FROM HEPPNER
Local Fans Travel TO Egg City TO See
Our Boys trimmed in Close Contest
Sundays exhibition Brightens Hopes
Of Home Bunch.

In a very hotly contested ball game
at lone on last Sunday. the Heppner
team met defeat by a score Of to 4.
Jack. Solyan was in the box for Hepp-
ner and his pitching was puzzle to
the lone sluggers, who had hard time
in connecting up with the ball. He
did not have as good support at the
home plate as he should. the catcher
falling to hold him. The field work
on the part Of Heppner was excellent.
and nothing was allowed to get by,
either in the inield or outfeld. Rockey
was in the box for lone and pitched a
good, consistent game. He received his
usual good support from the lone play
ers, and the game was a tight one all
through, and tie score OF three tallies
up to the ninth inning. when lone man
aged to put over the winnig score. Bert
johnson umpired. The Heppner fans
naturally felt that they were entitled
to the game and came home little sore
over a decision or two of the umpire,
yet feeling good that the home team
gave such a good account of them
selves They have taken courage and
will look forward to winning a few Of
the games that are being arranged. A
double header is set for the 21st and
22nd at Heppner, between Heppner and
Condor. Other games are being ar
ranged and 1t is hoped that the locals
may get another chance at lone on the
home field

Banker Can Help Bring Busi-
ness Back Says Finance Expert

New York, May 9.-Eugene Meyer, Jr
Managing Director of the War Finance
corporation, speaking at a recent meet
ing of the Bankers Club Of Brooklyn.
said
There has been a decline without
parallel in the prices of all kinds of
goods and commodities. Bank loans
have steadily declined since the begin
ming of this year and reserves in some
parts of the country are now building
up to satisfactory figures, but, even
with this improvement in the banking
situation. there is still a most serious
condition in industry. The foremost
among the industries which are suffer-
ing is the great fundamental industry
of agriculture.
1T is the obligation of the banker
today to determine in what direction
he can properly and conservatively
stimulate business by giving encourage
ment and confidence to the producers
and merchants who depend upon him
for advice and for funds If it is true,
as ! believe, that stocks are abnormal
ly low, that merchants, manufacturers,
wholesalers and retailers. who year
ago could not obtain enough goods at
high prices, are now unwilling to carry
their usual stocks at low prices. 1t is
the obligation Of the banker to endeav-
or to remedy this situation. 1t seems
to me that, at the present time, no other
single thing would contribute more to
the restoration Of business in a sound
and conservative manner than the re-
sumption of the carrying of normal
stocks in proportion to the probable
needs OF consumers.
Another obligation with which the
bankers may properly charge them
selves in the public interest is that of
devislng effective measures for elimin-
ating the swindling promotion schemes
which cost the people huge sums of
money at regular and frequent inter-
walls
81 deem ii to be a real obligation
OF the bankers OF this country to CO.
operate with the government in work
ing out a program by which the mean
mig Of thrift may be brought home to
every man. woman and child; and this
should be done, in part. through the
savings system OF the United States
Government and, in great part, through
the stock and mutual savings banks.
Neither the private nor the Government
institutions can do 1t all. or do 1t alone.
but it is certainly reflection upon our
management of the situation that the
- aud n
raising money from the savings Of the
people should be called upon to pay of
$4,000 coo to $4,000, 600 month, thus
materially adding TO our financial bur-
deus in this difficult period"

There was fine game of ball between
Heppner HI and Lexington HI on the
latter segrounds at Lexington yesterday
afternoon, Heppner setting out the
magnificent score OF goose eggs, while
the Lexington lads ran up on them
with five big scores. To begin with,
Lexington took two from the locals,
one a well-earned run, and the other
gathered in on a bum error by Hepp-
ner, After this 1t was a series OF
blanks until about the sixth. when
again, to the disgust of the few Hepp,
ner fans present, their boys put over a
bunch of wild throws and Lexington
was ahead a couple of more counts on
the score board. Another count was
added in the eighth The poor Hepp-
ner bunch was only able to get as far
as third base a time or two and while
they had couple of chances to get
over the home plate safely. they stuff
ed off They were lacking in the prop
er pep somehow but their opponents
were right up and coming all the while,
with but few errors to their count, and
these the Heppner lads were not able
to take advantage of Peterson and
Young were the battery for Heppner,
and Garrett and Earl Ward for Lexing-

sHRINEs BEYOND ALL PRICE
United States Has Many That Are In
expressibly Dear to the Hearts
of the People.

This old Plymouth church belongs
to the noble dead, to the living only
as trustees, but by way Of preemi-
nence it belongs to the generations
that are as yet unborn. Civilization
journeys forward partly on books,
partly upon the memorial days of great
men, who are builders of the state,
upon organized laws and finally upon
historic buildings.
No one can fully value the influence
of the Temple tn Jerusalem upon the
Hebrew state In like manner the
Parthenon was like an invisible teach
er, whose strong hands shaped the
plastic soul of the Greek race. There
are half dozen buildings in Great
Britain, including Westminster abbey
and st. Paul's, and to take those
buildings out Of England's life would
be like taking the intellect out Of
mans body.
The people of the United States have
but a brief history, only three cen
turies, but they have Independence
hall, Mount Vernon, that shaft at Get
tysburg, Faneuil hall, Old South
church, Lincoln's house and shrine at
Springfield. and old Plymouth church,

Mexicans Are Great Walkers.

There is q saying in Europe that
the Spaniards are the champion walk
ers of the world, and certainly their
descendants in America, the Mexicans,
are the champions Of the new world.
Three nights every week there is q
concerto in the main downtown plaza
in Monterey and nearly all the Amer
leans in town, including many big,
husky transients on the way to or
from Tampico, sit on the park benches
and watch in wonder while the Mexi-
cans walk.
All the young people in town, it ap-
pears, walk around and around and
around that plaza, the boys in one
direction and the girls in the opposite
direction, while their parents and
chaperons and few aged people
share the benches with the husky
Americans.
