THE Hehisch Published by the Journalism Class of HEPPNER HIGH SCHOOL STAFF Cleo Hiatt Editor Grade News Don Jones Reporters: Ed Dick, Francis Rugg, Louis Gilliam, Kay Reid, Jennie Swendig, Cliff Yarnell. Editorial A well written editorial can be a complete entertainment program or it can be a source of knowledge. It is the duty of any editorial staff to furnish its readers with opinions and to offer explanations of import ant questions on topics which might be puzzling to the public in general. But all editorials are not explana tions and opinions. Editorials that are entertaining are usually written about commonplace occurrences which the public unwittingly think they know all about. They are, nevertheless, well pleased when a clever editor prints a column of In teresting, yet undiscussed, subject matter concerning a place or thing, which heretofore had never been thought of as material suitable to furnish ideas and inspirations for an editorial column. Lectures to Class Mr. Morton, manager of the Heppner bank, gave an interesting talk to the American History class last Tuesday. His lecture was given as a supplement to a study of the World War. Mr. Morton saw action in the two big drives of the war, one in the Argonne Forest, the St. Mehiel; and the other in Belgium, called the Turnip Drive because of the extensive fields of turnips on the battle field. He was able to tell much about the actual fighting. Mr. Morton did not. dwell long on the actual killing of men or the inci dents of battle because of the mem ories that sort of discussion brings back to him. During his talk he traced the course of his campaigns tor tne class on a map. He also had many pictures of the places he visited in Europe. Thru Mr. Morton's talk, the American History class gained much informa tion about the war that is not print ed in textbooks.

Dairymen Await Decision On Surplus Control Plan Agricultural adjustment officials back in Washington, D. C, to re view the results of 15 regional meet ings dealing with the proposed dairy surplus control plan have before them the almost unanimous en dorsement of the basic principles of the plan by representatives of the Pacific Northwest industry as expressed in the Portland confer ence. The meeting was presided over by William A. Schoenfeld, dean of agriculture at Oregon State col lege. Organized opposition to the pro duction control plan, reported to have been active in some of the re gional meetings, was not evident at the Portland conference, though there was some opposition, princi pally from a few who felt that the whole economic system needs a rad ical overhauling. On final vote lim ited to actual producing dairymen or their representatives, the vote to favor the plan of production con trol with suggested modifications was in the ratio of Six to one.

Fed eral officials at the Portland meet ing were not at all certain that any plan would be launched, as they said the AAA has no desire to force a plan upon the industrty or to launch one If the industry is ser iously divided in support of it Chief modifications of the pro posed plan asked by Oregon, Wash ington and Idaho producers would first lengthen the base period from two to three years in arriving at a dairyman's average production, would use other than processing tax funds to finance the disease control features of the plan, and would strengthen the requirements for a compensatory tax on oleo margarine. The conference also passed a separate resolution ad dressed directly to the president asking his support for the proposed excise tax on imported vegetable oils. A number of producers speaking in favor of the proposed plan of re duction in sales of from 10 to 20 per cent, pointed out that there might be some defects in the plan and it might be more difficult to operate than with some other com modities, but that with more cows than ever before, the Industry is confronted with a crisis in the form of probable price collapse to unheard-of lows for dairy products unless some form of control is in augurated quickly. Why Liquid Laxatives are Back in Favor The public is fast returning to the use of liquid laxatives. People have learned that the right dose of a properly prepared liquid laxative will bring a perfect movement without any discomfort at the time, or after. The dose of a liquid laxative can be varied to suit the needs of the individual. The action can thus be regulated. A child is easily given the right dose. And mild liquid laxatives do not irritate the kidneys. Doctors are generally agreed that senna is a natural laxative. It does not drain the system like the cathar tics that leave you so thirsty. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is a liquid laxative which relies on senna for its laxative action. It gently helps the average person's bowels back to regularity. You can always get Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin at any drug store, ready for. use. Member N. R. A. 5-LB. TIN 59c 10-LB. TIN .. $1.19 PINTS 19c - MON 20-21-23, Incl. SYRUP I I Maximum cane and maple Relief Purchases of Meat Aid Western Cattle Price The effect on general cattle prices of limited purchases of aurplua meat on a terminal market has been convincingly shown by a study of the result of government purchases of cattle at North Portland during January and February of this year. The study was made by B. W. Ro denwold, assistant professor of ani mal husbandry at Oregon State col lege. Accurate market figures from or iginal records were studied first for an eight-year period and then for the period in question. After al lowing for all normal seasonal fluc tuations it was concluded that the government purchases of some 800 beef carcasses for $28,000 had raised the general market level enough to bring an excess return of at least $130,000 to producers of Oregon and Washington during the two-months period. Changes in the Portland price affect this whole area, it was shown. Oregon livestock associa tions have contended successfully to have relief purchases made in the area where they are to be used.
