The next annual show of the Morrow County Poultry Associa tion will be held at Heppner Jan uary 7th, 8th, and 9th, 1914, and gives promise of being a splendid event. Last year was the first attempt of the Association to give a show and it was pronounced a com Dlete success by every one. The business of the show was al wound up; the bills and premi ums all paid, and the treasurer reports a balance of funds on hand of $37 to be applied to the expenses of the coming show. For the coming show the Asso ciation will oner six silver cups as special prizes and some of the business men of Heppner are also offering cups and there is to be a large number of specia prizes of different kinds, all o which are now being listed up and will be announced later in the paper and in the premium book. B. F. Keeney, of Eugene, 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 erood attendance this year of poultry fanciers from outside points who will be making the circuit. Besides this, our loca! growers have been getting ready for the event and there . should be a 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 well 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. The ladies of the M. E. church south will hold an apron and candv sale on Dec. 20.

Warren, for many years a farmer in the Eight Mile sec tion, has taken a three year lease on the Bill Hendrix farm on Heppner flat and moved onto the place with his family. Minor & Co. had a bunch of fellows at work Friday and Sat urday picking turkeys and pre paring them for the Portland market They shipped out 128 turkeys, properly prepared, on Monday. J. L Howard, old-time Morrow county resident, was in Heppner the fore part of the week looking after business anairs. Mr. How ard is still interested in Eastern Oregon, tho he has not resided here for a number of years, and he is not sure that he may have to move back here to live. The turkey market has been well supplied at Heppner for Thanksgiving. Many more peo ple' are engaged in this business about Heppner than in former years, and nearly every farmer brought in a supply to be taken care of by the local dealers. What was not needed here was shipped to the Portland market. The pre vailing price was 16 cents, live weight, while the purchaser of the Thanksgiving turkey was asked 22 cent3 for the dressed bird. i OBITUARY. Thomas Jefferson Carle was born at Fayette, Ohio, Feb. 13, 1840. He was one of a family of thirteen children, being a third child. Mr. Carle served in the United States army from 18G2 to 1865 under General U. S. Grant. After leaving the army he was married in the same year to Susana Griffith at Fayette, Ohio. To them were bom seven child ren of which three are now liv ing. They are, A. C. Carle of Shears, Oregon: Mrs. Vicia Sperry, lone Oregon and Mrs. Nora Holland of Twist, Wash. Mr. Carle moved to Cass coun ty, Missouri in 1867, at which place he lived until the death of his wife in 1872. At this time he came west to Oregon and remain ed for about three years, after which he returned to Missouri and was married to Luvina Beach in 1880. After a short time he again returned to Oregon and resided at Weston until 1883 when he moved to lone where he resided up to the time of his death. He became a member of the Masonic Lodge at Heppner in 1890. Later he affiliaten with lone Lodge No. 120 of which he was an active member. Besides a wife, one son and two daughters Mr. Carle is also survived by one brother and one sister who reside at Raymone, Cass county, Mis souri. "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 a 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. I 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. It 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 I 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 bluster and then when they run up against someone who knows more about the game than they do, tney nave 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? Arthur R. Crawford. Vaughn & Sons, hardware deal ers, have made a specialty of handling the DeLaval cream sep arator, and during the past year have supplied many of our farm ers and ranchers with this excel lent piece of machinery. W. O, Bayless carried one out Saturday and will henceforth handle the milk production of his farm in the proper manner. John Piper, prosperous farmer of the Lexington section, was do ing business in Heppner Monday. Mr. Piper is feeling good over the crop prospects. He has al ways been a successful farmer and made money, even through some of the poorest years we have had; has always had lots of faith in Morrow county and thinks more of our country than ever at the present. There is room for many another farmer of Mr. Pi per's class. $100 Reward.

PATENT ADVERTISING L Advertising, like all other lines of business, is subject to graft. The graft may not be so apparent as in other things, but it is there just the same, and no one suffers more from the evil effects of its misrepresentations than the coun try merchant.. The CapflP-T mpc, iq not mm. plaining about the use of patent advertising so far as the space used in the paper is concerned, but there are several reasons for urging the advertiser to study the matter to the mutual benefit of his business and the news paper. Ihe advertising columns of the paper are as much a part of the news service as the local and edl torial columns. A large per cent of the readers will start in. on the ads first (especially is this true with the ladies, for much of their shopping is directed through the medium of newspaper advertis ing nnH tVif mprebnnr eVinnlH make it a point to have something of interest each week, something new and attractive that the read er may not lose interest in his space. If the editor should form the habit of letting news matter run week in and week out with out change, or, on the other hand, should he use nothing bt "boiler plate, (patentnews so tospeak) how long do you think the people would continue to read his paper r As With the editor, so it is With the advertiser, ihe people want tO know what IS going On in the business world and their most profitable source of information is through the advertising col- umns OI the local paper. But they want that news in the form of a personal note from the mer- chant himself. What some ad writer back in Chicago or else where has to say regarding the local business house can not deal with local conditions any more than some reporter in Portland could furnish, the Morrow county news eace week to the Gazette- Times. Personal appeal is very essential in advertising. But it IS One essential which IS Seriously lacking in the patent ad. inow comes tne direct argu ment against the use of the pat ent ad. It has been shown that that class of advertising is unin teresting to the reader and there- I . j . t t i ii ipre unprontaDie to tne user.

K cf t a concern which has no interest in Heppner, never spends a red cent with the local dealer or in the town, and is by no means es sential to the newspaper world. The merchant will be better paid ten times over to drop the patent stutt and devote the money ex- penoeo ior nis copy to the pur chase of additional advertis ing space in the lpcal paper and do some of the kind of advertising that pays. The local paper will appreciate it and strive to build up a bigger circulation and otherwise assist to make the advertising a profitable invest ment. The merchant himself will take a keener interest in his business if he is using his own brains in formulating his weekly message to his customers. He will soon arouse to the fact that he has something to sell and will take pleasure in describing arti cles, quoting attractive prices, and otherwise inviting the pat ronage of his readers. The mer chant can not command the in terest of the buying public until he displays the right kind of in terest in the business himself. If he would have the people of nis community arop the mail or der hobby he must put himself in the proper light. If he is using catalog" ads he can t complain if his customers use catalog" goods. He must drop the kind of ads that sav "our goods are always the best," and get right in with the proof posi tive.

The school is now expecting a visit from Supt. Notson. His visits are eagerly looked forward to by the whole school as events in the school life. Miss Hill's pupils are learning the art of singing. They try as hard to make music in the air as the larger ones do and needless to say succeed far better. The library Is gradually assuming an aspect of being taken care of.
