Big Three-day Celebration Opens at Elgin This Morning. Elgin, July 3. (Special.) Almost every eligible baby in this part of the country was on exhibition in Elgin at 2:30 this afternoon, for that is the time that the Better Baby Show will be held. Thiss arousing a lot of interest, and the management of the matter has decided to allow all babies under two years of age to en ter, no matter how young they may be. Dr. J. P. Graham, of La Grande, has been induced to come and be the judge of the Babies, and the prizes will he awarded strictly in accordance with the rules 57 eugenics. There is. no entrance fee, and all are invited to enter their babies that are under two years of age. Horse Races a Feature. No one would have believed that the prizes offered would have brought out the horses that will be on hand) to take part in the races during the two days of the celebration. Jini Elliott is already in town with a string of half a dozen of his fa.s stock, and is to be sep, fa a.H J0UV8 or the day riding them up anil down the street. He has some of the fastest Jiorses in this part of the country, and anyone who expects to get any of the prizes will have him to reckon with. Bert Woods always has a fast horse or two and we are informed that he will be on hand for a try at some of the money, and Ray Norval also has a thoroughbred that he will enter. In addition to these there will very probably be other local entries, and also there is the possibility that one or more well known Wallowa county owners of fast stock will be here. The track has been put in betfer condition than had been thought would be possible, and there is every indication that there will be some running that will be well worth see-, ing. A crew of men have been at work on the track for the past week, and it has been kept soaked with wa ter from the fire hose. It is a, straight away at the west of Main street over three-eighths of a mile n length, and there will be plenty of opportunity for the spectators to see the horses. They will start near the Huckett residence and finish at the other end of the track. ' Big Free Street Dance. Both nights during the celebration there will be a free street dance at the corner of Front and C streets, ; and everyone is invited to take part in it. The Elgin Concert Band will furnish the music, audi nil who have l.rd the privilege of enjoying this kind of dancing state that it is great sport, and that at the Merchants' convention, in La Grande, where it was first introduced, in this -section, : they certainly had a good time. The,, street will be leveled off and pre pared in other ways to afford the best time. Don't o'erlook the free streeti dance when you come to the celebra tion in Elgin. 1'arade al 10:00 Sharp. , The parade will leave the south end1 of Front street at 10:00 o'clock sharp on the morning of the Fourth, and all who desire to parade in it should be there in plenty of time to be as signed to their position. The num-' ber of people who have already sig- nified their desire to cnt' has been large, and the parade should be one of the bes, fe4l!iS f the day. Educators At Civic Conference. Madison, Wis., July 2. Prominent ct'.icators who will attend the annual meeting of the National Education as sociation, which opens at St. Paul on July 4, were present today when thd conference on Civic Secretaryship as rublic Service was called to order in the capitol building here.

Washington, Jul 2. New grades for commercial corn, established by the department of agriculture, went into etfect today. The corn grades, as promulgated, are practically the same as the tentative grades formu lated in 1913. Suffragists broke into the room of the English crown prince and found him out. We shall never know what great reform might have been ac complished if they had found him in n d putting on a clean dickey. Back from Fishing Trip.
