Make Your Own
Gray Hair Remedy

Mrs. A. Dixon, = well known Brook
lyn trained nurse, made the following
statement regarding gray hair !:
"Streaked, faded or gray hair can he
quickly turned black, brown or light
brown. by the use OF the following
remedy that you can make at home.
Merely &c, box Of Orlex powder
at any drug store. II costs very little
and no extras to buy. Dissolve it in
four ounces of distilled or rain water
and comb II through the hair. Direc-
'ion, for mixing and use and a gold
bond guarantee come in each box. One
box will last you for months.
IT is perfectly safe, il does not rub
oil, IS not sticky or gumpy, and leaves
the hair fluffy. II will make a gray
haired person look twenty years
Younger" (Adv)

John Elder arrived at Heppner
Tuesday evening, coming in from
Portland with Phil Cohn. He ar
rived from France about the first of
April, and at that time was not feel
ing any too good and was sent to a
hospital. Being so near home, how
ever, John was not satisfied to be
held up for three or four weeks, and
succeeded in convincing the hospital
doctor that he was all right and he
was allowed to take up his Journey
homeward. After his discharge at
Camp Lewis, John visited for a few
days at Eugene, where he attended
college before enlistment, and he
will go on out to Ritter, where his
parents live, the first of the week.
John served with the fighting medics
in the army and is fully satisfied
with the measure of army life he
received. 1t is four years since he
left Heppner.

BODY Of MRS. STREED
FOUND AT THE DALLES
Mysterious Disappearance of Mother
and Two Young Daughters
Accounted For.

Mrs. Laura Streed, of Portland, a
sister of Mrs. Mike Szepaneck resid-
ing near the mouth of Sand Hollow,
and who with her two little daugh-
ters, aged three and four years had
been visiting for a month at the
Szepaneck home mysteriously dis
appeared at Arlington on the 11th
of April. Mrs. Streed had left the
Szepaneck home to return to her
home in Portland. They came to
Heppner and remained over night,
taking the train from here. At
Arlington they left the train and
went to a restaurant for dinner, and
Mrs. Streed left her suitcase there.
The first word received was when
letter arrived last Friday at the
Szepaneck home addressed to Mrs.
Streed, and from this 1t was learned
that Mrs. Streed had not reached
Portland. Search was at once in
stituted by Mr. Szepaneck and the
husband, who resides at Portland.
They went to Arlington, where they
got their first clue upon discovering
the suit case. Inquiry at this point
led to the belief that the woman and
girls had taken train as far as
Umatilla, where all trace Of them was
lost.
The theory seemed to prevail, how
ever, that the woman had destroyed
herself and the two children, this
being based somewhat on circum>
stance that happened at Heppner.
While here, Mrs. Streed spent the
night at the Wilson hotel, and it was
currently reported that she attempted
suicide by taking some poison. and
when she had taken the drug she
suddenly repented of her act and
gave the alarm, when proper relief
was administered and her life was
saved. At any rate, it was noted that
the woman seemed to be suffering a
strange hallucination and acted very
queer.
Search was kept up along the river
above and below Arlington, and on
Tuesday afternoon at 2:8O, the word
came to Sheriff Shut at Heppner that
the body of one of the girls had been
recovered from the river about four
miles below Arlington.
This morning the body of Mrs
Streed was taken from the river at
The Dalles, and it is believed now
that the tragedy was enacted about
two miles below Arlington. NO
reason for the deed can be given
other than the unbalanced mind OF
the mother, which condition no
doubt was brought about on account
of her poor health, from which she
lad suffered for many months.

HEPPNER PEOPLE ENJOY

joyed by Mr.. and Mrs. Emmett

the occasion being the closing ex-
ercises staged by three school dis
tricts in that vicinity. The school
children were joined by the people
Of the surrounding community and
the exercises were held in a grove at
the cross roads at Lena. Teachers
of the schools taking part were
Misses Josephine McDevitt, Myrtle
Miller and Grace Leathers.
The program was carried out to
perfection in Gods own stadium

night supper to be enjoyed by all
those who enjoyed the all night
dance.
1t was truly royal event in which
fathers, mothers, sisters, brothers,
sweethearts and friends joined to

Senior Picnic.

About $50 four carloads OF
Seniors. armed with Miss Thiele, as
official chaperon; plenty OF smiles,
eats and an axe, headed toward the
picnic grounds on Rhea Creek They
we're accompanied by Delbert Wright
and Charles Chick as guests of
honor.
After reaching the grove, the first
important thing on the program,
following three-legged race, was
the supper. One of such a size, had
perhaps never disappeared quite So
rapidly before that particular bunch
of Seniors. The Seniors birthday
cake, of course, held the place of
honor and the four candles were at
length blown out.
After supper, as the physical con-
dition of the guests improved, the
fun began in earnest. At intervals,
the crowd would gather about the
huge fire to rest and tell stories. 1t
was announced that a prize would
be given to the person telling the
biggest yarn" and many quite
alarming facts were soon related. We
all thought that Miss Thiele deserved
the prize but it was finally awarded
to Edward Notson.
When the usual number of marsh
mallows had been toasted and dis
posed Of, happy crowd of young
folks piled into the cars and started
for home.
The cars met in the upper end of
town at about 1880 and
