Have you done that Christmas shopping yet? The Second Annual Morrow County Poultry Show comes on the 7, 8, and 9th of next month. Are you preparing your exhibit? We understand that there are upwards of ten men who would wear the chief of police insignia under the new city administra tion. Our crop of wheat was a little short of last year, but still the Heppner warehouses have a well filled appearance at the present time, and wheat is being un loaded at the local houses daily. By reading the advertisements in this paper you will find there is no necessity for sending your orders away for Christmas goods. Anything at all that you are likely to want, can be purchased right here at home. Fair Board Reports. Heppner, Ore. Dec. 8, 1913.

Many nice and useful special prizes are being offered by Hepp ner business this season for the poultry show exhibitors. Some of these are ornamental only, but many will be useful articles in the poultryman's line and should be means of greatly stimulating interest in the show. Mike Kenney, prominent stock man of this county, was trans acting business in Heppner on Tuesday. Chas. Groshens has been busy this week triming up the many trees on the Nattter property on upper Main street. Wanted, to rent, housekeeping rooms. Not less three rooms wanted.

She has been going to school at Kirkland, Wash, for the past three months. A new docs, was installed in the aeaemhly room this week. It not only keeps ub informed as to the time, bat also announces tilass periods. Bnt it is more important yet because it saves the superintendent many trips into the room. Monthly cards were handed out Thursday last and there were many glum faces as the oards were read. We note with sorrow that the instruct ors are beginning to nse the back of the cards. It surprises ns when we see onr shortcomings down in Diack and white. Minor & Co. have their big stork of Olitistmaa gifts opened ud and on display.
