The growth of the organization from 47 members to over 700, with others being added every day, ahows the strength of the movement, and means that price fixing by buyers will not always prevail as it has In the past.

THK FAIK We should all strive to make the most of every opportunity that is offered us, individually or as a community. The Oregon Inter-State Fair Is the biggest opportunity we have had for showing the people of the state and other states our hospitality. Its growth has been possible by a spirit of cooperation that has meant much hard work and a single pur pose for years. Just now, however, It is well to consider the other phase of the function. With the fair comes its good and its bad influences. The stock show, the association loeether of the good people of the country, and a moderate amount of amusement features Is as It should be and can but have a wholesome effect on the people attending the fair each year. There is a following of people who attend these fairs that add nothing to the good influences, and take from the wealth, and moral re sources of the community. While there is no way of regulat ing the attendance at the fair, the management should look Into this feature of the matter, and see that no unusual encouragement be given this element. usual routine way. Characterizing Im Toilette's speech in St. Paul on September 20 before the Nonpartisan League as "disloyal and seditious," the resolution declares ths utterances already have served to create treasonable sentiment In Min nesota and petitions the senate to be gin proceedings to expel La Kollette i as a leHCtier ot disloyalty ana seui tlon. giving aid and comfort to our enemies and hindering the govern ment In the conduct of the war."
