
ents Tough Battle and Win
Moral Victory.
Outnumbered, outweighed, possi
bly outplayed but in no manner out
fought, eleven gridiron warriors of
Heppner high school were nosed
out, 6-0, by 23 Pendleton high hus
kies on Rodeo field Saturday after
noon. Holding their heavy and nu
merous opponents to such a' low
score can be said naught but a
moral victory for Heppner.
Just opposite of what might be
expected by comparison of the team
sizes, Pendleton excelled in the
passing department, and Heppner
in the line plunging department of
the game. Pendleton's lone touch
down was made on a pass from
Gilchrist to Scrivner and a twenty
yard run at the end of which Gen
try, Heppner safety, hit the ball
carrier and rolled him across the
line.
Once before Pendleton put the
ball across the goal line, only to be
called back on an off-side penalty.
While fighting on the defensive
most of the game, Heppner's line
proved practcially impregnable to
their heavier opponents, who re
sorted to the air for most of their
gains. On the other hand the
Heppner boys made most or their
yardage through the Pendelton line.
On one ocasion Heppner threatened
the Pendleton goal after a series of
first downs which carried the ball
from deep in their own territory
inside the Pendleton twenty-yard
line, before it was finally lost on
downs.
Eleven Heppner players, entitled
to equal credit for the spirit they
displayed, played the entire game
with the exception of one substi
tution in the last few minutes of
play when Coach Shurman sent
Phelan into the game to relieve
Langdon, for the purpose of giving
instructions. Heppner then open
ed up a passing attack but to no
avail.
Pendleton, on the other hand,
used practically Its entire squad of
23 men, making substitutions free
ly, many of which were necessary
to relieve Injured men.
Heppner s line-up: Wrex Lang
don, left end, Ralph Forgery, left
tackle; Ted McMurdo, left guard;
Jimmie Furlong,- center; Howard
Ayers, right guard; Lyle Cowdry,
right tackle; M. Morgan, right end;
Roy Gentry, quarterback; Marcel
Jones, fullback; Floyd Jones and
Curtis Thomson, halfbacks.
Pendleton's line-up: Williams
and Bender, ends; Geist and Al
bers, tackles; . Winn and Moore,
guards; Warren, center; Gilchrist
and Scrivner, halves; Lehman,
quarter, and Roberts, full.
Ingles of Lexington was referee.
Hoot Gibson to Visit Here
To See Swaggart Horses
Hoot Gibson rode to movie fame
on Palomina, a creamoline stallion
from the B." F. Swaggart farm
north of Lexington. Palomina is
dead but not forgotten. Now, Gib
son, who finds his chief interest in
this world working with horses, has
started a large dude ranch down
near Hollywood, the movie center.
He's coming back to Morrow coun
ty to get creamolines from Mr.
Swaggart to stock the farm.
' I expect Hoot may drop in on
me any time now," Mr. Swaggart
said when in town Monday. "If we
deal, Hoot says he may show the
creamolines clear around the
world."
Hoot wrote Mr. Swaggart that
polo is coming back fast He thinks
the creamolines make fine polo
ponies. That adds to his Interest in
Mr. Swaggart's stock, the only
purebred creamoline horses, a
strain developed by Mr. Swaggart
himself through fifty years of
breeding.
School Budget Shows
More Than 25 Pet. Cut
School District No. One, by its
board of directors and the budget
committee, prepared the budget for
1931-1932 at a meeting held last eve
ning, and the time fixed for holding
the election will be Friday after
noon, November 2"th.
The meeting was interesting
from the standpoint of tax reduc
tion, a subject discussed much of
late, and there was a determina
tion to cut every item to the bone
and save just as much expense to
the taxpayers of the district as pos
sible, but yet retain the efficiency
of the school. The result was a
reduction of nearly $9000 over last
year's budget, and a saving of more
than 25 per cent. The budget will
be published next week.

LEXINGTON NEWS
By MRS. HARRY DUVALL.
Plans for the 1931 Christmas seal
sale are being made, and the local
chairmen for the several commun
ities of Morrow county have been
appointed, according to Edwin In
gles, chairman of the 1931 seal sale
for the Morrow County Public
Health association. The associa
tion is affiliated with the Oregon
Tuberculosis association and was
organized in 1930. It is open to
every Morrow county citizen work
ing in every part, of the county. It
is cooperating with public officials
and school authorities in carrying
on health services during the per
iod that the county is without a
health nurse, and in working for
reestablishment of the nursing ser
vice. The quota set for the sale in this
county is 25,000 seals. Last year
21,200 seals were sold, and the net
proceeds derived from them was
$84.80. If the per capita sale Is
more than five for the county a
greater percentage of the proceeds
are kept in the county for local
needs. Morrow county nearly reach
ed this goal last year with a per
capita sale of 4 1-2 seals for the
4900 people in the county. During
the ensuing year the association
plans to emphasize the importance
of health for the pre-school child
and the primary children by ar
ranging for clinics and forms of
health supervision that will elim
inate all the handicaps of poor
health that children experience in
their early years at school.

At Pacific Exposition
Rascal, son of White Marquis, the
six months old English bull pup
belonging to Al Rankin, Heppner
hotel manager, gave a good ac
count of himself when cxhibted at
the kennel show In the Pacific In
ternational Livestock exposition at
Portland last week. He won blue
ribbons each In the Junior puppy
and Pacific Coast bred classes and
placed second in the novice class.
Mr. Rankin is quite proud of the
puppy's showing, considering the
fact that he had passed the eligible
age limit of six months by just one
day when entered in the show.
Mr. Rankin said the kennel show
was quite largely attended, and
that a great variety of breeds was
displayed. White Marquis, Ras
cal's sire, was there and took the
gold medal sweepstakes as well as
a green ribbon special award, he
said.

PROCLAMATION.
Whereas, it has been called to our
attention by Heppner Unit, Ameri

of November 11-17 has been desig
nated as National Education Week,
and, whereas It seems fitting to
pause to consider the benefits of
the splendid opportunities for edu
cation now enjoyed by the children
of our country; therefore, It is our
pleasure to dedicate this week to
the cause of education and urge pa
trons to visit the schools and thus
show their interest and cooperation.
