because Armistice day comes on

hard fought battle because the

to avenge the defeat of last year
at the hands of the Hermiston Apple-Pickers.
We hope that the Heppner town
folks, as many as possible, will
journey to Hermiston to boost the

of the season.
The football game at Milton
Freewater Friday afternoon ended
in defeat for the Fighting Irish.
The score at the end of the game
was 18-0 in favor of Mac Hi.
Heppner did not play so well as
they have in former game3, but
nevertheless they made a good
showing against the heavier team.
In the first quarter of the game
Heppner held Mac Hi in their own
territory. It was not until the last
of the second quarter that Mac Hi
scored. The attempt at conver
sion failed. Mac-Hi did not score
again until the fourth quarter,
when they made two touchdowns.

failed.

How to Treat Glad Bulbs
Told by OSC Specialists
Treating gladiolus bulbs, or corms
as they are more properly called,
while in storage is recommended
as a means of avoiding damage
from thrips and other pests, says
Dr. Don C. Mote, entomologist of
the Oregon State college experiment
station. Much of the difficulty re
ported by amateur gardeners with
their glads this season is believed
due to the activities of these pests,
particularly thrips.
Thrips can be seen easily under
the microscope and their presence
is usually indicated by a silvering
of the leaves, more or less in strips.
A napthalene treatment will kill
them, and is very easily applied, Dr.
Mote says. For small lots of bulbs
the best way generally is to put the
bulbs in a paper bag with one ounce
of napthalene flakes for about 100
medium sized bulbs. Tie the bags
up tight and leave for 20 or 25 days.
Or the bags may be put away in
storage and left for a month or two 1
without damage to the bulbs or
danger from fire or poison.
It is necessary, however, that the
bulbs be taken out of the bags and
aired before they begin to sprout
as the napthalene, if it has not all
evaporated, will injure the young
sprouts. It is well at this time to
sprinkle the bulbs with nicotine
dust to keep away the aphids that
often infest them when the sprouts
appear.
Temperature and humidity con
ditions under which bulbs are
stored affect the number of days
from planting to flowering, as well
as the number of flower spikes and
the number of corms produced by
the mother bulb or corm, according
to A. G. B. Bouquet of the horti
cultural department at the college.
This has been found to be true,
however, only of the medium sized
bulbs and not of the largest and
smallest ones.
Glads stored at lower tempera
tures of 32 to 40 degrees were found
to bloom somewhat later, though
they had more flower spikes and the
yield was greater than where the
corms were stored at temperatures
of 50 degrees or more. Rooting and
sprouting in storage is Increased
with higher temperatures and hu
midity. Oregon Cities League

Morrow County oAbttrad: & Title Co., Inc.
Office Court House
F. B. NICKERSON, President
(Announcement
To our Patrons and
the General Public:
In VIEW of the fundamental injus
tice of the telephone rate order issued
October 11, 1934, by the Commissioner
of Public Utilities, we had no alterna
tive, in fully meeting our public respon
sibilities, but to submit the matter to
court for final decision. On the facts
which we have presented, the court has
temporarily suspended the order of the
Public Utilities Commissioner.
Pending the final determination by
the court, bills for exchange telephone
service will be rendered at the rates in
effect prior to the Commissioner's order.
Our Company has given bond, under the
court's order, which fully protects all
our customers in case any refunds may
be due.
Telephone rates have been regulated
in Oregon for twenty years, and only
reasonable earnings under the most fa
vorable business conditions have been
allowed. It is a well-known fact that our
earnings under regulation are limited in
good times. Private industry is not so
limited. During the depression, tele
phone earnings, along with those of
other businesses, have been seriously
impaired because of the decreased use
of the service.
At all times our investment is fixed
by the public requirements and conse
quently the carrying charges on our
telephone plant are likewise fixed. Under
regulation we are not guaranteed any
return on our investment and we are
permitted to earn only a fair return when
business conditions make that possible..
Throughout the depression, it has not
been possible for us to earn any figure
even approaching a fair return.
OUR EARNINGS in Oregon dur
ing the last eighteen months have been
less than 2 per annum on our prop
erty, the value of which is $37,000,000.
The value of the property used in intra
state Oregon operations is $31,000,000.
The Public Utilities Commissioner held,
in his recent order, that this portion of
the property was worth only $20,825,
000, a reduction of $10,000,000, or over
30. The reduction in rates ordered,
while small to the individual rate-payer,
aggregates over $365,000 a year to the
Company and will reduce our present
low earnings to 1 on the value of the
property. It is apparent that these dif
ferences are substantial and not minor
concessions that our Company might
make.
Every vital principle and fact which
have given Oregon a telephone service
of the highest quality at the lowest
possible cost consistent with financial
safety were ruled on adversely by the
Public Utilities Commissioner. We must
continue to render an adequate, depend
able and satisfactory service, and meet
our obligations to the public we serve,
the men and women who are loyally de
voting their lives to this great public
service, and our stockholders. In ful
filling these responsibilities we had no
other recourse than the legal step which
the rate order forced us to take.
THE BELL SYSTEM, of which our
Company is fortunately a part, has dedi
cated itself to the fundamental policy
and purpose of rendering the most tele
phone service and the best at the lowest
possible cost to the public.
Our Company, through its contractu
al relationship in no sense a relation
ship of a subsidiary to a holding com
pany as ordinarily understood with
the American Telephone and Telegraph
Company receives the full benefits of
the many services furnished it by an ex
tensive, investigating and experiment
ing centralized organization. The value
of these services so far exceeds the
amount we pay for them and they are
so fundamental and beneficial in our
rendering a dependable and constantly
improving telephone service, that we
would have been remiss in our obliga
tions to our patrons if we had failed to
avail ourselves of them.
It is an established fa.t, conclusive
ly proved by actual experience for many
years, that through our privilege of par
ticipation in all the benefits and advan
tages accruing to us as a part of the Bell
System, we have been able to render,
comprehensively and effectively, an un
equaled service to our patrons. It would
not have been possible, either financially
or physically, for our Company, working
independently, to accomplish the advan
tageous results for its patrons which
obtain by virtue of the fundamental,
comprehensive and economical contrac
tual relationship which it is our privilege
to enjoy as an Associated Company of
the Bell System.
We EARNESTLY DESIRE that
our patrons have the full facts and we
welcome at all times the opportunity to
discuss any phase of our operations. We
fully realize the welfare of our business
depends upon public confidence and
good will.
We would be glad to reduce rates
voluntarily if we were financially able
to do so. We can not do the impossible
we have the obligation to play our full
part in bringing back better times, to
share the added cost of government, to
meet our full responsibilities in render
ing at all times the highest quality of
service at the lowest possible cost, to
provide a plant with the highest degree
of performance, and to preserve the
financial integrity of the property.
