ALL ON THE MAP Brother Thomas, of the Lexington Wheatfield, calls the attention of the Heppner Gazette to the fact that the County Court of Morrow recently ap propriated $250 for the purpose of pay ing one-half of the expense of issuing a booklet about Morrow County, the Heppner, Commercial , club to pay an equal amount, and . Thomss says the book could be printed for $250, and that it practically only treats of Hepp ner. We do not know anything about the facts of the case other than what the Wheatfield says' but on general prin ciples we do not believe the county judge would sanction the expenditure of a cent of county funds for the pur pose of advertising the county unless it was at least nine-tenths for' his own town. Judge Ayers is not built that way. He scarcely knows there are such places as lone, Lexington, Irrigon and Castle Rock, except about election times. But he will, thank the -Lord, find out that we are on the map, and have voters,' when another election rolls around. ! .. Morrow is a good county, has some good towns, and lots of good, wide awake people, and we ought to pull to gether, and as a rule do. The papers 'of the. county are not hide-bound! They all work for the county as a "whole. The two Heppner papers and those of lone, Lexington aud Irrigon gives lots of space each weak to the county as a whole, and we are all proud of anything that helps the county no matter whether it is in our town or some other part of the community. The trouble is not with the news papers. It is with a few old mossbacks who ought to have been dead twenty years, ago ."but who. still linger on the stage of action to gather more .moss for themselves and to hold the balance 'of the county back. Irrigon, Irrigator. Prosperity is here, but1 many a poor man is forgotten and won't have turkey on Thanksgiving, unless he goes to meet the good , times by "doing" some thing. Santa Claus will ,be interested to learn that the company recently or ganized to manufacture tablets of con densed wines and whisky promises to have its product- on the' market by Christmas.

We feed her cracklings; meat and grain, ground oyster shells and such, but still she hangs onto her eggs with a puissant clutch. Why is it when eggs are chea p the hens work overtime, but choose to take a rest j ist when the prices climb? Why is r it things we want the worse are always scarce and high? When we are need ing water most why do the wells go dry? Why is it gold and precious stones are always hard to find? . In granting life's precious gifts why are the fates unkind? inoi 8 HARVEST SUPPLIES o We have a large stock of everything needed for the harvest and can supply your wants promptly.
