Grain and fruit crops over that way are coming along fine but it is not expected that the yield will be so abundant as last season. That coun try is mighty pretty to look upon just now. Coming through the north end of Morrow county it was noted that the crops are maturing well and look fine, promising good yields. By com parison, our own county does not look so bad this season. Heppner people in the city this week included J. G. Doherty, Mar garet and Nora,Doherty, B. A. Taylor and Oscar Taylor.

School Meeting Monday- Mrs. Huston Elected Director At the annual school meeting held Monday afternoon, Mrs. E. R. Hus ton was chosen director to serve for a period of three years and Vawter Crawford was re-elected clerk. As is usual in Heppner, but little interest was manifested in the meet ing and very few attended. W. G. McCarty, chairman of the board for the past year was present and pre sided and after hearing the minutes of the last annual meeting and the reading of the report of the clerk, nominations for director were declar ed in order. W. G. McCarty, Mrs. E. R. Huston and Mrs. T. J. Hum phreys were placed in nomination, the choice going to Mrs. Huston al most unanimously. Mr. McCarty had served on the board for the past six years and did not desire to be re-elected, feeling that he had per formed his full duty to the patrons of the school district in this partic ular. There was no opposition to Crawford for clerk. All the Chautauqua guarantors, committees, and others interested are requested to meet at the big tent, Friday evening, at 7:30. This is a most important meeting. Be sure to be there. Livingstone, Chairman. Ad-Carnival and Bazaar of Chris tian church open Friday and Satur day from 1 to 8 p. m. Very Fine Strawberries Are Grown Down Around Cecil Mrs. Jennie Lowe of Cecil kindly remembered this office with some very fine strawberries one day the past week, sending us a sample from her supply that she was canning and preserving, and informing us that they were grown on Willow creek and wanted us to see what was being produced in this line right at our door. We are frank to say that for color, size and flavor they cannot be excelled. The berries were of the "Improved Oregon" variety and raised by Geo. Hennksen on Straw berry ranch near Cecil. Mr. Hen riksen has been able this year to turn off quite a quantity of these berries for canning and preserving and we hope that he will expand his business to such a point that he may be able to supply the principal part of the trade up and down Willow creek in future seasons. No better berries are produced in any of the famed straw' berry sections of the Northwest than these and it would be a fine thing to have all the money going out from points on the Heppner branch for this fruit every year remain here. We thank you, Mrs. Lowe, for this fine treat and congratulate you on being a consistent booster for Cecil and its products. County Treasurer's Notice Notice is hereby given that all General Fun J Morrow County War rants registered up to and including Novemper 7, 1921, will be paid upon presentation at my office on June 26, 1922.

E SATURDAY, JULY 1ST That time honored yet magical phrase, "are you going to the show?" is the query most frequently heard these days upon every hand both in Heppner and for miles out into the surrounding country. The world famed Howe's Great London Shows are responsible for the question, ar rangements having been completed for them to exhibit Saturday after noon and evening, July 1, in Hepp ner. The small boy and girl are corres pondingly happy and it goes without saying that their elders have the day marked on the calendar, too. Fresh from triumphs abroad, the Howe's Great London Circus has greatly aug mented their shows in every depart ment. This season their spread of canvas covers an area of about nine acres and when erected the big tent alone affords comfortable accomoda tions for 12,000 persons. Overcap ping the three big rings, three elevat ed stages and vast hippodrome track is a veritable maze of trapeze rig gings, bars, rings ropes and appar atus upon which dauntless queens and kings of the air twice defy death in entertaining the thousands of pa trons. Over 300 men, women, child ren and educated animals are em ployed in the presentation of the as tounding program. From the first to the last number, act follows act in rapid succession and with such pre cision and skill as can only be found in Howe's Great London Shows. Throughout me parformance as many as fifteen separate features are simultaneously presented on the ground or in the air and one is kept right busy in watching the myriad of wonders. An important department, free to all who attend the big show, is the triple menagerie which is un questionably the largest and most complete traveling zoo known. The mammoth tent in which this is exhi bited is filled with rare and costly specimens of animal life from all quarters of the globe, captured and shipped direct to these shows by the Howe's Great London Shows own special agent. A visit to the display will prove of far more interest and educational value than a tour of the best known zoological garden in this country or Europe. A little birthday party was tender ed Anabel Turner on Monday after: noon by her mother, Mrs. F. W. Tur ner, the occasion being in honor of her 6th birthday and a few of her little girl friends were present and enjoyed a delightful time. Anabel received many nice remembrances, chief among which was a canary given her by June Anderson, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gay M. Anderson, whose birthday occurred on the same date, and Anabel is very proud of this gift. John Byland was down from Hardman yesterday, his first visit to Heppner in six years.

The del egation from The Dalles was head ed by Pat Foley and J. T. Henry, who had with them a husky bunch of ten other buddies, armed with all the authority, ammunition, accouter ments and instruments of torture necessary, as well as abundant abil ity to deal out the proper amount of misery and torture to the initiates, and it is reported by those going in that they received every ounce that was coming to mem, and then some. In fact, we are informed that a large number more who expect to join the "40 and 8" are just about to back up, feeling that the "zero hour" is just about a little too much for their moral courage; they would just a little rather prefer going up against the "bursts and di'ds" as 'ey once did on the front in France than to face these more modern "enemies."
