HEPPNER GAZETTE TIMES, HEPPNER, OREGON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 8, 1932. PAGE THREE life Max Schultz was in the city the I first of the week from Freewater j where he is engaged with his fath er, H. A. Schultz. in conducting a lunch counter and pastime. They left Heppner a few months ago and decided upon Freewater as a loca tion in which to establish this bus iness. Max says Freewater fruit growers are not realizing a profit on their crops this year, and that tons of tomatoes and prunes are rotting on the vines and trees which may be had for the picking. Mr. and Mrs. George Shirley of Portland were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Chinn during the Ro deo, returning home Sunday. Mr. Shirley worked in Heppner during the summer the First National Bank building was erected, and he remembered that it was a very hot summer the most of the time he was here. Mrs. Shirley was a teach er in the mission school in Port land attended by Mr. and Mrs. Chinn and is an old time friend of theirs. The Misses Beth Bleakman and Juanita Leathers, local teachers who arrived in the city the end of the week, spent most of the summer in Portland where they attended summer school. They suffered the misfortune of being quarantined for about three weeks because of an outbreak of fever at the resi dence in which they were living, hence did not have a most enjoy able time. C. L. Sweek, circuit judge, took time Saturday to mingle with many of his Morrow county friends at the Rodeo. His duties at Pendleton, the big end of the district, keep "Cal" too busy for him to greet nis Morrow county friends as often as he would like, but he couldn't pass up the Rodeo In which he took a large part in helping put across in former years. his many Morrow county friends Al from Henry F. Blahm by the cog nomen "Little Henry," was in the city yesterday on business from his home at Walla Walla. Henry F. is "Big Henry" and also resides at Walla Walla, to which city the Blahm brothers removed from this county several years ago. Mrs. Ida Dutton, pioneer Morrow county resident is up from her home at Portland, a guest at tne nome of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Wightman Mrs. Dutton has recovered quite well from Injuries sustained in an automobile accident near Pendleton early in the summer. Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Clark and son Ernest returned home from their vacation spent at Port Orford on the coast in time for Rodeo and the opening of school, and "Bub has again taken his chair at the Clark Barber shop. R. J. Carsner, register of the U. S. land office at The Dalles, was in the city for the Rodeo and acted as one of the timers in tne judges stand, as well as enjoying a visit with his many old time friends here Mr. and Mrs. Reid Buseick of Long Creek were among former residents here for the Rodeo, vis iting at the home of Mr. Buseick's mother. Mrs. Ellen Schwarz. Kew runs a store at Long Creek. Gordon Ridings of Eugene, for mer U. of O. basketball star who was in charge of the Legion plunge three years ago, visited during the Rodeo at the home or Mr. ana Mrs. M. D. Clark. Mr. and Mrs. O. Hiding Beng ston of Medford arrived in the city Saturday evening and visited until Monday at the home of Mrs. Beng- ston's parents, Mr. and Mrs. K, Benge. F. E. Everson and son Norman drove up from lone yesterday in a school bus which young Everson uses to transport pupils to the lone schools from an outlying district, Mrs. Alice Adkins left Tuesday evening for Yakima, Wash., to visit for several weeks with her son Har ley and family, and with a brother residing near that place. Mrs. Wm. Powell of Vancouver, Wash., was a visitor at the home of her mother, Mrs. Dan Rice, in this city the past week. She departed for her home Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Erwin and party, from La Mar, Wash., were among former Morrow county folks who enjoyed greeting friends during the Rodeo. Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Kelthley of Pendleton, former Heppner resi dents, made their annual visit at Rodeo time, enjoying a visit with old time friends. Mr, and Mrs. Stanley Reavls of Moro came over for part of the Ro deo and visited with friends. "Stan" was formerly with the local P. P. & L, office. Mrs. Adclyn O'Shea arrived from her home at Ellensburg, Wash., in time for the opening of school to assume her duties as fourth grade teacher. John Farley, former Heppner boy who has charge of Wilson's store at John Day, came over for the last day of the Rodeo. Strolling along the bank of a trout stream on my farm the other day I saw a fish capture an incau tious frog and proceed to devour it. Crossing the meadow on my way back to the house I saw a hawk pounce down upon a baby rabbit and heard the victim's shrill scream as the bird's talons pierced its skin. At the edge of my wife's flower garden I encountered a small, striped snake in the act of devour ine a toad. That, I reflected, is life as the animals experience it They prey upon each other and none Is saie. But they have no other way to live. It would be as foolish to call the hawk, the snake or the fish wicked as it would be to call humans wicK ed because they, too, kill animals for their food. SIoddv sentimentalists endow the lower animals with the same sensi bilities and emotions as humans, and make a great fuss about the cruelty of life. No one who eats meat is in a position to criticise the hawk that eats rabbits and in time, a few thousand years, per haps, men may get over the urge to kill other men because they dress differently, or speak a different lan guage, or get the better of them in trade. the new editor a survival what they had carefully hoarded away, fearing to put in Into the banks. "We took in more than ten thous and dollars in the old-fashioned large-sized currency on the first day of the salc,H the manager told me. "Many or tne Dins were actual ly moldy, and almost all of them were creased and damp." There are still hundreds of mil- loins of dollars of these old "big bills" unaccounted for, the Treas ury reports. LIGHT HOGS NOW MUCH IN DEMAND Studies Made at OSC Shows Trend in Market Wants and How to Grow This Type. I hereby extend the hand of fel lowship to Al Smith, editor. I have not always agreed with the Hon. Al fred E. Smith, politician, but when he began to write for the papers a couple of years back, I thought I saw the makings of a newspaper man in him. Now that he is out of politics so far as the present campaign is concerned, at any rate and is a full-fledged editor with a magazine of his own, Al and I ought to get along fine. I'll say this for Al, he puts a punch in whatever ne writes. He has ideas. In the New Outlook, of which he is to be the responsible editor, he will doubtless say a lot of things ably will say a great many things with which I won't agree, ana proD with which I will be in perfect har mony. Anyway, like a lot of other Americans, I'm going to watch for that first issue under his direction. 'Cello . . the masterpiece The greatest maker of violon cellos was Nicholas Amltti, who died two hundred years ago In Cre mona, Italy. The greatest maker of bows for violins and 'cellos was Alphonse Tourte of Paris, who died many years ago. The greatest ceil ist. until his death, was Altreao Piattl of London, who owned Ama ti's finest 'cello and played it with Tourte's finest bow. Probably the greatest living 'cell ist is Willem Willeke, born in Aus tria of a Dutch father and an Eng lish-Hungarian mother and now an American citizen. He has owned Piattl's Amati 'cello for a long time. At a dinner given by music lovers in Willeke's honor the other night in New York, the Tourte bow which Piattl used was given to the 'cellist, reuniting two famous Instruments Nobody ever heard such music as Willem Willeke produced when he drew that bow across the strings of that 'cello. Credit . . the original idea When the five-day week and the "staggering" of hours of employ ment so that everybody will have job become the general practice in the United States and I see signs which make me believe that they are coming perhaps the credit will go to the man who started the pro jeot. perhaps not. The man is Isador Teitelbaum, who makes and sells fine furniture In New York. One day last fall Mr. Teitelbaum, who is a deep studen of economic questions, outlined his Idea of the short week and the wid er distribution of jobs. "Come ou to the national convention of the Furniture association and tell them about it," his friend urged. M Teitelbaum had never made a pub lie speech in his life, but he talked that convention, representing em ployers of 400,000 men and women, Into Indorsing his plan. Since then the shorter week and the staggering hours system has been put forward by hundreds of others, and it was one of the big features of the President's indus trial conference a couple of weeks ago. Somebody else may get the credit for starting it, which Is why I want It put In the record now that it was Isador Teitelbaum-g or iginal idea. Hoarders . . . still with us Oregon hog raisers have been marketing 64 per cent of their hogs at the most desirable weight in Portland, and 42 per cent at the desirable weight at Willamette val ley points, according to a study re centlv made by the animal husband- ry department at the Oregon State college experiment station, 'ine re port on the study has just been is sued as station bulletin No. 297. "The market demand for a leaner type of hog is the result of falling off of export demand for lard and diminished use of this product in this country, and of the desire of consumers for leaner cuts," says the authors. H. A. Lindgren, A. W. Oliver and E. L. Potter. The college was requested to make a study of the radical change that took place in demand and con sider both the angle of consumer demand and the possibility of the grower making the maximum profit in raising hog3 that best suit the trade. The investigators found that the most desirable type at present is the hoe that weights 160 to 200 pounds and has a hard finish free from excessive lardiness. Hogs weighing more than 200 pounds sold for 50 cents to ?1 less than the light er ones. Hogs too thin in flesh are also discounted about the same amount those somewhat too heavy. Ac tual observance of the market re vealed that when there was a light run of hogs buyers paid little at tention to these variations in weight or finish. Hoes weiehing more than 200 pounds put on a larger daily gain but require mtjre grain to make one pound of gain than the lighter weight hogs, the production phase of the study showed. The grower is justified in producing the slightly heavier 200 to 225 pound hog when 100 pounds of live hog bring as much as the cost of 690 pounds of grain. W.C.T.U. NOTES WKSTLAND IRRIGATION DIS TRICT NOTICE. Notice is hereby given that the board of directors of the Westland Irrigation District, acting as board of Equalization, will meet at the office of the district in Hermis- ton, Oregon, on the first Tuesday in October, 1932, at 8 o'clock P. M., for the purpose of reviewing and correcting the assessment and ap portionment of taxes for the year 1932. J. W. MESSNER, Secretary. Bruce Barton writes of "The Master Executive" Supplying a week-to-week inspiration for the heavy-burdened who will find every human trial paralleled in the ex perience! of "The Man Hobody Knows" The Voice of Authority Success is always exciting; we never grow tired of asking what and how. What, then, were the principal elements in Jesus' power over men? How was it that the boy from a country village became the greatest leader? First of all he had the voice ana manner of the leader the personal magntism which begets loyalty and commands respect. The beginnings of it were present in him even as boy. John felt them. On the day when John looked up from the river where he was bap tizing converts and saw Jesus standing on the bank, he drew back in protest "1 have need to be bap tized of thee," he exclaimed, "and comest thou to me?" The lesser man recognized the greater instinctively. We speak of personal magnetism as though there were something mysterious about it a magnetic quality bestowed on one in a thousand and denied to all the rest. This is not true. The essential element in personal mag netism is a consuming sincerity an overwhelming faith in the im portance of the work one has to do. Most of us go through the world mentally divided aganst ourselves. We wonder whether we are in the right jobs, whether we are making the right investments, whether, af ter all, anything is as important as it seems to be. Our enemies are those of our own being and crea tion. Instinctively we wait for a commanding voice for one who shall say authoritatively, "I have the truth. This way lies happiness and salvation." There was in Jesus supremely that quality of convic tion. Even very successful people were moved by it. Jesus had been in Jerusalem only a day or two when there came a knock at his door at night. He opened it to find Nico demus, one of the principal men of the city; a member of the Sanhe drin, a supreme court judge. One feels the dramatic quality of the meeting the young, almost un known teacher and the great man, half curious, half convinced. It would have been easy to make a mistake. Jesus might very nat urally have expressed his sense of honor at the' visit; have said: "I appreciate your coming, sir. You are an older man and successful. I am just starting on my work. I should like to have you advise me as to how I may best proceed. But there was no such note in the in terviewno effort to make it easy for this notable visitor to become a convert One catches his breath involuntarily at the audacity of the speech: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Nicodemus, except you are born again you can not see the kingdom of Heaven." And a few moments later, "If I have not told you earth ly things and you have not believed, how shall you believe if I tell you heavenly things?" The famous visitor did not enroll as a disciple, was not lnvitea to enroll; but he never forgot the im pression made by the young mans amazing self-assurance. In a few weeks the crowds along the shores of the Sea of Gallilee were to feel the same power. lie invitation for anyone to send in his favorite recipes for using this native fruit Replies came from 13 counties in Oregon, Washington and California. These recipes and oth ers from various sources were test ed in the college cooking laboratory by staff experts and the 20 best ones were selected to be Issued free in mimeograph form. Several of the more unusual ones follow: -Huckleberry Cottage Pudding 1-3 cup butter, 1 cup sugar, 1 egg, 1-2 cup milk, 1 3-4 cup flour, 3 tsp. baking powder. Cream the butter, add sugar grad ually, add egg well beaten; mix and sift flour, baking powder and salt; add alternately with milk to first mixture. Place sweetened canned or fresh huckleberries in bottom of cake pan and pour cake batter over them and bake in a moderate oven (350 F.) 35 minutes. Serve with cream. Huckleberry Zip 1 package lemon gelatin, 1 cup huckleberry juice, 1 cup boiling water. Dissolve gelatin in boiling water, add huckleberry Juice, chill. When slightly thickened, beat with rotary egg beater until the consistency of whipped cream. Pile in sherbet glasses, chil until firm. This may be varied by adding a few whole berries to the whip; also by adding a cup of cream. Huckleberry Jam 1 pound huckleberries, 1 pound gooseberries, 3-4 pound sugar. Place all ingredient in kettle and cook about thirty minutes or until slightly thick. Next Week: A Leader of Men. Copyright, Bobbs-Merrill Company HUCKLEBERRY RECIPES ISSUED Home Economics Experts Choose Various Dishes Using Native Fruit. Twenty different ways to use that plentiful wild fruit, the huckleberry, have been chosen, tested and re cently issued by the home econ omics extension servic at Oregon State college for housewives to use in preparing this coast product for their tables.

It takes a lot of persua sion, though, to get some of It back Into the channels of trade again. Up In my country the largest store In southern Berkshire coun ty went out of business, and closed out Its stock an unheard of prices. nO the opening day of the sale, which was widely advertised, the main street of Great Barrlngton was almost Impassable, It was so crowded with farmers and village folk rushing to buy the bargains. And the money they brought was MARY A. NOTSON. Reporter. Whiting Williams, famous sociol ogist and national labor investigate or, says, "No matter how many speakeasies there are in the coun try they do not sell as much liquor in one week as a few saloons in those communities sold in one day before prohibition." There were speakeasies in the days of the saloon, too. The Min neapolis Journal, March, 1908, stat ed that the liquor dealers them selves admitted that there were 4000 'blind pigs" in Minneapolis. Re member, too, that It is the drinkers, not the dries, who make speak easies. If citizens who think them selves good citizens will cease to patronize the speakeasy and the bootlegger, there will soon be none of these law violators. A little com mon sense applied to this question will show that the claim that pro hibition makes speakeasies and bootleggers is simply silly. The person who peddles that kind or propaganda Is either a fool or thinks you are one. The law against larceny does not make horse thieves; the law against burglary does not make burglars. While the number of arrests does not prove the exact amount or crime in one period as compared with another, it is interesting and very suggestive that the World Al manac for 1932 shows that, not withstanding the increase In popu lation, the arrests for homicide were 31 per cent greater in New York in preprohibition days than since, felonies 11 per cent greater, and drunkenness 129 per cent great er in the wet years. The survey made under the direction of Judge Sonstobv of tho Municipal Court of Chicago showed a marked de crease in every one of the fifteen major offenses, notwithstanding all the so-oallcd "racketeering." . Alexander G. Jamie, director of Chicago's Secret Six, says that vio lations of prohibition In the last year or two have shrunk to a size that can no longer command the chief attention of the forces waging war on the underworld. He means to Include all violations of law con nected with prohibition. He asserts that several other lines of criminal activity bring more revenue than bootlegging to the underworld. He says that alcohol links the lowest elements of the underworld with the millionaires who are financing the fight on prohibition because the overthrow of prohibition will lower their taxes, expecting the taxes to come from the wives and children of the workingmen who would spend their wages in saloons as they did before prohibition. He says that four per cent beer would not do away with the criminal use of the machine gun, the bomb, the acid viol, torch and quick getaway afforded by auto and airplane. Every supporter of the liquor traffic is In part responsible for the crime caused by liquor. Who wants to feel that he Is In a measure re sponsible for crime just for the sake of saving a little In taxes?
