HEPPNER
Secretary Smead, of the Mor
row County Fair association, fur
Dishes the following outline of
the coming Fair as worked out
at the present time:
"The Fifth Annual meeting of
the Morrow County Fair will be
the best ever held if the peo
ple of Hepprer and Morrow
county will co-operate" with the
Fair Board.. This can be done in
many ways, the great need be
ing for the people to get togeth
er exhibits of fruits and vege
tables. Extra large specimens
are not necessary to wiu prem
iums; trueness to type and co
lor, and freedom from blemish
are much more important.
On the first day of the Fair it
is the desire of the Fair Board
to have all autos in the county in
the auto parade if possible. .It
is of interest to most people to
see and Know about how many
autos belong in Morrow county.
Get your machine in line and
help make a big showing.
On the second day it is the de
sire of the Board to have the
Farmers' Union take charge of
the proceedings and make this
day a real Farmers' Union day
Mrs. Edith Tosier Weath
erred, secretary of the Womens'
Grange Organizations of the
Willamette valley, will be pres
ent and will addr ss the Union
and the union is invited to se
cure other speakers and to ar
range their own program for
the day. The Fair association
will furnish the band for this oc
casion and do everything possi
ble to assist in making this a
Big Day, and if the Union mem
bers will help it can be made the
biggest affair ever pulled off by
the Union in eastern Oregon.
The Board has taken great
pains in securing tirst-class at
tractions in the way of free am
usements and feels sure that
these features will please all
visitors. Jazzabo and Impo are
two attractions which are guar
anteed to make the blues take a
back seat. 1 vou have never
had a good laugh or if you think
you have troubles that make
laughing a hard matter, Jazzabo
will make you forget that there
ever was such a thing as trouble
in the world.
Don't think for a minute that
the fireworks we are advertising

Utah Wet vs. Utah Dry
"At the 1916 convention of the
National W'oolgrowers at Salt
Lake." says the Weakly Bulldog
er man in the East Oregonian,
"eastern Oregon was represent
ed by 50 or more sheepmen and
a couple of hundred suitcases.
The 1917 session is now on and
Eastern Oregon is represented
by three delegates and three
small hand grips."
The Bulldogger man is partly
in error about the suitcases but
his statement probably accounts
for the fact that when Joe Wtl
kins aud Em melt Cochran 1 left
for the Salt Lake convention last
week they are said to have taken
suit cases and gone via
Montana. All of which goes to
show that these gentlemen have
high reasoning faculties and also
that they have heard tViat the
water iu the Great Salt Lake is
not good for drinking purposes,
Bin FORGET TO BOOST
Of Interest To Cattlemen
Secretary Smead, of the Mor
row County Fair Board, has
been advised by State Veterina
rian W.H. Lytle, that under a re
cent ruling of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board, no tuber
culin test wiil be required of
cattle to be exhibited at the
Morrow County Fa;r. Mr.
Smead asks that this ruling be
given widest publicity among
stockmen and prospective exhib
iturs.
Fireworks Expert Coming
Secretary Smead received a
letter last evening from the
Hitt Fireworks Co advising that
the Fireworks for the Fair had
been shipped and that Mr. W.
E. Priestly will arrive in Hepp
ner Sept, 11 to take charge of
that feature. Mr. Priestly is an
expert in his line and had entire
charge of all the fireworks at
the San Francisco Exposition.
This feature will be the finest
ever nut on in this section of
Oregon.
Every business man and woman in lleppner, every work
ingman and woman, every housewife, everv boy ami girl,
should constitute himself or herself into a committee of one
to boost for the Morrow County Fair, to be held September
13, 14, and 15. Everybody in Heppner should boost for the
Fair because the Fair will help Morrow County and what
ever he'lps Morrow County v'illl help Heppner.
Every man, woman- and fluid im Morrow County, outside
of Heppner, should bojst for th ? Fair l,viuse the Fair will
help Heppner and everything that helps Heppner will help
Morrow county.
If the proper spirit of co-operation is Riven free rein if
the community of interest idea is played up in the spot
light from now untill the Pith of oeptember the coming
Fair can be made the biggest and best and most profitable
to the city, county and outside visitors, in the history of the
association.
What has made Pendleton the brggest town of its size in
the world? The Round-Up. What has given the Rnund-Up
nation-wide fame? Pendleton. It is the Pendleton spirit the
get-together-boost-together idea that pervades not only
Pendleton but every nook and corner of Umatilla county
that has made the Round-Up possible and the same spirit
transplanted in Heppner and Morrow county Van make the
Morrow County Fair as big a thing to Heppner and Mor
row county, comparatively speaking, as the Round-Up
is to Pendleton and Umatilla county.
Pendleton has a population of 7,50(1. Last year, during the
Round-Up the; town entertained HO, (KM I visitors for three
days four guests for every man, woman and child in the ci
tyand they were well entertained. Every home in the ci
ty was thrown open. Every extra bed and col was in use.
Heppner with a population of 1500 can entertain 5000 or
6000 visitors at the Fair if they can induce that many to
come, and boosting the Fair is what will bring them. Pen
dleton people are just people just as Heppner people are just
people. We can do, relatively, as much as they can do.
It isgtll a question of thinking we can do these things and
then getting together and doing them.
Heppner and Morrow County have license to have the very
best County Fair in Oregon and it's up to t Tie people of town
and county whether or not we shall have it this year. A lit
tle effort , a bit of enthusiasm, a hearty boost individually
and all together will turn the trick. Boost the Fair. Booed the
Fair. '
Cowgirl Queen Visits Heppner.
Miss Bertha Blanchctt, Cow-1
jirl Queen of the Round-Up, and
winner of uiany honors in the
rough rider arena, was a Hepp
ner visitor today being on a tour
jf tue state in the interest of the
interest of the liouu-1 Up. Miss
Klanehett was specially delegat
ed by (tie management to per
sonally bear an invitation to the
Round Up to the Rev, Billy Sun
day, of Hood River, and was
nisi returning from that mission.
Ivov. Billy reluctantly declined
the invitation because of a pre
vious engagement to round up
the Devil in California. Every
body will want to attend the
luuiud-Up just to see Miss Blan
i heit ride 'etu straight up, if for
no other reason.

Anyoue who doubts the truth
of the above caption should take
a look at the sample of corn iu
the show window of the Herald
office and revise their opinion.
The sample shown in the Herald
window was grown by Andy
Cook, of Heppner. on hill land
and without irrigation and will
compare favorably with the real
Missouri product. Mr, Cook
says he had not been up to see
the crop for several weeks and
oine of bis neighbors told him
there was nothing there but a
little cow fodder. He went up
Wednesday morning with the
intention of cutting the stalks
or feed and found a line crop of
well eared corn. Many of the
stalks carry four perfect ears.
The ears measure about nine
inches in length and curry 14
rows of grains. Tho seed was
secured from the O. W. R. A N. ,
Co.
On bis irrigated ground on the
creek Mr. Cook has a wonder
ful crop of vegetables, etc. One
squash now measures 52 inches
circumference and is still
growing. X tie squash crop is
the third crop produced on the
same plot of ground this season.
''irsl he took off a crop of early
onions, next a crop of radishes
and now has a crop of squash a-
bout ready to harvest.
Mr. Cook's exhibit at tho
Fair will bo worth the price of
admission to the entire show.
In our new location the Herald
has an attractive show window
in which we will bo glad to give
space in which to exhibit spoci.
