lone SUFFERS s75,0OOO0 LOSS IN FIRE

The lone business district was dam
aged to the extent of $4,000 in fire
which destroyed nearly two blocks
early Tuesday morning.
The fire was discovered by DR.. M.
w. Davis, who Immediately gave the
alarm. At that time the rear end OF
the Odd Fellows building was a mass
of flames and soon the fire had gained
great headway, threatening that en-
tire block. Firefighters with all the
means of combating the flames at
their command, were unable to check
its progress and soon the flames had
leaped the street and broken out in
tn C. #. Walker estate building,
which was occupied by the F. 8. Ben
der general store.
Then 1t was that the alarm was
sent to Heppner and aid called for, as
the entire town seemed threatened to
ultimate destruction. Within an hour
Heppner's fighting force had mobil-
lied, assembled their fighting equip
ment and were aboard the train for
lone. To their surprise and thank
fulness, the flames had about subsid-

School Children Are Encouraged
Along Poetic and Other Lines
of Literature.

School children of Heppner in the
lower grades are being taught the
art of literary composition and some
OF the pupils, more especially those of
the fifth grade, are showing signs of
future promise along the lines of es-
say and short story writing and that
higher art of poetry.
Recently the fifth grade pupils
were given as their daily task in Ian
guage, the writing of poem. ITO A
Skylark." Their teacher, Miss
Augusta Baker, was fairly amazed at
some of the good work the children
returned. She has handed The Ca
zette-Times one of the poems which
she considers among the best, and we
are publishing it herewith. The poem
was written by Bernice Woodson, the
youngest daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. C.
E. Woodson.
TO A SKYLARK.
Most beauteous and cheerful lark,
But few to thy wonderful music hark,
But those who do are well repaid
For better things they are made.
They grow to know more CHEEKY ways
1t makes them happier all their days
Well Influenced are we by thou most
heavenly bird
Even God thy rich music hath heard.
Oh bird! Art thou one of heaven s
angels sent
To bring JOY to men with earthly toll
bent
Would that our hearts better under
stood thy message rare
Then always better on our lifes jour
ney would we fare.

Six Turkey Hens Bring $212.

Who said it didn't pay to raise tur-
keys for the big market. Henry Gay
of Rhea creek has found that it does
pay, and more than that he has made
the discovery that it pays big.
Zone turkey hen is equal to a
cow" said Mr.. Gay. This may sound
rather absurd, but Mr.. Gay has the
figures and the cash to back up his
assertion. He started raising turkeys
q few months ago with six hens and
one gobbler. This winter he has
shipped to Portland 81 turkeys which
brought him 1912 net and he has the
six hens as a nucleus for next years
business. Mr.. Gay intends to 60 into
the turkey business bigger than ever
next year.
Why is one turkey equal to cow?
As Mr.. Gay explains it, each turkey
hen averaged him $40. The turkeys,
while being raised and fattened for
market did not need nor receive the
proportionate care and feed that his
dairy cattle receive.
Mr.. Gay does not contend that he
has made more money in the turkey
trade than in the production of but
terfat, but he can forsee great fu-
ture for the turkey industry in this
section, and knows from his exper'
ience this year, that 1t will be big

S500.00 REWARD TO
NA|LREDCROSSL LIES
Northern Newspaper Would Put an
End to Traitor Slander That
PrO.Germans Have Put
Forth.

The following is taken from the
Seattle Star of December 20. The
Star is waging a vigorous campaign
to show up the traitorous SANDER
which has been going the rounds a.
gainst the Red Cross and to the end
that the lies may be nailed, has off
cred reward of $500 to any person
who can prove any of the statements
which have been circulated.
The Star today offers $500 to nail
Red Cross lies in circulation by pro-
German traitors-and in some cases
by just plain fools.
You've heard the lie about the log
ger, who was supposed to have writ
ten an old lady telling her he had
bought the socks she made for tho
soldiers.
You've heard the lie about all the
Red Cross speakers who were sup
posed to be getting rich from Red
Cross receipts.
You've heard the lie which tried
to brand every worker in the Red
Cross as war graftor.
You've heard the lie that the wo-
men in the booths, taking member
ships, got commission.
All these stories are lies--lies or
iginated by traitors.
But they are carried sometimes by
fools.
Every article made by the Red
Cross goes to the purpose for which
it was intended.
Every dollar you give the Red
Cross goes into the great humanitar-
ian task that faces the organization.
Stories of graft and dishonesty in
connection with the Red Cross are
lies.
And the Star knows they are lies.
That is why the Star today offers
$500 to any one who can prove sim
gle case of graft or dishonesty in the
Red Cross.
Dozens of these stories have been
traced down by Red Cross officials
themselves.
Every single story has proven
false
Yet there are traitors and fools
who carry on the Red Cross lies.
The next time any one tries to ped
die Red Cross lie to you, just tell
that person to prove it to the Star and
get $500.

PRACTICAL LESSONS IN
FOOD CONSERVATION
Local High School, Through Domestic
Science Department, Takes Up
Classes to Aid the Federal
Food Administration.

Heppner High school plans to give
through tho Domestic Science depart
ment series of lessons in food con-
servation as outlined by the Federal
Food Administration. The lessons
will be conducted by Miss Martha b.
Struck, instructor in this department,
and give promise Of making it worth
while to every woman to attend.
In writing on the subject, Ava B.
Milan, director of Home Economics
for the State of Oregon, says that all
but few of the women of the twenty
million who direct the households of
the land, have signed the administra-
tons food pledge. Miss Milan be-
lieves that these women are anxious
to do their bit in food conservation,
but many have no idea of what food
conservation is. Avoiding waste is
not the whole plan, according to Miss
Milan, and in many instances substi.
tuition is equally important.
In order to help the housewife plan
nourishing meals, course of ter
demonstrations on using wheat and
meat substitutes and on methods Of
reducing our consumption of fat and
sugar without impairing the value o.
our own diet, has been planned by
