fairy folk? Hans Christian Andersen
was born on August 4th, 1i5 years
ago. He has produced the Fairy Tales
that delight so many grown-ups and
children. alike.
His father was a poor cobbler who
had to struggle TO provide food for his
family. Little Hans was left much TO
himself and the Fairy Tales wove
themselves about his youthful imagina-
ton as he sought TO amuse himself.
At night. when work was done the
father and son would get together, and
Hans would stretch his lanky body
upon the rough floor. while he listened
to the adventures Of life and living
which his father would read aloud 70

tive lad. and when he first went 10
school his mother had 10 make a spe-
cial arrangement with the head-master
that the boy should never be punished
one day. however, the teacher forgot
and gave Hans a slight rap on the
hands with his rod. Up jumped the
boy. reached for his book and slate
and home he ran, never to return e
that school again. But his parents
were anxious 10 give their boy an

Mr.. West started out on his great
scheme of making Mr.. Hoover Ore
CONS democratic candidate for the
presidency with full notice that he
was and is not democrat. He had
an idea that the way to make him a
democrat was to call him one. Evi-

yields as gracefully as the circum-
stances will permit--as readily as
that other surprised citizen who pick
ed up the hot end of poker.
The gentlemen Of the University
club who are promoting the campaign
of Mr.. Hoover for the republican
nomination are little more astute
They are asking no questions but are
going ahead. 1t appears likely that
if they solicited Mr.. Hoover's appro-
val for their action they would get the

This paper is in receipt of tele-
gram from Mr.. 0. c. Letter, of Port
land, who has been elected secretary
Of the Hoover Republican Club of
Oregon. Mr.. Letter is forming state
wide executive committee, and states
that he would be pleased to have us
furnish him with the names of the
most prominent republican man and
woman in Heppner who might ac-
cept appointment on this committee.
We are at loss to give Mr.. Letter
this Information. Have heard no
prominent republican, either man or
woman, doing any boosting for Her
bert; his boosters here are in the
other camp, and had he asked us for
the names Of the most prominent
democrats in Heppner who are talk
ing the most for Hoover, we could
have replied with alicrity. As mat
ter of fact, there is mighty little talk
among republicans concerning any
candidate, presidential or otherwise.
