the citizens of the coimtry mid of the city for the mutual
purpose of honoring the efforts of the people outside the
small limits of the city. Thej realise that the viewing of
these exhibits advertises their community and makes ap
parent tu even citisen of the county the importance of the
agricultural industries here. They also know that it puts
in fore the homeseeker the exacl products of each neigh
borhood and shows that the people of that community
have accomplished in the past year.
The fair also furnishes amusement and the opportunity
for friends to meet. It helps to lighten the burden of life
for the while, as well as to start movements for the future
of the count as a whole, or for parts of it.
The county fair is an institution for the people. This
year shows what is wanted, and it proves that it should
invcr be abandoned.
The efforts of the Malheur Comity Pair Association are
worthy of high praise because of t heir success in overcom
ing obstacles and making the best fair ever held iii Mal

YOUR WINTER READING
Every Tall, with the lure r the evening lire and cold
ness whipping oar ambitions, we plan to make our winter
profitable by a certain amount of reading that we may be
better Btudents and better citizens.

It is along these lines that the Ontario ArgUS is built
and in practically every one of its features it has the ex
clusive fighl of publication. If you do not read the ArgUS

..AiNG IS RESPECTABLE
( )ne of the most notable thngS about the use of the Eng
Isli language in respectable circles- and by respectable.
or at li ast semi-respectable editors is the tolerance of
llang nowadays as compared with what was considered
proper a few years ago. If some of the literary men who
used choice English fifty years ago could come back to
earth and read some of the breezy things that are written
now for example the crisp editorials in the Saturday
Evening Post which usually contain a big enough sprink
ling of slang to keep from spoiling they would be shock
ed. Even professors are coming to tolerate slang. They
used to be "dead set" against it. and looked with horror
upon the man who was slovenly in this reaped in his oral
speech, and were more disgusted that any person who
claimed the right to associate with civilised beings should
write stuff for the people in Bowery style. Today this
is changed. The strongest defense of slang comes from
the professors. They have discovered the very simple
truth thai a sprinkling of slang in a language Is evidence
that it is alive. When a language ceases to change and
grow it is dead. Dead Inngung i an nil right in their
place, but are not til for live people. We have great res
peel for Greek and Latin li liould prefer to use the
slangiest of the slang i I il wcrencce -an to make a choice
Blana of toda in n few years inn; hei omc perfectly
"good English.'' Not everj Blang word or phrase lives.
Bui mixture leaveiisour Inngungc and thai which survives
can well be called -nod or useful for the ver reason thai
it does survive. Going through the mill ol usage b) mil
lions of people is jusl as apl to purii'v as is the process of
passing the critical censorship of some seedy professor
of t he older sellout.
AMERICAN CHRISTMAS GOODS
One of the results of the war has been transferring the
headquarters of Toyland from German; to America. A
forerunner of this wave was the lending last year of the
"Christmas ship" laden with to) s for the children of the
soldiers who were lighting the battles of their country.
The practical result has been the -nat increased produc
tion of all kinds of tovs in this country. mh year deal
era in America had a big shall" of their Christinas toys al
ready on this side of the Atlantic when the war began, but
this year the supply that will come from Gorman) will
be very limited. There arc hundreds of millions of dol
lars worth of goods tied np al Rotterdam waiting ship
