In Holiday Attire.
EXPECT BEST SHOW

Conleetinti Signed.
Heppner it again in gala attire,
flaunting bunting and flags on every
hand, while s varicolored mob, be
decked in gay shirts and bandsnai,
topped oft with huge sombreros,
surges through the streets, swsiting
the clarion call for the 1925 Rodeo
opening this afternoon. The sun
casts its direct rays from a clear slcy
on a city tense with expectation for
-the best show yet produced in the
local amphitheatre.
Tomorrow morning The Dalles
band will be on hand for the last two
days of the cowboy celebration. At
ten o'clock each of the last two days
it will lead a procession of Morrow
county's choicest horseflesh, mounted
by Rodeo talent and large numbers
of town and country people priding
themselves on their ability to "throw
a wicked stirrup." More colorful
and majestic parades than these have
probably never before been wifnessed
In our city. Horses will prsnce for
blocks to the strains of the snspoy
music, seemingly well aware of the
important part that is theirs in this
holiday event. Of course there will
be clowns, too, and a number of ma
queraders, who lend much to the
success of a parade.
The show is just starting; the
erowd grows hourly, and by Saturday
there promises to be a record attend
ance at the Heppner Rodeo, celebrat
ing its fourth anniversary.
Tha parade Is but a forerunner of
the main attsretions at the afternoon
ahow. Every device konwn by which
i cowboy may show his skill hss been
prepared. The big event always is
the bucking contest, but this is pre
ceded and followed by many other
interesting numbers including rsces,
many and varied, calf and steer rop
ing, steer and bull riding, bareback
riding and mule riding. The cow
milking contest, a feature of last
year, has been eliminated. - In its
place bulldogging will be done the
last two dsys.
An added attraction thia year which
will head the program each day is the
chariot race. This should be one of
the most exciting eventa of the day,
say Rodeo managers. Other races in
the line-up sre saddle horse race, re
lay race, quick change race, boys'
pony race, steer maverick race and
cowboy race.
For the bucking contest the Rodeo
management promises the most pre
tentious array of talent yet present
ed at ths local ahow. An added string
of outlaw broncs from Pendleton is
here, including such notorious buck
era as Whistling Annie, Spark Plug,
Rod McHaley, Desolation, Corbett, Ed
Marshall and others. Besides these
the old string which has won fame
locally will be on hand. Of these
Miss Wiggles, Fred Crump, Bobby
Burns and Teapot Dome will be es
pecially remembered. An equally pre
tentious array of bnckaroos is on
hand to match their wita against the
outlaws. Among these are Jack Ter
ry, last year's champion, Lloyd Mat
teson, Emery Moore, Dolph Brown,
Jack French, Kenneth Depuy, Art Al
derman, Ralph Reade, Slim Edwards,
Tex Prlcard, Pat Carley, Cliff John
son, Ross Walling, Roland Golf, and
Monty Halvorsen.
Each evening a big wild west dance
at the Fair pavilion will furnish en
tertainment for a large portion of the
crowd, and no doubt many will wlh
to witness "Let'er Buck" at the Star
theatre, In which Hoot Gibson, ej-Round-Up
performer, does his stuff,
showing Thursday and" Friday eve
nings. Then in between times a large
carnival company, with big ferris
wheel and numerous concessions, will
provide adequate amuaement for all.
The cowboy la indeed having his
day in Heppner this week end,

FIRST MORROW
GRAIN SHOW
IS ATTRACTIVE
County Agent Morse Has Brought
Together a Number of
Fine Exhibits.
Through the effort of County Ag
ent Morse, the first Morrow County
Grain Show, which will be on exhibit
at the store of Peoples Hardware
Company during the days of the Ro
deo, is one of attractiveness, indeed.
In fact, we are sure that the people
who take the time to visit thia ex
hibit will be surprised, and pleasant
by, if the show is maintained, it
gardless of the really tub-normal
grain year for Morrow county. We
are frank to state that the exhibit is
far better than we bad hoped to leg
put on for this year, and Agent Morse
is quite elated himself. It means a
fine beginning, and as the years roll
by, if the show is maintainor, it
should grow into such proportions
as to number of exhibits and the
quality of grains displayed, both sheaf
and threshed, that we shall not be
ashamed to have the show put along
side that of any eounty of the. state.
It is a well established fact that
Morrow county can raise just as fine
grain as any place in the entire
Northwest, and to have a showing as
good as the one on display in Hepp
ner now, following a really poor
grain year, is the source of much
gratification to everyone.
The displays are of threshed grains
entirely, and there are on exhibit
some 60 samples in bushel lots, or
better. Most varieties of grains pro
duced here are exhibited, and there
is at least 35 individual exhibits. The
leading displays are of hard federa
tion, forty-fold and turkey red, and
early baart also has a prominent
place.
Judging will take place on Friday
morning, Paul Spillman of Willows
being the judge in charge. Mr. Spill
man is a Vheatgrower of northern
Gilliam county where he has been
farming for the past four years. For
five years he was county agent of
Union county, and hjs experience is
such as to make him well qualified
for the position of judge of the grain
show here.
Don't fail to take a look at this
display of grains. It is a fine dem
onstration of what can be accom
plished in our county even in an off
year.
Stock Shipments From
Here Large This Year
Agent Darbee at the O. W. R. A N.
depot in this city reports that stock
shipments from this point have been
unusually large for the season, and
up to date he believes the records
of his office will show that the
Heppner branch has kept pace with
alt other points along the line.
Shippers for this week are J. B.
Huddleston of Lone Rock, the S-veek
estate of Monument, Mike Kenny cf
Heppner, I. E. Mcconkie of Condon,

GOOD HEALTH
HABITS ADVISED
(From State Board of Health.)
"Any act often repeated soon
forms a habit and habiU Allowed
steadily gain in stronrth At first
it may be but as the spider's web
easriy broken through, bat if not re
s;stid it soon binds with chains of
she!," Edwards.
Good health habits are dependent
on the power to show control over
the common-place and ordinary situ
ations of life. Habits may become
assets or liabilities. Good health
habits are assets that contribute to
the well being of the individual. Good
habits in regard to the care of the
body eating, sleeping, eliminating,
bathing, are easily acquired and build
up a wealth of health. Good habits
usually spell good health. Habits
that are detrimental to health are
also easily acquired and constitute
a growing liability which sooner or
later reduces the efficiency of the
individual. Many failures are due to
bad habits. Good training makes dif
ficult tasks easy while bad training
makes a simple task difficult.
Health habits affect the whole life
of the individual. Habits determine
the active control of the whole hu
man mechanism.
Good health habits begin with the
habit of right thinking. It is fun
damental that right habit! be formed
in early life. Every one ahouid be
trained to meet the small problems
of living and in this way power will
be developed on regular habits of
muscular exercise. The refreshing
and stimulating habit of regular bath
ing assists in maintaining a healthy
body. Drop breathing, out door liv
ing, moderate eating, moderate exer
cise and regular hours of steep are
the fundamental habits necessary to
insure good health.
The on'y difficulty lies in over
coming the inertia of acquired bad
habits. After one has changed hio
habits, It is just as easy to live right
ly as to live wrongly. Good health
habits are not restrictive but liber
ating. Good health habi's are simply
a meann of emancipating our Ives
from our real limitation.

onel Mitchell's charges aa to general
incompetency in the management of
United States air forces and the aug
gation that Colonel Mitchell, lowered
in rank for telling the truth once,
should now bo arrested for telling the
truth twice.
How could the President, who is
head of the Army and Navy, keep out
of the Mitchell matter? It is not
conceivable that his subordinates,
knowing of the President's readiness
to hear both sides of any question,
would undertake any action without
his approval.
The people do not believe that the
President will permit any action
Colonel Mitchell until the entire avi
ation question shall have been fully
threshed out, including the fiasco in
the effort to fly to Hawaii, and the
catastrophe of the Shenandoah.
It is to be hoped that the Inquiry
when it comes, will not be a white
washing enterprise, but a real in
vestigation. The President will want to know
why the protest of Commander Lans
downe, an experienced airman who
had flown across the Atlantic in a
dirigible, was ignored. The Presi
dent will not want any whitewashing
or any offhand suppression of Col
onel Mitchell, who isn't easily sup
pressed, by the way. He will want
the facts, and will see that he gets
them.
The most disquieting thing in our
so-called defense programme is this
statement attributed to Judge Wil
buiy Secretary of the Navy:
wIn view of the experiences of the
Navy plaiea in the Arctic expedition,
the failure of the Hawaiian flight and
the Shenandoah disaster, we have
come to the conclusion that the At
lantic and the Pacific are still oar
best defenses. We hare nothing to
fear from enemy aircraft that la not
on this continent."
The experience in the Arctic, the
failure of the Hawaiian flight and
dreadful Shenandoah disaster had
nothing to do with capable air navi
gation, but a great deal to do with
incompetent management of oar air
force.
We should have, indeed, nothing to
fear from foreign aircraft if we could
give to foreigners such management
as our aircraft has. Mr. Wilbur's
statement that our oceans are our
best defense sounds like the state
ment of some ostrich saying, "I have
nothing to fear, the sand is my best
defense. I can stick my head into it."
It is suggested that railroads be
forced to combine in great transpor
tation units, and that they make their
own selections "rather than have the
Government do the choosing for
them "
Why not have a selection of well
informed men, railroad men of course,
acquainted with traffic conditions,
make a survey of railroads, and let
the government know which combin
ation should be made in the interest
of economy and efficiency?
President Coolidge will certainly
not think it wise to leave these com
binations to seifish interests based
on opportunities for stock jobbing,
combining broken down road 3 with
good roads for the sake of immediate
profit, rather than more efficiency.
Perhaps for the sake of unloading un
profitable railroads on the stockhold
ers that own profitable roads.
Pauperism is dying out in the Uni
ted States, thanks to better wages,
widows' pensions, more enlightened
medical care, and especially cam
paigns of health advertising, carried
on by the great life insurance com
panies. Of 100.000 in our population, only
71.5 are in poorhou?es now. Aiid
that is exactly 71.5 too many.
In 1914 there were 91.5 out cf 100,.
000 in the poorhouses. Things have
improved since the war forced up
wages.
