BOOKS ARE CLOSED
" Thn registration books for the year
1913 were closed at the Cousty Clerk's
office on Monday evening and the
office force are closing no the books,
getting the supplies ready and pre
paring to distribute the ballots for
the Speoial election on Nov. 4.
The total registration is 65 men
and 203 women. The men had regis
tered for the mngt part for the 1912
election and were not required to
register aeain for this special elect
ion .but some who had not attended
to this dntv were given the privilege
of oonrsn at this time As the duties
of citizenship were but recently con
ferred upon thn women of the state
they appear to have the best of the
men on the registration books.
However, there should have been a
much larger registration of women at
this time and many of those who did
not get on the books may wish to vote
on election day but they will be shut
out, as the law now refuses recogni
tion to any ecxeot thev have thoir
names properly recorded upon the
register of the precinct iu which they
reside.
A summary of the 1913 registration
hy parties, shows as follows: Re
publicans, 154; democrats. 59; prohi
bition 26; socialists, 15; independents
7; progressives, 1 ; no party rr refuted

Mr. Conner's Reply.
Heppner, October 9 I regret very
much that Mr. Patterson has been
led to believe that I acted toward my
wife in the shameful manner indicat
ed by his reply to my first statement
I would be pleased o place before
the court proof that such was not the
case, and bat I was abla to, and did
at all times provide the best of care
for her and that without any necessity
of county aid.
Hence Mr. Patterson must see that
the oourt was in error in allowing the
claim without first giving me a hear
ing. ' Chas. O. Conner.
Do you contemplate having any
work done in the line of building?
f so give Harry Johnson a chance
to figure with you. First class work

North Portland, Oregon,
Oct. 13, 1913.
Mr. W. W. Smead, Secy.
Morrow County Fair,
Heppner, Oregon.
Dear Sir:
I have been hearing all sorts
of good things about your first
annual Fair. Portlanders who
made the trip are very enthusi
astic over your displays. From
press notices I have seen I ima
gine you good people of Heppner
have never realized before how
good the Lord has been to you.
I trust this is the beginning of
one of the best County Fairs in
the State of Oregon. By the
time Fair Season rolls around
again hope your rail schedule will
be arranged so that your many
friends from Western Oregon
may make you a visit with the
loss of one day only, instead of
three as at the present time.
Many such successful Fairs scat
tered over the state means a more
successful State Fair, helps us
with our big Pacific International
Live Stock Exposition, and makes
a fine feeder for the Pacific In
ternational at San Francisco in
1915. Believe that no one in
your community can be more sin
cerely glad of your great success
this year than myself.
Yours very truly,
O. M. PLUMMER,
Secy.

SCHOOL NOTES.
By Supt. Notson.
The enrollment cards for the free
correspondence course in writing will
be sent to the rnral teachers within
a few days Those desiring to tase
the course should sign the cards and
retorn them to the connty superin
tendent at once. Every teacher
ghonld take advantage of this free
course. It will not require much
time, and the onlv expeusa will bo
the postage both ways on your mano
scripts. If yon expecc to do the best
wrok in teaching writing. oa should
take this course.
The time of year lias arrived when
it is necessary to hare heat in the
schoolroom and the room musi be kept
more closely closed than durinu the
warm weather. Great cure should be
taken to see that the ventilation is as
nearly perfect as possible. If win
dow hoards are provided, make use of
them. If thev ate not provided, try
in soma way to secure them. Da not
allow any pupil to sit in a draft. At
intermissions the room should be
flushed with fresh air. It will fre
quently pay to stop work a few min
utes, and while the pupils march or
engage in some calisthentic diill,
open the windows. The pupils will
work enough bettei to make no for
the time. The value of pure air in
the schoolroom can not he over esti
mated. There should also be some
moisture introduced into the air of the
schoolroom. A vessel of some sort
containing water should be kept on the
stove all the time This is more im
portant than many suppose.
The light should be carefully ref
lated. The shades should be in good
working order. Do not permit the
sunlight to fall upon any pupil's desk
or book. The shades on the side of
the room away from the sun, should
be run up close to the top. The best
light comes in from the top of the
window. Do not shut out the light
on that side for the sake of having
the shades drawn so thev "look well."
On a very bright day, it may be
necessary to soften the light. With
proper ventilation and lighting, many
of the vexing problems of discipline
disappear.
As the evenings grow longer, the
debating and literary societies should
he organized. An occasional spelling
match might be held. The organiza
tion of a parent-teachers association,
if properly handled will prove of
great benefit. The school should be
made a social and civic center. Don't
sav you can't but try something along
one or more of these lines.
Attention of teachers and others
interested is directed to Sections 10)
and 101 of the school law in regard to
fire drills.
School officers mr obtain copies of
the new school law by railing at the
office of the county superintendent.
