BRING OUT YOUR EXHIBITS The success of the Oregon Inter state Fair, the gates tor which will wing open on Wednesday of next week, now reset largely with the in dividual throughout the county. Premiums, t n goodly numbers have been advertised, and the am ounts are enough to make It a good tnancial Investment tor anyone, to say nothing of the community pride, which In itself should be suclent to cause a large display in all lines. The crops on all Central Oregon ranches were far above the average -. " '. na difficulty should be j . ;.. Tiiliiif the pavilliou to Its ca ! .IV. liiure are better livestock, and more of the different grades this year than ever before. Within ten miles of Prinevllle are enough prise winners to make a marvelous show lag and the success of the livestock show now rests with the stockmen themselves, and them alone. Weather forecasts are the best, and all indications point to a first class fair, the best yet of the many good ones, but In its final analysis, the degree of success depends on the attendance, and the exhibits brought out during the next week. Attend and bring out your stuff. EVERY FACT HAS A CAUSE The Non Partisan League Is de Medly a fact and was caused by the indifference of commercial and fin ancial interests to the needs of the farmer. The farmer as a rule has felt that every Interest has taken un due advantage of his condition. A . great deal of this has been purely imaginary but had the various in terests given him the beneflit of their knowledge, It is doubtful if the Non Partisan League would be such a decided tact that it is today. It is not too late to undertake a good, clean, constructive program in the Interest of Oregon fanners and It certainly would be more to the In EXCLUSIVE AGENCY FOR with the wonderful center An extraordinary offer- For Fair Week October 6-7-8-9 we will allow you 50c for your old hot water bottle.

By working together, commercial bodies and farmers could do much to bring about favorable conditions tor both parties and the state as a whole. On one side we have the Non Partisan League and on the oth er the California idea. On teaming with bitter hatred, revolutionary id eas and., ultimate failure, and th other a constructive plan which ma' terlally Improves existing merchan dising methods. Fronts make poflts U an absolute fact. Co-operative marketing In California has proven that beyond a doubt The farmer must have pro fits and continuous profits to enable him to buy and pay tor those things which he desires, and his desires, af ter all, are quite similar to those of the merchant He wants modern comforts and conveniences and he provides himself with those things when his profits warrant. That makes business and profits for the merchant, the banker, the manufac turer, labor and so on, and so pros perity Is handed down from the pro fits of the farmer. Tnat profits make profits Is as interesting to the farmer as to the merchant and uo sane, clear thinking farmer desires a condition which would bring about any ether. A system which would bring about co-operative selling and co-operative buying for a given class would eventually spell ruin. It Is also a sound tact that It requires consumers to mske producing profi table and it Is a further proven tact that good, clean modern cities en hance the value of farms. No In dustry, .not even farming, can exist without other industries; but each is responsible djrectly or Indirectly tor the success of others, therefore It is absolutely necessary that profits be made in every endeavor to keep prosperity circulating. The farmers' problem Is not pure ly a farmers' affair but it is the af fair of the entire state and there fore every community should inter est Itself in such problems as part of its affairs. 20 big co-operative marketing as sociations In California do a business of abont (300,000,000 a year all run by the farmers, without outsid ers, other than those experts they hire.

PAT K XT DKLAY IS RKPORTKD Ji.177.8ft Acres Applied For Not Al lowed la Carey Art IJut Recently Approved by Land Office. Patent has been received by the State of Oregon tor IMM.t acres ut Carey Act land, reclaimed under the Central Oregon irrigation project In the Powell Butte country. These lands Include all of the Ore gon lists tor patent Nos. and 10, which have been pending before the Department of the Interior since 1H. The state's application for patent covered It, 141. 88' acres. There is therefore a difference of 2S77.28 ac res affected by the excess acreage question, for which patent baa been withheld pending the purchase of th. original water right by the settler. These purchases are being covered by supplemental contract between the irrigation company and the set-' tier, and as soon as adjustments are made, evidence of the settlement is being transmitted to the commis sioner of the general land office upon ( which additionel patents will Issue from time to time. 1 The area patented is all sold and improved land, most ot which la sub-' Ject to deed from the state, also all those who have completed their con tracts and hold certificates ot proof on tracts covered by the recent pat ent may surrender their certificates ; to the desert land board at Salem and receive their deeds. Those tracts affeceted by the ex cess acreage question, not having been patented by the government, cannot be deeded at this time. Evi dence of the adjustments heretofore made by supplemental agreement has been filed with the commission er of the general land office and the state has been notified that the evi dence was sufficient upon which pa tent would issue, but that the same was received too late to be included in the patent recently received. Peculiar Companionships. The srreedy shark, which devours everything living or dead, never touches the beautiful pilot fish, which Is always In Its company. Equally odd Is the companionship between the hid eous and venomous rattlpr and the "white-oak snake." There dues not spem any explanation for this friend ship.
