He was idle as a boy, he was shiftless
- q youth.
He was slovenly In dress, and his
manners YER uncouth.
The neighbors looked their scorn when
they saw him passing by,
His father used to scold, and his
mother used to sigh,
Hut he volunteered the day he was
old enough to vote.
And they hardly knew the fellow i'll

For no braced his lazy shoulders with
a military air.
His aimless face grew firmer. Said
the neighbors. Il declared"
His father took his hand, his mother
beamed her pride,

foolish maiden cried.
Full fifty folks forgot their sneers. full
fifty roughly smote
With friendly slap the back that bore
! his army o%vercoat.
He sent his parents letters they were
long in making out.
He was faithful as a sentry: in the
fight his heart was stout.
The day he saved the captains life,
that day he lost his own
and spoke some manly parting words
and died without Il groan.
The captain closed his eyelids with a
choking in the throat
And sent him to his mother in his
army overcoat.
The meeting house was crowded full
upon his burial day.
And scores and scores passed down the
aisle to see him as he lay.
n foolish maiden noticed on his
hand a ring of bone,
The union shield cut on it, and wish
1t were her own.
And after prayer and hymn and
speech and wartime %anecdote,
The earth received the soldier and his

Now when Memorial day round

And here his worn old father and his

kann carefully told of the composition
of each metal and gave II careful de-
scription of the manner in which it is
treated for decorative purposes.
Italy is the home of the bronze
art" said Mrs. Kann. }Ihe Greeks
tircly in bronze. Bronze statutes lit
orally filled the cities of the Roman
empire at one time but the value of
the metal and the ease with which it
was broken up and cast into coins has
caused those ancient works to disap-
pear almost entirely. During the past
century there has been q revival in
bronze casting. although there are
now but W. or three foundrics in this
country. Mrs. kann stated that the
most American art today. the work
that not only has. achieved the great
est results, but has in it the most
promise for the future is in bronze.
Mrs. Kann gave a fine description of
the Bacchante MacMonnies, master-
piece. Another American s%culpturcr
in bronze who is achieving success is
Mahonri Young, grandson Of the not
ed Bringham Young.
n OF the interesting points which
Mrs. Kann brought out in her discus
sion of pewter was the use which
Americans made of it during the revo-
lutionary war. Hundreds of pounds
Of it We're melted for bullets. In
those days travelling pewtcrers went
from house to house recasiing pewter
vessels and thus a great. deal of vail
liable pewter was destroyed.
Mrs. kann displayed a number of
examples of both bronze and pewter,
some of them ancient and very valu-
able. She recalled many interesting
facts in connection with pewter which
she herself remembered as a little girl
or which her mother had told her.

When Sammy Jay isn't planning

affairs Of other folks with which he
has no concern, or trying to brighten
someone bigger than himself. or scare
someone smaller than himself, he
spends a great deal OF his time admir-
ing his fine clothes and thinking what
a handsome fellow he is. And he is
handsome fellow. even C:hatterer

reling with him, admits that Sammy
Jay is a handsome fellow. He carries
himself proudly when he thinks any
one is looking. His shape is very trim
and neat and he is q Very smart look

part Of SO eminent an authority, that

1t puts these evidences of olden skill
by modern craftsmanship To show tho
superiority of the present.
In this it would only be adopting
the idea of Bliss Perry, who believes
that the skill of the ~present-day short
story has gone so far that it cannot he

Morrow Countys First Annual Fair. Irrigon's Offering

of Directors, live wires, for max
ing our first fair compare favor
ably with any held in Oregon
this year.
The Fair in every way so far
exceeded expectations that it is
a matter of qualification to every
body in Morrow county.
| wish also to congratulate
Mayor Van Vactor and the mem
bers of the city council for their
material assistance in cleaning
up the streets, and turning all
money collected for concessions
over to the Fair Board. This
was commendable and should be
appreciated by all.
| also want to congratulate the
entertainment committee for fur
nishing the best entertainment
we have ever had in the seven
years which have lived in Nor
row county. The band never
quit playing as long as it was
necessary to furnish music, and
at no time was there any kicking
about this bunch of competent
musicians. They are not only
musicians, but all are gentlemen
as well. | believe it would be a
good plan to engage these men to
furnish the music for our fair
next year.
From a financial point of view
the Fair was a success. The to-
tai amount received is as follows:
Business men, $1272. so; gate re-
ceipts and other sources, $1267.-
SO; Morrow county, $3.50; State,
S67O. .66; City Of Heppner, $500;
entry fees and other sources,
$242. 85; making a grand total of
$4, 1851.
What man is not proud of this
community when he reads these
figures?
It should be the pride and am
bltion of every citizen of Morrow
county to make the next annual
fair bigger and better than the
one just closed. 1t can be done
if everybody will begin to BOOST
for the Morrow Comfy Fair of
1914.

Among the many pleasing fea-
lures of the fair was the band
music. The fair management
went to no little expense in Sc
curing a good band and it was
well worth the money. Parsoh' s
band is made up of good musi-
clans, every man an expert on
his particular instrument, and
they were not stingy with their
music. Their concerts at the pa
vilion were especially good and
at no time was there any kick
coming because they did not play
enough. They gave complete
satisfaction.

The First Annual Morrow Coun-
ty. Fair was the means of bring
ing about a needy organization
that of organizing in a body the
Morrow County Pioneers. Many
of the pioneers who were among
the first to settle in Morrow coun-
ty have moved away to other To-
calities, but they remain pioneers
of the county. What they have
done for the future of the county
cannot be over estimated. They
suffered hardships from which
the present generation would
finch. They have stayed by the
country through drouth and fail
ure. They have had the faith
and courage to try again and f.
nally succeededin building homes
in a country that would stand for
future generations. Would it
not be better to erect "a monu-
ment to their noble deeds now,
rather than wait until they have
passed to the great beyond?
What can be more noble way
of paying tribute than that of or
ganizing a Morrow County Pio-
neers' Association which will
contain the names for future gen
erations of those courageous men
and women who have lived and
died in making this county what
it is and what it will be.

ADDRESS
ENJOYABLE FEATURE

One of the very best features
of the Morrow County Fair was
Pioneers day. There were pres
ent a large number of Morrow
county citizens who came here
prior to 1890, as we'll as many old
Oregonians who were not eligible
to membership in the Morrow
County Pioneers Association.
The exercises of the occasion
were largely impromptu on &C.
count of the want of time to
make suitable preparation. About
the only thing especially provided
for this order of the day was the
address by Judge Stephen A.
Lowell, of Pendleton. Of course,
every one who had ever heard
Judge Lowell was prepared to
hear something worth while, and
they were not disappointed. In
a forty-fve minute address, re-
plete with anecdote, historical
facts, argument and appeal, the
speaker held the vast concourse
of interested, thinking people
spellbound. He recited many of
the trials and vicissitudes through
which the pioneers Of this coun-
try were called to pass, paid a
glowing tribute to their foresight
and heroism, and made a strong
appeal to the young men and
Young women of today to emulate
the example of the early settlers
by being themselves pioneers of
the oncoming generations to a
higher plane of civilization and
citizenship through improved me-
thods of farming, better systems
of education, and loyalty to the
highest moral standards.
The speech throughout was
well conceived and delivered in
the Judges happiest vein. 1t is
not too much to say that he fully |
his reputation as one of |
the foremost platform orators of |
the state of Oregon.
The exercises were interspersed |
with the singing Of patriotic
songs and inspiring band music.
Following the exercises pre-
iminary steps were taken to or
ganize the Morrow County Pio-
leers' Association. j. j. Adkins
acted as temporary chairman, j.
1. Yeager as secretary. After
lue consultation it was thought
)est to appoint a committee to
submit to a future meeting a per-
nanent board of officers for the

ourned to meet in this city Oc-

1t was SOME fair.
Have you registered yet?

An interested and enthusiastic
visitor at the fair was Mr.. Chas.
Roberts of Lexington. Mr.. Rob-
erts is a new man in Morrow
county, having arrived here late
in May. His interest in the fair,
however, was genuine. He has
a fine driving animal which he
brought up early last Thursday
to enter in the stock exhibit, ex-
pecting to take in the fair that
day and return home. About the
time he had concluded to take the
homeward trail he was confronted
by President Leach, who was in
search of a good man to act as
gatekeeper at the main entrance.
Mr.. Roberts was induced to take
the Job and he proved to be the
man for the place.

Walter Richardson, newly ap-
pointed postmaster at Heppner
under the Wilson administration,
to succeed w. w. Smead, took
up his official duties the first of
the month. Walt is one of
Morrow county's oldest pioneers
and is quite we'll known over this
section of the state. He came to
Heppner in 1872 and has been
here continually ever since. Mr..
Richardson is a man we'll quail
fed for the position to which he
has been appointed.

Morrow county was fortunate
in securing the services of Walter
E. Donnelly as manager for the
fair. Everything went off as
scheduled and the exhibits were
well handled and placed. Mr..
Donnelly went to Portland and
secured enough concessions to
pay for his own salary. He was
undoubtedly one of the big fac
tors in making the first annual
