Address All Communications to COOS RAY DAILY TIMES Marshfleld Oregon A FAIR SUGGESTION. was Last summer no little good accomplished and very extensive ad vantage was gained through the shrowdness and tact of the Secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, Col. Walter Lyons, In specializing, among tho many resources of Coos county, the merits and unusual excellence of the apple which Coos county prod uces In Its best form and flavor called the Gravensteln. Tho prize box caused almost a sensation and atten tion was more effectively drawn to ' Coos Bay by reason of tho little apple exhibition, both at Coos Bay and at Portland, than by reason of anything which has been dono In fifteen years, except what was done at tho Portland fair. In making Its list for premiums tho committee hav ing In charge tho arrangements for tho fair must not overlook that feature. They must make a specialty of tho Gravensteln and give a good big prize for tho best box. To do otherwise and place twenty or thirty products of different kinds on the same level will make the fair com mon place. It Is tho same with a man. If a man can do a multitude of things well ho will liavo no dis tinction at all. If ho does ono thing well ho will bo better known and more widely regarded. Don't make the fnir a common place thing with out its special feature. Make fruits three times as prominent as potatoes. Evorybody can easily satisfy himself that wo can grow potatoes ad libi tum, but It needs to bo demonstrated that wo nro just as good a fruit coun try a3 Hood River and that wo lead tho world whero the world needs a lender badly and where Hood Kivor cannot lead. The Gravensteln apple, a special coal exhibit, an exhibit of Myrtlo and white cedar and articles mado therefrom will prove unusual attractions. This means that they mny well bo specialized. Thoro should bo an effort to find tho aston ishing things which, when people from tho outside come here, they will boo for tho first time. Shell work in ornamental lines, berries wild and domestlcnted and even tho Empire clam will bo eye-openers. Tho com mittee should also try and get each interest to inako an exhibit. Tho fruit men should havo their exhibit and make It a bummer This apart from tho Gravensteln exhibit. The Gravensteln should havo a big hall of Us own In future- fairs nnd a de partment of Its own in this ono. Tho Dairy men should get busy overywhero In Coos and Curry coun ties. Thero should bo a prize given for tho best mineral exhibit showing Coos and Curry county minerals Coos nnd Curry county structural material. Let every stono qunry, ce ment bed, etc., brick clay have a chnnco, but lot no fish, fruit, veget able, minora! or liorso rnco displace tho Gravensteln from its thronq as tho king of Coos. ' ! : WITH THE t TOAST AND TEAS t : .. An Intemperate Song. There was a maid lived in the South, And an oldish maid was she. She advertised for a hub one day. Who a Northern man must bo "For I've waited here and I've waited long, But nobody comes!" she cried. So in tho North Tho word went forth To a territory wide. There was a man from Harlem Who journeyed to the South, The roads were dry, and dusty, too, As also was his mouth. , Ho walked Into a hostelry, His whistle thero to wet; He had no fear. He asked for beer He's In the cooler yet. There was a man from Boston, Mass., A literary gent; Ho traveled down to Dixieland And cultured as ho went. Ho said the air was bracing and Intoxicated him They tied him fast And quickly cast Him into a dungeon dim. A traveler from Milwaukee, Wis., Wont down tho Mississlp, When ho went down ho had the blues Because he had the grip. Ho said beneath the Southern Sun Ho felt his spirits rise Tho whistle blew, The Sheriff flew, And in a cell he lies. There was a man from Morrlstown Who traveled down the line. And thero ho met this oldish maid , And vowed she was divine Now, as he swore devotion true, Ho hiccoughed, feeling scared Sho turned away. She groaned, they say, And soberly decared: "Be still, my beating heart, be still, And calmly let me choose. For I tsand 'twlxt love and duty Yes; I stand 'twlxt love and booze." Ho fondly pressed her to him tight And whispered, "Let us fly!" So they ran away And were wed next day In a country not so dry. EX. HEARD ON FRONT STREET. "That man owes me an apology."
