SHOW TURNS TO QUALITY 4 GIRL IS YOUNGEST UNDER GRADUATE IX UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Pacific International's Advan tage in Center of Great Pacific Slope Is Pointed Out. Couldn't List Everything in This Whole Paper Some of the Values: THE SUNDAY OEEGOXIAy, PORTLAND, DECEMBER ,10,. 1923 1 Eastern recognition of the Pacific International Livestock exposition for the major national rating it has achieved is contained in. two impor tant breeders' magazines of national circulation. "In the co-ordination of helpful factors, the application of business diplomacy and the dynamic energy which enters into its direction, the Pacific International stands as one of the great organizations of Its kind.'' This is from the Breeders' Gazette, published in Chicago, the seat of the others in the trio of su preme livestock shows and one of the most important magazines cater ing to the interests of livestock men. An appeal for support for the big show here, shared alike by Portland and the northwest, appears on the editorial page of the Holsteln-Frle-sian World, a weekly magazine pub s llshed in Syracuse, N. Y. In the leading article appears a detailed summary of the exposition, Show Turns to Quality. The World says: "Having already gained the reputation of being the largest livestock show in America, this exposition has now set itself to the task of becoming greatest in quality as well. In the beef cattle exhibit it surpasses the Interna tional at Chicago in size; in the showing of dairy breeds it is larger than the National Dairy show. On the whole it compares very favor ably with both these expositions in quality, although lacking some of the class of the older shows. But give it time. It's young yet, but a very live youngster. "The whole northwest is back of it, back of the men who are putting it over, and we predict and in the near future, too that at least the dairy breeds of the country will recognize the Pacific International as a. show demanding and getting national lecognition in the form of representation from the entire coun try." Success Is Remarkable. The Breeders' Gazette, which car ries four full pages and gives com plete awards, has five paragraphs which should bring joy to the heart of the men behind the Portland chow. They follow: "Beyond all doubt the Pacific In ternational Livestock exposition in Portland, Or., has assumed a rank alongside of kindred events of major importance, national and interna tional. The 12th annual session was an outstanding success and retained a balance between departments which big shows rarely possess. De . spite inclement weather, the attend ance seemingly came unhindered and surpassed last year's record. The show's position is secure, due to the immense actual and poten tial agricultural wealth of the sec tion which it serves. It represents, in fact, a community enterprise on a colossal scale, with some 4500 share holders contributing to its upbuild ing. Sections far removed from Portland are quite as interested in the show as the neighboring terri tory. In the co-ordination of help ful factors the application of bus' ness diplomacy and the dynamic en ergy which enters into its direction, the Pacific International stands as one of the great organizations of its kind. Pacific Has Adviantages. "Every division, beef cattle and swine excepted, showed an increase in entries. The territory which is devoted more especially to beef pro duction and the exploitation of the beef breeds is located well beyond Portland; whereas dairying has adapted itself to the more fertile valleys nearer the points of great consumption, and sheep are so in timately linked up with the agricul ture of that section as a whole that the sheep division was of surprising magnitude and strength. "Unusual interest centered in the light and heavy harness and saddle horse show. But above all other impressions of the show in all Its phases is that of its contribution Improved stock production. Eleva tion, water, minerals and succulent feeds are accountable tor tne ex traordinary production which all of the dairy breeds have developed on the Pacific slope. Such advantages are making it a breeding ground, where progress can continue with out the imperative need of continual drafts upon seed stock from other climes. "The herds and flocks in that ter ritory are assuming a position from which they can distribute to other sections, less favored by natural conditions, influences for good in al most all branches of purebred live stock. These facts, coupled with the fact that most of the livestock exhibited at this show are in the hands of the farmer type of breeder, whose only vocation is farming, promise much for the future growth of the industry in the Pacific northwest." it ' fri V 't ' ' fi INSANE ARE SENT AWAY Washington State Plans to Save S750,0()0 in Expense.

Joseph Dorfman, a student at Reed college, Is the second Portland news boy to receive a scholarship award from the "Hustler education fund," a sum gleaned from the publication of the "Hustler," semi-annual maga zine of the newsboys. Dorfman, who is a graduate of Lincoln high school, was selected from several candidates to receive the $200 en dowment, by a committee consisting of the etreet circulating managers of Portland papers and Dr. Earl Smith, chairman, which met in Dr. Smith's office in The Oregonian building. For five years young Dorfman has been selling papers every after noon and night at Broadway and Glisan street, and paid his way through Lincoln high school largely on his earnings. During the past year and a half he has done addi tional work in the circulating de partments of Portland dailies, and is attending night school classes In ad dition to his regular college work. His enterprising spirit, and his con scientiousness, together with the difficulties which he has encoun tered in attending school, led the committee, to award him the schol arship. At Reed college Dorfman is a student of economics and political science. Accounting may be his choice of professions, he says. Throughout his year and a half at Reed college he has maintained a good scholarship a record, and his grades show consistent improve ment. In economics, his major sub ject, his record is exceptionally high. The $200 endowment award will ap ply upon Dorfman's tuition at Reed college. The "Hustler," which is the offi cial organ of Portland newsboys, is edited by Sam Wilderman, ex newsboy, an ex-Reed student and a member of The Oregonian sports staff. For its two editions each year many Portland business and professional men contribute their own services and financial support. Business firms are generous in sup plying advertising, the returns of which accrue to the education fund. An annual Christmas edition of the "Hustler" will appear December 23. Sam Pearlman, who received the first Hustler award last year, is a student of pre-medica at Pacific university, where he is making an enviable scholarship record.
