Editor Gazette-Times:

Editor Gazette-Times:
Since coming to this land of sun
shine we have enjoyed the visits OF
your paper which keeps us in touch
with Heppner and Morrow County.
1t is real pleasure to hear from our
old-time friends.
San Diego is center of war prep
arations. At Balboa Park We have
several thousand sailors and marines
in training beside several companies
of the 21st Infantry. At North, Is
land, just across the bay, is the avia-
ton school. Camp Kearney, IS miles
from the city, has a soldier popula-
tion of about $4,000.
Morrow County has sent fine del
egation of boys into the service. We
have met a number of them here.
There may be others in camp that We
have not seen. If so, and they should
see this letter, hope they will call
at 1444 Lincoln Ave. where the latch
string is always out to the enlisted
men.
University Christian Church, which
we serve, is within walking distance
of Balboa Park. A large number OF
soldiers and sailors attend our meet
ings.
With best wishes to the Gazette
Times force and all Morrow County
friends, Yours very truly,
T. s. HANDSAKER.

tion Of that idea.
Pastors Noyes and Andrews turned
over the meeting to the boys, and
Vawter Crawford Jr.. presided and
Norton E. Winnard read the scrip
ture lesson. while number of boys
and young men occupied the quoir
loft and lifted their. voices in hymns
and songs. ...t .....
Leo Nicholson gave a short address
on the "Y. M. c. A. Triangle and Cit
izenship," setting forth the work and
high aims of the Y. M. C. A.
T. E. Chidsey spoke on THE Ideal
Son" while Garnet Barratt presented
the Ideal Father and sustained his
reputation as successful platform
speaker. Rev. Andrews directed at
tention to the heroes Of the past in

ed with number of views touching
on the life of Washington and his
torical facts pertaining to the Revo-

FARM LABOR SUR
VEY MADE By AGENT
Uniform Wages for Morrow County
Farmers Plan Meeting.

The crop and labor survey that
was taken throughout Oregon last
week is still in progress in this coun-
ty and from all indications a large
percentage of the farmers have filled
In and returned their questionnaires.
The larger share of the work was in
the hands of the school teachers and
children who in many cases went out
OF their way to see that every family
received a blank. Through some err
ror no blanks were received for Hep
pner or Lexington so returns from
those places will be late. ga
While the county agent was assis-
ting in the survey he took time to
discuss with some of the leading far
mers the question of labor for the
coming year. Since our Office is to
be used as free employment bur-
eau during the year we hoped that
some action could be taken to adopt
a uniform scale of wages. Many Of

tion and urged meeting at the time
the Morrow County Agricultural
Council is formed and in this way
make plans for meeting the other
problems as they may develop.
One car of Early Baart wheat has
been ordered for Heppner and part
of car listed for Lexington, this
will be ordered just as soon as en-
ough is listed to warrant the pur-,
chase of full car
Since the work of the county agent
requires him to be out most Of the
time, arrangements have been made
to stay in the Office all day each We'd.
nesday.. This will enable those wish.
ing to see the agent personally to-
know when to find him at home,-
Saturday will also be kept as Office
day whenever possible. +.

Heppner high school but now with

Morgan Woman Suicide.

Melancholy, produced by i'll health
and grief was responsible for Mrs

life Friday, February Is. This was
the verdict of the coroner NJ. L. Case
Of Heppner,, who was called to the
scene Of death. ,........

upon making an examination, an
nounced that the woman had brought
about her own death by taking stry-
chnine. .t,.. q.
Mrs. Emerson, had been in i'll
health for some time and it is be-
lieved that her physical condition fin
ally led to mental arrangement. Pa
pers found in her room by Coroner
Case showed clearly the woman's 5
state of mind and the case was one of
plain suicide.
1t is said the deceased woman lea
yes two small children in the East
and that one of the last acts she per-
formed before taking the deadly med
icine, was to send money order aw-
ay for some things she wished to have
sent to her children. 1t is also be-
lieved that she secured the strychnine
at the home Of neighbor.
Burial was made in the cemetery
at Morgan. The deceased was be-
tween 25 and 80 years of age and all
who shared her acquaintance say she
was a woman above average intel
ligence and was possessed of the most
kindly disposition.

CECIL L'sCOWBOY DANCE
WAS BIG SUCCESS

The Stockmen's and Cowpunchers'
dance at Cecil last Saturday night
was well attended and a, complete
success in every detail. This was
the report Of the many Heppner peo-
pie who attended as we'll as the statc
ment of A. Henriksen. the man who
was responsible for putting it over"
Mr.. Henriksen took 2 long chance
and guaranteed the railroad company
that he would buy . certain numbe.
Of tickets whether he could fina any
one to ride on those tickets or not.
But the fact that Mrs. T. H. Lowe
fed over two hundred people some
where along about midnight is in
itself proof sufficient that the guarana
tee made by Mr.. Henriksen was we'll
sustained.
The dance started about eight thir-
ty In the evening and some of the
crowd were still tripping the light
fantastic as the rays Of Aurora came
over the eastern hill. There we're
cowboys and cowgirls much in evi-
dence and the clanking spur kept time
to the music furnished by Parsons
orchestra.
For the ugliest ana meanest look
ing cowboy Of the bunch, Joe White,
famous buckaroo, bull rider and cit
izen of Willows which is located
near Heppner Junction. took the first
prize. Competition was keen in this
event but after the votes had all been
counted 1t was found that after all
White was the easy victor. For the
best dressed cowgirl at the dance, the
first prize was awarded to Mrs. Carl
Yount of lone and Oral Henriksen of
Cecil was voted the best dressed cow
boy of the evening.
Mr.. Henriksen is enthusiastic over
the result of the entire affair, saying
the order was of the best during the
evening. He also Is loud in his praise
Of the support given by Heppner, Lex
ington, and lone; and says Cecil can
always count good and strong on
these towns when there is anything
doing down Cecil way. Mr.. Henrik
sen announced that there would be
a neat sum to turn over. to the Cecil
auxiliary of the Red Cross.
Another feature Of the evening was
the lunch servel by Mrs. Lowe. II
anyone went hungry 1t was not the
fault of this good woman.
