sity of pure food, and the nutritive
value of various ingredients. The
girls wear their white aprons and caps
about their work. The children are,
some of them, too small to reach the
table and the row of gas burners; so
they have little platforms to stand on
while they work. The cooking class is
the one they go to most eagerly and
leave most reluctantly.
Thus do these little women prepare

SUDAN CRASSMAKESC0OD
CROP On DRY LAND FARM
A. b. Strait, West of lone, Demon.
startes That There Are Other
Good Crops For This Sec
ton Besides Wheat.

A. B. Strait, who farms on the old
st. Clair ranch, 9 miles west of lone
has been conducting an experiment
farm all his own the past three years
and from his experiments has arrived
at the conclusion that the dry LAND
sections of this county will produce
excellent Sudan grass. Not only will
this grass grow in abundance, but
winter vetch, Egyptian corn, FEEDER
eta grass and the Tepeary bean will
do as we'll.
Il believe Sudan grass will pro-
duce two tons to the acre per year,
said Mr.. Strait in a recent interview
sit will produce from two to three
crops every year and affords excellent
pasture after the grass is cut off
This grass has proven to me that it
will withstand severe frosts. Some
of the grass from seeds planted in
March was an inch and half high
when the late frosts came in May,
freezing the water in the troughs on
the place to depth of fully an eighth
of an inch, yet this grass was not
damaged a particle. -
That Sudan grass makes rapid
growth, is shown by the fact that it
made a growth of 20 inches in 81
days after the first cutting. Mr.. Strait
asserts that this remarkable grass
will mature hay crop in 70 days.
Mr.. Strait has tried out the FEEDER
eta grass and has had good success.
He recommends this grain and fod-
der crop very highly Winter vetch
and Egyptian corn also do we'll. Mr..
Strait, in preparing his land for corn
planting. states that he narrowed it
fve times prior to sowing and the re-
suits were that he raised corn over
five feet high. That was last year,
and although there was more mois-
ture, he is of the opinion that good
results may be obtained any year if
the land is properly farmed. His re-
suits this year were not as good, be-
cause, as he says, he didn't have time
to farm all his land and farm it we'll.
Anyone desiring to see some of the
results of Mr.. Straits experimenting,
may see a fine specimen OF Sudan
grass, which is on display at the Ga
zetteTimes Office. He also has some
excellent seed for sale to those who
would give this grass trial. Mr..
Strait plans to have enough seed from
these new crops to supply the local
demand. His postotfce address is
lone.

COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES

The Governor has designated Octo-
Der as Fire Prevention Day. All
schools are urged to devote a part of
the day to the study of methods of
preventing fires. This study should
include the prevention of forest fires.
Every teacher should write to Sec
'retary of State Olcott, Salem, for a
copy of the new blue book for the
school library This book contains
much valuable information, and there
should be copy in every school H.
brary. The book will be sent free.
Considering the season, the club
workers made an excellent showing
at the county fair. The clubs should
begin planning for the next years
work. We hope to have Mr.. Maris
with us sometime this fall. We will
not be SO late in getting under way
the club work. However, we should
not wait for Mr.. Maris to come, but
begin at once. Mr.. Maris thinks that
more attention should be given to
the canning project. We had some
fine exhibits along this line this year,
but we can do better next year. 1t
is to be hoped that more attention
will be given to the poultry club
work. When we remember that in
the year 1914 Oregon produced 49,
100000 bushels of wheat which was
worth at the prevailing prices $751;
500, 100000, we think that grain rails
ing has some relation to our prosper
ity, and so it has. But when we re-
member that in 1914 the Oregon hen
produced 1S0,000,00O dozen eggs,
which were worth $26,O00, 100000,
we may justly conclude that the poul-
try business amounts to something.
And when we add to this the $24,-
$50, 100000 from the sale Of poultry,
we see that wheat is only "side is
sue" in our prosperity as state. No
part of the State Is more suitable for
the poultry business than is this
county. Not only that, but this is a
line of work we'll suited to both boys
and girls. The sewing and mechan-
ical lines Of work will undoubtedly
receive much attention this year.
Just word as to motive, While

$50 PEOPLE CELEBRATE AT THE
RICE ARTESIAN WELL ON SUNDAY
O-W R. & N OFFICIALS TAKE PART IN CERE-
MONIES---MR. AND MRS. NEWL ON CROWNED
WATER KING AND QUEEN OF COUNTY.

Every well like this is worth
100000 to Morrow county and will
produce water sufficient to irrigate
GAO acres of land" Thus spoke
! Farmer c. l.. Smith, agricultural ex-
pert of the Oregon Washington Rail-
road & Navigation Co., to the 45O
people who were assembled at the
Newton artesian we'll on the r. B..
Rice farm last Sunday to celebrate in
fitting manner the discovery of this
wonderful flow of water. Water
enough to irrigate $40 acres of land
explained Mr.. Smith, doesn't mean
sufficient water to literally flood that
many acres, but it does mean suffi-
cient water to produce an abundance
of crops. Farmer Smith paid high
tribute to Mr.. and Mrs. Newton, for
their perseverance which finally re-
suited in their opening up this well,
and in glowing terms described what
this dry land section of the county
will now become with the arrival of
irrigating facilities. Mr. Smith stated
that he had been very close to the
Newlons in their work the past two
years and had on different occasions
visited them during the progress of
their work and had always held the
same opinion as they, that the water
was there; all there needed to be
done was to open it up. This is the
best thing that has ever been done
for Morrow county," concluded Far
mer Smith, land the good which will
result in the next ten years will be
tenfold."
VIM. McMurray, general passenger
agent of the O-W. r. & N. Co., had
charge of the ceremonies for the day
and acted in the capacity of chair
man. Mr.. McMurray said that the
telegram from ]. b. Huddleston to
the Portland Office, telling of the dis
covery of artesian water in Morrow
county was the best news that had
come into that Office in many a day.
That this company has not been slow
in realizing the value which will re-
suit to themselves as we'll as to the
country, is shown by the fact that
four of their biggest men were pres
ent Sunday to participate in the Gel
ebration. H. E. Lounsbury, general
greight agent for the company was
introduced to the celebrationists fol-
lowing the address of Mr. Smith and
told of the relation Of the railroad to
the people, showing that the progress
and prosperity of both depend large
ly upon what can be produced from
the soil, This naturally reverted back
to the we'll, which was all the time
gushing forth, thereby giving food for
thought and enthusiasm to the speak
ers. AS Farmer Smith said, "the we'll

HIGH SCHOOL PARAGRAPHS
Loren Mikesell.

Representatives from the Heppner,
lone and Lexington high schools met
at Lexington last Saturday to arrange
an athletic schedule for the present
school year.
A tentative schedule for football
was arranged as follows:
lone at Lexington, October 8; Lex
ington at Heppner, October 16;
Heppner at lone. October %; Hepp-
ner at Lexington, October 80; Lex
ington at lone, November g. lone at
Heppner, November 13.
The basket ball schedule of six
games Is being arranged by lone.
Heppner is arranging the base ball
schedule, which will also consist of
six games. The tennis tournament
is to be held at Lexington and the
track meet at Heppner.
Arrangements were made for the
expenses of the various teams. Ar
thur Crawford and Emery Hiatt Of
Heppner, M. E. Rood and Chas. Poin-
ter of Lexington. and Brown and
Fayne Coshow of lone were chosen
as officials for football.
Two trophies, one for football and
one for basketball will be put up by
the association. These pennants are
to become the permanent property
of any school winning two successive
years.
Prof. Motley, the delegate from
Heppner, advocated system of ele-
gibility similar to the one agreed to
by Heppner and lone last year, name
ly, extended age limit. lone, however,
having no one in school over twenty
yeas old, could not see the advantage
of these terms, so negotiations hung
at this point. The Heppner high
school athletic association held
meeting yesterday to reconsider the
matter and finally arrived at the con-
clusion that they would sustain their
former decision even If 1t were neces-
sary to bring in outside teams to do
so.
Only one or two more seats remain
vacant in the high school auditorium
and several new students intend to
enroll next week.
The girls met Tuesday evening and
organized their basket ball team.
Prof. Motley was elected coach, Altha
Devin captain, and the following
signed up as players: Ethel Smith,
Cecile Devore, Loye Devore, Neva
Hayes, Cecile Stephens, Marcia Win
nard, Evelyn Shipley, Muriel Nc
Carly, Loa Briggs, Alma Akers,
Laurranah Groshens, Altha Devin,
Gladys Wattenburger and Flossie

FOOTBALL OUTLOOK BAD

The outlook for good high school
football team which seemed 50 prom
ising at the beginning of the year,
has been growing steadily more
gloomy and the climax was reached
last Tuesday evening, when one man
turned out for practice. The failure
of several men of last years squad,
who were expected to return this year
together with the inexperience and
lack of weight OF this years squad
make high school football stock seem
a poor investment.
Clarence Scriyner and Ed Clark,
both of whom will average 1870 lbs,
and who would probably have been
permanent fixtures at tackle, will
possibly be out of the game, due to
the facts that the former meets par
entail objection, and the latter can
not arrange for practice at the hours
at which it is held McCraw, 162
lbs.) who was working at guard, is
out of the game with ruptured mus
Gle in the upper portion of his leg.
Aiken (132 lbs.) at tackle is also on
the sick list with wrenched knee.
David Wilson, (134 lbs.), who was
trying out at end, is out of the game
for the season with a weak ankle.
His place was filed tonight by Edgar
Copenhayer Obs lbs.), who is play
ing his first season at the game. Sew
eral other members of the squad are
suffering from minor injuries but to
the observer, the worst difficulty did
not seem to be as much the physical
condition of the men as the spirit
with which they went at it. Over all
there was an atmosphere of listless-
ness and disinterest, many of the
men walking thru the signals.
In regard to the method of play,
the old defence of nine men on the
line of scrimmage seems a little out
OF date in view of the recent move
for open play. The direct pass which
was used at the beginning of the sea-
son is to be discarded in favor of the
more simple pass Of center to quar-
terback to man carrying ball. The
only Illuminating feature Of the
whole practice was the excellent pass
ing OF some of the players. The very
long forward pass, almost parallel to
the line of serimmage. which was
used by the Oregon colleges last year,
is to be feature Of the Heppner Of
fence this year, and in this depart
ment alone do they display any spec
ial ability.

The Man Who Sticks.
(By Charles Barrett)

The man who sticks has this lesson
learned:
Success don't come by chance-it's s
earned
By pounding away; for good hard
knocks
Will make stepping stones of the
stumbling blocks.
He knows in his heart that he cannot
fail,
That no ill-fortune can make him
quail
While his will is strong and his cour-
age high,
For he's always good for another try.
He doesn't believe he's held down by
the boss
It's work, and not favor, that "gets
across"
So his motto is this: What another
Has been able to handle, l surely
can"
For the man who sticks has the sense
to see
He can make himself what he wants
to be
If he'll off with his coat and pitch
right in
Why, the man who sticks, can't help
but win.
"That's Newton"

Mrs. Winnard Entertains.

A most enjoyable time was spent
by number of friends of DR.. and
Mrs. N. Z. Winnard at their home
last evening, the party being in hon
or of Mrs. Winnard's father, H. P.
Goodman, who is visiting his rel
atives in Heppner. The affair was
largely musical, it being Mrs. Win
nard's desire that the music loving
people of the city have an opportun-
ity to meet her father and hear him
sing, and that he might likewise hear
Heppner's talent. Mr.. Goodman is
hale and hearty at the age of seventy
two and to hear him sing one would
surely think him many years young
er. Despite the fact that he was suf-
fering from cold, he sang more than
any of the younger guests. He has
a very rare sweet tenor voice which
has mellowed with age. Mr.. Good
man served as drummer boy in the
civil war. He had his drum on hand
at the party last night and played
many of the stirring steps that urged
the boys of 81 on to battle. At a
late hour refreshments consisting of
sherbet and waters were served, after
which the guests departed. Those
present we're:
H. P. Goodman, Whitewater, Wis
consin; Mr.. and Mrs. C. A. Minor,
Mr.. and Mrs. w. o. Hill, Mr.. and
