HIGH SCHOOL STU
DENTS ARE BUSY
Old Building Is Being Used
For Gymnasium Mid
Term Exams In 2Weeks.

The plate glass in one of the
doors at the south entrance was
broken accidentally last week
during the severe wind storm.
The glass was replaced Monday.
The Senior class will give two
plays this year, one on class
night and the other at commence
ment. 1t has not been definitely
decided yet what plays they will
present, but the public. can look
for some first class plays presen-
ted in first class manner.
The debates in the English VII
class are causing much excite
ment. The one given last Friday
on the question Of Resolved
that Heppner High School Needs
a Gymnasium" was won by the
negative, while that given Mon
day was a tie as to the number
of points made by each side, the
decision being given to the mega
tive. The question was, Re
solved that Oregon Should Adopt
Statewide Prohibition"
The principal gladdened the
hearts of the pupils Monday by
announcing that the mid-term
examinations would come in a
couple Of weeks and that the ex-
emption lists would be posted
some time this week. Of course
all those who expect their names
to appear on these lists do not
care about the near approach of
these exams, but on the faces of
those who do not expect exemp-
ton there is a seriousness which
does not become them.
The High School boys are rap
idly putting the rooms in the old
building in fine shape for the
gymnasium. Since securing the
old building for this purpose from
the school board the High School
has been in a ferment of excite
ment and everyone is very anx-
ious to have it put in shape for
use. The gymnastic apparatus
which was secured several years
ago by the Commercial Club has
been turned over to the board so
there will be very little need of
purchasing anything new in the
line of equipment.
The Heppner High boy and
girl basketball teams went down
to Lexington last Thursday and
played the two teams of Lexing-
ton High. The girls game re-
suited in favor of the Lexington
team, while the Heppner boys
carried off the big end of a "a to
10 score. After the games the
visitors were invited to sit down
to a fine banquet which had been
prepared in their honor by the
local high school. The trip was
made in a hay rack and was
greatly enjoyed by all who went
down. Everyone has much to
say in praise of the treatment
they received at the hands of the
neighboring high school and all
vow that we will reciprocate
when Lexington plays the return

POULTRY ASSOC|A.
ton HAS ELECTION
E. G. Noble Reelected
President and Frank Hall
Is Secretary-Reports.

The Morrow County Poultry
Association met on Friday even
ing last for the purpose of wind
ing up the business of the recent
show, to hear the reports and to
elect officers for the coming year.
The report of the secretary and
treasurer were handed in and
placed in the hands of a commit
tee to be checked over, and report
on the same will be given a the
next meeting which will be held
subject to the call of the presi-
dent.
As stated IN our last issue, this
second poultry show was a COM
plete success and the business in
connection Herewith has been
wound up in q very satisfactory
manner, all bills paid and arran-
gements ale being made to get
lined out for the next event.
A new set of officers have been
elected as follows: E. G. Noble,
president; L. w. Briggs, vice
president; Frank Hall, secretary;
d. C. Gurdane, supt,; John Bush
asst. supt.; w. R. Irwin, treasur-
er.
B. F. Keeney was chosen Judge
for the next show and the judg-
ing will be done by comparison.
This was the system followed at
the big Multnomah county show
this year and it proved very sat
isfactory
Special inducements are being
offered to the country poultry
raisers this season. 1t is the in
tention of the association to offer
a number of silver loving cups to
the chicken raisers of the county
outside of the corporate limits of
Heppner. These are to be prizes
that will be worthy of the best
efforts of the country people to
compete for, and it will also
bring them into line to receive
some of the cash prizes as well.
Heppner has been making q
special effort to get together birds
of high class and the country
fanciers have been timid in com.
peting. To avoid this in the fu
ture the association is going tt
offer these special prizes fol
which the poultry raisers Of
Heppner will be barred from
competing. The local raisers
will be offered additional lovinl
cups for which they can compete
and the show will be placed on
broader basis with the view o.
making it of more general inter
est.
In comparison with othe
shows of the Northwest it il

know that Heppner had the bes
of the most of them. Our SHOW
was not as large as some but tn

OUR NAVAL CODE BOOK.
Jeaiously Guarded signal Secrets That
Are Bound In Metal.

Jeaiouely Guarded Sl9nai oeoteH '"S'
Are Bound In Metal
Few things are so jealously guarded
as the secret code book OF the United
States navy. 1t Is a book Of signals
not the ordinary "wlgwag" signals
used In the daily direction OF the fleet
by q commanding officer-but u code
Of signals to be used solely In time OF
war and In the presence OF an enemy.
These secret code books are issued
only to the executive officers OF ship
who are enjoined to protect them
against theft by every possible means
These books are threatened not so
much by the ordinary thief as by sec
ret emlssaries of other governments
who desire to obtain knowledge OF
what the battleships would do In time
of action. Governments have no scru-
pies against theft In such cases.
The loss of one of these secret books
by an officer, unless explained to the
entire satisfaction OF the secretary OF
the navy, would mean court martial
and probable expulsion from the sery-
fee. To the honor Of the United States
service no officer has ever yet been
brought up charged with loss.
The books are bound In heavy metal
covers, so that In time OF threatened
capture they may be thrown overheard.

A Queer Legal Precedent.

Mr.. Justice Holmes has the reputa-
tion OF citing more peculiar cases from
the old lawbooks than any other mem
ber Of the supreme court. He dug up
one recently to the amusement OF his
associates, when It was contended In
. a libel suit that the declaration was In
sufficient because the offenses were
not stated properly.
THAT leads me TO recall a case In
the old books" said the justice. where
an Indictment set forth that the ac-
cused struck man on the head, split
ting the skull until portion fell down
on either shoulder. and the court held
the indictment defective because It did
not allege that the man was killed"
The justice observed that 1t was a
hair splitting decision and he didn't in.
