to First Defeat.
Another step In the proposed fus
ion of the »Baptist and Christian
churches of Hermiston which was
launched about two
and a half
monthB ago was taken Sunday at a
meeting of the members of the two
bodies held in the Baptist church
when a recommendation was passed
that the name of the new body be
the Baptist-Christian church of Her
miston.
Sunday's action followed a dinner
at the noon hour and a discussion
in which expressions were sought
and secured from members of both
bodies.
Rev. A. J. Ware, pastor,
served as chairman of the meeting.
The two congregations have been
holding Joint services in the Bap
tist church since the movement was
launched, and this practice is ex
pected to be continued.
Sunday’s action consisted of a
motion recommending to each con
gregation that the compound name
be adopted. Final adoption will
rest with the individual bodies. Con
sideration of the recommendation is
expected to be made within the next
week or two. The recommendation
was adopted without a dissenting
vote.

ITS MEN IN LOCAL FIELD
Orders were issued last week by
the Standard Oil Co. for transfers
that effect the personnel of the local
organization. Stanley M. Campbell,
for four years in charge of the local
station, has been transferred to Con
don and left Wednedsay to assume
his duties there. Mrs. Campbell
and Barbara will leave within a week
or 10 days to join him.
“I hate to leave, but it isn’t so far,
and I think I may be able to drive
over and meet some of the boys out
at the golf course pretty early a few
Sunday mornings," Mr. Campbell
laughingly remarked.
J. B "Butch” Moll of the local
station has also received notification
that he will be transferred during
this month to La Grande.
Both
families have made many friends who
regret their departure.
Plans of ihe company call for a one

He is expected within a short time.

The Boardman high school baseball
team defeated the local sluggers last
Friday on the local diamonds to the
tune of 12 to 6. Some costly errors
on the part of the locals in the first
three innings, along with some timely
hitting by the viators, netted them
six runs and gave them a lead that
they never relinquished.
The locals did not score until the
fourth inning when they annexed
three counters. Boardman Increased
their six run lead to 12 in the fifth,
sixth and seventh sessions, but the
Hermiston outfit did not give up un
til after their rally in the eighth
when they added three to their score.
Coach Waenta's students were not
able to connect with the slants of the
Boardman twlrler who had a lot more
than the cover on the ball. He had
speed, as well as curves, drops and
smoke balls and was doubly decept
ive with his southpaw throwing.
Errors proved more costly to the
locals than their inability to hit, how
ever, for the score book showed that
the Hermiston nine made only three
less hits than Boardman.
Bob Woodward umpired the game.
CATTLE DISEASE WILL BE
DISCUSSED BY DR. SIMS
In connection with tests that are

for infectious abortion during his
visit from today until Sunday, Dr.

college, will address a meeting of
dairy men and others interested at
the library Friday night at 8 o'clock.
Dr. Sims’ subject will be “Infec
tious abortion.” He will
discuss
the subject from the point of view
of a disease, its causes and methods
used to control it, and will also con
sider the economic phases of the
subject.
The Oregon veterlnaran is recog
nized as one of the leading authori
ties on the disease in the world. He
has devoted a great deal of time to
his studies, both scientific and in the
field of practical application, and is
credited with having made the most
comprehensive studies of any man
on the economic phase8 of the dis
ease.
