E. L. Padberg returned Saturday
from Portland, slightly Improved in
health.
Luck means rising not later than
six o'clock In the morning, living on a
dollar a day if you earn two, minding
your own business, and not meddling
with other people's. Luck means the
appointment you have never failed to
keep, the train you have never failed
to catch. Luck means, trusting in
God and your own resources.

Reports from all over Morrow coun
ty are to the effect that the wheat
crop Is making a wonderful growth
since the rains have fallen. Wheat
that was badly burned from the dry
weather Is taking on new life and will
now make a fairly good crop. ' In the
Eight Mile country there Is every Indi
cation of a heavy yield,, some of the
fields giving promise of 30 bushels to
the acre. Grass is also making a vig
orous growth and there will be plenty
of feed for stock.
Heppner Times
Mose Ashbaugh was In town yester
day, and stated to the Times that the
Eight Mile wheat crop is coming out
very rapidly.
A big grain crop Is assured in Mor
row county even if we get no more
rain. The ground is thoroughly soak
ed, and it is believed that the yield will
be more than an average crop.

There is no way of mixing honesty
with dishonesty, fairness with unfair
ness, or truth with falsehood.
Tact is that wonderful quality that
renders Its possessor stone deaf . or
blind in an uncomfortable situation.
Sarah Bernhardt says man's attire
is ridiculous It may be so, but the
lady must admit that she can't see
through it.
Cultivate a becoming dignity but do
not forget the great army of others
who may be equal, If not superior to
yourself.
The New York World gravely asks
Are pretty teachers best?" Homely
old ladies will consider such a question
ridiculous.
Lives of laboring men remind us, .,

If the public does not find us
Out and start us doing time.
