The Cow boys proved to be a very tough team all through the game, in fact during the first quarter they prac tically ran wild before the Mustangs could organize their defense. The Mustangs held the Cowboys on the one-yard line for four downs early in the second quarter. This threat proved to be the one and only one for the Cowboys. Midway in the third quarter the Mustangs scored their first touch down. Wade Bothwell sneaked thru the weak side of the line and ran seven yards for the score. The try for point failed. Near the end of the third quarter Jim Barratt re ceived a Cowboy kick on his own 35-yard line and with the help of good blocking ran the ball back 65 yards for the second Heppner score. Again the try for point faikd. The Mustangs threatened late in the fourth quarter but could not score for lack of time. Parrish and Jones were outstanding on defense for the Mustangs while Barratt made most of the yardage on defense. The Mustangs will travel to Ar lington on Friday, Oct. 9, hoping to strangle the Honkers The Honk ers have a strong team again this year and this should be a close, hard-fought game for both teams.

The WAACS have a thorough and a painstaking period of learning how the Army does things after completing the strenuous, indoctri nation, basic course. "The Army program is a way of living that reminds one of the Greek spartans," writes Miss Leib brand. "All fripperies and amenit ies of life are stripped away and one eats, sleeps, dresses and thinks Army. "The WAAC soldiers are on duty 24 hours a day and may be called out at any hour to pursue a course of work. Their day begins when the lights flare up in the barracks and the Charge-of-Quarters blows a whistle. For the next 12 hours ev ery minute is taken up with Army duties. You haven't a split second to call your own. '"We stand reville at 6 a.i m. and then march to mess. By 7:15 a. m. we have policed (cleaned) the bar racks and are in formation to march to work. Lunch is at 11:45 and we are at our offices by 1 p. m. The day ends at 4:45 and mess is at 5:15 p. m. However some of the girls have to work evenings until 9:30 to 10:30 o'clock. "Those of us who do not work, wash and iron clothes; polish shoes; go to a beauty shop for a hairdo or a manicure; write letters; read; play ping-pong, bridge or go walk ing. We have our own, PX (post Exchnge), theatre and chapel. "Week-ends .we are out of our offices by 3 p. m. and we go to Des Moines on the trolley. Most of us like a good steak as a change from our Army rations, and we take in a movie. Some of us are invited to civilian homes for the whole week-end. People of Des Moines have been most cordial to the WAACS. "I have been assigned to the li brary in Publications. We have charge of the non-expendable man uals and other publications printed by the U. S. government. Later, of ficer's training will be offered to those of us with high ratings, and high IQ's. We specialists have had all the breaks. No KP; few gigs; a mess hall of our own; a barracks of our own; and every consideration which includes new interpretations of Army regulations to make things easier for the training center groups. "We live in the renovated stables which are far more comfortable than the old cavalry barracks, and, of course, we dubbed ourselves the "Hobby Horses" the first day. "There are two facts that stand out in connection with the WAACS: we are all volunteers; all eager for advancement; although we are from 48 States there has never been a quarrel; we specialists all passed severe mental and physical tests; and, like the Army we work hard! "It's a rare privilege to be part of this group that came here July 20th. And we like the Army!" James Moyer writes that he is stationed in Mobile, Alabama and works at the air-craft warning in formation center which is under the 3rd Interceptor Command. One day, down at the wharf he was offered a ride on one of the small navy patrol boats andi saw two ves sels that had been brought into ' the harbor to be repaired, having been torpedoed or shelled at sea. In Mobile, at Pinto Island, the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuild ing company has a huge ship build ing plant. Allen Gibb, formerly of Heppner, is stationed in the Panama zone, ac cording to information reaching his brother, Bruce Gibb, who is visit ing in Heppner this week.

Roland was employed as guard at the Ellis ranger station the past summer. Lyle Allyn of Lexingjlon and brother of Mrs. J. G. Cowins of Heppner, writes that he has been transferred from Fort Ord, Cali fornia, to Camp Pickett, Va., where he is receiving advanced training in gunnery. He enOisted in the field artillery.

CLARK 'rom where I sit . . . ly Joe Marsh Ed Carey, our fire chief, came stompin' into the piintin' office last week, ir.adder'n a hornet. "Say!" he yells. "If I could get my hands on that feliow Goebbels, I'd stick a fire hose in his mouth and turn on the pressure," Ed shouts, poundin' my desk. "Do you know what he's puttin on the German short-wave propaganda to America NOW? He's tellin folks that Anieriean army camps are full of drunkenness! Can'you beat it?" "Calm yourself, Ed," says I. "Nobody's going to believe what Goebbels tells 'em." "But don't you see? He's puttin' this bare-faced lie on the air to stir up trouble." "Pretty, stupid propaganda, I'd say. Pretty silly, even for the Nazis," says I. "How so?" says Ed. "There's people in this country that want beer taken out of the camps. That sure is going to hurt army morale. And this lie certainly is fuel for their fire." "Not if I know Americans," I says. "And the Nazis don't know No. 49 of a Series few hours in Heppner Tuesday transacting business. She states that Mr. Peterson, who suffered an in- jury at their ranch below Monu ment a few months ago, is slowly improving. Mrs. A. R. Fortner and Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Davis of Grass Valley are visiting for a few days at the home of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Lucas. A. y t y ? y t y y t. y y y t f y f y y t y t t y y y f t y y t t us. People realize that if Goebbels wants beer taken away from our soldiers there must be a reason. The enemy won't stop anything that's hurting our army. They'll try to stop whatever's helping it." "Say! That's true, ain't it?" Ed began to grin. "Of course it's true and rea sonable people can't help but see it. So instead of makin' trouble like they hope they're just con firmin' what the Secretary of War and the other Army leaders be lieve that among the other good wholesome things a fighting man can get at the canteen in camp . America should include beer." From where I sit I can guess why Goebbels wants beer out of the camps. The Nazis would a heap rather face an army that already lost its rights than one that was righting for freedom it could touch and taste and feel every day . . Wouldn't you?
