Through years of its existence, dur ing, which it has figured prominently in the city's social life, although it has oeea the scene of innumerable gay af fairs. It never welcomed such brig-ht faces as those of yesterday, when the baby show, given by the Manufac turers" and Land Products Show, was held there. Babies almost without number were in the exhibit room, most of them to be judged as to their beauty, brightness and activity, while countless others were brought by their mothers to look on and they opened their wondering eyes wide at the crowd of other little folic Wore than 400 babies were listed as they entered the exhibit room, a care ful " committee insisting upon taking the name, age, sex and address of each child brought for exhibit. ... Committee la Swamped. .But there is a limit to what the most painstaking committee can accomplish in making tabulations, and realising iu n nm vnai statistics were kept up until the last child was inside the room there would be no time remain ing for the more serious business of judging the merits of the youngsters, the. committee members threw up their hands, figuratively speaking, and in sisted no longer on listing every isfant. Following that point in the after noon's progress more and still more babies poured into the room in a steady stream. When the judging was at its height, about 4 o'elock. the room looked like the home of old Orandaddy Stork, and one could quite believe he had in vaded the" headquarters of this more or less sagacious old bird. If the Armory ballroom was not. in fact, the place where all the babies come from, it was. at least temporarily, the objective point of almost every baby in town, or so it seemed. There were entered no fewer than 12 pairs of twins and there was one set of triplets. Frances, Dorothy and Eliz abeth Tooney. who attracted no end of attention. Kaeh of tile three was a happy, bright-eyed child, and they seemed to realize that they were the star attraction at the big show. Space In at Premium. There was hardly room for judging the babies, although the ballroom is a spacious old place, with seemingly un limited room. Pens were fenced oft with chairs, however, and the babies under inspection were placed inside these and within -little fenced-off en closures where their- good points were noticed. The judges probably were the busiest persons in the whole state. 'There were any number of mothers who hung upon every motion of the judges, hopeful for a verdict in favor of their own chil dren, and the arbiters of the prise-giving were not without advice and help ful hints from the spectators. It was such a big baby show, with so many children to be examined, that competition was keen. The judges, when the show was over, realized they had been through what is perhaps the severest ordeal that anyone may under go. Their verdicts, they believed, were justified, although there were many pretty children that, by the nature of things, could not be given prizes be cause there were not enough to go around. Babies AV.-11 Drkaved. From the crowds of spectators, there are great numbers of lovers of chil dren n Portland. They crowded the room, and, while giving a close in spec tion to the children on view, they kept as good offer as the congested con dition of thi room would permit. The babies, to do them justice, made far I ' 1 HI W-fan i . teas bollabaloo "than jnight have been expected from such a large gathering. Mrs.T A. J. Coplan was in charge of the baby show.

AGRICULTURIST IS ASKED Gresham Committee Wants $3000 Appropriated for County Official. J. J: Johnson, master of Pomona Grange and Evenin Star Grange; H, A. Lewis, president Multnomah County Fair Association, and H. E. Davis, of the Uresham Grause ..and . Oresham Fruitgrowers' Association, are a com mittee asking that an agricultural ex pert will' be provided for by the Com missioners for the ensuing year. An appropriation of $3000. is sought, to gether with the upkeep of an automo bile. One-half of the cost would be paid by the state, under the. act of 1913. Nearly all the granges of the. county have indorsed the petition for this ex pert. This committee urges that co operative marketing is one of the ob jects to be obtained and the increase in small fruit crops. Such expert, with an automobile, it is pointed out, can easily cover the entire county and give instructions: and advice to every farmer In. the . county on marketing and the best .crops to plant. The com mittee has gathered statistics to show what has been accomplished in the 11 other counties of Oregon that have been employing experts for several years. . - MRS.
