THOUSANDS W I ORECOII'S CALL That thousands of persons living In Pennsylvania aud other states of the east are talking of moving to Canada, the northwest, to Oklahoma or some other newly opened parts of the coun try and that Oregon should get busy and make exhibits of her products and resources at some of the county fairs, are some of the suggestions offered by W. J. Collins, who writes the Portland Journal from Newcastle, Pa. The people which publicity would appeal to are Just the kind of citizens that Oregon needs to make It continue to grow and become one of the great est states In the union, Mr. Collins says. Mr. Collins suggests that a native born and educated In Oregon, should be selected to have charge of the ex hibit! which he would have Oregon make at the varloua fair during the summer and fall. The county fairs continue from August until late In the fall, at each place continuing from four to five days to a week. Each fair is visited by thousands of people and by the exhibits of some of Oregon's wonder ful fruits and vegetables their atten tion would be attracted to this part of the United States.
