Groom that bird.
Good Morning! 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.

TEACHERS' EXAMINATIONS.
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.

High School Notes.
We are triad to welcome Miss Melba
Griffiths '15 back to Heppner High.
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

though Santa Clans was mating his
heacqnarters there. They certainly
have a fine line.
