OREGON STATE FAIR
Whitney Boy Singers to Be
Notable Attraction.
SECRETARY LEA RETIRES
Faroe of Annual Event Spreading
Because of Efficient Work
. . of Energetic Manager.
SALEM. Or.. Sept. 3. (Special.)
The most pleasing announcement to
be made 'n connection with the 60th
Oregon state fair, September 2S
October 1, is that the famous Whitney
boys' chorus, one of the most nota
ble musical organizations in the Pa-
I cific northwest, or more correctly, in
the entire country, will .participate in
the forthcoming event. The date as
yet is tentative, but it is thought
that arrangements may be made
whereby the chorus will bo heard
on one day of the fair, and also on
either the Sunday preceeding or the
one following the annual event.
An amplifier will be placed on the
grounds and another, in the White
. House, Washington. In this way
President Harding will be enabled
to hear the voices of seven lundred
western boys and they in turn will
be able to hear his expression of
thanks, which will follow the sing
ing. H. E. K. Whitney, organizer and
director, will be in Salem and will
be in charge! '
Plans for this quite remarkable at
traction have Just been completed by
Secretary A. H. Lea, who had the
co-operation of Governor O.cott in
communicating with the president.
Lea to Quit Job.
As the nearness of the state fair
approaches, ideas become realities
and dreams materialize. This year
marks the last for Mr. Lea, who has
served in the capacity of secretary
to the state fair board for the past
six years. It is auspicious that his
efforts should cease at the close of
the 60th anniversary year, which is.
as It were, a year of jubilee and
general celebration. The years that
Mr. Lea has been identified with
the office have been years of prog
ress and achievement a record that
stands for nothing if not decisive
efficiency.
Under his supervision the state
fair has become Oregon's greatest
enterprise, with its influence reach
ing to the remotest corners of the
state. It has become recognized as
tha one annual happening which has
features that appeal to every taste
andintellect interested in the progress.-
of humanity, at large, and the
people of this commonwealth, in par
ticular. Beginning his work with a clear
vision of the livestock and agricul
tural possibilities of the state. Mr.
Lea has concentrated all his energies
in making the state fair a livestock
and agricultural exposition. Begin
ning with a small appropriation a
h's command with which to establish
a foundation for his activities, per
sonal influence was called into serv
Ice and that the response during th
first few years of his incumbency
was greater in importance and sig
ntficance than in any previous sea
sons bespeak much for the person
amy of the man.
. Premiums Much Larger.
-Premiums in 1916. when Mr. Lea
assumed the secretaryship, amounted
to $10,000. Largely through his ef
forts and influence this fund ha
gradually been increased until it mor
than trebled that amount this sea
son.: $37,500 in award money being
available for distribution at present
.. It has been Mr. Lea s ambition to
make tha Oregon state fair second to
none on the Pacific coast, and one
that will compare favorably to any
in' -the United States. That he has
accomplished his ambition In the
period of six brief years is not to be
Ignored. The territory east of the
Mississippi has heard of this great
western exhibition, and has become
interested, so much so, that each year
for the past three seasons, the list of
entries in the' pure-bred stock divl
sions has disclosed the names nf soma
of the most notable breeders of the
east, middle west and southeast.
rOwners of many of the larger
tables also have been drawn west
ward, Mr. uta endeavors to in
terest horsemen in the east and Can
ada,' as well as the Pacific north
west and California, having been
rfDhently successful. The track at
the state fair grounds has come in for
serious consideration and has been
built up from a middle-class affair
to one of the finest n the country,
and is o recognized hy followers of

Wen Who Fail to Back Agricultural
Industry at This Tim De
clared Recreant.
A broadside against "the slacker in
industry" was delivered by Fred S.
Stimson, owner tf the Hollywood
farms, near Seattle, at a recent meet
ing of local business men with of
ficials and directors of the Pacific in
ternational livestock exposition, of
whioB Mr. Stimson is the president.
The noted Seattle breeder and
dairyman has temporarily taken up
his residence In Portland, In order
that be may give personal attention
to preparations for the Pacific Inter
national's 1921 stockshow, scheduled
for the week of November 1-12.
The new exhibit annex to the stock-,
show pavilion in North Portland, to
gether with other additions made pos
sible by the 3100,000 appropriation al
lowed by the state legislature for
building extensions, is now aearing
completion, and it was in connection
with the sale of exhibit space in the
new annex that Mr. Stimson ex
pressed his opinion of "peace time
slackers."
"The ar is over, but the slacker is
still with us." he said. "You can find
him in most any line of business,
dodging his duty to his country and
to the rest of mankind, and too short
sighted to know that in doing so he is
working against his own interests.
The peace-time slacker is the slacker
in industry.
"Every thinking citisen knows that
the industries upon which all others
depend are agriculture and livestock,
and particularly Is this true at the
present critical time. The encourage
ment of agricultural industries is a
recognized government policy. Every
business man and manufacturer, no
matter what his line, owes a certain
duty to these basic industries.
"There are approximately 30,000
square feet of space to be disposed ot
in the new exhibit annex for the ap
proaching stockshow, and it is in
comprehensible to me why there is a
single square foot of space left at
this date."
The duke of Devonshire recently
aaid that his gardens alone cost him

Airplane Carries Serum in
Race With Death.
Craft. Rnahen From Kent, Wash
to Yakima fo Save Four Children.
SEATTLE. "Wa5h., Sept. 3. To save
the lives of four children an air
plane recently raced 100 miles through
fog and storm from Kent, Wash., to
Yakima. Wash. It carried as its cargo
20 drahms' of serum, which if ad
ministered in time, it was hoped,
would save the children from death
by infantile paralysis. The airplane
made its delivery in time.
Dr. Paul A. Turner of Seattle, state
director of health, received a tele
grame at t P. M. from Dr. H. H. Smith
of Yakima asking for enough serum
to save four children. He wanted it
rushed. Dr. Turner examined a time
table and saw that the railroad would
be too late. He thought of the air
plane. A police motorcycle, with a burly
father advancing its spark sped away
to Kent with the serum, and at 3:35
Herbert Hunter's plane left the ground.
climbed 11,000 feet, above the clouds,
and with the peak of Mount Rainier
guiding him flew away to the south
west. The ground was not sighted
again until the Cascade mountains
had been parsed, but the life-giving
fluid was delivered to Dr. Smith at
4--50 P. M. -
Infantile paralysis had caused the
death of more than 25 children in ten
days in Washington state. To fight
it serum was rushed here from Roch
ester, Minn.
