HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, June 16, 1932 Subscription $2.00 a Year WtWtitt GUI HEAD TICKET AGAIN Republicans Nominate at Chicago Today; Presi dent Accepts. PLATFORM ADOPTED Minority Report on Repeal Eight eenth Amendment Defeated and People to Decide is Plank. Herbert Clark Hoover and Char . les G. Curtis, nominees for presi ident and vice president, will suc ceed themselves In office If action of the republican national conven tion In Chicago today receives the endorsement of the majority of the electorate at the general election In November. President Hoover was notified of his renomination by wire immediately after he was cho sen on the first ballot, and a return wire of acceptance was read. Cur tis received the vice-presidential nomination on the first ballot in the face of a boom started for Han ford McNider, former commander of the American Legion, now U. S. ambassador to Canada. The convention took up the nom ination of president and vice-president today following completion of endorsement of the platform planks, featured by a hot debate between the wet3 and drys over the plank asking that vote on the 18th amend ment be referred to the people In constitutional conventions. The wets, not satisfied with the plank, were Instrumental in getting a mi nority repoTt returned to the con vention from the committee, which laid the subject open for hot de bate. The convention, however, turned down the wets' proposal of outright repeal of the amendment which would leave the matter of prohibition wholly up to the Indi vidual states. Other planks in the platform, in cluding support for the present farm marketing machinery, were accepted as reported from the com mittee. WILL ASK RE-ELECTION. As the time draws near for the annual school meeting, there has been some interest manifested with regard to those who may be seek ing places on the school board. So far this paper has not been author ized to speak for any except Garnet Barratt and Vawter Crawford, who hold respectively the places of di rector and clerk. Mr. Baratt was elected to the short term last year, serving out the unexpired term of C. L. Sweek, resigned, and he has been persuaded to make the race again, this time for the three-year term. Crawford is understood to be running for re-election as clerk. There appears on the surface some keen interest in the affairs of School District No. 1, and the annual meeting on Monday should be the time when the patrons and taxpayers should get together, hear the reports and discuss affairs per taining to the welfare of the school. This paper would have been glad to mention any other prospective candidates had we been "wised up," but not being so informed, cannot say further. However, we surmise that other names will be proposed when that order of business is reached at the annual meeting. CAR WRECKS LIGHT POLE.

Remits: Rufus-Blalock 7 at Heppner 3; Fos sil 6 at Arlington 2, lone at Condon. Where Teams Flay Next Sunday: lone at Heppner, Rufus-Blalock at Fossil, Condon at Arlington. While Heppner was busy falling into the cellar with Rufus-Blalock Sunday, Fossil got hot and gave the Arlington league-leaders their first taste of defeat for the season, but Arlington with seven wins and one defeat has almost a cinch hold on the pennant They have yet to meet Condon and lone again, and they could only drop their hold on the pennant by losing both games and one of the second teams win ning its remaining games. The last league game at home will be played against lone next Sunday. Heppner succeeded in trouncing the boys from the neigh boring town in the first game, but the records of tho two teams since gives indication that this should be anybody's game. It is expected the lone boys will be accompanied by a strong bunch of supporters who will be anxious for vindication. The Heppner-Blalock fray Sun day was not as one-sided as the score would indicate, and on earned runs Heppner had the game won 3-2. Woodward and Phifer about evenly divided pitching honors, and but for a few costly bobbles at crit ical moments the tale would have been different. Harold Gentry was the hard-luck player of the bunch, being heavily bombarded at short, and having trouble with his throws, which accounted for four Blalock scores. Roy Gentry started the Heppner scoring as lead-off in the first inn ing. He singled, advanced on Rob ertson's hit following, and scored on Woodward's hit after Harold Gentry had struck ut. In the next inning with one away, Crawford made a safety at first on an infield hit, stole second and third and scored on a wild pitch. The last score came in the fourth inning, when with two away Hayes singled and Roy Gentry, who took his po sition on first base, stole second and scored on Crawford's two-bagger. After making three runs in the second inning, Rufus-Blulack step ped into the lead again with one more in the fifth, and came through for three more in the eighth, for their total of seven.

VISITS OLD FRIEND. E. E. Elliott, manager Northwest Teachers agency of Portland and old-time friend of W. P. Mahoney, was In the city yesterday and took time off from business for a chat with his old friend.

Netted $4.85 On Lamb Shipment East What is considered an exception ally good lamb sale In the face of general commodity trends was re ported to have been made by Krebs Bros, of Cecil on the St. Paul mar ket June 7. Their sale netted them $4.85 per head, It was reported. A news bulletin of the commis sion brokers contains the following information corcerning the sale: Krebs Bros, loaded five double deck cars of lambs at Cecil on June 2, the shipment arriving at So. St. Paul June 6, and was sold the fol lowing day, being the first western lambs of the season. Of these 1166 head averaged 79 pounds and brought $7 a hundred pounds, 100 head averaged 71 pounds and brought $5.50. The lambs were weighed at Cecil with a good fill and showed a shrink of one pound per head over the scales at St. Paul. The Krebs lambs were rated as extra choice. GROW YOUR MEAT BEING SUGGESTED Winter Food Supply Easily Grown From Cheap Feed and Stock Says H. A. Lindgren. While much has been said and written about growing next winter's food In this summer's gardens, an equally attractive opportunity ex ists this year for getting next win ter's meat supply at the most reas onable price in decades, says H. A. Lindgren, livestock specialist of the state college extension service. "Hogs are cheap and so Is grain," says Lindgren, "A weaner pig fed from now till fall on such feeds as are available on the farm can be made Into 125 to 150 pounds of meat for next winter's use. It can be cured as hams and bacon, made Into sausage, dry salted, or canned. "Pigs can be fattened on pasture with a little grain. Table scraps also make good hog feed. Under conditions such as we are now ex periencing one can even raise a hog in a small pen, supplying it with green grass, table scraps, and a few pounds of grain daily. "Grass is plentiful at this time. Why not fatten a calf, cow, or steer on grass and corn, and can the pro duct for next winter's use? Beef put up In that form is excellent and will fit in well with the garden pro ducts now being raised by many tamllies In our state. "Mutton and lamb can be cured and smoked In much the same way tnat we prepare hams and bacon The product is delicious and will add a variety which will be greatly appreciated. Federal bulletins on methods of preparing these products are avall- tble through the local county ag ricultural agent's office without cost. Where no agent is employed one may write the animal husband ry department of Oregon State col lege, Corvallis, for the bulletins. CASE CONTINUED. On arraignment and plea of not guilty, the case of State of Oregon vs. Jack Harper and Jack LaLonde for larceny of calves, was continued until the December term of circuit court on order of Judge Sweek at the June term of court Monday. The indictment in this case was the only one returned by the grand Jury for the June term. Clark Hoover Rules Governing Forest Given for 1932 Season F. F. Wehmeyer, District Ranger on the Heppner district of the Uma tilla Forest, desires it made known that after July 1 certain restrictions on the use of national forest lands will be in effect These restrictions are designed to prevent the occur rence of forest fires due to careless ness of Forest users arid have been made necessary because of the in crease In recent years in the num ber of such fires.

'Spouts Here and There Over County Monday As a result of the heat wave of Sunday and Monday a number of waterspouts have been reported from over the county. The one causing the greatest damage, so far as reported at Heppner struck at the head of Sand Hollow Mon day evening, the force of the down pour striking over the ranches of Ray Drake and Harry Turner. Gullies and ditches were cut in the fields and damage was extreme to gardens and much grain. The dry creek bed of Sand Hollow was sud denly transformed Into a raging torrent of muddy water, rocks and gravel washed into the roads at various places and the water reached a depth of ten feet or more down the gulch. Good showers prevailed over the county, the rain being especially heavy at the head of Blackhorse, which was swelled to large propor tions by the time it reached Lex- ngton, but no damage was suf fered. Dry Fork and Democrat gulch on the west side of the coun ty were also well filled with water, the storm coming in from that di rection. A portion of Eight Mile also had heavy rain, all to the ben efit of the maturing crops. Weath er conditions have been much cool er since the storm of thunder and rain. PLANS PREPARED FOR P0ULTRYMEN Three New Bulletins Give Details For Constructing Practical Farm Structures. Despite low egg prices, many Or egon poultrymen are taking advan tage of equally low lumber prices to improve their poultry plants and get them in shape for more efficient production for the better times be lieved to follow. To meet the demand for approved plans for poultry construction in this state, the Oregon State college extension service has just issued a series of three bulletins prepared by the poultry and agricultural en gineering departments of the col lege which contain descriptions, bills of materials and detailed plans for constructing range houses, brooder houses and Insulated egg rooms. "Building Plans and Bill of Ma terials for O.S.C. Portable Brooder House" is the title of extension bul letin No. 446 by A. G. Lunn, head of the poultry department of the ex periment station. The house des cribed has been used successfully on the college poultry farm. It is built on runners so it may be moved at least once for each lot of chicks brooded. 'O.S.C. Range House" is the name of the second of the series, exten sion bulletin No. 442. This range house has been in general use for several years and has proved satis factory as a means of rearing pul lets to maturity under sanitary and fresh-air conditions, says Profess ors Lunn and W. J. Gilmore who are the authors. "How to Construct an Insulated Storage Room" is the title of the third bulletin, No. 445, by F. E. Price and A. G. Lunn. Plans for this type of building were developed to meet the situation reportetd by cooperative and private egg deal ers to the effect that producers were losing large sums every summer from off -grade eggs because of im proper farm storage after first class eggs were produced by high quality flocks. The plans given in this bulletin will enable a farmer to build a room that will Insure ex cellent storage for his eggs at a cost of materials of $15 to $40, de pending on whether it is built as a separate building or as a room in an existing one. These bulletins may be had free from county agents or the college direct. GRAIN GROWERS ELECT. Henry Smouse, retiring pesident of Morrow County Grain growers, in the city today, reported the elec tion of Bert Johnson of lone as president for the ensuing year, and reelection of George Peck and N.

I0NE JENNIE E. MCMURRAY. The Fred Pettyjohn home just be low lone on Willow creek was the scene of a pretty home wedding Wednesday, June 8, when Miss Ha zel Rieta Pettyjohn, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Pettyjohn, became the bride of Jack Hynd, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hynd of Cecil. The officiating clergyman was Joel R. Benton of the Church of Christ, Heppner. Under the skilled hands of Mrs. Grover Curtis of Arlington who had full charge of the decorations, the large, roomy porch which extends around three sides of the Petty john home, was converted into a veritable bower of roses, and amid the beautiful flowers and in the presence of more than fifty guests the marriage vows were given, the Rev. Mr. Benton using the ring cer emony. The bride wore a gown of white crepe and carried a bouquet of rose buds and sweet peas. The bridal veil was held in place by a head band of orange blossoms. Her attendant was her cousin, Miss Beulah Pettyjohn. She wore pink crepe and carried white roses. The groom's man was Mr. Hynd's cous in, Mr. Ewing Hynd of Ukiah. Mrs. Hynd is a charming young lady. She graduated from the high school at lone with the class of 1932. Mr. Hynd is a student of avia tion, being a graduate of a Port land school. Late In the afternoon of their wedding day Mr. and Mrs. Hynd departed on a two weeks' honeymoon trip to Portland and the coast. During the summer they will make their home at Granite, and Mr. Hynd will superintend the several bands of sheep which Mr. Hynd, Sr., will have on the moun tain range. Later they will make their home on one of the Hynd ranches. . Peter Timm and George Timm, wheat farmers of this district, mo tored to Pendleton Saturday, re turning Sunday. L. L. Funk, wife and daughter, returned the first of the week to their home at Wasco. Mr. Funk had been here getting out car load shipments of the dirt which is used In road building. The Funks are former residents of our city and while at their camp below town took time to call on old neighbors and friends and enjoyed the straw berry "feed" at Masonic hall Satur day night.

Those from a (.Continued on Page Six) NEW SPRAY ROUTE 10 BE OPEN S Grading of Sector Nearly Complete; Gravelling Job Comes Next. MEETINGS REPORTED River Transportation and Resolu tion to Railroads Moves for Lower Rates; Visit Pendleton. Appreciation by the U. S. bureau of public roads of the cooperation given by Morrow county in getting its secondary money for the next two years expended on the Hepp-ner-Spray road was expressed to the Heppner Lions club Monday by C. G. Norris, resident engineer in charge of the work of the bureau on this road. Mr. Norris said work of gravelling the new grade con structed last year will probably start about July 1, if appropria tions are received as scheduled. The estimate on grading calls for the expenditure of $50,000. The new grade which connects the stretch of ,macadam up Chapin creek with another stretch of ma cadam up Haystack creek In Wheeler county to the John Day highway, 13 practically completed, with work of completing the road cushion now in process. Mr. Nor ris estimated that the grade would be open for travel in two weeks. Visitors Present. Mr. Norris contributed to the club program as a guest Other guests present who added spice to the program were C. L. Sweek, cir cuit judge and former president of the Lions club; F. A. McMahon, state policeman; M. V. Logan, sher iff of Gilliam county, and F. A. Mc Menamin, former Heppner attor ney now practicing in Portland. S. E. Notson reviewed the river transportation meeting held last week in The Dalles, expressing his opinion that while nothing definite came of the meeting, the matter was one of importance to the gen eral public and one on which the people should keep informed. It is inevitable that use of the Columbia river for transportation purposes will be made some day, he said. In line with the discussion of riv er transportation, which is being advocated as a means of lowering transportation rates on farm com modities to tidewater, C. W. Smith, county agent, told of the meeting of eastern Oregon wheatgrowers in Portland last week, from which a resolution emanated asking the railroads to make the intrastate rate effective on all wheat ship ments, whether designated for home or foreign consumption. A differential of several cents a hun dred pounds exists between the In terstate and intrastate rates on wheat, for which there is no very good excuse as the farmers view it, and application of the intrastate rate on all wheat shipments would mean a saving of many thousands . of dollars each year to eastern Ore gon fanners, it was contended. Such a saving would mean a great deal to all residents of the section, and Mr. Smith believed the subject one worthy of consideration by every body. Pendleton Trip Told. Chairman Smith also reported the visitation of local club members to the Pendleton Lions club last Thursday evening. Twelve mem bers of the local club were present, two with their wives, and all were reported to have enjoyed the ex cellent program and warm fellow ship of the neighboring club.

Bauman, Spencer Crawford, Jasper Crawford, W. W. Smead, Paul Marble and Chas. Thomson. HOME FROM SCHOOL.
