UNCLE SAM WILL MEET WITH
KEEN OPPOSITION IN ALL
SPORTS FROM FOREIGN ATH-
LETES

New oYrk, Jan 16-That the mark
ed progress made in all forms of sport
since the revival of the Olympic games
in 1896, and mainly brought about
through the efforts of Baran De Couber-
tin, the Frenchman, who, in 1894, or
ganized the International Olympic
committee, promises to greatly aid IN
bringing about universal peace among
the nations of the world is becoming
more marked each year
This is evidenced by the wonder
hui strides of the continental ma
tons, most of which are in various
sports outstripping England, whose
citizens were, up to a generation or
so ago, the leaders in most of the
games taken up by white men.
Z. s. Dimmed Stars.
1t was England and her athletics
allies, ireland and Scotland, which
produced the type of men, whose
feats. of strength, agility and speed
were the prototypes of those champ
ions of the old games in Greece, but
It remained for the United States
TO dim the stars of England, with
the result that since 1895, when Eng
lands champions were totally eclipsed
in The historical athletic series at
Manhattan Field, John Bulls stand
ing in the world of competitive sport
has been none too firm.
From that time, when Young
America took up truck and field
games, the cry of Westward the
of athletic empire takes its
way" has been the slogan, to the
end that the United States stands
pre-imeninent in many fields or sport.
The competitive fever spread across
tle whole of Yankee land and now
rearly all the sections Of the country
contribute champions at one sport
or another, all anxious and willing,
wter the time arises, to take up
the cudgels of competition in be-
half of Uncle Sam and with the view
of aiding in the sustaining of his
PCS ton at the top of the list among
the rations of the world.
Keen Opposition.
Tie position of worlds leader in
sports achieved by the United States
and held through a series of COM
petitions of track and field battles,
n which gradually increasing num-
her Of armies take part with the
fod.ng of each Olympic series, meets
with keener opposition with the

DRY" SPEAK.
Err LECTURES HERE
Dynamite Adams Lectures in Hepp-
ner at Christian Church.

Three highly entertaining and in
structive lectures on "Oregon Dry in
1914" were delivered at the Chris
tian church on Saturday evening and
Sunday afternoon and evening by j.
G. Adams, of Portland, and recently
from Fort Worth, Texas. Mr.. Ad-
ans is touring the state and speak
ing in the interests of the Anti-Sa-
loon League of Oregon in their fight
to put Oregon in the dry column, and
he Is sure some dynamite. He is a
speaker of nation wide repute and
has been in the prohibition work for
the last twenty-five years. His ad-
dresses are full of sound argument,
and there is nothing dry about his
lectures from beginning to end,
though he is talking "dry" the most
Of the time. The lectures are full
to the brim Of wit and humor; he Of
ten says many severe things, but his
abuse Is not directed at individuals,
and in dealing with the liquor bus
mess he never offers a compromise.
Mr.. Adams is firmly of the opinion
that Oregon will go dry this year.

FARMERS, TAKE NOTICE

Saturday will be the big day of
the Fair-they will all be big days
but Saturday will be bigger than the
others. More people will be here for
the events of Saturday. For that
reason, If not others, the three
warehouses of Heppner, The Hepp-
ner Milling Co. warehouse, the
Heppner warehouse and the Farm
ers' Union warehouse will not open
for business on that day. Grain
haulers who do not contemplate WIS.,
iting in Heppner during the Fair
will do we'll to take their vacation at
home rather than haul on that day
because the warehouse authorities
say positively they will not open for
any business on Saturday, the last
day of the Fair.

SEVENTY FIVE PENDLET0N|ANs
ARE COMING TO THE FAIR
SPECIAL TRAIN FROM THE UMATILLA COUNTY CAP
1TAL WILL BRING DELEGATION OF BOOSTERS
WILL REMAIN IN OUR CITY ALL DAY FRIDAY

That Pendleton business men have
decided to visit Heppner one day dur
ing the fair Is a fact, and about rs
of the live wires of the Umatilla city
are coming over in a special car.
According to the East Oregonian
the plan contemplates leaving Pen
dleton on a special Pullman train at
10 O'Clock on the night of Thursday.
The entire day of Friday will be spent
in our city, the train returning that
night and reaching Pendleton early

Sixty men were in the party that
left for Spokane Monday night to
attend the Spokane fair, and. Judge
Phelps began canvass Tuesday

Heppner. BY noon on that day more
than half of the necessary number Of
names were secured.
The special train which will run
between lone and Heppner tomorrow

pie from the egg city and Lexington.
From what we have been able to
learn, the majority of the lone peo-
pie are planning to attend the fair on
Saturday, but quite a number will
be on hand for the three days. Last
year special days were given over as
Lexington Day" and lone Day" but
this year, we are informed, that ow-
ing to the increase in attractions over
last year, these special day features
have been set aside.
Secretary Smead requests all own
ers of autos to meet the Pendleton
train at the depot, il it is possible
for them to do so. There will be sew
eral people on the excursion who will
not care about walking the long dis
tance up town. Show the right spir-
1t and be on hand with your cars.

Every Farmer Should Attend Fair.

by y. Il. FreyCag.
Wherever it is possible, every far
mer should not only attend the Coun-
ty and State Fairs, but he should see
to it that others do so, and should
arrange to exhibit some of his pro-
ducts. In this way interest is stim-
ulated, the Fair Management en-
couraged and the community, your
neighbors, and the general public
gain knowledge; ideas are exchanged
daily labors may be lightened and
changes brought about which will
spur on to greater effort and better
preparation for success which will
surely follow.
Modern County and State Fairs
are not conducted now with the
thought of profit, save for the en-
deavor to meet expenses and to
maintain a healthy reserve for the
rainy week which is sure to come or
for some off year. Personal profit
to any man or set of men is lost
sight of and Fairs are conducted for
purely educational purposes and for
advertising the community. The dif-
fusion of knowledge of beneficial
nature is the aim of those who are
instrumental in arranging these fairs
and personal interests are sacrificed
for the good of the County or State.
The purpose of the Fairs is to
show the best products of every ma
ture, to provide harmless and inter-
esting attractions, to encourage
scientific farming and breeding and
every feature which is not elevating
has ben eliminated.
The benefits to the County or State
are manifold. William Mckinley in
his life time said, Fairs and EXposi-
tions are the timepieces which mark
the progress of nations

Likes Morrow County Best.

VIM. Stauffer, of Hood River, was
a pleasant caller at this office while
in town yesterday. He has been at
Lexington for the past week, looking
after his interests there, he being
still interested in one Of the best
wheat farms of our county. Mr..
Stauffer, after having spent number
of years in improving a ten acre
fruit farm in the Hood River valley
is now we'll founded in the belief
that Morrow county is hard to beat,
and man is much better off with
the same money invested in our
wheat lands; he will make more mon
ey and live just as easy.

PurpOse of Fairs

The State and County Fairs OF
today have advanced beyond the
aims and purposes of ten years ago
and no farmer can afford to Miss
attending one or both. He will be
able by observation at the Fairs to
gain information in few hours or
days, if he can find time for pro-
tracted stay, that would take months
to secure through any other med
ium. Fairs will teach him things
which other men have learned by ex-
perience.
Not only should the farmer at
tend the fair himself but lie should
endeavor to enthuse his neighbor
likewise and not stop at that, but
should arrange to make the best and
most comprehensive exhibit that he
can possibly secure from the pro-
ducts of his farm.
Interest in your County Fair stim-
ulats interest in agriculture in your
county; enables the public to gain
knowledge of the possibilities OF
your community; an xchange of ideas
is afforded and inspiration to greater
effort and better methods are instill-
ed. A broader view of his sphere
in life as a producer is obtained by
the farmer as he compares the re-
suits of his system of production
with that of successful exhibitors.
The educational feature of fairs
is not the only factor to be reckoned
with for it provides the whole fam
lily with a pleasant outing and much
needed recreation. Old friends are
met and new are made, and the fair
should send the whole family home
with the resolution to make the next
year count for more than any year
that has passed.

MRS. PHILLIPS PASSES
AWAY AT MORGAN
Last Victim of The Morgan Fire
Succumbs to Injuries.

Alice Mary Phillips was born in
Sheffield, England, April 25, 1857
and died at Morgan, Oregon, on Sep
tember 10th, 1914. Funeral SER
vices were conducted at the Morgan
cemetery on Saturday, the 18th, Rev
]. V. Crawford, of Heppner, officiat-
ing. These services were largely at
tended by the many neighbors and
friends Of Mrs. Phillips, thus show
ing the high esteem in which she
was held in the community, and also
expressing the sincere sympathy felt
by the neighbors for the remaining
members of the family.
Mrs. Phillips was the fourth victim
of the fire which recently occurred at
Morgan in which her two daughters
and a son perished. She suffered
severe burns and other injuries, from
which she seemed to be rapidly re-
covering, and her sudden death on
Thursday last came as a surprise to
her friends, and can only be account
ed for upon the grounds of her great
grief over the terrible death of the
other members of the family.
Mrs. Phillips was highly respect
ed in her community. She was a
member of the Episcopal church, and
always true to her convictions as q
Christian woman. The only remain
ing members of her family are the
husband, H. w. Phillips, and a
daughter, Mrs. Crawford.
