TWENTY ONE YEAR
MEN WILL REGISTER

Portland, Ore, May.-Wednesday,
June 5. has been officially designated
as Registration Day throughout the
United States, for all young men who
have attained the age of 81 years
since draft Registration day one year
ago.
On Wednesday, June 5, every FL
year-old man in the United States
must appear at the registration place
designated by his local draft board,
and register.
The only exceptions are men al
ready in military or naval service
Special arrangements have been made
whereby absentees and those too i'll
to appear at the registration places
may register by mail
But they must all register. Fail
ure to do so makes the guilty young
man liable to Imprisonment for one
year, And ignorance of the fact that
June 5 is Registration Day will not
be accepted as an excuse. The bur-
den of informing themselves as to
the place and date of registration is
placed on the men themselves.
Registration will be in charge of
the local boards in their respective
districts. They are required to post
Immediately list of the registra-
tion places.
These registration places will be
open from 7 o'clock the morning of
June until 8 o'clock that night.
They will be in charge of officials of
the local draft boards.
June 5 has been selected as the
date for Registration Day because it
is the anniversary of the first draft
Registration Day, when approximate
ly 1O,0O0,00O men between the ages
of 81 and 80 years, inclusive, regis
tered for the draft.
This Registration Day is only for
men who have reached the age of 81
years, thus coming within the draft
age, since last Registration Day.

STREET IMPROVEMENT
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

Street Improvement in Heppner is
progressing rapidly and from present
indications the work will be done
days ahead of time. The preliminary
work was held back to some extent
on account of the difficulty in getting
certain machinery up from Portland, :,
but everything is running smoothly
now. One block on Main street is
practically finished, as is one block on
May street, leading up to the May
street bridge. Grading has progressed
down Main street as far as Center,
where the first heavy rock has been
laid and the men are now preparing
Baltimore and the lower end of Gale
streets for the first rolling.
There has been considerable talk
of hard surfacing and many property
owners have expressed themselves as
being in favor of laying a permanent
surface at this time. Mayor Smead
and Councilman Sweek are in Port
land this week and will look into the
prices of various forms of pavement.

W|THYC0MbE AND
MCNARY WINNERS
Primary Election Marked by Light
Vote Cast.-COntest For State
Treasurer Close.

The primary election in Oregon is
over. Both Governor Withycombe
and Senator McNary have received
the endorsement of their party men,
bers to remain in their high offices.
Although final and official returns
have not been checked up, Governor
Withycombe has run away from all
other candidates in the race for CUB
ernatorial nomination and Senator
McNary has defeated R. N. Stanfield
by better than 10000 votes.
Some close contests shave develop
ed. Up to this time IT has not been
fully decided whether F. A. Williams
or Frank J. Miller has been nominat-
ed for Public Service Commissioner.
Likewise was the race for supreme
court Judge close, finally going to C.
A. Johns of Portland, leaving John
s. Coke and Percy R. Kelley to scrap
it out for second place.
For state treasurer it Is difficult to
say at this time who has won out.
One day the figures favor T. F. Ryan
and the next day o. P. Hoff has few
hundred the best of it. This office
will remain in doubt until the official
count has been completed.
Ralph Williams defeated Bruce
Dennis for Republican National Com
mitteeman. Dennis was strong run
ner in Eastern Oregon, where he was
better known, but as he approached
the Willamette Valley and the heav-
ier vote casting counties, he lost out
badly to Williams.
G. II. Gram was nominated over
VIM. Dalziel for Labor Commissioner,
although Dalziel ran strong In many
sections of the state.
Colon X. Eberhard of La Grande
for state senator and c. E. Woodson
of Heppner for representative in the
legislature received their party's
unanimous endorsement.
On the democratic ticket, Oswald
West defeated VIII R. King for the
nomination for the United States SEN
atorship. Mr.. West has accepted the
nomination but has announced that
he will not make an active campaign,
providing Senator McNary will agree
to the same thing.
Will II. Hornbrook is democratic
national committeeman.

will run against Colon r. Eberhar l
for state senator.

Near the end of this month the
Heppner High School Annual, the
"Hehisch,' will come off the press.
This book presents all the phases of
school life in very interesting and
pleasing manner and also contains
many pictures of students and stu
dent activities. 1t serves as a kind of
record by which one can tell the edu-
cational progress of the school, for it
is gotten up entirely by the students
and the style of the annual repre-
sents the style of the students. The
annual this year is better than ever
before, although not bigger. The size
of the annual was left the same as
the last years because of the high
prices caused by wartime conditions,
and the great financial demand upon
all the people by different war funds
which the government has called up
on them to support. However, the
price of the annual has not increased,
and 75c handed to any H. II. S. stu
dent will bring you an annual. This
is very small amount for the real
worth of the book, but it is not the
intention of the school to make a
profit on it, but a small charge has
to be made to defray publication ex-
penses. If you are in a position
where you cannot see a high school
student, 75c sent to Garnet Barratt,
Manager, "Ilehisch,"
will bring you an annual.

SENIORS WILL PRESENT
A SCRAP OF PAPER"

The Senior class OF Heppner high
school will participate in the final
dramatics of their high school car
Ger when they present the three act
comic drama, "A Scrap of Paper" to
the Heppner public at the Opera
House on Wednesday, May Goth. An
admission price of SO cents will be
charged, one half to go to the Red
Cross and the other half to defray
various class expenses.
The play, which is considered one
of the best ever put on the stage in
Heppner, is filled with tion
throughout. Prosper Couramont,
one of the leading characters, is TAX
en- by Garnet ,Barratt. Couramont
comes from the Sandwich Islands to
find wife. At the home of Brise-
mouche, where he is visiting he is
surprised to find Louise de la Gla-
ciere, Brisemouche is Vawter Craw-
ford and Louise de la Glaciere is Loa
Briggs. In the character of Baron
de la Glacere will be found Leo
Nicholson. 1t transpires that let
ter, written by Louise to Prosper
three years before, was left in a stat
uette and never received by Prosper
He perceives a diplomatic advantage
in possessing the letter, and soon
contrives to get it out of its place of
concealment. Suzanne de Ruseville,
Norma Frederic, and a cousin of
Louise, helps her sister in the search
of Prospers apartment, and discovers
the letter. 1t is thrown out Of the
window by Prosper, and from there
on there is a frantic search by every
one. In the end, however, the paper
is burned and Prosper rejoices that
he has found a wife smarter than
himself. In the supporting cast are
Arthur Campbell, Kenneth Binns, Is
abel Wilson, Neva Hayes, Anna Doh
erty and Florence Ralston.

WERE YOU MISSED?

Owing to the fact that this is a
busy time of year, it was planned to
put the Red Cross Drive for this
county over in one or two days. In
the rush of covering the territory,
some peple were not found at home,
and others were missed in some other
way. This was not intentional. If
you were missed by the solicitor, do
not get mad about it Simply drop
into Mr.. Van NactOr's office and leave
your subscription, or call up one of
the captains or solicitors and author
ize him to sign up for you. In many
counties, the laboring men have
adopted the plan of giving at least
one days wages, whatever that might
be. They figure that they can give
one day when so many are giving all
the time they can possibly spare. So,
if you are laborer and want to give
one days wages let one of the solic-
itors know. A Heppner boy, about 3
years old, when he discovered that he
had been overlooked, got on his
wheel and followed two solicitors,
overlook them, and insisted upon con-
tributing dollar He has the 100
per cent. spirit. If you were missed,
make it hot for somebody until you
get your name on humanitys honor
roll.
Respectfully,
M. D. CLARK,
Chairman Campaign Committee.

LENA SHOWS SHE is DECID-
EDLY ON THE MAP BY
RAISING BIG MONEY
FOR RED CROSS.

Lena is on the map. In fact
Lena has been on the map tcr a
good long time, but was not sa.-
isfied with things she had done
In the past. This accounts for
the overwhelming success of the
big dance and auction sale which
was held last Friday night in
Woodward hall. A turkey, calf
horse and sheep, as we'll as hog
pulled down good money at the
auction block. The dance was
also a money getter and as a re-
suit, Lena has turned over $279
suit, Lent has turned over s279
to the Morrow County Chapter
of the Red Cross. Oscar R.
Otto. who furnished music for
the dance, donated his services
and the SO was turned back for
the Red Cross.

Conditions.
If, r. Brown, County Agent J

The harvest wage question will be
taken up at a meeting of farmers Of
all Eastern Oregon and Eastern
Washington counties, June 10th at
Pendleton. This is important be-
cause 1t insures the farmers against
the many rumors which will be start
ed, and the tendency of hired help
to shift about. There is always GER
tain point up to which farmers coop
crate, and if In this county we can
make that point far enough along so
that what ever wage is adopted will
be put into general practice and CIV
en- the widest publicity possible, there
is going to be great deal less shift
ing of harvest hands and consequent
ly better organized crews.

money for the Red Cross while clos
ing the school term in district No.
%, that the performance will be re-

ture of the program will be the auc-
tion sale of the ladies present to the

Oregonians won't have to worry

Oregonians won't have to worry
about heatless days next winter.
The need of securing supplies as
soon as possible has made even more
urgent by the decision of the Govern
ment to virtually suspend importa-
tion of California fuel oil into Oregon.
Curtailment of oil will make it neces-
sary to ship more than 100000 tons
of coal above the normal demand.
In addition, thousands of extra cords
of wood will be used by plants now
employing oil. This will in turn add
greatly to the demands on the already
overburdened railroads for more cars
and greatly increases the possibility
of a shortage this fall.
