The story has a good moral which is self evident. Here's the story, and It isn't so far fetched, either: "Once upon a time, there was a bright gal named Dora, and she read the Big City Papers and all about the Big Bargains the Big Stores were offering. So Dora said to her husband, she said: "John, you gotta wash the car and fill up the gas tank. Tomorrow, I'm gonna take the kids and go up to the Big City to do a lot 'o fall and winter shopping." John, he was listenin to the fights on TV, so he just grunted, so Dora says again: "John, you gotta get the car ready. John, I'm talkin' to you! Tomorrow, I'm gonna take the kids and go to the Big City to do our fall and winter shopping." "Huh?" says John. "Oh yes, why?" "I can save a lotta money." says Dora. 'There's a Big Sale at Ketcham and Skinnem's. I'll need a hundred dollars." "We can't spare a hundred dollars." says John, "Besides, it's a hunnert miles to the Big Town, Boardman House Destroyed by Fire Fire of unknown origin com-1 dell Kress and daughter, Sandra, pletely destroyed the house on Mrs Kress' mother, Mrs Frances the old Olmstead place Thanks-1 Meyer, and her brother-in-law giving Day about 2:30 p m.

Dora took off bright and early the next morn ing for the Big Town, but the drive took five hours each way Instead of only four, because she had a flat tire -and little Dora got carsick and she couldn't find a parking place and she got a parking ticket, and the kids kept nipping at her heels. So she had to crowd all her shopping into a coupla hectic hours and some of the things she wanted she couldn't find because most of the "bargains" were gone before she got there. But she did find a wonderful buy in fall coats at $29.95 "marked down from $42.50." Only trouble was the Woman Next Door had one Just like it she had picked up for $24.88 in a local store. "Anyhow," said Dora as she collapsed into a chair that night, "it was a beautiful drive." "A Buggy Ride, you mean," said John. "And when do I get some supper?" From The County Agent's Office By NELS ANDERSON By N C ANDERSON Don Robinson of the Kirk and Robinson Hereford ranch near Heppner stopped Into the office a few days ago to report the TO THE EDITOR . . . To The Editor: I read with sadness of the death of Dr M A Leach, of Pen dleton. Our ranks of early-day pioneers, are fast disappearing. Dr Mark A Leach has been a life long friend of this writer, as has other members of his father's family. Just a short time before his death, N A Leach, eldest brother of Dr Mark Leach, wrote me the following, which Is a part of the Leach family history writ ten for my book, "Morrow County History."

'a Off 40 TO 50 Dick, Tom or Harry was not good enough for a fine boy like this, so my mother left it up to the neighbors to suggest a name that would be appropriate. Mark Twain's books were very popular at that time, and they all agreed the new arrival should have the name of Mark, but warned that it should not be made official for a reasonable length of time, reasoning that Mark Twain poss ibly would object, on the grounds cows which were bought of it affecting the sale of his $1000 a head on down. LEXINGTON books. However, after a time it was officially announced the name would be Mark Alonzo Leach, and It has stuck ever since. It has even been extended to at least one of the descendants of said Mark Alonzo Leach. Mark Twain really had no kick coming anyway, for the sale of his books increased materially after that event." I hope the people of Morrow county and Heppner and Lexing ton will enjoy reading this choice bit of the Leach family history as written by one of them.

AdratUemtui a E. f r - , . iTom wnere i sir m,,.u My last column was about Whitey Fisher and Ids chioken farm and now Whltey has made iifws again. Whitey entertained some folks from the city last week end and they toured his mod ern barn. The visitors asked all sorts of questions. The best was: "How do you tell if the two-day-old chicks are hens or roosters?" "Easy," answered Whitey. "Just take the chicks one at a time. Place some corn meal in front of it. If she eats it, she's a hen. If he eats it, he's a rooster." Cno Man's Hen is Another Man's Rooster From where I sit, some an swers that sound like they make sense turn out to be the silliest of all. For Instance, a friend recently objected to my choice of glass of beer with supper. When I asked him why, he replied: 'Tve had only oof. fee with my dinner for the last twenty years." Now that's not only Millr It's Intolerant too.
