High School Party.

The first high school party of the
season was given last Saturday
night. Owing to the excellent man
agement of the committees, it was
one grand success. By eight-thirty
about seventy of us were assembled
in the lower hall, which was taste
fully decorated with corn stalks and
pumpkins. Several lively games
were played and then we adjourned
to the auditorium. Here we were en-
tertained by sevral members of the
faculty and the student body. The
address of welcome was made by the
president of the student body, Thorn
as Hughes. This was followed by a
humorous reading by Neva Hayes.
Ruth Van Vactor read ghost story,
one Of the kind that fairly makes
your hair stand on end. Loa Briggs
rendered an instrumental solo and
Henry Peterson sang two Swedish
songs. Professor Motley made a
speech upon our football outlook.
He was followed by David Wilson and
Kennon Smith, manager and captain
respectively of the football team. The
football team gave a yell that fairly
made the roof shake, and then we
listened to some very pleasing mus
ical numbers by the male quartet and
the Freshman girls quartet. The
program was concluded by a yell
which was indulged in by the entire
student body. Every number OF the
program was filed with spirit and en-
thusiasm and gained lots of applause
from the audience.
A flash light picture was taken In
the lower hall and then we all went
up stairs where splendid banquet
was spread. BY the time we had
done justice to this and played sew
eral more games, the hour had be-
come late, so we departed for our
various homes having had one of tie
best times of our lives.

BIRTHS AND DEATHS
MUST Be REPORTED
tate Health Officer Will Enforce New
Law BY Aid of Local Registrars.
DIR. II. 7. Allison Registrar
For Morrow County

DR.. David N. Roberg, new state
health officer, was in Heppner last
week on official business. DR.. Ro-
berg is travelling all over the state of
Oregon appointing local registrars of
vital statistics. Dr. II. T. Allison of
this city was appointed by DR.. Roberg
as local registrar. Dr. Allison is also
county health officer.
Under the new law recently enact
ed it becomes absolutely necessary
for all physicians and mid-wives to
report births and deaths to the local
registrar Births must be reported
within ten days after and in case of
death, certificate must be made out
by the attending physician and pre-
sented to the local registrar for a
burial permit before interment can
take place. This new law is import
ant to every one from the fact that
in cases of births or deaths where
there is no attending physician in
charge, the same must be reported by
some member of the family. The
law provides for rigid penalty for
anyone failing to report. The main
object of this law is to make a uni
form and correct record of vital sta
tistics. Until recent years this coun-
try has been very deficient in possess
| ing a uniform system of registration
of births and deaths This has caused
great wonderment in European coun-
tries, where uniform registration sys-
TENS have been in vogue for many
years.
The principal advantages of the
bill are, first, gives legal record for
the protection of the rights of indi-
viduals, especially the more helpless
classes, women and children. For
Court purposes. Second, sanitary
records of the prevalence of disease
is absolutely necessary for the effec-
tive work of all public health services
city, state and national. Third, a
knowledge of the character and
movement of population, essential
for enlightened legislation and the
growth of the United States.
This county has been divided into
4 primary registration districts,
Heppner, Hardman, lone and Irrigon
The Heppner district includes the
voting precincts of Lexington, Mt.
Vernon, Gentry, Heppner, Matteson,
Lena and Pine City All births and
deaths should be reported to the
county physician or local registrar,
DR.. H. T. Allison.
Let us repeat in closing that the
law is an act making the registra-
tion of births and deaths compulsory
by law.
DIR. H. T. ALLISON,
County Physician.

PENDLETON WILL Be
HOST TO SHEEPMEN
Call Has Been Made For State Wool
Men to Meet December o and 10.
The call for the 18th annual con-

The call for the 18th annual con-
vention of the Oregon Wool Grow
ers' association has been made by
President F. w. Falconer of Enter
prise and Secretary John G. Hoke of
Medical Springs to meet at Pendle-
ton on December 8 and TO-
The wool growers of Oregon have
experienced the best year in the his
tory of the organization, and at this
meeting subjects will be discussed as
follows Sheep breeding and wool
growing; sheep feeding preparation
and marketing of wool; the remain
ing public lands; grazing in national
forests; destruction of predatory wild
animals; railroad rates and service;
livestock finance and needed legisla-
tion.
With ewes selling at 81 head on
ranges and with lambs being con-
tracted for at IS, 81 more than a
year ago, the sheepmen appreciate
the fact that losses from carniyorous
wild animals will be more serious
than ever in the future. Congress
has not provided adequate legislation
against wild animals, and it is up to
the sheepmen to exert pressure for
the enactment of protection laws,
the call says. Along with protection
from predatory animals, sheepmen
are now eager to enlarge their tiocks,
and are desrous of obtaining great
er assurance of adequate grazing IA
cilities on federal holdings. They
have witnessed the migration OF set
tiers to traces which should never
have been removed from the grazing
areas allotted to flocks. With some
congressman urging land legislation
which may enable individual settlers
to obtain 640-acre tracts in the west,
the problem of adequate grazing ia
cilities becomes more serious. Sheep
men will profit by any action that
will insure a clearer understanding
of their position by the senators and
representatives in whose hands the
future of the federal domain in the
west rests.
1t seems that there is at least some
occasion for making this meeting a
jollifcation meeting, but the sheep
men are of different mind. They
have had many years of adversely and
now realize the responsibilities Of the
further development of their bust
ness.
The shortage this year is making
all feeders desirous of expansion in
range breeding operations. This can
be accomplished only through more
secure range conditions, which prob
ably will be the principal object
sought by sheepmen of Oregon in the
next year
We are also desirous Of having q
law that will compel manufacturers
to label all cloth with the amount OF
pure fleece wool it contains.
In order to accomplish the many
things before the sheepmen it is uT
to them to attend this meeting and
make it bigger and better than ever
before.
Yours for a successful meeting al

LEXINGTON TAKES 10.
CAL TEAM INTO CAMP
Injury to Hughes Early in the Game
Proves Disastrous to Heppner---
Campbell Carries Ball Over
After Recovered tumble.

The Lexington high school football
team climbed one step higher on the
ladder of the Morrow County Inter-
scholastic League championship last
Saturday when they defeated Hepp-
ner 7 to 0. The score came in the
second quarter, when A. Campbell re-
covered tumble and raced half the
length of the field for touchdown.
The goal kick proved successful. Lex
ington had nearly scored prior to this
when they put the ball over Hepp-
ner's goal line but were penalized Is
yards by referee Rood for pushing.
Hughes was the most consistent
yardage maker for Heppner, but an
injury to his left shoulder early in
the game all but put him out of COM
mission. The game, for the greater
part was a see-saw proposition with
honors about evenly divided. Both
teams displayed flashes of brilliancy
at times. Lexington displayed marked
Improvement over the playing in the
early season games.
By winning Saturdays game,
coach Barton's men stand an ex-
cellent chance for the championship,
now being tied with lone for first
place. Should Heppner defeat lone
in their next contest, it will be rath-
er hard to settle on the champions,
and will have to be figured out on
points rather than games won.

Horse Probably Committed Suicide

Dick Howard, the local veterinar-
ian, was showing us this week the
head of horse which had probably
been dead about two years. The
lower Jaw bone of this animal had
been cut nearly half through by the
continual grinding of an upper jaw
tooth. On account Of this long TOOTH
all the others in the animals Jaws
were terribly worn down. That TINS
horse must have suffered terribly
during his last few years on earth Is
evident. Had his owner looked INTO
the condition of this animals teeth
the suffering could have been allie
waited and a good horse saved, ac-
cording to Mr. Howard. The horse
like man, must have good teeth or
poor health is bound to come.
