The Hermiston high school debate
team was awarded the cup for the
Eastern Oregon championship Sat
urday night at Corvallis, when they
appeared in a broadcast debate for
the state championship over radio
station KOAC. The team was defeat-
ed- in a 2 to 1 vote for the state
championship by a team from the
Medford high school which has won
for five consecutive years, and will
now retain the cup for winning the
state championship for three con
secutive years.
Members of the local team are
Edith Clarke and Don Serell, coach
ed by Henry Harger. They were ac
companied to Corvallis by Mr. and
Mrs. J. A. Clarke and Mrs. Harger.
It is thought the debate was lost
on delivery. The radio reception
here Saturday night during the
broadcast was fairly good, and many
local people heard the debate over
the air.
Harry W. Kelley of Hermiston,
democratic candidate for the nomi
nation of county commissioner for
Umatilla county, is a man who has
had experience which warrants the
support of voters. West end county
communities have not been repre
sented on the county court for sev
eral years, Mr. Kelley says, and he
feels that his experience in road
building will be a decided advan
tage in conducting the affairs of the
county if he is elected.
Mr. Kelley is a veteran of the
World War and has lived in Uma
tilla county for 20 years, which has
acquainted him with conditions in
the county, particularly the west
end. He is known over the county
and has been calling on voters in
the different localities.

"LITTLE WOMEN" SHOWING
HERE TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY.
"Little Women,” film transcrip
tion of the beloved story by Louisa
M. Alcott, has been breaking atten
dance records wherever It has been
shown throughout the United States,
attesting the hunger of the Ameri
can people for just such a produc
tion. The immense popularity of
Katherine Hepburn in the leading
role, following a sensational rise to
the heights of film favor tn three
pictures, also was considered an im
portant factor.
In the Oregonian following the
opening of this show in Portland,
Leone Cass Baer wrote the follow
ing review:
Under a heading which read in
part: "Play shows world not so aw
ful bad"; "Memories of good, whole-
some home life preserved in ’Little
Women,." Miss Baer began her re
view as follows:
“Oh, this old world isn't growing
so bad after all, when we, sophisti
cated to the point of horror on our
feeding of fiction rank as weeds,
poisonous as toadstools in damp,
dark places, sit on the lowest branch
of the old apple tree in memory’s
garden, smiling happily in delicious
simplicity of ‘Little Women.’
"Bless the memory of Louisa M.
Alcott!
“What bright, clean, joyous stor
ies she wrote!
"It is 45 years since "Little Wo
men' made its bow to the world, but
Its charm is fresh and fine and true.
The soul of youth immortal lives in
its lines. It is still heart-gripping
and tender, a heart idyl."
"Little Women” has been sur
rounded with a supporting program
which makes It eminently suitable
for family patronage.”
Bulldogs Lose Chamvionshiv.
The Bulldogs lost the county
baseball championship to Athena to-
day in a game on the local field, 6
