Bricklaying,. .Plastering MY WORK IS THE BEST RECOMMENDA TIOS ST. HELENS. OREGON T I 10 THE BOYS AND GIRLS 1 hope you are all having a Rood time during vacation, playing some, working some, and reading some; and not forgetting to prepare your exhibits for the school fairs. Had you thought about how soon they will be here? Only a few short weeks now and the time will pans quickly. Procrastination is said to be the thief of time. De not let it be the thief of those, prizes you have no doubt had your heart set on winning. It is so easy to waste time and get slack in our habits. especially during vacaMon. Every one ought really to set apart cer tain hour each day for play, for work and for reading. You will be surprised how much more you will accomplish. If you are raising garden stuff to exhibit, do not neglect it. The weeds will keep growing these hot days just the same, and if you do not keep them hoed or pulled up thev will rob your pumpkins or potatoes of the moisture they need, and they will not grow to be prize winners. If you are raising poul try, do not fail to feed the fowls regularly and well, and handle them carefully so they will be gentle and in good condition. If you expect to exhibit sewing and win that sewing machine, gold watch, or some other attractive Drize. you have no time to lose. If you would win in the bread making contest you cannot practice too much. Do not be afraid of soiling vour hands with the dough. It is no disgrace to work, and horny hands are honorable. Do not overlook the fact that the railroads will carry your exhibit to and from the State Fair free of charge. The children of no other state are so generously treated by the railroads, so far as we know. Do not fail to read the ruW-s and regulations in the State Fair Prize List which tells you what you have ; to do in order to wet the free rate. Some boy or girl who reads this way say "I have to work hard all j the time and never have a vacation, and do not have time toprepae' anything for the fair." I hope very few of you aie entirely de prived of a vacation, but as to hav ing to work hard, you really ought to be thankful for that. Hard work does not hurt you if you do not chafe and worry about it. Our lest and greatest people have had to work hard. Surmounting diffi culties brings out the best that is in you and develops strength of character. The best exhibits at the school fairs last year were generally made by children who had to work hard. Loafers do not win prizes at fairs nor in the battles of life. Perhaps you are not yet ac quainted with Mr. Churchill, our new State Superintendent, but you will have an opportunity to meet him home day, I hope. I am sure you will like him; he says he is very much interested in the boys ami girls of Oregon, and especially in seeing them learn the practical things of life. He is anxious to see definite results from the In dustrial Department. It is up to you to show such results, boys and girls, and I am sure you will do your part. Very truly yours. N. C. Maris.
