Our attendance for the past month

all may be able to attend regularly.
Several of the best magazines have

Ignorance Is Bliss;
'TiS Folly to be Wise.

Ignorance is bliss" is an old
saying, trite but true, and is just
as true now as it was few years
ago, before basket ball came into
such prominence as a game OF
amusement as well as a form for
physical development.
Men are ever prone to engage
the fond gaze of the public eye.
AS has been said, There are
men who are born great, some
achieve greatness, while still
others have greatness thrust up
on them" might add to this
that there are still others who
assume greatness in the natural
course Of events; the only logical
men who can fill any position
where there appears a vacancy.
These men do not attain know
ledge. 1t is taken for granted
that they already have it. They
have to pass no examination, no
questions are asked these public
benefactors who are ever ready
to step into the public limelight.
We have such men as l am
mentioning, right here in Morrow
county. Yet these men have ad-
ditional peculiarities. They have
that failing Of not being able to
get away with it. They go in
to the fray with a blow and a
buster and then when they run
up against someone who knows
more about the game than they
do, they have to stop and gasp
now what's the gag" After
all they come to the conclusion
that ''tis folly to be wise" For
they have realized that every time
they have opened their mouths
they have displayed their ignor-
ance to just that much greater
extent. Do you get me Steve?

DATE FOR ANNUAL
CHICKEN SHOW SET
Morrow County Poultry
Association Making Pre-
parationS For Big An
nuaI Event in Heppner.

The next annual show of the
Morrow County Poultry Associa-
ton will be held at Heppner Jan
uary 7th, 9th, and 9th, 1914. and
gives promise of being a splendid
event.
Last year was the first attempt
of the Association to give show
and it was pronounced a com
plete success by every one. The
business of the show was all
wound up; the bills and premi-
ums all paid, and the treasurer
reports balance of funds on
hand of $37 to be applied to the
expenses of the coming show.
For the coming show the Asso-
cation will offer SIX silver cups
as special prizes and some of the
business men of Heppner are
also offering cups and there is to
be large number of special
prizes of different kinds, all Of
which are now being listed up
and will be announced later in
the paper and in the premium
book.
B. F. Keeney, of Eugene, a
registered judge of the American
Poultry Association, will judge
this show. Our show will be
ahead of the Walla Walla and
Pendleton shows and we can rea-
sonably expect that there will be
a good attendance this year of
poultry fanciers from outside
points who will be making the
circuit. Besides this, our local
growers have been getting ready
for the event and there should
be much larger exhibit than
last year.
The premium books are being
prepared and will soon be off the
press and ready for mailing.
The officers of the Association
are getting busy with the pre-
liminaries and soon will have the
show we'll in hand, with all de-
tails worked out and nothing to
hinder its progress and ultimate
success.
From now on let us boost the
chicken show.

HEPPNER STREETS
TOBE MACADAMIZED
1914 Plans of City Fathers
includes Purchasing of
CruSher and OilSprinkIer.

The 1914 program as mapped out by
our city fathers, will include much
street Improvement. According ia
reports that come from the proper
source, the city will buy a rock
crusher and an oil sprinkler. The
big improvements of the ysar will be
the strengthening out of Main street
which will mean the blasting out of
the rock bluff which ohstIucts the
street at the sonth end. The rock
from this bluff will be orus ed by the
new crusher and put on Main street
and several cross streets and the final
result will be good mscadamizsd
streets for Heppner.
These improvements are to be car
ried out without tax levy, as the
funds row on hand and what will be
received during the year from licenses
will be all that is required to meet
running expenses for the year, as we'll
as make these substantial and much
needed improvements.
