CARD OF THANKS.

To my friends l wish to express
my thanks and deep appreciation for
the thoughtfulness and many kind
nesses extended by my neighbors
and the many inquiries made as to
our welfare by those at a distance
during our recent illness. With the
children and Mrs. McMurdo all sick
at the same time with the Spanish
influenza and myself with pneumonia
and with so many of my patients call
ing for me, my own illness was the
least of my troubles. But l thank
God we all came through it without
a sorrow and l only wish every
family could have been as fortunate.
A man would be foolish to die and
leave so many good friends.
DR.. and MRS. McMURDO.

HERE, YOU RED CROSS
SLACKERS.

A meeting was called for Tuesday
evening at the Masonic hall for the
purpose of electing a board Of
directors for Morrow County Chapter
of the Red Cross, and it was attended
by about, one-half dozen members of
the Red Cross and of course an
election could not be held. AS this
is important and must be attended to,
another meeting has been set for the
coming Tuesday, December 3rd, when
it is hoped that there will be a large
attendance. All those holding Red
Cross memberships are entitled to
participate. Don't be a Stacker next
Tuesday evening.
The thanks of the Chapter are ex-
tended to the membership of the
Federated church for the donation or
their building as an emergency hos
pital during the flu epidemic. And
to all those who generously furnished
bedding for the use of the Red Cross
at this time, we wish to offer our
grateful appreciation.
The membership drive for the Red
Cross will be during the week Of De-
cember 1928. AS yet chairman
for this drive has not been chosen
but the appointment will be made at
once and the work Of the drive for
Morrow county organized.

Henry Schwarz Sells Market.

Henry Schwarz has disposed of
the Peoples Cash Market to c. d.
Watkins. Mr.. Watkins comes to
Heppner from Wasco, where he has
been engaged in the butchering bus
mess for a number of years. He
has taken charge of the Peoples
Market and we find him very
pleasant gentleman who appears to
thoroughly understand his business.
Mr.. Watkins will, of course, con-
tinue the business at the present
stand until his new building Is
ready. Work on this was COM
menced Monday and will be pushed
to completion just as rapidly as
weather conditions will permit The
new market will be in the concrete
building on Willow street opposite
this office, and when he is ready to
move in, MIR. Watkins expects to
equip complete market and
grocery. We are glad to welcome
Mr.. Watkins to Heppner and trust
that he will merit fair share of the
trade. His family will move here In
the spring.

Council Meeting.

City Council met on Monday even
ing for the purpose of passing upon
the budget for the coming year. The
estimates were gone over and the
budget adopted according to the
figures as given elsewhere in this
issue.
The matter of dispensing with the
services of city marshal was taken
up and 1t was decided that the office
of marshal and fire chief should be
combined for the coming year, and
there will be but one man to pay for
the two jobs. Marshal Clark re-
tires with the end of this month after
having served the city for one year
in that capacity. Mike Currin will
be continued on the job as fire chief

Notes..

Eight Mile carried off the honors
in the United War Work Campaign,
as usual, coming in with the splendid
sum of $749.00. When it is under
stood that this is very small dis
trict, sparsely settled, covering an
area of about six miles square, this
contribution is remarkable. In all,
62 people contributed amounts from
S1.0O up and the average subscrip-
tion for Eight Mile was s12.0S.

BE TRULY THANKFUL
THIS THANKSGIVING

This is an occasion for one of the
greatest Thanksgivings in the history
of America. Never had we greater
cause for being truly thankful than
today, and among some of the great
things for which we should return
cur thanks to God today may be
enumerated the following:
The end of the worlds most ter
rible war has. come.
The destruction of militarism, for
which America entered the war, is
about to be realized.
That peace, not of vengeance
but of justice, is to be consummated
That our land has been free from
the ravages of war.
That We have not had to pay a
terrible price in the loss of precious
lives.
That brave soldiers and sailors
will come back proud to have had
part in freeing oppressed peoples.
That we are, and always have
been, free people
That revolution, which has almost
destroyed Russia and now ravages
other lands. has no occasion to
raise its threatening hand here.
That the nation has shown itself
sound at heart.
That We are a God-fearing and
reyerent people, and as such we
shall think and act properly on this,
the greatest Thanksgiving day of
our history. Let us all give reYerent
thanks.

MORROW NEARING GOAL
IN WAR WORK CAMPAIGN

Morrow County is nearing the goal
in the United War Work Campaign,
and will soon be over the top, with
the expectations of Chairman Clark
fully realized. This great gift cam
olgn has been one of the most
notable in our history. There have
been numerous obstacles in the way
OF carrying on the work, yet the
response has been remarkable. Not
only is this true of our own county
and state, but the nation as we'll. In
this county it has been the flu. flu,
flu, to interfere at most every point
and there was little, if any, chance
for personal solicitation, therefore. it
is all the more gratifying to Chair
man Clark to be able to give the
following table of figures to date:
This is all in cash.

APPRECIATES SERVICE
OF. OREGON PRESS

The following letter of apprecia-
ton was received by the Gazette
Times too late for our issue of last
week, but because of its kindly ex-
preston of appreciation for the
services rendered by the press during
the United War Work Campaign
just closed, we give it space at this
time.
Portland, Oregon, Nov. 20, 1918.
Mr.. V. Crawford,
County News Writer,
United War Work Campaign,
Heppner, Oregon.
My dear Mr.. Crawford:
At the close of this, the greatest
GIFT campaign in all history, l
take this opportunity, personally, to
extend to you my sincere gratitude
for the excellent work which you
accomplished for this Office.
Our book of clippings, which has
been Systematically kept, both prior
and during the drive, discloses the
fact that we received more publicity
in all probability than any similar
drive, by not less than SO per cent.
Taking into consideration the con-
ditions prevailing through the period
in which our work was done, con-
slider this to be a most remarkable
record.
If there is a paper in Oregon
which has not given 1909 service,
taking into consideration their limi-
tations as to space and help, have
not heard Of it.
The success of the campaign, as l
view it, was due in very large part,
to the excellent newspaper news
publicity obtained throughout the
entire state. In this work you
played a most important part, and
to you is due our deepest thanks.
Wishing you all prosperity and
good fortune In the future,
Very truly yours,
w. H. WARREN,
Supervisor of Newspaper News.

Agent Brown, there was a meeting
of the County Agricultural Council
IN Heppner on Saturday afternoon at
the |. o, 0. F. hall. The attendance

interest manifested made up for the
lack in attendance.
The past year has been one of ex-
pertinent, so far as maintaining the
Office of County Agent is concerned,

HEPPNER HIGH SCHOOL
HAS RESUMED WORK

School started up again last week
after being closed for a month on ac-
count of the "flu" epidemic. The at
tendance was somewhat decreased,
on account of few scattering cases
in families of which some students
happened to be members. The
mumps have also claimed a few stu
dents from their studies for awhile.
OF these Ellis Irwin, Edward Chidsey
and Edith Boyd have not yet return
ed to school. On the whole, however,
the attendance has not been seriously
impaired, and all returning students
have taken up their studies with a
vim that makes sure the completion
of the regular work on scheduled
time. To help overcome the shortness
of time in which the students have to
finish the years work, the school
authorities have heightened the
school day about one half hour, and
all lessons have been heightened ac-
cordingly.
The addition of fine new piano
was made to the music department
the first of the week, and Miss Rada-
baugh now sees small chance of
getting a little music out of the boys
class, though we fear twill take more
than the moral influense of the new
piano to accomplish this feat.
Emery Gentry was up to school
one day last week, and stated that he
would be back at his studies in about
two weeks, provided he had finished
tilling the soil for this season by that
time.
Another student who is greatly
missed at her place in the Junior row
is Josephine Woolery, who has
changed her place of residence to
Portland.
The chemistry class held balloon
ascension on Monday. The class was
manufacturing hydrogen and at the
close of school a number of small
rubber balloons were filled with the
gas and an exhibition held for the
benefit of the grade scholars, who
took great interest in the aeronautics.
The chemistry students manufactur-
ing the gas attached their names to
the balloons, giving return address,
so that when the Inhabitants of Mars
received them they could notify the
students, and the latter could then
compile such scienifc facts that
would tend to make their names i'm
mortal on the tablets of history.
Elmer Peterson as leader of the
Victory Boys, and Elizabeth Phelps
as leader Of the Victory Girls brought
the Heppner schools through with
their quota in record time, and added
another laurel to the schools al
ready enviable war record. The girls
outdista1ced the boys somewhat in
the amount raised, but upon consld-
ering the far superior numbers of the
fairer sex the boys did not take their
defeat greatly to heart.
Professor Hough of the Lexington
schools made our institution visit
one day last week.
The only holidays the students will
be allowed this year are one day each
for Thanksgiving, Christmas and
New Years. This measure was taken
by the school authorities to regain
some of the time lost during the
"flu" epidemic.
