UMATILLA COUNTY. OREGON. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 10, 1920 VOL. XIV NO. 52 Field Day Celebration Will Be Big Event Here HON. N. J. SINNOTT WILL DELIVER AN ADDRESS Over 1000 visitors are expected to attend Field Day, September 11th, at the Umatilla Experiment Farm. The weather man "has been fixed,” and a huge time is anticipated. A fine program of games, music, speeches, "eats,” etc., has been arranged. Drop your troubles for a day, bring the family and do a little "neighboring.” Games and Sports— * Cash Wood, County Y. M. C. A. secretary, will superintend a num ber of contests for which the busi ness firms of Hermiston will offer at tractive prizes. Games for the lit tle folks will also interest and amuse them. Music— The Hermiston Boys’ Band and Community singing under Professor Voelker will "make the welkin ring.” An item of special interest will be the Happy Canyon Male quartette. Speaking— The Hon. N. J. Sinnott will be the orator of the day. Professor Hyslop will give us a live talk on "alfalfa.” Director Jardine of the Oregon Ex periment Station will also speak. Other live speakers will be on the program. Education— County Agent Bennion will stage a boy’s stock judging contest to de termine the team which will go to the State Fair. Miss Harmon, Home Demonstra tion Agent, will conduct an exhibit of the work of the Home Bureaus. Miss Virginia Todd, Chapter Sec retary of the Red Cross, will have a Home Service booth. Beauty Contest— Several candidates will represent different districts in a friendly’con test for a prize to be offered for the most beautiful man present. The purpose is to show the bénéficient effect of irrigation on manly pul- chitrude. Only the women will be permitted to vote. The decision will be rendered by ballot, each woman being allowed one vote for each year she is old. The management rea lizes that a great many of the ladles may hesitate to exercise their fran chise and it will probably be neces sary to have the ballot secret. A manager will be appointed for each candidate who will be allowed an opportunity to extol and exhibit the rare beauty of form and feature of his candidate. This is Important— Miss Harmon states that the wo men have something in store for everyone that will surprise all, and wants everybody to bring their own coffee cup. Please bear this in mind, because you won't get any eoffee if you don’t bring a cup. - Mrs. J. W. Campbell will be In charge of the knitting contest for the elderly ladies. Mrs. B. S. Kingsley is in charge of the sewing department. Mrs. O. D. Burgees is In charge of the Millinery department. Mrs. McFarland of Umatilla, Mrs. Fisher of "Columbia and Mrs. Hinkle of Hermiston have the big lunch in charge, and you had better bring along a good capacity for the best “eats” you ever tasted, for- if you don’t, the good ladies are going to be powerfully disappointed.

NEW MOVIE COMPLETED; TO OPEN WEDNESDAY NIGHT WEST END ALFALFA GROWERS ORGANIZE First steps toward the organiza tion of an Alfalfa Growers’ Associa tion, have been taken In two meet ings at the Hermiston Public Libr ary, the first meeting August 26th, and the second meeting September 2, Temporary officers were chosen and a committee on by-laws appointed to prepare plans for the permanent or ganization of the alfalfa men. The meeting to consider these by-laws and perfect the permanent organiza tion of an Alfalfa Growers’ Associa tion is to be held at the Public Li brary Tuesday evening. September 14th, at 8:00 o’clock. It is planned to include the grow ers of the Stanfield, Irrigon, Butter Creek. Echo, Umatilla, Boardman and Hermiston districts in one big organization. Invitations are be ing sent to the alfalfa men of these sections and every one interested is invited to this meeting. Because of efficient organization growers in the Yakima Valley have Just contracted with dairymen for delivery of 5000 tons of hay, selling to them dldect. and at prices satisfactory to both. Nearly 60 farmers of the Hermis ton district have signed a wage schedule- agreement for the balance of the 1920 haying season: (1) Single hand men 50c per hour, (2) Man -and team 85c per hour; (3) Mower $2.00 per day; (4) Stock ers for sleds or wagon 60c per hour; (5) Stockers for buck racks 70c per hour; (6) Hay balling 33.75 per ton. This cut in wages from the scale prevailing up to this time this season the growers say is Imperative owing to a decrease in hay prices, averag ing 40 per cent from those obtained for first crop hay. The 60 cents per hour for single hand men and $1.00 per hour for man and team schedule was estab lished Just prior to the harvest of the first cutting when growers were op timistic for 325.00 per ton for baled hay. The present schedule amounts to a-15 per cent decrease and Is practically the same wage paid hay ing hands last year. Balers have been charging from 34.00 to $1.50 per ton for balling this season. Wages paid by them run from 65 cents to $1.00 per hour. Some outfits work eight hours and some nine hours. Hay growers believe that balers can profit In the business at a price of 33.75 per ton. Outside baling outfits are wanting to come Into this district and contract for baling al this price, but alfalfa men who have participated In the preliminary or- ganization are favorable to giving preference to local outfit*. Good Record Made The article In a recent Issue of the Herald referring to the new Play House, wherein we stated that It was through the inability of the con tractors to finish the building In time for the opening performance as advertised on the first of Septem ber, was a gross Injustice to them. Messrs Smith 4 Rogers, contractors, called our attention to the fact that there has been no delay in the con struction, other than shortage of ma terial when the building was first started, but. in the last few weeks the new movie house has been going on nicely and has now been turned over to the owner. C. H. Crandall Our mentioning the Inability of the contractors to complete the building by the date advertised had no re flection on the contractors what ever, On the contrary, we congrat ulate them on the splendid work they have done, and notwithstanding the loss of time encountered by shortage of material, have made a wonderful record with the building. The new movie house called the Play House, is all ready for the open ing performance, which will be Wed- Mias Helen Curry of La Grande, was visiting friends in Hermiston the nesday, September 15th. latter part of last week ' A new epoch In the history of Her miston opens with the completion of The Play House this week. In this era it can truly be said that the screen keeps pace with community expansion everywhere, and on land where only a few years ago sage- brush and the jack-rabbit roamed at will, there now stands a splendid and comfortable photo-play thea tre. There is not in all Eastern Ore gon a more attractive show house than this one. which has been so well designated, "the theatre beautiful." The auditorium Is 26 feet in width by 105 deep, and will have a seating capacity of 300. On entering the plain but admirably well designated foyer or lobby, finished in walnut and passing on through the light swinging doors that connect with the auditorium, the visitor is impressed with the beauty of the house. The interior decorations, fixtures, draped curtains of red with valance to match, the 25x12 stage, scenery, opera chairs, marquise over the box office add to the attractiveness and comfort of the patrons of the new Play House. The projection room over the lobby Is 8x6 feet in size and has been equipped with the latest and best In motion picture machines, Powers’ 6B Cameragraph, and general electric sompensarc. The Power’s camera- graph constitutes all the necessary and desirable features in modern up- to-date projection that years of ‘study, experiment and experience have adduced and Is designed to give perfect satisfaction under any and all conditions. A feature at the Play House will be the special attention given to the playing of the pictures by piano and violin, which will be aubmented with player piano. Every detail of the feature, e medy, news weekly and scenic productions will be care fully rehearsed in advance so that every performance will be accom panied with an excellent musical pro gram. Shown will be shown on Wednes day, Thursday, Saturday and Sun day with Saturday und Sunday mat inees. George H. Adams, manager, has had considerable experience with photo-play houses In the east and later In Denver and will show noth ing but the very best pictures, and everyone can be assured good, clean ‘photo-plays. The price of admission is 15 cents for school children and 35 cents for adults. NEW BAKERY FORMALLY OPENS DOORS FOR BUSINESS Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Sutherland opened the Liberty bakery door to the public last Monday and are now baking bread and all bakery pas- teries.
