State Fair Offer Fine Prizes to the
Youngster for Exhibits.
By N. C. MARIS. - '
(Field Worker Industrial Fairs.)
JSalem, Aug. 20. (To the boys and
girls of Union county) : Last week. I
reminded you of the near approach of
the state fair and your home fair. I
hope you have gotten busy with your
gardens, your bird bouses, your tables
yotir poultry, your sewing, your bat
ing, etc. If. you do not Rave a copy
of the state fair prise lift, call on your
county school superintendent, or write
to State Superintendent J. A. Church
ill, Salem, Oregon, and he will send
you one.. Read the prize list through
carefully and see what you can do
best, if you have not already done so,
and select, the classes you are going to
compete in. Do not overlook the spe
cial prizes in the back part of the
book. You will find some very at
tractive prizes among them, including
the Shetland pony for . the best live
stock exhibit; a cream separator for
the best two pounds of butter; Scotch
collies for the best fat lamb; an in
. cubator for the largest and best poul
try exhibit, etc., etc.
If you are going to enter the pig
feeding contest it is tints , you had
your pigs on full feed. There are two
valuable prizes offered in the pig
xeeaing contest, and tne boys wno en
ter this contest will gain valuable ex-
perience, besides making good money
oat of their pigs. With pigs selling
at $10.00 -a hundred, you are almost
in Rockefeller's class, if you own two
or three pigs. There are three' nice
prizes for the best sow and litter of
pigs, the first being a hundred dol
lar Jersey call. We hope to see a
large exhibit of pigs and poultry at
the state fair this year, as well as at
the local fairs. In keeping account
worth while. ' The pig contest is open
to girls as well as to boys; so look out,
boys, for some girls are good pig
feeders. At some of the local schools
fairs in Oregon last year the girls
beat the boys with their pigs. It was
"tit' for tat," though, for the boys
some times won over the girls with
their bread, butter and jelly. - . ,.'
. Oregon boys and girls led every
state in the Union with their school
fairs last year, and we are expecting
them to keep up their record this
year. I am sure you are too patri
otic to disappoint us.

Db Some People Always Get Ahead? .
FOUR REASONS
That Seem to Answer Most Cases.
REASON ONE
Their word is always good. Their note is always paid.
Their
frietWs always speak a good word for them.
REASON TWO-
They tise good judgment and observe things as they really are
REASON THREE-
These people five in La Grande; buy their goods in La Grande.
They work in La Grande and invest their savings in La Grande.
REASON FOUR 7
Their investments in La Grande are always under their own con
trol and in consequence their returns are always satisfactory.
They are not misled by the far away illusions, knowing thatLa
Grande offers greater opportunities for investment than any place
in the Northwest.
