Commander Of Local Post
A. L. Makes Statement

The preamble of the American Le-
gion's constitution states that it is ded-
icated to God and Country. The Legion,
during its career of only three years
has demonstrated that it is the best in
surance policy the Nation has.
Our post appeals to all eligible ex-
service men in this community to join
the Legion and to aid our fight for
Americanism. The blue and gold button
Of the American Legion marks its wear
er as one who has not thrown away
his patriotism with the uniform. 1t
means that he has not "passed the
buck" to someone else to see that the
sick and disabled buddies get justice
and to fulfill all those things that he
desired to result from the war.
Every man in the service hoped to
better things after the war. More than
two million doughboys, gobs and gyr-
enes realized that it was going to be a
fight to bring to pass all the things
that they dreamed of. The result of this
prevailing sentiment was the formation
of the American Legion.
Legion members are from every
branch of the service. from those who
were forced to remain at home to men
who won the congressional medal at
Chateau-Theirry and in the Argonne. 1t
includes all ranks from private to gen.
eral.
Our Legion post can be the most ben
efcial organization in this community.
Its purposes are high; its ideals are
untarnished. 1t deserves your support
and the membership of every war vet
eran. Join Heppner post of the Amer
lean Legion and make It the best post
in your state. JAS. F. COOKE,
Commander Heppner Post No. 81.

Colorado Potato Beetle
Appears in Heppner
(By C. C. Calkins.)

The Colorado potato beetle has made
its appearance in fields around Heppner
and are present in numbers sufficient to
be alarming in case immediate steps
are not taken TO control il. Those who
are not familiar with the potato beetle
can see specimens of the adults, larvae
and the eggs in the window of Humph-
reys Drug store.
The adult beetle spends the winter in
the ground, appears in the spring by the
time the potato has put out its sixth
pair Of leaves and deposits the eggs on
the under surface Of the foliage. These
hatch out in ten to twelve days and the
slugs will feed upon the foliage and il
present in any numbers will rapidly eat
all the leaves off Of the plant. These
then enter into the soil as pupate and
then emerge as beetles again to in turn
lay eggs which will hatch and also ma
ture here during the season.
Immediate steps should be taken to
control them. Every man who has any
potatoes should examine his field and
see whether they are present.
They can be controlled where found
on limited areas by hand picking the
beetles and larvae and destroying them.
If they are present in any numbers or
you have large acreage you should
make arrangements Immediately to
spray these potatoes with the solution
Of calcium or lead arsenate made up of
three pounds to 100 gallons Of water.
This will have to be applied so that it
will reach the under surface Of the
leaves. A second and third spraying
should be applied at two week intervals.
1t will perhaps be easier to apply the
poison as dust on a limited area. One
part of lead arsenate should be added
to about 5 parts of sifted wood ashes
and this can be sifted through coarse
bag.
If in doubt as to whether you have
potato beetles or not we will be glad to
inspect them for you if you will call the
county agents Office. Every field where
they appear should be cleaned up be-
cause if they get started in this section
it will mean that it will be necessary
to spray two or three times every year
or it will be impossible to raise pota-
toes. Now is the time to get them. Do
your part.

Mr.. Blackman Is Now
Here On Annual Visit

Henry Blackman arrived in Heppner
on Sunday, coming in from Portland,
and will visit with his relatives in this
city for a few days. Mr.. Blackman
makes his home at San Francisco but
still retains interests in this city and
is called here once or twice a year to
look after his affairs. Always loyal
to the old home town, Mr.. Blackman
never fails to give US boost on proper
occasion, as witness the following from
"Those Who Come and Go" column of
the 0regonian:
Morrow county people in Portland
will celebrate with a reunion in LAUREL
hurst park on July A. says Henry
Blackman. Although he lives in San
Francisco, Mr.. Blackman insists on reg
istering from Heppner and every year
he sends money for his subscription to
the Heppner Gazette in order to keep in
touch with his old home Mr.. Blackman
is president of the Morrow County So
ciety, which embraces about 200 former
residents of that county who live in
Portland. Most of the Morrow county
contingent are from Heppner, and a
dozen of them hold daily session in
the Imperial lobby and discuss the wea-
ther and crops and sheep and lands of
Morrow county just as though they
were sitting on the sidewalk of the
principal hotel in Heppner."

Howe's Big Circus to
Be Here Next Saturday

Few aerialists, no matter how daring,
work without first minimizing their
danger by the erection of safety net
directly under them and ten or a dozen
feet above the ground. More fearless
and death defying than all others, the
performers with Howe's Great London
Shows, which will exhibit Saturday, July
l, in Heppner use neither life belts nor
nets, depending entirely upon their own
courage, confidence and powers. The
terrific startling and hair-raising feats
these conceded meteoric kings and
queens perform high above the heads of
the fear-gasping spectators are such
few persons dare risk. The members
of one troupe particularly appear to be
without nerves or fear. They pass and
repass from bar to bar, from ring to
ring, and subsequently from bar to
landing place with an amazing skill
and judgment. The members Of another
family actually fly through space, their
bodies revolving like swiftly moving
balls. They toss, catch and pass each
other with astonishing unconcern. The
many performers with Howe's Great
London Shows are likewise post-gradu-
ates of their professions, having been
culled from the top-most circles of Am
erican and European artists. Then there
are scores of marvelously educated wild
and tanned animals and whole univer-
sity of ludicrous clowns. These funny
fellows cause children to go into parox-
isms TO laughter and elicit smiles from
even savants, philosophers and the
gravest of scientists. They send spin
sters and bachelors into ecstacies Of
merriment. Lack of space prevents the
naming of all the mighty features to
be found in these big shows, suffice to
say they are the newest and greatest
money can procure.

Heppner ball tossers journeyed to A

Heppner ball tossers journeyed to Ar
lington Sunday and won from the Gill
lam county boys in 2-12 score. The
day was very warm and the game is re-
ported to have been equally as warm,
as it stood 2-2 tie at the end of the
seventh. In the eighth Heppner ran up
ten tallies and Arlington went down on
the count, evidently having gone to
smash at critical time in the game.

"Cupids Court" Closes
When F female Jurist Gets
High Voltage Proposal
