4-H Club Boys and
Girls to Present
Outstanding Fair
Sheep Show Largest
East of Cascades;
Judges Announced
The call of lamb to ewe, the ner
vous blat of highly bred calves and
the excited squealing of pure bred
pigs tomorrow morning will usher
in the largest livestock fair in Mor
row county since the old county fair
days. Judging will begin at 8:30 and
will continue all day. Professor O. M.
Nelson of Oregon State college will
place sheep and wool exhibits. Pro
, fessor Nelson is due in Vancouver,
lB. C, next Monday to judge the Ca
nadian show. It is a tribute to the
quality of the sheep shown by Mor
row county 41H club members that
Professor Nelson has arranged to
take in our show again this year.
The Mororw County fair has been
characterized as the largest Oregon
sheep show east of the Cascades.
Roy C. Wright, county agent of
Sherman county, will judge cattle,
swine and showmanship contests.
The showmanship contests, which
place emphasis on the fitting of the
animals and the manner in which
they are shown, are becoming in
creasingly popular at all 4-H club
fairs. In these contests all club mem
bers are placed on an absolutely
even basis. The quality of the ani
mals used in this contest has no
bearing upon the place won by the
club member. A boy might stand
last in his class as regards quality of
his calf but still might win first in
the showmanship contest. Mr. Wright
has had wide experience both in
training 4-H club members and in
judging these contests and is in de
mand at 4-H club fairs.
Some excellent white-face cattle
will be shown by Roy Robinson. A
novelty feature of the fair will be
some deer, which will be shown by
Clarence Bauman. In the 4-H club
room in the county pavilion, the 4-H

an i augury of fine autumn weather as the country's
inhabitants for a hundred miles around make ready
to visit this carnival capital for the next three days.

flow crowd for the 16th annual Heppner Rodeo, and
with all commercial rooms already filled or reserved,

Condon Band Coming I
With Caravan Sunday;
Parade Biggest Ever
More evidence of good neighbor'
liness comes in news this morning
that the Condon band will add tunes
to those provided by the Heppner
school band on Sunday, coming with
a caravan from that neighbor cow
town,
The big public show of Rodeo

Rodeo spirit will be fully released
this evening when the crowd flows
to the county pavilion for dancing
to Vivian Lewis' all-lady band of
Portland, who will also preside at
the same place tomorrow and Satur
day evenings.
Tonight also the Browning Amuse'
ment company will start their rides,
shows and concessions along the
midway at the corner of Main and
Center streets. Heralded as the
cleanest amusement company on the
road, with two years of satisfactory
Rodeo relationships to their credit,
this company has the recommenda
tion of E. R, Schafer, concessions di
rector. All three days Heppner will again
proudly show her championship
school band, and at the arena per
formances each afternoon they will
hold sway under the direction of
Harold Buhman in the newly con
structed bandstand on the grounds
across from the grandstand.
Heppner, town and citizens, is in
festival garb to add to the town's
hospitality for the next three days.
All is set for an enjoyable season
of relaxation and fun. The latch
string is outside the door.

eryone opportunity to attend the

purchases accordingly.

Eight Relay Strings
In Lists; Boy Roman
Rider Show Feature.
Cody Dodson, past Rodeo buck
ing champion, leads the invasi6n of
show performers as representative
of the northwest's own association
of rodeo and round-up top-hands,
with word that members of his as
sociation would rather show at
Heppner than any place on the globe.
Performers have been coming in
for several days, but as the lists do
not open until 8 o'clock this evening
a detailed line-up cannot now be
given. .
Kenneth Depew has had the buck
ing horses here for a week and a
large! crowd assembled to see them
limbered up at Heppner's natural
amphitheater Sunday. His brother,
Lloyd, is also on deck, and these two
colorful performers at many past
Rodeos will be in there dishing out
performance of professional caliber.
The Wild Dilinger that made John
Tubbs bucking champion last year,
is among the outlawed dumb deni
zens of the rangeland to do bucking
in the finals along with Airplane
and Golden Jim who have been busy
making bad reputations for them
selves at St. Paul and other shows
this year.
Assurance is had that Bobby
Smith, 12-year-old St Paul youth,
with his Roman ponies will be on
hand to give Rodeo goers an extra
big slice of entertainment for their
money.
Featuring the largest number of
horses ever present at Rodeo are the
racing ponies. Eight relay strings
are giving Rodeo directors a bit of a
headache to know just what to do
with them all, but they're going to
be shown to the best possible ad
vantage. Harlan Kelly, Walla Walla,
is touted as having some of the fast
est bang tails, but will find hot com
petition in the featured and flat
races from Harry Dick, Umatilla In
dian; Jim Shoester, Toppenish In
dian; Tim Derry, Eugene, another
past Rodeo bucking champion; Ted
Baisden, Bob Baze, Merle and Frank
Swaggart, and Burns who is on the
way from Walla Walla.
Long-horned steers and muley
calves for the dogging and roping
are in the corrals, too, ready to test
mettle with the tophands, many of
whom were in the arena this morn
ing for a warm-up.
Norville H. Martin, deputy gov
ernor Lions International for Oregon,
was a visitor in the city this morn
ing. Mr. Martin operates a large
fruit acreage near The Dalles.
Mr. and Mrs. Charles Hiatt of Pen
dleton are over-Rodeo guests at the
ohme of their daughter, Mrs. Andrew
Baldwin, and family.
