Tbe time : for holding fair . has
come and nearly every county In the
northwestern states will hold an ex-
. Ill ltlon of Its products. Many of these
counties Will also hold race, meetings
at the same time in order to attract
the people to the grounds to see the
.products of the soil.
The officers of ftiost fair' associa
tions are strongly in favor of holding
race at the same time as the fair, a
i they claim that the people will not
' turn out merely to see tbe grains, cat
tle, horses and other things raised on
tbe farms. Moat people enjoy a little
excitement and the races give them
the pleasure they crave.
But the real object of the fair
should not be forgotten and the farm
products should bf given, their full
ahare of attention : ' s
" The finest grains,; hay, horses
cat-
tie,; and all products of the farm, as
well as all the manufactures of the
county.' should be displayed at the
county fair. This county has the op
portunity to achieve much publicity
by'having the finest fair In Eastern i , t ceived Jn New York .from Lon
Oregon. The products are here and . do oy cable. "

But a fair cannot be made a suc
cess unless the people of the county
take an Interest in It. ; Tbe farmers
ahould take pride in saving the best
of their crops fot the displays, and In
getting their fine stock in the bear'
possible shape for exhibition. Then
they should bring them to the fair
where they can be seen. There may
not be any large herds that would take
all the blue ribbons at the state fair
but thre Is fine stock 'In the county
and It should be brought to the fair
bo that other will ha encouraged to do
their best. . H Is an excellent oppor-.
tunity for the farmers to get together
and talk over their affairs and discus
the best methods of raising stock and
grain. ' '

A GOOD TOWS.
Th.3 great mass of people are simi
lar, to the man who was looking for
diamonds and took a trip into a far
country, thinking that there he could
find great wealth. But as the story
is told the diamonds were all about
him In ibe rough and he did not know
enough to pick them up and break
off the covering that concealed the
sparkling beauties. He only needed
the proper amoant of information to
be able to make his fortune.
There" are many people In La Grande
and the Grande Ronde valley who
think" that every other ' place ; that
achieves much publicity Is better than
their home community. But let them
go to the place that is advertised so
highly - and investigate conditions
thoroughly, and then they will be sat
isfied to come back and remain in a
good town. La Grande ia as good
as the best of them and better than
the 'average. There is not another
town in this part of the state that
looks as good at th.3 present time as
does this city. La Grande ia going
steadily ahead. The streeta are be
ing improved, houses are being erect'
d. business Is cood and the whole
tiii 'la In a anhatantial condition
Look around yon and then compare
what you see with what there Is at
home. Be a booster for La Grande
flrst, last and all the time,, and Jf
any other community looks better to
you than La Grand, go there.

; New York, Aug. 26. (Special) The
summer season has passed its climax
and, although It is still warm and the
lightest summer toilettes are still sea
sonable, the thoughts qf women begin
to turq toward autumn and the sur
prises In fashions which it may bring
The regular fall fashions will not be
divulged until later, when the leading
houses have their autumn openings.
but tht 1st inmnwf mndola' ar full
of hints of things to come and new
materials and trimmings are already
displayed In the wholesale houses and
even in aome of the moet progressive
retail ahops. Only a few of these new
things, however, are allowed to reach
the counters. The others are guarded
from tbe public eye until the actual
opening of the fall season and Jiew
importatlons are coming In daily.
If one may judge by the imported
stuffs up to date tba two-faced mater
ials are to be much In evidence both
In silks and woollens. , One can find
these effects In all weights from soft,
heavy,1 reversible cloths for motor or
polo coats to the lightest of serges and
tbe supplest of satins. Just how thee
materials will be used remains to be
seen, though In connection with the
cover-all coats the riddle is easy to
read, for already stunning coats fash
ioned from the double faced stuffs are
on view, and for that matter models in
such materials wera launched' last
spring. . ' "f.;.'' -'A':: n'-' ;'
Soft neutral tones of ten have" re
verse sides In brilliant color and the
bright green or blue or cerise or or
ansa shows in collars, cutis, etc.
Sniar coats are made np, too, in one
tone polo cloth or similar material
backed with white, a huge white col
lar being chic and becoming If not as
serviceable as one of a darker hm.
Checked effects are much used for the
reverse aid of plain tons woollens.
In some cases the wholet coat is really
reversible. ' v
What has been said of the heavier
coat material applies as well to the
lighter weight double-faced cloths de
signed for suit purposes. .The color
combinations in these double-faced
materials are extremely varied and
often strong of contrast. t
Just what the autumn season will
have to offer in colors cannot be stat
ed now; It hardly seems possible that
there are variations still to be run
pon the primal lines, but there may
be slightly -different nuances of well;
known lines and when the season is
well along 'one or two shades will, of
course, , become enormously popular,
Tbe yellows and the various tones of
beige, champagne, sand, etc., have
been gradually claiming a place high
on the color list this summer, and a
correspondent well Informed on. the
subject writes that at least two of the
famous Paris dressmakers are taking
up tlH-se color with enthusiasm tor
fall uses. ' '. 'v -I
Just what will be done with the taf
fetas which have come Into emphatic
favor during tbe summer no one seems
to know. The material has not run
Its course, not not "even, reached the
highest point of its popularity. It will
undoubtedly be much worn through
out the fall, but whether it will con
tinue tn vogue during the winter Is
question Impossible to answer-at the
present time. . L -
The use of chiffon for blouses has
Increased tremendously since last
year. , Women hava learned how be
coming and graceful the chiffon blouse
Is and how easily such a blouse may
be slipped over different slips to make
pleasing changes with the one coa
and skirt costume. This year some of
the chiffon blouses ara used over
foundations of metallic brocade, which
is wonderfully soft and supple. The
glistening brocade of the lining Is ao
rich In Itself that such blouses need
no further trimming than a line of
gilt or dull silver cord around the

worn in the house, but with the trig,
good looking autumn street suit, a
high collar around the tnroat is Dy
far the smarter choice.
There Is a growing tendency to dis
card the peasant sleeve wun its
clinging shoulder line for a close fit
ting sleeve set Into an arm's eye, and
many of th? new sleeves bell out to
ward the lower edge.' Long shoulder
lines, however, will undoubtedly con

waists show shoulders extending sev

the sleeve set In between shoulder and
