FAIR GROUNDS TO BE IMPROVED
FOR PURPOSE
Piny Ground For Chi!drei, Camp
Ground For Tourists, Resting
Places and Comforts Planned
ODD FELLOWS CELEBRATE
100th ANNIVERSARY
The civic center idea is beginning
to permeate the people of Heppner.
While the erection of a community
house as a memorial to the soldiers
of Morrow county will probably be
deferred until after the hotel and
several other much needed buildings
are completed, members of the Civic
Improvement Club decided at their
last meeting that a public park,
where the children can play in safe
ty, where tourists mav canm with
j'ifne degree of comfort, where shop
' .-8 from the country may find some
conveniences and a place to rest,
pending the completion of a hotel, is
a public necessity and one that must
be supplied without further delay.
A peculiarity of the civic club
members is that when they com
mence thinking about something tlhat
Heppner needs their thoughts bring
speedy action.
It was noted by these progressive
women that the Morrow county fair
grounds are used for fair purposes
only a very few days each year and
without wasting much time talking
about It they went to the fair board
and secured permission to improve
the grounds for park purposes.
The plan Is to Improve the ground
in such a way as make them of
benefit to the entire community
throughout the summer months.
Playgrounds' for the children with
swings, bars and other apparatus
will be provided, walks will be laid
out, some flowers will be planted and
seats and tables will be furnished
" where people from the country who
so desire, may eat their' lunches In
preference to going to the hot and
overcrowded restaurants.
A portion of the grounds will be
set aside as a camping place for
tourists and many conveniences for
home people and visitors will be
available which have not been possi
ble tSie past year.
The ladles of the Civic Club have
secured the Star Theatre for next
Wednesday evening when two extra
flue shows will be given for the bene.
fit of the park fund. The first per
formance will begin at 7:3ft. The
picture program at each show will be
Interspersed with specialty features
by some of Heppner's best local tal
ent. A Park Day will be named soon
when every ablebodled man la Hepp
ner It expected to turn out and
assist In putting the grounds In or
der. The Herald Is advised by ttVe
park committee that the men who at
tend this party will be expected to
WORK. There will be plenty of la
dy bosses on the Job to direct the
various maneuvers.
A delegation of three-linkers:.,
members of Willow Lodge, I. 0. O.
F., went to Pendleton Saturday to
talce part in the big celebration of
the 100th anniversary of the estab
lishment of Odd Fellowship in tlio
United States, joining in the event
with the Oddd Fellows of Pendleton
and adjoining towns.
Among those in attendance were:
Hanson Hughes, Ora Adkins, Free
man Frye, Ed Bucknam, Jim Archer,
and Bert Hall. They repoprt a
most enjoyable trip and royal enter
tainment from the Pendleton lodge.
IRISH CLAIMS HAVE

Assurance Given Frank Walsh Who

Paris
GROWING UP
LAD, DRAGGED BY POXY, DIES
Edward, ten-year-old son of Mr.
and Mrs. Royal E. Tyler, of near Lex
ington, met his death last Tuesday
afternoon by being dragged by a
saddle pony on which "he was driving
cattle to the pasture. Riding faBt to
turn some of the stock towards the
pasture, it is believed the pony either
stumbled or turned too quickly for
the lad who was thrown from the
saddle his foot becoming fastened in
the stirrup. He was dragged about
a quarter of a mile before the leather
gave way releasing him. Mr. Tyler
hurried to Khe boy and carried him
to the house where it was found he
had suffered a bad fracture of the
skull over the right eye and numer
ous abrasions and bruises all over
the body. He lived but half a hour.
The funeral was held Friday, in
terment being in the Lexington cem
etery.
L
CIVIC CLUB LADIES CAMPAIGN
FOR CITY BEAUTIFUL
'Plant a Dahlia" Slogan of Project
To Make City Blaze With
Beauty
That Ireland's claim for national
Independence will receive due con
sideration at the Paris peace confer
ence or the league of nations, was
the assurance given Frank P.
Walsh by President Wilson accord
ing to recent advices from the
French capitol. President Wilson,
so the report goes, has also given
assruance that efforts will be made
to Induce Lloyd-George to receive a
delegation from the Irish Congress
to state their ease and make their
claims.
Mr. Walsh, ex-Governor Dunne, of
Illinois and Michael Ryan, of Phila
delphia, are in Paris representing
the American commission to secure
Irish independence and they have
been for some time striving to obtain
a hearing for the Irish delegates. Do
Valeria, Griffiths and Ccunt Flunk
ett, at the peace conference and
President Wilson's timely assiftance
should prove of great value to the
cause.
Although the Irish delegates real
ize that the Irish question may
prove to be a subject to be consid
ered by the league of nations rather
than the peace conference they want
the big leaders like Wilson, Lloyd
George and others to hear thler case.

So far the Fifth or Victory Liberty
Loan drive in Morrow county "has
been rather tame but this does not
mean that Morrow will be a laggard
In going over the top by the closing
days of the campaign. An unusuul
ly busy time among the farmers' and
stockmen has prevented an active
campaign up to this time but Chair
man McCarty announces a meeting
for next Friday evening at the coun
cil chamber when arrangements will
be made to make a whirlwind drive
through tUio Heppner district to fln-
Irh the county's quota.
Emmett Callahan, chairniun
Heppner is to be known as the
"Diihlia City."
Such at least Is the edict sent
forth by the Ladies Civic Improve
ment Club from their meeting held
in the council chamber last Wednes
day and when the women of Hepp- .
ner make up their several minds in
composite form regarding any propo
sition in which they are interested
and then agree to unite their tact
and wit and brains and otiher femin- "
ine methods of persuasion, the rest
of us may as well get gracefully in
to line and, in this case, get ready
to plant bulbs.
The dahlia is an asteraceous, tuberous-rooted
herb, native of Mexico
but that does not hinder it from be
ing one of the most gorgeous of the -myriad
flora that b,edeck with beau
ty the hills and vales of the western
hemisphere, and the ladies of Hepp
ner have. decided that Queen Dahlia,
with , her multi-colored court shall
make her headquarters 'here.
A committee from the club has al
ready canvassed the business men of
the city and secured their wiling
pledges to plant dahlias in the park
ing In front of their busincs places
and of course every lawn and garden
In town will blaze with floral beau
ty ere the summer wanes because,
forsooth, the ladies are usually mis
tresses of the homes and lawns and
gardens and wtoat they desire there
is always an accomplished fact.
A Dahlia social will be held ai the
home of Mrs. Sam E. Van Vactor
tomorrow (Wednesday) afternoon
(May Day) at nrhich the details of
the dahlia program will be definite
ly worked out. Every member of
the civic club is Invited to be pres
ent at this social which will be &
nioBt important affair from the)
standpoint of civic Improvement. A
musical program will add to tho
enjoyment of fhe afternoon.
Arrangements will probably bet
made by which the civic club will be
able to supply dahlia bulbs to each,
member.
