THEICOUNTY FAIR 4
ThelCentral Oroaron fair associa
tionjowns at Prinoville ont'ofthe
lest equipped fair grounds in the
easternjhalf of Jthe'state. In fact
therejare none others in interior
remove the rinkles from the brow
of the business man. They loosen
the purse strings and impart a
motion to the nimble dollar. They
are a delight to thrifty housewives,
and the male bargain hunter cannot
resist the temptaions of their blan
dishments. They create values, begit
competition, are barometers of trade
and create fortunes. Their friends
are on both sides of the counter.
They educate the people and swell
the ranks of shoppers. They are a
stirring force in every community
in which their arts are employed.
Their extent , indicates the city's
style. Show me, says a distinguished
merchant, the advertisements of a
city, and I will show you the city's
balance sheet.
Oregon that can compare with it.
It is a solem fact' for Prineville at
least, that the interest in this fair
lias been allowed to lag until with
the aid from the county last year
the county fair failed to get out an
exhibit of farm products that would
compare favorably with Redmond
which associatoin had no county aid,
but did have the united support of
the community which the county
fair lacked
, The new board has taken up the
work of putting on a fair this
year with a vim, and has plans!
that will be a great improvement!

To make the fair the success that
it should be, it will be necessary for j
the county to get behind it and in j
this connection it may be stated that
Redmond is planning a celebration
for July 4th, and Bend is putting
on a Chautauqua at about that date.
There should be a gentlemen's
agreement that Prineville stage no
(counter attraction on this date, but
support these neighboring towns, in
return'of course that thev give the
county fairtheir'support this fall.
ADVERTISING USES
Sweet are the uses of advertising.
They dispel the'season's dullness and
HERE'S A BUSINESS MAN
Sedan, Kansas, is just an ordinary
country town with a population
equaling that of Prineville. And it
has one real business man. His
name is J. H. Edwards. And now
listen: Edwards spent two thousand
dollars last year with his local
papers in advertising. And he does
the same thing every year. Has it
paid him? Well, he went to Sedan
a few years ago with but little
capital. He now owns a magnificent
store, a nice home and a big farm.
"We value our advertising enough
to make it a part of our assets," he
says. "It is the live wire of any
business, and a person can tell pretty
well the amount of energy behind a
a business by the kind and amount
of advertising that the business is
doing."
DO IT NOW
The president of one of the largest
utility companies in the United
States and a former cabinet officer
urges that now is the time to ad
vertise. Publicity efforts should be
redoubled now, because advertising
increases demand and stimulates
production. The merchant and
manufacturer who keep their pro
ducts prominently before the public
now are not only proving their faith
in the soundness and strength of
American industry, and thus setting
a good example to the more timid,
but are certain to reap an ample re
ward in the material returns that
are sure to come. Wall Street

CALIFORNIA FIRST
California is the first state in the
Union to abolish the party label in
state polities. The political opinion
of the average v oter is much more
liberal in the matter of party than
at any other time in the history of
the country. It is only in recent
years that newspapers have bad
the courage to support the candidate
regardless of party. The stop that
our sister state has taken is a good
one, and will no doubt be followed
by many others soon.
THE OREGON VOTER
C. C. Chapman has launched a
weekly publication in Portland for
the purpose of discussing political
issues in the state. Mr. Chapman
is a man of ability, and no doubt he
will make this little sheet a power
in matters political.

A farmer might just as well try
to get a big crop without cultivation
as for a business man to try to build
up a great trade without advertising
Both are a matter of cultivation.
