CROSS FIRE HITS IN
Of GRADING
Farmers and Federal Grain Inspee-
tors Attack Methods Of j. W.
Church.-Admitted He Worked for
Exporters at Time Of Grading.
(Pendleton Tribure)

Out of fight over the proposal of
the grain inspection dIusion to the
department Of agriculture to revoke
the license of R. C. Snyder, deputy
state grain inspector of Washington
at Seattle, for alleged violation Of the
federal grain inspection law, has
leaked the news that a similar charge
has been preferred in this state
against Chief Grain Inspector ]. W.
Church, and that although there has
been a determined move to keep the
matter from the public, it is likely
that a new grain inspector at Port
land will be named.
Inspector Church is believed by
farmers of this section to be a grain
dealers man and not impartial on the
question Of grain grading. Two-thirds
of the grain shipped from this terri
tory has been doeked about 8 cents
per bushel for smut and shutting
charges and the concrete case upon
which it is proposed to revoke his
license, is that while docking the
farmers for smut he allowed an entire
shipload on the Great City to clear
from Portland with the same wheat,
as smutless grain.
Throughout the year, which Is the
first in which the exporters have been
compelled to ship under federal
grades as well as buying under these
gradesy profits of the exporter have
been cut to legitimate returns accord
ing to local farmers. Formerly the
exporters bought under the federal
grade from the farmers and then
shipped on the Portland type sample,
a lower grade, thus making big mon
ey.
While the federal grain inspectors
are primarily concerned with the en-
,orcement Of the federal grades on ex-
port, by the state inspectors operat-
ing under the public service commits
sion by federal license, local farmers
are more concerned with the dockage
on the grain here. 1t is the eonten-

Million Christians In
Northern Asia MI
nor Cry to Be Saved

Another human tragedy that prom
Uses to rival the Smyrna fire is devel-
oping in northern Asia Minor. The
tide of a quarter of a million Chris
tian inhabitants is sweeping in full
food to the fringes Of the Black sea
and the Mediterranean.
The refugees are clamoring to be
saved. The American naval base at
Constantinople is deluges with S. O.
S. calls from the fotilla of destroy
ers patrolling the Mediterranean and
Black sea coast Of Asia Minor, which
are crowded with Christians fleeing
from the Turk.
Appeals come from every part Of
Anatolia, where whole Christian com
munities are migrating and where the
American near east relief Is working
heroically to overcome almost insup-
erabl obstacles, including the remov-
al of orphans for great distances to
the sea.
Cryptic photographs received today
indicated that "a critical situation
was developing with surprising sud
denness; the whole interior Is blan-
keted with snow, adding immeasur-
ably to the misery of the refugees.
A destroyer relayed dramatic ap-
peal to the near east relief at Con-
stantinople from James H. Crutcher
of Tuscaloosa, Ala, at Samsun, "Can
you take a thousand mountain chill
dren? II not it means their end"
One from the destroyer Lawrence
came from Americans at Trebizond,
declaring: "We cannot hold up evac-
uation of Trebizond orphans much
longer. We are overwhelmed by ar
rivals from the interior. Instruct
Immediately"
From Mediterranean coastal towns
came moving pleas for succor from
tens of thousands Of orphans.
Charles Thurber, of Manchester,
N. H., sent a message: "Must have
$4,000 Turkish pounds to buy bread
for ten thousand destitute orphans
and adults crowding Sivas. The sit
uation is becoming worse hourly. I'm
less additional funds and transpor-
tation are provided Immediately

Fantastic Jules Verne
Novel Subject Of New
European Spectacle

Recent months have seen many
European productions on American
screens. The newest is "The Isle Of
Zorda," a pieturized version of Jules
Verne's novel, Matthias Sandorf, "
produced in France by Louis Nalpas
and distributed here by Pathe.
Jules Verne was the great French
master of fantastic romance. His
thrilling stories, "Around the World
in Eighty Days. "a Journey to the
Center of the Earth" From the
Earth to the Moon" Twenty Thou
sand Leagues Under the Sea-" mich
ael Strogoff," and all others, written
years ago, forecast modern scientific
inventions and discoveries then un-
heard Of. They furnished our fathers
and grandfathers with the action lit
erature of the day. Even today there
is not a public library in the country
that does not supply a demand for
the Verne novels, and the readers are
children as well as grown-ups.
In "The Isle of Zorda," Verne was
at his best. He told the stroy of
Matthias Sandorf, the patriot, who lost
all for the cause of freedom; who dis
appeared for twenty years, and then
appeared as the mystery man from
the mystery "Isle of Zorda." He brot
vengeance and retribution with him
and the manner in which he Squared
things" with his betrayers will stand
for all time unique in the annals of
literature.
The tremendous action, thrill and
suspense are laid in semi Oriental
setting that is as rich in atmosphere
as a tale from the Arabian Nights,
as colorful as a Maxfield Parrish
painting, as thrilling as a melodrama.
"The Isle of Zorda" is the feature at
traction at the Star Theatre Satur-
day. With which will be shown a
Felix comedy and Pathe Review.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES

Last Tuesday night the Junior
class held Thanksgiving banquet
at the school house, the dinner being
cooked by the girls Of the class in
the domestic science kitchen. The
dining room was beautifully decorat-
ed with crepe paper symbolic Of the
season In the center of the table
was a large orange-colored horn of
plenty filed with fruit. The only
light was furnished by candles col
ored in Thanksgiving shades. Miss
Frasier, class advisor, was present
as chaperone. The wonderful dinner
was enjoyed by all those present and
perhaps II was a good thing that
few pies disappeared or the Juniors
might have had the stomach ache.
As il was, that necessary part of
Thanksgiving dinner was left to those
who so kindly relieved the class of
few pies.
Next Monday mock trial will be
given in tie civics class, the case be-
ing a moonshine charge against Reid
Buseick. The trial will be held in
regular court manner.
The Freshman flag pole has been
put up and soon the scrap will be-
gin. The pole is 140 feet high and If
the Freshies themselves ever get their
pennant up it is doubtful if any of
the Sophs and Juniors can get it
down.
Next Saturday, December 2, Burk-
hart and Company, novelty enter
tainers, will put on an entertainment.
They are high class entertainers and
everyone should attend. The enter
tainment will be at the school house
at 8 p. m.
\ preliminary debate tryout was
held Monday night when eight pupils
tried out before the judges, Mr.. He'd
rick, Miss Fleet and Miss Chambers.

Deep Human Story
Besides Big Thrills
Chamberlain Novel Home" Convert
ed to Screen by Cashier for
R-C Pictures.

Besides a number of the most thrill
ing scenes ever flashed on the screen,
including a food that sweeps a vii
lage to destruction, "The Call of
Home" an R-C production being
shown at the Star Theatre Monday
and Tuesday, presents a story of
deep human interest that will appeal
to all classes of theatregoers.
The story briefly is as follows:
Two boys, Gerry Lansing and Alan
Wayne, are brought up together at
Red Hill, the summer home of their
people. Gerry, who has wealth, be-
comes a futile, high-living, conven-
tional repetition of the man of his
class, following the traditions of his
family, and falling into lethargy of
effortless living. He marries Alix,
beautiful, frivolous woman whom he
soon ceases to interest.
Alan plays fast and loose with his
guardians money (Which he supposes
is his own and wins the affection of
the many women who please his
fancy. Alan always has fascinated
Alix, and they drift from Irritation
to infatuation. Gerry grows jealous
and Alix leaves him to go to Alan.
She changes her mind before the
train starts, however, and goes home.
Gerry, supposing that Alan and Alix
have eloped, takes ship for Per-
nambuco, leaving no trace of his
whereabouts. There he becomes en-
tangled with Spanish girl, who res
cues him when he is flung from his
canoe, and they settle down to the
crude life of the wilderness, A great
food carries away Gerry's ditch and
browns Margarita, the Spanish girl,
just as Gerry has met Alan, half dead
of fever when the latter is brought
into the hut in which Gerry is living
with some outcasts. From Alan he
learns that Alix is blameless and has
become the mother of his son.
1t is big theme, handled with
power and with touch that stirs
deep emotion.

There was dearth of turkeys on
the market in Heppnr this Thanks
giving, and people have had to rustic
to get the necessary bird for Thanks
giving dinner. Usually there is an
abundance of turkeys to be had on
the Heppner market, but this season
seems to be an exception. Perhaps
the price has not been quite high
enough to suit the producer, and he
is keeping mis- birds at home for a
better market, expecting to be rid of
them along about the Christmas hol-
idays. Turkeys have been cheaper
on the Portland market this season
than for number of years past.
