HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 1, 1932. PAGE THREE CO appginig M. J. Devln and daughter, Mrs. Dessa Holfstetter, and Otillia re turned the first of the week from a motor trip which took them to Cul-de-Sac, Idaho, and points In Wash ington. At Cul-de-Sac they visited at the home of M. N. Devln, brother of Mr. Devln, whom he had not seen for many years, and who has been an invalid for some time. They also visited relatives at Clarkaton and Asotin, Wash. Mrs. Hoffstet ter expects to return to Eugene for the beginning of the school year to take work in the education depart ment James TrLumley, high school in structor who has been spending the summer hauling wood from the mountains, had the misfortune Tuesday evening of a spindle break ing on a front wheel of his truck while on his way down with a load. The accident, near the Monahan ranch on Willow creek, other than letting the axle on the one side to go down into the dirt and damaging a fender and headlight, did not re sult in injury to the driver or ser ious damage to the truck. Mr. and Mrs. M. R. Morgan, their son Milton, and Norton Lundell, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Lundell, all of lone, passed through Hepp ner Monday, being on their way to visit the old home of Mr. Morgan in Missouri On the way going they will also visit relatives in Kansas. They will return through Califor nia and expect to be absent for a month. It has been 50 years since Mr. Morgan left the old home in Missouri. Robert Jones of the Heppner Transfer company. Is off the job this week and getting about by the use of crutches, the result of hav ing the weight of a 50-gallon barrel of vinegar drop on his right foot Fortunately the arch of the foot was not broken, though the member is mighty sore and it will be several days before he will be able to dis card the crutches. He is being re lieved by Bud Benton. Mr. and Mrs. Russell E. Pratt re turned home yesterday evening from their vacation which took them on a motor trip to Salem and as far south as Zane Grey's camp on the Rogue river, near where they enjoyed fishing. While Mr. Pratt was absent from his duties as local manager of the Shell Oil company, Lawrence Stevenson, for mer Heppner boy, has been doing relief duty here. Guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James T. Lumley over Sunday were Mr. Lumley's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Lumley, Mrs. Gene Heath and daughter Fay of Mukll teo, Wash., and Mr. Lumley's broth er, Ellsworth, wife and son Jack, of Great Falls, Mont, to which point Mr. Lumley was returning to as sume his position as instructor in the Great Falls schools. Mrs. W. T. Crowe and little niece, Betty Crowe, who have been visit ing at the home of Mrs. Crowe's parents, Judge and Mrs. W. T. Campbell, and with other relatives in the county for the past six weeks, departed for her home at Jaffray, B. C, Tuesday. Judge and Mrs. Campbell took them as far as Walla Walla and they took the stage from there. Dr. N. E. Winnard and daughter, Miss Charlotte Winnard, visited over Monday with Heppner friends, being on their way home to Eugene from a motor trip. The Winnards lived at Heppner from 1905 to 1919 when they moved to Eugene, and have many warm friends made during their residence here. Dr. Winnard now practices at Eugene. Harlan Devln who enjoyed a week's vacation from his duties at the MacMarr store with his family at the home of his . sister, Mrs. Adolph Hayden at Stanfleld, was accompanied home by Mr. and Mrs. Hayden the first of the week, who visited at the home of Mrs. Hay den's parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Devln. Geo. Hays, Mrs. Sam Rothrock and Edw. L. Hays were relatives of the late Harry Hays coming over from Pendleton Wednesday to at tend the funeral services at Elks temple. Grub . . Cal Spencer way The women of Berkshire County, Massachusetts, are getting to be about the best cooks I know of any where. And that is all on account of my neighbor, Cal Spencer. After Cal's wife died, a couple of years ago, he went into the kitchen himself and made such good bread and piea and doughnuts that his daughter encouraged him to show them at the West Stockbrldge Grange Fair. Cal did, and he walk ed off with first prize in five or six classes. This year he is going to send sam ples of his culinary products to the Berkshire County Fair at Great Barrington, and the farm women of the county are determined not to let him get away with any blue rib bons. As a result, Berkshire Coun ty farmers are getting a chance to sample some of the best pies and doughnuts a man ever put a tooth In. Smokers lost last sanctum One effect of the emancipation of women has been to leave mere man with very few places to go where he can enjoy the society of his own sex without feminine invasion. The saloon used to be such a ref uge, but they tell me that the speak easies, in the big cities at least, have as many women patrons as man. They still don't let women into Ma sonic and other lodges, but most of the railroads are finding it impossi ble to keep them out of the smok ing cars. I traveled from New York to Washington a short time ago and found that the so-called "club car," formerly an exclusively male sanc tum, had put in a lot of fancy sofas and doodads for the benefit of wo men sm6kers. I see that the Santa Fe railroad has put on a special smoker for wo men. If the girls want to smoke, they ought to have a place for it where they wouldn't get in the men's way. Figure man, oh man I suppose everybody realizes that the figure of the average American man is not in the least like that of the ancient Greek gods, whose stat ues have been preserved from an tiquity. But is was something of a shock to me to see the spindle shanked, pot-bellied plaster model in the American Museum of Natur al History which represents the av erage young American male of to day. Museum officials took the average measurements of 100,000 American soldiers on their return from the World War, and have made a figure which, probably, exactly represents the typical American man of twenty-three or twenty-four. From an artistic point of view, he is nothing pretty to look at He carries too much stomach and not enough legs to harmonize with the classical ideal of masculine beauty. Perhaps, in another ten thousand years our artistic standards will have changed. Perhaps, too, after ten thousand years of mechanical locomotion we won't need any legs at all. Amazing Olympic receipts The most amazing statement I have seen in print in years Is that the Olympic Games Committee has enough money on hand from admis sion receipts to pay back the mil lion dollars which the state of Cali fornia lent in 1927 to finance the preparations for the great interna tional athletic tournament. I do not remember ever having heard of a state or a government getting back any money that It had PENDLETON IE Sept. S, 9, IO ROUND TRIP FARES $2? ROUND-TRIP Good In coaches only.

It all goes to show that California is a wonderful state, and that there are still some sports-loving people with money left in the world. Barometer .... suffering Evangeline Booth says things are getting better. She ought to know. She is the head of the ope organi zation in the world that Is closest to human suffering. That is the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army reaches down to the lowest strata of hu manity. It deals with human beings as individuals in trouble. Its offi cers know better than anyone else when times are easier. So when Miss Booth says that things are getting better, I, personally, would place more reliance upon her re port than on those of all the econ omists and statisticians in the world. The demands upon the Sal vation Army for help are an accu rate barometer of human necessi ties. Wrinkles neckwear, skirts The big industries of the future are coming out of the researoh lab oratories every day. The latest is a process of treating cotton, rayon and silk fabrics so that they will not crease or retain permanent wrinkles. That should interest men as well as women, for one of the hereto fore unsolved problems of civiliza tion has been how to wear a neck tie more than three times without getting it all wrinkled up! And every woman who rides in an auto mobile knows how difficult it is to keep her skirt from showing wrinkles. ON OREGON FARMS Boring The old idea that "you get just about what you pay for" didn't hold true this year in the case of a fertilizer trial conducted on the H. C. Compton berry farm near here. In cooperation with the county agent, Mr. Compton tried out five different kinds or amounts of fertilizers on his red raspberries, leaving a check plot untreated for comparison. The results this sea son showed that the kind that cost him next to the highest to apply gave next to the lowest returns, and the sort that cost him next to the lowest gives the largest returns. Corvallia Slow-revolving sprink lers, each covering an area of 75 feet in diameter, are proving an ef ficient "fool-proof" method of irri gating 12 acres of pasture on the Frank Hall place near here. The system was installed as an experi mental method of irrigating rough land with a small water supply. The sprinklers are kept in one spot 12 hours, making it convenient for the man in charge of the dairy herd to change them morning and evening. The agricultural engineer ing department of the state college designed the system. The Dalles Promising results from grass and legume nurseries in Wasco county are reported by G. R. Hyslop of Oregon State college who has inspected nurseries main tained by farmers in this region. For the dry lands crested wheat grass, winter blue grass and sweet clover look best this year. On moist lands brome grass, meadow grass, tall oat grass and the alfalfas are doing best Try a G. T. Want Ad. Bruce Barton writes of "The Master Executive" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled Is tha -perienew of "Tha Man BTobody Xnowi" A MAN COMES OUT The days of Jesus' doubt are set down as forty in number. It is easy to imagine that lonely struggle. He had left a good trade among people who knew him and trusted him and for what? To become a wan dering preacher, talking to folks who never heard of him? And what was he to talk about? How, with his lack of experience, should he find words for his message? Where should he begin? Who would lis ten? Would they listen? Hadn't he perhaps made a mistake? Satan, says the narrative, tempt ed him, saying: "You are hungry; here are stones. Make them into bread." The temptation of mater ial success. It was entirely unnec essary for him to be hungry ever. He had a good trade; he knew well enough that his organizing ability was better than Joseph's. He could build up a far more successful bus iness and acquire comfort and wealth. Why not? Satan comes in again, according to the narrative, taking him up in to a high mountain and showing him the kingdoms of the world. "All these can be yours, if you will only compromise." He could go to Jerusalem and enter the priesthood; that was a sure road to distinction He could do good in that way, and have the satisfaction of success as well. Or he might enter the public ser vice, and seek political leadership. There was plenty of discontent to be capitalized, and he knew the Perfect Service At no time Is the full meaning of "perfect service" more deeply appreciated than when a loved one is called to rest The most modern and com plete facilities, plus the exper ience of this Home, guaran tees you "perfect service."

KELLER, Auctioneer farmer and the laborer; he was one of them; they would listen to him. For forty days and nights the In cessant fight went on, but once set tled, it was settled forever. In the calm of that wilderness there came the majestic conviction which is the very soul of leadership the faith that his spirit was linked with the Eternal, that God had sent him into the world to do a work which no one else could do, which if he ne glected It would never be done. Magnify this temptation scene as greatly as you will; say that God spoke more clearly to Jesus than to any who has even lived. It is true. But to every man of vision the clear Voice speaks; there is no great leadership where there is not a mystic. Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something Inside themselves was superior to circumstances. To choose the sure thing is treason to the soul. . . . If this was not the meaning of the forty days in the wilderness, if Jesus did not have a real tempta tion which might have ended in his going back to the bench at Nazar eth, then the forty days' struggle has no real significance to us. But the temptation was real, and he con quered. The youth who had been a car penter stayed in the wilderness, a man came out Not the full-fledged master who, within the shadow of the cross could cry, "I have over come the world." He had still much growth to make, much prog ress in vision and self-confidence. But the beginnings were there.
