CHOICE HOME LOTS
WILL Be PLATED
J. W. Morrow viii Lay OF Town
lots on His East Side Property
Making Attractive Homesites.

A valuable residential section to
Heppner will be opened up in the
near future when ]. w. Morrow of
Portland Will plat off his property on
the hill on the east side of town. Mr..
Morrow was in the city last week, ac-
companied by a civil engineer, who
went over the project and pronoun-
GEO 1t feasible.
Mr.. Morrow has had in mind for
many years the transforming Of this
pasture land into beautiful lots, de-
sirable for building homes, but the
water problem had always made this
plan impracticable. But with the as
surance of an abundance of water
from reservoirs considerably higher
than the highest lot on the plat, Mr..
Morrow says that his plans are near
naturalization and it will not be
long before the lots will be laid off in
terraced blocks and this part of
Heppner will be made the most desir-
able for home building. While in the
city, Mr.. Morrow completed the de-
tails for the transfer Of the property
where the old school building now
stands, from district No. /, which he
takes in exchange for land on the flat
near the new school building.

Electric Clock System In
Stalled in Local School

The syncronized electric clock sys-
tenn has just recently been installed
in the local high school by Oscar
Borg, the wellknown jeweler. The
master clock, which operates through
electric impulses, has been placed Ii
the superintendent office and from
this master clock are operated eight
secondary clocks in the various class
rooms of the school. The master
clock is true time keeper and runs
within a variation of ten seconds in
a month. The pendulum is made of
metallic mercury, which compensates
for the change in temperature. The
clocks do not need to be wound up,
and they will run for months without
any attention whatever. The system
is the most modern and complete in
use today and speaks highly Of the
progressiveness displayed by those In
charge of our school,

STATE MAN ENFOR.
CES CIGARETTE LAW
Number of Youngsters Taken Up and
Fined as Result of Having Tobac-
co In Their Possession-Also Hits
Auto License Violators.

State officer S,-{-. arrived in the
city Tuesday and after a few hours
of investigation, had several boys
ranging in age from 9 to 20 years, on
the carpet in sheriff McDuffee's office.
Mr.. Snyder has a number of duties as
special officer in the states police de-
partment, and not the least of these
is the enforcement of the cigarette
law, which prohibits boys under age
from smoking cigarettes. The law
also prohibits the sale Of tobacco or
any of the appurtenances thereto,
that go toward making a smoke in
any form. Each of the thirteen To-
cal boys which we're hailed before
Mr.. Snyder was given a fine of IS and
the fine was suspended, pending fu-
ture conduct of the boys. Mr. Sny-
der, it is understood will also attempt
to determine the source from which
the boys have been getting their to-
bacco.
While here, the state agent has
taken note of the fact that a great
many auto owners have failed to get
their 1920 license tags, and these de-
linquent owners are being notified
that they must comply at once with
the law or be assessed the penalty
which the law carries.

POLITICAL POT
STARTS S|MMER|NG
From National Down TO County Of
fees Candidates Are Daily Casting
Their Hats Into the Arena-Chas.
Sperry of lone Out for Sheriff.

The Oregon Journal is trying hard
to make a lot of people believe that
Herbert Hoover is the only man for
president of the United States. Hoover
hasn't announced his candidacy, but
lot of other good men have.
For instance, Mr.. Bryan is again
courting favor of Old Maid dentocra-
cy. Bryan hasn't announced, but we
believe he is about due to arrive.
Governor Lowden. General Wood, Hi
ram Johnson and Miles Poindexter
are all avowed candidates for the re-
publican presidential nomination,
and while General Pershng has not
said it, his admirers are saying it for
him, and his press bureau is work
ing over time to flood the mails with
many good and other reasons why
Pershing should be president.
Even the democrats do not consid-
er President Wilson.
Robert N. Stantield, the largest in
diyidual sheep operator in the United
States, is willing to take his chance
against George L. Chamberlain for
senatorial honors and has announced
that he will make strenuous cam
paign to oust George E. from the
seat which a democrat has so long
filled as a representative of republi-
can Oregon. He seems to realize that
II will b a mans size job, but Mr..
Stanfleld has done some big things
in his young life. There is no doubt
but he would be an excellent man so
far as Eastern Oregon is concerned,
for his interests are largely centered
here.
Chas. B. Sperrry, well known grain
buyer Of lone and pioneer resident OF
Morrow county, announced Saturday
that he would seek the democratic
nomination for sheriff and intends to
make an aggressive campaign. II ell
ected, Mr.. Sperry says he will give
the county an efficient business ad-
mlnistration and enforce the laws.
This is brief platform but a thor
ough one. Mr. Sperry is man that
can be expected to live up to his pro-
misses. He is we'll known throughout
the county and has host OF friends
in both parties that will work for his
election.
]. A. Waters has announced that he
will seek reelection as county clerk.
Mr.. Waters has served efficiently for
three terms and has given universal
satisfaction. The water is getting
warmer each day and the plunge Will
undoubtedly appear more inviting to
other prospective would-be office hol-
ders as the primaries draw near.

1.-THE RIGHT TO HAPPINESS" "

An industry that cuts wages below
the living level, that refuses to re-
employ former service men who re-
turn for their old Jobs and an indus
try that permits the working condi-

This is one Of the points driven
home in "The Right to Happiness,
a photoplay Of the hour which is to
be seen Sunday at the Star theater.
1.-THE Right to Happiness" is not a
propaganda picture, neither is 1t q
mealy-mouthed smoothing over of a

ing exposure of certain existing con

clearly and dramatically.

assure 1t success.

Plans Made For County Track Meet
And Declamatory Contest.

At the Morrow County Teachers
Institute held in October. the school
principals of this county perfected an
organization known as the Morrow
County Athletic and Declamatory As
ISOLATION, the aims Of which are to a.
waken interest in clean sport, and to
stimulate activity in public speaking
in the schools. This association is
patterned after similar organizations
that are working SO successfully In
many of the progressive counties Of
Oregon.
At a meeting Of the executive COM
mittee in Heppner last Saturday.
plans were laid which will go long
way toward making the Annual TracA
Meet and Declamatory Contest a big
success. This track meet and speak
ing contest, the most important
school event of the year, will be held
in Lexington on the first Saturday in
May.
For convenience, the schools OF the
county have been divided into four
divisions, as follows: Division num-
Der one, Heppner and Hardman;
number two. Lexington and Pine
City; number three, lone; number
four, Boardman and Irrigon. In the
track meet, each division is entitled
to eighteen contestants, twelve boys
and six girls. Contestants have been
divided into classes as follows:
Glass A, those between sixteen and
twenty-one years; Class B, those be-
tween eleven and sixteen yeaN; and
Glass c, those under eleven years.
Each CT these classes will compete in
about thirty events. The division
winning the largest number of points
will receive large cup and beauti-
full pennant; the highest individual
point winner will receive gold med
al; the winner of first in any event.
a silver medal; the winner Of sec.
ond or a third, a printed ribbon.
During March and April, the prizes,
both for track and for defamation,
will be on exhibition in the various
towns of the county.
In the declamatory contest, each
contesting division is entitled to three
speakers, one from the first four
grades, one from the upper grades
and one from the high school. First
prizes will be gold medals, and Sec
ond prizes silver medals. Three per-
sons from outside the county will
Judge the contest, taking into consid-
Grafton voice, Interpretation, stage
appearance, and oratorical effect.
g - -1Hgie Esu :. provided by the
Heppner High school mixed quartet,
by the lone high school orchestra,
and by local talent at Lexington.
In short sketch 1t is impossible
to give details; however, there is one
fact which we wish to emphasize: the
plan worked out by the executive
committee makes it possible for any
boy or girl in any school of the county
to enter the track meet and the de-
clamatory contest. Pupils in the ru-
raj disaricts have an equal opportun-
honors for themselves and for their
school. And it is urged that rural
teachers enlist as many Of their boys
and girls as possible in this contest.
Should any teacher or pupil desire
further information. write Supt. Lena
Smell Shurte, Chairman Of the COM
mittee, at Heppner, or to the nearest
school principal.
