MESSAGE RECEIVED
FROM MR.. HANOSAKER

A cablegram has just been received
by j. j. Handsaker, State Manager of
the Near East Relief Campaign, in
which it is stated that recent deaths
have greately increased the number
of orphans. Fathers and mothers
have given up their lives in order to
save the children. Mr.. Handsaker
says it will require much aid for
several months to save the lives of
these starving people. AS fast as the
subscriptions are reported in, the
totals are telegraphed to New York.
A few men of means then guarantee
the payment then the money is
available. Morrow county has raised
only abut one third of her quota. Are
we going to so into the Stacker list
at this late date? We should wake
up, If you have not contributed any
thing to this fund, send a check to
j. ]. Nys, Heppner, for something.
There should be a number of $25.00
subscriptions yet, quite large num-
ber of $1,000 subscriptions, at least
100 more $500 subscriptions, and
three or four hundred $1.0O to $500
subscriptions. Shall we let 110 of
the 100 orphans we are held re-
sponsible for starve?

JUNIOR CLASS MAKES
| HIGH SCHOOL HISTORY

Monday, March the twenty-fourth
dawned bright and clear, with q
great deal of suppressed excitement
brooding among the Juniors. Other
classmen did not suspect a thing
unusual until the Junior seats were
found at the noon roll-call.
At one o'clock sharp, the Juniors
dressed in old clothes, loaded with
lunch materials, met at the Court
House. They went up the road fol-
lowing Willow creek, happy in the
thought, that at last, they were free
They went up to Hagers grove
reached there in time to have supper
and to enjoy many delightful sports
until twilight when they made the
homeward trip.
Upon reaching town, they heard
the joyful news about the Mac
Anallies. After serenading many OF
the other classmen, they laid in
wait until the "newly-weds" should
come from the show When they
entered the Fountain of Sweets
the Juniors shivareed them there
and they were well treated to Lovers
Delights. Thus ended the eventful
Flunk day.
Friday night of the same week
the Junicrs had set fer a theateI
party. Word circulated about that
the Sophomores accidentally had
found out, so that date was changed
to Thursday night. Tho balcony was
reserved at the Star Theater. At show
time, the Juniors were in their
places giving yells to the Scphs who
also were there. However the wind
was taken from the SopEs' sails
when the Juniors flashed on the
screen welcome to them.
Friday morning found the Juniors
all tumbling cut of bed at an un-
usually early hour, ard scurrying
along to school with their books
under their arms. Why so much
zeal for their work. Can't you guess
Why they were going to have a
breakfast in honor of Herbert Hynds
birthday. A delicious three course
breakfast was served. To cap the
climax, a birthday cake lighted by
seventeen candles was brought in
and placed before Mr.. Hynd. We
may lose another member of the
class this year for he blew all the
, candles out with one breath. Yet
we hope we may not lose him just
yet. Thus ended the most eventful
week, yet, for the Juniors.

get fitted out with his permanent ar
tifcial arm and receive his discharge,
when he contemplates making a line
for Morrow county. He is at Fort
Mcpherson, Georgia, which is near
Atlanta, and is being looked after in
good shape. 1t will be remembered
that Rufus lost his right arm at the
battle of Argonne Forest and he was

He encountered a bursting shell and

VICTORY LOAN ORGAK|.
zAT|0N READY TO WORK
Meeting Held Monday Night and
District Chairman Appointed.

At meeting held in the Office of
S. e. VanVactor on Monday evening
and presided over by County Chair
man, w. G. McCarty, the preliminary
organization for the Victory Liberty
Loan drive was perfected. At this
meeting S. A. Pattison, who repre-
sented Chairman McCarty at the con
ference in Portland the past week,
made short report, and indicated
something of the immense task that
the loan workers will be up against
in putting over the loan this time,
but the sentiment created at this
meeting is to the effect that it will
have to be made a success, and that
success will crown the united efforts
of the workers when the campaign
actually begins. It cannot be stated
at this time just what the quota of
Morrow county will be, but it is safe
to predict that it will not be much
less, if any, than that asked in the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, and COM
ing at the time it does, from April
21st to May 10th, it will not find the
people of this county just as well pre-
pared as they would be later on.
For the Heppner district, the fol-
lowing committee was named;
F. A. McMenamin, chairman; S. w.
Spencer, hanson Hughes, c, l.,
Sweek, L. r. Huston.
The other districts of the county
are given their chairmen only, and
these will choose their assistants.
The appointments were made as fol-
lows:
Lexington, w. G. Scott.

gram. lone is we'll situated TO take

HEPPNER HIGH WINS
FIRST BASEBALL GAME

The base ball season was opened

H. H. S. This game is the first of a
series of six to be played in the
county, three with lone and three
with Lexington, the winner of the

nant.
The Fl. H. S. athletes are now
busy working out for track, and this
along with base ball is taking most
Of their spare time. We expect to

ment to be held in lone the fore part
Of next month. The girls as we'll as
the boys are included in this as they
are also organizing base ball and
track team, and working hard all
the time.

BUYS WILLOW CREEK FARM

N. S. Milestone of this city closed
deal during the past week with Jeff
and Frank Evans of Lexington, for
the Summers alfalfa and wheat farm
a short distance west of Lexington.
The consideration was $4,000, and
we understand that Mr.. Milestone

place. He gets with it the stock and
implements. This is considered one
of the best farms in that section, and
since coming into the hands of the
Evans boys they have improved it a
great deal. These men will now re-
tire from active farm work.
