Loyalty a Prerequisite
of Good Citizenship
There are few thing's more dis
couraging than to hear a person
disparaging and criticising the
town in which he lives. Loyalty to
the home town is one of the pre
requisites of good citizenship and it
is true always that the best citizen,
the one who is most valuable to the
community, is not the one who is
constantly complaining and criticis
ing, but is the one who, with cherry
smile and pleasant word of greet
ing for all, always has a good word
to nay for the town and if some
things are displeasing, puts forth
his best efforts to enlist the aid of
the citizens in correcting the faults.
The knocker is a mighty poor asset
to the community, even though he
may be a large taxpayer. The man
who boosts, day in and day out.
who forgets the disagreeable things
and talks only of the advantages of
his home town, is the one aho is
helping to make the town better
and brighter and to add to its at
tractiveness, even though his bank
account be small and his oppor
tunities for helping in a financial
way be limited. Let's all boost for
our town and let the world know
that we not only think it is the best
town in Central Oregon, but that it
actually is the best.
First impressions are as a rule
lasting impressions and if this first
impression is an unfavorable one, I
whether it be of a person or a town. I
ic is hard to revise or eradicate. I
Thus it behooves us to make this
such a clean and attractive town
that the first impression of every ;
visitor will be a favorable one.
Well kept lawns, good sidewalks
and a general appearance of thrift
and cleanliness go far towards
favorably impressing the visitor
who may be a homesecker looking
for a new location for his family,
or an investor looking for a favor
able site for a new industry. Even
if but a casual visitor, it stands us
in nana to mane a iavorible im
pression, for this casual visitor may
prove to be a walking advertise
ment for this town if he is favor
ably impressed with it. Muddy
streets, unkept yards and lawns,
poor sidewalks and a general run-down-at-the-heels
appearance are
mighty poor advertisements for any
town. Let's all get together and
make our town a spotless town.

Farmers Encouraged
Over Crop Prospects
The harvesters are in the field
and the sound of the mower is
heard on every hand. The outlook
for hay in most parts of the county
is far the most hopeful ever seen
and the ranchers -are therefore
optimistic regarding the future.
At this time they seem to have for
gotten the recent talk of short
crops, and they are all so busy that
they can see nothing but an im
mense crop of hay and grain in
sight. f
Prosperity seems to be in the
wind that is what little wind pre
vails at this time The first crop
of alfalfa is being harvested and in

Crook County Fair
September 16,17,18,19
The dates for the Tenth Annual
Crook County Fair have been set
for September 16, 17, 18, 19. The
directors of the association are
working hard to bring out all
worthy exhibits in the county and
many special premiums are being
offered by individuals for work of
art and products of the farm.
Lectures will be given during the
fair n subjects of general interest.
Let everyone bring some product
of the farm, garden, orchard or
work shop and help make this the
biggest fair ever held in Crook
county. The directors cannot
make a fair a success unassisted, so
bring in your stuff and make this
occasion one to be long remembered.
While in some districts of the
county the farm products are not
up to the average, others are un
usually good, and livestock is in
fine condition and there is no doubt
but what there will be as fine a lot
of stock on exhibition at the fair
this fall as was ever shown at any
