A woman waylaid a let ter to her husband addressed In a feminine handwriting and found three of her millinery bills. Earl Gordon says he was under the Iniprewtion that Chopin was the man who started the Modern Wood men until he heard a radio an nouncer pronounce It "Chopang." TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH, WE ARE NOT SURE YET WHAT RIGHT PRONUNCIATION IS, BUT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN WE CAN PLEASE YOU NEXT TIME YOU COME IN TO GET TIRES. WE HANDLE THE FAMOUS GOODYEARS. The receipt for political pie is 1 to use plenty of applesauce and plums. John Skuzeski has it doped out that anybody can shine in society, if he wears the same pants long enough. ' We're not too strong In soci ety, but most anyone will tell you that we are strong when It comes to greasing and washing cars. RICKEY'S RIOTOUS RHYME. Jim Jones was doing sixty, The train went sixty-four; Jim Jones was in a hurry, but He Isn't any more. IT'S A MISTAKE THAT CHI CAGO POLICE WON'T ARREST A BOOTLEGGER. ONE OF THEM LEFT HIS CAR IN FRONT OF A FIRE PLUG AND GOT A TICK ET. DIPPY DIALOGUE Doctor, "Are you In pain?" Little boy, "No, the pain Is in me." And then the fight started, "Women are much better looking than men." "Naturally." "No, artificially." Goodyear has more than 400 en gineers on development, chemical research and service work at a yearly expenditure of $2,000,000. Joe Kenny advances the Idea that perhaps the reason there are so many Irishmen la because, "Once upon a time there were two Irish men," Be that as It may, there Is the guy who calls his empty beer bot tles "MARINES." They did their duty once and they'll do It again. Why not place license tugs under the car and give the ped estrian a chance to get the num ber? That last Idea sounds reasonable, and now we will give you a chance to buy GOODYEAR TIRES at a savings. Come In and investigate. IT WOULD BE FUN TO LAUGH AT THE FAT LADIES WHO BUY REDUCERS, IF THERE WASN'T SUCH A STEADY SALE OF CURES FOR BALDNESS. End of the line. All out. Vaughn & Goodman (HBPFNXB OAUOB) "Whers Quality and Barrio KMt" C. J. Anderson and family were visitors in the city for a few hours on Monday. They had recently re turned from a visit to Mt Vernon and Blue Mountain springs in Grant county, following which they motored over the mountains to Burns and took In the Improvement going on there. Mr. Anderson re ports that it is exceedingly dry over in that part of eastern Oregon. Ernest Heliker, county commis sioner, returned home the past week from Portland, where he went for medical treatment His trou ble was an abscess, and upon this being properly treated, he is now regaining his health. He was at the court house on Monday, having his petition verified and his name will go on the ballot In November as In dependent candidate for county commissioner. R. J. Carsner and son Joe were in the city from their Spray home on Saturday evening. They were ship pers of stock going to the Portland market, joining C. W.

BOARDMAN (Contlnocd from Flnrt Pact) present as she was at Denson's store during Mr. Denson's absence. lhe ladies all worked hard and a splendid dinner was served both days. Miss Audrey Weinken of O. S. C. judged the fancywork, the domestic art and the club sewing. She is assistant state club leader, and is taking Miss Helen Cowgill's place during the latter's Sabbatical leave. O. I. Poulson agriculturaist for the Union Pacific, judged the other divisions. Mr. Poulson was a Smith Hughes supervisor before accepting his present position. There were three general farm displays with first going to Adolph Skoubo, second to Claude Myers and third to Mr. Ludemann. It is hoped that there will be even more than this next year. A good crowd attended the movie Friday night atod the dance on Sat urday night with O'Sullivan's or chestra playing. The crowd was so huge as to make dancing difficult We were indeed pleased to see the interest shown by people from the other parts of the county. Peo ple from Heppner, lone, Lexington, Eight Mile and outlying districts were to attendance. We have won dered for many years and the thought again occurred to us why the grain and wool show could not be combined with the fair, as the premium money all comes from the same source, and there are numer ous flocks on the project, a combin ation of the two shows would make quite a pretentious display. Some lovely quilts were entered by ladles from Morgan and lone. There were some beautiful ones on display and the exhibit of rugs was especially large this year. The worlc of entering all the domestic art is a prodigious task, and Mrs. Ma- Hardeman Hats "The more you know about hats the bet ter you'll like a Hardeman" and the more you know about Hardeman's, the better a Hardeman fan you'll be. In these smart, styleful hats you can always find just the shade, shape and weight you've been looking for one that will look "just right" on you. . .

SHOW OPEN EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK comber and Mrs. Fortier and their helpers deserve much credit Mrs. Faler, superintendent of the dom estic science had one of the largest aepartments, and it entailed an un limited amount of work. Members of the fair board wish to thank all who assisted in making this one of the best fairs that we have yet had. It is difficult to attempt to give credit to persons who helped make the fair a success without unwit tingly omitting some one, but spe cial mention should be made of the work of L. V. Root, president of the fair board who worked unceas ingly in his quiet way, and Mrs. Nick Faler, superintendent of the domestic art and member of the fair board who was on deck early and late and worked almost beyond her strength. The club leaders al so deserve mention for it was hot this summer and the many meet ings and trips took time and work. The honey and bee exhibit was small as usual, for a place that ships honey by the ton. This part of the fair is always trivial. Possi bly prizes offered for products made from honey might add to the in terest We are informed that a bee or honey exhibit means lots of work. The exhibit of baked goods was much larger than usual. In fact it was the best fair we have had, Mrs. L. E. Marschat gave a most delightful party on Tuesday eve ning in honor of her husband's birthday, having the members of the faculty for an evening of cards. At the close of the game a dainty lunch was served. Present were the Misses McMahon, Brown, Shel- lenberger, Mrs. Titus, Mr. Browii and Mr. and Mrs. King and the Marschats. Mrs. Bert Wisdom and Mrs. Mary Wright of Echo spent Thursday at the Rand's home. Mrs. Wisdom is an aunt of Mr. Rands. A change has been made in the church services as Umatilla desir ed another morning service. Eve ning services will be held here the first and third Sunday of each month and the other services will be in the mornings as usual. Mr. and Mrs. G. E. McCoon of Seattle have rented the Highway Inn and will take possession the 20th of the month. Mr. McCoon has been with the Utah Woolen mills and will continue his work as salesman with this company and his wife will have charge of the hotel. The Warners are moving to their ranch. Miss Rachel Johnson is spending the week with relatives in Wasco. Elder Coburn and Elder Becker of Pendleton were overnight guests at the Rands' home last week. The Gaglias from Mosier and the Huffs from Hood River were in Boardman Sunday. Mr. Gaglla went to see Glen Hadley about a hunting trip. They have hunted to gether when the Gaglias lived at Coyote. The Merrits of Irrlgon were din ner guests at the Mead home on Sunday. Mr. Merrit is the agent In charge of the depot at Irrlgon. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Sauders enter tained the Rands family at dinner Sunday. Frank Otto and wife were here from Portland and attended the fair. D. E. Gilman of Heppner was coming to the fair on Friday and as he turned the corner at Heppner Junction he reached for his watch and the car turned over. Although past 80 years of age he was appar ently not hurt in the accident Tho shaken up he drove the car on to Boardman. Through a misunderstanding the Irrigon band did not appear at the fair. The Boardman members of the fair board thought the Irrigon members would look after this and the Irrigon members were waiting for the Boardman members to make the suggestion. The band is always pleasing and adds much to any gathering. Boardman farmers who raised melons this year found It decidedly a case of love s labor lost A car load of melons was unloaded on the track at Boardman, three cars dumped at Irrigon and several cars at Portland. This is heartbreaking as well as backbreaklng for melons mean just that and to spend hours and days hoeing melons and then see them dumped for lack of mar ket is certainly discouraging. Cool weather, lateness of the season and general conditions seem to be the reason for the debacle. At that it wouldn't have been so bad but the farmers are forced to pay a huge sum for demurrage In addition to paying for the picking, loading and unloading. Clark Stevens and family of Heppner came to the fair on Fri day and remained overnight at the camp ground. They brought the Rhea Creek juvenile grange exhibit and some of the club work. Mrs. Claude Coats has been at Denson's store again while Mr. and Mrs. Denson have been at Hot Lake at the bedside of Walter Den son, who has been seriously ill. The public is urged to attend the meeting Saturday night of the grange, when a speaker sent out by the state health department will give a talk on tuberculosis. Call at the post office for prem ium money. Paul Hatch purchased the city light plant and took charge Tues day morning. . Victor Hango will look after the running of it for the time being. Mr. Hatch has planned many Improvements, which the city hopes, will be realized. A few things were left at the fair, which can be had by calling for them at the post office. E. T. Messenger and Nate Macom- ber left for Pilot Rock Sunday to be on deck for the opening of the hunting season. They hunt each year and are usually successful nimrods. A number of children have been ill the past week until it seemed to almost reach the proportions of an epidemic. The Cooney children :siiiiiiiiinniiiiiiimimiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitmmmm Thomson Bros.
