High School Teams Battle
Scoreless Game at Lexington

One of the cleanest football games
ever played in Morrow county by inter-
scholastic teams resulted in 90 score
at Lexington last Saturday afternoon
when the two light teams Of Lexington
and lone high schools met in their first
encounter of the season.
Both teams pulled their plays fast
and were strong on offensive plays
Both, however, were woefully weak in
defense. 1t is rather hard to explain
why either team failed to score as both
had no trouble in making yardage, once
the ball was in their possession.
Hill, quarterback for Lexington, made
several large gains by end runs. with
almost perfect interference. Dallas
and Earl Ward and Gerald White also
showed to advantage for Lexington.
For lone, Blake was a consistent yard
age maker, while the line plunges OF
Devin and the lodging qualities of Linn
at quarterback position and Davidson
at end were the Egg City luminaries
1t is freely predicted that both teams
will develop a greater strength as the
season progresses. At the present time
their strength is so near equal that II
would be hard to determine Just which
is the strongest. Coaching will un-
doubtedly spell the ultimate result.
This Is the second scoreless game In
the interscholastic league this season,
as the game at Heppner two weeks ago
resulted the same way when neither
Heppner or Lexington could gain an
advantage.

MORROW IS COUNTY
Of VARIED INDUSTRIES
Volcanic Ash Soil Has Everlasting HUI
mus and In Better Soil Than That of
Other Sections, Says Garden Editor.

Morrow county is large county, ex
tending twice as far south as it does
along the river. Its altitude is from
250 feet along the river to 1000 feet on
the southern plateau, which is timber
land. Not many vegetables are raised.
commercially, at an elevation of over
5000 feet, but everyone in the county
has home garden and orchard.
An irrigated strip ten miles wide, ly-
ing along the Columbia river, is where
most of the vegetables and fruit are
raised. This is called 'the sand belt"
but it is really deep volcanic ash and
exceedingly rich soil-"the most pro-
ductive land of any project in the north
west" 1t surpasses the Willamette
valley soil in that while the valley clay
soils have produced wonderful crops
for 40 or so years they are now becom-
ing depleted, while this deep volcanic
ash is so exceedingly rich in chemical
elements that all it needs is water and
humus, in the form of decaying roots,
etc, so that while wheat production
is decreasing on our clay Soils, these
ash soils that raised at first Is bushels
of wheat to the acre, raise more and
more each year they are cropped and
are now raising SO bushels to the acre,
There is now water on about $4,000
acres and they are working on an irri-
cation project which will extend~from
the ten miles now covered to Is to is
miles inland. This is called the John
Day project. The climate in the north
is the same as that of Jackson county.
All kinds of fruit and vegetables do
well here, even hot weather crops.
Peanuts grow finely here and make a
good yield While not extensively
grown now, more are grown each year
and they will be grown here CONNER
cially Some sweet potatoes are grown
and do we'll Irrigon and Boardman
ship out several carloads Of watermel-
ons, cantaloupes and muskmelons. All
varieties do well-Rocky Ford as well
as others.
All fruit is young here and the tree
fruit was much injured by the cold last
winter. The peach trees were killed,
but have all been replanted and are
coming on again. Apples were winter
killed. Their principal fruit exporte%
has been apples and strawberries and
quite a few peaches were shipped.
Some Strawberries were shipped this
year A few specialize in honey and
ship a lot of it and there are several
acres of sorghum which will be made
into syrup" Forty years ago syrup
was made quite commonly out Of sor-
ghum here and in Umatilla county
Oregonian.

After Many Postponments
Legion Smoker Is Sure Go

The much heralded and oft-times de-
layed smoker of the local post of the
American Legion will be a sure go this
time. according to r. E. Gregg, who says
most entertaining program for all
former service men of Morrow county
is being arranged to take place in the
l. o. o. F. Hall Friday tomorrow !
night.
The Legion had first planned big
street carnival, but at the last minute
the amusement company sent word
that they would be unable to come The
carnival was therefore called OFF. and a
smoker was planned for last Saturday
night. This was later postponed ow-
ing to so many other attractions TAX
ing place on the same night
Now that the affair has been shifted
for next Friday night, legion officers
are confidently looking forward to a
large attendance and are issuing an
invitation to every former service man
and especially urge his attendance.
There will be wrestling and boxing
matches by local talent and a general
good time and social evening.

Thye Won Match In Two
Straight Falls From Jepson

Ted Thye won in two straight falls
from Nels Jepson in their match at the
Star theater last Saturday evening The
match gave promise of being long one
as Jepson early In the contest demon
strated that he was a near match for
his opponent and he kept Thye pretty
busy.
However after Jepson fell over the
ropes into the orchestra pit, where he
landed on his head and shoulders on the
concrete floor, he was greatly weak
ened. Thye got the first fall. double
wrist lock and body scissors shortly
after Jepsons injuries.
Jepson won the sympathy and admir-
alton of the large crowd of fans when
he went back into the ring and finished
the match, after his left eye was nearly
swelled shut and he had bad bruise
on his shoulder
The second fall came after about FIVE
minutes of wrestling, Thye again PIN
holds as in the first fall
At the conclusion of the match Jep-
son made the statement that Thye was
the best wrestler by all odds In his
class today and that there was not a
man of his weight living who could
throw him unless the double wrist lock
was barred, This Is hold that Thye
uses to great success and his rivals for
mat honors know that 1t Is dangerous.
Another interesting bout will be held
this coming Saturday night when Jep,
son will meet Dodan Singh, the cham
pion Hindu wrestler who has been
meeting with success In matches held in
the East.
In the events last Saturday night, the
boxing card proved rather weak, as
both Kid Groshens and Young Mccoy"

durance and both were pretty we'll all

Sunmarization.

Regarding his stand on the League,
Senator Warren G. Harding, Republi-
can candidate for President, gives the
following summary:
1t seems to me that there should not
remain shadow of doubt about my
exact position as regards the proposed
league of nations as drafted at Paris
and submitted to the Senate and as
regards the great world sentiment for
a better understanding among nations
to discourage war and generally to
advance civilization. Let me restate
my position as explicitly as my power
Of words permits:
First-I am unalterably opposed to
going into the league Of nations as that
particular proposition now stands. That
proposal is contemptuous Of and poten-
TALLY destructive of the American Con-
stitution. 1t is not favored by the
American people.
Second-I am in favor Of world as
sociation-call it what you will, the
name is of slight consequence-that
will discourage or tend to prevent war
and that will encourage or tend to en-
courage a better understanding among
the nations of the earth. The old or
der of things is done with, not only in
America but throughout the world, and
the United States, always quick with
sympathy, always Just and usually led
by common sense, must play its part in
this new order.
Third believe that such an associa-
tion can be formulated without wreck
in the Constitution that remains the
corner stone of our liberties and our
happiness; without selzing or flchlng
the sovereignty that is our pride and
our inspiration to fine living and good
works.
FOURTH earnestly believe that the
conscience, the ready sympathles. the
sense Of justice and the plain common
sense Of the United States can be de-
pended upon by the rest OF the world,
and that it would be stupid as well as
unlawful to attempt to chain our sym
pathies, our sense Of justice and our
common sense to tie these strong, nne,
dependable American qualities to the
foreign nations or groups Of nations
whose ideals are not the same as ours
never have been and never will be.
Fifth-1t is my purpose. when elected.
to take the whole people into my conf
dence as regards these matters, to seek
their advice, and more Importantly to
act consonantly with their advice; and
to this end II will be my pleasure as
we'll as my duty to call into conference
tn chest minds, the clearest minds. that
America affords, | thank God that tho
time has come when can ask the ad-
vice of American women and especially
the mothers OF America.
The substance OF these things has
been said said in some form or other In
every address, and say II ali definite.
ly now, because | am not always fully
reported and want America to UNDER
stand my thought OF cooperation as
we'll as the abiding opposition to the
league proposed.

SPEAKERS URGE ELECT
ION OF R. \. STANF|ElD
Congressman sinnott and Mr.. Tooze
Appear Here In Interest OF Republic
can sueeess.-PIea For Greater Ma
tionaIism Made.

Republicans of Oregon should stand
solidly behind the candidacy Of Robert
n. Stanfeld in his race against George
E. Chamberlain for United States Sem
ator.
This was the statement made both by
Congressman n. J. Sinnott Of the sec
ond Oregon district and Walter L.
Tooze, sr.. Of Salem, who are touring
Eastern Oregon in the interests of the
Republican party and both Of whom
spoke in this city recsntly.
Mr.. sinnott appeared at the Star
theater last Thursday night and ad-
dressed large audience. His state
ments regarding the league of nations
and the manner in which he showed up
the betrayal OF the constitutional In
terests Of the United States and Ameri-
can traditions, met with prolonged ap-
plause.
The flag Of internationallsm would
fly high over the Stars and Stripes un-
der the league plan, according to Mr..
Sinnott. The master hand of Lloyd
George is plainly evident in the league
covenant, for as pointed out by the con-
gresham, under the working of the
league, the United States would be out
voted by Great Britain seven to one in
any controversy that might arise. And
also, the smallest nation In the league
would have vote equal to the United
States, the richest country in the world.
America would pay the bill for policing
Europe and we would instead Of being
freed from the scourge of war. be ever
lastingly tied up to all the petty en-
broilments that have grown or may
grow up out Of world-old feuds in Eu-
ropean countries.
Mr.. Sinnott strongly urged the elec-
ton of Robert ~ Stanaeld for Senator
and pointed out that under the ruinous
free trade policy. enacted under the I'm
derwood tariff, farmers and stockmen
especially. are being forced to the wall.
Mr.. Stanfeld is committed to the policy
Of strong protective tariff and will
back up the incoming Republican ad-
ministration in putting over the party's
policies.
Mr.. Tooze, who is an orator Of great
ability, spoke much along the same
lines as did Congressman Sinnott He
called attention to the pigmy qualities
Of Mr.. Cox. stood him up alongside Of
the great statesmen Of America of for
mer days and the present and the COM
parison brought out strongly the mark
ed difference between the men who
made and maintained the traditions Of
our country and this man who Is going
over the country making any kind OF
speech to At the occasion in his effort
to catch the votes
Mr.. Tooze briefly called attention Of
his audience to the fact that Governor
Cox no longer dwells on the slush fund
charges. now that they have fallen
fiat. DO you think that the American
voter can be bought for thirty centsT
asked Mr.. Tooze. well this Is the
amount raised to buy your vote. even
If the charges of Mr.. Cox were true"
