CHILDREN TO HAVE BIG PART IN FAIR BOYS' AND GIRLS' CAMPS AT STATE FAIR WILL HAVE FOUR FROM COUNTY ber 18 to 21 inclusive. All boys and girls between the ages of 9 and 19 are eligible to contest in the project work or in the individual displays. SHERIFF RACE FEATURE OF PRIMARY ELECTION (Continued from Page 1) The school industrial club depart ment of the big county fair to be held at Canby this year is to be one of the strongest features of that annual ex hibition of tho resources and products of Clackamas county. Every effort has been directed by countv school officers and by the teachers and pupils of the schools of the county in arranging and perfect ing the products of the shop rooms of the various schools, and of the gar dens of the pupils and the home club work conducted by them. As a re suit a large display is assured and the materials which will go to make up the department will be superior to anything ever shown before in this county. Special emphasis has been laid on industrial club work this year by school officers and they have succeed ed in preparing a very attractive list of premiums and prizes for the pupils who participate in the club exhibit. When the county fair exhibits are dis mantled they will be sent to Salem where, in the state fair, they will form an important feature of the big show. Last year Clackamas county had a most creditable display ' at the state fair, but the results of the work this year are so much better that there will be no comparison between the previous display and that to be set up this fall, according to County School Superintendent J. E. Cnlavan. Throughout the, year the schools of the county have been cooperating with the state department of education and with the extension department of the Oregon Agricultural college, and field workers have visited practically every school in the county in a cam paign to interest the teachers and pupils in the purposes of industrial club work. How well they have suc ceeded is evidenced by the praise of the local officials, and will be further shown by the quality of the exhibits at Canby and at Salem this fall. Club project work, as represented al the fairs, will be rewarded with cash prizes and the premium list covering this department of the county fair should attract entries from eveiy school in the county. There will be prizes for displays of collective club products and for in dividual entries, including baking, sewing, canning, farm and home handicraft, poultry and agricultural crops. An interesting feature in connec tion with the state fair at Salem are the school camps for boys and girls, The state fair board has appropriat ed sufficient money to cover the ex penses of a boy s camp and a sepa rate camp for girls for three days. The camps are to be composed of the two boys and two girls from each county who have scored the highest number of points in their club con tests for tho county. Each county shall provide for the transportation of its pupils to the fair and the pupils will provide their own bedding. Responsible men and wo men, to be named by the state super intendent of public instruction, will have supervision over the camps and will act as directors, advisers, and chaperons from the time the camp opens until the children are placed on the train to return to their homes Each pupil, upon becoming a member of the school camp, must agree to ' submit to the rules and discipline laid down by the camp directors and the state fair board, and must present properly signed credentials. The fullest measure of pleasure will not be curtailed in any manner, however, and both the fair board and the state educational department are planning upon showing the pupils the time of their lives during the throe i days that they are at the fair grounds. This' feature will prove an incentive to the school children of this county to do their best in preparing their exhibits for the county fair and is a worthy reward for the work of the vouncr folks.

HUNTLEY IS NAMED TO PHAR MACY BOARD (Continued from Page 1) Mr. Huntley has been in the drug business in Oregon City for 26 years, He came here from Michigan and be gan the practice of pharmacy as a clerk m the store owned then by E, U. Uauhold. A year later he was taken into partnership with Mr. Caufield and a short time later bought out that gentleman's interests. Twen ty-three years ago Mr. Huntley was joined in the business by his brother, W. A. Huntley, and the two have had a very successful business career. In Oregon City the Huntley brothers have conducted a drug business in the same location for 23 years. SIZE OF FARM Land Tracts May Be Too Small Too Large The size of business often has much to do toward making the farm profit able. Farm management records show that farms are often either too small or too large for the most suc cessful farming. There may be too few as well as too many acres. A man may not have enough land or he may be "land poor," thereby render ing all his acres unprofitable, says J. C. McDowell, in the Yearbook of the department of agriculture. About 30 years ago a Wisconsin farmer with a large family was deep in debt. His farm consisted of 120 acres, half of which was under plow. The remainder was woodland and ex pensive to clear.. For 12 years the farmer had not been quite able to meet his interest. To him the whole farm consisted of unprofitable acres. He finally decided that the farm was too small for the most efficient use of the labor available. Having an op porunity he bought an adjoining 80 acres of cleared land, going into debt the full amount of the purchase price.

Oregon City Clackamas County Distributors Canby , From that time on the farm was prosperous, and in 10 years the entire farm was paid for and enough ad ditional money saved to build a good house and barn. During this period there had been no great change in prices of farm products. The smaller farm had been unprofitable because the overhead expenses were too high for so small a business. In this case acres were made profitable by increas ing their number. In the early nineties a North Da kota farmer owned three quarter sec tions of land. IIis farm was quite heavily mortgaged and for a number of years he had not been able to pay interest in full. His family was small and for the most of the work he had to depend on hired help. He concluded that under the circumstances he was working, or trying to work, too many acres. Finally, ho sold a quarter sec tion and paid his debts. Seven years later he had $5000 in the bank.' In creased prices of farm products dur ing this period only account In part for this farmer's increased prosperity. In, this case all the acres had been un profitable largely because there were too many of them. discrimination, while those outside the church, observing this condemnation of harmless things, frequently con clude that worldliness is a conception of the imagination of the church, were the statements of the Rev. J. K. Hawkins at the local M. E. church on Sunday evening. The subject of Mr. Hawkins sermon was "Worldli ness." The valuation of material and spir itual things constitutes worldliness, the speaker reasoned. Worldliness was characterized by Jesus as the spirit of the gentiles and manifested itself in the devotion to the outward life, to things sensuous; flowering in to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye and the pride of life. Accord ing to the Rev. Mr. Hawkins expres sion, this spirit pervades society, or ganizes itself, developes into social forms, evolves a practical philosophy in connection with life and when allowed to run its course unresisted tends to dominate and become supreme. the children of the community and a private primary school now being con ducted there will become a part of the new institution. Dunthorpe is included in the property of the Ore gon Iron & Steel company. Several prominent residents of Riveria are in terested in the creation of the new school, which will be planned along most modern lines. It is to be located' on the Underhill road near Elk rock, away from the main traveled road. It is probable that a master for the new school will be brought here from the University of Chicago and one of the prospective patrons will visit Chicago to arrange for the ser vices of such a man. The school will be more or less exclusive, but will be carefully planned for the greatest good of the community in which it is situated. 1 CLASSIFIED ADS them $50.

Work is progressing slowly on the roads on account of the persistent rains, and when they have been grad ed up the heavy autos plow through them and dig great ditches. It is of but little use to build dirt roads as the dirt roads are all right in the dry season and the more they are worked in the rainy weather the worse they are. 1 he only way in this county is to plank them, or build hard surface roads.

Chief Suggests Early Purchase Jewelry for Fido v Chief of Police Blanchard sug gests that it is at this particular sea son of the year that jewelry especial ly designed for the adornment of the collar of the family dog is on sale at the usual prices, and adds to the sug gestion that dog owners save them selves trouble by investing in one of these tokens of their esteem for Fido or Rex or Rover. In other words, all dog licenses are void after June 1, and to be properly safeguarded dogs must wear the 1916 tag, which can be purchased at the office of the city recorder. Chief Blanchard intends to enforce rigidly the dog license ordinance this season and every animal running at large without the new tag will be im pounded. ' The purchase of a license is the only means a dog owner has for avoiding the loss of his pet if it runs at large. at Highland, Ore. Frank Adams, Uregon City, Kt. 4. FOR SALE!
