PLANS FOH
The so-called model farm east of Roscburg ha proved
an egregious and costly fizzle. 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.

A STEP TOWARD FRIENDSHIP
"Mrs. Zimmelman de Tashof. recently appointed Fruit
Commissioner of Argentina, is scheduled to arrive in the United
States at un early date to undertake the work, of establishing a
demand for Argentine fruits in this country.
"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." A news note.
We hail this lady from the South
Persuasive words within her mouth
To tell us all about her land.
Its many fruits, delicious, grrmd.
She quick returns our Hoovei's call
And rolls along the friendship ball.
I think they must have liked him there
She comes so quick with trading prayer.
Her visit is a happy thought
I'm sure our fancy will be caught;
She'll throw her pictures on the screen.
Display the fruits of Argentine;
She will not with our own compete.
Hut rm.ke our round of fruits complete.
I hope she'll so cement the bond
"Ilia! Argentine and we'll grow fond.
True friendship's born of mutual good,
INtti "neighbor into neighborhood:
And love is born cf kindly deeds
As wr supply each others needs.
If we may e;.t their juicy foods,
-.xchani;e in turn our Northern goods.
We soon shall trrl like family kie.
And worthy friends we both shall win.
We must not lose a single chance
To cultivate each new romance
Vhwh binds our hemisphere in one '
And marks a new bright friendship won.
For every nation made a friend
Will help the wound of earth to mend.
Will hasten on the firml peace
