Tragedy.
A TRAGEDY at New London,
Texas, wrenched the hearts of
the world this week. No mother
who has felt the clinging arms of a,
child, no father who has seen the
hope of posterity reflected in the
smiling eyes of his own son or
daughter, but felt some of the pangs
of stark sorrow which overwhelmed
parents of the 400-odd children
blasted into eternity without least
warning by the explosion which vis
ited the New London school a few
minutes before closing time last Fri
day afternoon. Words may not be
found at such a time to bring solace
to the bereaved. But ministrations
of a sympathetic humanity may in
time help heal the wounds.
A vagary of March: Snow, sun
shine and blowing dust. All seen at
one time on Main street this week.
Thirty-six uniformed youngsters
held the center of attention on Main
street Saturday. They appeared as
a first product of spring, blossoming
forth, as it were, in bright colors and
beautiful sounds, reflecting arrival
of life and vivacity to the world af
ter slumber through a cold winter.
Like the flowers and birds, they
came, the Heppner school band, in
their first public appearance of the
season.
And comes Easter, Sunday. More
blossoming forth of the spring-time,
but a week old. There will be bright
ly colored bunny eggs, and to be
sure, lilies emblematic of the day.
But Easter opens the spring style
parade for milady, as fact of first
importance to hubby or daddy. '
URGED BY PRESIDENT.
S. E. Notson, vice-president Inter
national Association of Sheriff's and
Police, received a letter from Louis
J. Forbes, president, urging attend
ance at the convention to be held in
Honolulu, between April 27 and May
13. For the occasion a boat has been
chartered for convention delegates
from the United States and Canada
which will leave Seattle April 27.
Most of the convention sessions will
be held aboard ship, Mr. Notson
says, with the five days in the islands
given mostly to sightseeing and rec
reation. May 13 is given as the date
scheduled for the return landing.
Mr. Notson believed possibility slight
of his being able to make the trip.
500 AT FREE DANCE.
The free dance staged at the Le
gion hall in lone Saturday night by
Braden-Bell Tractor & Equipment
company drew a crowd of more
than 500 people, reports V. R. Run
nion, manager of the new local store
which will be opened shortly in the
building occupied by the Ford ga
rage. Music was furnished by a
Walla Walla orchestra, and free eats
were served. Attendance far ex
ceeded expectations and it was nec
essary to procure more lunch be
fore all could be served.
CALF CLUB WORK.
(Contributed)
A great amount of practice is(
necessary to become a good judge of
cattle and there is no way to get this
practice but by actual judging work.
Whenever the young calf club mem
ber has the opportunity he must size
up stock and decide which of a
group he considers the best dairy or
beef type.
Plans are being made to renovate
the county fair barn and put it in
better shape for the 4-H exhibits
this fall.
This type of showing is growing
fast in popularity in our county and
everyone should back up the efforts
of the young members and their
leaders.
It is required in the 4-H calf club
work that the boy or girl members
own their own calf. This gives them
the opportunity for ownership. Boys
and girls who own something learn
to be self-reliant, thrifty and have a
regard for the property of others.
It is said that most criminals nev
er owned anything in childhood.
lunch was served by the hostess.
Mr. and Mrs. George Gillis were
visitors. The next meeting is to be
held at the home of Mrs. Henry
Rauch, April 2.
The March, meeting of the Busy
Bee Sewing club was held at the
home of the leader, Mrs. Julian
Rauch, on March 5. The first and

ond article. An excellent demon
stration on care of the hands was
exhibited by May and Fay Rauch.
After all the teams have exhibited
their work the two best shall vie;
the winner being the team to dem
onstrate at the fair. Mrs. Sailing
was a guest and gave the girls a
demonstration on making bound
buttonholes and set-in pockets.

Y'OU'D never dream that fast freight service meant
greater saving or newer styles, would you? That
it really affected your home or pocketbook ? Or that
Union Pacific's gigantic "Challenger" freight locomo
tives saved you money?
Yes, that's what fast freight service means to you,
and this is why it happened:
We wanted to offer the American shipper faster,
more precise freight service, the kind you expect from
crack passenger flyers.
We started out by buying fifty high-speed modern
locomotives for main line service in 1928. Then we
spent long months of experiment to set even higher
standards. The result a new type of super-powerful
freight locomotive, the "Challenger," designed to
handle heavy train loads at a speed of sixty miles an
hour. Fifteen of these huge leviathans are now in
service. Twenty-five more are being built.
These great "Challengers" enable us to maintain
a speed which is 33 greater than it was in V)lV
and reduced the time between Council Bluffs and
Ogden the great transcontinental speedway to
less than half oi the former running time.
But more than that (and this is where you come in),
fast schedules mean reduced inventories, lower stocks
and replacements for stores and shops . . . enable shop
keepers to pass along this saving to you, in lower prices,
because quick turnovers cut down costs and losses.
So today, when you do your shopping, buy a new suit
or agown straight from a New York fashion designer, or
even a tin of beans . . . your pocketbook will tell you
the happy results of Union Pacific's policy of constantly
planning for the future. Union Pacific always
looks ahead!
