there were plenty of Idle men right
here In Redmond who were begging
for Jobs. but when the time came for
hiring men on the water works those
local men who were "begging for
Jobs" were not In evidence and the
contrartora were obliged to acour
around among the adjacent towns
for help, and have been running
short handed all the tltne since be­

One of (he Aral things to do when
considering the selection of speci­
mens for exhibition purposes Is to se­
cure s premium list and determine
In what classes you wish to exhibit
If you have already made your se­
lection of material, study your pre­
mium Hal very carefully und deter­
mine In what class your exhibits will
stand the heat opportunity of win­
ning a place Entry of specimen* In
the wrong class often prevents the
winning of a premium which other­
wise might be secured If properly
entered.
No matter what your exhibit con­
sists of. put It up In as neat a man­
ner as possible. Try and make your
display attractive.
If you
have
grains or grasses pul them Into neat
bundles, atrip off all loose leaves
that tend to make It look ragged,
cut off the ateins so as to make a
neat, aquare butt.
Try and have
only one variety In a bundle and or­
dinarily bul cue bundle of a variety.
Take repreaentatlve specimens of a
variety.
With potatoes, take smooth clean
specimens, handle carefully, and If
exhibiting In cratea. make then» as
attractive aa possible.
Put up a
business park.
With applea try and secure per­
fect specimens Always try snd keep
front pulling out the stems; tf. how­
ever. they are missing, don't try and
put In artificial one*
The more
highly colored, the better.
In short, one may say, handle all
your exhibit* aa carefully as though
they were eggs. Have them clean
and free from blemishes snd bruis­
es. Put them up as attractively as
|M»salble
Name them correctly and
try and have then» entered at the
fair on time.

In talking to an Oregonian about
the resources of our state you will
Invariably hear timber mentioned at
the top of the list Yes. Oregon prob­
ably lias more standing timber today
than any other state In the I'nlon
and we can well be proud of It. In­
cluded In the different varieties are
Hr. spruce, cedar, hemlock, oak. ash.
and maple as well as the more rare
varieties such aa the myrtle tree
which grow* In Coos county.
In speaking to a furniture manu­
facturer about the wonderful timber
resources of the state he said: "Yes.
we have an unlimited supply of the
best of woods for the manufacture of
not only common furniture, but high
grade furniture as well and we are
today making a good deal of furni­
ture In Oregon, hut the amount man­
ufactured Is merely a drop in the
bucket to what should he made In
Oregon. Our hardest work has been
to educate the consumer to ask for
an Oregon product. If we could make
the buyer realise to a small extent
what It would mean If he demanded
and bought Oregon made goods, the
result would be beyond figures. Fac­
tory after factory would start opera­
tions In Oregon snd It would put
hundreds of thousands of dollars In­
to circulation.
We must drill Into
our local people Che habit of asking
for a made In Oregon product.wheth­
er It be furniture, blasting powder
or hand soap.*’
A SOLEMN NEIGHHORHOOD
A blank crop report, aaya the Ran
Francisco Argonaut, was sent out by
a Cleveland paper for the farmers to
fill out, and the other day one of
them came bark with the following
written on the blank side In pencil:
"A ll we’ve got In this neighborhood
Is three wldders. two school ma'ams,
a patch of wheat, the hog cholera,
too much ratn, about flfty acres of
talers and a durn fool who married
a cross eyed gal because she owns 30
sheep and a mule, which the same Is
me. and no more at present.”
