Are Some of the Women of Heppner
Red Cross SlaCkers?

Are Some of the Women of Heppner
/ Red Cross SlaCkers?
Are some of the women of Hepp-
ner Red Cross slackers? This is the
question local Red Cross officials
have been asking each other for sew
eral weeks. A number of the faith
full have been on hand every sewing
day at the Red Cross headquarters,
Others drop in now and then for
good, conscientious work while there
are still greater number who seem
not to know that we are at war with
Germany, that there in France are
our boys by the hundreds of thou
sands and that here at home there is
a Red Cross organization which is
working overtime to help bring those
boys back home to relatives and
friends.
Mrs. Phil Cohn, president of the
Morrow County Red Cross Chapter
would have greater number of To-
cal women take an interest in the
work. If possible, in the event of a
greater number participating in the
work, sewing squads could be formed
and then it would not be necessary
for the same women to go to head
quarters every sewing day to get "a
way with the work. Many hands
make light work. and this is the
idea that every woman in Heppner
should grasp. The 'faithfuls" are
not going to quit. The work is far
too important and too badly needed
to lay down, but more Of the women
should take an interest. Commodi |
Gus sewing and cutting rooms have
been fitted up in the Natter building
on the upper end of Main street and
the women find it a nice place in
which to work.
Those who were present for the
sewing last Friday were
Mrs. John Her, Mrs. J. l.. wilkins,
Mrs. c. E. Jones, Mrs. VIM. LeTrace,
Mrs. Lorena Buschke, Mrs. Stacy

Would Buy Morrow County Farm.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. F. Feldman, recent
arrivals from San Jose, Calf, were
visitors in Heppner on Tuesday from
lone, in company with Mrs. C. c.
Chick and son Charles. These peo-
pie have come to Morrow county with
view to getting small farm if they
can locate what suits them. While
they have been here but few days
they are very much impressed with
the country and its opportunities and
hope to be able to find the kind of
proposition they are looking for and
to become permanent residents of the
county. We acknowledge pleasant
call from these people and trust they
may eventually become permanently
located here

Sells Body of Wheat Land.

Roy V. Whites this week closed a
deal with Sam and Ben Brown for a
body of wheat land, consisting of 4SO
acres and known as the Baron place
and lying near the lands now owned
and farmed by the Brown boys some
eight or nine miles northeast of Lex
ington. This is good piece of farm
land that has laid idle for a number
OF years and the new owners will pro-
coed to put the lands under cultiva-
tion. It makes a valuable addition
to the farm already owned by these
people.
