I'arenta Proud of Exhibit.
The school children's exhibit,
friven under the auspices of the grade
cchool clubs of the county under the
supervision of Miss Ethel 1. Calkins
In the rural districts and T. D. Kirk
pal rick in the city work, attracted
wide attention among the visitors in
general and the parents in particular.
"This has been a successful year in
the work among the school children
Eaid Miss Calkins. "The building for
the club work exhibition is full this
week and it will be necessary to ex
tend the building in time for next
year's fair. The children are taking
an interest In the work, and their suc
cess is demonstrated by the fact that
several of the boys' entries in sheep,
calves and hoga won prizes in the
open classes."
The work done by the school chil
dren through the clubs includes sew
ing, cooking, canning, garden and
field crops, and the raising of sheep,
calves, hogs and goats. The children
themselves are greatly interested in
the work and some keen competition
has developed.
Ockley Green school won first prize
for city school exhibits and Maple
wood school first in rural exhibits,
lloy lias Three Projects.
One little boy completed three
"projects" during the last year and
had on exhibition a hog. a calf and a
loaf of bread. This lad, John Flem
ing, won a third prize at the Salem
fair and a first prize in the local fair
on his prize hog. According to Miss
Calkins, it is unusual for a child to
complete more than one project in a
year.
Another boy, Gilbert Wagner of the
Fairview school, had on exhibition a
hog and a loaf of bread at the begin
ning of the day. Toward noon yes
terday, during an unguarded moment,
the hog helped himself to a large bite
from the loaf of bread. Later the
entire loaf had disappeared, and when
the boy was asked what had happened
to It he admitted that after he had
I chased the hog away he had felt
. hungry, so he had "finished the loaf
1 iimself."
Frank Ferris of the Gilbert school
outdid an his girl friends in making
bread. He captured first and second
'. places in breadmaking for two con
6ecutive years.
RnMelTille Grange Takes First.
The grange exhil. ts held a premier
place in the attention of the day.
Kusselvillo grange captured first
place Wednesday with a total score
of 86 points, the highest points being
made in grains, vegetables, fruit and
canned products, juuitnomah grange
was second with a score of 80 points
a-nd Pleasant Valley third with 7 4
points. All of the grange exhibits
displayed a pleasing variety of all
the products of the farm, arranged in
a rleasing and artistic manner.
me livestock exhibit is said to com
pare favorably with the state fair
exhibition at Salem. Barn facilities
for the thoroughbred cattle, sheep
horses and hogs are crowded to the
limit, and many extensions will have
to be made fop nex$t year, according
to the fair officials.
"This is the most successful fair we
have ever had," said C. . Minton
manager. "In spite of the fact that
we had doubled the exhibit space for
the sheep and hogs, there is no avail
able epace left at present. We will
have -to establish larger barn facili
ties for tiext year, according to pres
ent indications.".
Toward the close of the day many
missing articles which were lost in
tho crowds were reported to the of
fice of the fair officials. One of the
largest losses of the day was that of
Mrs. Ella DuBrille, 775 East Yamhill
street, who reported.that she had lost
a purse containing some currency and
a J1000 liberty ond.

Somewhere in Portland there Is a

;The little three-line ad bore fruit, for

to meet her unknown fiance.
But the heavy rains of the past few
days halted the nuptial plans of the

"She is heavyvset and wears a black

Of course the chief did his best for

DULUTII ' WOMAN
HER RCXAYVAY
ROUXDS UP
HUSBAND.
Fugitive Traced to City Jail
Forgiven by Wife and Then
Everybody Is Happy.
Is
Mrs. Robert Smith of Duluth, Minn.,
has solved the problem of handling
husbands who are charged with non
support. When her husband left home a few
weeks ago without leaving cash for
the family larder, she swore out a
warrant for his arrest for non-support.
Later, she helped the police of
Duluth trace Smith to Portland,
where he was arrested several days
aro on a fugitive warrant.
Then Mrs. Smith prevailed upon the
Duluth police to send her to Portland
to take her spouse into custody. They
paid her transportation to Portland
so she might take charge of her hus
band. With her came her small daugh
ter. They arrived Wednesday night.
Yesterday Mrs. Smith presented her
case to Deputy District-Attorney
Deich. She announced her readiness
to return to Duluth with her prisoner.
Then she went to the city jail and
visited Smith. He presented a woe
begone appearance. Her heart
melted.
From the jail cell she returned to
the deputy prosecutor.
"I want my husband back," she said.
"I will not prosecute."
The Portland police were willing.
And so was Duluth. It was "jake"
all around that the prosecution should
be dropped.
Late yesterday afternoon the recon
ciled family left the police station.
Robert and Mrs. Smith walked arm In
arm. The youngster clung happily to
her fathers hand.
For the Smith family, late of Du
luth, it was the end of a perfect day.
