After spending over $25,000 on the property during the past ten years, with nothing to show in return, the state finds that it has on its hands a "white elephant," figuratively speaking, and it wishes to f get rid of it. This situation being publicly announced through the ways and means committee of the legislature, which has ordered immediate disposal of the land, the grange of Douglas county has come forward with a proposal to have the place deeded back to the county and that ths county in turn restore the premises to its original status of a fair ground. The proposal is both wise and timely. The J county needs a suitable place for rural fairs and it is doubt ful if a better place for the purpose could be found than this t 55-acre tract that has become a heavy liability to the state. . The land products and manufacturers' shows held in Roso burg annually for several years, creditable as they were, did not fully answer the purpose involved because of limited space. There was no room for livestock, factory products on a large scale or sizeable concessions. Without such ad juncts a county fair lacks completeness. If the old-time county fairs are worth resuming at all, they should in their . detailed character be representative of all the industries of the county. Only generous acreage will allow for sucli things as well as for camping and certain attractions ndapl ed only to roomy outdoor space. It win be readily recognized that the grange is more deeply interested in a county fair than any other clement of our population. Its wishes in such a matter should be dominant. In this instance the grange has taken the initiative in a movement that will un doubtedly meet with county-wide endorsement and be fol lowed up by successful exhibitions if the plan is carried to fruition. The appended plan to use a portion of the premises for a pheasant aviary should also receive favorable consid eration. No better argument in favor of the idea could be ; advanced than reference to the fct that pheasants at large in this county thrive perfectly and multiply so rapidly as to contribute materially to the county's high reputation as : a wild game paradise. OLD RED SCHOOL HOUSE PASSES The old one-room country school house, a feature of American life for many years, is disappearing, and there will be few to mourn its passing. A report from the bureau of education of the department of the interior shews that con solidated rural schools have been replacing one-teacher rchools in the United States at a rapid rate during the past decade. In 1920 the 48 states had 1M9.000 one-room schools; in 1926 this number had shrunk to 161,000, and it is still go ing down. Advantages of education of the consolidated school are numerous, both from the standpoint of education and general health and comfort. The modern school bu i, which can bring children from widely separated farms to the .j'ocr of a distant school house in less time than it took their fathers to walk a mile, is a big factor in the change. The one-room school served the country well in its day; but the consolidated school can do the job better, and the sooner the replacement is complete, the better for all concerned. t -AS WORLD WAGS -' BY C.

"She will attempt to foster the demand through explana tory lectures which she will gi-e in cities in different parts of the country, illustrating them with picttires of the vineyard, or chard and melon regions of Argentina. "A point will be made, it is said. that, the reasons bein; reversed, the cargoes of Argentine fruit will reach the ports cf New o;k jut about the time that summer fruits and vege tables are out of season."
