County fairs Score Great Success The past week has seen the wind-up of practically all the county fairs to lie hel<l in the state th1. season. More than three-quarters of tlie counties in the state have had an exhibit of some sort and in every instance the quality of the product, shown has been fully up to gratae and the staging of some has been tietter than ever. At the Mate fair at Salem last week there was probably the most notable collection of Oregon fruits, grains, vegetable., live stock and manu factured articles that has ever been shown at one time in Oregon. Horse., cattle, .wine, poultry, slwcp ami pet Mock of all kinds were exhibited by practically every community in the state, and the quality and finish of the animals has never been equalled. One of the unusual feature, of the state fsir was the Itoyn’ camp at which ware quartered the prise winner, in the various pounty garden contests. Under the direction of Prof. W. A. Barr, of the Oregon Agricultural College, these boys gave an exhibition of stock judging, takinggs.subjects the price winning cows in the dairy section, ami making up a fuU and complete report as to tlie points of excellence possessed by each anima), giving his reasons (or the decision; also testing the milk for butter fat and puri ty.

BUILDING IN ANTWERP BOMB Vol. 12. mmvu Dental “Combine" Denied. Effi ciency Asserted to be Essential and Short Instruction Course Dangerous. Lents, Oregon, Oct. 7.—To the Editor of the Herald—Tn a recent issue of the Herald there appear, an editorial on the Dentistry Bill to be voted upon at the November election that raises several in quiries. You say, that having been admitted to practice dentistry in Oregon by pass ing the state examinations, a DentiM becomes a member of the "dental com bine", whose chief busintws s«*ems Ur be to maintain prii-es and avoid <omprti- Uon. Will you be good enough to explain what you mean by "the dental com bine". Are you prepared to say that there is a "dental combine" in Oregon, will you describe this organization, stat ing definitely what you know to be facts, anti not what you may have "heard", or been told by "somebody”? You say that the present law requires a DentiM to pa-* a state examination and that "these examinations, according to those who have been subjected to them, are arbitrary and discriminatory." Every state in the United States, ex cept one, require a Dentist to par* an examination. In Arkansaw the reqire- ment for a state examination is optional with the State Dental Board. Dentists who have passe«! the Oregon examinations say that it is practical and requires only reasonable qualifications of the applicant. Did you ever know a child who failed in an examination to say that the examination was "fait"? Teachers take examinations, ex.-uiiua- tions are required by physicians, phar macists, veterinary surgeons, ie*y*r-. barbers and memtiers of other prole.-*- ions and trades tnat have to do wiUi public liealth and public education, why should not a DentiM be given a state examination? Mouth hygiene is one of the fundamentals of health. You say that the chief businem of th-» "dental combine seems to be to maintain prices and avoid compMition." Did you ever ask 50 dentists their prices on work? Try it. You will find that there is no standard of prices what ever and that the prices vary with the individual dentist. You speak of their opposition to Do you know that "Competition", only four other states in the Union have a greater percentage of dentists to the population than Oregon? You say there is a well understood rule among dentists that publicity in the form of advertising is unpardonable and non-ethi<Ml. On what authority do you know that? If you will look up their "codeof ethics” you will find that the only advertising which they «iiscrim- inate against is untruthful advertising. Any decent newspaper ought to be ashamed to take any other kind. There are a number of advertising dentists io Portland who are in no way discriminated against by other meavbere of the profession an«! one of the wrdeM adveHisere of the state is supporting the campaign against the Dentistry Bill. Yon say “a change in the law to a more rational and sincere proeedore of issuing licenses would not nee lower the standard of the protee whom there is not now a few and incompetents". Do you consi«ier the proposed "Den- tistry Bill" a more rational and sincere procedure of issuing licensee? The proposed Bill would issue a license - to a graduate from a course of two years of six months each. Can a DentiM learn all he n«*vds to know about den tistry in 12 months? To treat a horse the State of Oregon requires a veterinary surgeon to take a course of not less than 27 months ia a college rccognizwl by tin* United State» Bureau of Animal InduMry. To shave a man’s fare the State of Oregon requires a barber to have actual experience in a Shop or Barber College 36 months. lathe treatment of yonr mouth ae important as the tree moot of your horse or your heard?
