SIXTH ANNUAL FAIR
OPENS SEPT. .I2[H
Saturday to be Morrow County Pa.
triotic Day. Exhibits Now
Being Installed.

! There has not been any great
spread of banners this year con-
cerning the Sixth Annual Morrow
County Fair but just the same
preparations for good fair and
good time have been going on, and
Secretary Smead expects to open the
| FAR to the public On Thursday next
with everything in proper shape.
1t has been fully realized all the
while, especially since the big fire at
Heppner, that it would not be an
easy task to give the Fair in as
successful a manner this year as
ether seasons, yet it could not be
allowed to go over and the manage
ment have buckled into the job and
are now able to announce to the
Morrow county public that they can
expect as good time as usual.
There will be none of the side
issues that have heretofore occupied
the attention Of he crowd, but good,
clean entertainment has been pro-
vlded. One of the chief features is
Campbell's American Band of Port
land, musical organization that has
state wide reputation. Secretary
Smead was able to get Mr.. Campbell
and his band for the Morrow County
Fair because of the fact of his ex-
ceptional persuasive ability. This
band has been playing for the State
Fair, the Astoria Regatta and num-
erous county fairs in different parts
OF the state, and was a chief attrac-
tion at the Rose Festival in Portland
last year. This band under the
direction of Percy A. Campbell will
furnish an abundance of good music
during the three days of the fair.
Accompanying the band, also, will
be Mrs. Jane Burns Albert, soprano
soloist. Mrs. Albert will appear on
the numerous programs given by
the band and will add greatly to the
attractiveness of this part of the en-
tertainment.
On Friday afternoon there WIN be
an oration by Walter M. Pierce,
democratic candidate for Governor
of Oregon. Mr.. Pierce promises to
adjourn politics" for this occasion
and he will have an address that
should be heard by all Mr.. Pierce
has the distinction of being one of
the best speakers of this part of the
state.
Saturday is to be Morrow County
Patriotic Day. The program on this
day will be under the direction of the
County Council of Defense and the
full announcements will appear
little later. One feature, however,
is to be a flag raising by the Morrow
County Home Guard.
Prepare to lay aside your work on
the days of the Fair next week and
come to town and put in a few days
of pleasure .and relaxation. You
will be cared FOR, so come and assist
in making the Fair a success.
Red Cross Pledges Should Be Paid.
Our attention is called to the fact
that many of the pledges made in
the last Red Cross drive remain yet
unpaid. 1t will not be so very long
before another drive of this nature
is on and right now we are facing
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive.
These pledges should be promptly
met and the slate made clean before
other obligations are taken on. Will
you not, therefore, hand in your
pledge at once to Phil Cohn, treas
urer of the war drive funds and get
your receipt for same. The Heppner
Chapter is being called on to see
that these funds are all in right
away by the officers from headquar-
ters This applies also to any
pledges that may remain unpaid
