the Northwest Association of Ac
credited High Schools, certificate of
Which was recently received. Mem

that Heppner high school gradu
ates are entitled to matriculate in
any of the state institutions of high
er education in the northwest with
out further examination.
Despite the depressed conditions
which have precluded the board
signing any contracts with teachers
so far for next year, a number of
the teachers are planning to attend
summer school. The board of edu
cation is not In a position at this
time to announce plans for next
year, but are of the opinion that
maintaining of present standards
will depend largely upon how well
people respond with their tax payments.
Comptroller Assesses
Stockholders 100 Pet.
A 100 percent assessment of
stockholders of both the First Na
tional and Farmers & Stockgrow
ers National banks of Heppner,
now in the process of liquidation,
was anounced by J. F. Gault, re
ceiver, this week. The assessment,
amounting to $100,000 for First Na
tional and $50,000 for Farmers &
Stockgrowers stockholders, was
made by the comptroller of the cur
rency from the receiver's statement
which showed that the full assess
ment was necessary to meet part of
the deficiency in assets required to
pay depositors' claims.
The receivership being operated
Jointly for the two banks in the of
fices of the First National bank has
resulted In economies for each in
stitution, says Mr. Gault. The neces
sary overhead expense which would
have been required to handle the
liquidation of the Farmers bank
separately has been cut 75 per cent
by the combination, while bringing
a return to depositors of the First
National bank in the amount of rent
paid. The salaries under the re
ceivership are considerably less
than the total salaries paid to the
force of one of the banks during
operation. The receiver is pushing
the settlement of accounts as rapid
ly as possible in accordance with
instructions from the comptroller
and the laws governing the process
of liquidation.

Continuing the Socratic leaeue
discussion with the question, "Look
ing oacK over the last twenty years,
what form of government, in your
opinion nas prevailed in the United
States," no definite answer was giv
en by the members responding,
though all were doubtful If the
principles of democracy had been
entirely carried out.
To elucidate the question, defin
itions oi various forms of govern
ment were given: democracy, gov
ernment Dy tne majority of the peo
pie; republic, government bv reD-
resentatives of the majority of the
people; oligarchy, government by a
small group of the people; plutoc
racy, government by the rich class
and demagogy, government obtain
ed through misleadine the DeoDle
by glowing promises impossible to
fulfill.
The discussions are held without
previous preparation, intended to
bring spontaneous response from
those questioned as to their indi
vidual ideas of government.
While no direct answer was o-lv-
en to the question, those responding
save some interesting ideas. One
member cited Muscle Shoals as an
example of political manipulation
wnerein tne government turned
down a lucrative offer to sell or
lease the project, and since has
none little toward its development.
Another member believed the prin
ciples of democracy should prevail,
if they do not, and that in the main
they are the controlling factor In
our government Still another
member declared that those in con
trol in the early days of our gov
ernment meant it when they put
iu we .trust" on the country's
money, but that today the people
have strayed far afield. The motto
should now be, he said, "We Trust
in the Almighty Dollar."

Last Examinations Slated
For Licenses at Low Rate
Morrow county motorists will
have their last opportunity next
Wednesday to take the drivers' ex
amination before June 9 when the
rate will be increased from 60 cents
to a dollar. Martin Redding, ex
aminer of operators and chauffeurs,
will be in Heppner at the court
house between the hours of 1 and
5 o'clock p. m on Wednesday, May
31, to give the examination, accord
ing to word from the office of Hal
E. Hoss, secretary of state, who
urges all desiring to take the exam
ination to get in touch with Mr.
Redding during these hours.
Many Morrow county motorists
have availed themselves of the op
portunity to obtain licenses at the
low rate on recent visits of the ex
aminer. All who have not had li
censes renewed are required to ob
tain new licenses before September
1, and by taking the examination
before June 9 fifty cents may be
saved on the price of the license.
FISH ON WAY.
Charles H. Latourell received tel
ephone notification this morning
that a tank truck load of fish for
planting in Morrow county streams
is on its way today from the Oak
Springs state hatchery. Local
sportsmen have the promise of 50,
000 fish this year, and it Is expected
this delivery will contain between
15,000 and 20,000, to be placed in up
per Willow creek.
Leo Gorger, in town today from
the wheat ranch of Gorger broth
ers north of lone, reports grain be
ginning to head in their vicinity. It
is making splendid progress now,
the result of recent good rains.
May with its green fields and pro
fusion of flowers brings one of the
most delightful seasons of the year.
Its sentiments, too, are endeared to
the minds of all.
At this season flowering manhood
and womanhood step from the por
tals of high school and college in
searcn or rertile soil in which to
cast their seed, reflecting colorful
ideals, rich promise and asnirine
amoiuon irom tne careful gardening
tnat Drougnt forth their blossoms.
Much of the land lies fallow now,
reaoy to be sown. What the har
vest will be Is one of the sentiment
al conjectures that add tn thp
charm of May.
The chilling winds sweeDine over
a drought-ridden countryside in an
other season have caused to lie
dormant more seeds which balmier
weather made to germinate, send
ing rorth emerald plants. Like the
rose bush, their flowers, now in the
bud, will be more beautiful because
of the thorns.
The pall of sad memories pricks
the soul on Decoration Day, But
beautiful indeed are the flowers of
patriotism, love and honor that
blossom in the minds of many.
Significant of blood-stained fields
of honor mayhap In Flanders,
where they left their own life fluid
mingling with that of comrades
who never came back to stain the
poppies, tissue replicas of which
have kept their hands busy and
their minds turned away from em
bittering memories comes another
flood of blossoms from disabled
World war veterans to enrich the
May. Let us catch the torch and
hold It high.
Lincoln Steffens In a recent visit
to the University of Oregon told
siuaents to believe&othing, take
nothing for granted. It was the
wise and honored journalist's way
ui saying to Keep the mind open
ano awaKe; that truth mav be ar-
rived at only through comparing
values, and that all values are rel
ative. Steffens is older and wiser
than -we. And scientists like Ein
stein and his theory of relativity
support him. The advice Is worth
considering by graduates.
People are too prone to relv on
time-worn adages that are only rel
ativey true when they should be
thinking for themselves.
There are those who believe so
firmly that "the right will prevail"
In all Instances that it is not neces
sary for them to do anything about
it They may be correct But let
us accept "right" as a comparative
value.

The engineers may be rlzht in
their theory of development of the
Columbia river. If perfect honesty
and irrefutable knowledge of their
proression govern their action,
nothing could be sweeter than to
rely entirely on their judgment, as
the "lower river" advocates would
have it But on the chance that
there might be a flaw in the premise
on which either the engineers or the
lower river developers base their
reasoning, It is just as right that
those who reside next to the upper
river receive early benefits from
any plum Uncle Samuel may have
to nand out as it is for all those
benefits to go to the lower river.
Of course when angry children
get to quarreling between them
selves, the benevolent uncle may be
come an exacting relative, spank
ing them both and putting them
to bed.
Especially so if there are other
nephews and nieces with mouths
watering for a taste of the plum.

Heppner's chances of annexing
tne wis Wheatland league pennant,
augmented by the defeat of lone

a large degree by the outcome of
the game next Sunday when the

the ball club are planning a picnic
at isiue Mountain park, a short dis
tance from Fossil on the John Day

be in good condition to travel, and
tne mountain route will be particu
larly attractive with spring flowers
just blooming.
With two runs each in the first
and second innings, and another in
the third, Heppner stepped out into
what seemed to be a comfortable
lead in Sunday's clash. But after
scoring one run in the fourth, lone
came through with five more in the
sixth to take a one run lead mo
mentarily. Grim determination
marked the faces of the Heppner
boys as they came to bat in their
half of this inning to tally five run
ners themselves and settle the score
at its final figure, 10-6.
Gordon Bucknum started the
Heppner rally with a three-bagger

the local field this season, netting
the final three tallies. All of Hepp-
ners catting order faced chuckor
Swanson In this inning.
m tneir half of the sixth, hits bv
wauer Linn, Klchard Lundell
Swanson and Frank Lundell, com

lone tallies. Their run in the fourth
came after two were away, Everson

n.enny AKers on which the throw
was a little late to catch him
Heppner's scores in the first came
via singles by Burley Akers and
Harold Gentry followed by Roy
Gentry's two-bagger. In the sec
ond a walk by Hayes and hits by
massey, AKers and H. Gentry ac
counted for two more. A scratch
