The report cards for the month of
October were given out Wednesday
afternoon, and the hum and buzz
around the assembly room just after
they were received was good indi-
cation of the interest that is being
manifested by the students in their
studies, or especially their grades.

EASTERN OREGON MAN FOR
SENATOR.

Robert N. Stanfield, of Stanfield,
Umatilla county, has thrown his hat
in the ring for United States Senator.
Rumor has of late been connecting
the name of Mr.. Stanfield with the Of
flee of Governor, and We had been
looking for the announcement almost
any day that he had entered the race
for nomination to this Office. He had
also been mentioned by his friends as
possible timber for the senatorial
race, and now We are able to an
nounce, officially. that he has entered
the race for the republican nomina-
tion to the United States Senate.
We shall not have any hesitancy in
supporting Mr.. Stanfield for this po-
sition. He is eminently fitted for the
place, and being an Eastern Oregon
product, he is entitled to unanimous
support from his party at the primar-
les, and also the general election.

In the Red Cross drive for funds
for war work, Morrow county sub
scribed 5,629.73. Of this amount
$45S9.25 was pledges, payable in
monthly installments, usually. In
many cases, however, terms of pay
ment were made to suit the conve-
nience of the subscriber and great
many made their pledges payable Dec
/, 1917 and Jan. l, 1918.
To the credit of Morrow county il
may be said that small proportion
only, of these pledges remain unpaid
and it is confidently expected that af
ter December 1st the greater portion
of these will have been paid.
The amount of unpaid pledges al
this time, as furnished this paper by
! Chairman NJ. D. Clark, is as follows

works of humanity in the future,

The high school appreciates very
much the support which was given
the football game last Saturday, and
believe that everyone who attended
the game, felt well repaid for the
small amount paid for admission. The
students expect to have more games
at Heppner In the future and believe
that the people of Heppner will not
be backward in giving the same
whole hearted support to these that
! they did before.
The high school is planning to give
a play in the early part of December.
We are sorry to report the sickness
of Miss Flora Barlow, who is in the
hospital. She is getting along nicely
at this time.

OUR SOLDIERS IN. FRANCE

The selection of young men fol
army service is serious and an i'm
portant matter. The first step in the
great draft was the registration of all
men between the ages Of twenty-one
and thirty-one years. Already we
have some forty thousand soldiers OF
our regular army in France.
In the days of our revolution
French soldiers fought with US for
our independence and helped US to
win. Nearly 140 years later we are
called upon to fight with France for
the preservation of French indepen-
dence and nationality.
1t is a reciprocation of egort, with
this difference-one was to establish
new nation, the other is to preserve
an old nation, now a republic, against
subjugation by a cruel autocracy.
The terrible sorrows of Belgium,
enslaved by the heartless Hun in vi
olation of treaty obligation, of de-
spoiled and desecrated France that
stood by us in direful emergency,
have appealed to the chivalry and
sympathy of Americans.
Soon, unless the peace that no one
looks for comes sooner than even the
most optimistic imagine, thusands Of
our young men will be crossing the
ocean, through submarine infested
zones, to fight for the United States
upon the soil of France.
Doubtless a fair proportion of those
who go would prefer to remain at
home. or they would have enlisted,
when they had the choice of the
branch of service they preferred. But
once under the colors we know they
can be depende dupon.
We are satisfied that our allies will
not be abe to boast of Drawer soldiers
than those who have been picked by
the agency of the selectrive draft.

sympathy and help we can give them
