A Businesslike Rodeo
IJEPPNER'S Rodeo is a typical
western show produced in a
natural setting more appropriate
than which none may be found.
Each year it produces sports of the
Old West with highest calibre tal
ent attracted by the liberal prize
money and the fair treatment ac
corded all contestants. The while it
gives respite to work-weary citi
zenry, provides a holiday for relax
ation that is needed by the com
munity, and draws together former
and present residents in many
reunions of friendship, as well as
bringing new people who later are
known as friends.
The task of producing the Rodeo
is a large one, and it is performed
by people of the community who
receive no compensation other than
the satisfaction of having accomp
lished something for the community
and something which they like to
do.
In years past these task-doers
have assumed a heavy load of per
sonal obligation in producing the
show. They have had no guarantee
of financial assistance to weather
hard times or adverse weather con
ditions, though true it is that when
emergency demanded business men
of the community have opened their
purses and bridged the gap. Such
manner of procedure, however, has
been haphazard and has resulted in
a slighting of obligations, not in
tentional, that has caused some per
sonal reflection upon the men who
have assumed the show's respons
ibility. The main case in point is
an indebtedness to Morrow county
for use of the dance hall, which
was compromised in a friendly
manner and recently settled that
this year's show might start with a
clean slate.
It was not altogether insistence
of directors that led to a new course
of procedure this year. Men outside
the official circle originally made
the proposal that the men in charge
should be protected against any re
currence of odium that might arise
should future deficits occur. Acting
on this suggestion, the directors
adopted a plan of indemnification
at a meeting last Friday evening.
The plan calls for 50 underwriters
who will agree to obligate them
selves not to exceed $25 each for
such legitimate financial obligations
as proceeds from the show may not
pay.
The plan as proposed is reason
able and business-like, and it is
due the directors that they receive
this support. Money may not be
flowing very freely at this time, it
is true, and $25 may seem like a
large sum to underwrite, still con
ditions would have to be adverse,
indeed, if each underwriter were
caused to pay the full amount. For
their part, directors have agreed to
gird their belts according to the
times and run the show as econom
ically as possible. If this be done,
and everyone expresses a determin
ation to help put the show across,
there will be no deficit, and Hepp-
ner's Rodeo will continue to be
looked upon as the "Best Little
Show of Sports of the Old West."
Funeral services were held from
St. Patrick's church Sunday after
noon beginning at 3 o'clock for
Frank Heatherton, 55, native of Ire
land, who passed away at the Dan
Doherty ranch in Sand Hollow at
4 o'clock last Friday afternoon. Rev.
Father Healy officiated and inter
ment was in Masonic cemetery.

Farmers Urged
To Check Bins
For Wheat Loans
Oregon farmers who intend to
take advantage of the AAA wheat
loan for 1939 are urged by Will
Steeen of Milton, chairman of the
Oregon ' agricultural conservation
committee, to make certain their
bins will meet the requirements of
the loan program.
As with the loan covering the 1938
wheat crop, farmers who store
wheat of the 1939 crop on their
farms will be eligible to a farm
storage allowance of 7 cents per
bushel if they deliver wheat of the
same grade and quality to the
Commodity Credit corporation when
the wheat loan matures. The 7-cent
allowance is in addition to the loan
itself.
Good wheat, properly stored, is
the only security a farmer will be
required to put up for his loan,
said Mr. Steen. To store wheat
that will remain good security,
farmers will need storage bins that
will:
1. Hold the wheat without loss
of quality.
2. Protect the wheat against wea
ther conditions which may cause
deterioration.
3. Provide protection from thieves,
rodents, birds, poultry and insects.
4. Permit effective fumigation for
destroying insects.
5. Provide reasonable safety from
fire and wind.
6. Require forcible breaking in
order to be entered when sealed.
The record of farm storage in re
gard to the 1938 wheat loan indi
cates that farmers are able to pro
vide good storage facilities on their
farms. During a recent reinspection
of about 19,000 bins in nine western
states, eight north central states,
Texas and Oklahoma, only 24 bins
were in such condition that inspec
tors recommended that loans be
discontinued.

Drake calf brought 9 cents, though
it sold late in the bidding.

Greeley, Dick Wilkinson, Irvin

ATTENDS TRACK MEET
Douglas Drake, who won first in
the discus for Heppner high school
at the recent eastern Oregon meet
at La Grande, attended the state
meet at Eugene following and qual
ified in the same event though
failed to place. Mrs. Drake and his
brother, Raymond of Salem, accom
panied him to the meet, and Doug
las and mother returned home last
week. Mr. Drake, in the city Mon
day from the Sand Hollow farm,
was proud of his boy's showing,

showers of that morning which were
expected to help the barley crop if
nothing else.
TO TEACH AT PHOENIX
Mr. and Mrs. E. L. Bucknum
have received word from their son,
Gordon, who taught the last year
at St. Paul, Ore., that he has signed
a two-year contract to coach and
teach part time at Phoenix, Ariz,
beginning with the fall term. Gor
don has been playing both baseball
and softball at St. Paul and his
activities may prevent him from
spending much of his vacation at
home, said Mr. Bucknum. He re
cently had the misfortune to lose
four teeth when he got a ball hot
off the bat in the mouth, which
proved rather costly as well as
painful.
