lege he was entirely self supporting
and yet found time to engage in
numerous student activities. He
served as Student Body President,
his senior year and also as manager
of the Men's Drrmitory.
He is married and has one child.
Mrs. Blanchard, also a former

SEPTEMBER 27 - 30
The Crook County Fair, bigger
and better than ever, will open on
September 27 with the longest list
of big attractions by far ever j
state.
The livestock and agricultural
exhibits will surpass what were on
the grounds .last year, and because
of the season, the quality of all
farm products will be better than
ever before.
While there is something of a
similarity in these exhibits each
year, they never fail to attract
people from far and near.
The list of
free events is large
and of a high class. The aviator
who will appear here this year is
doing stunts in the air that have
never before been attempted.
A championship baseball series,
where Prineville hopes to win the
title for the state, will be an ad
ditional feature. Don't miss a day
this year.
Mr. and Mrs. Wallace Post cele
brated their golden wedding at
their home near Post yesterday.
