''SOME LIARS | HAVE met"
-
DR.. GEO. H. GLOVER

My trlenuS, L am quite sure tnat
when the roll is called up there
up yonder-Brother Moore will be
there. l step up here on the plat
form because you know it is some
satisfaction to be able to look down
upon people.
The announcement was made:
Some Liars l Have Met" Now,
am not familiar with that kind of a
liar. Mr.. Lovett might have talked
with you upon the subject of Some
Liars | Have Met" Mr.. Vaplon
might have interested you upon
Some Liars l Have Met" but as
said | am not familiar with that
kind
Now the best thing about a man is
his wife-if he has one. If he
hasn't, he don't figure so strongly
in worldly affairs. l am going to
give you my ideas why man will
knowingly falsify and tell lies. The
definition of lie is: A statement
made-known to be false-and
made with the intention to deceive.
That is the dictionary definition of
lie. The lie is not new institu-
ton although l must admit that it
has become a great accomplishment.
The lie in it's first form began long
time ago when you were tap-pole
and l wasn't. 1t began in the Gard
en- of Eden, and there was a lie
pulled off. The Good Book says that
all men are liars-says nothing
about women. In my experience,
however when a woman does lie she
is far more clever at it than a man
And while it is always wise to talk
of liars generally, it is not always
advisable to make it specific
l have found there are fifty-seven
different varieties of liars l will
only have time to talk of few of
them. There are the abnominable
lies, the atrocious lies, premedtated
lies, unmitigated lies, black and
white lies and "fbs." Now, / start
the men in town who are the chief
liars in the community. / asked a
farmer, and he said the biggest liars
he knows of are the commission men
from Denver. l asked hotel man
who he considered the biggest liar,
and he said an insurance man; and
| asked the insurance man, and he
said the hotel man; and l asked a
gentleman from Denver, and he said
that the whole cake, batch and all
goes to Fred johnson of Denver.
And l asked Doctor Lamb, our State
Veterinary, and he said the only
difference between him and George
Washington was that Washington
couldn't tell lie, and he could but
wouldn't. l said the biggest lar
have met since coming to Monte
Vista is Brother Vaplon, and he told
me to talk about myself and | would
cover the whole subject.
With most of us there is fierce
warfare going on within ourselves
the heart against the head. Let us
remember that while all liars are not
caught, all are punished, and now
while there are different lies | will
classify them right. There are those
that lie from self-conceit. You all
know the fellow who is anxious to
impress superiority upon others up
on all occasions. He is the fellow
who has the long-winded stories
about himself-The Big | Am. He
is the one who always appears on the

PROGRESS IN INDUSTRY.

Probably of the most pleasant announcements that has
been made to Morrow county people for sometime is the one
this week relating to the leasing of the Heppnef Coal Mines
property by H. '. Gates
Mr. Gates, who is of the older captains of industry IN
the Northwest has spent considerable time and money test
ing out the coal fields in this region overlooking the prob
Ens of transportation Therefore is but reasonable to
se since the lease has been made that the Heppner Coal
Mines will now be fully developed.
With the opening of these mnes there likewise opens up
for Hepper might say unlimited possibilities Fuel near
iii hand ceapy transported to local yards may yet be the
solution of our fuel problem And above ALL be the pos
be means of bringing down the price to appeclabe eX
tent, so far as local consumers are concerned
At all events it will mean that thousands of dollars spent
each year to foreign fuel dealers by the Heppner Light Water
