MORROW COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPEH
KEEP MONEY AT HOME.
Stores in Heppner sell for less
than the merchants along the Colum
bia Highway and much nearer to
Portland than this city is. That is
what a Morrow county farmer re
cently learned when he took his fam
ily on a motor trip to Portland. They
made the trip in easy stages and
stopped at the various towns along
the highway. He found that ia
every instance, articles of food which
he purchased came at a higher
charge than he had been paying at
home. For many years he had also
followed the habit of buying from
mail order houses, but has come to
the conclusion that if Morrow county
is going to get all the things she is
entitled to it is going to be necessary
to keep every dollar at home that is
possible. Therefore he has become
an exponent of the "buy at home"
idea and is spreading this gospel
among his friends and neighbors.
Early reports from harvesting op
erations in Morrow county point to a
good yield. These reports come from
the north end of the county where
the rainfall is slight and the soil is
light. Results thus far are encour
aging. CHIPS ON TWO SHOULDERS.
"Why is it that no matter where
you go you refuse to get along with
the business man in your nearest
city? asks George W. Kable, coun
ty agent for Benton county, Oregon
' Why do you object to working witu
him for the interests of the entire
county?" "And why do you permit
Farmer Smith to do his trading in
some other city, thereby alienating
him from his own? he inquires,
turning to the merchant. "The wet
fare of the county is not served by
refusing to act together, and so long
as the farmer or business man car
ries a chip on his shoulder condi
tions will not change." It's a pull
together spirit that moves a com
munity and spells "progress" which
improves conditions and increases
the valuation of all property. West,
Florence.
By the way, the Morrow County
Fair is scheduled for September It,
12 and 13 this year and it is not too
soon for every citizen to begin tak
ing his active part to make it the
biggest success ever.
We might ask some of our out-of-
town visitors what they think of our
comfort station. We venture the
assertion that some of them might
refer to it as a "discomfort" station.
The idea of the comfort station is
uodliness so we fear that the con
dition of our comfort station as it
now exists, does not present an up
lifting influence to say the least.
Spring house cleaning slipped by
and the Heppner "comfort station1'
has been overlooked.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
Citizens of Heppner should be care
ful not to repeat the Nero stunt. If
we wait too long in effecting an effi
cient fire department we may not
even be able to save the fiddle. Let's
all get together and get busy.
' The airplane is no longer in the
early stages of development. It is
now at the point of being accepted
as one of our valuable commercial
assets. Heppner will be behind if
she don't at least begin to select and
lay out a landing field for the con
venience of the many ships of the air
which will be making this town a
port in the near future.

THERE IS A CHARM A SURPASSING EXCELLENCE ABOUT
Welworth Blouses
TILVT IS OFTEN IMITATED
but even though 'tis said that "imitation is the sincerest form of
flattery" imitation is, at best, merely an imitation; and after all, it is
easy to distinguish "Welworth blouses for every "Welworth" blouse has
a distinctive 4 4 Welworth ' ' label.
We are proud of our connections with
the manufacturers of Welworth Blouses
and Wirthmor Waists; glad to sell their
product to our friends, for we know that
those who purchase will always be more
than pleased with the unfailing combina
tion of durability and style with which
these garments are characterized.
Welworth blouses are smart, becoming and may be had in models
that are quite elaborate with exquisite trimmings or those that are
equally effective in their charming simplicity.

Another line of self-evident excellence is
The Mina Taylor Dress
You only have to see them to recognize their superiority to other
lines of ready-made dresses superior in material, superior in styles,
superior in workmanship. Mina Taylor dresses in Khaki for outing
or camping in gingham or percale for house Avear and in finer fabrics
for afternoon wear.

terialthat is the sure way to get them.
