transpires also, that quite a number
Of the Butter creek residents had con-
tributed to the Umatilla county COM
mittee before our workers had gotten
eSbund. These conditions were some
whit adverse as to this section, but
thar showing is good just the same.
Il is not necessary to make special
mention of the WORK done by the
Heppner contingent; what they
TUNED In peaks louder than words,
and this is true of other parts of the
county as every section came across"
and they expect to continue to do so.
In this connection it is not out of
place to state that the work of the
Morrow County Committee will be
made permanent. The great work
to be accomplished by the Y. M. C. A.
with the troops at the various fronts
and in the prison camps is only just
beginning. We quote telegram re-
ceived by Chairman Clark from John
r Mott, general secretary of Y. M.
c. A. War Work:
Results from this campaign will
hearten our allies, France, Italy, Bel
gium and Great Britain and cheer six
million lonely prisoners. Put forth
united and supreme effort to sweep
far beyond goal. Developments since
our original budget was adopted
make it absolutely essential that We
have far greater sum available. re-
fer first, to the alarming situation on
Eastern and Southern fronts, neces-
stating prompt extension Of our ac-
tiyities in these regions. Secondly,
appeal from French prime minister
that we take charge of 1900 soldiers
homes for French arms of 1000, 900
men requires for this item alone an
increase Of 100000 in adopted
budget. Thirdly, confidential re-
qqeSt from another great Ally's ar
ny Tor large help. Fourthly, the re-
cent great increase in number of war
prisoners to be served by us. and
filthy, changes in plans of our own
Government which make 1t clear that
we will have much more to do for
American troops than contemplated.
May God help US to achieve the i'm
possible.
This gives some idea of the i'm
mensity of the job that the Army and
Navy Y. M. c. A. have before them
to accomplish, and is grounds for the
statement that the work now organic
ed will be made permanent. This
great work must 60 on and our boys
cared for as they can be through no
other agency while this terrible war
is in progress.

Y. N. {. A. COMMITTEE
EXTENDS THEIR THANKS

The Executive Committee of the
Morrow County War Work Fund of
the Y. M. G.. A. desires to express
their deep appreciation of the splen-
did showing made by the people of
Morrow County in contributing so
cheerfully and generously for the
moral and physical welfare of our
soldier boys lover there somewhere
in France" as we'll as on this side of
the Atlantic.
The Committee feels deeply CRATE
full to Judge Phelps of Pendleton who
stood sponsor for Morrow County at
the Y. M. c. A. Convention in Port
land, and gave of his time to present
the Y. M. c. A. War Work to the peo-
pie of IIt ppner, Lexington and lone,
the good results being shown by the
generous contributions from all three
towns.
To the several speakers who vol
unteered their services in presenting
the War Work throughout the coun
ty, to the captains Of all the teams
and the ladies and gentlemen who
assisted them, to the people who gave
their automobiles, their time and SER
vices to promote the good work, and
to the newspapers who gave without
stint in the matter of publicity.
Our appreciation, however CRATE
full, is Of little moment as compared
to the satisfaction all must feel in the
realization that they have done their
bit toward excepting the Home fires
burning" in the breasts of the boys
who are heroically giving their all to
the cause of Humanity.

|. K. HARLAN DIES At
la GRANDE HOSPITAL

l.. K. Harlan, former publisher of
the Pilot Rock Record, died in the
Grand Rounde hospital at La Grande
on Saturday last after a short illness
with typhoid fever. He had but re-
Gently disposed of his interests in
Pilot Rock and gone to LaGrande to
take charge Of the mechanical de-
partment of the Observer and be-
came Ill q few days after reaching
there. His remains were taken to
Condor on Sunday and the funeral
was held on Monday.
Mr.. Harlan had been prominently
enagged in the newspaper business in
Eastern Oregon for a number of
years. He first came to Morrow coun-
ty in the spring of 1913 and began
the publishing of the lone Bulletin.
The following season he established
the Heppner Herald, which paper he
continued to own until disposing of
the same to s. A. Pattison. In the
meantime. he had taken over the Pi-
lot Rock Record and was its editor
and publisher for about two years.
Before coming to Morrow county Mr..
Harlan was interested in the Condor
Globe.
Mr.. Harlan took much interest in
athletics and was base ball player
of more thar ordinary ability, having
pitched many good games of ball in
Heppner, and also for Pendleton and
Pilot Rock. He was member of the
l. 0. 0. F. order in Heppner.
He leaves a wife and two small
children.

The committee at Boardman is still
at work They asked for an extern
sion of time owing to the fact that
the supplies were late in reaching
them and they had but one day in
which to do the work and get in their
report, and this did not give them
time to see all their people. At this
place ]. A. Gibbons and C. C. Paine
are doing the hustling. They will
swell Boardman's figures to nearly
double what is shown here, as they
do not want to be satisfied with less.
1t will be noted from the above re-
turns, that the towns Of lone, Lex
ington and Heppner have each re-
sponded well. This success can no
doubt be attributed in large measure
to the educational work performed
by Judge Phelps while here last
week. He spoke at these three
places in behalf of the Y. M. C. A.
War Work Fund and made practical
business talks that could not fail but
have beneficial effect. Fine work
was also performed at lone and Lex
ington, the former being in charge of
Billy Cronk and If you are at all skep-
tical as to whether the field was we'll
worked, take another look at the re-
turns above. Mr.. Cronk does not
sleep on the job and his work was
we'll done. At Lexington, w. G. Scott
took the matter in hand and put it
over by himself, and there is no one
that could have handled it better.
Mr.. Scott is especially proud of the
record made by the Lexington school.
He ELECTED their help and reports
that of the six teachers and ninety
pupils of the school, not one failed to
respond and he has every name on his
honor roll, their total contribution
amounting to $59.23.
This is a record to be proud of and
this paper hopes to be able to pub
lish the name of every one of these
donors. We are proud of them and
the Y. M. G. A. committee in this
county is proud of them and glad to
make public acknowledgment of
their splendid work.
At Pine City and Lena, the workers
were unfortunate in that the supplies
were not delivered promptly, and a
number of the workers were absent
and did not get an early start. In
this district, also, many of the resi-
dents had already given support to
the Knights of Columbus work, but
notwithstanding they also supported
the Y. M. c. A. work voluntarily, as
they were not especially solicited. 1t

MORO TAKES LOCAL
WARRIORS SCALPS

One of he closest and most eXcit-
ing football games ever witnessed in
Heppner took place on Saturday last
when the Moro football squad took
the Heppner boys scalps in the close
game of 20 to 10. Heppner started
the scoring in the early part of the
first quarter when they worked three
passes in succession for a touchdown.
The first pass was worked in a very
slick manner, Nicholson, one of the
back field men, hiding out on the side
line when the ball was put into play
and as soon as the ball was snapped
long forward pass was made to him
and large amount of yardage netted
to Heppner as result. The next
pass was worked in the same manner
when Kenny played the hiding stunt
and very nearly made touchdown,
being nabbed by a Moro warrior when
nearing the goal. The third pass was
also by the NicholsOn-Kenny route,
the ball being passed across the line.
and all Kenny had to do was to touch
It to the ground. Heppner tried
many more passes during the game
with very little success as Moro woke
up to the pass game.
Other scores made by Heppner
were gained by hard line plunging
mostly, although several end runs
and trick plays netted considerable
yardage at intervals. Crawford's line
plunging for Heppner was one of the
features of the game.
For Moro big Ellersly, a 2O0-lb.
chap, was the backbone of the team
and if it had not been for him Hepp-
ner would have encountered an easy
victory, but his line plunging was too
much for the Heppner lads. He re-
peatedly went through the Heppner
line for yardage. This alone did not
win the game for Moro though as the
short passes, Ellersly to Searcy,
worked for considerable yardage at
times. Young Searcy had knack of
pulling the pigskin out of the air
that 1t was impossible for the Hepp-
ner boys to account for.
From start to finish 1t was an excit-
ing and hardfought game. neither
side having the advantage of the 9TH
er for any length of time, although
Heppner had the big end of the score

touchdown, and after missing goal
the score stood 20 to 10. Another

On Saturday night after the foot
ball game the students of the High

in the evening and after having

against the wall and asked to give an

A Strong Letter from Gompers

I OF course il would be useless to

doubt that prohibition by law is an in
iqultOus proposition that carries within
its wake not only dcnials OF freedom,
fails to accomplish the purpose OF cur
ing the drink cvil-an evil admitted by
all-and that it (prohibition by law is
violative OF the fundamental principles OF
human freedom, that there is no agency

Improvement in the mental and physical
status OF our people and reduces to a

people involved, and without even Civ
ing the people Of the District OF Colum-

to any American congressman to con
